OPINION

AND

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Dr. Satchell):

This matter comes before the Board upon a complaint filed

January 12,

1976 by the Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency)

alleging that the Village of Kampsville owns and

operates a public water supply serving approximately 440

people in Calhoun County,

Illinois.

The complaint further

alleges that Iampsville

has since September 12,

1973 operated

its public water supply without a certified Class C, Class B,

or Class A water supply operator in violation of Section 501

of an Act to Regulate the Operating of a Public Water Supply

System,

Rule 302 of the Board’s Chapter

6: Public Water

Supply and Section 18 of the Environmental Protection Act

(Act).

A hearing was held February 27,

1976 in Hardin, Illinois,

A Stipulation and Proposed Settlement was introduced at the

hearing.

No testimony was given.

The proposed settlement is as follows.

The Village

admits it did not have a properly certified water supply

operator from April

1,

1974 until March,

1975 and from Sep-

tember

1,

1975 to January, 1976.

Respondent agrees to pay

within thirty-five days of the rendering of an order by the

Board

a penalty of $100 for the admitted violations.

The

Agency has been made aware of actions taken by the Village

to correct the aforesaid violation.

Respondent has furnished

evidence that Jack Grissom,

a village employee,

is

as of

January 16,

1976 a properly certified Class

“C” public

water supply operator.

The Board finds the settlement proposal acceptable

under the Procedural Rule 333.

The Board does find the

21 —257

---

—2—

village in violation of Section 501 of an Act to Regulate

the Operating of Public Water Supply, Rule 302, Chapter

6:

Public Water Supply, and Section 18 of the Act.

The penalty

is the minimum penalty allowable under Section 23 of an Act

to Regulate the Operating of a Public Water Supply.

Con-

sidering the small size of the Village of Kampsville the

Board finds the penalty to be adequate.

This constitutes the Board’s findings of fact and

conclusions of law.
