    This matter comes before the Board upon a complaint filed

    Hartigan, Attorney General of the State of Illinois, against
    DuPage Plating Company, (“Plating Company”) located in Addison,
    DuPage County, Illinois. The complaint alleges that Plating
    Company has violated Section 9(b) of the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Act (“Act”), Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. l11~,pars.
    1001, et. seq., and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.144 of the Board’s
    rules and regulations.
    Hearing on this matter was held April 23, 1990, in Elmhurst,
    DuPage County, Illinois. At hearing, the parties submitted a
    Stipulation and Settlement Agreement, executed by the parties.
    The Stipulation sets forth facts pertaining to the nature,
    operations, and circumstances surrounding the claimed
    violations. Plating Company admits to past violations of Section
    9(b) of the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.144 and agrees to pay a
    civil penalty of three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500).
    Plating Company further agrees to cease and desist from the
    alleged violations.
    The Board finds the Settlement Agreement acceptable under 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 103.180. This Settlement Agreement in no way
    affects respondent’s responsibility to comply with any federal,
    state or local regulations, including but not limited to the Act
