OPINION
OF THE BOARD
(by Mr. Dumelie):
An Amended Complaint was filed in this case on February 21,
1978,
The
Complaint alleged that Respondent had accepted certain
wastes at a solid waste disposal site without prior Agency
authorization,
failed to apply adequate cover,
threatened and
caused water pollution, and allowed open burning.
A hearing was
held on August
22,
1978 at the St. Clair County Courthouse
in
Believille,
Illinois.
No members of the public were present.
At the hearing a Stipulation and Proposal for Settlement
was offered in lieu of any evidence.
The Stipulation was executed
by the Aqency and SCA Services of Illinois,
Inc.,
Respondent’s
successor.
The terms
of the Stipulation were incorporated in
a
Board Order dated November
2,
1978.
The Stipulation states that Respondent operates the
1a~qestlandfill in downstate Illinois on a 265 acre site north
of East St. Louis in
St. Clair County.
Disposal operations were
moved across Old Cahokia Creek to a more suitable area after this
case was filed.
A series of dates are listed on which Respondent
violated Rule 5.08 of the Department of Public Health Rules and
Rules
310(b)
and 311,
305(a) and 305(c)
of the Board’s Solid
Waste Regulations.
No water pollution violations were admitted.
As
a settlement Respondent proposes
to conform its operations
with certain plan sheets on file with the Agency.
The old site
shall
be closed by November
15,
1978 with a compacted layer
of one foot of suitable material.
From May
1,
1979--September
1,
1979 an additional foot of cover shall be applied.
Timely
com-
pliance with each date shall be insured with two performance bonds.
32—69
—2—
A specific mode of operation is prescribed for the new site.
Finally, the Stipulation calls for the revocation and re-
issuance of
certain operating permits and payment of
a $10,000
penalty.
The Board
finds that the Stipulation and Proposal for
Settlement represents
an adequate resolution of this case.
This Opinion constitutes the Board’s
findings of fact and
conclusions
of
law
in
this
matter.
