    (Administrative Citation)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On June 4, 1999, the County of Will (complainant) properly and timely filed an
    administrative citation with the Board pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental
    Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/31.1 (1998)), alleging that respondent violated Sections
    21(p)(1) and 21(p)(3) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/21(p)(1), 21(p)(3) (1998)). The statutory
    penalty established for each violation is $500 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4) of the Act. 415
    ILCS 5/42(b)(4) (1998).
    In this matter, respondent has not filed a petition for review with the Clerk of the
    Board within 35 days of the date of service as required by Section 31.1(d)(1) of the Act. 415
    ILCS 31.1(d)(1) (1998). Accordingly, the Board finds that respondent has violated the
    provisions alleged in the administrative citation, which is attached hereto. Since there are two
    such violations, the total penalty to be imposed is $1,000.
    It is hereby ordered that:
    1.
    Respondent shall pay a total civil penalty in the amount of $1,000 within 30
    days of the date of this order.
    2.
    Payment shall be made in the form of two separate certified checks or money
    orders. The first check shall be made payable to the County of Will in the
    amount of $500. The second check shall be made payable to the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Trust Fund in the amount of $500. The case number,
    case name, and respondent’s social security number or federal employer
    identification number should also be included on the checks (or money orders).
    3. The checks (or money orders) and the remittance form shall be sent to:
    Joy Hinz
    2
    Environmental Enforcement Officer
    Waste Services Division
    313 North Chicago Street
    Joliet, Illinois 60432
    4.
    Penalties unpaid after 30 days of the date of this order shall accrue interest
    pursuant to Section 42(g) of the Act. 415 ILCS 5/42(g) (1998).
    5.
    Payment of this penalty does not prevent future prosecution if the violations
    continue.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    Section 41 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/41 (1998)) provides for
    the appeal of final Board orders to the Illinois Appellate Court within 35 days of the date of
    service of this order. Illinois Supreme Court Rule 335 establishes such filing requirements.
    See 172 Ill. 2d R. 335; see also 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.246, Motions for Reconsideration.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 22nd day of July 1999 by a vote of 5-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
