    (Administrative Citation)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    This matter comes before the Board upon the June 16, 1997 filing of an administrative
    citation pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) by the County of
    Will (County). A copy of that administrative citation is attached hereto. Service of the
    administrative citation was made upon Timothy A. Nichols (respondent) on June 13, 1997.
    The County alleges that on April 29, 1997, respondent, present owner and/or operator of a
    facility located in Will County and commonly known to the County as the 20423 Southeast
    Frontage Road, Joliet, Illinois, violated Sections 21(p)(1) and (p)(3) of the Act (415 ILCS
    5/21(p)(1), (p)(3) (1996)). The statutory penalty established for each violation is $500
    pursuant to Section 42(b)(4) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/42(b)(4) (1996)).
    Respondent has not filed a petition for review with the Clerk of the Board within 35
    days of the date of service as allowed by Section 31.1(d)(1) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/31.1(d)(1)
    (1996)). Therefore, the Board finds respondent has violated the provisions alleged in the
    administrative citation. Since there are two (2) such violations, the total penalty to be imposed
    is set at $1,000.

    Payment of this penalty does not prevent future prosecution if the violation
    continues.

    Section 41 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/41 (1996)) provides for
    the appeal of final Board orders to the Illinois Appellate Court within 35 days of service of this
