    (Administrative Citation)
    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    This matter comes before the Board on an Administration Citation filed by the
    County of Jackson (County) pursuant to the Illinois Environmental Protection Act
    (Act). The citation was issued on June 20, 1996 and alleged that respondent was in
    violation of the Act, specifically, Section 21(o)(1), causing or allowing refuse in
    standing waters; Section 21(o)(2), causing or allowing leachate flows to enter waters of
    the State; Section 21(o)(5), causing or allowing uncovered refuse to remain from
    previous day’s operations; and Section 21(o)(12), causing or allowing litter to be
    uncollected and not contained after the end of the previous day’s operations.
    Hearing was held on November 6, 1996 in Murphysboro, Illinois. On
    December 19, 1996, the Board issued an interim opinion and order finding that the
    cited violations had occurred and imposed a penalty of $2,000.00. The Board also
    directed the Clerk of the Board and the County to file affidavits declaring their hearing
    costs.
    On December 26, 1996, the Clerk of the Board filed an affidavit stating that the
    Board’s hearing costs were one hundred, twenty-one dollars and sixty-five cents
    ($121.65). The Board’s costs cover the court reporter costs. Jackson County did not
    file an affidavit of hearing costs, and respondent did not file an objection to the Clerk
    of the Board’s affidavit of costs. Therefore the total hearing cost to be assessed against
    respondent is one hundred, twenty-one dollars and sixty-five cents ($121.65).
    This opinion constitutes the Board’s findings of fact and conclusions of law in
    this matter.
