v.

)

PCB 76~288

VILLAGE OF LAKE

ZURICH, an Illinois

municipal corporation,

Respondent.

CONCURRING OPINION (by Mr. Dumelle):

My preference would have been for a monetary penalty in

this case. Lake Zurich, as a community of 6,789 people, is not

too small to operate its costly sewage treatment plant according

to State regulations. And expensive sewage treatment plants are

not merely wide places in a sewer outfall~sjourney to the river.

The Order does finally put Lake Zurich on a tight program

of correction. As a deterrence to others and as an aid in the

enforcement of the Environmental Protection Act I would have

levied a penalty of at least $500.

Respectfully

submitted,
