    A copy of that Administrative Citation is attached
    hereto, but will not be printed in the Board’s Opinion Volumes.
    Service of the Administrative Citation was made upon Ruth and
    Steve Sheppard on May 9,
    1992.
    Sangamon County alleges that on
    April
    13,
    1992, Ruth and Steve Sheppard, present owners and/or
    operators of a facility located in Sangamon County, and commonly
    known to the Agency as Berlin/R. Sheppard, violated Section
    21(p) (1)
    of the Act.
    The statutory penalty established for this
    violation is $500.00 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4) of the Act.

    with the Clerk of the Board within
    35 days of the date of service
    as allowed by Section 31.1(d) (2)
    of the Act.
    Therefore, pursuant
    to Section 31.1(d) (1), the Board finds that Ruth and Steve
    Sheppard has violated the provision alleged in the Administrative
    Citation.

    (1)
    such violation,
    the total
    penalty to be imposed
    is set at $500.00.
