(Administrative Citation)
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
This matter comes before the Board upon the November 8, 1996 filing of an
administrative citation pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) by
the County of Vermilion (County). A copy of that administrative citation is attached hereto.
Service of the administrative citation was made upon Randall Richter on November 5, 1996.
1
The County alleges that on October 18, 1996 Randall Richter, present owner and/or operator
of a facility located in Vermilion County and commonly known to the County as Tract Nos.
775, OKWD 776A, and OKWD 777, violated Section 21(p)(1) of the Act. The statutory
penalty established for each violation is $500 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4) of the Act.
Randall Richter has not filed a petition for review with the Clerk of the Board within
35 days of the date of service as allowed by Section 31.1(d)(1) of the Act. Therefore, the
Board finds Randall Richter has violated the provision alleged in the administrative citation.
Since there is one (1) such violation, the total penalty to be imposed is set at $500.
1.
It is hereby ordered that, unless the penalty has already been paid, within 30
days of the date of this order, Randall Richter shall, by certified check or
money order payable to the County of Vermilion, pay a penalty in the amount
of $500, which is to be sent to:
County of Vermilion
Department of Health
200 South College Street
Danville, Illinois 61832
2.
Respondent shall include the remittance form and write the case name and
number and its social security or federal employer identification number on the
certified check or money order.
1
Proof of service was filed with the Board on March 14, 1997.
2
3.
Penalties unpaid after the due date shall accrue interest pursuant to Section 42(g)
of the Act.
4.
Payment of this penalty does not prevent future prosecution if the violation
continues.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Section 41 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/41 (1994)) provides for
the appeal of final Board orders to the Illinois Appellate Court within 35 days of the date of
service of this order. The Rules of the Supreme Court of Illinois establish filing requirements.
