    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M.E. Tristano):
     
    On February 5, 2002, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the
    State of Illinois (People), filed a complaint against Roderick Enterprises Inc.
    See
    415 ILCS
    5/31(c)(1) (2000); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204. The People allege that Roderick Enterprises Inc.
    violated various provisions of the Act, the Board’s Air Pollution Regulations, and Federal
    National Standards of Performance. The People further allege that Roderick Enterprises violated
    these provisions by operating new emission sources and new air pollution control equipment
    without obtaining the requisite state construction and operating permits, failed to pay annual site
    fees, and violation of performance testing requirements. The complaint concerns Roderick
    Enterprises Inc.’s crushed concrete facility at 5300 South Lawndale, McCook, Cook County.
     
    On March 24, 2003, the People and Roderick Enterprises Inc., filed a stipulation and
    proposed settlement, accompanied by a request for relief from the hearing requirement of Section
    31(c)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2002)). This filing is
    authorized by Section 31(c)(2) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (2002)).
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code
    103.300(a). Under the proposed stipulation, Roderick Enterprises Inc., denies the alleged
    violations and agrees to pay a civil penalty of $10,600.
     
    Unless the Board determines that a hearing is needed, the Board must cause notice of the
    stipulation, proposed settlement, and request for relief from the hearing requirement. Any person
    may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If anyone timely
    files a written demand for hearing, the Board will deny the parties’ request for relief and hold a
    hearing. 415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.300(b), (c). The Board directs the
    Clerk of the Board to provide the required notice.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on April 3, 2003, by a vote of 7-0.
