    DISSENTING OPINION (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    I dissent from the majority opinion because, although the Board regularly accepts
    stipulation and settlement agreements in enforcement cases, wherein the respondent neither
    admits nor denies the alleged violations but agrees to pay a penalty, the Board does not
    recognize such settlement agreements in administrative citations. I believe that the Board
    should be consistent in its approach to settlements and accept or reject them in both types of
    cases.

    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above dissenting opinion was filed on the 11th day of June, 1997.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
