ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
On May 2, 2002, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) timely filed
an administrative citation against Rayetta Thompson (Thompson).
See
415 ILCS 5/31.1(c)
(2000); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(c). The Agency alleges that Thompson violated Section
21(p)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/21(p)(1) (2000)). The Agency
further alleges that Thompson violated this provision by causing or allowing the open dumping
of waste in a manner resulting in litter at a facility located on Route 127 just south of the Alto
Pass overpass in Union County.
However, the Agency states, in a June 4, 2002 motion to dismiss, that it failed to serve
the administrative citation on Thompson within “60 days after the date of the observed
violation.” 415 ILCS 5/31.1(b) (2000);
see also
35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(b). The Board
therefore dismisses this case and closes the docket.
See
35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.402.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the
Board adopted the above order on June 6, 2002, by a vote of 7-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
