DISSENTING OPINION (by R.C. Flemal):
Although I agree with the legal analysis in today’s majority order, I respectfully dissent from the order
because I do not believe the Environmental Protection Act grants the Board the authority to hear third-party cost
recovery cases.
For this reason, I dissent.
Ronald C. Flemal
Board Member
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that the above dissenting
opinion was submitted on the 26th day of July 1999.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
