    (Administrative Citation)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):
     
    On January 31, 2003, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) timely filed
    an administrative citation against Manzell Lawson, Sr. (Lawson).
    See
    415 ILCS 5/31.1(c)
    (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(c). The Agency alleges that Lawson violated Section
    21(p)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act. 415 ILCS 5/21(p)(1) (2002). The Agency further
    alleges that Lawson violated this provision by causing or allowing open dumping of waste in a
    manner resulting in litter at 4502 West Plank Road, Bellevue, Peoria County.
     
    However, the Agency states in a February 24, 2003 motion to dismiss, that it failed to
    serve the administrative citation on Lawson within “60 days after the date of the observed
    violation.” 415 ILCS 5/31.1(b) (2002);
    see also
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(b). The Board
    therefore dismisses this case and closes the docket.
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.402.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on March 6, 2003, by a vote of 6-0.
     
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
