    HEARING OFFICER FRANK:
    Let’s
    go back
    on the
    2
    record.
    This
    is a continuation
    of People
    of the State
    3
    of
    Illinois versus ESG Watts,
    Inc.,
    PCB 96-107.
    4
    Mr.
    Northrup,
    can you go ahead and call your
    first
    5
    witness?
    6
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Sure.
    Actually,
    at least
    one
    7
    preliminary
    matter.
    8
    HEARING OFFICER FRANK:
    Okay.
    9
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Have you ruled
    --
    remember,
    I
    10
    filed
    a motion about
    the Lieutenant
    Chisholm
    of the
    11
    Rock Island County Sheriff’s
    Department.
    Have you
    12
    made any ruling on that?
    13
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    My ruling would
    be
    14
    that we are not going
    to continue
    this hearing
    or
    15
    extend
    it
    for purposes of receiving
    that testimony.
    16
    If
    for some other
    reason we need another day of
    17
    testimony,
    which
    I am not anticipating,
    then
    I would
    18
    be willing
    to discuss
    doing
    that
    in Rock
    Island.
    But
    19
    if
    we conclude
    at the end of
    today,
    then we are done,
    20
    and since
    he
    is not here,
    he will not have the
    21
    opportunity
    to testify.
    22
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    You received our response
    to the
    23
    motion?
    24
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Yes,
    I
    did,

    656
    1
    A.
    You have
    to create
    --
    complete
    so many
    --
    I
    2
    forget
    what they’re called
    --
    credit
    hours
    and
    3
    competency
    hours
    to maintain
    it over
    a period
    of three
    4
    years.
    It’s like,
    I think,
    12 hours
    or 15.
    They
    S
    issue you credits
    on
    things,
    classes that you take,

    Have you kept
    up with that?
    8
    A.
    I’m lacking
    in it.
    I

    I have
    like
    four
    9
    or five more credits
    to obtain,
    but
    I have
    like
    10
    another year

    it.
    11
    Q.
    You’re
    still
    a certified
    CHMM?
    12
    A.
    Yeah,
    yes.
    13
    Q.
    Let me show you what’s already been marked
    as
    14
    People’s Exhibit Number
    5.
    Why don’t
    you take
    a look
    15
    at the third

    on there.
    16
    A.

    Q.
    Now,
    that map shows
    two ponds?
    20
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    22.
    Q.
    What
    are those referred to as
    on there?
    22
    A.
    Whitley’s
    pond and a landfill pond.
    23
    0.
    Okay.
    Are you familiar with both
    of
    those
    24
    ponds?

    1
    A.
    Yes.
    2
    Q.
    Does
    the landfill pond
    still
    exist?
    3
    A.
    No.
    4
    Q.
    What happened to that pond?
    5
    A.
    That was due
    to construction
    activities
    as we
    6
    moved
    from
    --
    the face
    of the fill from the northwest
    7
    to the northeast,
    It’s created when you expand
    8
    through.
    9
    Q.
    Now,
    if
    I use the term the Whitley retention
    10
    pond,
    do you understand
    what
    I’m talking about?
    11
    A.
    Yes.
    12
    Q.
    Is that
    the Whitley retention
    pond?
    13
    A.
    No,
    it’s not.
    14
    Q.
    I
    should say when
    I use that
    term Whitley
    15
    retention pond,
    what
    do you understand
    that
    to mean?
    16
    A.
    That’s
    a pond area
    --
    or
    it’s not
    --
    well,
    17
    yeah,
    I guess
    it is.
    You’d
    call
    it
    a little pond area
    18
    that was created by him putting
    a berm across his
    19
    property
    to cut off water that was entering
    the
    20
    Whitley
    lake or Whitley
    pond.
    21
    Q.
    Do you know when that was created?
    22
    A.
    I
    believe
    sometime around
    1989.
    23
    Q.
    What happened
    to the water
    in that landfill
    24
    pond?

    or possibly
    could
    2
    have been discharged
    out.
    I’m not

    where
    that pond
    3
    is now it’s landfill actually

    I mean it’s

    Let
    me
    show you what’s
    been marked
    as
    6
    People’s Exhibit
    6
    7
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    It’s
    a NPDES
    permit.
    8
    Q.
    Are you familiar with
    that permit?
    9
    A.
    Relatively
    speaking,
    yeah.
    I didn’t prepare
    10
    it
    or anything.
    11
    Q.
    Now,
    on the second page
    of
    at least my copy
    12
    there
    are references
    to discharge
    number and name?
    13
    A.
    Right

    And it’s got 001?

    Ponded
    storm water
    on north side

    A.
    Correct
    19
    Q.
    What
    is your understanding
    of what
    that
    20
    ponded
    storm water
    is?
    21
    A.
    Those
    are ponds
    that were created
    as
    we,
    like
    22
    I
    say,
    as we excavated
    from the northwest
    to the
    23
    northeast,
    You have
    to dig out down
    to your bottom
    24
    elevation,
    and as you do that,
    you’re usually like

    maybe three
    or
    four,
    maybe
    even six months ahead
    of
    2
    your landfilling
    activities,
    and as you do
    that,
    as
    3
    precipitation
    comes
    in the landfill,
    ponds are
    4
    created.
    And
    in order
    to remove
    the water
    to move
    5
    into those areas,
    you have
    to pump
    it
    out.
    6
    Q.
    Okay.
    7
    A.
    And
    in order to do that,
    you need
    a NPDES
    8
    permit
    to do that.
    9
    Q.
    Would
    you
    from
    time
    to
    time
    pump
    water
    out
    of
    10
    those ponds?
    11
    A.
    Yes,
    we would.
    12
    Q.
    where did you pump
    that water
    to?
    13
    A.
    To what’s designated
    as discharge
    point
    001.
    14
    Q.
    And what
    is
    that?
    Where
    is it?
    15
    A.
    It’s a natural
    ravine more northeast
    than
    16
    northwest.
    I guess you would refer
    to where
    Siebke’s

    comes
    up,

    When was the last time you pumped water

    we

    garbage
    in
    by

    of
    ‘93.
    3
    Q.
    Describe
    for me that
    area.
    4
    A.
    It’s
    on
    the
    northeast
    corner
    of
    the
    landfill,
    S
    not
    necessarily
    the
    corner
    but
    in
    approximately
    150
    6
    feet
    from
    the
    north
    boundary
    lines
    in
    the
    northeast
    7
    corner
    and
    approximately
    100
    feet
    to
    the
    east
    of
    the
    8
    east boundary
    of the garbage area
    or the landfill
    area
    9
    in
    there.
    It
    was
    a
    big
    depression
    with
    garbage
    all
    10
    the
    way
    around
    it.
    11
    Q.
    Other than that nonwaste disposal
    area,
    when
    12
    was
    the
    last
    time
    you
    pumped
    ponded
    storm
    water
    13
    pursuant
    to
    this
    permit?
    14
    A.
    After
    we
    put
    that
    in
    or
    before?
    I
    don’t
    I
    15
    guess
    --
    16
    Q.
    Yeah.
    Before
    the
    nonwaste
    disposal
    area
    was
    17
    there.
    18
    A.
    Oh,
    we
    pumped
    routinely
    through
    the
    years
    all
    19
    along
    there.
    It
    wasn’t
    necessarily
    that
    area.
    But
    20
    for this permit
    we pumped
    routinely
    as we moved across
    21
    it
    all
    the
    time.
    Not
    all
    the
    time
    but
    when
    we
    needed
    22
    to.
    23
    Q.
    When did you need to pump?
    24
    A.
    Usually when
    the water got to an excessive

    where
    you
    couldn’t

    or
    we
    were
    ready
    to
    2
    move
    into
    that
    area.
    You know,
    it was
    at our
    3
    discretion when we pumped,
    so we pumped when
    it was
    4
    advantageous
    to
    us
    to
    pump
    or
    --
    yeah,
    I
    guess
    that
    --
    5
    whenever
    we
    needed
    to.
    6
    Q.
    Is
    it your understanding
    that
    this permit
    7
    that
    allows
    you
    to
    discharge
    ponded
    storm
    water
    would
    8
    apply
    to
    the
    Whitley
    retention
    pond?
    9
    A.
    No.
    I
    wouldn’t
    consider
    that
    at
    all.
    10
    Q.
    Now,
    you
    indicated
    you
    were
    familiar
    with
    11
    what
    I’ve
    referred
    to
    as
    the
    Whitley
    retention
    pond.
    12
    A.
    Correct.
    13
    Q.
    How
    are
    you
    familiar
    with
    that?
    14
    A.
    That
    was
    a
    depression
    on
    the
    northwest
    corner
    15
    of
    the
    landfill
    that
    was
    created
    presumably
    to
    cut
    off
    16
    water
    that
    was
    coming
    from
    all
    those
    areas,
    the
    Watts
    17
    landfill,
    possibly
    even
    to
    the
    west
    on
    Whitley’s
    18
    property.
    That’s
    a
    ravine
    area
    that
    water
    from
    all
    19
    that
    area
    goes
    into
    one
    area.
    Years
    and
    years
    ago
    20
    that was a natural
    ravine
    that went
    through
    there.
    21
    Q.
    Describe
    that
    area for me.
    22
    A.
    It’s hilly.
    Prior
    to us excavating
    through
    23
    there,
    there
    was

    north,
    however
    you
    want
    to
    put
    it,
    and
    as
    we
    went
    2
    through there and landfilled,
    that ravine obviously
    3
    was taken
    out,
    liner put
    in,
    and garbage brought
    up.
    4
    And
    in
    doing
    that,
    like
    I
    said,
    about
    1989,
    in
    order
    5
    to
    cut
    off
    water
    that
    was
    running
    down
    off
    the
    site,
    6
    Mr.
    Whitley
    put
    a
    berm
    across
    there,
    whatever
    you
    want
    7
    to
    call
    it,
    and
    obviously
    backed
    up
    water
    right
    there.
    8
    Q.
    Have
    you
    ever
    dredged
    the
    Whitley
    retention
    9
    pond?
    10
    A.
    Yes.
    11
    Q.
    How
    many
    times?
    12
    A.
    Personally
    I was involved with one incident,
    13
    but
    I
    know
    prior
    to
    that
    it
    was
    dredged,
    I
    don’t
    know,
    14
    eight,
    ten
    times
    maybe.
    15
    Q.
    Do
    you
    have
    any
    idea
    when
    it
    was
    dredged?
    16
    A.
    No.
    17
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    why
    it
    was
    dredged?
    18
    A.
    To
    keep
    the
    siltation
    out
    of
    it,
    to
    keep
    the
    19
    water
    level
    down
    on
    it
    to
    reduce
    water
    from
    --
    I guess
    20
    on
    a big rain event
    after
    he put
    it
    in,
    it went out
    21
    one
    time
    and
    he
    put
    it
    back
    in,
    and
    then
    we
    cleaned
    it
    22
    out
    a few times after
    that,
    but the dates
    we cleaned
    23
    it
    I don’t
    know.
    The one time I’m very much familiar
    24
    with was back
    in
    ‘95.

    Q.
    Let’s
    talk
    about
    that
    for
    a
    while.
    Do
    you
    2
    know when exactly
    in
    ‘95 you did this dredging?
    3
    A.
    It was around June,
    I believe,
    we started
    it.
    4
    Q.
    And
    what
    exactly
    did
    you
    do?
    5
    A.
    There
    was
    some
    concern
    by
    Mr.
    Whitley
    at
    that
    6
    time
    about
    it,
    and
    I
    don’t
    know
    how
    I
    ended
    up
    talking
    7
    to
    him,
    but
    I
    did.
    I
    went
    down
    there,
    met
    with
    Joe,
    8
    looked
    at
    the
    situation,
    and
    said
    really
    --
    we’d
    been
    9
    --
    we had been taking some
    of the dredgings
    and
    10
    putting
    them
    behind
    us
    on
    the
    hillside.
    Obviously
    11
    that
    wasn’t
    going
    to
    work.
    So,
    what
    --
    I
    took
    it
    upon
    12
    myself
    to go down there with our 400 excavator.
    We
    13
    completely cleaned that entire
    area out.
    14
    Q.
    What’s
    a
    400
    excavator?
    15
    A.
    It’s
    a
    hundred
    ton
    track
    hoe
    excavating
    16
    machine.
    It’s
    the
    biggest
    piece
    of
    equipment
    we
    got
    17
    to
    dig
    with.
    We
    went
    down
    and
    completely
    cleaned
    out
    18
    all
    the
    siltation,
    everything
    that
    had
    accumulated
    19
    behind
    that dike right up against his dike,
    I guess
    20
    you call
    it.
    We hauled
    all
    of that out,
    40,
    50,
    60
    21
    truckloads
    of
    it,
    put
    it
    near
    the
    active
    area
    of
    where
    22
    we were landfilling
    at that time.
    It was fairly dry
    23
    and we wanted
    to dry
    it
    out.
    Then
    I brought
    in a
    24
    combination
    of blue clays and whatever
    we were digging

    664
    1
    at
    that
    time,
    brought
    it
    back
    into
    that
    area.
    We
    2
    brought
    that area
    up approximately
    level with Mr.
    3
    Whitley’s
    dike,
    I
    guess
    you’d
    call
    it.
    4
    He
    was
    concerned
    about
    the
    fence
    that
    he
    lost.
    We
    5
    understood
    that
    he
    lost
    two
    fences
    that
    he
    put
    in
    6
    there.
    And
    the
    way
    it
    was
    being
    handled
    at
    that
    time
    7
    wasn’t
    the
    right
    way,
    I
    didn’t
    feel,
    so
    I
    went
    down
    8
    and
    talked
    with
    him.
    We
    struck
    a
    line
    where
    we
    felt
    9
    the
    property
    line
    was,
    brought
    in
    blue
    clay,
    10
    recompacted
    it
    up,
    set
    a
    brand
    new
    fence
    in
    there
    for
    11
    him.
    12
    After
    that,
    it
    was
    obvious
    that
    if
    a
    diversion
    13
    wasn’t
    built,
    we
    were
    going
    to
    have
    the
    same
    problem
    14
    we
    had
    before.
    So
    instead
    of
    where
    they
    had
    the
    15
    diversion
    at
    that
    time,
    which
    was
    too
    low
    to
    divert
    16
    the
    water,
    we
    brought
    a
    diversion
    up
    about
    maybe
    40
    or
    17
    50
    feet
    above
    that
    fence
    area
    and
    started
    a
    diversion
    18
    across,
    running
    from
    west
    to
    east
    so
    the
    water
    that
    19
    did hit that
    area hopefully would have entered the
    20
    area
    of the
    001 discharge or
    in that general
    vicinity.
    21
    Reduce the amount
    of water that was going
    in there
    is
    22
    what we tried
    to do.
    23
    Q.
    Has
    that
    diversion
    been
    successful?
    24
    A.
    Yeah,
    it
    has
    I
    think.
    Relatively
    speaking.

    I
    mean
    obviously,
    there’s
    still
    water
    from
    where
    the
    2
    diversion
    is and below going into
    there,
    but
    I don’t
    3
    think
    it’s
    --
    it’s
    not
    nearly
    as
    bad
    as
    it
    was,
    no.
    4
    Q.
    Where
    does
    the
    water
    get
    diverted
    to?
    5
    A.
    It
    gets
    diverted
    to
    the

    6
    Q.
    Now,
    let

    show
    you
    what
    I

    but
    I’ll
    refer
    to
    it
    as
    Respondent’s
    Exhibit
    6.
    They
    8
    are
    three
    photographs
    that
    the
    Attorney
    General
    has
    9
    not
    seen.
    10
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I
    was
    going
    to
    say
    we’ve
    11
    not
    seen
    those
    photographs.
    12
    Ms.
    Hearing
    Officer,
    I
    would
    just
    like
    to
    make
    a
    13
    statement
    for the record.
    I believe
    the production
    of
    14
    these
    photographs
    at
    this
    point
    in
    time
    is
    clearly
    an
    15
    abuse
    of
    the
    discovery
    process.
    These
    were
    not
    16
    previously
    provided
    to
    the
    Attorney
    General’s
    office,
    17
    and the dates
    on the back
    of the photographs,
    at least
    18
    on one of
    them,
    indicates
    August
    23,
    1995.
    These
    have
    19
    been
    in
    the
    possession
    of
    ESG
    Watts
    since
    at
    least
    20
    that
    time and have not been produced
    to the Attorney
    21
    General’s
    office,
    and we would object
    to their use
    at
    22
    this point
    in the hearing.
    23
    MR. NORTHRUP:
    Yeah.
    My response
    is
    in their
    24
    request for documents
    they wanted whatever documents
    I

    1
    was
    intending
    to
    rely
    upon
    at
    hearing.
    At
    the
    time
    I
    2
    responded
    to
    that
    I had no intention of relying
    on
    3
    these
    at hearing.
    Since
    that time there was testimony
    4
    by
    Mr.
    Whitley
    that
    during
    this
    dredging
    operation
    5
    they
    scooped
    up
    the
    silt
    and
    put
    it
    on
    the
    side
    of
    the
    6
    landfill.
    They
    didn’t
    haul
    it
    away
    or
    anything.
    7
    These
    pictures
    show
    that
    in
    fact
    the
    silt
    was
    hauled
    8
    away.
    It
    was
    not
    just
    left
    there
    to
    simply
    run
    back
    9
    into
    his
    retention
    pond.
    So
    it’s
    kind
    of
    a
    rebuttal
    10
    type
    of
    thing.

    HEARING
    OFFICER
    PRANK:
    Well,
    we’ve
    had
    a
    12
    month and a half between hearings,
    and you have
    a duty
    13
    to supplement
    timely,
    and
    it
    seems to me that within
    14
    that
    month
    and
    a
    half
    you
    could
    have
    gotten
    these
    to
    15
    the Attorney General’s
    office.
    So
    I am not going
    to
    16
    admit
    these
    exhibits.
    17
    Q.
    What did you do with the silt that was
    18
    removed
    from
    the
    Whitley
    retention
    pond?
    19
    A.
    The
    silt
    went
    to
    the
    east
    of
    the
    --
    of that
    20
    area.
    That’s
    the northwest
    corner
    of the landfill.
    21
    It went approximately
    to the northeast
    corner of the
    22
    landfill
    in the active working area.
    23
    Q.
    And
    how
    many
    truckloads
    do
    you
    think
    you
    took
    24
    out
    of there?

    A.
    40,
    50,
    60
    maybe.
    We
    dug
    it
    clear
    down
    to

    where
    --
    oh,
    geez,
    we dug

    I
    don’t
    know
    how
    deep.
    3
    That

    was

    feet
    long

    feet

    5
    Q.
    Okay.
    Now,
    you

    that
    you
    put
    blue
    6
    clay
    back
    in

    area.
    7

    Blue
    and
    various
    other
    clays,
    right.
    8
    Q.
    Where
    did
    that
    come
    from?
    9
    A.
    From
    the
    borrow
    pit
    area
    to
    the
    north
    of

    -

    me,
    to

    area
    but
    in

    we
    own
    to

    12
    south.
    13
    Q.
    How
    long
    did
    this
    whole
    process
    take
    from
    14
    beginning
    to
    end?
    15
    A.
    Well,
    that
    immediate
    --
    the
    removal
    and
    the
    16
    blue
    clay
    was
    taken
    care
    of
    in
    a
    couple,
    three
    days,
    I
    17
    believe.
    It
    was
    done
    right
    away.
    There
    was
    other
    18
    things
    done
    as
    the
    summer
    months
    went
    on,
    but
    the
    19
    majority
    of
    it
    was
    done
    then.
    20
    Q.

    What
    were
    some
    of those other things
    21
    that
    were
    done?
    22
    A.
    Like putting back up the fence,
    putting
    up
    23
    the diversion
    above that,
    water diversion
    above
    that.
    24

    we

    other
    things
    in
    that
    corner
    area.
    Q.
    What were
    some
    of those things?
    A.
    Well,
    like
    I
    say,
    the
    diversion,
    we
    seeded
    some
    areas
    down
    over
    there,
    put
    up
    silt
    fencing
    over
    there,
    kind
    of
    waited
    and
    seen
    to

    things
    like
    that.
    The
    majority

    within

    a

    this
    taking

    place,
    so
    I was very interested

    worked on that
    level and also making sure that
    if
    10
    there
    was
    a

    if
    the

    needed

    they
    weren’t

    so
    if
    they
    12
    needed parts
    or whatever,
    I was able

    do whatever
    it took
    to help them

    1
    A.
    This
    day
    they
    were
    finishing
    up
    a
    hole.
    This
    2
    is
    the
    northeast
    corner
    of
    the
    landfill.
    The
    first
    3
    photograph
    shows
    the
    drilling
    rig
    fully
    set
    up
    with
    4
    its
    mast
    up.
    As
    I
    recall,
    they
    were
    just
    finishing
    up
    5
    a
    hole,
    drilling
    one
    of
    these
    holes.
    6
    Q.
    Had
    they
    pulled
    spoils?
    7
    A.
    Yes.
    8
    Q.
    Okay.
    9
    A.
    Yes,
    they
    had.
    10
    Q.
    What
    did
    they
    do
    with
    those
    spoils?
    11
    A.
    Some
    were
    on
    the
    ground.
    Some
    were
    in
    the
    12
    roll-off
    truck
    that
    you
    see
    in
    the
    6:55
    photograph.
    13
    The
    roll-off
    truck
    obviously
    is
    full.
    The
    roll-off
    14
    box
    was
    full
    of
    spoils
    at
    that
    time.
    The
    remaining
    15
    spoils
    --
    because
    we’re
    on
    the
    side
    of
    the
    hill,
    the
    16
    operator
    takes
    those
    remaining
    spoils
    and
    brings
    them
    17
    up
    close
    to
    the
    roll-off
    box
    because
    you
    have
    to
    load
    18
    off
    level
    ground.
    You
    couldn’t
    take
    the
    truck
    down
    19
    the
    hill
    to
    load
    it.
    So
    they’d
    scoop
    it
    up,
    and
    20
    because
    the box was full,
    they would carry
    it up and
    21
    stockpile
    it
    there.
    22
    Q.
    Okay.
    What
    happened
    to
    those
    spoils?
    23
    A.
    They
    were
    put
    in
    the
    daily
    face
    of
    the
    fill
    24
    that
    night.

    Q.
    On
    that
    date
    were
    any
    spoils
    left
    uncovered
    2
    at
    the landfill?
    3
    A.
    No,
    they
    were
    not.
    4
    0.
    On
    that
    first
    photograph,
    I
    believe
    it’s
    the
    5
    6:55?
    6
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    7
    Q.
    What’s
    the
    condition
    of
    the
    drill
    rig?
    8
    A.
    It’s
    in a fully operating
    drilling mode
    right
    9
    there.
    The mast
    is fully extended.
    The stabilizers
    10
    are
    down.
    The
    tracks
    are
    turned
    to
    a
    stable
    position.
    11
    Q.
    Okay.
    Do
    you
    see
    the
    drill
    rig
    in
    any
    of
    the
    12
    other photographs?
    13
    A.
    No,
    I do not.
    14
    Q.
    How
    easy
    is
    it
    to
    move
    that
    drill
    rig?
    15
    A.
    Well,
    one
    man
    can
    move
    the
    rig
    because
    it’s
    16
    very
    mobile
    and
    it
    was
    a
    custom-made
    machine
    by
    this
    17
    drilling
    company.
    However,
    the
    time
    it
    takes
    to
    knock
    18
    this
    rig
    down
    from
    that
    fully
    mast
    position
    --
    19
    Q.
    What
    do
    you
    mean
    by
    knock
    it
    down?
    20
    A.
    Well,
    take
    it down
    so
    it could
    be mobile,
    it
    21
    could
    be
    moved
    to
    the
    next
    hole.
    It
    takes
    maybe
    15
    to
    22
    20 minutes.
    23
    Q.
    So in the first
    photograph
    it
    cannot
    be moved
    24
    in that state
    with the mast up?

    673
    1
    A.
    No,
    no.
    2
    Q.
    So
    tell
    me
    what
    exactly
    do
    you
    have
    to
    do
    3
    prior
    to
    moving
    it?
    4
    A.
    The
    mast
    is
    fully
    extended.
    That
    has
    to
    be
    S
    retracted
    down.
    The
    stabilizers
    all
    have
    to
    come
    up,
    6
    not
    necessarily
    at
    one
    time
    because
    the
    rig
    could
    tip.
    7
    So
    --
    8
    Q.
    What
    are
    the
    stabilizers?
    9
    A.
    There’s
    four hydraulic stabilizers
    on the
    10
    corners
    of
    the
    rig.
    It
    has
    to
    be
    on
    a
    level
    situation
    13.
    so
    you
    drill
    a
    straight
    hole.
    If
    it’s
    off,
    you’ll
    12
    drill
    at
    an angle.
    You’ll
    see
    a dozer also
    in the
    13
    right
    side.
    That’s
    usually
    to
    go
    in
    there
    and
    create
    14
    what’s
    called
    a
    bench
    so
    --
    there’s
    very
    little
    15
    stabilization
    when
    you
    get
    there.
    The
    rig
    can’t
    be
    16
    tilted one way or the other.
    It has
    to be square.
    17
    When
    you’re
    on
    the
    side
    of
    a
    hill,
    the
    stabilizer
    18
    won’t
    extend
    all
    the
    way
    down
    to
    level
    out
    the
    rig,
    so
    19
    sometimes
    you
    have
    to
    cut
    it
    out
    and
    create
    what’s
    20
    called
    a
    bench.
    And
    when
    you’re
    on
    the
    side
    of
    a
    21
    hill,
    it
    takes
    a
    lot
    to
    set
    it
    up
    and
    it
    takes
    a
    lot
    22
    to get
    it out
    of there
    also,
    because
    it’s
    a steep
    23
    area.
    24
    Q.
    Okay.
    So
    again,
    how long would
    it
    take
    to

    1
    get
    that
    machine
    ready
    to
    be
    moved?
    2
    A.
    15 minutes.
    3
    Q.
    Okay.
    4
    A.
    At
    least.
    5
    Q.
    How
    fast
    does
    that
    machine
    move
    once
    it’s
    6
    ready
    to
    be
    moved?
    7
    A.
    About
    walking
    speed.
    It’s
    on
    what’s
    called
    a
    B
    990
    DLC
    track
    hoe
    frame
    and
    there’s
    only
    one
    speed
    on
    9
    it,
    which
    is
    extremely
    low.
    So
    you
    can
    walk
    faster
    10
    than
    the
    machine
    can
    move.
    And
    the
    pictures
    from
    6:55
    11
    to
    7:05
    if
    they
    were
    all
    taken
    in
    the
    same
    --
    it’s
    12
    impossible
    to move
    that rig from that position
    out
    of
    13
    that
    position
    in
    the
    third
    picture
    in
    ten
    minutes.
    14
    There’s
    no
    way
    you
    can
    do
    it.
    These
    pictures
    could
    15
    not
    have
    been
    taken
    from
    6:55
    to
    7:05.
    You
    couldn’t
    16
    have
    the
    mast
    down
    by
    7:05
    over
    here.
    Especially
    in
    17
    that
    area,
    that’s

    it
    would

    them
    30
    minutes

    5
    well,
    spoils
    from
    the
    installation
    of
    the

    6
    were
    left

    9

    The next
    day.
    10
    Q.
    Which
    would
    be?
    11
    A.
    September
    11th,
    I
    believe
    it
    was
    a
    Wednesday.
    12
    Yeah.
    13
    Q.
    And
    explain
    that
    for
    me.
    14
    A.
    The
    next
    morning
    the
    drillers
    arrived.
    They
    15
    always
    got
    there
    real
    early,
    and
    I
    arrived
    at
    the
    site
    16
    probably
    around
    8,
    8:30.
    And
    there
    was
    a
    thunderstorm
    17
    coming
    in
    and
    they
    were
    in
    the
    middle
    of
    drilling
    the
    18
    hole
    after
    this
    left
    this
    position
    to
    another
    19
    position.
    In
    a
    thunderstorm
    you
    have
    to
    drop
    the
    mast
    20
    whether
    it’s
    raining
    or
    not.
    Obviously,
    it’s
    a
    giant
    21
    lightning
    rod,
    and
    they
    were
    on
    top
    of
    the
    hill.
    By
    22
    the time
    I got to the top of the hill,
    it was raining
    23
    unbelievably
    hard,
    extremely
    hard.
    Consequently,
    the
    24
    pull-off
    cable
    that
    pulls
    what’s
    called
    the
    kelly
    to

    1
    empty
    the
    box
    broke.
    2
    Q.
    Explain that.
    What’s the kelly?
    What
    --
    3
    A.
    The kelly
    is the actual
    steel rod that
    does
    4
    the
    drilling.
    The
    mast
    supports
    it,
    the
    kelly
    comes
    5
    down,
    the
    bucket’s
    attached
    to
    the
    kelly.
    The
    kelly
    6
    extends
    like
    an
    antenna
    out
    to
    120
    feet.
    As
    you
    drill
    7
    down
    and
    get
    a
    load
    of
    garbage
    in
    your
    bucket,
    which
    B
    is
    approximately
    three
    feet
    in
    diameter
    by
    three
    feet
    9
    tall,
    it
    comes
    out
    of
    the
    hole,
    and
    then
    there’s
    a
    10
    cable
    with
    a
    pulley
    on
    it
    that
    pulls
    the
    kelly
    off
    to
    11
    the
    side.
    You
    drop
    it,
    hammer
    it
    against
    the
    side
    of
    12
    the
    rig
    to
    drop
    the
    garbage
    and
    spoils
    out.
    Okay?
    13
    That pulley gets
    a lot of tension.
    You replace them
    14
    --
    from
    what
    the
    drillers
    told
    me,
    it’s
    not
    uncommon
    15
    to
    replace
    them
    monthly
    because
    nobody
    can
    build
    one
    16
    strong
    enough
    to
    last.
    17
    That
    morning
    that
    pulley
    broke.
    And
    because
    it
    18
    was
    raining,
    we
    were
    in
    our
    office
    trying
    to
    figure
    19
    out
    where
    we
    were
    going
    to
    get
    one
    of
    these.
    They
    had
    20
    started
    a hole
    that morning.
    We couldn’t find on the
    21
    phone
    anyone.
    So
    I knew of
    a Jensen’s Welding down
    at
    22
    Davenport,
    Iowa,
    that could manufacture
    one from
    23
    scratch.
    So we proceeded down
    there.
    It was probably
    24
    around 11:00
    and still
    raining.
    Jensen’s
    told us
    it

    wouldn’t
    be
    ready
    until
    approximately
    5:00,
    so
    we
    ate
    2
    lunch,
    went and shot our bows
    at
    a sporting goods
    3
    place,
    came back
    at
    5:00,
    the pulley was done.
    4
    By
    this
    time
    it
    had
    cleared
    up.
    We went back to
    5
    the
    landfill.
    It
    was
    right
    around
    5:00
    when
    we
    got
    6
    back
    that
    day
    at
    the
    landfill.
    I
    went
    to
    open
    the
    7
    gate,
    and
    we
    were
    in
    the
    drilling
    rig’s
    company
    truck,
    8
    which
    is
    a
    four-wheel-drive
    one-ton
    Ford.
    We
    couldn’t
    9
    even
    get
    up
    the
    hill
    with
    that
    truck
    it
    had
    rained
    so
    10
    much
    and
    it
    was
    just
    so
    muddy.
    It
    was
    ungodly
    muddy.
    11
    I
    forget
    who
    made
    the
    comment,
    one
    of
    his
    laborers
    or
    12
    someone
    said
    there
    was
    still
    garbage,
    a
    little
    garbage
    13
    left
    from
    that
    morning’s
    work.
    And
    I
    said,
    well
    --
    14
    should
    we
    go
    up
    and
    get
    it?
    And
    I
    said,
    well,
    even
    if
    15
    we
    go
    up
    and
    get
    it,
    we
    can’t
    get
    that
    truck
    down
    the
    16
    hill
    that
    night,
    because
    it’s
    a
    straight
    truck,
    17
    roll-off
    truck.
    18
    Q.
    Yeah.
    What’s
    that
    truck?
    19
    A.
    That’s
    in
    one
    of
    these
    pictures.
    It’s
    a
    20
    truck
    you
    see
    in
    the
    picture.
    So
    I
    made
    the
    decision,
    21
    no one else,
    to leave the
    --
    leave
    the
    spoils
    where
    22
    they were.
    Even
    if
    we got them loaded up,
    we couldn’t
    23
    get the truck down
    the hill.
    I wasn’t willing
    to
    24
    drive
    it
    down
    the
    hill
    and
    I
    wasn’t
    expecting
    anybody

    1
    else
    to.
    Because
    it
    had
    rained
    so
    hard,
    I
    didn’t
    see
    2
    any harm
    in
    it.
    So we left the spoils
    there.
    The
    3
    next
    morning
    we
    got
    inspected,
    and
    we
    got
    written
    up

    for

    garbage
    from

    No.
    13
    Q.
    Would
    it
    be common for equipment

    No.
    16

    Is
    it
    possible
    that

    it’s possible you could take

    from

    area,
    fuel
    it
    up.
    Usually
    the
    last
    thing
    they

    fuel
    it

    before
    they

    Q.
    Yeah.
    Tell me

    is

    it

    4
    Q.
    Let’s
    move
    on
    to
    another
    area.
    Do
    you
    know
    5
    what
    a Sig Mod
    is?
    6
    A.
    Yes.
    7
    Q.
    Has
    a

    been

    this

    9
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    has.
    10
    Q.
    When
    was
    that?
    11
    A.
    The
    initial
    one
    I
    believe
    was
    in
    1994,
    if
    I’m
    12
    not
    mistaken.
    13
    Q.
    What
    happened
    to
    that
    submittal?
    14
    A.
    It
    was
    denied.
    15
    Q.
    Was
    any
    basis
    given
    for
    that
    denial?
    16
    A.
    There
    were
    nine
    denial
    points
    that
    I
    recall
    17
    Q.
    How
    were
    those
    denial
    points
    conveyed
    to
    you
    18
    through
    Watts?

    letter
    from

    20
    Q.
    What did Watts
    do
    in response to that denial
    21
    letter?
    22
    A.
    We discussed
    the denial points with the
    23
    engineering
    firm
    that put the Sig Mod together,
    24
    CH2M-Hill,
    and decided to get a meeting with

    Did you in
    fact have
    a meeting?
    3

    Yes,
    we
    did.
    4

    When
    was
    that?
    S
    A.
    The
    date
    -
    -
    it
    was
    right
    after
    the
    meeting
    6
    with
    Mr.
    Davis
    and
    that
    down
    here
    last
    summer
    I
    7
    believe,
    the
    day
    after.
    8
    Q.
    What’s
    been
    referred
    to
    as
    the
    31(d)
    meeting?
    9
    A.
    Yes,
    that’s correct.
    10
    Q.
    Who
    attended
    that
    meeting?
    11
    A.
    From
    ESG
    Watts
    Tom
    Jones
    and
    myself,
    12
    CI-12M-Hi11 Steve Keith,
    who
    is the lead engineer,
    their
    13

    I
    believe.

    And
    then
    from
    the

    Krishna
    16
    was
    there,
    Joyce
    Munie
    I
    believe
    was
    there,
    their
    17
    hydrogeologist
    Gwenyth
    Thompson
    was
    there.
    That’s
    who
    18
    I
    recall.
    I
    think
    there
    were
    a
    couple
    others.
    I
    19
    don’t
    remember
    who
    all
    else
    was
    there
    at
    the
    time.
    20
    Q.
    What
    was discussed
    at that meeting?
    21
    A.
    We discussed
    the nine points one at
    a
    time
    22
    and expressed our concern that we felt
    some
    of them
    23
    were kind
    of petty,
    and actually,
    we solved three or
    24
    four
    of them within
    30 minutes.
    And then Jewel
    and

    ILLINOIS
    217-525-6167

    Gwenyth
    started
    discussing
    technical
    matters
    of
    2
    groundwater monitoring
    models and things like
    that,
    3
    something
    I’m
    not
    that
    familiar
    with.
    We
    just
    went
    4
    through
    the
    denial
    points
    to
    see
    how
    we
    could
    adjust
    5
    or
    fix
    them
    to
    meet
    the
    Agency’s
    requirements.
    6
    Q.
    Was
    a
    resubmittal
    discussed?
    7
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    was.
    8
    Q.
    And
    what
    was
    said
    about
    that?
    9
    A.
    There was discussion
    on how we could resubmit
    10
    in
    order
    to
    get
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    in
    in
    a
    more
    expeditious
    11
    manner
    and
    a
    more
    cost
    savings
    manner
    not
    only
    to
    us
    12
    but
    to
    the
    Illinois
    EPA
    so
    they
    wouldn’t
    have
    to
    13
    review
    an
    entire
    Sig
    Mod
    again,
    let’s
    just
    talk
    about
    14
    the
    main
    nine
    points
    of
    denial,
    let’s
    address
    those
    15
    and
    get
    on
    with
    everybody’s
    business.
    16
    Q.
    Is
    it
    --
    was
    it your understanding
    that you
    17
    reached
    an
    agreement
    with
    respect
    to
    that
    resubmittal?
    18
    A.
    Yes,
    there
    was.
    19
    Q.
    And
    what
    was
    that
    agreement?
    20
    A.
    I left with the impression
    that
    the nine
    21
    points
    of denial would be resubmitted to the Illinois
    22
    EPA as long as there was
    a certification
    cover letter
    23
    on
    the
    front
    stating
    that
    nothing
    else
    in
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    24
    was changed.

    Now,
    did
    not
    tal
    of
    a
    Correct.
    When
    was
    that?
    The
    first
    day
    of
    the
    hearings
    like
    a
    month

    Q.
    A.
    Q.
    A.
    it
    did.
    Q.
    did you subsequently
    find
    out that
    the
    Agency
    consider
    that
    resubmittal
    a
    formal
    submit
    Sig
    Mod?
    A.
    Q.
    A.
    ago,
    this
    hearing.
    I
    think
    it
    was
    a
    Wednesday,
    I
    believe.
    Q.
    And what did you do in response to that?
    A.
    I
    called
    Joyce
    Munie
    immediately.
    Q.
    And what did she say?
    A.
    She
    didn’t
    say
    anything.
    I
    left
    a
    message
    and
    she
    did
    not
    return
    my
    phone
    call.
    Q.
    What
    has Watts
    done since
    that
    time?
    A.
    Since
    that
    time,
    as
    you
    know,
    the
    last
    hearing
    that
    we
    had
    in
    this
    case
    we
    decided
    that
    a
    formal
    full-blown
    resubmittal
    of
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    would
    have
    to
    be
    done
    and
    we
    did
    that.
    Q.
    When was that done?
    Do you know?
    A.
    I
    think
    it
    was
    sent
    in
    a
    couple,
    three,
    four

    684
    1
    weeks
    ago,
    something
    like
    that.
    2
    Q.
    Does
    that
    --
    did
    that
    formal
    resubmittal
    3
    contain the documentation
    that was previously
    4
    submitted
    to
    the
    Agency
    --
    5
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    did.
    6
    Q.
    --
    as the resubmittal?
    7
    A.
    As
    far
    as
    I
    know
    it
    did,
    yes.
    8
    Q.
    Let me show you what
    I’ve marked
    --
    what’s
    9
    been marked
    as People’s
    Exhibit
    24.
    Can you just
    10
    identify
    that
    for
    me?
    11
    A.
    It’s
    an
    Illinois
    Environmental
    Protection
    12
    Agency Air Pollution
    Odor Log prepared by Jerry
    13
    Martens.
    14
    Q.
    Have
    you
    ever
    seen
    that
    before?
    15
    A.
    No,
    I
    have
    not.
    16
    Q.
    Well,
    is
    today
    the
    first
    time
    you’ve
    seen
    it?
    17
    A.
    No,
    I
    saw
    it yesterday.
    18
    Q.
    If
    this
    document
    were
    sent
    to
    the
    landfill,
    19
    would
    it
    have
    come
    to
    you?
    20
    A.
    I
    don’t
    know.
    Depending
    on
    who
    sends
    it.
    21
    think
    Shirley
    would
    have
    opened
    this,
    seen
    this
    and
    22
    given
    it
    to me definitely.
    I was one person that was
    23
    there
    at that
    time.

    685
    1
    Q.
    Who’s
    Shirley?
    2
    A.
    My secretary.
    When she opens
    the mail,
    if
    3
    she saw something
    from the Illinois
    EPA,
    she would
    4
    have
    definitely
    put
    it
    on
    my
    desk.
    5
    Q.
    Switch
    gears
    again.
    Let
    me
    show
    you
    what
    6
    I’ve
    marked
    as
    Respondent’s
    Exhibit
    7.
    Can
    you
    7
    identify
    that
    for
    me?
    8
    A.
    This
    is
    an
    analysis
    from
    off-site
    groundwater
    9
    monitoring
    --
    groundwater
    wells
    that
    we
    had
    installed
    10
    in
    summer
    of
    ‘95,
    I
    believe.
    11
    Q.
    What
    is
    the
    Hanson
    field?
    12
    A.
    The Hanson
    field
    is property directly east
    of
    13
    what
    we
    consider
    the
    closed
    area
    of
    the
    landfill.
    14
    guess
    you
    would
    call
    it
    east
    central
    of
    the
    landfill
    15
    on
    Chuck
    Hanson’s
    property,
    our
    neighbor.
    16
    Q.
    What’s
    the
    designation
    --
    one
    of
    these
    pages,
    17
    the
    first
    page
    says
    Hanson
    Field
    S.
    18
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    19
    Q.
    And
    the
    second
    page
    is
    Hanson
    Field
    D.
    20
    A.
    One’s
    a shallow well designated by
    5,
    deep
    21
    designated
    for
    deep.
    The
    two
    wells,
    it’s
    a
    nested
    22
    area
    right
    there.
    23
    Q.
    Now,
    who
    is
    Beling
    Consultants?
    24
    A.
    Beling Consultants
    is the firm that
    we have
    CAPITOL

    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525-6167

    686
    1
    under
    contract
    to
    sample
    and
    analyze
    almost
    all
    of
    our
    2
    groundwater
    monitoring,
    NPDES
    --
    analytical
    --
    they’re
    3
    an analytical
    lab.
    As far
    as our groundwater
    4
    monitoring,
    they
    do
    all
    our
    sampling.
    5
    Q.
    How
    long
    have
    you
    used
    them?
    6
    A.
    I’ve
    used
    them
    for
    years.
    I
    believe
    they’ve
    7
    been
    doing
    wells
    for
    us
    for
    maybe
    five
    or
    six
    years.
    8
    Q.
    Now,
    is
    it Beling that took these samples?
    9
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    was.
    10
    Q.
    Is
    it
    Beling
    that
    analyzed
    these
    samples?
    11
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    was.
    12
    Q.
    Was this record made near
    the time when
    the
    13
    sampling
    occurred?
    14
    A.
    As
    far
    as
    I’m
    concerned,
    yeah.
    Yeah,
    I’m
    15
    sure
    it
    was.
    16
    Q.
    Is
    it
    the
    regular
    practice
    of
    Watts
    to
    have
    17
    such
    records
    made?
    18
    A.
    Yes.
    19
    Q.
    Is
    this
    record
    kept
    in
    the
    course
    of
    Watts’
    20
    regular
    business
    activity?
    21
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    22
    MR.

    5
    Q.
    Does
    the
    landfill
    have
    all
    of
    its
    records,
    6
    whether
    they
    be
    original

    original
    permit
    7
    applications,
    going
    back
    to
    the
    1980s?
    8
    A.
    No.
    There
    was
    a
    fire
    where
    we
    lost
    95
    9
    percent
    of our original
    records.
    I believe the fire
    10
    was
    in
    ‘86
    or
    ‘87,
    I
    don’t
    recall.
    11
    Q.
    Do
    you

    was
    the

    with
    any
    greater
    12
    specificity,
    do you know
    if the fire was before or
    13
    after
    July
    10,
    1986?
    14
    A.
    I
    believe
    it
    was
    after.
    15
    MR. NORTHRUP:
    I don’t
    have any further
    16
    questions.

    Q.
    Mr.

    to
    try
    to
    go
    back
    through
    your
    20
    testimony and keep things
    in the best order
    I
    can.
    21
    A.
    Okay.
    22
    Q.
    Starting off with this CHMM certification
    you
    23
    said you had?
    24
    A.
    Yes,
    uh-huh.

    689
    1
    Q.
    How
    does
    that
    certification
    assist
    you
    in
    2
    your job duties
    for ESG Watts
    at the Taylor Ridge
    3
    facility?
    4
    A.
    Because
    I do special
    waste permits for our
    5
    landfills,
    things
    like
    that.
    I
    review
    TCLP
    analysis
    6
    for
    that,
    things
    like
    that.
    It
    helps
    me
    in
    that
    to
    7
    understand
    the
    chemistry
    behind
    it
    and
    how
    to
    read
    8
    analytical,
    things
    like
    that.
    It
    makes
    me
    aware
    of
    9
    what
    needs
    to
    be
    done
    as
    far
    as
    like
    material
    safety
    10
    data
    sheets.
    And
    we
    do
    a
    lot
    of
    transportation.
    We
    11
    used
    to
    do
    a
    lot
    of
    hazardous
    materials
    transportation
    12
    years
    ago.
    That’s
    what
    is the reason
    for
    it,
    I guess.
    13
    It was more
    for me than
    it was the company.
    14
    Q.
    And
    does
    the
    Taylor
    Ridge
    Landfill
    currently
    15
    accept
    any
    special
    wastes?
    16
    A.
    Yes,
    we
    do.
    17
    Q.
    What
    are
    those?
    18
    A.
    We
    have
    a
    variety
    of
    generics
    right
    now,
    and
    19
    we
    have
    some
    stand-alone
    company
    permits.
    In
    other
    20
    words,
    generator
    specific permits.

    First
    of

    isn’t

    5
    A.
    No.
    The
    one
    that’s
    there
    today?
    That’s
    what
    6
    you’re
    referring

    correct?

    Q.
    Yes.
    8
    A.
    No.
    It’s
    not.
    9
    Q.
    Where
    specifically
    is
    this
    retention
    pond
    10
    located?
    11
    A.
    The
    northwest
    corner
    on
    the
    Whitley
    property.
    12
    Q.
    Well,
    isn’t
    it
    true
    that
    a
    portion
    of
    this
    13
    retention
    pond
    is
    located
    on
    the
    landfill
    property?
    14
    A.
    Today?
    15
    Q.
    Yes.
    16
    A.
    Not
    that
    I’m
    aware
    of,
    no.
    17
    Q.
    In
    1995
    before
    you
    dredged
    it,
    wasn’t
    a
    18
    portion
    of
    it
    located
    on
    the
    landfill
    property?
    19
    A.
    There
    wasn’t
    really
    any
    water
    there
    when
    we
    20
    dredged
    it.
    It
    was
    dry.
    21
    Q.
    But
    a portion of the area
    that you have
    22
    referred
    to
    as the retention
    pond
    --
    23
    A.
    Yes,
    it was.

    1
    employed
    by
    the

    since
    1983?
    2
    A.
    0th-huh.
    3
    Q.
    Correct?
    4
    A.
    November
    I believe,
    yes.
    5
    Q.
    The
    first
    instance
    you
    were
    involved
    in
    the
    6
    dredging
    of
    this
    retention
    pond
    was
    in
    1995,
    correct?
    7
    A.
    That
    I
    was
    directly
    related
    to
    it,
    yes.
    I
    8
    was
    aware
    of
    dredging
    prior
    to
    that.
    9
    Q.
    I
    think
    you
    said
    it
    had
    been
    dredged
    eight
    to
    10
    ten
    times
    prior
    to
    that?
    11
    A.
    Something
    like
    that
    12
    Q.
    And
    I think your testimony was that
    13
    immediately
    upon
    learning
    of
    the
    problem
    with
    this
    14
    retention
    pond,
    the
    silt
    buildup,
    you
    responded.
    Was
    15
    that
    correct?
    16
    A.
    When
    it
    was
    brought
    to
    my
    personal
    attention,
    17
    yes.
    18
    Q.
    And
    that
    was
    in
    1995?
    19
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    was.
    I
    had
    --
    let
    me
    --
    can
    I
    20
    elaborate
    on
    that?
    21
    Q.
    Well,
    let
    me
    ask
    you
    another
    question,
    okay?
    22
    A.
    Sure.
    23
    Q.
    So prior
    to
    1995 you were
    not involved
    at all
    24
    with
    the
    problems
    with
    this
    retention
    pond?

    A.
    I
    was
    aware
    of
    it.
    2
    Q.
    Now,
    you indicated
    that
    40
    to
    60
    truckloads
    3
    of
    silt
    --
    4

    Yes,
    ma’am.

    Q.
    --
    were
    removed
    from
    that
    retention
    pond?
    6
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    7
    Q.
    That’s
    an
    awful
    lot
    of
    silt,
    don’t
    you
    think?
    8
    A.
    That’s
    a
    lot
    of
    silt,
    yes,
    ma’am.
    We
    9
    overexcavated
    not
    only
    where
    that
    retention
    pond
    was,
    10
    we
    brought
    it
    all
    the
    way
    back
    to
    probably
    where
    the
    11
    liner
    --
    we probably came pretty
    close
    to the liner,
    I
    12
    would anticipate,
    judging from the pictures.
    13
    Q.
    I’m
    sorry,
    what
    size
    were
    the
    trucks
    that
    you
    14
    were
    using?
    15
    A.
    They
    are
    35
    ton
    Terex
    haul
    trucks.
    16
    Q.
    And
    these
    were
    40
    to
    60
    full
    loads
    in
    these
    17
    trucks?
    18
    A.
    No,
    they’re
    not
    full
    at
    all.
    The
    material
    19
    gets
    soupy.
    You
    can
    only
    haul
    maybe
    ten
    yards.
    20
    Because when you went up the hill,
    you’d
    lose
    it out
    21
    the back,
    so
    we couldn’t haul
    that much
    of
    it.
    22
    Q.
    The silt was not dry when you moved
    it from
    23
    the pond?
    24
    A.
    The top half was.

    2
    Q.
    It
    was
    a
    storm
    water
    that
    had
    accumulated
    in

    the

    A.
    I
    assume
    so.
    5
    Q.
    Is
    it
    your

    wouldn’t
    you
    agree
    that

    water
    that
    was
    located
    in

    had
    come
    from
    runoff
    from
    the

    site?
    8
    A.
    Not
    totally,
    no.

    To
    a
    large
    extent?
    10
    A.
    Large
    being

    give
    me
    a
    percentage.
    11
    Q.
    I
    can’t
    give
    you
    a
    percentage.
    12
    A.
    It’s hard for me
    to give you an answer.
    I
    13
    don’t
    know.
    I
    would
    say
    some.
    Yeah.
    Well,
    obviously
    14
    a
    lot
    of
    it
    was.
    15
    Q.
    Don’t
    you
    agree,
    Steve,
    that
    there
    are
    or
    16
    were
    in
    1995
    erosional
    problems
    at
    the
    landfill?
    17
    A.
    Where
    at?
    18
    Q.
    In the northwest
    corner,
    northeast
    corner?
    19
    A.
    Yeah,
    there
    were
    some
    erosion
    problems,
    20
    things like
    that because
    the seed hadn’t
    taken.
    Some
    21
    seed had;
    some
    seed didn’t.
    There were
    some problems
    22
    there.

    In fact,
    that was one of the reasons

    to

    was
    the
    silt
    taken
    when
    it
    was
    removed?
    7
    A.
    From
    what
    I
    understand,
    they
    threw
    it
    behind
    8
    them
    up
    on
    the
    side
    of

    That
    would
    be

    slope?
    10
    A.
    Yes,
    ma’am.
    11
    Q.
    And
    what
    happened
    to
    that
    silt
    that
    was
    put
    12
    on
    the

    slope

    Didn’t
    it
    just
    13
    run
    right
    back
    down
    into
    the

    pond?
    14

    I
    assume
    that’s
    exactly
    what
    it
    did,
    yes.

    I
    think
    in

    testimony
    that’s
    indicated,
    and then
    in 1995
    after the

    installed
    a

    correct?
    Correct.
    Prior

    was

    the

    then

    time
    was
    in

    It
    may
    have
    been
    if
    there
    was

    in

    A.
    I
    was
    down
    --
    I
    didn’t
    consider
    it
    a
    retention
    pond
    back
    then.
    I
    --
    I
    guess
    it
    was
    a
    retention
    pond
    back
    then
    after
    he
    put
    the

    up,
    you
    could
    call
    it
    that,
    yeah.
    And
    I
    did
    see
    water
    on
    both
    sides
    of

    Q.
    Was
    it

    between

    8
    A.
    I
    had
    some
    question
    at
    that
    time
    about
    it.
    9
    couldn’t
    relate

    couldn’t
    really

    one
    from
    the
    other
    where
    11
    the
    actual
    line
    was.
    I
    mean
    you
    could
    make
    some
    12
    assumptions
    based on some
    of the pictures
    I’ve seen,

    at the time those photographs
    were taken from

    to

    A.
    I was somewhere

    Well,
    somewhere
    on

    It’s
    a

    8
    A.
    Yeah.
    I was involved with the drilling
    9
    operations.
    It was
    at night.
    It was after my regular
    10
    hours.
    That’s usually when
    I went
    up there.
    11
    Q.
    What
    are
    your
    regular
    hours?
    12
    A.
    It depends
    on who you talk
    to.
    I
    guess
    8
    to
    13
    5,
    you know,
    for the sake
    of the argument,
    yeah.
    14
    Q.
    So on this night
    you were
    there after your

    Many nights
    I was after my regular

    17
    yes.

    Were you at that location where
    the well was
    3
    being
    drilled
    or were you somewhere else
    on the

    property?
    5
    A.
    I could have been up on top of the hill
    6
    somewhere
    or somewhere
    else.
    I
    couldn’t
    tell you
    if
    I
    7
    was there
    at that exact time.
    No,
    I couldn’t
    tell
    8
    you.

    Were you present during the installation

    Q.
    --
    that night?
    15
    A.
    Yes.
    I don’t even think
    that well
    --
    well,
    16
    yeah,
    I
    was,
    I was there,
    uh-huh.
    17
    Q.
    Steve,
    did you personally observe the taking
    18
    down
    of the drill rig and the moving of the drill
    rig?
    19
    A.
    No,
    I did not
    20
    Q.
    Do you know what
    time
    the drilling was
    21
    finished on that night?
    22
    A.
    I
    think they started
    --
    I don’t
    recall
    if
    23
    they started another
    hole.
    I think
    they set up on
    24
    another
    hole after
    that one that night.

    probably around
    8:30,
    quarter till
    9 that
    night,
    maybe
    2
    9:00.
    3
    Q.
    Do you know what
    time they started taking
    4
    down the drill
    rig at
    this
    location shown
    in the
    5
    photograph?
    6
    A.
    No.
    I don’t.
    I assume
    it was between
    6:55
    7
    and 7:05
    based on these pictures.
    8
    Q.
    How late did you stay
    at the site
    that night?
    9
    A.
    Till dark.
    10
    Q.
    Which was what
    time?
    11
    A.
    8:30,
    9:00
    I’d say,
    something
    like
    that.
    12
    Q.
    Did you personally
    observe
    the disposal
    of
    13
    the waste
    from the truck and roll-off box into
    the
    14
    day’s
    active area
    --
    15
    A.
    Yes,
    I did.
    16
    Q.
    --
    on that night?
    17
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    If
    I can explain,
    we left
    the 400
    18
    with
    the ADC,
    alternate
    daily
    cover,
    hooked up to our
    19
    400.
    20
    Q.
    Which
    is your bulldozer
    or
    --
    21
    A.
    No,
    it’s
    a track hoe excavator.
    And you use
    22
    that
    to pull
    the tarp over.
    There were many nights
    23
    that
    the last thing we did as we came down the hill
    24
    was bring the spoils.
    If you took pictures
    at
    8:00,

    701
    1
    there would
    still
    be spoils many nights.
    If you took
    2
    a picture
    at 9:00
    at night,
    if you could,
    there
    3
    wouldn’t
    be.
    I mean we
    --
    many
    times
    I fired
    the
    4
    machine
    up,
    pulled the ADC back.
    We left
    a hole in
    5
    the garbage.
    We’d back the truck
    in,
    drop
    it, put the
    6
    ADC back
    over the top.
    We did that many times,
    and
    it
    7
    was dark many
    times when
    we did
    it.
    8
    Q.
    Okay.
    Now let me see
    if
    I understand
    this.
    9
    During the construction
    of these gas extraction
    10
    wells
    --
    11
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    12
    Q.
    --
    what we’ve
    been referring
    to
    as spoils,
    13
    the refuse
    that’s been pulled up
    --
    14
    A.
    Refuse,
    dirt,
    whatever
    comes
    out
    of the hole.
    15
    Q.
    Okay,
    the refuse
    comes up and then
    it’s
    16
    deposited
    in either
    a truck or
    it’s first
    in a truck
    17
    and then
    the truck
    takes
    it
    to
    a roll-off box?
    18
    A.
    No,
    no,
    it’s
    --
    the bucket
    comes out and the
    19
    spoils are,
    I guess,
    wedged you would call
    it,
    and
    20
    there’s
    two flaps on the bucket.
    As you hit the side
    21
    of
    the bucket and drop
    down on
    it,
    it pushes
    it
    to
    22
    help relieve
    it
    out.
    It
    falls
    right next
    to the
    23
    drilling
    rig.
    24
    Q.
    Just on the ground?

    A.
    Right on the ground,
    correct.
    There’s
    no way
    2
    I
    --
    it would
    be great
    if you could put
    it right
    into
    3
    a
    box.
    You can’t.
    Then there was
    a JCB Load All,
    4
    it’s
    a called,
    a four-wheel-drive
    vehicle
    that drags
    S
    it
    back,
    scoops
    it
    up and puts
    it
    into
    a roll-off
    box.
    6
    Usually
    they would
    fill the box and move the rest
    of
    7
    it out
    of
    the way.
    And because
    they only had
    --
    there
    8
    was
    a lot of
    times
    I was doing
    this because they had a
    9
    laborer that didn’t
    always
    show up,
    so
    I would go up
    10
    and help them out.
    We’d get
    it out
    in one big shot.
    11
    It was a one-man job usually.
    And the other guy was
    12
    preparing wells
    for installation.
    So
    if
    I saw the
    13
    truck
    full and
    I saw
    a pile of
    spoils,
    I’d just
    jump
    14
    in the truck and go drop
    it,
    come back
    up,
    load
    the
    15
    roll-off box back
    up,
    take
    it back down.
    I’d just
    go
    16
    ahead
    and do it.
    17
    Q.
    During the course
    of a day when they were
    18
    constructing
    these gas extraction wells,
    you would
    19
    wait until
    the roll-off
    box was full?

    It would depend.
    If
    it was a busy time
    of
    2
    the day,
    we would
    leave
    it until
    it slowed
    down.
    3
    These
    guys were very cooperative
    in working
    in between
    4
    our busy schedules.
    That’s why
    a
    lot of times
    a lot
    5
    of the waste
    from that was deposited
    at night
    in the

    10
    Q.
    And
    how
    did
    leaving
    the

    of

    impact
    the
    safety
    of
    your

    14
    A.
    When
    you
    get
    to
    the
    bottom
    of
    that
    hole,
    15
    okay,
    you
    got
    a
    90-foot
    hole
    that
    has
    --
    16
    Q.
    What
    hole
    are
    you
    talking
    about?
    17
    A.
    A
    methane
    --
    a gas extraction
    hole.
    I would
    18
    much
    rather
    see
    the
    well
    put
    in,
    backfilled
    up
    to
    19
    grade
    than
    to
    leave
    the
    hole
    open
    while
    we’re
    dumping
    20
    garbage
    in the face
    of
    the fill.
    Any driller
    in the
    21
    country will
    tell you the first
    thing they do once
    22
    they hit the bottom of that well
    is
    to install
    that
    23
    well
    if possible
    or cover
    it
    up.
    If someone
    falls

    there’s

    immediately,
    yeah,
    if
    that’s
    the
    way
    the
    permit
    reads,
    2
    that’s
    fine.
    I don’t
    have
    a problem with that.
    But
    3
    the people
    that write
    those don’t drill wells,
    either,
    4
    that
    I’m aware
    of.
    And neither did
    I.
    At the time
    5
    the
    permit
    was
    issued,
    I
    was
    not
    aware
    of
    how
    wells
    6
    were
    put
    in.
    After
    I
    had
    observed
    how
    wells
    were
    put
    7
    in,
    there
    are
    things
    that
    are
    common
    sense
    that
    8
    sometimes
    don’t
    read
    common
    sense.
    And
    to
    me,
    if
    I
    9
    had
    to
    pay
    a
    fine
    daily
    to
    do
    the
    way
    I
    did
    it,
    I’d
    10
    pay
    it.
    No
    problem.
    11
    Q.
    I
    think
    you
    indicated
    in
    response
    to
    one
    of
    12
    my prior questions
    that you were
    trying to get
    in as
    13
    many wells
    as you could each
    day.
    14
    A.
    Yeah.
    15
    Q.
    What were
    the urgency there?
    Why did you
    16
    need
    to
    do
    that?
    17
    A.
    You
    get
    paid
    by
    the
    foot.
    18
    Q.
    I’m
    sorry?
    19
    A.
    You
    get
    paid
    by
    the
    foot.
    20
    Q.
    Who was paying you for that?
    21
    A.
    The drillers get paid by the foot.
    The more,
    22
    the
    faster,
    the more money.
    That’s
    one.
    For the
    23
    drillers.

    during

    or

    6
    of

    wouldn’t
    you
    agree
    that
    there
    were
    more
    7
    odors
    generated
    because
    there
    was
    exposed
    refuse
    being

    9

    More
    odors
    from

    than
    the
    exposed
    10
    refuse,
    yes,
    sure.
    11
    Q.
    And
    you
    personally
    observed

    smelled

    12
    of these
    odors yourself?
    13

    Stood
    over

    yes.
    14

    How
    bad
    were
    the
    odors
    coming

    We

    17
    Q.
    Can
    you

    it
    smelled
    like?
    18
    A.
    A
    stench,
    stinky
    smell.
    It
    wasn’t
    a
    gasoline
    19
    smell.
    It
    wasn’t
    a
    solvent
    smell.
    I
    guess
    somewhat
    20
    maybe
    of
    natural
    gas
    only
    without

    A.
    No,
    I
    wouldn’t
    say
    it
    was
    a

    smell,
    no.

    say
    the

    that
    you
    had

    to this time
    were similar

    not.

    wouldn’t

    2
    reason

    three

    I
    don’t
    think
    they
    were
    ever
    operated
    after
    7
    11:00
    at
    night.
    8
    Q.
    But
    you
    were
    not
    personally
    there?
    9
    A.
    No.
    I’m
    talking
    --
    know
    the
    difference
    10
    between
    servicing
    and
    operating.
    Operating
    means
    11
    you’re
    using
    it
    for
    its
    intended
    purpose.
    Not
    that
    12
    I’m ever aware of.
    It’s too dangerous.
    13
    Q.
    Now,
    regarding
    this
    --
    the
    meeting
    with
    the
    14
    Agency
    in
    I
    believe
    it’s
    August
    of
    1995,
    does
    that
    15
    sound
    correct
    to you?
    16
    A.
    Something
    like
    that,
    sure.
    17
    Q.
    The
    original
    Sig
    Mod
    submittal
    was
    denied
    in
    18
    February
    of
    1995?
    19
    A.
    Okay.
    20
    Q.
    Does
    that
    --
    21
    A.
    Okay.
    22
    Q.
    Okay?
    23
    A.
    Sure.
    24
    Q.
    And
    you
    had
    the
    meeting
    then
    in
    August

    Mr.
    und
    me e
    one
    Yes
    A.
    tlh-huh.
    Are
    you
    aware
    that
    the
    complaint
    that
    we’re
    today
    was
    then
    filed
    in
    November
    of
    1995?
    Yeah,
    it
    was
    after
    our
    39
    --
    our
    meeting
    with
    The
    complaint
    was
    filed,
    from
    what
    I
    a
    couple
    months
    after
    that
    meeting,
    yes.
    And
    it
    was
    your
    understanding
    that
    the
    with
    the
    Attorney
    General’s
    office
    took
    place
    prior
    to
    your
    meeting
    with
    the
    Agency?
    And
    then
    the
    resubmittal
    of
    this
    Sig
    Mod
    was
    until
    October
    18
    of
    1996?
    I
    believe
    that’s
    correct.
    Okay.
    Prior
    to
    that
    resubmittal
    did
    anyone
    Watts
    call
    the
    Agency
    to
    let
    them
    know
    that
    on
    the
    way
    and
    that
    you
    were
    submitting
    an
    submittal
    as
    opposed
    to
    a
    formal
    permit
    reapplication?
    A.
    No.
    That
    was
    discussed
    at
    believe
    Steve
    Keith
    and
    maybe
    Jewel
    conversations
    with
    the
    Illinois
    EPA.
    didn’t
    have
    any
    is
    because
    it
    was
    an
    wasn’t
    knowledgeable
    in,
    and
    at
    that
    that
    meeting.
    I
    from
    CH2M-J4ill
    had
    The
    reason
    I
    area
    of
    --
    I
    time
    I
    was
    the

    713
    1
    only
    one
    at
    ESG
    that
    was
    kind
    of
    looking
    after
    this,
    2
    and
    I
    let Steve
    --
    I
    left
    it
    up
    to
    Steve
    Keith
    to
    make
    3
    any communications
    he needed
    to make with the Agency
    4
    to
    set
    up
    --
    we actually wanted
    to set up another
    5
    meeting
    after
    that
    first
    one
    to
    submit
    that,
    you
    know,
    6
    like
    whenever
    we
    got
    it
    done.
    After
    he
    reviewed
    a
    lot
    7
    of the stuff,
    we found
    out that we needed to put
    in
    8
    like
    these
    Hanson
    wells,
    do
    a
    little
    bit
    more
    than
    9
    what
    we
    originally
    intended
    on
    doing.
    So,
    I
    believe
    10
    he
    had
    conversations
    with
    the
    Agency
    after
    that
    point.
    11
    What
    they
    talked
    about
    I
    don’t
    know.
    12
    Q.
    Now,
    after this meeting with the Agency
    in
    13
    August
    of
    1995,
    did
    you
    --
    was
    it
    your
    understanding
    14
    that
    you
    were
    on
    your
    way
    toward
    possibly
    working
    out
    15
    the problems with
    the Sig Mod Application?
    16
    A.
    Yeah.
    Definitely.
    17
    Q.
    Did
    Watts
    withdraw
    its
    permit
    appeal
    after
    18
    that
    meeting?
    19
    A.
    I
    don’t
    recall.
    I
    don’t
    know
    if
    he
    did
    or
    20
    not.
    21
    Q.
    Do you know
    if
    the permit appeal
    is still
    22
    pending with
    the Board today?
    23
    A.
    I think
    it still
    is.
    I don’t
    know.
    I
    24
    assume.

    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Ms.
    Symons-Jackson,
    2
    can
    I
    ask
    a question?
    3
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    Sure.
    4
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    This
    is
    really
    -~
    5
    it’s
    for
    the
    Board.
    There
    are
    several
    Watts
    permit
    6
    appeals
    pending.
    If
    you
    know
    which
    one
    it
    is,
    can
    you
    7
    give
    us
    the
    number?
    If
    you
    don’t,
    that’s
    okay.
    8
    Charlie,
    do
    you
    know?
    9
    MR. NORTHRUP:
    It’s 95-109
    or 110.
    One
    is
    10
    Taylor
    Ridge
    and
    one
    is
    Sangamon
    Valley.
    I’m
    not
    sure
    11
    which
    one
    --
    12
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    The
    Agency
    handles
    their
    13
    own
    permit
    appeals,
    so
    we
    wouldn’t
    know.
    14
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    That’s
    fine.
    I
    just
    15
    thought
    maybe
    if
    the
    Board
    wanted
    to
    look
    at
    that,
    we
    16
    could
    try
    and
    get
    that
    number
    in
    there
    for
    them.
    17
    I’m
    sorry
    to
    interrupt
    you.
    Go
    ahead.
    18
    Q.
    In
    your
    earlier
    testimony
    you
    talked
    about
    a
    19
    depression
    or
    a hole
    at the landfill
    that you recently
    20
    or
    at
    sometime
    received
    a
    permit
    for
    a
    clean
    fill?
    21
    A.
    Yeah,
    we call
    it the nonwaste disposal
    area,
    22
    correct
    23
    Q.
    This nonwaste
    disposal
    area was first
    noted
    24
    or do you recall when
    it was first constructed
    by the
    CAPITOL
    REPORTING
    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525
    -6167

    715
    1
    landfill?
    2
    A.
    It was noted sometime
    I think
    in
    ‘93 after
    3
    that October
    --
    it
    was
    an
    area
    identified
    by
    our
    EPA
    4
    inspector.
    5
    Q.
    And
    can
    you
    tell
    me
    where
    on
    the
    landfill
    6
    property
    this
    nondisposal
    --
    what
    is
    it
    you’ve
    called
    7
    it?
    8
    A.
    Nonwaste
    disposal
    area.
    9
    Q.
    Nonwaste
    disposal
    area
    is located?
    10
    A.
    It
    would
    be
    the
    northeast
    corner
    of
    the
    11
    landfill,
    geez,
    approximately
    250
    feet
    north
    of
    the
    12
    building,
    extending out
    I believe
    120
    feet
    from the
    13
    liner.
    It’s kind
    of
    in
    a
    jog,
    I guess.
    I
    could draw
    14
    you
    --
    if
    you
    have
    an
    inspection
    --
    you’ll
    see
    it
    on
    15
    an
    inspection
    report
    what
    we’re
    referring
    to.
    It’s
    16
    very
    well
    defined
    right
    now.
    17
    Q.
    Why don’t
    I get
    a map we can look
    at.
    18
    A.
    Yeah,
    that
    would
    be
    great.
    19
    Q.
    Is
    it
    located
    in
    the
    active
    area,
    what
    is
    20
    currently
    the
    active
    area
    of
    the
    landfill?
    21
    A.
    It
    is right
    now,
    yeah.
    22
    Q.
    I’ve got two maps
    here,
    one was previously
    23
    identified
    and
    I believe
    admitted
    as People’s Exhibit

    Q.
    And I’ve also
    got People’s

    I’ll
    3
    ask
    you
    to
    look
    at
    both
    of
    those.
    4
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    And
    I’ll
    state
    for
    the
    5
    record
    that
    Exhibit
    4
    was
    prepared,
    as
    indicated,
    by
    6
    CH2M-Hill,
    and
    at
    this
    time
    I
    would
    move
    to
    admit
    map
    7
    number
    4.
    8
    MR.
    NORTI-IRtJP:
    Where
    did
    it
    come
    from?
    Do
    9
    you
    know?
    10
    A.
    It
    says
    CH2M-Hill.
    11
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    Yeah.
    I
    think
    it
    was
    12
    with the original Sig Mod.
    13
    A.
    Might
    --
    with
    the
    Sig
    Mod,
    yeah.
    According
    14
    to
    that
    date.
    15
    MR.

    Yeah,
    okay,
    that’s
    fine.
    16
    HEARING
    OFFICER

    Then

    admitted.)
    19
    Q.
    Whichever
    map
    is
    best
    for
    you
    to
    identify
    20
    that location.
    21
    A.

    3.
    22
    0.
    Okay.

    just give

    --

    A.
    If
    you
    notice
    where
    it
    says
    temporary
    access
    2
    road.
    3
    Q.
    That’s
    up
    in
    the
    upper
    left-hand
    corner?
    4
    A.
    See,
    the
    liner
    --
    yeah,
    the
    liner
    comes
    like
    5
    this,
    okay,
    and
    then
    around
    the
    building
    like
    that.
    6
    It
    would
    be
    like
    going
    out
    like
    that
    right
    there.
    7
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Okay.
    For
    the
    record
    8
    you
    have
    to
    make
    it
    more
    clear.
    9
    A.
    Where
    the
    Xs
    are,
    okay?
    Want
    me
    to put Xs on
    10
    there?
    I
    guess
    approximately
    like
    that,
    right
    in
    11
    there.
    12
    Q.
    Now,
    is this nonwaste disposal
    area still
    13
    present
    at
    the
    landfill?
    14
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    15
    Q.
    And
    are
    you
    currently
    filling
    it
    with
    16
    anything?
    17
    A.
    With
    clean
    soil,
    yes.
    We’re
    bringing
    it
    up
    18
    as
    we
    bring
    the
    garbage
    up
    in
    that
    area,
    yes.
    19
    Q.

    I’m getting at.
    A.
    Okay,
    yeah,
    Q.
    Here’s
    what
    deposited
    around
    this
    it
    and
    the
    depression
    statement
    what
    happened?
    A.
    Well,
    it
    stayed
    at
    the
    level
    and
    the
    garbage
    came
    up
    around
    it,
    yes,
    correct.
    Q.
    The depth
    of the hole,
    although the bottom
    was
    not
    getting
    deeper,
    the
    depth
    was
    increasing?
    A.
    There
    you
    go,
    yeah.
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    You
    do
    understand.
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I
    knew
    what
    I
    was
    talking
    about.
    A.
    I
    was
    confused.
    Okay.
    Go
    ahead.
    Q.
    Now,
    when
    it rained,
    storm water would
    accumulate
    in
    the
    bottom
    of
    this
    depression?
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    would,
    yes.
    Q.
    Do you know how long storm water was allowed
    to
    be
    impounded
    in
    this
    depression?
    A.
    Year
    or
    two,
    I
    guess,
    maybe
    three.
    I
    don’t
    --
    since October
    9
    of
    ‘93
    I guess.
    Well,
    no,
    it was
    probably
    ‘94
    on
    because
    we
    were
    down
    that
    low
    then.

    do
    that.
    I’m
    getting
    at.
    As
    the
    waste
    was
    area,
    the landfill grew around
    got
    deeper.
    Is
    that

    1
    So
    I
    would
    say
    sometime
    ‘94,
    ‘95.
    2
    Q.
    At
    some
    point
    you
    pumped
    water
    out
    of
    this
    3
    hole,
    correct?
    4
    A.
    Yes.
    5
    Q.
    when
    was
    that?
    6
    A.
    I
    believe
    it
    was
    after
    we
    received
    that
    7
    permit.
    We
    may
    have
    pumped
    prior
    to
    that
    nonwaste
    8
    disposal
    area
    identification,
    but
    I
    don’t
    recall.
    9
    Q.
    The
    clean
    fill
    permit
    is
    that
    what
    you’re
    10
    referring
    to?
    11
    A.
    Yeah.
    12
    Q.
    If
    I
    indicated
    that
    it
    was
    approximately
    the
    13
    summer
    of
    1995,
    would
    that
    sound
    about
    right
    to
    you?
    14
    A.
    Yeah.
    Possibly.
    We
    really
    don’t
    pump
    that
    15
    much
    in December,
    so
    if we
    did,
    I would be
    --
    it’s
    16
    kind
    of
    unusual,
    but
    if
    we
    did,
    we
    did,
    yeah,
    we
    could
    17
    have.
    18
    Q.
    Were
    you
    present
    or
    did
    you
    have
    any
    19
    involvement
    in
    the
    pumping
    of
    the
    storm
    water
    from
    20
    this
    hole?
    21
    A.
    Sure
    did,
    uh-huh.
    22
    0.
    Were
    you
    the
    one
    overseeing
    the
    pumping
    of
    23
    the storm water from this hole?
    24

    720
    1
    when
    we
    were
    going
    to
    do
    a
    big
    pump,
    in
    other
    words,
    2
    after
    that
    permit
    came
    through,
    we
    contacted
    James
    3
    Kammueller.
    He
    came
    out.
    We
    sampled.
    We
    showed
    him
    4
    how
    we
    wanted
    to
    do
    it.
    He
    made
    --
    gave
    us
    a
    list
    of
    5
    things
    to
    do,
    I
    want
    like
    500
    more
    foot
    of
    hose
    all
    6
    the
    way,
    I
    want
    a
    sock.
    We
    did
    everything
    that
    he
    7
    asked
    --
    that
    he
    suggested
    that
    we
    do,
    and
    we
    did
    it.
    8
    Q.
    Where
    was
    the
    water
    pumped
    to?
    9
    A.
    The
    001
    discharge
    area.
    10
    Q.
    Prior
    to
    beginning
    the
    pumping
    did
    you
    take
    11
    any
    samples
    of
    the
    water
    in
    the
    hole?
    12
    A.
    I did not.
    I believe
    there were samples
    13
    taken
    by
    us
    and
    James
    Kammueller.
    I
    think
    he
    might
    14
    have
    taken
    some,
    too.
    I
    don’t
    recall
    if
    he
    did
    or
    15
    not.
    16
    0.
    Prior
    to
    beginning
    pumping
    did
    you
    calculate
    17
    how
    much
    water
    was
    in
    the
    hole?
    18
    A.
    Yeah,
    I
    think
    we
    did.
    I
    don’t
    recall
    what
    19
    the
    number
    was,
    but
    I
    think
    we
    kind
    of
    estimated
    it.
    20
    Q.
    Do
    you
    remember
    what
    the
    estimate
    was?
    21
    A.
    No,
    I don’t,
    no.
    22
    Q.
    How long did the pumping
    take?
    23
    A.
    On
    and
    off
    three
    or
    four
    months
    maybe.
    24
    Q.
    And did you conduct any sampling
    of the water

    1
    that
    was
    being
    discharged
    through
    001?
    2
    A.
    I
    did not personally,
    no.
    3
    Q.
    Did anyone
    from ESG Watts?
    4
    A.
    Yes.
    5
    Q.
    What
    were
    done
    with
    those
    sample
    results?
    6
    A.
    They
    were
    taken
    to

    labs
    and
    composited
    7
    and
    analyzed
    according
    to
    the
    permit.
    8
    Q.
    Now,
    Steve,
    isn’t
    it
    true
    that
    some
    of
    the
    9
    storm water
    in that hole had come
    into contact
    with
    10
    exposed
    refuse
    in
    the
    hole?
    11
    A.
    I
    don’t
    know
    if
    it
    did
    or
    not.
    All
    that
    area
    12
    was covered.
    Do you know what
    I mean?
    I mean
    there
    13
    wasn’t
    --
    there
    wasn’t garbage.
    No,
    if you look
    at
    14
    those
    pictures,
    you’ll
    see
    that
    there
    was
    dirt
    15
    completely covered
    all
    the way around
    in that nonwaste
    16
    --
    I
    believe
    I
    sent
    pictures
    with
    the
    permit
    17
    application
    on
    that
    so
    they
    could

    when
    we

    That’s
    all
    you
    need
    to
    read
    then.
    7
    So
    according
    to
    this
    narrative
    description
    there
    8
    was
    indeed
    refuse
    and
    standing
    water
    at
    the
    bottom
    of
    9
    that
    hole.
    Would
    you
    agree
    with
    that?
    10
    A.
    It
    says
    the
    northern
    rim.
    I
    would
    consider

    that
    the
    top
    side
    of
    it.
    12
    Q.
    Well,
    as
    you
    read
    on,
    it
    indicated
    he
    13
    descended
    into
    the
    hole
    and
    there
    was
    standing
    water
    14
    at
    the
    bottom
    of
    the
    hole?
    15
    A.
    Well,
    yeah,
    there
    was
    water
    in
    the
    bottom
    16
    with
    scattered
    litter,
    uh-huh.
    17
    Q.
    Were you aware
    of the litter
    in the standing
    18
    water
    at
    the
    bottom
    of
    that
    hole?
    19
    A.
    There was litter
    in there.
    Whenever
    it blew
    20
    hard,
    it was
    a natural attraction
    for
    it,
    and as
    it
    21
    went
    into
    the hole,
    it was taken out as soon
    as
    22
    possible,

    7
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    whether
    the

    ever
    covered
    8
    that
    exposed
    refuse?
    9
    A.
    I’m sure
    it
    did.
    10
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    when?
    11
    A.
    No.
    12
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    whether
    the
    landfill
    --
    if
    they
    13
    didn’t
    cover
    the
    refuse,
    would
    they
    have
    moved
    it
    and
    14
    put
    it
    into
    the
    active
    area
    of
    the
    landfill?
    15
    A.
    Moved
    refuse?
    You
    mean
    dig
    it
    up
    and
    move
    16
    it?
    17
    Q.
    No,
    just
    the
    exposed
    or
    the
    scattered
    litter
    18
    that
    --
    19
    A.
    Oh,
    we’d

    it
    up.
    The
    litter?
    20

    Uh-huh.
    21
    A.
    We’d

    up
    the
    litter,
    yes.
    22
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    whether
    that
    was
    done
    in
    this
    23
    instance?
    24

    Was
    it
    done

    Obviously,

    Something

    that
    10
    Q.
    Fairly
    large
    area?
    11
    A.
    Yeah.
    It’s
    bigger
    than
    what
    we
    had
    12
    originally
    thought.
    We
    --
    actually,
    when
    we
    decided
    13
    to identify
    that
    area,
    we expanded
    it
    by
    20 percent
    or
    14
    whatever
    just
    to
    cover.
    15
    Q.
    I
    think
    Jim
    Kammueller
    may
    have
    actually
    16
    referred
    to
    it
    as the size
    of a football
    field?
    17
    A.
    No.
    The
    nonwaste
    area?
    18
    Q.
    Uh-huh.
    19
    A.
    No.
    The
    size
    of
    a
    football
    field
    is
    300
    by
    20
    40
    yards
    --
    40
    feet
    or
    whatever.
    It’s
    smaller
    than
    21
    that.
    It’s
    120.
    It’s
    a
    square
    --
    rectangular.
    It’s
    22
    like
    120 by
    40,
    something
    like that,
    or
    50.
    It’s like
    23
    a
    little
    peninsula.
    Like

    That’s
    not
    going
    to
    7
    work
    for
    the
    record.
    8
    A.
    It’s
    like
    a
    rectangular
    cube
    is
    what
    it
    is,
    9
    and
    it’s
    identified
    specifically
    by
    coordinate
    points
    10
    and
    size.
    11
    0.
    What
    I’m
    really
    trying
    to
    find
    out,
    the
    rim,
    12
    the very top of this
    area
    --
    13
    A.
    Of
    the
    nonwaste
    area?
    14
    Q.
    Right.
    What
    is
    the
    diameter
    or
    the
    area
    of
    15
    that?
    16
    A.
    It’s the same
    as
    it
    is at the bottom
    as far
    17
    as
    I know.
    It’s
    120 by 40
    or
    50,
    whatever.
    Butts
    up
    18
    against
    the
    liner.
    19
    Q.
    So your testimony
    is that from the rim,
    from
    20
    the very top of this nonwaste
    disposal
    area down
    to
    21
    the bottom
    it’s just straight
    lines
    all
    the way down,
    22
    the sides
    are straight up and down?
    23
    A.
    It’s
    not
    straight
    lines.
    The
    one
    side
    kicks
    24
    back actually more
    than
    120
    feet because
    the liner
    is

    laid
    back.
    When
    you
    get
    to
    grade
    it
    will
    be
    actually
    2
    longer,
    but
    for
    the
    sake
    of
    the
    argument
    it
    goes
    from
    3
    the liner
    --
    the
    inside
    edge
    of
    the
    liner
    in
    like
    120
    4
    feet
    by
    40
    feet
    or
    whatever
    the
    dimensions
    are
    in
    the
    S
    permit.
    And
    basically,
    yeah,
    it
    comes
    straight
    up.
    6
    And
    we
    keep
    it
    about
    three
    or
    four
    feet
    above
    where
    7
    we’re
    landfilling
    all
    the
    time
    so
    the
    inspector
    can
    8
    identify
    it.
    9
    Q.
    Why
    was
    it
    the
    landfill
    decided
    to
    develop
    10
    this
    area?
    11
    A.
    We
    didn’t
    decide.
    It
    was
    an
    area
    that
    was
    in
    12
    question
    on
    whether
    we
    could
    put
    garbage
    in
    there
    or
    13
    not.
    The
    only
    way
    we
    were
    going
    to
    go
    in
    --
    we
    were
    14
    going
    to
    put
    garbage
    in
    there,
    anyway.
    There
    was
    some
    15
    question
    as
    to was garbage placed there prior
    to
    16
    October
    9
    of
    ‘93.
    A
    big
    discussion,
    the
    Agency
    said
    17
    no,
    yes.
    It
    was
    turning
    into
    a
    nightmare.
    We
    said
    18
    how
    can
    we
    make
    it
    so
    we
    can
    take
    care
    of
    the
    problem
    19
    and
    identify
    the
    area
    that
    wasn’t
    supposedly
    had
    20
    garbage
    in
    it October
    9 of
    ‘93.
    That’s exactly what
    21
    the permit
    that we applied
    for was to say this
    is the
    22
    area,
    and we don’t necessarily
    agree with
    it,
    but we
    23
    went with the Agency what
    they said
    in their
    24
    inspection
    reports
    as
    to
    the
    nonwaste
    area
    where
    you

    729
    1
    didn’t
    have
    garbage.
    We
    wanted
    to
    identify
    that
    area.
    2
    That’s
    the
    reason
    for
    that
    permit.
    Okay?
    3
    Q.
    Now,
    isn’t
    it
    reasonable
    to
    assume
    that
    the
    4
    storm
    water
    that’s
    at
    the
    bottom
    of
    this

    area
    is
    in

    up

    that

    comes

    from

    7
    A.
    Sure.
    8
    Q.
    Wouldn’t
    it
    also
    be
    reasonable
    to
    assume
    that
    9
    part
    of
    that
    water
    or
    material
    that
    accumulates
    at
    the
    10
    bottom
    of
    this
    nonwaste
    disposal
    area
    is
    attributable
    11
    to
    runoff?
    12
    A.
    Run-in,
    sure.
    13
    Q.
    From
    other
    portions
    of
    the
    landfill?
    14
    A.
    Run-in,
    sure.
    15
    Q.
    Isn’t
    it
    also
    reasonable
    to
    assume
    that
    a
    16
    portion
    or
    part
    of
    that
    material
    at
    the
    bottom
    of
    this
    17
    depression
    is
    also
    due
    to
    seepage
    of
    leachate
    or
    other
    18
    liquids
    from
    the
    garbage
    that’s
    been
    deposited
    all
    19
    around
    this
    hole?
    20
    A.
    I
    have
    no
    idea.
    When
    we
    pumped
    it
    out
    and
    21
    cleaned the silt out that was
    in there,
    we didn’t
    find
    22
    any garbage.
    When we pumped
    the water
    out and took
    23
    the silt out,

    you
    in

    as

    site that
    some leachate might

    landfill
    to
    prevent
    water
    from
    accumulating
    in

    bottom?
    17
    A.
    From
    running
    into
    that
    hole?
    Oh,
    yeah,
    we
    18
    bermed around
    the outside
    of
    it.
    So basically
    all
    19
    that came
    in was
    in
    that
    area.
    If you looked
    at the
    20
    hole,
    you could see where
    it was graded
    like this.
    So
    21
    anything
    from way outside
    here,
    basically
    the only
    22
    thing
    that went
    in there was what
    hit in that
    area.
    23
    Okay?
    For instance,
    if you come off the western
    slope
    24
    of
    our
    area
    where
    we’re
    done,
    it
    comes
    way
    down
    and

    then
    it
    levels
    back
    off,
    comes
    across
    and
    then
    it
    2
    drops
    into
    that hole.
    It’s all graded
    so water
    --
    3
    basically
    the only water that goes
    in there
    falls
    in
    4
    there
    or
    hits
    the
    sides
    and
    goes
    in
    there.
    I
    mean
    it
    5
    doesn’t
    come
    from
    other
    areas
    of
    the
    landfill.
    We’re
    6
    not
    diverting
    water
    into

    no.

    Has
    any
    pumping
    of

    or
    other
    9
    accumulated water taken place
    since approximately
    10
    December
    of

    11
    A.
    I
    don’t
    think
    so.
    I
    don’t
    know
    if
    we
    have
    or
    12
    not.
    I
    don’t
    think
    so.
    We’ve
    got
    that
    up
    pretty
    --
    I
    13
    doubt
    we’ll
    ever pump
    in that
    area.
    I don’t
    think
    14
    we’ll
    have
    any
    more
    pump
    water
    now.
    15
    Q.
    Is
    there
    still
    water
    that’s
    accumulating?

    No.
    17
    Q.
    Is there
    still
    a depression
    there?
    18
    A.
    No.
    Well,
    there’s
    a
    depression
    there.
    Is
    19
    there
    water
    being

    accumulating
    in
    there,
    no,
    no,

    huh-uh.
    We’re

    to
    fill
    that

    That

    It

    to

    I’m going

    well,
    let’s
    see.

    Looking

    looks

    to
    as

    Yeah,
    uh-huh.
    3
    Q.
    Can
    you
    describe
    or
    would
    you
    agree
    that
    this

    -
    -
    the
    water
    that
    is
    on
    this

    or
    the

    appears
    to
    be
    fairly
    muddy
    in

    Would
    you
    agree

    Sure.

    And
    that’s
    the
    water
    that’s

    10
    A.
    Not
    directly,
    but
    it
    will
    get
    there
    sooner
    or
    11
    later,

    So
    would
    it
    be

    diversion
    that
    you

    in
    mid
    to
    late

    in

    storm
    water
    15
    runoff
    from
    the
    retention
    pond?
    16
    A.
    Exactly.
    That
    diversion
    needs
    maintenance
    17
    all the time.
    You can’t maintain
    --
    that

    was

    taken

    There’s

    that
    you
    could
    get
    19
    in
    there
    to
    maintain
    that
    area
    at
    that
    time
    of
    the
    20
    year.
    Obviously,
    it’s
    awful
    muddy.
    The

    21
    --
    I
    mean
    if
    that
    was
    there,
    I’m
    sure
    it’s
    been

    22
    as soon
    as possible you could get
    in there to fix
    it.
    23
    But,
    yeah,
    you’re right.
    There was water going
    into
    24
    there
    at

    I
    don’t remember

    no.
    I don’t

    recall
    --
    I don’t
    think
    I went with Jim on that
    5
    inspection.
    6
    Q.
    And you have
    not dredged
    that retention pond
    7
    since 1995,
    right?
    8
    A.
    I
    spoke with Elmer about
    that the other
    day.
    9
    I believe
    he has cleaned
    it,
    he told me.
    I’m
    not
    10
    personally
    aware
    of
    it being cleaned,
    but
    I believe
    it
    11
    has been,
    from what our operations
    guy told me.
    He
    12
    said
    he thought he’d cleaned
    it
    a couple
    times
    since
    13
    we put that
    --
    since the fence went
    in?
    14
    Q.
    Yes.
    15
    A.
    I think
    it’s been cleaned
    a time
    or two since
    16
    then,
    yes.
    17
    Q.
    When you say it’s been cleaned
    a time or two
    18
    since
    then,
    do you mean actually dredging
    it
    like you
    19
    did
    --
    20
    A.
    Not like we did that time,
    no.
    You can’t do
    21
    that
    again because we’d
    lose the fence
    and everything.
    22
    Q.
    What
    would be involved
    in cleaning out
    the
    23
    pond?

    A.
    Taking any of the silt that’s
    out
    of
    there.

    1
    Q.
    How would
    he
    do that?
    2
    A.
    Just drop
    the 400 bucket
    down
    in there
    and
    3
    take whatever
    silt’s
    in
    there.
    That water
    is fairly
    4
    deep now
    so it’s hard
    to judge how much silt would
    be
    5
    in there,
    if
    any.
    6
    Q.
    Do you know how deep
    that retention pond is?
    7
    A.
    Based
    on
    those pictures,
    I’d say eight
    feet
    8
    maybe.
    I
    don’t
    know.
    Seven or eight
    foot.
    It
    9
    depends
    on how much
    silt’s
    in the bottom
    of
    it,

    10
    guess.

    about
    the fence that’s

    that you

    in
    1995.
    14

    a
    couple
    6
    questions
    about
    response
    to
    complaints
    you
    might
    7
    receive
    at
    the
    landfill.
    8
    A.
    tlh-huh.
    9
    Q.
    You
    indicated
    that
    you
    or
    whomever
    else
    might
    10
    be
    in
    the
    office
    at
    the
    landfill
    would
    take
    a
    11
    complaint
    called
    in
    by
    a
    citizen
    or
    a
    neighbor?
    12
    A.
    Sure,
    uh-huh.
    13
    Q.
    Do you
    as the project
    manager get involved
    in
    14
    responding
    to
    those
    complaints?
    15
    A.
    On
    occasion
    I
    do,
    yeah.

    Whose

    it

    22
    A.
    Any management

    A.
    Tome?
    10
    Q.
    Yes.
    11
    A.
    Oh,
    I’ve
    talked
    to
    him
    a
    half
    a
    dozen
    times
    12
    maybe,
    maybe
    more.
    I

    13
    Who knows.
    14
    Q.
    Over
    what
    time
    period?
    15
    A.
    Since
    I’ve
    been
    there,
    I’ve
    probably
    talked
    16
    to
    him
    a
    dozen
    or
    two
    times
    on
    the

    I
    don’t
    17
    recall.
    Not
    all
    of

    were

    Yes.
    I’ve talked
    to Wayne maybe
    a dozen
    22
    times
    over the years.
    23
    Q.
    And would you agree that

    Q.
    I
    was
    asking
    you
    if
    the
    number
    of
    calls
    from
    7
    the
    Siebkes,
    either
    Mr.

    were
    in

    relation
    to

    part
    of

    their

    filled
    with
    refuse
    from
    the

    landfill?
    11
    A.
    The
    majority
    of
    the
    time
    that
    I
    have
    talked
    12
    to
    them?
    13
    Q.
    Uh-huh.
    14
    A.
    No.
    15
    Q.
    Have
    you
    taken
    any
    calls
    from
    them
    that
    have
    16
    had
    to
    do
    with

    the

    Now,

    taken
    the call,
    what
    has the
    22
    complaint
    or what
    have
    the complaints
    been?
    23
    A.
    The last major complaint
    I
    got
    from
    Mr.

    Whitley was taking care
    of that
    fence.

    1
    Q.
    And
    when
    was
    that?
    2
    A.
    Prior
    to
    June
    of
    ‘95.
    It
    was
    before
    that,
    3
    you
    know.
    Shortly
    thereafter,
    I
    think
    he
    was
    down
    4
    there when we decided what
    we were going
    to do on that
    S

    6
    Q.
    You
    don’t
    recall

    call
    from

    I

    have.

    --
    regarding
    the
    gas
    wells
    remaining

    10
    or
    uncovered
    for
    a
    period
    of
    four
    or
    five
    days
    over
    a
    11
    long
    weekend?
    12
    A.
    I don’t
    recall.
    That’s
    impossible,
    though,
    13
    no.
    I
    don’t
    recall
    him
    making
    the
    phone
    call,
    no.
    14
    don’t
    recall.
    He
    may
    have.
    I
    don’t
    know.
    15
    Q.
    Have any other
    of ESG Watts’
    employees
    told
    16
    you
    that
    they
    took
    such
    a
    call
    from
    Mr.
    Whitley?
    17
    A.
    I
    think
    I
    heard
    from
    people
    that
    there
    were
    18
    holes
    left
    uncovered
    or
    something,
    and
    I
    said
    that’s
    19
    impossible.
    They
    won’t
    --
    you
    can’t
    leave
    holes
    like
    20
    that
    uncovered.
    That’s
    ridiculous.
    21
    Q.
    Who
    did
    you
    hear
    from
    that
    they
    had
    been

    left
    --
    23
    A.
    Might
    have been Joe Chenoweth or something
    24
    like
    that,
    maybe
    Elmer.
    I
    don’t
    recall.

    made
    a
    mention
    to
    me
    because

    I
    think
    it
    was
    Joe
    2
    because
    --
    I
    may have heard something
    from him,
    3
    because
    I
    told
    him,
    I
    said,
    “Joe,
    you
    don’t
    leave
    4
    holes
    uncovered.”
    That’s
    what
    those
    plates
    are
    for.
    5
    That’s
    impossible
    that
    four
    or
    five
    holes
    was
    left
    6
    uncovered.
    If
    someone
    said
    that
    to
    me,
    I’d
    blow
    it
    7
    off
    and
    walk
    away
    because
    I
    know
    they
    don’t
    know
    what
    8
    they’re
    talking
    about,

    Q.
    As
    project
    manager
    whose
    responsibility
    is
    10
    ensuring

    you
    would
    not
    go
    out
    11
    to

    where
    they
    claim
    the
    holes
    to
    be
    12
    uncovered
    and
    check?
    13
    A.
    No way.
    14
    Q.
    You
    would
    just
    blow
    it
    off?
    15
    A.
    I
    would
    blow
    off
    a
    complaint
    like
    that
    16
    because
    it’s
    ridiculous.
    I
    know
    the
    drillers;
    I
    know
    17
    their
    procedures.
    You
    can’t
    have
    four
    or
    five
    holes
    18
    uncovered
    at
    one
    time,
    anyway.
    It
    doesn’t
    make
    sense.
    19
    It’s
    impossible.
    It
    just
    is
    --
    it’s
    very
    extremely
    20
    unlikely,
    and

    respond

    No,
    5
    that’s ridiculous.
    In fact,
    I would invite
    them over.
    6
    I
    mean
    if
    they
    were
    persistent
    enough,
    I’d
    say
    let’s

    go
    check

    Do
    something

    that.
    8

    But

    A.
    In
    a
    nutshell,
    they
    drill
    to
    a
    predetermined
    depth,
    okay,
    whatever
    was
    on
    the
    engineering
    spec.
    Once that’s done,
    they immediately
    set the pipe
    up,
    okay,
    for
    the
    well,
    and
    --
    Q.
    The
    casing?
    A.
    The
    pipe.
    The
    HDPE.
    And
    they
    usually
    measure
    a
    --
    if
    it’s
    a
    90-foot
    well
    and
    we
    had
    I
    believe
    it
    was
    two-thirds,
    one-third,
    they’d
    set
    it
    up
    for
    the
    perforated
    and
    the
    solid,
    get
    that,
    and
    then
    they’d
    proceed
    to
    set
    the
    well,
    backfill
    it
    immediately,
    get
    the
    well
    installed
    to
    grade
    as

    ever
    have

    Did
    they

    Right.

    Not
    very
    often.

    A.
    Yes.

    Garbage,

    that
    the

    emanating

    No, not really.
    Different.

    Q.
    And
    what’s
    the
    difference
    between
    those
    two
    15
    odors?
    16
    A.
    In
    comparison
    to
    like
    diesel
    and
    gas,
    I
    17
    guess.
    I
    don’t
    know.
    I
    don’t
    know.
    Definitely
    a
    18
    different
    odor
    between
    the
    two,
    you
    know,
    a
    little
    bit
    19
    different.
    But
    to
    describe
    it
    like
    rotten
    eggs

    something,
    it wasn’t
    rotten eggs necessarily.

    so.
    I believe

    check
    that.
    I
    think

    Steve
    set
    one
    up

    he

    reason
    or
    another.

    5
    Q.
    I
    think
    you
    indicated
    that
    the
    pumping
    6
    occurred
    over
    a
    period
    of
    three
    to
    four
    months.
    7
    A.
    Yeah.
    8
    Q.
    Okay.
    How
    often
    were
    you
    pumping
    during
    that
    9
    period?
    10
    A.
    We
    would
    usually
    pump
    for
    at
    least
    like
    a
    11
    24-hour
    period
    due
    to
    the
    cost
    of
    the
    analysis.
    You
    12
    know,
    it was set up that you had to pump
    so
    often.
    So
    13
    if
    we’re
    going
    to
    pump,
    let’s
    pump
    the
    maximum
    we
    can
    14
    for
    the
    amount
    of
    samples
    like
    we
    would
    have
    to
    take,
    15
    you
    know.
    It
    didn’t
    make
    sense
    to
    pump
    for
    two
    hours
    16
    one
    day
    and
    two
    hours
    the
    next
    day.
    That’s
    two
    17
    sampling
    events.
    So
    we
    wouldn’t
    do
    it
    that
    way.
    But
    18
    as
    the
    water
    went
    down
    and
    as
    we
    brought
    the
    nonwaste
    19
    disposal
    area
    out,
    there
    was
    silt
    in
    there,
    and
    we’d
    20
    take
    that
    silt
    out,
    and
    then
    the
    water
    --
    you
    know,
    we
    21
    were trying
    to just shrink that pond
    as best
    we could.
    22
    So it might be
    a
    couple
    of weeks before
    we’d pump
    23
    again.
    I had pictures
    if you wanted to show how we
    24
    did
    it.

    think you testified
    Jim Kammueller was
    present
    at
    least
    on
    some
    of
    those
    occasions?
    A.
    I
    don’t
    know
    if
    he
    was
    --
    I
    think
    we
    pumped
    and
    then
    we
    called
    or
    he
    called.
    He
    called,
    showed
    up
    after
    this,
    and
    said
    you
    should
    do
    this,
    this,
    and
    this.
    He
    didn’t
    like
    the
    way
    our
    setup
    was,
    so
    we
    did
    what
    he
    asked
    us
    to
    do.
    Q.
    What were
    some
    of those
    things
    that you did?
    A.
    He
    suggested
    we
    run
    the
    hose
    all
    the
    way
    to
    the discharge
    pond instead
    of like halfway.
    Okay?
    Q.
    And did you do that?
    A.
    Yeah.
    We
    went
    out
    and
    bought
    hose.
    Q.
    What
    else did he suggest?
    A.
    He
    suggested
    to
    put
    siltation
    fences
    all
    the
    way
    down
    where
    the
    sock
    from
    the
    --
    he suggested
    a
    sock
    at
    the
    end.
    Q.
    Did
    you
    put
    a
    sock
    on?

    A.
    Yes,

    Then
    he

    a
    series
    of
    2
    siltation
    fences,
    this

    --
    he

    suggested
    to
    put
    3
    some down
    into
    Mr.
    Siebke’s
    area,
    which we
    did.
    We
    4
    did
    a
    lot.
    Basically
    what
    he
    told
    us
    to
    do.
    5
    Actually,
    he
    was
    pretty
    helpful
    in

    yeah.
    6
    0.
    And
    what
    was
    the
    --
    were you continuously
    7
    sampling
    as
    you
    discharged?
    8
    A.
    As
    we pumped we sampled
    as
    we were supposed
    9
    to,
    three
    equal
    outputs
    in
    the
    amount
    of
    time.
    We
    10
    tried
    to
    time
    it
    out,
    you
    know,
    like
    eight
    hours,
    so
    11
    we
    knew
    when
    we
    had
    to
    sample,
    you
    know,
    timewise.
    We
    12
    explained
    all that
    to Jim and showed him how we were
    13
    doing
    it,
    the
    sampling.
    14
    Q.
    Did
    you
    submit
    that
    sampling
    to
    the
    Agency?
    15
    A.
    As
    far
    as
    I
    know,
    it
    was,
    yeah,
    the
    DMRs,
    16
    yes.
    17
    Q.
    Oh,
    it would have been on the DMRs?
    lB
    A.
    Yeah.
    The
    tracking
    of
    how
    we
    sampled
    and
    19
    times.
    I
    think
    we
    gave
    him
    that
    separately,
    I
    20
    believe.
    He
    saw
    that.

    Q.
    I

    you
    testified

    you
    received
    12
    a

    complaint
    that
    you

    you

    Yeah.

    responded
    to
    a

    complaint?
    17
    A.
    No.
    I

    them.
    I
    18
    mean

    appears
    to

    a

    6
    A.

    7

    What
    is

    Is
    that
    the

    9
    A.
    Yeah.
    Yeah,
    it’s
    an
    access
    road
    around
    the
    10
    site
    that
    we
    put
    in
    there
    to
    help
    divert
    so
    the
    only
    11
    --
    basically,
    you
    know
    --
    it
    was

    at
    the

    of

    14
    A.
    Yeah.
    And
    that
    didn’t
    make
    sense.
    You
    want
    15
    to get
    it
    up there
    a ways
    from

    Hopefully
    it

    12
    A.
    They
    look
    fairly
    recent
    to
    me
    because
    of
    the
    13
    amount
    of

    in

    not
    that
    14
    much
    material
    in

    of

    You
    need
    to
    do
    that
    15
    time
    of
    the
    year
    because
    of
    --
    you
    can’t
    get
    --
    it’s
    16
    extremely
    hard
    to
    get
    equipment
    in
    there,
    it’s
    so
    17
    muddy
    and
    that,
    so
    temporary

    year
    when
    you

    He was having an erosion problem that

    A.
    We

    down
    there,
    brought
    out

    make

    so
    13
    that
    wouldn’t

    was
    starting

    14
    towards
    his

    5
    Q.
    Just
    real
    quick.
    I
    think
    you
    indicated
    that
    6
    all
    your
    sampling
    for
    the
    NPDES
    permit
    was
    sent
    to
    is
    7
    it
    Beling?
    B
    A.
    As
    far
    as
    I
    know
    of,
    yeah.
    9
    Q.
    Would
    that have been the case with the first
    10
    NPDES
    permit
    that
    was
    issued
    in
    1986?
    11
    A.
    I
    don’t
    know.
    Couldn’t
    tell
    you.
    12
    Q.
    You
    had
    two
    sample
    points
    under
    that
    permit?
    13
    A.
    Correct.
    14
    Q.
    001
    and
    002?
    15
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    16
    Q.
    And
    that
    permit
    was
    or
    you
    were
    operating
    17
    pursuant
    to
    that
    permit
    until
    the
    new
    permit
    was
    lB
    issued
    just
    earlier
    this
    year,
    right?
    19
    A.
    Uh-huh,
    uh-huh.
    20
    Q.
    And prior
    to issuance
    of this new permit
    were
    21
    you sending
    samplings
    from
    001 and 002
    to Beling
    for
    22
    analysis?
    23
    A.
    If
    there was
    a discharge,
    we would have been,
    24
    sure.

    the

    2

    A.
    For

    4
    Q.
    tjh-huh.
    5
    A.
    If
    we
    pumped
    30
    days,
    it
    would
    be
    extremely
    6
    expensive.
    If
    we
    pumped
    once
    --
    I
    mean
    it
    depends
    on
    7
    how
    many
    you
    send
    in.
    B
    Q.
    Did
    you
    only
    take
    samples
    if
    you
    were
    9
    pumping?
    10
    A.
    On
    001
    during
    that
    time,
    yeah.
    11
    Q.
    From
    1986
    to
    1996?
    12
    A.
    Oh,
    no,
    no.
    Well,
    yeah,
    I would assume
    so,
    13
    sure.
    It
    was
    ponded.
    14
    Q.
    Now,
    are
    you
    familiar
    with
    the
    sampling
    that
    15
    is
    required
    under
    the
    NPDES
    permit?
    16
    A.
    Relatively
    speaking,
    yeah.
    17
    Q.
    And
    would
    you
    agree
    that
    Watts
    is
    not

    required
    to

    A.

    we
    always
    composited
    them.

    Q.
    Okay.
    How much does
    it

    in
    I
    think
    ‘94
    and
    the
    one

    in

    Probably
    the

    The

    River

    the
    Mississippi
    River
    to

    The

    can
    you
    tell

    what
    this
    is?

    A.
    It’s
    a
    topographical
    map
    of
    the
    ESG
    Watts
    S
    Taylor
    Ridge
    Landfill.
    Basically
    it
    encompasses
    the
    6
    whole
    landfill
    and
    then
    there’s
    some
    boarding
    property
    7
    around
    the
    landfill
    but
    not
    very
    much.
    B
    Q.
    Why
    don’t
    you
    tell
    me
    --
    let’s
    just
    go
    around
    9
    the
    landfill
    and
    describe
    for
    me
    the
    topography
    and
    10
    the
    land
    use
    of
    the
    area
    around
    the
    landfill.
    Why
    11
    don’t
    we
    start
    on
    the
    east
    side.
    12
    A.
    Okay.
    This
    east
    portion
    over
    here,
    this
    is
    a
    13
    wooded
    ravine
    area
    in
    here.
    14
    Q.
    You
    have
    to
    describe
    a
    little
    --
    15
    A.
    To
    the
    west
    in
    the
    north
    corner
    it’s
    a

    ravine,

    area.

    East
    or

    it’s
    corn basically
    all
    the way down
    to about
    the
    22
    middle of the site,
    and then
    I think it’s soybeans
    23
    toward the south side on
    the east side
    of
    the
    24
    landfill.

    Q.
    So it’s all agricultural?
    2
    A.
    Yes.
    3
    Q.
    Is
    there any slope
    to that ground?
    4
    A.
    Toward
    the
    south
    portion
    it’s,
    you
    know,
    S
    rolling
    hilly.
    More
    toward
    the

    it’s
    deep
    6
    ravines.
    7
    Q.
    Okay.
    How
    about
    the
    --
    I
    guess
    it
    would
    be
    8
    the
    south
    side
    of
    the
    landfill?
    9
    A.
    South
    side
    is
    property
    owned
    by
    ESG
    Watts
    and
    10
    it’s
    mostly
    wooded.
    Originally
    it
    was
    mostly
    wooded.
    13.
    We’ve
    excavated
    areas
    in
    there
    to
    --
    for
    daily
    cover
    12
    and final
    cover
    and intermediate
    cover.
    But for the
    13
    most
    part,
    we’re
    probably
    in
    maybe
    like
    a
    five
    acre
    14
    area.
    The
    rest
    of
    it
    is,
    you
    know,
    wooded
    in
    its
    15
    original
    state
    with
    deep
    ravines
    running
    across
    the
    16
    property.
    17
    Q.
    You
    don’t
    landfill
    in
    that
    area?
    18
    A.
    No,
    we
    do
    not.
    19
    Q.
    How
    about
    the
    west
    portion?
    20
    A.
    Part
    of the west portion toward the south end
    21
    is
    again
    cropland.
    I
    think
    it’s
    a
    cornfield.
    It’s,
    22
    you know,
    pretty steep,
    you know,
    rolling
    hill.
    The
    23
    further north you go there’s an open field
    that has
    a

    relatively
    flat spot but there
    are deep ravines

    go?
    Are
    they

    A.
    Most
    of
    them
    run

    to

    I
    think
    it’s
    6
    --
    there’s
    a
    creek
    that
    runs
    along
    the
    south
    border
    of
    7
    the
    landfill
    and
    most
    of
    them
    head
    that
    way.

    Q.
    How
    about
    then
    on
    the
    north
    side?
    11
    A.
    On
    the
    north
    side
    there
    is
    --
    the

    is
    12
    owned by Mr.
    Whitley.
    In
    that corner directly
    to the

    northwest
    there
    is a pond that was created when

    you
    14
    know,
    from
    my
    understanding
    of
    talking
    to
    people,
    I
    15
    wasn’t
    there
    at
    the
    time
    and
    how
    it
    was
    created,
    but
    I
    16
    was
    told
    it
    was
    created
    by
    somebody
    constructing
    an
    17
    earthen
    dam
    across
    a
    ravine
    and
    then,

    And
    what’s

    It’s

    Well,
    not

    And
    then
    there’s
    --
    there’s
    22
    like
    stands
    of

    you

    There
    might
    be,
    you
    23
    know,
    some
    trees
    here
    and
    then
    over
    here
    there
    might
    24
    be
    a
    few
    trees.

    Q.
    Okay.
    How about just north
    of that circle
    3
    you’ve
    drawn,
    what’s
    in
    that
    area?
    4
    A.
    There’s
    a
    lot
    of
    trees
    right
    in
    this
    area.
    S
    Q.
    Is
    it
    sloped?
    6
    A.
    Yeah,
    it’s
    a
    steep
    embankment
    that
    comes
    down
    7
    onto
    our
    landfill.
    8
    Q.
    How
    about
    the
    property
    northeast
    of
    the
    9
    retention
    pond,
    what’s
    the
    topography
    of
    that?
    10
    A.
    It’s
    a
    steep
    slope
    that
    comes
    down
    into
    the
    11
    retention
    pond
    and
    into
    Mr.
    Whitley’s
    pond.
    12
    0.
    Why
    don’t
    you
    go
    ahead
    and
    draw
    a
    circle
    or
    13
    something.
    14
    A.
    There’s
    a
    steep
    slope
    like
    right
    in
    here.
    15
    And
    then,
    you
    know,
    further
    east
    of
    that
    slope
    it
    16
    levels
    out
    to
    another
    pasture.
    I
    think
    that
    one
    of
    17
    the
    neighbors
    uses
    it
    to
    hit
    golf
    balls
    in.
    So
    it’s
    18
    pretty
    --
    you
    know,
    this
    might
    be

    A.
    The second circle
    is directly north
    of the
    2
    landfill
    toward
    the west
    side.
    It
    is directly east
    of
    3
    the
    retention
    basin.
    4
    Q.
    Why
    don’t
    you
    go
    ahead
    and
    mark
    that
    circle
    5
    with
    a
    --
    put
    the
    bigger
    circle
    with
    an
    A
    and
    then
    the

    smaller
    one
    with
    a
    B.
    7
    A.
    Okay.
    8
    Q.
    Let’s
    talk
    about
    watercourses
    around
    the
    9
    landfill.
    On
    the
    map
    that
    you’ve
    been
    writing
    on
    10
    there
    is
    actually
    some
    numbers.
    The
    northeast
    corner
    11
    is
    001.
    Does
    that
    represent
    any
    kind
    of
    watercourse?
    12
    A.
    It’s
    a natural
    occurring
    ravine
    that’s
    been
    13
    there
    for,
    you
    know,
    I
    don’t
    know
    how
    many
    thousands
    14
    of
    years.
    You
    know,
    however
    long
    it
    took
    for
    it
    to
    15
    develop
    through
    the
    erosional
    process,
    but
    it’s
    been
    16
    there
    a
    long
    time.
    17
    Q.
    That
    something
    that
    Watts
    has
    created?
    18
    A.
    No,
    it
    was
    there
    before
    Watts
    purchased
    the
    19
    property.
    You
    know,
    it’s
    a
    pretty
    steep
    ravine
    20
    through there.
    I would say the change
    of elevation
    is
    21
    probably,
    you know,
    60,
    70
    feet from the top of the
    22
    ravine to the bottom and it’s
    --
    you
    know,
    it’s
    a
    23
    pretty steep
    slope.
    It’s,
    you know,
    steeper
    than the
    24
    slopes
    at
    the
    landfill.

    do
    you
    consider

    I
    don’t
    understand
    the

    If you measure down

    where
    are
    4
    you
    going
    to
    be

    Just

    Okay.
    I’ll
    scratch
    those.
    7
    How
    often
    is
    water
    in
    that
    --
    I
    can’t
    remember
    8
    what
    you
    called
    it
    --
    in
    001?
    9
    A.
    Very
    rarely.
    Only
    when
    there
    is
    some
    type
    of
    10
    precipitation
    and,
    you
    know,
    it
    might
    not
    last
    very
    1.
    long.
    You
    know,
    I’ve
    seen
    where
    it’s
    rained
    quite
    12
    heavily
    and
    nothing’s
    gone
    down
    there.
    It
    all
    depends
    13
    on
    how
    much
    moisture
    is
    already
    in
    the
    ground,
    you
    14
    know,
    the
    ability
    and
    the
    capability
    of
    the
    surface
    15
    area
    to
    absorb
    the
    water.
    16

    You
    are
    familiar
    -.
    if
    I
    use
    the
    term
    Siebke
    17
    property,
    you’re
    familiar
    with
    that?
    18
    A.
    Yeah,
    it’s
    20
    acres
    --
    I
    think
    it’s
    19
    approximately
    20
    acres
    directly
    north
    of
    the
    landfill
    20
    on the east
    side.
    21
    Q.
    Now,
    is
    that the property
    that
    001
    flows
    --
    22
    travels
    through?
    23

    Yes,
    it
    is.

    slopes
    on
    that
    property?
    2
    A,
    It’s
    a
    --
    his
    property
    is
    all
    steep
    ravines
    3
    except
    out toward the
    --
    along
    Andalusia
    Road
    there’s
    4
    a small
    area
    that he plants
    corn
    on that,
    you know,
    5
    that
    might
    be
    an
    acre
    that’s
    relatively
    flat,
    but
    most
    6
    of
    his
    property
    is
    either,
    you
    know,
    rolling
    hills
    or
    7
    ravines.
    I’d
    say
    90
    percent
    of
    his
    property
    probably
    8
    has
    timber
    on
    it,
    too.
    9
    Q.
    Let’s
    look
    at
    the
    south
    side
    of
    the
    landfill.
    10
    Are
    there
    any
    watercourses
    along
    the
    south
    side
    of
    the
    11
    landfill?
    12
    A.
    There’s
    an
    intermittent
    stream
    that
    runs
    13
    along
    the
    south
    boundary.
    14
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    the
    source
    of
    that
    stream?
    15
    A.
    From
    what
    I
    can
    tell
    it
    starts
    approximately
    16
    1500,
    2,000
    feet southwest
    of the landfill
    in
    a
    --
    you
    17
    know,
    in
    a
    farm
    lot.
    You
    know,
    there’s
    animals
    18
    running
    around
    it.
    I
    think
    the
    farmer
    has
    a
    pond
    up
    19
    --
    a dammed-up
    pond there that kind
    of
    is where
    it
    20
    starts
    and
    then
    it
    drains
    on
    through
    his
    cornfield
    and
    21
    then
    all the way out
    to
    the Mississippi.
    22
    Q.
    How
    often
    have
    you
    observed
    water
    in
    that
    23
    intermittent
    stream?
    24
    A.
    You
    know,
    again,
    it
    depends
    upon
    the

    774
    1
    rainfall.
    But
    I
    would
    say
    that
    there’s
    usually
    water
    2
    in
    there.
    You know,
    it’s not always
    flowing.
    A
    lot
    3
    of
    times
    you’ll
    just
    see
    standing
    water
    that
    might
    be
    4
    trapped like
    in a pool
    or something,
    but there’s
    S
    usually water,
    but
    I would say probably,
    you know,
    6
    there’s
    flowing
    water
    60
    percent
    of
    the
    time.
    7
    Q.
    Okay.
    That
    60
    percent
    does
    that
    vary
    the
    8
    amount
    of
    water
    that’s
    flowing
    through
    there?
    9
    A.
    Oh,
    yeah.
    You know,
    definitely.
    You just
    10
    might
    see
    a
    trickle
    going
    through
    there
    or
    you
    might
    11
    --
    you
    know,
    after
    a
    heavy
    rainstorm
    it
    might
    be
    a
    12
    foot
    deep.
    13
    0.
    Have you ever observed any aquatic
    life
    in
    14
    that
    stream?
    15
    A.
    No,
    I
    haven’t.
    16
    Q.
    Let’s
    switch gears
    now.
    17
    You know what
    a Sig Mod permit application
    is?
    18
    A.
    Yes,
    I
    do.
    19
    Q.
    Has one been submitted for the Taylor Ridge
    20
    site?
    21
    A.
    One has been submitted
    twice.
    22
    Q.
    Okay,
    When was the first one submitted?
    23
    A.
    I want
    to say sometime
    in
    1993.
    I think
    we
    24
    got
    a
    denial
    in
    February
    of
    ‘90
    --
    was
    it
    ‘94?

    would

    2

    What happened
    to that
    submittal?
    I
    should
    3
    say did the Agency act on that submittal?
    4
    A.
    Well,
    at
    first
    it was
    --
    there
    was
    a
    5
    completeness
    review.
    It
    was
    deemed
    incomplete.
    We
    6
    met
    with
    the
    Agency
    personnel.
    We
    discussed
    with
    them
    7
    the
    issues
    that
    were
    involved.
    We
    corrected
    them.
    We
    8
    were
    issued
    a
    letter
    of
    completeness.
    And
    they
    9
    started
    to
    begin
    the
    official
    review
    of
    the
    10
    application
    and
    then
    we
    received
    a
    denial
    of
    that
    11
    application.
    12
    Q.
    Let
    me
    show
    you
    what
    I
    have
    marked
    as
    13
    Respondent’s
    Number
    8.
    Can
    you
    identify
    that
    for
    me,
    14
    please?
    15
    A.
    It’s

    that?

    and

    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Do you have
    a date?
    3
    Is that
    the most recent submittal?
    4
    A.
    No,
    this
    is not.
    5
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    Yeah,
    which Sig Mod are
    6
    you talking about?
    7
    A.
    This was the first
    Sig Mod that was denied.
    8
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Is there any
    9
    objection
    to
    it?
    10
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I’m going
    to object.
    11
    don’t
    think
    this
    is relevant
    to the issues
    at
    hand.
    12
    This submittal
    has already been
    filed with the Agency,
    13
    and it’s already been denied by the Agency.
    There’s
    a
    14
    permit
    appeal
    filed with the Board.
    If there are
    15
    issues regarding
    this,
    I
    think
    they’re better
    taken
    up
    16
    in the permit appeal.
    17
    MR. NORTHRUP:
    Well,
    first
    of all,
    I’ve
    18
    provided
    this.
    One
    of the allegations
    in the
    19
    complaint
    is that no cost revisions were submitted
    20
    until
    --
    I
    can’t remember when.
    These
    are cost
    21
    revisions
    that
    were submitted with the original
    Sig
    22
    Mod,
    which
    in
    the
    PCB opinion
    94-127,
    when
    the issue
    23
    came
    up with respect
    to the submittals
    of the Sig Mod,
    24
    the Board accepted
    these
    as being
    a valid submission

    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525-~6167

    --
    submittal.
    I mean one of your allegations
    is that
    closure
    plans haven’t been submitted.
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I think there’s
    some
    confusion,
    Charlie,
    over what
    the allegations
    are.
    You might
    want
    to look
    at page
    7 of the complaint.
    MR. NORTHRUP:
    Mr.
    Taylor,
    as well,
    testified
    that closure plans
    had not been submitted,
    when
    in
    fact
    this document had been submitted.
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Mr.
    Northrup,
    do you
    have
    anything else?
    MR. NORTHRUP:
    Well,
    sure,
    on page
    7 they
    make
    the allegation
    in paragraph
    21
    that by failing
    to
    revise
    the cost estimates
    on or before
    April
    30th,
    1995.
    In
    fact,
    this document revising
    the cost
    estimates
    was submitted
    in September
    of
    ‘94 as
    indicated
    on
    --
    in paragraph
    20.
    And the Board
    in PCB
    94-127 has accepted the submittal
    --
    has said the
    submittal
    of cost revisions
    with those Sig Mods
    constitutes
    the formal submittal
    of the cost
    revisions.
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Now you’re confusing
    me.
    Are these the second
    submittal
    or the original
    submittal?
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    This
    is the original.

    HEARING OFFICER

    Okay.
    Do you have
    anything further?
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    The same objection.
    I don’t
    think this
    is relevant
    to the
    issues before the Board.
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Well,
    it’s extremely
    relevant.
    HEARING OFFICER FRANK:
    I’m going
    to allow
    it,
    so you don’t need
    to argue
    any more.
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    about
    for the record?
    Which exhibits are we talking
    HEARING OFFICER FRANK:
    My understanding
    is
    Exhibit
    8.
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    8.
    HEARING OFFICER FRANK:
    which
    has
    the cost estimates.
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    has the cost estimates.
    different
    ones
    we
    have.
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    was the next one they did.
    The section of
    it
    I’m looking
    at Exhibit
    9 which
    So
    I just wonder how many
    This
    is
    a different
    one.
    This
    8
    is
    from the original Sig
    Mod that was submitted
    back
    in September
    of
    ‘94.
    HEARING OFFICER FRANK:
    Do they have
    B?
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    If
    I
    may,

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    the Sig Mod.
    They’ve since filed
    a revised or
    a new submittal
    for
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12
    13

    23
    24
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS

    779
    1
    we’ve
    got an allegation
    on page
    6
    in paragraph
    16
    2
    that alleges
    that there was
    a
    failure
    to revise the
    3
    estimates
    on or before November
    28,
    1992.
    That was
    4
    the
    permit
    imposed
    date.
    We
    tried
    to
    acknowledge
    in
    5
    the
    complaint
    that
    there
    had
    been
    some
    permit
    6
    activity.
    And
    then
    on
    paragraph
    20
    on
    page
    7
    we
    say
    7
    that
    there
    was
    a
    subsequent
    failure
    after
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    8
    was
    denied
    in
    February
    of
    ‘95
    to
    revise
    the
    cost
    9
    estimates.
    So
    I hope
    it’s clear
    at
    least
    to the Board
    10
    that
    there
    is
    a
    time
    period
    that
    is
    not
    intended
    to
    be
    11
    covered
    by
    our
    complaint,
    and
    that
    we
    are
    not
    trying
    12
    to
    relitigate
    a
    case
    that
    we
    won
    in
    94-127.
    We’re
    13
    trying to move
    on and obtain the relief
    that
    we should
    14
    have
    been
    granted.
    15
    So,
    you
    know,
    I’m
    looking
    at
    Exhibit
    9,
    which
    is
    16
    dated
    October
    ‘95,
    and
    that
    --
    you
    know,
    that
    would
    17
    seem to be pertinent,
    but
    it doesn’t
    negate the
    18
    allegation
    in
    paragraph
    21
    on
    page
    7
    that
    Watts
    failed
    19
    to
    revise
    the
    cost
    estimates
    on
    or
    before
    April
    30th,
    20
    1995.
    21
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Okay.
    I
    don’t
    --
    22
    first
    of
    all,
    I
    don’t
    believe
    Mr.
    Northrup
    has
    tried
    23
    to
    move
    Exhibit
    9
    yet.
    My
    understanding
    was
    we
    were
    24
    talking
    about
    Exhibit
    8.

    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    That’s
    correct.
    2
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    And
    as
    to whether
    a
    3
    document
    does
    or
    does
    not
    negate
    items
    in
    the
    4
    complaint,
    that’s
    up
    to
    the
    Board.
    5
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    I’m
    simply
    responding,
    and
    albeit
    6
    Mr.
    Jones
    is
    not
    my
    witness,
    but
    Mr.
    Northrup
    has
    made
    7
    statements
    in
    support
    of
    8
    that
    tends
    to
    confuse
    the
    8
    whole
    big
    picture,
    and
    that’s
    what
    I’m
    concerned
    9
    about.
    If
    B’s
    in,
    that’s
    fine.
    But
    let’s
    not
    --
    you
    10
    know,
    let’s
    not
    have
    a
    mistaken
    impression
    on
    what
    the
    11
    complaint
    says.
    You
    know,
    the
    allegations
    are
    clear
    12
    and
    that’s
    fine.
    But
    that’s
    really
    what
    I’m
    trying
    to
    13
    correct.
    I’m
    not
    trying
    to
    say
    it
    shouldn’t
    be
    14
    admitted.
    I’m
    simply
    responding
    to
    that
    argument.
    15
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Okay,
    that’s
    fine.
    16
    Let’s
    go
    ahead
    and
    move
    on.
    17
    MR.

    So
    8
    is
    admitted?

    Yes.
    19
    (Respondent’s

    admitted.)
    21
    Q.
    Now,
    with respect
    to the original
    Sig Mod
    22
    submittal,
    you said that was denied by the Agency,
    is
    23
    that
    correct?
    24
    A.
    That’s
    correct.

    781
    1
    Q.
    What did you do
    in response
    to that denial?
    2
    A.
    Well,
    we met with our consulting
    firm,
    3
    CH2M-Hill
    and,
    you know,
    we looked
    at the denial
    4
    points
    that
    we
    had
    on
    the
    denial
    letter,
    and
    we
    just
    5
    reviewed
    them
    and,
    you
    know,
    what
    we
    had
    to
    do
    to
    6
    correct
    the
    deficiencies.
    We
    held
    meetings
    with
    the
    7
    Agency
    to
    discuss
    the
    denial
    points
    in
    trying
    to
    8
    figure
    out
    what
    they
    expected
    in
    the
    application.
    9
    Q.
    Did
    you
    submit
    any
    documents
    in
    response
    to
    10
    your
    meetings
    with
    the
    Agency?
    11
    A.
    No.
    12
    Q.
    I
    believe
    Respondent’s
    Exhibit
    1,
    which
    was
    13
    referred
    to
    as
    a
    Sig
    Mod
    resubmittal,
    was
    submitted
    in
    14
    October
    of
    1996.
    Are you aware
    of
    that?
    15
    A.
    Yes.
    We
    did
    redo
    the
    application,
    address
    16
    the
    points,
    and
    then
    we
    did
    resubmit
    another
    Sig
    Mod.
    17
    Q.
    Okay.
    And
    at
    some
    point
    after
    that
    18
    resubmittal
    did
    you
    learn
    that
    that
    submittal
    was
    not
    19
    in
    the
    form
    the
    Agency
    wanted
    it
    in?
    20
    A.
    Yes.
    We
    received
    the
    information
    back
    with
    a
    21
    letter addressing
    the fact that they felt
    it was not
    22
    adequate,
    what
    they were looking
    for.
    23
    Q.
    What did you do
    in response to
    that?
    24
    A.
    We
    put
    together
    a
    complete
    application
    with
    CAPITOL
    REPORTING
    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525-
    6167

    782
    1
    the signature
    forms and sent
    it off
    to the Agency.
    2
    Q.
    Now,
    since
    the original
    submittal
    of the Sig
    3
    Mod has Watts submitted
    any additional
    cost revisions
    4
    to
    the
    Agency?
    5
    A.
    Yes,
    there’s
    been
    three
    revisions
    since
    the
    6
    original
    Sig
    Mod
    was
    submitted.
    7
    Q.
    Okay.
    Let
    me
    show
    you
    what
    I’ve
    marked
    as
    8
    Respondent’s
    Exhibit
    9.
    Can
    you
    identify
    that
    for
    me,
    9
    please?
    10
    A.
    That’s
    a
    Closure/Postclosure
    Care
    Plan
    and
    11
    cost
    estimates
    for
    the
    ESG
    Watts
    Taylor
    Ridge
    Landfill
    12
    that was submitted
    in October
    of
    ‘95.
    13
    Q.
    Okay.
    Did you prepare
    that?
    14
    A.
    I
    prepared
    it
    15
    Q.
    Was that submitted
    to the Agency?
    16
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    was.
    17
    Q.
    Is
    that
    a
    true
    and
    accurate
    copy
    of
    that
    18
    document
    that
    was
    submitted
    to
    the
    Agency?
    19
    A.
    From
    a
    cursory
    review
    it
    looks
    like
    it
    is
    20
    what
    I submitted.
    21
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Okay.
    I would go ahead and
    22
    offer Respondent’s
    9 into evidence.

    Okay.
    Then
    it’s
    2
    admitted.
    3
    (Respondent’s
    Exhibit Number
    9
    4
    admitted.)
    5
    Q.
    Now,
    was
    a
    permit
    issued
    following
    the
    6
    submittal
    of
    that
    application?
    7
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    was.
    8
    Q.
    And
    let
    me
    hand
    you
    People’s
    Exhibit
    56.
    9
    Would
    that
    be
    the
    permit
    that
    was
    issued?
    10
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    11
    Q.
    Does
    that
    permit
    contain
    a
    groundwater
    12
    assessment
    program?
    13
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    does.
    14
    Q.
    Did
    your
    application
    contain
    a
    request
    for
    a
    15
    groundwater
    assessment
    program?
    16
    A.
    No,
    it
    did
    not.
    17
    Q.
    Where
    did
    the
    requirement
    in
    the
    permit
    come
    18
    from,
    if
    you
    know?
    19
    A.
    I
    have
    no idea.
    The Agency unilaterally
    20
    issued
    an
    assessment
    monitoring
    program
    without
    us
    21
    requesting
    it.
    22
    Q.
    Okay.
    What’s the status
    of that permit,
    23
    People’s
    56?
    24
    A.
    It’s
    under

    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    what
    the
    denial
    points
    of
    that
    --
    2
    do
    you
    know
    what
    the
    grounds
    are
    that
    Watts
    appealed
    3
    that permit?
    4
    A.
    We didn’t necessarily
    agree with
    the
    5
    groundwater
    monitoring
    assessment
    plan
    that
    the
    Agency
    6
    proposed.
    We
    are
    working
    on
    our
    own,
    and
    actually,
    it
    7
    has
    been
    submitted
    to
    the
    Agency
    in
    the
    Sig
    Mod,
    and,
    8
    you
    know,
    we
    felt
    that
    we
    want
    to
    be
    in
    control
    of,
    9
    you
    know,
    of
    the
    assessment
    process,
    you
    know,
    as
    10
    recommended
    by
    our
    consulting
    firms.
    11
    Q.
    Since
    the
    issuance
    of
    this
    permit,
    People’s
    12
    56,
    has Watts
    submitted any additional
    cost revisions?
    13
    A.
    Two
    additional
    ones
    since
    that’s
    been
    issued.
    14
    Q.
    When
    --
    describe
    for
    me
    those
    submittals.
    15
    A.
    One
    was
    submitted
    in
    March
    of
    ‘96
    that
    dealt
    16
    with
    the
    Gas
    Management
    Plan
    that
    we
    submitted
    to
    the
    17
    Agency.
    There
    was
    some
    additional
    cost
    associated
    for
    18
    closure
    of
    that
    activity
    and
    the
    postclosure
    care
    of
    19
    it.
    That
    application
    addressed
    those
    issues
    and
    those
    20
    costs.
    21
    Q.
    Now,
    has
    there
    been
    any
    other
    submittals
    22
    since then?
    23
    A.
    Yeah,
    just recently,

    8
    Q.
    Let’s
    shift gears
    and start
    talking
    about
    the
    9
    gas
    management
    system.
    10
    What’s
    your
    understanding
    of
    the
    term
    landfill
    11
    gas?
    12
    A.
    It’s gas that’s generated
    by decomposing
    13
    garbage
    that’s approximately
    50 percent methane.
    14
    There’s
    CO2.
    There’s
    nitrogen
    and
    various
    other
    15
    compounds
    that,
    you
    know,
    make
    up
    less
    than,
    you
    know,
    16
    one
    percent.
    17
    Q.
    Let
    me
    go
    back.
    What
    prior
    experience,
    if
    18
    any,
    do
    you
    have
    with
    landfill
    gas
    and
    landfill
    gas
    19
    management
    systems?
    20
    A.
    I’ve
    been
    involved
    with
    landfill
    gas
    projects
    21
    since
    1988
    on various
    landfills
    in
    the State
    of
    22
    Michigan.
    23
    Q.
    So
    your
    experience
    is
    not
    just
    related
    to
    24
    your experience
    at Watts?

    787
    A.
    No,
    it
    is
    not.
    Q.
    What
    are some
    of the other companies
    that
    you’ve
    had
    experience
    with?
    A.
    Wayne
    Disposal.
    I’ve
    been
    involved
    with
    an
    ongoing
    gas
    project.
    They
    have
    a
    450
    acre
    landfill
    in
    the
    Detroit
    area,
    and
    there
    was
    always
    need
    to
    install
    additional
    gas
    wells
    there,
    and
    so
    it
    was
    an
    ongoing
    project
    where
    we
    were
    installing
    wells
    and
    withdrawing
    the
    gas
    and
    generating
    electricity
    with
    the
    gas.
    Q.
    How
    is landfill
    gas generated?
    A.
    From
    the
    decomposition
    of
    garbage.
    Q.
    How does
    that process
    work,
    if you know?
    A.
    It’s
    an
    anaerobic
    process,
    just
    as
    the
    garbage
    decays
    it
    gives
    off,
    you
    know,
    methane
    and
    carbon
    dioxide.
    It’s
    just
    the
    --
    it’s
    a
    natural
    process
    of
    breaking
    down.
    You
    know,
    as
    anything
    starts
    to
    decay,
    it
    gives
    off
    methane.
    You
    know,
    in
    the
    forest,
    you
    know,
    the
    leaves
    they
    start
    decaying,
    they,
    you
    know,
    in
    an
    anaerobic
    condition
    they
    could
    break
    down
    and
    give
    off
    methane
    and
    carbon
    dioxide.
    Q.
    Have you smelled methane
    gas
    at the Taylor
    Ridge
    Landfill?
    A.
    Yes,
    I
    have.
    Q.
    Do you smell
    it every
    day?

    7
    Q.
    Did
    you
    prepare
    that
    submittal?
    8
    A.
    I was actively involved
    in the submittal
    and
    9
    I signed the application as
    a PE.

    Q.
    Describe
    the
    --
    how
    you
    were
    actively
    11
    involved
    with
    that.
    12
    A.
    RTC
    originally
    sent
    me
    an
    application
    that
    13
    they
    were
    going
    to
    send
    in
    on
    behalf
    of
    Watts.
    I
    14
    reviewed
    it.
    I
    told
    them
    it
    was
    unacceptable.
    I
    15
    started
    rewriting
    it.
    I
    probably
    rewrote,
    you
    know,
    16
    50
    to
    75
    percent
    of
    the
    application,
    sent
    it
    back
    to
    17
    RTC.
    They
    had
    their
    comments
    added
    to
    it
    and
    expanded
    18
    on
    the
    application,
    sent
    it
    back
    to
    me.
    I
    found
    it
    19
    acceptable
    and
    we
    submitted
    it
    to

    8
    management?
    9
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    was.
    I
    think
    it
    was
    issued
    in
    May
    or
    10
    June
    of
    ‘96.
    11
    Q.
    Let
    me
    show
    you
    People’s
    Exhibit
    2.
    Would
    12
    that
    be the permit?
    13
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    June
    --
    it
    was
    issued
    June
    13,
    14
    1996.
    15
    Q.
    Why
    don’t
    you
    take
    a
    look
    at
    Respondent’s
    10,
    16
    the
    permit
    application.
    Does
    that
    application
    contain
    17
    cost
    estimates?
    18
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    does.
    19
    Q.
    And what
    is that cost estimate?
    20
    A.
    Just
    for the gas portion the cost added
    21
    740,000
    dollars
    to the cost estimates
    for the site.
    22
    Q.
    And
    is
    that
    reflected
    in
    the
    gas
    permit
    that
    23
    was
    issued?
    24

    Yes,
    it
    is.
    They

    application
    we submitted
    in June
    --
    October
    of
    ‘95
    it
    was
    I
    think
    558,000
    dollars
    and
    this
    application
    raised
    it
    to
    like
    1.2

    3
    million

    Yeah.

    HEARING
    OFFICER

    Sustained.
    Q.
    What
    is your understanding
    of whose
    responsibility
    it
    is
    to
    obtain
    financial
    assurance?
    A.
    The
    responsibility
    rests
    with
    ESG
    Watts.
    We
    do have
    a contractual
    relationship with RTC that any
    and
    all
    activities
    that
    they
    perform
    on
    our
    site
    they
    are
    responsible
    for
    any
    financial
    repercussions
    for
    that,
    which
    would
    include
    the
    additional
    closure
    costs.
    Q.
    Watts’

    obtain
    A.
    But
    you
    understand
    under
    the
    law
    it’s
    ESG
    responsibility?
    Yes,
    I
    do.
    Have
    you
    been
    involved
    in
    any
    attempts
    to
    financial
    assurance?
    Yes,
    I
    have.

    Why

    you
    describe
    those
    for
    me?
    2
    A.
    Since
    the
    middle
    of
    1995
    I’ve
    been
    working
    3
    with
    a
    gentleman
    by
    the
    name
    of
    Jack
    Lawley
    who
    owns
    4
    Lawley
    Insurance
    Company.
    They’re
    out
    of
    Buffalo,
    New
    5
    York.
    We’ve
    been
    working
    on
    various
    programs
    that
    6
    would allow Watts
    to fund our trust
    funds
    or,
    I guess,
    7
    come
    up
    with
    another
    mechanism
    to
    meet
    the
    requirement
    B
    without having
    to have
    a trust
    fund where
    we have
    9
    large amounts
    of cash sitting
    in
    a bank.
    10
    Q.
    Does
    Watts
    currently
    have
    whatever
    it
    was
    in
    1.
    the
    permit,
    1.2
    million
    in
    financial
    assurance?
    12
    A.
    No,
    we
    do
    not.
    13
    Q.
    Were
    you
    involved
    in
    bringing
    RTC
    to
    the
    14
    landfill?
    15
    A.
    Yes,
    I
    was.
    16
    Q.
    Okay.
    Explain
    that
    for
    me.
    17
    A.
    Probably
    back
    shortly
    after
    I
    started
    working
    18
    at
    Watts
    in
    ‘91
    I
    --
    one
    of
    the
    things
    that
    was
    19
    identified
    that
    needed
    work
    was
    a
    Gas
    Management
    Plan,
    20
    and
    I
    was
    looking
    at
    various
    mechanisms
    to
    fund
    it,
    if
    21
    we
    could
    work
    out
    a
    joint
    venture
    with
    somebody
    or,
    22
    you know,
    get somebody to come
    in and install
    the
    23
    system,
    just
    a
    lot
    of
    different
    things.
    I
    probably
    24
    talked
    to
    about
    three
    or
    four
    different
    companies.
    We

    792
    1
    were
    in
    negotiations
    with
    one
    company
    for
    probably
    2
    more
    than
    a
    year
    before
    we
    approached
    RTC.
    Those
    3
    negotiations
    fell
    through.
    4
    Q.
    Okay.
    When
    did
    you
    approach
    RTC?
    5
    A.
    RTC
    was
    approached
    in
    December
    of
    ‘94.
    They
    6
    had
    contacted
    us
    probably
    six
    months
    prior
    to
    that
    and
    7
    I
    had
    told
    them
    I
    was
    in
    negotiations
    with
    a
    company
    8
    called
    Air
    Products,
    and
    at
    that
    time
    I
    said,
    you
    9
    know,
    I
    don’t
    want
    to
    be
    negotiating
    with
    two
    10
    different
    companies.
    If
    things
    don’t
    work
    out
    with
    11
    Air
    Products,
    I
    will
    contact
    you.
    And
    I
    contacted
    12
    them
    and
    it
    was
    December
    of
    ‘94.
    13
    Q.
    So
    for
    the
    preceding
    year,
    going
    back
    to
    14
    December
    --
    approximately
    December
    of
    ‘93
    you
    were
    15
    negotiating
    with
    this
    company
    called
    Air
    Products?
    16
    A.
    I
    started
    negotiations
    with
    Air
    Products
    in
    17
    December
    of
    ‘93.
    18
    Q.
    And
    the
    negotiations
    --
    the
    purpose
    of
    the
    19
    negotiations
    was
    what?
    20
    A.
    Were
    to
    determine
    what
    they
    would
    construct
    21
    on-site,
    how
    much
    it
    would
    cost,
    whose
    responsibility
    22
    it
    would
    be
    to
    --
    you
    know,
    just
    the
    money
    issues
    on,
    23
    you
    know,
    the
    cost
    of
    the
    site
    or
    the
    construction
    of
    24
    the system,
    the management
    of
    the system.
    And

    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525
    -6167

    793
    1
    basically
    what
    happened
    there
    is
    we
    had
    a
    contract
    2
    worked
    out
    with
    Air
    Products.
    We
    had
    signed
    it
    and
    3
    sent
    it
    off
    for
    them
    to
    sign
    it
    and
    they
    --
    their
    4
    legal
    department
    had some problems with
    them,
    so they
    5
    basically
    tossed
    the
    contract
    and
    they
    started
    from
    6
    scratch
    with
    a
    new
    one.
    I
    gave
    them
    a
    deadline
    to
    7
    have
    me
    a
    new
    one
    by
    on
    a
    certain
    date,
    and
    they
    8
    missed
    that
    deadline,
    and
    I
    started
    talking
    with
    RTC.
    9
    Q.
    And
    that
    would
    have
    been
    in
    December
    of
    ‘94?
    10
    A.
    December
    of
    ‘94.
    11
    Q.
    When
    --
    you
    do
    have
    a
    --
    Watts
    does
    have
    a
    12
    contract
    with
    RTC?
    13
    A.
    We’ve
    hired
    them
    as
    a
    contractor
    to
    construct
    14
    the
    gas
    management
    site
    -
    -
    gas
    management
    system
    on
    15
    our
    site.
    16
    Q.
    And
    when
    did
    you
    do
    that?
    17
    A.
    I
    think
    the
    contract
    was
    signed
    like
    in
    June
    18
    of
    ‘95.
    19
    Q.
    So
    -
    -
    and
    then
    what
    specifically
    were
    you
    20
    doing
    then
    between
    December
    of
    ‘94
    and
    June
    of
    ‘95?
    21
    A.
    Negotiations.
    22
    Q.
    What
    is
    your
    understanding
    of
    the
    term
    final

    At this site
    final

    in
    all areas
    that

    794
    1
    did
    not
    accept
    waste
    after
    I
    think
    it
    was
    in
    October
    2
    of
    ‘93,
    if
    they
    had
    --
    it’s
    two
    feet
    of
    final
    cover.
    3
    I
    think
    it’s
    referred
    in
    the
    regs
    as
    a
    low
    4
    permeability
    layer
    and
    then
    six
    inches
    of
    topsoil
    or
    5
    soil
    to
    sustain
    vegetative
    growth.
    6
    Q.
    Does
    Taylor
    Ridge
    have
    final
    cover?
    7
    A.
    In
    a
    lot
    of
    areas
    it
    does.
    8
    Q.
    I’m
    sorry?
    9
    A.
    In
    a
    lot
    of
    areas
    it
    does.
    Probably
    90
    10
    percent
    of
    the
    closed
    portion
    of
    the
    site
    has
    final
    11
    cover.
    12
    Q.
    Has
    that
    cover
    been
    certified?
    13
    A.
    We
    hired
    a
    firm
    to
    do
    a
    certification.
    14
    They’re
    in
    the
    process
    of
    doing
    that.
    They
    have
    15
    completed
    the
    thickness
    portion
    of
    it
    and
    they
    have
    16
    determined
    that
    90
    percent
    of
    the
    site
    has
    that
    17
    minimum
    thickness
    as
    required,
    but
    the
    certification
    18
    is
    not
    complete
    due
    --
    the
    soil
    has
    to
    meet
    certain
    19
    requirements.
    20
    Q.
    Who
    did
    you
    retain
    to
    do
    the
    testing
    out
    21
    there?
    22
    A.
    There’s
    two
    different
    firms
    that
    we’re
    under
    23
    a
    contract
    with
    to
    do
    work.
    Actually,
    there’s

    6
    Q.

    is Able Technologies doing?

    A.
    Able Technologies,
    they are performing
    the

    I guess providing
    the PE stamp.
    It has
    to
    be

    by
    a professional
    engineer.
    The
    10
    relationship
    --
    Noble Earth
    is doing a
    lot of the
    11
    field work and Able Technologies,
    they’ve been on-site
    12
    a
    couple
    times
    to
    review
    their
    field
    activities,
    and
    13
    Able Technologies
    relies
    on the information
    supplied
    14
    by Noble Earth Corporation
    to certify the cover.
    15
    Indeco
    is doing
    all the laboratory
    testing for the
    16
    soil
    cover.
    And Able Technologies
    will also rely on
    17
    that
    information
    to certify the cover.

    Let

    ruling?
    2

    The judge
    at the time issued an order that

    When was that document prepared?
    5

    It was shortly after

    6
    the judge’s ruling was issued
    in, you know,
    September
    7
    of

    it that
    fall.

    Did you prepare

    A.
    I helped prepare
    it.
    I didn’t do
    it
    10
    completely.
    It was
    a joint
    effort by myself
    and Tom

    12
    Q.
    Who’s
    Tom

    Q.
    Have you submitted
    that document
    to the
    6
    Agency?
    7
    A.
    I think we’ve
    supplied
    it
    to them.
    Not as
    a
    8
    formal
    application.
    You know,
    not like
    in
    a
    9
    supplemental
    permit,
    but
    it
    has
    been
    supplied
    to
    10
    Agency personnel.
    11
    Q.
    Do you keep
    a copy of this document
    at the
    12
    landfill?
    13
    A.
    It’s
    kept
    in
    our
    operating
    record.
    14
    Q.
    What’s
    the operating
    record?
    15
    A.
    The operating
    record
    is
    a record that’s
    16
    required by Subtitle
    D regulations
    that were imposed
    17
    by the federal
    government
    and the Illinois EPA has
    18
    adopted
    a
    lot
    of
    those
    regulations.
    One
    of
    the
    things
    19
    is
    an
    operating
    record
    where
    you
    keep
    all
    the
    20
    information
    that
    you
    develop
    on
    the
    site.
    You
    know,
    21
    there’s
    various
    things
    that
    have
    to
    be

    10
    Q.
    Have
    you
    ever
    seen
    that
    document
    before?
    11
    A.
    First
    time
    I
    saw
    it
    was
    today
    when
    Mr.

    Grothus
    looked
    at
    it.
    13
    Q.
    You
    never

    a

    of
    this
    at
    the

    15
    A.
    No,
    I
    have
    not.
    16
    Q.
    Let
    me
    just
    hand
    you
    a
    copy
    of

    14.
    Can
    you
    identify
    that
    for
    me,

    18
    A.
    It’s
    a

    of

    on
    April
    16th,

    20
    Q.
    Does
    that
    permit
    require
    Watts
    to
    maintain
    a

    Storm
    Water
    Pollution
    Prevention

    22
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    does.
    There’s
    a

    a

    in

    4
    of

    5
    Q.
    Has
    that

    been

    since

    time?
    6
    A.
    I
    think
    there
    are
    still
    changes
    that
    we’re
    7
    making
    on
    it,
    but
    for
    the
    most
    part
    it’s
    probably
    90
    8
    percent
    complete.
    We’re
    still
    complying
    with
    the
    9
    portions
    that
    we
    feel
    are
    pertinent
    in
    the
    plan.
    10
    Q.
    Where
    is
    that

    kept
    physically?
    11

    It’s
    kept
    in
    the

    at
    the

    landfill.
    13
    Q.
    Do
    you
    rely
    upon
    that

    14
    A.
    Yes,
    we
    do.

    on

    Yes,
    he did.
    23

    Do you recall

    he testified that
    no one

    Would

    there

    to

    On

    002,
    and
    then
    the
    next
    14
    paragraph
    is
    Falsification
    of
    DMRs.
    No
    discharge
    is

    usually
    reported
    for

    16
    Now,
    Mr.

    have
    you
    ever
    intentionally
    17
    falsified
    any
    DMRs?
    18
    A.
    No,
    I
    have
    not.
    19
    Q.
    Can
    you
    explain
    why
    you
    were

    20
    writing
    no
    discharge
    for
    outfalls
    --
    for
    outfall
    001?
    21
    A.
    It was my understanding
    from the permit
    that
    22
    that
    outfall was for ponded storm water that we
    23
    discharged
    from
    the
    site,
    and
    at
    that
    point,
    you
    know,
    24
    we
    stopped
    collecting
    ponded
    storm
    water
    and,

    You
    know,
    my

    to
    our
    operating
    people,
    if
    at
    any
    time
    3
    they
    ever
    pump
    water
    from
    our
    site,
    they
    were
    to
    4
    inform
    me
    so
    we
    could
    obtain
    a
    sample.
    And
    every
    time
    5
    that
    I’ve
    been
    informed
    that
    we
    were
    pumping
    water
    6
    from

    we
    obtained
    a

    Q.
    It
    also
    says
    a
    failure
    to
    monitor
    or
    8
    apparently
    you
    wrote
    no
    discharge
    on
    outfall
    002
    as
    9
    well.
    Can
    you
    explain
    that
    for
    me,
    please?
    10
    A.
    I
    guess
    basically
    it
    was
    ignorance
    on
    my
    11
    part.
    Looking
    at
    it,
    we
    should
    have
    been
    doing
    that.
    12
    I
    took
    aver
    a
    program
    that
    was
    in
    existence,
    and
    I
    13
    tried
    to
    sort
    out
    and
    figure
    out
    what
    we
    had
    to
    do.
    14
    Nobody
    had
    been
    monitoring
    002
    before
    I’d
    been
    there.
    15
    You
    know,
    we
    were
    never
    cited
    as,
    you
    know,
    we
    were
    16
    doing
    anything
    wrong,
    so
    I
    continued
    the
    program
    that
    17
    was
    in
    existence.

    It’s
    a

    modified
    NPDES
    permit
    to
    discharge
    into
    waters
    of
    the
    23
    State.
    It’s
    stamped
    the date
    is May
    4th,
    1990.
    At
    24
    the time
    it was my understanding
    this was our permit,

    but
    it’s
    since
    come
    to
    our
    attention
    that
    this
    permit
    2
    was
    never
    issued
    and
    that
    it’s
    always
    been
    a
    draft.
    3
    This
    permit
    was
    never
    denied,
    but
    it
    was
    just
    never
    4
    issued
    either.
    5
    Q.
    Have
    you
    relied
    upon
    that
    permit?
    6
    A.
    Yes,
    I
    did.
    7
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    I
    would
    go
    ahead
    and
    offer

    Respondent’s

    Do
    you
    have
    a
    copy
    of
    12
    that
    for us?
    13
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Yeah,
    you
    should
    have
    that
    in
    14
    your
    stack.
    15
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    Charlie,
    you
    can
    give
    us
    16
    a
    copy
    of
    that
    later.
    I
    think
    we’ve
    seen
    this
    17
    document
    before.
    18
    MR.

    You
    have?
    19
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    Well,
    I
    assume
    it’s
    in
    20
    the Agency
    files.
    21
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Well,
    yeah,
    I would assume
    so.
    22
    Do you want
    to take
    a look
    at
    it?
    23
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I believe

    However,
    for
    the
    record
    I
    would
    say
    this
    is
    2
    not
    a
    permit.
    It
    was
    never
    issued
    as
    a
    NPDES
    permit,
    3
    and
    I
    would
    object
    to
    any
    reference
    to
    this
    document
    4
    as
    a

    OFFICER

    I
    think
    Mr.

    has
    6
    made
    it
    clear
    that
    and
    Mr.
    Northrup
    through
    what
    7
    they’ve
    already
    stated
    that
    it’s
    a
    draft
    document.
    8
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    Okay.
    That’s
    fine.
    I
    9
    just
    wanted
    to
    make
    sure
    it
    was
    clear

    the

    on

    Uh-huh.
    19
    Q.
    The
    first
    one
    monitor
    per
    1986
    permit.
    Since
    20
    that
    February
    14
    inspection
    of
    ‘94
    have
    you,
    in
    fact,
    21
    been
    monitoring
    per
    the
    1986
    permit?
    22
    A.
    We
    have
    relied
    an
    the
    1986
    permit
    as
    our
    23
    guidance
    to
    monitor
    for
    the
    NPDES
    discharge.
    24
    Q.
    Okay.
    And
    prior
    to
    --
    well,
    it
    says

    1
    discussed
    during
    the
    inspection.
    Who
    did
    you
    have
    2
    this
    discussion
    with?
    3
    A.
    This
    discussion
    was
    held
    with
    James
    4
    Kammueller
    S
    Q.
    And
    prior
    to
    this
    time
    apparently
    you
    were
    B
    not relying
    on the
    ‘86 permit?
    7
    A.
    No,
    I
    was
    not.
    8
    Q.
    And
    what
    permit
    were
    you
    relying
    on?
    9
    A.
    I
    was
    relying
    --
    10
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I’m
    going
    to
    object
    11
    again.
    You’re
    calling
    it
    a
    permit.
    12
    Q.
    What
    document
    were
    you
    relying
    on
    prior
    to
    13
    this
    discussion?
    14
    A.
    I
    was
    relying
    on
    the
    draft
    document
    from
    May
    15
    of
    1990.
    16
    Q.
    Okay.
    But
    -.
    and
    what
    did
    Mr.
    Kammueller
    say
    17
    about
    that?
    18
    A.
    He
    told
    me
    I
    was
    incorrect
    that
    that
    19
    permit
    --
    20
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    That
    document.
    21
    A.
    That
    document
    --
    actually,
    at
    that
    time
    22
    during
    the
    inspection
    when
    I
    showed
    him
    that,
    he
    was
    23
    unaware
    of
    it
    and
    did
    not
    know
    of
    its
    existence.
    He
    24
    was
    only
    aware
    of
    the
    permit
    from
    1986.
    If
    I
    CAPITOL
    REPORTING
    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525-6167

    806
    recollect
    correctly,
    he
    did
    do
    a
    file
    search
    and
    he
    cleared
    up,
    you
    know,
    that
    --
    at
    the
    inspection
    he
    was
    pretty
    confident
    that
    a
    permit
    was
    never
    issued
    for
    that,
    but
    he
    said
    that
    he
    would
    review
    the
    files
    to
    make
    sure,
    and
    he
    did
    call
    me
    and
    tell
    me
    that
    one
    was
    never
    issued.
    Q.
    So again,
    since
    that conversation
    you have
    been
    monitoring
    per
    the
    1986
    NPDES
    permit?
    A.
    That,
    and,
    you
    know,
    the
    permit
    --
    there’s
    --
    you
    know,
    the
    Code
    of
    Federal
    Regulations
    that
    expand
    upon
    the
    permit,
    too.
    There’s
    other
    information
    in
    there
    that
    we’re
    required
    to
    and
    I
    rely
    on
    that
    also.
    Q.
    Okay.
    What other information would
    that
    be?
    A.
    Just
    there’s
    basically
    sampling
    procedures.
    It
    expands
    upon
    the
    permit.
    You
    know,
    the
    proper
    methods
    for
    analytical,
    retention
    times.
    There’s
    a
    lot
    more
    definitions
    in
    the
    Code
    of
    Federal
    Regulations.
    You
    know,
    what
    constitutes
    a
    sampling
    event,
    stuff
    like
    that.
    Q.
    Are you today
    relying
    on this 1986 permit?
    A.
    No,
    we’re
    not.
    Q.
    And
    why
    not?
    A.
    A
    new
    permit
    has
    been
    issued
    by
    the
    Division
    of

    Q.
    Number
    2
    under
    recommendations,
    in
    fact,
    says
    3
    submit
    a
    revised
    NPDES
    permit
    renewal
    application?
    4
    A.
    We
    did
    that.
    I’d
    also
    like
    to
    point
    out
    that
    5
    there
    was
    another
    application
    submitted
    in
    1991
    that
    6
    the
    Agency
    never
    acted
    on.
    7
    Q.
    Okay.
    Well,
    when
    did
    Watts
    submit
    a
    renewal
    8
    application
    for
    their
    NPDES
    permit?
    9
    A.
    It was
    in February
    of
    1991.
    10
    Q.
    Okay.
    11
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Is
    this
    renewal
    of
    12
    the
    1986
    permit?
    13
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    It’s
    a
    renewal
    of
    the
    1986
    14
    permit
    15
    0.
    Okay.
    And
    what
    happened
    to
    that
    permit
    16
    application?
    17
    A.
    Shortly
    after
    James
    Kammueller
    came
    out
    to
    18
    the
    site,
    the
    Agency
    sent
    us
    a
    letter
    --
    which
    would
    19
    have
    been,
    you
    know,
    in
    February
    1994,
    the
    Agency
    sent
    20
    us
    a
    letter
    with
    the
    notice
    of
    the
    intent
    to
    deny
    that
    21
    permit.
    That
    permit
    was
    never
    denied.
    We
    requested
    22
    that
    we
    withdraw
    the
    permit
    from
    the
    Agency.
    They
    23
    felt
    it
    wasn’t
    representative
    of
    what
    was
    happening
    on
    24
    the
    site.
    When
    I
    got
    the
    letter,
    I
    called
    Rick
    CAPITOL

    Pinneo.
    I
    don’t
    think
    that
    he
    issued
    the
    letter.
    It
    2
    was
    issued
    by
    Thomas
    McSwiggin.
    But
    I
    think
    it
    said
    3
    please
    contact
    Rick
    Pinneo.
    I
    contacted
    Mr.
    Pinneo,
    4
    who
    works
    in
    the
    Division
    of
    Water,
    and
    I
    asked
    him,
    5
    you
    know,
    “What’s
    this
    about?”
    He
    says,
    “Well,
    we
    6
    don’t
    feel
    it’s
    representative
    of
    what’s
    happening
    7
    with
    the
    site.”
    I
    said,
    “Are
    you
    going
    to
    deny
    this
    8
    permit
    or
    is
    there
    an
    opportunity
    for
    us
    to
    work
    this
    9
    out?”
    And
    Rick
    says,
    “Hey,
    you
    know,
    come
    on
    down,
    10
    let’s
    set
    up
    a
    meeting,
    and
    we’ll
    work
    something
    out.”
    11
    He
    was
    very
    cooperative,
    very
    helpful.
    And
    we
    held
    a
    12
    meeting
    shortly
    after
    that
    to
    come
    up
    with
    a
    new
    NPDES
    13
    permit
    that
    reflects
    the
    activities
    at
    the
    site.
    14
    Q.
    Did
    you
    then
    make
    a
    resubmittal?
    15
    A.
    Yes,
    we
    did.
    16
    Q.
    And
    what
    has
    happened
    to
    that
    resubmittal?
    17
    A.
    There
    was
    a
    permit
    issued
    based
    upon
    that
    18
    application.
    It
    was
    a
    little
    different
    than
    what
    we
    19
    applied
    for.
    20
    Q.
    Under
    number
    3
    the
    recommendation
    talks
    about
    21

    and

    Water
    Pollution
    Prevention
    Plan.
    Now,
    have
    you
    done
    23
    that?
    24
    A.
    Yes,

    various

    they
    requested
    a

    of
    different

    4
    for
    us
    to

    that

    that they requested
    that
    we do, and we immediately

    14
    we’ve

    a
    local
    farmer
    who
    has
    come
    out
    15
    and
    he’s
    vegetated,
    you

    our

    16

    We

    seeder.
    You

    we’ve
    had

    employees

    also
    go

    you

    put

    seed
    on
    19
    various
    areas

    water
    runoff.
    Q.
    Where have these berms been constructed?
    A.
    There
    was
    one
    in
    particular
    that
    was
    a
    major
    project
    that
    we
    worked
    on
    was
    --
    it
    was
    constructed
    on
    --
    it
    would
    have
    been
    like
    the
    west
    slope
    and
    it
    would
    have
    been
    in
    the
    center
    of
    the
    landfill,
    kind
    of
    like
    in
    the
    active
    portion,
    and
    everything
    that
    fell
    like
    on
    the
    top
    and
    went
    east
    toward
    the
    active
    area
    it
    was
    caught
    by
    this
    berm
    and
    diverted
    toward
    outfall
    001
    and
    away
    from
    the
    active
    area.
    You
    know,
    it’s
    something
    that
    --
    we’ve
    put
    silt
    fences
    on
    that
    berm
    to
    slow
    the
    water
    down
    as
    it
    goes.
    We’ve
    placed
    bales
    of
    hay
    there.
    We’ve
    constructed
    or
    we’ve
    placed
    bales
    of
    hay
    that
    we
    take
    large
    fence
    posts
    and
    we
    nail
    them
    down
    into
    the
    ground.
    We’ve
    done
    that
    along
    the
    west
    road
    headed
    toward
    Whitley’s
    pond.
    We’ve
    done
    it,
    you
    know,
    all
    in
    that
    general
    area.
    We’ve,
    you
    know,
    constructed
    silt
    fences
    over
    in
    that
    northwest
    area
    and
    just
    about
    anywhere
    where
    we
    see
    an
    erosional
    problem
    we
    will
    put
    up
    a
    silt
    fence
    or
    a
    bale
    of
    hay
    or
    straw
    to
    slow
    down
    the
    runoff.
    Q.
    With respect
    to the seeding and vegetation,
    how
    effective
    has
    that
    been?
    A.
    It
    depends.
    A
    lot
    of
    it
    is
    a
    timing
    issue.

    you

    and
    it
    grows,
    it’s

    effective.
    But
    if
    you
    get
    a

    rainstorm,
    it
    will
    4
    wash
    all
    the
    seed
    away
    before
    it
    has
    a
    chance
    to
    5
    germinate
    and
    take
    hold.
    Or
    sometimes
    you
    might
    go
    a
    6
    period
    where
    you
    don’t
    get
    any
    rain
    and
    you
    get
    hardly
    7
    any
    growth
    because
    of
    the
    lack
    of
    rain.
    But,
    you
    8
    know,
    when
    it
    is
    able
    to
    grow
    under

    conditions,
    we’re

    they
    said
    that
    was
    not
    something
    that
    they
    were
    2
    allowed
    to
    permit,
    that
    was
    a
    Division
    of
    Land
    issue.
    3
    You
    know,
    they
    did
    want
    to
    see
    sed
    ponds,
    but
    it
    was
    4
    not
    in
    their
    power
    to
    permit
    the
    location
    and
    the
    5
    design.
    That
    was
    solely
    up
    to
    the
    Division
    of
    Land.
    6
    And
    I
    think
    CH2M-Hill
    came
    up
    with
    a
    couple
    of
    designs
    7
    where
    they
    used
    a
    synthetic
    liner
    over
    closed
    portions
    8
    of
    the
    landfill
    to
    try
    to
    collect
    runoff
    and
    store
    it
    9
    for
    retention
    time
    to
    allow
    the
    sedimentation
    to
    fall
    10
    out
    and
    then
    we
    could
    discharge
    it.
    But
    the
    Division
    11
    of
    Land,
    you
    know,
    in
    initial
    discussions
    they
    said
    12
    that
    was
    not
    a
    good
    idea
    and
    they
    don’t
    think
    that
    13
    they
    would
    approve
    it,
    so
    we
    didn’t,
    you
    know,
    proceed
    14
    with
    that
    avenue.
    15
    0.
    What
    other
    avenues
    then
    have
    you
    proceeded
    16
    with,
    if
    any?
    17
    A.
    Well,
    basically
    just,
    you
    know,
    trying
    to
    18
    construct,
    you
    know,
    the
    berms
    and
    stuff
    to
    slow
    down
    19
    the
    water
    and,
    you
    know,
    the
    seeding.
    Just

    to

    control,
    you

    sources
    and
    direct
    the
    water
    21
    where
    we
    want
    it
    to
    go.
    You
    know,
    water
    is
    a
    pretty
    22
    strong
    force
    of
    nature
    and
    it

    what
    it

    a

    “Erosion control methods

    4
    should include
    riprap,
    silt fences and vegetative
    5
    cover.”
    6
    You know,
    we have
    silt fences all over the site.
    7
    You know,
    it’s
    an ongoing process where,
    you know,
    8
    we’ve placed the silt fences.
    We are exploring
    other
    9
    options
    at this
    time
    to slow down and control
    the
    10
    runoff.
    You know,
    we have
    seeded.
    We have also used
    11
    --
    we
    were
    written
    up
    for
    this,
    but
    we
    were
    using
    wood
    12
    chips
    to control erosion
    on our interior
    roads.
    We
    13
    were
    cited
    for uncovered
    refuse for using wood chips.
    14
    We argued that with
    the inspector
    that
    the wood chips
    15
    were
    not
    waste.
    They
    were
    something
    that

    of,
    you know,
    it’s
    a
    commodity
    that
    we had paid for to
    17
    use for that purpose,
    and we paid for the trucking

    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    If
    I can just interpose
    20
    an objection
    here.
    I don’t
    think this
    is necessarily
    21
    responsive
    to the question asked.
    This gets
    into
    22
    stuff we talked about before.
    It’s not
    in response
    to
    23
    efforts
    they’ve taken
    to comply with Subpart
    3
    C.
    24
    MR. NORTHRUP:
    I would
    say that’s
    true
    to
    a

    certain extent.
    But
    if you look
    at Subpart
    F,
    they do
    2
    get into that
    issue
    of somehow
    surfacing
    the perimeter
    3
    road and borrow road.
    So if
    he doesn’t get
    into
    it
    4
    now,
    he’ll talk about
    it then.

    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    I think for the
    6
    transcript
    for the Board
    it would be much better
    if
    he
    7
    specifically
    talks about
    each section
    as
    we go through
    8
    it,
    especially
    since he’s reading the part out loud.
    9
    So
    if you can stick
    to the one that you’re
    on.
    10
    Q.
    Were you finished with
    C then?
    11
    A.
    Yes.

    devices.”
    14
    We did contact
    various vendors
    of measurement,
    you
    15
    know,
    flow measuring devices.
    You know,
    one
    of
    the
    16
    firms was IOSCO,
    which
    is
    I-O-S-C-O,
    or something
    like
    17
    that.
    There
    was another firm
    that
    we had them come
    18
    out and do a demonstration
    at the facility
    to try to
    19
    see
    if their devices would work for our situation.

    interject.
    You
    do
    not
    have
    any
    22

    at the landfill,
    is that correct?
    23
    A.
    No,
    we do not.
    24
    Q.
    Okay.
    So what
    situation
    are you talking

    about
    that these people came
    out to discuss

    3
    A.
    We tried
    to have
    open channel
    flow meters,
    4
    which
    he recommended.
    5
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Who he?
    6
    A.
    Mr.
    Kammueller.
    He recommended
    open channel
    7
    flow measurement
    devices leaving
    a sedimentation pond.
    8
    We did not have sedimentation
    ponds,
    but we looked
    for
    9
    something
    that could be used
    in the open channels,
    a
    10
    ditch
    that we could place
    the device that would
    11
    measure
    flow leaving our site.
    And the two vendors
    12
    that
    came
    out
    to
    the
    facility
    their
    application
    would
    13
    not work
    in our situation.
    14
    0.
    Okay.
    Anything else with D?
    15

    No.

    “The landfill perimeter
    road elevation
    should
    18
    be increased
    to accommodate construction
    of defined
    19
    storm water ditches/conduits.
    Use of the road surface
    20
    as
    a storm water conveyance
    should be discontinued.”
    21
    We have

    There

    higher,
    we would block
    a drainage pathway coming from
    2
    Mr. Whitley’s
    property
    to the west
    of
    us that drains
    3
    down that road.
    And,
    you know,
    we don’t
    want
    to block
    4
    that and back up water
    on his property.
    But for the
    5
    most
    part we’ve
    added additional
    soil around the
    6
    perimeter roads.
    7
    And one of the problems,
    you know,
    we run heavy
    8
    equipment
    on the roads and
    it
    is an ongoing process
    9
    where
    we always
    have
    to add additional
    soil.
    The
    10
    heavy equipment
    will tend
    to beat the roads
    down and
    11
    so we
    do have
    to add more
    soil occasionally
    to keep
    it
    12
    up higher.

    There’s
    a
    lot
    of
    different
    reasons
    why
    we
    used
    that.
    2
    One
    was
    to
    reduce
    the
    erosion.
    Other
    reasons
    are
    it

    It prevents mud from tracking

    onto

    to

    were

    for
    not
    having
    a

    for
    that.
    We
    were
    6
    also
    told
    that,
    you
    know,
    what’s
    the
    difference
    if
    we
    7
    purchase
    rock
    for
    the
    road
    or
    if
    we
    purchase
    wood
    B
    chips
    to use as
    a road material,
    and we were told that
    9
    you don’t
    have
    a permit
    for that either,
    you know,
    so
    10
    it

    and
    mud

    12
    we

    a
    sample.
    4
    You
    know,
    we’ve
    gone
    over,
    you
    know,
    compositing
    5
    samples.
    You
    know,
    we’re
    not
    always
    able
    to
    composite
    6
    samples
    as required by the permit.
    You know,
    a storm
    7
    event
    might
    only
    last
    for,
    you
    know,
    an
    hour.
    We
    do
    B
    not
    know
    --
    you
    know,
    we
    know
    when
    the
    storm
    starts
    9
    but
    we
    won’t
    necessarily
    know
    when
    the
    middle
    of
    the
    10
    storm
    is
    and
    the
    end
    of
    the
    storm,
    you
    know,
    but
    we
    11
    try
    to
    do
    the
    best
    we
    can.
    12
    These
    permits
    were
    originally
    set
    up
    for
    13
    discharges
    at
    wastewater
    treatment
    plants,
    and,
    you
    14
    know,
    they
    control
    their
    discharges
    very
    closely,
    you
    15
    know,
    at
    the
    times
    when
    they
    do
    it.
    So
    they
    are
    able
    16
    to,
    you
    know,
    plan
    ahead
    to
    collect
    their
    samples.
    We
    17
    are
    not
    afforded
    that
    opportunity
    unless
    we
    are
    18
    pumping
    the
    water
    and
    we
    know
    how
    long
    we’re
    going
    to
    19
    pump
    it.
    Then
    we
    are
    able
    to
    collect
    the
    composites
    20
    as
    required.
    21
    Q.
    What
    are
    the
    requirements
    regarding
    22
    compositing
    or
    collecting
    composite
    samples?
    What
    23
    does
    the
    permit
    require?
    24
    A.
    You
    are
    supposed
    to
    collect
    three
    equal

    822
    1
    aliquots.
    And
    I
    think
    an
    aliquot
    is
    100
    milliliters,
    2
    which really isn’t
    very much water.
    We collect quite
    3
    a bit more than that
    for our sampling.
    You know,
    4
    there
    is
    usually
    three
    or
    four
    bottles
    that
    we
    5
    collect.
    Some
    have
    preservatives
    in
    it.
    And
    I
    should
    6
    clarify
    that.
    Our
    permit
    has
    recently
    changed
    and
    I’m
    7
    not
    real
    familiar
    with
    the
    permit
    that
    was
    recently
    8
    issued
    and,
    you
    know,
    and
    I
    don’t
    know,
    you
    know,
    what
    9
    the bottles
    are that
    are set up for that and I’m just
    10
    talking
    about
    for
    the
    ‘86
    permit.
    11
    Q.
    ‘86
    or
    ‘96?
    12
    A.
    ‘86
    permit.
    What
    I’m
    familiar
    with.
    I
    have
    13
    --
    I
    really
    have
    not
    updated
    myself
    on
    the
    ‘96
    permit,
    14
    Nikki
    Wuestenberg
    has
    been
    handling
    that.
    15
    Q.
    You
    said
    individuals
    at
    the
    landfill
    have
    16
    been
    trained
    and
    instructed
    on
    how
    to
    collect
    samples?
    17
    A.
    Yeah.
    18
    Q.
    Who
    did
    the
    training?
    19
    A.
    Basically,
    I
    sat
    down
    with
    a
    gentleman
    by
    the
    20
    name
    of
    Joe
    Chenoweth,
    who
    handles
    a
    lot
    of
    these
    type
    21
    of
    things.
    I’m
    not
    at
    the
    site
    100
    percent
    of
    the
    22
    time.
    You
    know,
    I
    spend
    a
    lot
    of
    time
    traveling
    23
    around
    to
    various
    company
    operations.
    You
    know,
    I’m
    24
    probably
    at
    the
    landfill,
    you
    know,
    60
    percent
    of
    the
    CAPITOL

    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525-6167

    B23
    1
    time,
    75
    percent
    of
    the
    time.
    And,
    you
    know,
    that
    2
    other
    25
    percent
    when
    I
    was
    not
    there,
    I
    spent
    time
    3
    with
    Mr.
    Chenoweth
    explaining
    to
    him
    the
    proper
    4
    procedures
    for
    collecting
    samples
    and
    about
    5
    compositing
    samples
    during
    the
    storm
    events.
    And
    like
    6
    I
    said,
    most
    of
    the
    time
    he
    had
    trouble
    --
    I
    mean
    7
    there
    have
    been
    occasions
    where
    we
    have
    been
    able
    to
    8
    collect
    a
    sample
    from
    one
    of
    the
    discharges,
    but
    by
    9
    the
    time
    we
    get
    to
    the
    other
    side
    of
    the
    landfill
    to
    10
    collect
    the
    discharge,
    the
    rain
    event
    has
    stopped
    and
    11
    there
    is
    no
    discharge
    on
    the
    other
    side.
    So
    it’s
    a
    12
    difficult
    permit
    to
    comply
    with.

    you’re

    19
    A.
    I
    understand.
    20
    Q.
    Now,
    were you present
    when Mr. Kammueller
    21
    testified
    in the first
    two days
    of this hearing?
    22
    A.
    Yes,
    I
    was.
    23
    Q.
    Do you remember him testifying
    to his belief
    24
    that the February
    ‘94 DMR5 had been falsified?

    1
    A.
    Yes,
    I
    do.
    2
    Q.
    In those DNRs
    it was reported
    no discharge?
    3
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    4
    Q.
    Did you falsify those DMRs?
    5
    A.
    No,
    I
    did
    not.
    6
    Q.
    Why was there
    in your opinion
    no discharge?
    7
    A.
    There’s
    a
    couple
    reasons.
    First
    of
    all,
    I
    B
    tried
    to
    obtain
    a
    sample
    after
    Mr.
    Kammueller
    left.
    9
    By the time
    I was able
    to get some bottles for
    10
    sampling
    and
    went
    out
    to
    the
    site,
    there
    was
    just
    11
    hardly
    anything,
    you
    know,
    just
    a
    trickle
    and
    I
    just
    12
    --
    it was difficult
    to obtain
    a sample.
    13
    Mr.
    Kammueller,
    he
    obtained
    like
    from
    outfall
    002
    14
    he
    obtained
    a
    sample
    approximately
    200
    feet
    from
    the
    15
    property
    line,
    you
    know,
    in
    the
    middle
    on
    the
    south
    16
    side
    of
    the
    landfill.
    He
    collected
    it
    from
    a
    small
    17
    depression
    in
    a
    haul
    road
    where
    the
    water
    was
    lB
    collecting.
    It
    was
    a
    very
    small
    amount.
    He
    did
    not
    19
    collect
    that
    sample
    as
    required
    by
    our
    permit.
    You
    20
    know,
    it did not
    --
    that
    water
    was
    not
    leaving
    the
    21
    site.
    You know,
    and again,
    you know,
    he’s been
    a
    22
    stickler on
    like compositing
    samples
    from the
    23
    beginning,
    middle,
    and
    end
    of
    the
    storm.
    He
    pulled
    a
    24
    grab
    sample.
    Mr.
    Kammueller
    never
    --
    did
    not
    document

    that
    the
    storm
    event
    was
    greater
    than
    or
    the
    discharge
    2
    was greater than
    .1 inches.
    And
    in my belief
    I do not
    3
    feel
    that
    the
    discharge
    was
    greater
    than
    a
    tenth
    of
    an
    4
    inch,
    you know,
    of snowfall melt.
    A tenth
    of
    an inch
    5
    of
    snowfall
    melt
    is
    the
    equivalent
    of
    one
    inch
    of
    6
    rain.
    One
    inch
    of
    rain
    is
    a
    pretty
    big
    storm
    event.
    7
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Did
    you
    say
    a
    tenth
    8
    of
    an
    inch
    of
    snowfall
    melt
    is
    equivalent
    to
    one
    inch
    9
    of
    rain?
    10
    A.
    The
    ratio
    is
    considered
    one
    to
    ten.
    11
    0.
    Where
    does
    that
    .1
    inch
    come
    from
    that
    you’re
    12
    talking about?
    13
    A.
    It’s
    in
    the
    CFR,
    the
    Code
    of
    Federal
    14
    Regulations,
    on
    NPDES
    discharge
    permits.
    It
    was
    not
    15
    in
    our
    original
    1986
    permit
    for
    --
    but
    it
    is
    --
    you
    16
    know,
    it
    was
    a
    requirement
    in
    the
    CFR
    and
    it
    was
    17
    something
    that
    was
    added
    to
    our
    most
    recent
    NPDES
    18
    permit
    that
    was
    issued.
    That
    is
    a

    condition
    19
    there,
    a
    tenth
    of
    an
    inch.
    20
    Q.
    What
    procedures
    do
    you
    have
    in
    place
    now
    to

    22
    A.
    Under the current
    permit Nikki Wuestenberg
    is
    23
    handling most
    of
    that.
    I am
    familiar
    with
    what’s
    24
    going
    on,
    having discussions
    with her
    on it,

    1
    not actively involved.
    Basically any time we see any
    2
    type
    of precipitation,
    you know,
    rainfall
    or
    if
    we
    3
    feel that there
    could be snowmelt
    leaving
    the site,
    4
    Joe Chenoweth
    is
    instructed
    --
    he knows
    to do this on
    5
    his own,
    we don’t have
    to go out and say,
    “It’s
    6
    raining,
    Joe,
    go look.”
    Joe has already gone and
    7
    looked to see if there
    is any precipitation
    leaving
    8
    the site,
    any runoff
    leaving the site.
    If his first
    9
    inspection
    he doesn’t see any,
    he will
    go back,
    you
    10
    know,
    half
    hour
    later,
    you know,
    an hour
    later.
    He
    11
    will keep looking
    at the outfalls to see what
    type of
    12
    runoff
    is leaving the site,
    if
    at all any is leaving.
    13
    He is then instructed
    to collect
    a sample
    of the
    14
    runoff and he’s supposed
    to go back and collect
    15
    additional
    samples periodically
    so we’re
    able
    to
    16
    composite.
    17
    Q.
    What procedures
    do you have
    in place
    for
    18
    taking samples
    from
    --
    and this
    is prior
    to the new
    19
    permit.
    What procedures
    did you have
    in place
    to
    20
    sample 002?

    After

    from Mr. Kammueller

    22
    Q.
    After
    the inspection.
    23
    A.
    --
    Joe again was instructed
    to go out and
    24
    look
    for discharges
    along
    the south

    And
    he was supposed
    to look
    for
    a discharge
    anywhere along
    that
    south side
    Q.
    Let me show you what
    has been marked

    “The composite
    samples are not always
    collected
    as required by the NPDES
    permit.
    This
    includes
    but
    is not limited
    to February 8th and 9th,
    1996.
    Certain chain
    of custody
    sheets submitted
    with
    DMRs
    also indicate this condition.
    Discharges
    were
    certainly continuous
    on February 9th,
    1996,
    and
    composite
    samples
    could have been collected.”

    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Let’s
    go off the
    12
    record
    for
    a second.
    13
    (Discussion
    off the record.)
    14
    Q.
    Take
    a look
    at number
    5 and read that
    one.
    15
    A.
    pH
    is being averaged on certain DMRs.
    16
    Q.
    Do you still
    average
    pH on your DMRs?
    17
    A.
    We
    --
    we averaged
    --
    well,
    since
    this has
    18
    been brought
    to our attention
    --
    and
    I guess
    I
    --
    I
    19
    would
    have
    to talk
    to Nikki.
    I mean
    I’m not real
    20
    familiar with
    that,
    to be honest with you.
    But
    I do
    21
    know that,
    you know,
    we did average the pUs.
    There
    22
    was no intention
    of
    us trying
    to do anything
    wrong
    23
    there.
    We included the analytical,
    the raw data from
    24
    the lab with all the DMR5,
    so
    that,
    you know,
    it was

    829

    obvious what
    the pH was,
    that you would
    be able
    to
    2
    identify
    the high,
    the low,
    and the average.
    And you
    3
    know,
    that
    is something
    that
    I’m aware
    of now.
    4
    Q.
    Did you attend
    a
    --
    or
    I believe you’ve
    5
    testified
    earlier you attended
    a
    31(d)
    meeting?
    6
    A.
    Pertaining
    to this
    case,
    yes,
    I
    did.
    7
    Q.
    Correct.
    Do you recall when that was?
    B
    A.
    It was August
    of
    ‘95.
    9
    Q.
    Do you recall any requests made by the Agency
    10
    at that
    time?
    11
    A.
    There were
    --
    there were numerous
    requests.
    12
    One being
    that,
    you know,
    we submit
    a revised
    13
    Closure/Postclosure
    Care Plan.
    Part
    of the agreement
    14
    that
    15
    Q.
    Let’s
    just go one
    at
    a
    time.
    Has that
    16
    revised closure plan been submitted?
    17
    A.
    Yes,
    it was.
    There was
    a special
    condition
    16
    that
    Mr.
    Davis requested
    on that.
    19
    Q.
    What was that?
    20
    A.
    The regulations
    require
    us only
    to have
    a
    21
    postclosure
    care period
    for
    15 years.
    Regulations
    for
    22
    new sites
    require
    30
    years.
    Mr.
    Davis requested
    that
    23
    we waive
    our right
    to do
    it
    for
    15 years and we
    24
    estimate
    it over
    a
    30-year period.

    1
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I’m going to object
    at
    2
    this point
    in
    time.
    I believe the
    31(d)
    meeting was
    3
    held
    as
    a negotiation
    at that point
    with an eye
    4
    possibly
    toward settlement.
    With that
    in mind,
    5
    certain negotiations
    and matters
    discussed
    at the
    6
    31(d)
    meeting are not the proper subject
    for
    7
    discussion
    at this hearing
    as they were negotiations
    8
    with an eye towards
    settlement,
    and
    I would object
    to
    9
    this
    line
    of questioning
    for that reason.

    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Mr.
    Northrup?
    11
    MR. NORTHRUP:
    My response
    is in the Attorney
    12
    General’s
    opening
    statements,
    as well
    as questions
    to
    13
    Kammueller
    I know they brought
    out what was discussed
    14
    at that meeting,
    what certain requests were made
    of
    15
    Watts
    and whether or not those
    had been complied
    with.
    16
    They’ve opened the door.
    I think
    I’m entitled
    to
    17
    pursue
    this.
    18
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Okay.
    I’m going
    to
    19
    allow the question.
    20
    Q.
    Okay.
    What
    else
    --
    what
    else other than the
    21
    revised closure plan?
    22
    A.
    They requested that we do assessment
    23
    monitoring
    for the groundwater.
    They requested
    that,
    24
    you know,
    get the Sig Mod
    in.

    Q.
    Have you done that?
    A.
    Yes.
    Which there’s
    assessment
    monitoring
    proposal
    in the Sig Mod.
    Mr. Kammueller
    requested
    that we put together
    a Storm Water
    Pollution
    Prevention
    Plan.
    You know,
    he specifically
    requested
    that we hire
    an outside consulting
    firm
    to
    do that,
    which we complied with.
    There
    was
    --
    they requested
    that we do gas management,
    leachate
    control,
    which
    we’ve
    submitted
    an application
    for gas management
    which
    has been approved.
    We’re actively constructing
    a gas management
    system.
    We’ve
    applied for
    a permit
    for
    a leachate extraction
    system
    in our Sig Mod,
    which
    we
    --
    you know,
    we agreed that everything
    that
    they
    requested was reasonable
    and we would work toward that
    goal and
    I think we’ve
    --
    everything
    that they
    requested we have
    --
    we’ve complied with
    at this
    time.
    Q.
    Was there any discussion
    of
    a penalty?
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I’m going
    to object
    again.
    We have
    not raised
    the issue
    of penalty
    in
    this
    case and penalty discussions
    certainly are
    settlement
    --
    negotiations
    towards
    settlement,
    and
    I
    would object
    to any mention of penalty
    in this
    hearing.
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    They opened the door
    to this

    31(d)
    meeting by having
    them say what they proposed
    to
    2
    have Watts
    do.
    They’ve opened
    the door for that.
    3
    think we’re entitled
    to inquire on penalty
    issues.
    4
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    If
    the
    ruling
    on
    the
    5
    prior
    issue
    was
    that
    we
    had
    opened
    the
    door
    and
    so
    he
    6
    was
    allowed
    to
    talk
    about
    technical
    things,
    that’s
    one
    7
    thing,
    but
    penalty
    is
    a
    different
    issue.
    B
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    The
    objection
    is
    9
    sustained.
    Please
    ask
    another
    question.
    10
    Q.
    Was
    there
    anything
    else
    discussed
    at
    that
    1.
    meeting
    that
    you
    recall
    other
    than
    what
    you’ve
    already
    12
    testified
    to
    and
    the
    penalty?
    13
    A.
    Yeah,
    Mr.
    Davis
    thought
    we could reach
    a
    14
    negotiated
    settlement.
    He
    didn’t
    want
    to
    make
    a
    15
    career
    out
    of
    --
    16
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    I’m
    going
    to
    object
    once
    17
    again.
    Mr.
    Davis
    is
    not
    on
    trial
    here.
    He’s
    not
    a
    18
    witness.
    I
    don’t
    think
    this
    is
    proper,
    and
    I
    would
    19
    move
    that
    the
    response
    be
    stricken.

    Q.
    Mr.
    Jones,
    first
    of
    all,
    let’s
    go
    back
    and
    9
    talk about
    the retention
    pond.
    Okay?
    10
    A.
    Okay
    11
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    which
    pond
    I’m
    referring
    to
    when
    12
    I say retention pond?
    13
    A.
    I assume
    you’re talking
    about the pond
    that
    14
    has
    been
    created
    by
    Mr.
    Whitley
    constructing
    a
    berm
    15
    near
    our
    property
    lines.
    16
    Q.
    Okay.
    It’s
    the
    retention
    pond
    in
    the
    17
    northwest
    corner
    of
    the
    site.
    18
    A.
    Okay.
    19
    Q.
    And that’s
    the same one you’re thinking
    20
    about,
    right?
    21
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    22
    Q.
    Okay.
    Was your testimony earlier that
    the
    23
    retention pond receives drainage
    from property
    other
    24
    than
    the
    landfill?

    ILLINOIS
    217-525-6167

    834
    1
    A.
    There’s water
    that comes
    off other people’s
    2
    property on our property and drains
    in the retention
    3
    pond.
    4
    Q.
    And what other property are you talking
    5
    about?
    6
    A.
    It would be Mr. Whitley’s
    property directly
    7
    to the west
    of us.
    B
    Q.
    So Mr. Whitley owns the property directly to
    9
    the north and to the west
    of the
    landfill?
    10
    A.
    It’s my understanding,
    yes.
    11
    Q.
    And
    I think you indicated earlier that
    that
    12
    property
    is
    just to the west
    in the northwest
    corner
    13
    of the landfill
    filled with trees
    and
    is
    somewhat
    14
    hilly,
    is that what you indicated
    earlier?
    15
    A.
    Yes,
    I did.
    16
    Q.
    How
    can
    you
    tell
    that
    there
    is
    water
    or
    17
    run-on from
    that portion
    of the facility
    to the
    18
    landfill?
    19
    A.
    I’ve watched
    it.
    I’ve seen
    it.
    20
    Q.
    And have you watched
    it
    --
    is there
    any way
    21
    to differentiate
    run-on
    from that portion
    of the
    22
    property as opposed
    to
    just storm water runoff
    from
    23
    the landfill
    itself?
    24
    A.
    I’m sure you could
    sit down and run some
    CAPITOL REPORTING
    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525- 6167

    835
    1
    calculations
    based upon
    the area
    of each drainage
    2
    basin
    and the terrain and the
    slope.
    There
    are ways
    3
    that you can do it.
    You know,
    use the rational method
    4
    or--
    5
    Q.
    You’ve
    not done any of that testing?
    6
    A.
    No,
    I have not
    7
    Q.
    Now,
    the 001 outfall
    under the NPDES permit,
    8
    this
    does not drain into the retention pond,
    does
    it?
    9
    A.
    No.
    That’s
    not our interpretation
    of the
    10
    permit
    11
    Q.
    So just back
    to
    an earlier
    question,
    the
    12
    runoff
    from the portion of Whitley’s
    property

    13
    west
    of the landfill
    first drains
    onto
    the landfill
    14
    and then
    into the retention
    pond?
    15
    A.
    It doesn’t
    go directly on the landfill.
    It
    16
    drains
    under our property and
    it runs along
    the haul
    17
    road that
    runs along the west
    side
    of our property,
    18
    and then
    it drains down
    into the retention
    basin.
    19
    Q.
    Now,
    when you testified
    earlier,
    Mr. Northrup
    20
    had asked you about
    a number
    of documents
    such
    as the
    21
    odor logs prepared by Jerry Martens?
    22
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    23
    Q.
    And the February
    14,
    1994
    inspection
    report
    24
    prepared by Jim Kammueller.
    He’d asked you if you’d

    ever seen those documents
    before and
    I think your
    2
    response was no.
    Is that accurate?
    3
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    Now,
    I was aware
    that
    the
    4
    odor logs existed,
    but
    I had not seen
    them.
    Mr.
    5
    Martens discussed them
    in his deposition.
    6
    Q.
    Were you aware that those documents
    were
    7
    provided
    to Mr. Northrup
    in the spring
    in response
    to
    8
    a discovery
    request
    he made?
    9
    A.
    No,
    they were never provided
    to me from him.
    10
    Q.
    Okay.
    You had never
    seen those
    documents
    11
    from Mr. Northrup
    from spring
    of this year until
    12
    today?
    13
    A.
    No.
    14
    Q.
    Okay.
    Now,
    what you’ve called the Storm
    15
    Water
    Pollution Prevention
    Plan,
    and that
    is your

    This was
    21
    prepared
    by
    CH2M-Hill
    for
    the
    facility?
    22
    A.
    Yes,
    it was.
    23
    Q.
    Can you tell
    me again when that was prepared
    24
    by CH2M-Hill?

    A.
    I
    remember
    seeing
    the
    first
    draft
    copy
    in
    December
    of
    ‘95.
    Q.
    And
    I think your earlier testimony was that
    has
    not
    been
    finalized
    yet.
    Is
    that
    correct?
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    Q.
    Are there
    any plans or
    is CH2M-Hill
    currently
    working
    on
    finalizing
    that
    plan?
    A.
    Well,
    I
    think
    if
    you
    read
    a
    NPDES
    permit,
    basically
    it’s
    always
    an
    ongoing
    updating
    of
    the
    operations
    of
    the
    site.
    We
    may
    issue
    a
    final
    version
    of
    this
    plan,
    but
    it’s
    something
    that
    will
    always
    have
    to
    change
    as
    the
    site
    changes.
    It
    makes
    adjustments
    for
    current
    conditions.
    Q.
    Has this plan ever been submitted
    to the
    IEPA?
    not
    required
    to
    be.
    you ever shown
    this plan
    to Mr.
    see
    if
    he thinks
    that
    the provisions
    in
    adequate
    for
    the
    site?
    A.
    No,
    we
    have
    not.
    Q.
    Now,
    is
    it fair
    to say that Elmer
    Elliott
    and
    Joe
    Chenoweth
    are
    responsible
    for
    performing
    day-to-day maintenance
    at the landfill?
    A.
    That’s
    very
    loosely
    you
    could
    say
    that,
    yeah.

    And Joe Chenoweth,

    he
    5
    keeps

    any

    he’s

    he’s

    problems,
    7
    right?
    8
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    9
    Q.
    Now,
    when you mentioned
    the people that knew
    10
    where
    this
    Storm
    Water
    Pollution
    Prevention
    Plan
    is
    11
    located
    at
    your
    facility,
    you
    did
    not
    mention
    Elmer
    12
    Elliott
    and you did not mention Joe Chenoweth.
    Now,
    13
    my
    question
    is
    if
    they
    are
    the
    ones
    who
    are
    performing
    14
    the
    daily
    maintenance
    at
    the
    site,
    how
    are
    they
    15
    supposed
    to
    know
    what
    to
    do
    to
    address
    storm
    water
    16
    problems
    if
    they
    don’t
    even
    know
    where
    the
    plan
    is?
    17
    A.
    Well,
    we’ve
    had
    the
    plan
    out
    before
    and
    we’ve
    18
    discussed
    it
    with
    them.
    And
    I
    aid
    mention
    Elmer
    19
    Elliott’s
    name
    in
    my
    previous
    testimony.
    I
    did
    20
    discuss
    him.
    But
    it’s
    not
    something
    like
    we
    show
    them
    21
    exactly where
    in the file
    we put
    it.
    We’ve had
    it
    22
    out.
    We’ve
    sat
    around
    in
    conferences
    and
    discussed
    it
    23
    with,
    you know,
    various personnel
    on-site.
    24
    Q.
    And
    with
    Elmer
    Elliott?

    I’ve

    our Storm Water

    3
    we

    4
    Q.
    Yet,
    Mr.
    Kammueller
    stopped
    out
    at
    the
    site,
    5
    I
    believe
    on
    the
    morning
    of
    October
    29,
    and
    questioned
    6
    Elmer
    Elliott
    as
    to
    whether
    the
    facility
    had
    a
    Storm
    7
    Water
    Pollution

    Plan,
    he
    didn’t
    know
    what
    8
    Mr.
    Kammueller
    was
    talking
    about?
    9
    A.
    I don’t know.
    I wasn’t
    there
    for the
    10
    conversation.
    11
    Q.
    I
    think
    you
    testified
    earlier
    that,
    in
    fact,
    12
    Elmer probably
    should know about
    it,
    but he probably
    13
    doesn’t
    know
    about
    this
    plan?
    14
    A.
    I
    did
    probably
    say
    that.
    I
    said
    that.
    15
    Q.
    Do
    you
    think
    it
    would
    be
    advantageous
    for
    you
    16
    to
    or
    someone
    else
    from
    ESG
    Watts
    who
    is
    familiar
    with
    17
    that
    plan
    to
    discuss
    it
    with
    Elmer
    Elliott
    so
    he
    knows
    18
    exactly
    what
    is
    required
    and
    where
    it’s
    located?
    19
    A.
    We’ve
    had
    discussions
    with
    Elmer
    on
    the
    20
    requirements
    of
    it,
    but,
    you
    know,
    I’ve
    never
    taken
    21
    him
    and
    said
    this
    is
    where
    we
    put
    it
    in
    the
    file
    if
    22
    you would ever like
    to
    see
    it.
    Elmer
    is well aware
    of
    23
    the
    housekeeping
    duties
    that
    he’s
    supposed
    to

    Okay.
    That’s all

    you

    the

    5
    A.
    Yes.
    6
    Q.
    Okay.
    And
    I
    think you testified
    that
    7
    preparation
    of
    the
    plan
    was
    in
    response
    to
    a
    court
    8
    order.
    9
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    10
    Q.
    Okay.
    I’m
    going
    to
    hand
    you
    a
    copy
    of

    29,
    and
    can
    you
    tell
    me
    what
    date
    12
    that order was entered on?
    That
    is the preliminary
    13
    injunction
    order
    from
    the
    Sangamon
    County
    Circuit

    it’s
    this
    date
    up
    here.
    16
    0.
    Okay.
    And
    you
    can

    on
    the
    back,
    too,
    17
    where
    the

    that
    that

    20
    strike
    that.
    21
    I think your earlier
    testimony was that your

    Leachate

    Plan was drafted or prepared
    23
    immediately
    following this court order.

    accurate

    earlier?
    2

    I assume
    it
    is.
    I don’t remember the exact
    3
    date
    that
    we
    prepared
    it,
    but
    I
    know
    we
    prepared
    it
    4
    shortly after the judge’s
    order.
    5
    Q.
    Okay.
    Who
    prepared
    the
    Leachate

    7
    A.
    It was done

    by

    8
    and

    Quinn.

    Who
    is

    used
    to
    be
    the

    manager
    11
    for

    Watts.
    12
    Q.
    Okay.
    Now I’m looking at what
    is
    13
    Respondent’s
    Exhibit
    5
    that
    I
    earlier
    said
    is
    the
    14
    Leachate
    Control
    Plan,
    and
    I don’t
    see
    a date
    on here
    15
    that
    actually
    indicates
    the
    date
    it
    was
    prepared,
    and
    16
    you
    don’t
    have
    any
    independent
    recollection
    of
    when
    it
    17
    was
    prepared?
    13
    A.
    No,
    I
    don’t.

    order
    10
    to
    implement
    a

    Plan.
    Correct?
    11
    A.
    Okay.
    12
    Q.
    Do you agree with that?
    13
    A.
    I
    agree
    with
    that
    letter.
    14
    Q.
    Okay.
    From
    September
    11,
    1992
    until
    this
    15
    rule
    to
    show
    cause
    letter
    was
    issued
    on
    September
    14,

    1993,
    what
    had
    you
    done
    with
    regard
    to
    a
    Leachate
    17
    Control
    Plan?
    18
    A.
    We
    had
    always
    --
    it’s
    been
    an
    ongoing
    bone
    of
    19
    contention
    with the Agency about leachate and we’ve
    20
    always maintained
    that
    we have monitored
    through
    21
    inspections,
    you know,
    we’ve looked for leachate
    seeps
    22
    on our property.
    We’ve
    identified them and we would
    23
    take
    necessary
    corrective
    action.
    And
    it’s
    always
    24
    been
    the policy,
    you know,
    since
    I’ve been there.

    Q.
    Okay.
    Let
    me
    refer
    again
    to
    Respondent’s
    2
    Exhibit
    5,
    second
    paragraph
    under
    history,
    it
    was
    3
    determined
    at
    the
    hearing
    on
    15
    February
    1994
    now
    4
    we’re
    two
    years
    or
    a
    year
    and
    a
    half,
    I
    guess,
    after
    5
    the
    original
    injunction
    order
    --
    that
    ESG
    Watts
    should
    6
    submit
    a
    Leachate
    Control
    Plan
    that
    the
    Illinois
    7
    Attorney
    General’s
    office
    can
    review
    and
    comment
    on.
    8
    This
    Leachate
    Control
    Plan
    which
    is
    Respondent’s
    9
    Exhibit
    5
    indicates
    in
    here
    it
    was
    developed
    for
    that
    10
    purpose.
    So,
    in
    fact,
    according
    to
    your
    Leachate
    11
    Control
    Plan,
    it
    was
    developed
    a
    year
    and
    a
    half
    after
    12
    the
    preliminary
    injunction
    order?
    13
    A.
    I
    disagree
    with
    that.
    14
    Q.
    Please
    explain.
    15
    A.
    Well,
    I
    think
    that
    we
    had
    been
    --
    we
    had
    a
    16
    plan
    in
    place,
    but
    it
    was
    never
    formalized
    in
    this
    17
    format
    to
    --
    and
    we
    --
    at
    this
    point
    we
    formalized
    it,
    18
    submitted
    it,
    I
    guess
    according
    to
    that.
    I
    don’t
    19
    recall
    us
    sending
    it
    off
    anywhere.
    I
    can’t
    remember
    20
    that.
    But
    it was
    like,
    okay,
    let’s
    sit down and put
    2.
    it down
    on paper what we’re
    doing.
    But we had been
    22
    doing those
    activities
    way before this plan was
    23
    developed.
    24
    Q.
    And
    how
    were
    your
    leachate
    control
    measures

    844
    1
    prior
    to
    this
    plan
    being
    developed,
    how
    were
    they
    2
    communicated
    to
    the
    Watts
    employees?
    3
    A.
    The same
    way.
    We
    -
    -
    you
    know,
    Joe
    Chenoweth,
    4
    he
    was
    instructed
    and
    there
    were
    some
    personnel
    before
    5
    Joe
    --
    we
    hired
    Joe.
    I
    can’t
    remember
    the
    date
    that
    6
    we
    hired
    Mr.
    Chenoweth.
    But
    they
    would
    take,
    you
    7
    know,
    a
    walk
    around
    the
    site
    or
    drive
    a
    vehicle
    or
    8
    maybe
    a
    piece
    of
    heavy
    equipment,
    and
    they
    would
    look
    9
    for
    these
    type
    of
    leachate
    seeps.
    And
    if
    they
    10
    encountered
    them,
    they
    were
    instructed
    to
    fix
    them.
    11
    And
    that’s
    what
    we
    did.
    That
    plan
    is
    no
    different
    12
    than the everyday practice
    that we had implemented.
    13
    It’s
    just
    a
    formalization
    of
    our
    activities.
    14
    Q.
    Okay.
    Now,
    you
    were
    present
    during
    Mr.
    15
    Chenoweth’s
    testimony
    earlier
    in
    this
    hearing,
    were
    16
    you
    not?
    17
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    18
    Q.
    First
    of
    all,
    do you recall
    Mr. Chenoweth
    19
    testifying
    that
    after
    he
    would
    conduct
    an
    inspection
    20
    of the facility,
    if the weather was particularly
    bad,
    21
    he
    would
    not
    undertake
    corrective
    actions,
    not
    wanting
    22
    to endanger
    the safety of himself
    or his fellow
    23
    employees?
    24
    A.
    I remember
    that.

    1
    Q.
    And
    so would you agree
    then,
    Mr.
    Jones,
    that
    2
    there
    were some instances
    at the site where
    leachate
    3
    problems
    may
    have
    been
    noted
    on
    one
    day
    by
    Mr.
    4
    Chenoweth
    and
    then
    went
    uncorrected
    for
    any
    number
    of
    5
    days
    up
    to
    a
    couple
    of
    months
    even?
    6
    A.
    I
    would
    disagree
    with
    a
    couple
    of
    months,
    I
    7
    mean
    it’s
    well-documented
    in
    Mr.
    Chenoweth’s
    daily
    8
    inspections
    when
    he
    identifies
    a
    leachate
    seep
    and
    9
    when he made
    the correction.
    You know,
    it’s
    on record
    10
    when
    he
    identifies
    them
    and
    when
    he
    made
    the
    11
    correction.
    12
    Q.
    So
    if
    in
    those
    site
    inspection
    reports
    Mr.
    13
    Chenoweth
    himself
    indicates
    that
    for
    over
    a
    period
    of
    14
    months,
    if
    you
    look
    at
    the
    inspection
    reports,
    he
    was
    15
    not
    able
    to
    correct
    a
    certain
    problem,
    would
    you
    16
    disagree
    with
    what
    Joe
    put
    in
    his
    report?
    17
    A.
    No,
    I
    wouldn’t.
    18
    Q.
    Now,
    according
    to the injunction
    order that’s
    19
    Exhibit
    29
    before
    you,
    you’re
    ordered
    to
    implement
    20
    measures
    to both monitor and control
    leachate.
    Would
    21
    you agree with that?
    22
    A.
    Yes.
    23
    Q.
    And are there
    still reoccurring problems
    with
    24
    leachate
    at the landfill
    on this date?

    Yes,
    there

    2
    Q.
    So you would
    agree that
    the measures
    3
    implemented

    Watts
    at
    some
    point
    after
    September
    4
    of
    1992
    to
    monitor
    and
    control
    leachate
    have
    not
    5
    corrected
    the
    problem?
    6
    A.
    I
    disagree
    with
    that.
    7
    Q.
    You’re
    still
    having
    problems
    with
    leachate
    at
    8
    the
    site,
    are
    you
    not?
    9
    A.
    We’re monitoring and controlling
    leachate.
    10
    But
    every
    landfill
    in
    the
    State
    of
    Illinois
    has
    11
    leachate
    seeps.
    12
    Q.
    That’s
    not
    what
    I
    asked
    you,
    Mr.
    Jones.
    13
    A.
    That’s
    what
    I told you.
    14
    Q.
    You’re
    still
    having
    problems
    with
    leachate
    at
    15
    this
    time,
    correct?
    16
    A.
    It’s
    an
    ongoing
    issue,
    yes.
    17
    Q.
    Okay.
    That’s
    fine.
    Now,
    you
    indicated
    that
    18
    you
    had
    some
    input
    into

    I’m sorry,

    217-525-6167

    847
    1
    on

    of
    Watts
    at
    previous
    days
    of
    this
    hearing,
    2
    indicated
    that
    some
    of
    the
    wells
    they
    have
    installed
    3
    for
    gas
    extraction
    are
    also
    going
    to

    4
    are
    also
    going
    to
    be
    used
    for
    leachate
    extraction?
    5
    A.
    We’ve
    made
    that
    proposal
    in
    the
    Significant
    6

    When
    the

    we
    can
    do
    7
    that
    permitted
    activity.
    8
    Q.
    Can
    you
    tell
    me
    what
    will
    be
    needed
    --
    what
    9
    you need
    to
    do to those gas extraction
    wells
    to ready
    10
    them
    for
    leachate
    extraction?
    11
    A.
    We
    would
    have
    to
    put
    down
    a
    leachate
    pump,
    12
    you know,
    lower
    it down
    into the bottom of the well.
    13
    It’s probably going
    to be very similar
    to the ones
    14
    that
    we
    constructed
    at
    Sangamon
    Valley
    Landfill.
    15
    They’re
    going
    to
    be
    driven
    by
    air.
    They’re
    pneumatic
    16
    pumps.
    You
    know,
    they’ll
    pump
    up
    leachate
    to
    a
    17
    central
    holding
    tank,
    and
    then
    there
    are
    a
    couple
    18
    different
    options.
    We
    can
    haul
    it
    --
    we
    do
    have
    a
    19
    permit
    to
    haul
    it
    to
    a
    local
    wastewater
    treatment
    20
    plant
    or we
    are looking
    at utilizing
    landfill
    gas to
    21
    --
    there
    is
    a
    method
    that
    you
    can
    heat
    up
    the
    leachate
    22
    and put
    it
    through
    a volatile organic compound filter
    23
    that,
    you know,
    will
    pull
    the volatiles
    off,
    and we
    24
    are
    looking
    at that option,
    and we’ll probably apply

    848
    1
    for
    a
    permit
    to
    do
    that
    once
    the
    gas
    system
    is
    up
    and
    2
    running.
    3
    Q.
    Now,
    as part
    of your contract with RTC are
    4
    they
    required
    to
    do
    any
    of
    the
    installation
    of
    5
    equipment
    or
    prepare
    --
    or otherwise
    prepare
    these gas
    6
    extraction
    wells
    for the leachate
    extraction?
    7
    A.
    No.
    8
    Q.
    That’s
    something
    that
    Watts
    is
    going
    to
    do?
    9
    A.
    That’s
    solely on our
    --
    our
    responsibility.
    10
    Q.
    Now,
    I
    believe
    the
    gas
    management
    system
    is
    11
    not
    supposed
    to
    be
    ready
    and
    operational
    until
    the
    12
    middle
    of
    1997,
    is
    that
    right?
    13
    A.
    Most
    likely.
    That’s the schedule.
    14
    Q.
    Now,
    when can you begin
    --
    let’s
    assume
    for
    a
    15
    minute
    you
    obtain
    a
    permit
    to
    do
    the
    leachate
    16
    extraction.
    When
    based
    on

    Q.
    Since
    we’re
    talking
    about
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    to
    a
    2
    certain extent,
    can you explain why when
    the original
    3
    Sig
    Mod
    was
    denied
    in
    February
    of
    1995
    why
    it
    took
    4
    Watts
    until
    October
    of
    this
    year
    to
    make
    a
    resubmittal
    5
    of
    that
    application?
    6
    A.
    Well,
    I
    don’t
    know
    what
    happened
    when
    I
    was
    7
    not
    employed
    by
    Watts.
    I
    wasn’t
    privy
    to
    the
    8
    conversations
    between
    CH2M-Hill
    and
    ESG
    Watts
    at
    all
    9
    times.
    I
    had
    been
    involved
    a
    little
    bit.
    But
    I
    had
    10
    been
    gone
    for
    about
    a
    year
    period
    at
    that
    time
    and,
    11
    you
    know,
    when
    I
    was
    employed
    there,
    CH2M-Hill
    they
    12
    were working
    on the revision.
    There
    were certain
    13
    things
    that
    we
    needed
    to
    do.
    We
    had
    to
    install
    some
    14
    --
    we wanted to install some wells off-site
    to do,
    you
    15
    know,
    groundwater
    investigation.
    And
    I’m
    not
    real
    16
    familiar
    with
    all
    the
    details
    on
    it.
    I’m
    kind
    of
    17
    shaky
    on
    it.
    18
    Q.
    Are
    those
    the
    Hanson
    field
    wells?
    19
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    20
    Q.
    And the purpose
    for installing
    those
    wells
    21
    was
    to
    serve
    as
    a
    basis

    Q.
    Now,
    I
    do
    realize
    that
    you
    were
    not
    employed
    2
    by Watts
    from May of 1995 until July
    of this
    year.
    Is
    3
    that

    4
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    5
    Q.
    --
    the
    time
    period
    you
    gave?
    6
    Okay.
    Do
    you
    know,
    though,
    did
    Watts
    ever
    give
    a
    7
    deadline
    to
    CH2M-Hill
    or
    to
    their
    own
    site
    employees
    8
    as
    to
    when
    this
    new
    Sig
    Mod
    submittal
    had
    to
    be
    9
    completed?
    10
    A.
    Not
    that
    I
    recall.
    11
    Q.
    Isn’t
    it
    true
    that
    the
    only
    deadline
    for
    12
    resubmittal
    that was ever mentioned by Watts
    to
    13
    CH2M-Hill
    was
    that
    it
    be
    submitted
    prior
    to
    beginning
    14
    the
    hearing
    in
    this
    case?
    15
    A.
    It
    was
    the
    goal.
    16
    Q.
    Now,
    aside
    from
    the
    work
    you
    mentioned,
    17
    installation
    of
    the
    wells
    and
    other
    work
    you
    18
    mentioned,
    was
    there
    other
    engineering
    work
    that
    Watts
    19
    had
    to
    do
    on-site
    and
    provide
    the
    results
    to
    CH2M-Hi11
    20
    for this Sig Mod resubmittal?
    21
    A.
    We had to collect
    leachate
    samples.
    22
    Q.
    Now,
    again,
    understanding
    that you were not
    23
    employed
    by Watts during
    this certain period of
    time,
    24
    do you know when those
    leachate samples were

    collected?
    2
    A.
    Actually,
    I think
    I was employed by the time
    3
    the samples
    were taken.
    It was sometime this
    summer,
    4
    summer
    of
    ‘96.
    5
    Q.
    Do you have any explanation
    as to why nearly
    6
    a
    year
    after
    a
    meeting
    with
    the
    Agency
    to
    discuss
    the
    7
    Sig
    Mod
    denial
    why
    it
    would
    take
    that
    long
    for
    8
    leachate
    samples
    to
    be
    collected?
    9
    A.
    Well,
    we
    had
    to
    install
    leachate
    -
    -
    we had to
    10
    install
    wells
    to
    extract
    the
    leachate.
    We
    needed
    a
    11
    permit
    to
    install
    the
    wells.
    12
    Q.
    Who oversaw
    this
    work,
    the engineering
    work
    13
    that Watts performed?

    Mr.

    it
    was

    responsibility
    of
    Steve
    Keith.
    19
    Q.
    Was Steve
    Keith present
    at the site during
    20
    the performance
    of the engineering work?
    21

    People
    to perform the work
    that Watts was
    4
    going
    to
    perform

    5
    A.
    We
    hired

    --
    Indeco,
    we
    hired
    them
    to
    6
    do
    some
    work

    They’re
    the
    company
    that
    7
    drilled
    the
    Hanson
    wells.
    8
    Q.
    When
    was
    that
    done?
    9
    A.
    I’m not exactly
    sure.
    I wasn’t employed
    at
    10
    the
    time
    when
    that
    was
    done,
    but
    it
    was
    in
    the
    summer
    11
    --
    it
    was
    shortly
    after
    that
    August
    of
    ‘95
    meeting.
    12
    Q.
    And how
    is
    it that you know that?

    Just
    with
    conversations
    with
    Mr.
    Grothus.
    14
    Q.
    Was
    the
    collection
    of
    leachate
    samples
    the
    15
    last
    bit
    of
    work
    that
    Watts
    needed
    to
    do
    and
    submit
    to
    16
    CH2M-Hill
    for
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    resubmittal?
    17
    A.
    I
    think
    so
    but
    I
    --
    you
    know,
    I
    wouldn’t
    be
    a
    18
    hundred
    percent
    sure.
    I
    think
    that
    was
    one
    of
    the
    19
    things
    holding
    up
    the
    project
    was
    the
    leachate.
    20
    Q.
    Now,
    we also
    --
    already
    know
    through
    21
    testimony
    of Steve
    Keith
    of
    CT-flM-Hill
    that there
    were
    22
    some delays resulting
    from Watts’
    inability or
    23
    unwillingness
    to pay bills
    that were owed
    to

    understand
    from today’s
    testimony,
    a formal
    23
    reapplication
    in the

    of

    work
    that
    needed
    to
    be
    done?
    10
    A.
    Yeah.
    We
    may
    have
    changed
    a
    few
    minor
    11
    sentences
    or
    something,
    but,
    you
    know,
    no

    were performed

    You
    indicated
    you
    were
    involved

    the closure

    10
    A.
    tjh-huh.
    11
    Q.
    And
    that
    involves
    cost
    estimates?
    12
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    13
    Q.
    And
    I
    assume
    you
    were
    also
    involved
    in
    14
    preparing
    the
    cost
    estimates,
    correct?
    15
    A.
    That’s
    correct
    16
    Q.
    Do
    the
    closure/postclosure
    cost
    estimates
    in

    the

    include

    related

    to

    1
    Q.
    Actually,
    if
    you’ll
    agree
    that
    this
    is
    2
    Exhibit
    1,
    I’ll just
    show you the portion
    I’m talking
    3
    about.
    It’s
    in
    Attachment
    18,
    which
    deals
    with
    the
    4
    contingency
    plan,
    and
    then
    we’ve
    also
    got
    closure
    5
    costs
    in
    here.
    6
    A.
    Okay.
    7
    Q.
    Can
    you
    take
    a
    look
    at
    those
    for
    me?
    8
    A.
    Are
    we
    just
    looking
    at
    closure
    costs
    or
    9
    closure and postclosure
    costs?
    10
    Q.
    What
    I’m
    concerned
    about
    is
    whether
    there
    are
    11
    any
    estimates
    relating
    to
    the
    gas
    management
    system.
    12
    A.
    In
    either
    section?
    13
    Q.
    Right.
    14
    A.
    Okay.
    I
    would
    say
    that
    we
    left
    it
    off.
    15
    Q.
    Okay.
    Now,
    you testified earlier that RTC
    is
    16
    bearing
    the
    responsibility
    for
    the
    finances
    involved
    17
    in
    installing
    this
    gas
    management
    system,
    correct?
    18
    A.
    Yes.
    19
    Q.
    Now,
    once
    the
    gas
    management
    system
    has
    run
    20
    its course,
    10,
    15,
    however many years
    down the road,
    21
    and
    there’s
    no
    longer
    gas
    to
    be
    extracted
    from
    the
    22
    landfill,
    what happens
    to all
    of these wells
    that
    have
    23
    been installed?
    24
    A.
    They will
    be plugged.

    Q.
    And
    who’s
    responsible
    for
    the
    plugging
    of
    2
    those wells?
    3
    A.
    RTC.
    4
    Q.
    And
    that’s
    pursuant
    to
    your

    with

    RTC?
    6
    A.
    That’s
    correct.

    Q.
    So
    any
    --
    strike
    that.
    8
    All
    of
    the
    costs
    associated
    with

    operation,

    if
    you
    will,
    of

    are
    costs
    that
    are
    borne
    entirely
    by
    11
    RTC,
    is
    that
    correct?
    12
    A.
    That’s
    incorrect.
    13
    Q.
    Okay.
    What costs are not borne
    by RTC?
    14
    A.
    We’ve
    assisted
    them
    in
    a
    lot
    of
    their

    we
    have

    17
    them
    with.
    We’ve
    supplied
    them
    with

    we’ve
    supplied
    them
    with

    they

    people,
    we’ve
    supplied
    them
    with

    space,
    20
    telephone,
    secretarial
    services.
    There
    is
    a cost
    21
    associated,
    you know,
    with all those
    activities
    that
    22
    we have bore.
    23
    Q.
    Can you put
    a dollar
    figure
    on that cost?
    24
    A.
    I probably could
    if you want.

    we’ve
    never

    to
    it,
    but
    I
    probably
    could.
    Q.
    Go ahead.
    A.
    You

    No,

    Yes,
    it

    5
    could
    you

    placed
    in

    area?
    8
    A.
    There would
    have been,
    you know,
    various
    9
    times
    through the years,
    you know.
    Some areas would
    10
    have

    grade,
    you
    know,
    four
    or
    five

    ago.
    Some
    maybe,
    you

    three
    years

    12
    Q.
    So
    would
    it
    be
    your

    that
    the
    final
    13
    volume then of waste
    that was placed
    in the inactive
    14
    area
    would
    have
    been
    placed

    Yes,

    Can

    the site.
    They worked
    their way
    2
    west and then they worked their way north along the
    3
    west
    side.
    And my guess would
    be somewhere
    in the
    4
    northwest
    portion.
    5
    Q.
    Can you identify
    it by any numbers
    that are
    6
    on
    there
    what
    your
    estimate
    would
    be,
    the
    numbers
    of
    7
    the
    grid?
    8
    A.
    You
    know
    F-0
    or
    E-0
    or
    E-1,
    somewhere
    in
    9
    there.
    10
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    how
    much
    final
    cover
    has
    been
    11
    applied
    to
    this
    inactive
    area?
    12
    A.
    In terms
    of thickness
    or quantity
    in yards
    13
    or
    --
    14
    Q.
    Why
    don’t
    you
    give
    me
    thickness
    first?
    15
    A.
    It varies but,
    you know,
    it’s anywhere
    from,
    16
    you
    know,
    two
    and
    a
    half
    feet
    to
    three
    feet
    to
    four
    17
    feet.
    I’ve
    seen
    places
    with
    thicker
    cover
    on
    it
    than
    18
    that
    19
    Q.
    And
    were
    you
    employed
    by
    Watts
    during
    the
    20
    years when the final
    cover was placed on this inactive
    21
    area?
    22
    A.
    Some areas
    I was employed and some areas was
    23
    previous
    to my employment
    24
    Q.
    And
    would
    you
    have

    1
    your
    years
    of
    employment
    that
    would
    have
    been
    2
    responsible
    for
    overseeing
    the
    placement
    of
    the
    final
    3
    cover?
    4
    A.
    No,
    not
    necessarily.
    You
    know,
    Elmer
    Elliott
    5
    would
    have,
    you
    know,
    known
    that
    he
    had
    to
    place
    final
    6
    cover.
    I
    don’t
    think
    I
    ever
    gave
    him
    a
    direct
    order,
    7
    said
    go
    put
    final
    cover
    here,
    but
    it
    was
    done
    through,
    8
    you
    know,
    the
    years
    that
    I’ve
    been
    there.
    9
    Q.
    Now,
    isn’t
    it
    true
    that
    there’s
    still
    some
    10
    work
    that
    needs
    to
    be
    done
    on
    the
    final
    cover?
    11
    A.
    There
    are
    a
    few
    areas
    that
    we
    have
    identified
    12
    that
    lack adequate cover.
    13
    Q.
    When
    are
    those
    areas
    going
    to
    be
    addressed?
    14
    A.
    I
    think
    some
    of
    them
    have
    already
    been
    15
    addressed.
    Other
    ones
    --
    there’s
    an
    area
    that
    was
    16
    identified
    I’d
    say
    around
    like
    K-l4
    I
    think.
    There’s
    17
    a
    lot
    of
    equipment
    sitting
    on
    top
    of
    the
    landfill
    in
    18
    that
    general
    area
    that
    the
    cover
    was
    identified
    as
    19
    thin
    and
    we
    would
    like
    to
    move
    the
    heavy
    equipment
    20
    that’s sitting
    in that
    area and apply additional
    21
    cover.
    22
    Q.
    Now,
    there
    have been gas extraction
    wells
    23
    installed
    in this
    area,
    have there not?
    24
    A,
    Wherever
    you
    see
    a
    small
    circle
    I
    think

    864
    1
    that’s
    what
    they
    indicate
    that
    that’s
    a
    gas
    extraction
    2
    well.
    I
    think there’s
    88
    of them
    in this
    area.
    3
    Q.
    Now,
    it was my understanding
    that
    the small
    4
    circles
    on
    this
    map
    represented
    the
    borings
    taken
    by
    5
    Steve
    Brao
    in
    connection
    with
    his
    --
    the
    soil
    borings
    6
    he
    was
    taking
    to
    determine
    the
    thickness
    of
    cover.
    7
    A.
    Well,
    I
    look
    at
    some
    of
    the
    designations
    on
    8
    them,
    you
    know,
    I
    see
    like
    GE
    40
    and
    like
    GE,
    you
    9
    know,
    those
    are
    designations
    that
    they
    use
    solely
    for
    10
    landfill
    gas
    extraction
    wells.
    ii.
    Q.
    Was the final cover disturbed during the
    12
    installation
    of
    the
    gas
    extraction
    wells?
    13
    A.
    We drilled through
    it.
    14
    Q.
    And
    was
    there
    any
    work
    that
    needed
    to
    be
    done
    15
    after
    the
    wells
    were
    installed
    to
    reinforce
    or
    to
    16
    correct
    the
    final
    cover?
    17
    A.
    When
    they
    would
    set
    up
    their
    drilling
    rig,
    18
    they
    would
    have
    to
    make
    it
    level,
    and
    they
    would
    do
    19
    one
    of
    two
    things
    to
    make
    it
    level
    to
    set
    up
    the
    20
    drilling
    rig.
    They would either cut
    into the area
    to
    21
    make
    it
    flat
    or
    they
    would
    bring
    soil
    in
    to
    level
    the
    22
    area
    out.
    And those
    areas that
    they had to cut
    into
    23
    the
    cover
    to
    level
    it
    off,
    we
    had
    to
    redo
    and
    add
    more
    24
    cover.

    Q.
    And
    would
    you
    say
    then
    that
    was
    --
    well,
    let
    2
    me ask you this.
    Prior
    to the soil borings
    taken by
    3
    Steve
    Brao,
    when
    was
    the
    last
    time
    cover
    material
    was
    4
    applied
    over
    the
    inactive
    area?
    5
    A.
    I’m
    going
    to
    say
    sometime
    in
    ‘92.
    6
    Q.
    Now,
    what
    about
    the
    vegetative
    cover
    at
    the
    7
    inactive
    area?
    Isn’t
    it
    true
    that
    there
    are
    still
    8
    some
    areas
    that
    lack
    a
    vegetative
    cover?
    9
    A.
    There
    is
    areas
    where
    we’ve
    had
    problems
    with
    10
    maintaining
    the
    cover.
    I
    think
    every
    area
    that
    we’ve
    11
    applied
    final
    cover
    we
    have
    at
    one
    time
    seeded.
    12
    Q.
    Can
    you
    describe
    for
    us
    in
    detail
    what
    the
    13
    vegetative
    cover
    currently
    in
    place
    is
    like?
    14
    A.
    Well,
    it
    depends
    where
    you’re
    at.
    We’ve
    had
    15
    a
    lot
    of
    problems
    on
    the
    west
    side.
    At
    one
    time
    I
    16
    think
    shortly
    after
    1990
    --
    sometime
    in
    1992
    after
    we
    17
    applied
    a
    lot
    of
    final
    cover
    in
    this
    area,
    we
    hired
    a
    18
    local
    farmer,
    Bush
    Farms,
    to
    come
    in
    and
    seed,
    and
    you
    19
    know,
    he
    seeded,
    I
    don’t
    know,
    20,
    30
    acres,
    you
    know.
    20
    We have
    an invoice,
    you know,
    showing
    that
    --
    he’s
    got
    21
    a meter
    on his tractor that counts how many acres
    he
    22
    seeds.
    You know,
    they use
    it
    in farming
    to track
    how
    23
    much they plant
    for crops and stuff.
    And that’s how
    24
    he
    billed
    us
    and
    I
    can’t
    remember
    the
    exact
    number.

    But
    it
    basically
    covered
    this
    west
    portion.
    2
    Q.
    And what about any other
    areas
    of the site,
    3
    have you had problems maintaining
    a vegetative
    cover
    4
    in
    any
    other
    areas?
    5
    A.
    There
    are
    areas
    over
    the
    entire
    site
    we’ve
    6
    had
    trouble
    maintaining
    a
    vegetative
    cover,
    7
    Q.
    Would
    you
    agree
    that
    some
    of
    the
    erosional
    or
    8
    runoff
    problems
    at
    the
    site
    are
    at
    least
    in
    part
    due
    9
    to
    a
    lack
    of
    vegetative
    cover
    in
    some
    areas?
    10
    A.
    Well,
    I
    --
    I
    think
    that
    the
    --
    in
    some
    places
    11
    the
    lack
    of
    cover
    has
    been
    caused
    by
    the
    erosion
    and
    12
    then,
    you know,
    it’s
    a catch-22
    situation,
    you know.
    13
    Q.
    Now,
    aside
    from
    having
    this
    Bush
    Farms,
    or
    14
    whoever
    you
    mentioned,
    come
    in
    and
    seed
    the
    western
    15
    portion
    of
    the
    site,
    what
    other
    efforts
    has
    Watts
    16
    undertaken
    to
    maintain
    a
    vegetative
    cover?
    17
    A.
    Well,
    we’ve
    purchased
    seed
    on
    our
    own
    and
    18
    we’ve
    applied
    it
    ourselves
    in
    various
    areas,
    you
    know,
    19
    in
    small
    areas
    all
    through
    the
    site.
    What
    Watts
    did
    20
    to
    seed,
    you
    know,
    the
    south
    half
    of
    the
    landfill
    21
    before
    I
    was
    employed
    there
    I
    have
    no
    idea.
    But
    there
    22
    is,
    you
    know,
    vegetation
    throughout
    the
    south
    side
    of
    23
    the
    landfill.
    I
    remember
    in
    the
    northwest
    corner
    we
    24
    did
    a
    lot
    of
    work
    there
    in
    grading
    it
    one
    summer,

    regrading
    it,
    trying
    to
    control
    the
    runoff
    in
    Mr.
    2
    Whitley’s
    pond,
    and we did have
    it
    --
    you
    know,
    it
    3
    looked like
    a green
    grass field
    for the summer,
    and
    4
    then
    the
    next
    spring
    it
    really
    didn’t
    hold
    the
    --
    it
    5
    was
    washed
    away.
    6
    Q.
    Now,
    this
    map,
    People’s
    Exhibit
    68,
    was
    7
    prepared
    I
    think
    by
    Steve
    Brao
    and
    Noble
    Earth
    to
    8
    assist
    in
    the
    soil
    borings
    he
    was
    taking,
    correct?
    9
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    10
    Q.
    When
    did
    Watts
    decide
    to
    perform
    these
    soil
    11
    borings?
    12
    A.
    We contacted Noble
    Earth Corporation
    to
    do
    it
    13
    it was
    in the early part
    of
    1995.
    Steve was awarded
    a
    14
    contract
    by
    Resource
    Technologies
    to
    do
    the
    CQUA
    work
    15
    on
    the
    installation
    of
    the
    gas
    system
    and
    at
    that
    time
    16
    we
    asked
    him
    if
    he
    would
    be
    interested
    in
    performing
    17
    the
    --
    you
    know,
    looking
    at
    the
    cover
    thicknesses
    18
    on-site,
    and
    he
    said
    he
    would,
    and
    we
    asked
    him
    to
    19
    submit
    a
    proposal,
    and
    he
    did.
    20
    Q.
    And
    that
    was
    this
    summer,
    is
    that
    what
    you
    21
    said?
    22
    A.
    Probably we got the proposal sometime
    this
    23
    summer,
    24
    Q.
    What
    prompted
    your
    decision
    to
    perform
    the

    1
    soil
    borings?
    2
    A.
    Basically,
    you
    know,
    we
    were
    confident
    that,
    3
    you
    know,
    we
    had
    adequate
    cover,
    but
    we
    felt
    that
    the
    4
    burden
    of proof would
    be on us with the Agency,
    so
    S
    that’s what prompted
    it.
    6
    Q.
    And
    did
    Watts
    give
    Mr.
    Brao
    and
    the
    Noble
    7
    Earth
    Corporation
    a
    deadline
    for
    performing
    the
    soil
    8
    borings?
    9
    A.
    No.
    10
    Q.
    Was
    it
    anticipated
    or
    expected
    by
    Watts
    that
    11
    the
    soil
    borings
    would
    be
    completed
    prior
    to
    the
    12
    hearing
    of this
    case?
    13
    A.
    That
    was
    our
    intention,
    but
    we
    didn’t
    say
    it
    14
    had
    to
    be
    done
    by
    that
    date.
    I
    think
    when
    we
    entered
    15
    into
    the
    contract
    we
    assumed
    it
    would
    be.
    16
    Q.
    And
    I
    think
    you
    testified
    earlier
    that
    all
    of
    17
    the work
    --
    it
    was
    not
    just
    a
    matter
    of
    taking
    soil
    18
    borings,
    number
    one,
    there
    were
    some
    other
    tests
    19
    regarding
    permeability
    that
    needed
    to
    be
    performed
    20
    after
    that,
    if
    I
    remember
    Mr.
    Brao’s
    testimony
    21
    correctly.
    22
    A.
    Yeah.
    There
    are
    various
    different
    types
    of
    23
    permeability
    tests.
    In
    this
    case
    it’s
    not
    an
    in
    situ
    24
    permeability,
    it’s
    a
    lab
    permeability
    where
    you
    look
    CAPITOL
    REPORTING
    SERVICE,

    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-
    525-6167

    869
    1
    at
    the
    properties
    of
    the
    soil
    itself
    and
    see
    what
    type
    2
    of permeabilities
    it
    is
    able
    to obtain
    in the lab
    3
    conditions.
    And then you take
    that
    information
    --
    4
    there’s
    a lot
    of different
    --
    you
    use
    a
    proctor
    and
    5
    you
    come
    up
    with
    a
    correlation
    between
    the
    moisture
    6
    density
    relationship,
    and
    you
    make
    an
    assumption
    that
    7
    by
    this
    moisture
    density
    relationship,
    if
    you
    8
    compacted
    the
    soil
    to
    a
    certain
    density
    and
    it
    has
    a
    9
    certain
    moisture
    content,
    you
    will
    achieve
    a
    certain
    10
    permeability.
    11
    Q.
    And
    I
    think
    you
    said
    earlier
    that
    those
    --
    12
    the
    tests
    or
    the
    analysis
    of
    the
    soil
    is
    still
    13
    ongoing,
    is
    that
    --
    14
    A.
    I
    called
    the
    lab
    yesterday
    and
    the
    lab
    15
    manager
    that
    I’ve
    been
    communicating
    was
    not
    in
    and
    he
    16
    was
    supposed
    to
    call
    me
    back
    and
    I
    haven’t
    heard
    from
    17
    him.
    18
    Q.
    But
    in any event,
    you haven’t gotten
    results
    19
    from
    them
    yet,
    is
    that
    true?
    20
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    21
    Q.
    Now,
    looking
    at
    this Exhibit
    68,
    I
    guess,
    22
    first
    of
    all,
    would you agree
    that this
    is
    an accurate
    23
    representation
    of the facility?
    24
    A.
    In
    some
    areas
    it
    is
    and

    other

    there

    have
    been
    changes
    to
    the
    --
    you know,
    to what these
    2
    contours
    would
    represent.
    3
    Q.
    Okay.
    Who
    --
    you
    said
    Surdex
    prepared
    this
    4
    for
    you?
    5
    A.
    There’s
    been
    a
    couple
    different
    companies.
    6
    Surdex
    was
    one
    company
    we’ve
    hired
    and
    another
    company
    7
    I
    think
    we’ve
    hired
    is

    8
    Q.
    Tom,
    do
    you
    know
    what
    the
    maximum
    permitted
    9
    elevation
    for
    the
    Taylor
    Ridge
    Landfill
    is?
    10
    A.
    It’s
    like
    765
    I
    think.
    11
    Q.
    Now,
    this
    is
    a
    permit
    1995-374
    SP.
    It
    was
    12
    the
    January
    1996
    permit.
    We’ve
    already
    offered
    it
    13
    into
    evidence.
    I
    believe
    it
    was
    Exhibit
    59,
    but
    if
    14
    you
    can
    double-check
    for
    me.

    Tom,
    would
    looking
    at
    this

    refresh
    18
    your

    as
    to
    the

    maximum
    19
    elevation
    of
    the

    20
    A.
    I’d
    have
    to
    see
    it
    to
    --
    2.
    Q.
    This
    one
    is
    not
    marked
    with
    an

    22
    number,
    but
    I think you can probably

    23
    A.
    It’s listed
    as
    760 feet
    MSL.
    24
    Q.
    Okay.
    And
    MSL
    is

    level?

    1
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    2

    And you agree

    is
    3
    the

    of

    4
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    5
    Q.
    I
    want
    you
    to
    look
    again
    at

    68.
    6
    Please
    identify
    for

    what

    If
    I
    can
    direct

    attention,
    there’s

    to
    look
    at.
    9
    Around
    in
    this
    area?
    10
    A.
    I
    see
    some
    770s.
    It’s
    kind
    of
    hard
    to
    read
    11
    the

    775.
    I
    think
    this
    one
    here
    might
    be
    775.
    12
    Q.
    And
    a 776
    or 778 over here?
    13

    I
    can’t
    tell
    whether

    The

    on

    for

    we’re
    looking

    20
    Q.
    So the contours
    on this map,
    Tom,
    would you

    show

    Yes.

    3

    That’s
    debatable.
    4
    Q.
    Go
    ahead
    and
    explain.
    5
    A.
    That’s
    a stockpile
    of

    that we put up

    there.
    It’s
    not

    Have

    10
    A.

    for

    11
    Modification
    that
    was
    recently

    I
    mean
    the

    I

    so.

    I

    SPRINGFIELD,

    217-525-6267

    873
    1
    same
    as
    People’s
    Exhibit
    68?
    I
    mean
    the

    that
    2
    are shown?
    3
    A.
    See,
    up in here they
    look
    at the same,
    and
    4
    I’m trying
    to see
    if down

    at the bottom,
    it would
    5
    be

    corner,

    Let
    me
    ask
    you
    this
    then,
    since
    we’re
    talking
    9
    about
    People’s
    Exhibit
    3.
    would
    you
    say
    based
    on
    what
    10
    you
    know
    about
    the
    site,
    was
    this
    the
    last
    aerial
    11
    survey
    that
    was
    made
    of
    the
    landfill?
    12
    A.
    You know,
    I wouldn’t be able
    to tell without
    13
    looking
    at
    the
    two
    different
    ones
    that
    we
    have
    done
    in
    14
    recent
    years.
    15
    Q.
    Okay.
    Well,
    why
    don’t
    you
    look
    at
    People’s
    16
    Exhibit
    3
    then
    and
    tell
    me
    what
    the
    contours
    indicate
    17
    in
    the
    same
    area
    we
    were
    looking
    at
    before?
    What
    are
    18
    the
    maximum
    numbers
    there?
    19
    A.
    I
    see
    a
    775.
    20
    Q.
    And that’s
    above the maximum permitted
    height
    21
    of the landfill,
    correct?
    22
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    23
    Q.
    And
    that
    was
    the
    survey
    that
    was
    prepared
    for

    of
    whether
    the
    landfill
    is
    overheight
    or
    not?
    A.
    A
    lot
    of
    the
    material
    up
    on
    top
    of
    that
    landfill
    is
    cover
    dirt,
    stockpiled
    soil
    from
    when
    this
    aerial photo was taken.
    There
    are still areas
    up
    there
    that
    I
    know
    of
    that
    we
    have
    six,
    seven,
    eight
    feet
    of
    cover material.
    As the drillers drilled down
    on
    that
    top
    area
    through
    the
    cover,
    there
    was,
    you
    know,
    a
    lot
    of
    cover
    on
    top
    before
    we
    hit
    garbage.
    Q.
    There’s
    currently material being stockpiled
    at
    the
    top
    of
    the
    landfill,
    is
    that
    your
    testimony?
    A.
    There’s
    stockpiled
    material
    up
    there,
    but
    we’re
    not
    moving
    material
    to
    stockpile
    it
    now.
    It’s
    old
    spoils
    piles
    from
    before.
    Q.
    Now,
    have
    gas
    extraction
    wells
    been
    installed
    in
    that
    area?
    A.
    Yes,
    they
    have.
    Q.
    Wouldn’t
    it be very difficult
    to go
    in there
    move
    cover
    material
    once
    the
    gas
    extraction
    wells
    in
    place?
    and
    are
    A.
    Not
    necessarily.

    Is
    it

    Do
    you
    have
    any
    plans
    to
    --
    or
    let
    me
    ask
    you
    8
    this.
    Was
    a
    new
    survey
    prepared
    for
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    9
    resubmittal
    that was just made
    to the Agency?
    10
    A.
    Not
    that
    I
    --
    I
    would
    say
    no.
    11
    Q.
    Does
    Watts
    have
    any
    plans
    to
    prepare
    a
    new
    12
    survey
    that
    would
    indicate
    what
    the
    elevated
    --
    what
    13
    the
    contours
    of
    the
    site
    are?
    14
    A.
    I
    think
    we’re
    required
    to
    do
    that
    on
    a
    15
    biennial
    basis,
    every two years,
    and we had planned
    to
    16
    do
    it
    in
    ‘97.
    17
    Q.
    And
    if you do have material
    stockpiled
    at the
    18
    top
    of
    the
    site
    where
    gas
    extraction
    wells
    have
    now
    19
    been
    installed,
    when
    do
    you
    plan
    to
    move
    it?
    20
    A.
    You
    know,
    we
    can
    move
    it
    at
    any
    time
    we
    need
    21
    to.
    I mean
    --
    22
    Q.
    At
    this
    point
    do
    you
    have

    Do you want to

    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Is there
    any
    9
    objection?
    10
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Yes,
    there
    is
    an
    objection.
    11
    First
    of
    all,
    we
    don’t
    know
    if
    this
    map
    reflects
    12
    current
    conditions
    at the landfill.
    Apparently,
    it’s
    13
    a
    map
    from
    1983.
    14
    Number
    two,
    you
    know,
    obviously
    they’re
    trying
    to
    15
    prove
    that
    Watts
    has
    filled
    beyond
    its
    permitted
    16
    boundaries.
    That’s
    not
    an
    allegation
    that
    was
    ever
    17
    made
    in
    the
    complaint.
    This
    is
    the
    first
    time
    we’ve
    18
    ever
    heard
    of
    anything
    along
    those
    lines
    in
    this
    case.
    19
    The
    first
    time
    I
    have
    seen
    this
    map
    marked
    as
    an
    20
    exhibit
    is today.
    You know,
    why haven’t they provided
    21
    me this map two months
    ago,
    if
    in
    fact
    they had it?
    22
    mean this
    is just
    incredible
    that they wait until,
    you
    23
    know,
    two hours before
    we’re done with
    a hearing
    24
    that’s lasted three days and has been on file for

    know
    where
    it
    came

    This
    came
    from

    7
    You
    gave
    it
    to
    us
    at

    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    You’ve
    seen
    this
    map
    9
    before.
    10
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    It
    came
    from
    Steve
    Brao.
    11
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    I’m
    going
    to
    admit
    12
    it.
    13
    (People’s Exhibit Number
    68 admitted.)
    14
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    I
    just
    want
    to
    go
    on
    record.
    15
    I
    think
    that’s
    really
    stretching
    and
    I
    think
    it
    is
    16
    really
    incredible
    that
    this
    case
    would
    be
    on
    file
    for
    17
    two
    years
    and
    then
    at
    the
    last
    minute
    they
    bring
    18
    something
    like
    this
    in
    with
    an
    attempt
    to
    prove
    an
    19
    overfill
    where
    we
    have
    had
    no
    opportunity
    to
    defend
    20
    ourselves
    on this.
    It’s
    just
    incredible.
    21
    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON:
    For the record,
    we’ve
    22
    had this map
    --
    we got this map at the last minute,
    if
    23
    you want
    to say,
    from your witness,
    Mr.
    Brao,
    You’ve
    24
    had this map and you could have looked
    at
    it

    Okay.
    That’s
    enough
    fighting
    back
    and
    forth.
    The
    map
    has
    been
    admitted.
    We have
    two hours
    to finish this hearing,
    so
    let’s

    MR.
    DAVIS:
    Ms.
    Hearing
    Officer,
    we
    are
    not
    fighting.
    We
    are
    responding
    to
    accusations
    as
    have
    been raised
    continually.
    And the filing of the
    complaint
    was

    of

    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Okay.
    And
    stated
    that
    and
    Charlie
    has
    stated
    that.
    Let’s
    move
    on
    at
    this
    point.
    Mr.
    Northrup,
    I
    remind
    you
    that
    you
    can
    always
    request
    that
    the
    Board
    overrule
    me,
    but
    you
    have
    to
    do
    so
    in
    writing
    and
    restate
    your
    objection.
    It
    doesn’t
    --
    it’s
    not
    good
    enough
    to
    just
    state
    it
    orally
    at
    hearing.
    Let’s

    on
    Q.
    Moving
    on
    to
    the
    February
    14,
    1994
    inspection
    that was conducted
    by James
    Kammueller,
    you testified
    earlier you were present
    with him during that
    inspect
    ion?
    That’s
    correct
    Okay.
    And you did not dispute
    the statements
    with
    regard
    to
    never
    monitoring
    outfall
    002

    you

    and not monitoring
    outfall 001 for
    a period
    of
    --
    2
    whatever period
    is indicated
    in Mr. Kammueller’s
    3
    report?
    4
    A.
    I don’t
    dispute
    the not monitoring
    002,
    but
    I
    5
    do dispute
    001.
    6
    Q.
    Now,
    with outfall
    001,
    in Mr. Kammueller’s
    7
    inspection
    report,
    which
    is People’s Exhibit
    7,
    he
    8
    indicates
    that outfall
    001 had not been monitored
    9
    since February
    of
    1992.
    Is that
    an accurate
    10
    statement?
    Do you agree with that?
    11
    A.
    We had not had a discharge
    that we pumped
    12
    that we monitored,
    no.
    13
    Q.
    So your testimony
    is that your interpretation
    14
    of your NPDES
    permit
    was that only those discharges
    15
    that you were actively pumping had to be monitored?
    16
    A.
    That’s correct.
    27
    Q.
    And
    is
    it now your understanding
    that
    that
    18
    interpretation
    of the permit
    is incorrect?
    19
    A.
    I don’t
    agree with his interpretation.
    20
    Q.
    After Mr. Kammueller’s
    inspection
    of February
    21
    1994
    and having just stated that you didn’t
    agree with
    22
    his interpretation,
    does that
    mean you’re not going
    to
    23
    --
    you weren’t
    going
    to continue
    --
    begin monitoring
    24
    outfall
    001?

    A
    We monitor

    of
    the permit
    Q.
    Now,
    during the site inspection you observed
    discharge
    exiting the site with Mr.
    Kammueller,
    did
    you not
    A.
    Yes,
    I did
    Q.
    And that was
    in the area
    of
    outfall
    001?
    A.
    There
    was
    a small
    discharge
    at outfall
    001.
    Q.
    And that was the discharge you mentioned
    earlier
    or you testified
    earlier
    that you then went
    back after
    the inspection
    to try to take
    a sample,
    correct
    .7
    A.
    That’s
    correct
    Q.
    And when you got there,
    the discharge was
    small
    at you could not get
    a sample?
    A.
    Not really.
    I mean
    I was
    --
    I
    would have
    to
    dig around
    in, you know,
    it
    just
    --
    it was just very
    minute.
    There
    just wasn’t
    that much
    snowmelt.
    Q.
    I think you testified
    earlier that
    the
    sample
    amount
    that you were required to take pursuant
    to that
    NPDES permit was three aliquots,
    correct?
    A.
    No.
    Three equal
    aliquots.
    Q.
    Three
    equal aliquots

    And you indicated
    that that was
    a very
    small
    5
    amount,
    I think
    in your earlier
    testimony,
    an aliquot?
    6
    A.
    Well,
    an aliquot
    in the permit
    is defined
    as
    7
    a hundred milliliters.
    B
    Q.
    Which
    I think you indicated was
    a very small
    9
    amount
    10
    A.
    It’s
    a tenth of
    a liter.
    11
    Q.
    And you were
    not able
    to get that amount
    for
    12
    a sample
    from the discharge?
    13
    A.
    No,
    I didn’t say that.
    It was
    --
    you
    know,
    14
    the discharge
    was
    so
    small,
    you know,
    it just
    --
    I
    15
    didn’t
    think
    it was a monitorable
    event.
    16
    Q.
    And so then when you report
    no discharge
    on
    17
    your DMR for February
    1994,
    you
    in fact knew there was
    18
    a discharge
    in February
    2994,
    is that correct?
    19
    A.
    I
    seen small
    amounts
    of runoff leaving the
    20
    site
    but not what
    I would attribute
    as
    a monitorable
    21
    discharge.
    22
    Q.
    So instead
    of indicating
    on your DMR that
    23
    there was discharge but
    a small
    amount,
    you just put
    24
    no discharge,
    which
    is not entirely
    accurate,
    correct?

    A.
    Then
    I
    filled
    it
    out
    incorrectly.
    2
    Q.
    Are you still
    signing DMRs
    at this time?
    3
    A.
    No,
    I’m not.
    No,
    I’m not.
    4
    Q.
    Under
    the
    new
    permit
    have
    you
    signed
    any
    5
    DMRs?
    6
    A.
    No,
    I
    have
    not
    7
    Q.
    Who
    signs
    those
    DMRs?
    8
    A.
    I
    think
    they’re
    signed
    by
    Jerry
    Eilers.
    It
    9
    was also pointed out that
    I did not have
    the authority
    10
    to
    sign
    DMRs.
    11
    Q.
    Now,
    for
    outfall
    002
    that
    you
    admittedly
    had
    12
    not monitored
    since
    1986 when the permit was issued,
    13
    you also
    continually
    reported no discharge
    from
    1986
    24
    to
    1994,
    correct?
    15
    A.
    I would not know anything previous
    to 1991
    16
    when
    I
    was
    employed.
    17
    Q.
    Okay.
    From
    the time you were employed until
    18
    Mr.
    Kammueller’s
    inspection
    of February 1994,
    no
    19
    discharge
    was
    reported
    for
    outfall
    002?
    20
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    21
    Q.
    And
    you
    indicated
    in
    response
    to
    one
    of
    Mr.
    22
    Northrup’s
    questions
    that you did not intentionally
    23
    file
    a false
    DMR.
    Did you know whether
    --
    did
    you
    24

    to

    occurring?
    2
    A.
    No.
    3
    Q.
    Now,
    if
    you
    didn’t
    do
    that,
    how
    could
    you
    4
    accurately
    and
    truthfully
    report
    that
    there
    were
    no
    S
    discharges?
    6
    A.
    I couldn’t.
    7
    Q.
    And
    yet,
    that’s
    what
    you
    reported
    and
    those
    8
    are
    the
    DMR5
    you
    signed?
    9
    A.
    I did
    it
    wrong.
    10
    Q.
    Now,
    do
    you
    know
    how
    many
    outfalls
    --
    I
    21
    realize
    you’ve
    said
    you’re
    not
    that
    involved
    with
    the
    22
    new NPDES permit.
    Do you know how many outfalls
    13
    you’re
    required
    to monitor under
    that permit?
    14
    A.
    The
    new
    one
    I
    think
    there
    are
    eight.
    15
    Q.
    Have
    you
    had
    any
    problems
    monitoring
    any
    of
    16
    those
    eight
    outfalls?
    27
    A.
    We
    have
    been
    collecting
    samples
    from
    them.
    lB
    I’m
    not
    aware
    that
    we’ve
    had
    real
    difficulty.
    I
    know
    19
    that
    there
    has
    been
    a
    few
    problems,
    a
    few
    glitches
    20
    that we’re

    Do you review those DMRs

    the

    under

    23

    I do not think
    I’ve
    looked
    at
    them.

    A.
    As
    far
    as
    I

    Q.
    And
    is
    there

    in

    A.
    Yes,
    there

    They

    17
    Q.
    What
    does
    the

    23
    when
    the new permit was

    prices
    were
    in

    I

    recent

    just recently,

    before we switched our NPDES

    over,
    I
    happened
    to
    look
    at
    it
    the
    other
    day
    5
    knowing
    that
    I’d
    probably
    get
    asked
    this
    question.
    6
    Q.
    And
    that
    was
    the
    57
    dollars?
    7
    A.
    57 dollars.
    8
    Q.
    So
    for
    the
    time
    prior
    to
    February
    14
    of
    1994
    9
    when you were not sampling
    002 and for the time period
    10
    that you did not sample
    001 you weren’t having
    to pay
    11
    Beling
    Consultants
    for
    any
    analyses,
    correct?
    12
    A.
    Not any NPDES
    analysis.
    13
    Q.
    Right.
    That’s what
    I meant.
    14
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    15
    Q.
    To
    clarify,
    they
    were
    also
    doing
    groundwater
    16
    work
    for
    you?
    17
    A.
    Yes,
    they
    were.
    18
    Q.
    And
    so
    Watts
    then
    realized
    some
    savings
    as
    a
    19
    result
    of
    not
    sampling
    these
    outfalls?

    I guess.

    When

    which
    is the Storm Water
    Pollution
    6
    Prevention
    Plan
    prepared
    pursuant
    to
    the
    NPDES
    permit,
    7
    does
    Watts
    rely
    on
    that
    plan?
    B
    A.
    Yes,
    we
    do.
    9
    Q.
    Is
    that
    plan
    required
    by
    permit?
    10
    A.
    It’s
    required
    by
    our
    NPDES
    permit.
    12
    Q.
    What
    does
    the
    permit
    require
    with
    respect
    to
    12
    the preparation
    of that plan?
    Do you know?
    13
    A.
    I
    think
    it has to be within our operating
    14
    record
    within
    280
    days
    after
    the
    issuance
    of

    16
    Q.
    Does
    the
    permit
    require
    you
    to
    notify
    --
    17
    strike that.
    Does
    the permit
    require you
    to submit
    28
    that
    plan
    to
    the
    Agency?
    19
    A.
    No,
    it
    does
    not.
    20
    Q.
    Does
    it require
    any kind
    of notification
    at
    21
    all to the Agency?
    22
    A.
    Not that
    I’m aware
    of.
    23
    Q.
    You
    said
    the
    landfill
    has
    reoccurring
    24
    problems with leachate.
    Do you recall
    that?

    indicated
    that
    a

    revision
    was
    submitted
    in

    November.
    12
    A.
    Yes.
    13
    Q.
    Did that cost revision contain
    figures
    14
    related
    to
    closure
    of
    the
    gas
    management
    system?
    15
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    did.

    You
    also

    have.
    20
    Q.
    Is the west

    is

    is
    --
    you know,
    I don’t
    know,
    three,
    7
    four years
    old.
    It was flown
    during
    a time when we
    8
    were doing
    a lot
    of excavation
    in the northeast
    corner
    9
    of
    the site and all the material
    that we were
    10
    excavating
    out was being

    Q.
    And that

    14
    A.
    Some
    of
    it has been removed.
    We had

    different

    up there
    with different
    material.
    16
    We had
    a very good blue clay that we stockpiled
    in one
    17
    area.
    We had a different
    brown
    clay that
    we
    18
    stockpiled
    in another
    area.
    And then we had just
    19
    other
    soil
    that we would have no use for like
    in
    20
    constructing
    liners or cover material,
    and we
    21
    stockpiled
    that
    in another
    area.
    And in the last
    22
    three or four years we have slowly removed some
    of
    23
    that material
    for daily cover operations,
    intermediate
    24
    cover.
    We’ve removed
    some
    of the blue clay for liner

    material,
    to construct
    our liners
    with.
    2
    So
    it’s
    an ongoing process
    of
    --
    and it’s
    a
    common
    3
    practice
    at most landfills
    to stockpile
    soils on top
    4
    of
    the landfills.
    You know,
    it’s
    a place
    that’s close
    5
    to the after burial
    where you’re
    going
    to need
    it.
    We
    6
    don’t want
    to haul
    it necessarily
    to
    a
    much further
    7
    distance
    where
    it would take longer
    to get
    it
    to, we’d
    B
    use more
    fuel,
    we wouldn’t be able
    to move
    as much
    9
    soil because it’s
    a greater
    distance.
    And it’s also
    10
    been used
    in the past
    to increase settlement.
    At one
    21
    landfill
    I
    used,
    we stockpiled
    I don’t
    know how many
    12
    millions
    of cubic yards
    on top of
    a landfill
    and we
    13
    went
    in and removed
    that stockpile
    when there
    was a
    14
    need
    for
    it, and the landfill had settled
    ten to
    15
    fifteen
    feet,
    and we were
    able to add another
    lift
    of
    16
    garbage across
    the top of the landfill.
    17
    Q.
    Do you know the purpose
    of why this map,

    was originally prepared?

    did the aerial

    Both.
    22
    A.
    First
    of
    all
    --
    and
    I don’t remember which
    23
    company flew
    it.
    It was flown because
    we needed to
    24
    have
    an aerial or
    I

    we didn’t
    necessarily have

    have an aerial
    for the Sig Mod,
    but we had to have
    a
    2
    topographical
    map.
    One
    of the easiest and cheapest
    3
    ways
    to obtain
    that
    is
    --
    on such
    a large
    area
    like
    4
    this
    is with an aerial
    survey.
    That’s what
    this was
    5
    originally prepared for when we started work on the
    6
    Sig Mod,
    which would have been,
    you know,
    three,
    four
    7
    years
    ago.
    8
    Noble Earth Corporation we supplied this map to
    9
    them
    just
    as
    a way that
    they could document the areas
    10
    that they probed the landfill
    cover
    to document
    the
    11
    thickness
    of
    it and to help them track the locations
    12
    where
    they pulled samples.
    13
    Q.
    Are you familiar with aerial surveys?
    14
    A.
    Yeah.
    15
    Q.
    How accurate
    are they?
    16
    A.
    They’re
    only
    as accurate
    as the
    land survey
    17
    that’s
    performed,
    the ground survey
    that supplies
    --
    18
    the ground
    -
    -
    they take
    a picture
    of the area with
    a
    29
    plane,
    just
    with
    a
    regular
    --
    it’s
    a
    specialized
    20
    camera but it’s
    --
    and you get
    a picture,
    a photograph
    21
    of
    it,
    and
    they
    scan
    that
    photograph,
    and
    by
    scanning
    22
    it,
    the
    computer
    can
    pick
    up
    the
    changes
    of
    elevations
    23
    relative
    to
    each
    other.
    But
    you
    have
    to
    give
    them
    the
    24
    baseline
    information.
    And
    so
    you
    establish

    And
    in

    2
    established

    you
    know,

    much
    as

    half
    mile
    3
    or
    a
    mile
    away
    from

    We
    did

    and

    we
    6
    established
    these
    points.
    And
    those
    points
    are
    known,
    7
    you
    know,
    done
    by
    a
    ground
    survey.
    And
    those
    points
    8
    then are entered into the computer and then the
    9
    computer
    adjust

    you

    do
    you

    16
    A.
    No,
    I
    don’t
    think
    we
    --
    we do
    not.
    We’ve
    17
    implemented
    a
    program
    where
    we’re
    trying
    to
    eliminate
    18
    as many discharge
    points
    as possible
    so we only
    have

    leaving
    the
    site
    at
    the
    minimum
    amount
    of
    20
    points,
    and
    I
    think we’d like
    to try to get down
    to
    21
    four
    points.
    22
    Q.
    What have you done

    is
    what
    the

    is
    supposed

    Q.
    And what
    does
    that permit require?
    13
    A.
    Several things.
    There’s
    a requirement
    for
    14
    groundwater
    removal.
    Basically
    we
    had
    to
    construct
    15
    four
    wells
    on
    the
    southeast
    corner
    of
    the

    serve
    as
    a

    some

    soil
    investigation
    around
    our
    20
    shop
    area to make sure that
    that wasn’t contaminating
    21
    the groundwater.
    It’s also required
    some additional
    22
    monitoring
    of groundwater wells
    on an annual basis
    for
    23
    volatile organic
    compounds.

    then
    the

    basically
    surround
    the

    well,
    you
    know,
    the

    12

    that requirement?
    21
    A.
    Yes.
    We’ve installed
    a bentonite
    slurry wall
    22
    in that section
    of the liner.
    23
    Q.
    Okay.
    And has that been acceptable

    With

    B,
    which
    talks
    about
    8
    proper
    certification
    of
    remainder
    of

    now
    what
    have
    you
    done
    to
    comply
    --
    what
    has
    10
    Watts
    done
    to
    comply
    with
    that?
    11
    A.
    We’ve
    had
    a
    soil

    -
    sidewall
    liner
    12
    investigation
    which the final
    report
    was turned
    in
    in
    13
    early
    November
    of
    this

    That

    will
    be
    the
    14
    third
    one
    issued
    by

    So
    that

    hasn’t
    been

    approved yet?
    18
    A.
    No,
    no,
    that

    Q.
    Okay.
    But
    the

    to
    paragraph
    6,
    which
    discusses
    the
    installation
    of
    2
    best available
    technology
    for noise
    control.
    What has
    3
    Watts
    done
    to
    comply
    with
    that
    requirement?
    4
    A.
    Watts
    contacted
    a
    muffler
    manufacturer
    called
    5
    Nelson
    Muffler
    and
    they
    reviewed
    our
    list
    of

    and
    recommended
    their
    best
    available

    mufflers
    for
    us,
    and
    we
    installed
    that
    equipment
    --
    8
    those
    particular
    mufflers
    on
    our
    equipment.
    9
    Q.
    Let’s
    look
    at paragraph
    7,
    which talks
    about
    10
    implementation
    of
    the
    groundwater
    remediation
    program.
    11
    Is
    it
    your
    understanding
    that
    Watts
    has
    complied
    with
    12
    those requirements?
    13
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    14
    Q.
    Now,
    why
    don’t
    you
    take
    a
    look
    at
    paragraph
    15
    8,
    this
    is
    on
    page
    6,
    which
    talks
    about
    surface
    water
    16
    control
    measures
    as
    required
    by
    permits.
    Now,
    what
    17
    has
    Watts
    done
    to
    comply
    with
    that
    requirement?
    18
    A.
    We’ve
    finished construction
    of the storm
    19
    water
    outfalls
    that
    were
    required
    by
    that
    permit.
    20
    Basically
    they required some concrete pipe being
    --
    to
    21
    90
    from
    a
    mid
    slope
    terrace
    down
    to
    the
    level,
    that
    22
    was to cut down
    on erosion and keep erosion from
    23
    destroying
    the side
    slopes.

    MR.

    5
    Q.
    Mr.
    Reiser,
    pursuant
    to
    the
    original
    judgment
    6
    order
    entered
    in
    February
    of
    1994
    the
    Sangamon
    Valley
    7
    Landfill
    was
    supposed
    to
    initiate
    closure
    by
    May
    31st
    8
    of
    ‘94,
    isn’t
    that
    correct?
    9
    A.
    Yeah.
    10
    Q.
    And
    shortly
    thereafter,
    during
    June
    of
    1994
    11
    the
    landfill
    ceased
    accepting
    commercial
    hauling
    tips?
    12
    A.
    Correct.
    13
    Q.
    Okay.
    And subsequent
    to that,
    John,
    in
    14
    February,
    I
    believe
    of
    1994,
    pursuant
    to
    the
    first
    15
    contempt
    order,
    your
    landfill
    ceased
    accepting
    all
    16
    wastes?
    17
    A.
    ‘90?
    18
    Q.
    ‘95?
    19
    A.
    ‘95,
    right,
    okay.
    20
    Q.
    Being
    shut down has not prevented you from
    21
    implementing
    these corrective
    action and corrective
    --
    22
    and compliance
    measures,
    has
    it?
    23
    A.
    Yeah,
    that’s
    what we’ve been working
    on since
    24
    we’ve been shut
    down.

    1
    Q.
    Sure.
    Recently
    with
    the
    filing
    of
    the
    local
    2
    siting petition the Watts
    companies
    paid
    a filing
    fee
    3
    of
    200,000 dollars
    to Sangamon County,
    did they not?
    4
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    5
    Q.
    And
    recently
    the
    Watts
    companies
    paid
    --
    made
    6
    a
    payment
    toward
    penalty
    of
    129,500
    and
    something,
    did
    7
    they
    not?
    8
    A.
    That’s
    correct
    9
    Q.
    Would you agree,
    John,
    that there
    seems
    to be
    10
    approximately
    150,000
    dollars
    remaining
    to
    be
    paid
    on
    1.
    the
    original
    penalty?
    12
    A.
    Correct.
    13
    Q.
    Would
    you
    also
    agree
    that
    there
    would
    be
    14
    200,000
    dollars
    on
    the
    contempt
    sanction
    to
    be
    paid?
    15
    A.
    If
    --
    yeah,
    I
    think
    it’s
    --
    I’m
    not
    exactly
    16
    sure
    on
    the
    contempt
    whether
    the
    judge
    has
    affirmed
    17
    that
    or
    not,
    but
    the
    200,000
    I
    --
    probably
    that’s
    in
    18
    one of those
    reports,
    but
    I’ll believe you
    if you say
    19
    so.

    we

    (A

    we would

    909
    1
    Q,
    Now,
    Ken,
    as
    indicated,
    you
    previously
    gave
    2
    testimony
    during
    the
    October
    29
    and
    30th
    hearing
    in
    3
    this
    matter,
    correct?
    4
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    S
    Q.
    And
    at that time you had not had an
    6
    opportunity
    to
    review
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    resubmittal,
    as
    7
    we’ve
    been
    calling
    it,
    from
    Watts?
    8
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    9
    Q.
    At
    this
    point
    in
    time
    have
    you
    or
    the
    10
    groundwater
    unit
    of
    the
    Agency
    been
    able
    to
    perform
    a
    11
    review
    of
    that
    submittal?
    12
    A.
    Yes,
    we
    have.
    13
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Okay.
    I’m
    going
    to
    object
    at
    14
    this
    point.
    I’m
    going
    to
    object
    to
    any
    testimony
    from
    15
    Mr.
    Liss
    on
    the
    --
    his
    review
    of
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    16
    resubmittal.
    I
    believe
    when
    we
    left
    off
    at
    the
    17
    hearing
    on
    the
    30th,
    the
    issue
    of
    rebuttal
    witnesses
    18
    came
    up.
    I
    was
    specifically
    allowed
    the
    opportunity
    19
    to
    depose
    anyone
    that
    the
    Agency
    --
    that
    the
    AG
    would
    20
    call
    as
    a
    rebuttal
    witness
    specifically
    with
    regard
    to
    21
    the Sig Mod resubmittal.
    I have
    not been given
    that
    22
    opportunity.
    I
    have
    not
    been
    notified
    that
    Mr.
    Liss
    23
    was going
    to testify
    today.
    Therefore,
    I’m objecting
    24
    to any of his testimony.

    I

    MS.
    SYMONS-JACKSON;
    Well,
    if
    I
    could
    back
    up.
    At
    the
    previous
    hearing
    I
    think
    we
    indicated
    in
    conclusion
    of
    our
    hearing
    that
    we
    would
    be
    submitting
    this

    to
    the

    including
    someone

    Ken
    Liss,
    and
    possibly
    someone
    from
    permits
    to
    review,
    and
    that
    was
    the
    purpose
    of
    our
    needing
    additional
    time
    to

    rebuttal
    evidence
    because
    the
    submittal
    was
    sent
    to
    2
    the Agency on October
    18.
    It was not received by them
    3
    until
    less than
    a
    week
    before
    the
    hearing,
    and
    they
    4
    didn’t
    have
    time
    to
    review
    it.
    Mr.
    Northrup
    was
    aware
    5
    of
    our
    intentions
    regarding
    rebuttal
    evidence.
    6
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    In
    response,
    I
    received
    this
    7
    memo
    from
    the
    AG’s
    office
    on
    December
    10th,
    which
    is
    8
    two
    days
    before
    this
    hearing.
    I
    don’t
    think
    that
    9
    gives
    me
    any
    time
    --
    any reasonable
    time
    to review
    it,
    10
    certainly
    to
    depose
    Mr.
    Liss.
    And
    once
    again,
    I
    mean
    11
    I’ll
    just
    state
    right
    out
    of
    the
    transcript
    on

    12
    623,
    and this
    is the Hearing Officer
    speaking,
    “Mr.
    13
    Northrup,
    I did agree
    to let you depose whatever
    14

    that
    I
    don’t

    Yes,

    My

    I
    can

    very
    clear

    we

    you

    objected

    times
    to
    the
    fact
    that
    I

    X
    person
    2
    going
    to testify,
    and she
    said,
    “I

    If you’re talking about
    that conversation
    between
    me
    4
    and
    Amy,
    I
    remember
    that
    clearly.

    MR.
    DAVIS:
    That’s what
    I’m asking you.
    6
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    So
    at
    that
    point
    she
    7
    still was not
    sure who was going
    to be testifying.
    8
    That
    was
    part
    of
    what
    she
    was
    going
    to
    check
    on
    for
    9
    checking
    hearing
    dates.
    10
    I
    am
    not
    going
    to
    allow
    this
    witness
    to
    testify.
    11
    As
    Charlie
    read
    straight
    from
    the
    transcript,
    it
    was
    12
    very clear
    that you were
    to allow him enough
    time
    to
    13
    depose
    a
    witness.
    And
    I know that you objected
    to
    it,
    14
    but
    that
    was
    still
    my
    ruling,
    and
    you
    guys
    did
    not
    try
    15
    to
    have
    the
    Board
    overrule
    that.
    16
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    Then we’ll
    make
    an offer
    of
    17
    proof.
    18
    HEARING
    OFFICER

    That’s
    fine.
    19
    You may do that.

    Q.
    (by Ms.
    Symons-Jackson)
    Ken,
    I believe
    my
    21
    last
    question
    to
    you
    was
    at
    this
    point
    in
    time
    you
    22
    have had an opportunity
    to review the Sig Mod
    23
    resubmittal?
    24
    A.
    Yes,
    that’s correct.

    914
    1
    Q.
    And
    during
    your
    previous
    testimony
    in
    this
    2
    matter you indicated
    that
    it was your opinion,
    based
    3
    on
    your
    review
    of
    all
    available
    information,
    that
    the
    4
    groundwater
    at the Taylor Ridge
    site was classified
    as
    5
    a
    Class
    I
    groundwater,
    is
    that
    accurate?
    6
    A.
    Yes.
    7
    Q.
    Now,
    does
    the Sig Mod submittal
    from Watts
    8
    address
    the
    classification
    of
    groundwater
    at
    the
    site?
    9
    A.
    Incompletely.
    So
    it addresses
    it, but
    it
    10
    does
    not
    address
    all
    of
    the
    units
    at
    the
    site.
    11
    Q.
    Okay.
    12
    A.
    In the classification.
    13
    Q.
    Can you explain
    for me what you mean by that?
    14
    A.
    In
    the
    different
    stratum
    there
    are
    some
    wells
    15
    and
    I guess
    hydraulic
    information
    to attempt
    to
    16
    indicate
    that
    it’s
    Class
    II,
    but
    the
    information
    is
    17
    incomplete
    to verify the validity
    of the data,
    and
    18
    some
    of
    the
    units
    are
    not
    characterized
    with
    respect
    19
    to classification
    in
    that report.
    20
    Q.
    Okay.
    So,
    Ken,
    based
    on
    your
    review
    of
    this
    21
    Sig
    Mod
    submittal,
    what
    is
    your
    opinion
    today
    as
    to
    22
    the classification
    of
    groundwater
    at
    the
    site?
    23
    A.
    I would
    still
    say we would consider
    it Class
    24
    I
    at this
    time.

    915
    1
    Q.
    Briefly,
    one
    other
    area
    to
    touch
    on.
    I
    2
    believe you testified
    prior
    in this case
    that
    an
    3
    assessment
    or
    assessment
    monitoring
    is
    required
    at
    4
    this
    site.
    5
    A.
    Yes,
    6
    Q.
    Of
    the
    groundwater.
    And
    is
    that
    still
    your
    7
    opinion
    today?
    8
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    9
    Q.
    How
    is
    the
    requirement
    of
    assessment
    10
    monitoring
    triggered?
    11
    A.
    Based
    on
    a
    comparison
    of
    groundwater
    data
    at
    12
    the
    site
    where
    we
    find
    exceedences
    over
    the
    background
    13
    or
    exceedences
    over
    State
    standards
    --
    groundwater
    14
    standards.
    15
    Q.
    So
    is
    it
    fair
    to
    say
    when
    an
    exceedence
    or
    an
    16
    event,
    can
    we
    call
    it,
    occurs,
    that
    this
    in
    turn
    17
    requires
    the performance
    of assessment
    monitoring?
    18
    A.
    That’s
    correct.
    19
    Q.
    Now,
    does
    the
    Sig
    Mod
    submittal
    address
    20
    groundwater
    assessment?
    21
    A.
    No,
    it does not.
    22
    Q.
    Is there
    an assessment
    --
    there’s
    not
    an
    23
    assessment
    monitoring plan proposed
    in that Sig Mod
    24
    submittal?

    1
    A.
    There
    is
    information
    provided
    for
    an
    2
    assessment,
    but
    it does not meet
    the rules that are
    3
    applicable
    to
    that
    type
    of
    a
    facility.
    4
    Q.
    And
    so
    is
    it
    your
    opinion
    that
    that
    5
    assessment
    monitoring plan
    that
    is prepared
    is
    6
    incomplete?
    7
    A.
    Yes.
    S
    Q.
    And
    can
    you
    briefly
    tell
    us
    how
    it
    is
    9
    incomplete?
    10
    A.
    It
    does
    not
    contain
    the
    frequency
    of
    11
    monitoring.
    It
    does
    not
    contain
    the
    parameters
    which
    12
    were
    concerned.
    I think there are about

    is
    the

    Now,

    that

    20
    A.
    Yes.
    21
    0.
    And
    does
    the

    adequately
    address

    Has
    a

    3
    A.
    That’s
    correct

    And that was made
    first
    couple weeks

    I
    think
    it

    Q.
    You’re
    not

    8
    A.
    I’m
    not
    quite
    sure.
    I
    think
    it
    was

    is?
    11
    A.
    We
    denied
    it
    based

    incompleteness.
    Do
    you

    want

    Q.
    When
    did
    you
    deny

    20
    A.

    the

    I

    yesterday,

    22
    Q.
    Has
    Watts
    --
    how
    has
    Watts
    been
    notified
    of
    23
    that denial?
    24
    A.
    The notification
    would have been mailed

    yesterday.
    2
    Q.
    Now,
    this
    is
    an incompleteness
    denial,
    so
    3
    does
    that
    mean
    that
    Watts
    has
    an
    opportunity
    to
    make
    4
    it complete?
    5
    A.
    There
    is
    some
    information
    on
    the

    above
    the

    signature

    resubmitting
    the
    8
    application,
    and
    a
    time
    frame.
    9
    Q.
    With
    respect
    to
    resubmitting
    the
    application,
    10
    what
    is
    the
    time
    frame
    associated
    with
    that?
    11
    A.
    I
    think
    it’s
    35
    days.
    12
    Q.
    If
    in
    fact
    this
    --
    these
    incompleteness
    13
    points
    are
    addressed,
    something
    is
    resubmitted
    within
    14
    35
    days,
    what
    happens
    then?
    15
    A.
    We
    will
    look
    at
    that
    for
    completeness.
    16
    Q.
    Basically
    do
    your
    completeness
    review
    all
    17
    over
    again?
    18
    A.
    Correct.
    19
    Q.
    If
    it
    is
    deemed
    complete,
    what
    happens?
    20
    A.
    We’ll
    do
    a
    full
    technical
    review.
    21
    Q.
    If
    it
    is
    incomplete,
    what
    happens?
    22
    A.
    We will deny
    it based
    on incompleteness.
    23
    Q.
    Which would give Watts
    another
    35 days
    to

    I
    think
    so.

    919
    1
    Q.
    Would
    you
    consider
    portions
    of
    the
    2
    groundwater
    at
    the facility to be Class
    II
    3
    groundwater?
    4
    A.
    As
    I
    testified
    previously,
    I
    think
    there’s
    a
    5
    potential
    that
    one
    of
    the
    units
    could
    be
    classified
    as
    6
    Class
    II.
    7
    Q.
    Are
    you
    familiar
    with
    the
    original
    Sig
    Mod
    8
    that
    was
    submitted
    for
    the
    Taylor
    Ridge
    facility?
    9
    A.
    The
    one
    that
    was
    denied
    in
    February
    of
    ‘95?
    10
    Q.
    Right.
    11
    A.
    Yeah,
    I’m
    familiar
    with
    it
    12
    Q.
    Did the Agency perform
    a technical review on
    13
    that?
    14
    A.
    I think
    the denial was based
    on a technical
    15
    review.
    16
    Q.
    So
    in
    other
    words,
    that
    application
    was
    17
    complete?
    18
    A.
    That
    would
    indicate
    it’s
    complete.
    Or
    it
    19
    could
    be
    the
    Agency
    passed
    its
    technical
    completeness
    20
    review
    time period.
    If
    we don’t perform
    a technical
    21
    completeness
    within
    so many days,
    30
    days,
    and issue
    a
    22
    letter
    of incompleteness,
    we have
    to do
    a full
    23
    technical
    review.
    I don’t
    think we’re required
    to
    do
    24
    a completeness
    review.

    Do

    No,

    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Anything
    else?
    7
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    Ms.
    Hearing
    Officer,
    let
    me
    take
    8
    just
    a
    minute
    here
    to
    state
    something.
    9
    First
    of
    all,
    we
    opposed
    the
    request
    for
    10
    deposition.
    We
    objected.
    We
    didn’t
    disagree
    with
    11
    your
    ruling.
    We
    didn’t
    seek
    any
    appeal
    of
    it.
    We
    did
    12
    attempt
    to comply by giving notice.
    Obviously or
    13
    apparently,
    that was insufficient.
    14
    But
    what
    we’ve
    done
    here
    on
    an
    offer
    of
    proof
    has
    15
    been
    in
    good
    faith.
    What
    Mr.
    Northrup
    has
    done
    is
    to
    16
    avail
    himself
    of
    cross-examination
    and
    to
    go
    beyond
    17
    the
    scope
    of
    our
    offer
    of
    proof.
    Now
    he
    has
    18
    acquiesced
    in
    that.
    He
    has
    waived
    any
    claim
    of
    19
    prejudice.
    And
    that’s
    what
    I
    wanted
    to
    say.
    20
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Okay.
    Well,
    you
    can
    21
    bring that issue before the Board because
    it will
    be
    22
    up
    to the Board as
    to whether
    or not they’re
    going
    to
    23
    accept
    the offer
    of proof,
    and I’m going
    to leave
    it
    24
    to them to decide.

    2
    HEARING OFFICER

    And
    if you want
    to

    use
    that

    you
    certainly
    may.
    4
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    I
    think
    I’ll
    have
    to.
    S
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Let
    me
    just
    respond,
    too.
    I
    6
    mean
    that’s
    --
    the
    purpose
    of
    being
    given
    the
    7
    opportunity
    to
    depose
    anybody
    you
    were
    going
    to
    call
    S
    was to be able
    to go into certain things
    in depth what
    9
    their
    testimony
    was
    going
    to
    be.
    I
    have
    been
    denied
    10
    that
    opportunity.
    It
    was
    stated
    at
    the
    last
    hearing
    11
    on
    the
    30th
    if
    witnesses
    were
    going
    to
    be
    called,
    I
    12
    was going
    to have Steve Keith here from Milwaukee
    to
    13
    assist
    in
    that.
    Since
    I
    did
    not
    know,
    I
    was
    not
    14
    availed
    of
    the
    opportunity
    to
    have
    my
    people
    here
    to
    15
    effectively
    cross-examine
    Mr.
    Liss.
    I
    have
    not
    waived
    16
    anything by asking him some follow-up questions
    to
    17
    your
    questions.
    18
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    May
    I?
    19
    What
    was
    the
    date
    on
    the
    document
    that
    we
    faxed
    to

    Where
    would

    4

    So
    it
    looks,
    Charlie,
    as
    9
    if
    we turned
    it
    right around
    to you after we got
    it.
    10
    MR.

    Oh,
    that’s
    what
    it
    looks
    like,

    I

    A.
    My name
    is Joyce Munie.
    I’m the Solid Waste
    3
    Unit Manager
    in the Bureau of
    Land,
    Permit
    Section.
    4
    Q.
    And how long have you worked for the Illinois
    5
    EPA?
    6
    A.
    I’ve
    worked
    for
    the
    Agency
    since
    October
    of
    7
    1984.
    8
    Q.
    Could you summarize
    your credentials
    and
    9
    qualifications
    in
    30
    seconds
    or
    less?
    10
    A.
    I
    am
    a
    Licensed
    Professional
    Engineer
    in
    the
    11
    State
    of
    Illinois.
    I
    have
    a
    degree
    in
    environmental
    12
    engineering
    from Southern
    Illinois University
    at
    13
    Carbondale.
    14
    Q.
    Now,
    Joyce,
    we’ve
    asked
    you
    to
    testify
    15
    concerning
    a
    meeting
    that
    you
    may
    have
    had
    with
    the
    16
    folks
    from
    the
    ESG
    Watts
    company
    back
    in
    August
    of
    17
    1995.
    Do
    you understand that?
    18
    A.
    Yes.
    19
    Q.
    Was
    this
    meeting
    intended
    to
    address
    the
    20
    denial
    points
    from the February
    1995 denial
    of
    the Big
    21
    Mod?
    22
    A.
    This meeting was meant
    to assist Watts
    in
    23
    complying with the denial,
    to come
    to compliance
    with
    24
    the regulations,
    and to explain
    the denial
    to
    them.

    925
    1
    Q.
    Okay.
    And
    was
    the
    meeting
    at
    their
    request?
    2
    A.
    I’m sorry,
    I don’t recall.
    It probably
    was.
    3
    Q.
    Did
    you
    have
    a
    productive
    discussion
    4
    regarding
    the various
    technical
    issues?
    5
    A.
    I
    thought
    we
    did,
    yes.
    6
    Q.
    Did
    you
    come
    to
    any
    agreement
    or
    arrangement
    7
    as
    to
    how
    a
    resubmittal
    of
    the
    Significant
    8
    Modification
    Application
    would
    be
    made
    by
    Watts?
    9
    A.
    We
    didn’t
    so
    much
    as
    discuss
    the
    resubmittal
    10
    specifically
    of
    the
    application.
    We
    discussed
    how
    11
    they
    would
    go
    through
    the
    denial
    and
    --
    I
    guess
    we
    did
    12
    discuss
    the
    resubmittal
    of
    the
    application.
    That
    they
    13
    would
    have to submit information
    in regards
    to all the
    14
    denial
    points
    and
    attempt
    to
    address
    all
    the
    15
    regulations
    that
    the
    denial
    said
    they
    did
    not
    comply
    16
    with
    in
    the
    first
    one
    and
    then
    resubmit
    the
    17
    application
    to
    us.
    18
    Q.
    Now,
    were
    you
    senior
    staff
    member,
    if
    you
    19
    will,
    in
    attendance
    on
    behalf
    of
    the
    Agency
    at
    that
    20
    meeting?
    21
    A.
    Yes,
    I
    was.
    22
    Q.
    Did
    you
    allow
    Watts
    to
    deviate
    from
    any
    of
    23
    the
    generally
    applicable
    procedures
    or
    requirements
    as
    24
    far
    as
    permit
    application
    submittals?

    1
    A.
    Not
    in
    regards
    to
    the
    resubmittal
    of
    the
    2
    application,
    no.
    3
    Q.
    Now,
    I can represent
    to you that there’s
    been
    4
    testimony
    to
    the
    effect
    that
    all
    they
    had
    to
    do
    was
    to
    5
    send
    in some supplemental
    information,
    along with
    a
    6
    letter
    --
    cover
    letter
    indicating
    that
    nothing
    else
    7
    had
    changed.
    Would
    this
    be
    acceptable
    to
    the
    Agency?
    8
    A.
    Not
    as
    a
    resubmittal
    to
    the
    Significant
    9
    Modification
    Application.
    10
    Q.
    And
    was
    a
    filing
    made
    in
    mid
    October,
    I
    think
    11
    October
    18th,
    1996,
    from
    this
    company?
    12
    A.
    I don’t know the specific date,
    but we did
    13
    receive
    some
    information
    that
    was
    purporting
    to
    14
    address
    the denial points.
    15
    Q.
    And what action did the Agency take with
    that
    16
    submittal?
    17
    A.
    We
    rejected
    that
    application
    on
    the
    basis
    18
    that
    it
    did not
    include application
    forms and
    19
    signatures,
    and
    we
    sent
    the
    information
    back.
    20
    Q.
    Was
    there
    a
    subsequent
    filing
    by
    this
    21
    company?
    22
    A.
    Yes.
    They submitted
    a Significant
    23
    Modification
    Application.
    24
    Q.
    Let me
    show you what we’ve
    just marked,
    and

    for
    that
    matter
    just
    received,
    from
    your
    Agency.
    2
    We’ve
    identified
    this
    as Exhibit
    70.
    Could you
    3
    identify
    it
    as
    to subject matter and so forth?
    4
    A.
    This
    is
    a
    letter
    of
    incompleteness
    for
    the

    Application
    for

    6
    Landfill,

    in

    7
    Q.
    Is
    this
    an
    official
    permitting
    action
    by
    the
    8
    Illinois
    EPA?
    9
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    10
    Q.
    Would
    you
    consider
    this
    to
    be
    a
    business
    11
    record
    created
    and
    maintained
    in
    the
    usual
    course
    of
    12
    the business
    of the Illinois EPA?
    13
    A.
    Yes.
    14
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    We
    would
    move
    into

    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Is
    there
    any
    17
    objection?
    18
    Is
    the
    letter
    dated
    yesterday?
    19
    A.
    Yes.
    20
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Yeah,
    I
    am
    going
    to
    object
    to
    21
    it.
    And
    the
    basis
    is
    that
    the
    whole
    point
    of
    our
    22
    discussion
    on the 30th was that the Agency would
    23
    present
    a witness
    to discuss the items
    in the
    24
    resubmittal.
    You’ve

    1
    didn’t
    give
    me
    the
    opportunity
    to
    depose
    anybody,
    and
    2
    I think
    this
    is
    just
    a backdoor attempt
    to get their
    3
    determination
    into
    the record without
    allowing me any
    4
    opportunity
    to cross-examine
    or to depose and to have
    5
    my
    witnesses
    look
    at
    the
    substance
    of
    the
    denial.
    6
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    It
    is
    not
    a
    backdoor
    attempt.
    We
    7
    had
    intended
    to
    put
    Ken
    Liss
    on
    to
    address
    certain
    8
    specific
    issues.
    Ms.
    Munie
    has
    been
    called
    to
    attempt
    9
    to
    rebut
    the
    assertion
    that’s
    been
    made
    several
    times
    10
    regarding
    some
    sort
    of
    commitment
    by
    the
    Agency
    on
    the
    11
    act
    of
    filing,
    As
    to
    this
    Exhibit
    Number
    70,
    it’s
    a
    12
    business
    record.
    It
    --
    I
    haven’t
    read
    it.
    I
    don’t
    13
    know
    what
    it
    says,
    but
    it
    is
    an
    official
    action
    by
    the
    14
    EPA
    on
    what
    they
    filed
    as
    Exhibit
    1,
    and
    I
    think
    it
    15
    has
    intrinsic
    value
    for
    that
    purpose.
    We’re
    not
    16
    asking
    her,
    nor
    is
    she
    prepared
    to
    discuss
    any
    of
    the
    17
    technical
    matters
    underlying
    the
    decision.
    It’s
    not
    a
    18
    technical
    decision.
    It’s
    a
    matter
    of
    completeness.
    19
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    I’m
    going
    to
    allow
    20
    it.
    I
    believe
    that
    it’s
    relevant
    to
    this
    case.
    21
    (People’s Exhibit Number
    70 admitted.)
    22
    Q.
    Joyce,
    let
    me show you what we’ve
    had
    23
    admitted previously
    as Exhibit
    56 and ask
    if
    this
    24
    appears
    to be
    a permit
    issued by your Agency on

    1
    January
    9,
    1996?
    2
    A.
    Yes,
    it
    is.
    3
    Q.
    And
    is
    it
    your
    understanding
    that
    this
    permit
    4
    is
    under
    appeal
    to
    the
    Pollution
    Control
    Board?
    S
    A.
    Yes.
    6
    Q.
    Now,
    let
    me
    back
    up
    once
    again
    to
    August
    7
    1995.
    Did
    you
    participate
    in
    discussions
    with
    the
    ESG
    8
    Watts company regarding
    the need for assessment
    9
    monitoring
    for
    their
    groundwater
    problems?
    10
    A.
    Yes.
    We
    discussed
    groundwater
    monitoring
    at
    11
    the
    landfill
    while
    they
    were
    attempting
    to
    get
    their
    12
    Significant
    Modification.
    13
    Q.
    Even though his testimony
    is
    in dispute
    or
    14
    subject
    to
    being
    stricken
    from
    the
    record,
    did
    you
    15
    understand
    that
    Mr.
    Liss
    just
    now
    indicated
    that
    16
    assessment
    monitoring
    was
    triggered
    at
    this
    facility
    17
    because
    of
    some
    exceedences
    in
    the
    monitoring
    reports?
    18
    A.
    Yes.
    19
    Q.
    Now,
    as
    a general
    matter,
    isn’t
    this how
    it
    20
    happens?
    21
    A.
    Yes.
    They start monitoring groundwater,
    and
    22
    if something
    is
    found,
    it’s triggered,
    then they start
    23
    an assessment.
    24
    Q.
    That’s
    the
    whole
    point
    of

    monitoring
    and
    so
    forth,
    isn’t
    it?
    2
    A.
    Yes.
    3
    Q.
    Now,
    getting back specifically
    to the Watts
    4
    Taylor
    Ridge
    facility,
    did
    you
    also
    participate,
    5
    Joyce,
    in discussions
    involving
    the Attorney General’s
    6
    office
    and
    ESG
    Watts,
    either

    10
    Q.
    Did
    your
    Agency
    fax
    to
    ESG
    Watts
    a
    list
    of
    11
    parameters
    that
    would
    be
    subject
    to
    assessment
    12
    monitoring?
    13
    A.
    We
    faxed
    them
    a
    list
    of
    groundwater
    14
    monitoring
    parameters
    that
    is
    a

    that
    15
    you
    monitor
    for.

    Q.
    During
    the
    discussions
    that
    you
    participated
    17
    in
    did
    it
    appear
    that
    ESG
    Watts
    was
    agreeable
    to
    18
    undertaking
    assessment
    monitoring?
    19
    A.
    They
    agreed
    to
    do
    groundwater
    monitoring
    in
    20
    accordance
    with the
    620 standards.
    21
    Q.
    And
    did
    it
    appear
    that
    there
    may
    have
    been
    an
    22
    issue
    as
    to what exactly had to be tested and you
    23
    attempted
    to resolve
    that issue?
    24
    A.
    Yes.

    4
    Q.
    Does

    56
    indicate
    when
    a
    permit
    S
    application was logged
    in with
    the Agency?
    6
    A.
    It
    was
    dated
    October
    9th,
    1995,
    and
    received
    7
    by

    8
    Q.
    Do
    you
    recall
    whether
    that
    application
    9
    included
    any
    assessment
    monitoring
    proposal?
    10
    A.
    It
    included
    a
    proposal
    to
    monitor
    the
    11
    standard
    groundwater
    list.
    12
    Q.
    And
    was
    --

    grant
    authority
    to
    14
    do
    that?
    15
    A.
    We
    grant
    the
    requirement
    to
    monitor
    16
    groundwater
    quarterly
    and
    annually,
    and
    do
    the
    17
    statistics
    and
    all
    the
    standard
    groundwater
    monitoring
    18
    requirements.
    19
    Q.
    I
    can
    also
    represent
    to
    you
    that
    there’s
    been
    20
    testimony
    earlier
    in
    this
    hearing
    that
    in
    issuing
    this
    21
    permit,
    Exhibit
    56,
    the
    Agency
    acted
    “unilaterally”
    by
    22
    including
    an
    assessment
    monitoring
    program.
    Do
    you
    23
    agree
    with that
    testimony?
    24
    A.
    We
    gave
    them
    a

    would

    if
    something
    was
    triggered
    in

    4
    Q.
    And
    was
    it
    your
    understanding
    that
    they
    were
    S
    not
    only
    proposing
    to
    do
    so
    but
    were
    willing
    to
    6
    implement
    such
    a program?
    7
    A.
    It
    was
    my
    understanding
    that
    they
    were
    8
    willing
    to
    do
    the

    Q.
    Going
    back
    to
    the

    meeting,
    what
    was
    16
    the
    purpose
    of
    allowing
    Watts
    to
    resubmit
    information
    17
    on
    the
    denial
    points?
    18
    A.
    We
    had
    some
    discussion
    about
    assisting
    them
    19
    with
    specific
    plans
    within
    the
    denial.
    There’s
    20
    leachate plans
    and there’s
    gas monitoring
    plans,
    and
    21
    things
    like
    that
    that
    did
    not
    comply
    with
    the
    811
    22
    standards,
    and we did agree
    to assist
    them
    in bringing
    23
    those
    specific plans
    to the 811 standards and discuss
    24
    any specific problems

    submitting
    the

    2
    Application.
    3
    Q.
    So
    the
    information
    that
    was
    --
    the
    4
    information
    that was submitted on those denial points
    5
    what
    were
    you
    going
    to
    do
    with
    it?
    6
    A.
    We would review them for adequacy with
    the
    7
    811
    regulations
    and
    assist
    Watts
    to
    bring
    them
    up
    to
    S
    the 811 standards
    if they didn’t
    meet
    it
    or basically
    9
    tell
    them
    that
    that
    plan
    would
    meet
    the
    811
    standards.
    10
    Q.
    Is
    that
    what
    you
    did?
    11
    A.
    We
    only
    received
    one
    attempt
    before
    the
    12
    Significant
    Modification
    Application,
    and that was an
    13
    807
    application
    for
    leachate
    and
    gas
    management.
    We
    14
    reviewed
    it
    in
    accordance
    with
    the
    811
    standards,
    but
    15
    we
    issued
    it
    under
    the
    807
    supplemental.
    16
    Q.
    You’re
    aware
    that
    Watts
    submitted
    or
    through
    17
    CH2M-Hill
    they made
    a submittal
    on October 18th of
    18
    ‘96?
    19
    A.
    Yes.
    20
    Q.
    That submittal
    addressed
    the denial points?
    21
    A.
    I
    believe
    so.
    To
    be
    perfectly
    honest,
    I
    did
    22
    not review that submittal.
    23
    Q.
    Okay.
    What did the Agency do with that?
    24
    A.
    We
    were
    looking

    and
    we
    rejected

    it did not

    at your meeting you just testified

    you
    were

    to

    denial
    7
    points?
    8
    A.
    Watts
    also
    indicated
    to
    us
    that
    they
    would
    be
    9
    doing
    that
    soon,
    and
    a year later when
    the package

    came
    in,
    we
    were
    looking
    for
    an

    11
    Q.
    Did
    Watts
    notify
    you
    that
    they
    were
    going

    No.

    Did
    you
    at

    that

    not
    consider

    16
    that

    submitted

    that
    what you received
    in October was
    14 months beyond
    2
    the
    discussions
    that
    you
    had
    in
    August
    of

    disregarding
    the

    that
    an

    A.
    No.
    8
    Q.
    Was
    it
    neither

    nor
    fowl?
    Was
    it
    neither

    nor
    the

    let’s
    sit
    10
    down

    talk
    about
    it,
    how’s
    it

    so
    far
    approach
    11
    that
    you
    thought
    you
    were

    12
    A.
    It
    was
    questionable
    as
    to
    what
    it
    was.
    And
    13
    we have specific
    statutory deadlines
    that say that
    14
    once
    we
    receive
    an
    application,
    and
    if
    we
    accept
    it,
    15
    we
    have
    90
    days
    or
    possibly
    180
    days
    to

    it,
    16
    depending
    on what regulations
    we’re
    falling
    under.
    17
    Q.
    And
    as
    a
    general
    matter,
    has
    the

    Control
    Board
    expressed
    its

    19
    of
    rulings
    in

    appeals
    about
    just
    how
    rigorous
    20
    and stringent
    and exact
    these procedures
    must be?
    21
    A.
    Yes.
    We
    take
    those
    deadlines
    very
    seriously.
    22

    And for that

    is there not also

    warning
    them
    that

    18th,
    1997
    6
    deadline
    is
    fast
    approaching,
    and
    that
    if
    they
    don’t
    7
    get
    their
    Significant
    Modification
    approved
    by
    that
    8
    date,
    they
    would
    have
    to
    shut
    down.
    9
    Q.
    October
    of what year did that letter go out?
    10
    A.
    Of
    this
    year.
    11
    Q.
    Okay.
    So
    your
    expectations
    changed
    in
    12
    October
    of
    ‘96 and yet Watts
    made
    this resubmittal
    on
    13
    October
    18th
    of
    ‘96?
    14
    A.
    Yes.

    Do
    you

    the
    precise
    date
    when
    your

    October
    letter
    went
    out?

    It
    was
    I

    now I’m going
    to say it was

    No,

    I
    do
    now
    believe
    it
    20
    was August
    21
    Q.
    And did you do anything
    to notify Watts
    that
    22
    your expectations
    had changed?
    23
    A.
    We did send

    He

    there
    were
    some

    wells.
    That
    10
    on
    Thursday
    they
    was

    the

    caught
    them

    unexpectedly
    and
    the
    wells
    was
    open
    at
    this
    time
    and
    12
    they didn’t
    get them covered
    up till Monday and
    13
    assured
    me that
    it would not happen again.

    I’m not sure
    of the exact

    He
    said
    that there were some wells

    not have

    that better than
    I,
    but
    he said there
    was,
    he

    three or four wells
    there
    that wasn’t
    finished.
    They were incomplete,
    caught by the rain.

    And did he acknowledge
    whether these were,
    quote,
    open
    wells
    or
    incompletely
    installed

    that

    Let me turn to one more issue regarding the

    retention
    pond.
    First
    of
    all,
    is
    the
    retention
    pond
    11
    as
    it
    has
    existed
    these
    past
    several
    years,
    that
    is,
    12
    generally
    speaking,
    is
    it located
    on your property
    13
    entirely,
    on the landfill property entirely,
    or
    14
    partially
    on
    both?
    15
    A.
    I
    constructed
    the
    dike
    and
    through
    the
    16
    erosion
    and
    sediment
    that
    has
    come
    off
    of
    the
    landfill.
    17
    and
    where
    the
    new
    fence
    was
    put
    back
    in,
    it
    ran
    --
    the
    18
    water
    is
    higher
    than
    the
    elevation
    of
    the
    fence.
    19
    Q.
    Okay.
    20
    A.
    So
    there
    is
    water
    on
    the

    side.
    21
    There
    is water
    on my
    side.
    22
    Q.
    Do
    you
    know
    how
    far
    from
    the
    fence,
    which
    23
    represents
    the boundary,
    the dike
    is?

    9
    agreement
    was
    based
    upon
    some
    surveying
    that
    you
    had
    10
    had
    conducted?
    11
    A.
    I
    did
    not
    conduct
    a
    survey,
    no,
    but
    I
    was
    12
    there
    when
    the
    survey
    was
    done
    and
    I
    do
    know
    where
    the
    13
    stakes
    are.
    14
    Q.
    Okay.
    Was
    the
    --
    how
    was
    the
    survey
    done?
    15
    Who
    requested
    it?
    16
    A.
    The
    guy’s
    name
    was
    Marvin
    Kammerman
    that
    17
    actually
    did
    the
    surveying
    at
    the
    time
    that
    I
    was
    18
    present
    or
    the
    time
    that
    I
    was
    there,
    because
    he
    sent
    19
    me
    a
    letter
    stating
    so
    that
    he
    was
    going
    to
    be
    there
    20
    surveying
    the
    property.
    That’s
    why
    I
    was
    there.
    2.
    Q.
    On
    whose
    behalf
    was
    he
    acting
    apparently?
    22
    A.
    On ESG Watts.
    23
    Q.
    Okay.
    So regardless
    of all of
    that,

    is
    is where

    946
    1
    Q.
    How?
    2
    A.
    There’s
    siltation
    in
    it
    right
    now.
    The
    3
    siltation
    is
    approximately
    six
    inches
    from
    the
    top
    of
    4
    the
    dike.
    That
    is
    why
    that
    I
    had
    it
    cleaned
    out,
    the
    5
    part
    that
    never
    was
    cleaned
    out
    in
    ‘9S,
    and
    built
    the
    6
    dike
    a
    little
    higher
    to
    --
    so
    it will retain more of
    7
    the
    siltation
    that’s
    coming
    in
    there
    before
    the
    water
    8
    actually
    comes
    off,
    because
    actually
    it’s
    only
    six
    9
    inches
    from
    the
    top
    prior
    to
    my
    having
    it
    done.
    I
    had
    10
    it
    done
    in
    late
    November
    because
    I’ve
    asked
    the
    11
    landfill
    personnel
    since
    April
    of
    this
    year
    to
    do
    it,
    12
    they
    haven’t
    done
    it.
    So
    before
    the
    ground
    froze
    and
    13
    got hard and the spring
    thaws
    next spring would
    14
    completely
    fill
    the
    pond
    and
    overfill
    the
    pond,
    so
    I
    15
    hired
    a
    guy
    to
    come
    down
    and
    dig
    out
    the
    portion
    that
    16
    was
    there
    and
    put
    it
    on
    the
    dike.
    17
    Q.
    Who
    did
    you
    talk
    to
    at
    the
    landfill
    to
    18
    discuss
    this?
    19
    A.
    I
    didn’t

    I
    haven’t
    talked
    to
    anyone
    --

    I

    who
    did
    you

    A.
    You
    mean

    Elmer
    was
    at

    my
    place
    and
    did
    go
    to

    me
    and
    see
    what
    I
    13
    wanted

    informed me that they had
    a breakdown
    of
    14
    their
    small
    backhoe,
    I
    believe
    he
    called
    it,
    and
    he’d

    get
    it

    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    I want
    to call Steve Grothus
    4
    as
    a
    rebuttal
    --
    surrebuttal.
    At
    least
    I
    think
    I
    do.
    5
    I
    want
    to
    talk
    to
    Steve
    first.

    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Can
    I
    go
    ahead
    and
    do
    7
    a
    housekeeping
    matter
    before
    you
    --
    we
    go
    off
    the
    8
    record
    and
    I
    let
    you
    do
    that.
    9
    I
    just
    wanted
    to
    make
    clear
    at
    our
    last
    hearing
    I
    10
    accepted
    an
    exhibit
    list
    instanter
    for
    purposes
    of
    11
    hearing.
    You
    guys
    were
    nice
    --
    you
    guys,
    the
    Attorney
    12
    General’s
    office
    were nice enough to provide
    it.
    I am
    13
    not
    going
    to
    forward
    that
    to
    the
    Board
    because
    I
    think
    14
    it
    would
    cause
    some
    confusion
    because
    it’s
    going
    to
    be
    15
    so
    similar
    to
    the
    complete
    exhibit
    list
    which
    I
    16
    provide.
    It
    was
    very
    helpful
    for
    hearing,
    but
    I’m
    17
    going
    to
    just
    go
    ahead
    and
    do
    an
    official
    exhibit
    18
    list.
    So
    I
    want
    you
    to
    know
    that
    that
    will
    not
    be
    19
    part
    of
    the
    record.
    It
    will
    be
    sort
    of
    part
    of
    the
    20
    entire
    one.
    21
    I also need to mention for the record that there
    22
    have been members
    of the public present
    throughout
    the
    23

    to the hearing.
    24
    And
    all of the witnesses
    that have testified

    Yes,

    11
    Q.
    He
    testified
    about
    a
    telephone
    conversation
    12
    that he purportedly had with you perhaps
    late July or
    13
    August
    of
    1986
    regarding
    odors
    from
    the

    Do
    14
    you
    recall
    that?
    15
    A.
    No.
    16
    Q.
    ‘96?

    A.
    ‘96.
    No,

    recall.

    Q.
    Do
    you

    19
    A.
    Yeah,
    I
    remember
    him
    saying
    it.
    20

    Do you recall
    that telephone conversation?

    1
    Q.
    Now,
    Mr.
    Whitley
    talked
    about
    --
    used
    the
    2
    term purportedly
    you said something
    about
    you left
    --
    3
    there
    were casings
    in
    these
    holes.
    Is casing
    a term
    4
    that you understand?
    5
    A.
    Not
    in
    this
    type
    of
    well
    drilling
    operation.
    6
    Casing
    meaning
    the
    well
    casing?
    Is
    that
    what
    he’s
    --
    7
    okay,
    the
    well
    casing,
    yeah.
    Okay.
    B
    Q.
    Well,
    I’ll
    just
    strike
    that
    question.
    9
    There
    was
    also
    some
    testimony
    regarding
    some
    10
    statements
    you
    purportedly
    made
    at
    Mr.
    Whitley’s
    11
    deposition
    in
    this
    case.
    12
    A.
    Uh-huh.
    13
    Q.
    Do you recall
    him testifying
    about
    that?
    14
    A.
    Yes.
    15
    Q.
    Do
    you
    recall
    that
    day?
    16
    A.
    Yes.
    17
    Q.
    When
    he
    was
    deposed?
    18
    A.
    Yes,
    I
    do.
    19
    Q.
    What
    is
    your
    recollection
    of
    what
    you
    told
    20
    Mr. Whitley
    that day?
    21
    A.
    we
    were talking
    about
    the well
    drilling
    22
    operation,
    and
    I believe
    I asked him that
    I noticed
    23
    some people on the landfill
    late one evening prior
    to
    24
    the
    well
    drilling
    operation.
    Knowing
    what
    was
    going
    CAPITOL
    REPORTING
    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525-6167

    955
    1
    to
    happen,
    I
    was
    very
    concerned
    about
    that.
    If
    there
    2
    are people walking across
    it
    from
    --
    they
    came
    from
    3
    north
    to south when
    I saw them.
    If we’re up there
    4
    drilling,
    they may not realize
    what’s going
    on.
    I
    5
    told
    him
    I
    was
    very
    concerned,
    I
    was
    afraid
    that
    6
    somebody
    might
    fall
    in
    a
    well.
    Basically
    to
    scare
    him
    7
    or
    for
    him
    to
    let
    people
    know
    or
    whatever.
    I
    told
    him
    8
    that
    to
    scare
    them
    off,
    keep
    people
    out
    of
    there
    at
    9
    all
    costs.
    10
    Q.
    At
    the
    time
    you
    made
    that
    statement
    was
    there
    11
    ever
    a
    period
    prior
    to
    that
    time
    when
    a
    well
    had
    not
    12
    been covered
    at the end of the day?
    13
    A.
    Not that
    I’m aware
    of.
    14
    Q.
    So
    what
    again
    was
    the
    purpose
    of
    putting
    him
    15
    on
    notice
    that
    these
    holes
    were
    out
    there?
    16
    A.
    To make
    sure
    that
    if anyone
    he knew or any
    17
    one
    of
    the
    neighbors
    or
    anything
    were
    walking
    across
    18
    the site,
    that’s extremely dangerous
    at that
    time.
    19
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    No further questions.

    22
    Q.
    Steve,
    I
    seem
    to
    recall
    you
    also
    discussed
    23
    the fact
    that people had been driving recreational
    24
    vehicles
    or something?

    217-

    956
    1
    A.
    Yeah,
    I
    found
    ATC
    tracks
    and
    things
    like
    that
    2
    up there.
    3
    Q.
    And
    the
    people
    that
    you
    may
    have
    seen
    4
    on-site,
    that didn’t
    include
    Mr. Whitley,
    did
    it?
    S
    A.
    No.
    Heavens,
    no.
    Could
    have
    been
    anybody.
    6
    I’m
    assuming
    it
    was
    kids.
    7
    Q.
    So
    when
    you
    did
    talk
    about
    the
    danger
    of
    open
    B
    wells
    and
    the
    long
    shafts
    and
    the
    lack
    of
    air
    and
    all
    9
    that,
    that
    was
    just,
    as
    you
    put
    it,
    an
    effort
    to
    scare
    10
    him?
    11
    A.
    Yes.
    To
    scare
    him
    and
    to
    let
    --
    I
    figured
    he
    12
    talked
    to
    a
    lot
    of
    neighbors
    all
    the
    time
    and
    he
    was
    13
    kind
    of
    the
    source
    of
    communication
    possibly.
    14
    Irregardless
    if
    we
    covered
    the
    wells
    or
    not,
    hopefully
    15
    it
    was
    a
    deterrent.
    16
    Q.
    Did
    he
    make
    any
    response
    or
    reply
    to
    these
    17
    statements
    by
    you?
    18
    A.
    I
    don’t
    recall.
    19
    Q.
    Did
    he
    say
    something
    to
    the
    effect
    that
    he
    20
    would not go on the site?
    21
    A.
    Oh,
    I’m
    --
    I
    think
    he
    did
    probably,
    yeah.
    He
    22
    never
    --
    I
    mean
    to
    my
    knowledge
    he’s
    never
    come
    onto
    23
    it without
    talking
    to us or whatever.
    24
    Q.
    Let’s
    turn
    our
    attention
    now
    to

    July,

    1
    early
    August,
    that
    time
    period.
    2
    A.
    Okay.
    3
    Q.
    Were
    the odors
    attributable
    to the well
    4
    drilling
    and
    dredging
    or,
    rather,
    the
    spoils,
    were
    the
    5
    odors
    worse
    then
    than
    they
    had
    been
    prior
    to
    the
    6
    implementation
    of the project?
    7
    A.
    I don’t
    get
    it.
    B
    Q.
    After
    the
    project
    commenced,
    were
    the
    odors
    9
    worse
    than
    they
    were
    before
    the
    project
    commenced?
    10
    A.
    They
    may
    have
    increased
    a
    little
    bit,
    yeah.
    11
    Q.
    Did
    he
    ever
    call
    you
    to
    complain
    about
    the
    12
    odors?
    13
    A.
    I
    don’t
    really
    recall
    him
    --
    he may have,
    but
    14
    I
    don’t
    recall
    it.
    15
    Q.
    Is
    it
    plausible?
    16
    A.
    Sure.
    17
    Q.
    Or even likely?
    18
    A.
    Well,
    I
    don’t
    know
    if
    it’s
    likely.
    It’s
    19
    plausible.
    Sure,
    it’s
    plausible
    that
    he
    could,
    20
    uh-huh.
    21
    Q.
    But
    you
    don’t
    remember
    ever
    responding
    to
    him
    22
    if
    indeed
    he did call you to the effect that,
    yes,
    you
    23
    smelled
    it,
    too,
    and
    it was bad?
    24
    A.
    Well,
    I
    smelled
    it when
    I was working
    on the
    CAPITOL
    REPORTING
    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS

    1
    project.
    Yeah,
    you smelled
    it all the time when you
    2
    were working the project.
    Gas was coming out
    of
    the
    3
    hole.
    4
    0.
    All right.
    And gas would
    --
    you
    could
    smell
    5
    it
    regardless
    whether
    the
    plates
    were
    covering
    the
    6
    openings
    or
    not?
    7
    A.
    Sure
    8
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    Okay.
    That’s
    fine.
    Nothing
    9
    else.

    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    12
    Q.
    One
    last
    question.
    Do
    you
    ever
    recall
    13
    telling
    Joe Whitley
    that
    there
    was
    a time where
    the
    14
    holes
    were
    not
    covered?
    15
    A.
    No.
    16
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    No
    further
    questions.
    17
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Anything
    else?
    18
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    No.
    19
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Okay.
    20
    (Witness excused)
    21
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Do we have any other
    22
    witnesses?
    23
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    No,
    the
    People
    have
    none.
    24
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Okay.
    Then
    let’s
    go

    ILLINOIS
    217-525-6167

    1
    off
    the

    to
    talk
    about
    briefs.
    2
    (Discussion
    off the record.)
    3
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Let’s
    go
    back
    on
    the
    4
    record.
    5
    For
    the
    briefing
    schedule,
    the
    People’s
    first
    6
    brief
    will
    be
    due
    on
    January
    17th.
    Mailed
    is
    filed
    as
    7
    far
    as
    the
    Board
    is
    concerned.
    However,
    and
    I
    want
    to
    8
    be
    clear
    about
    this,
    I
    do
    expect
    you
    to
    get
    the
    brief
    9
    to
    Mr.
    Northrup’s
    office
    by
    5:00
    on
    Friday.
    You
    can
    10
    stick
    it
    in
    the
    mail
    to
    the
    Chicago
    office
    of
    the
    11
    Board,
    but
    that
    way
    Mr.
    Northrup
    will
    have
    it.
    And
    12
    you guys
    are all
    in Springfield,
    so
    it shouldn’t
    be
    a
    13
    problem.
    14
    Then
    --
    actually,
    the
    17th
    is
    three
    weeks
    and
    you
    15
    agreed
    --
    oh,
    no,
    we’re
    starting the 3rd because
    of
    16
    when
    the
    transcript
    is
    coming
    in.
    That’s
    right.
    17
    So,
    Mr.
    Northrup,
    your
    brief
    will
    be
    due
    on
    18
    February
    7th.
    19
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    That’s
    three
    weeks?
    20
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    That
    is
    three
    weeks.
    21
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Thank you very much.
    22
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    And the People
    have
    23
    agreed to their
    final
    brief being February
    21st.
    24
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    And Mr. Northrup will
    give
    us his
    CAPITOL

    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525-

    960
    1
    as
    well
    by
    5:00
    on
    the
    7th?
    2
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Yes.
    That applies
    to
    3
    all
    of
    them,
    except
    for
    your
    reply
    brief.
    You
    can
    4
    mail
    it
    to
    him
    or
    walk
    it
    over,
    I
    don’t
    care
    how
    you
    5
    get
    it
    to
    him.
    6
    But
    I
    would
    expect
    that,
    Mr.
    Northrup,
    your
    brief
    7
    which
    is
    due
    February
    7th
    you
    need
    to
    have
    in
    the
    B
    hands
    of
    someone
    at
    the
    Attorney
    General’s
    office
    by
    9
    5:00
    or
    -
    10
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    4:45.
    That’s
    when
    the
    building
    11
    shuts.
    12
    HEARING OFFICER
    FRANK:
    At what
    time?
    4:30?
    13
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    4:45.
    I’m not always
    facetious.
    14
    This
    is
    true.
    15
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    That’s
    fine.
    By
    4:45
    16
    on
    the
    7th
    of
    February.
    17
    Is your office open until
    5?
    18
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Oh,
    we’re
    open
    24
    hours
    a

    19
    HEARING
    OFFICER

    Then
    the

    General’s
    brief
    which
    is due January
    17th,
    as long
    as
    21
    Mr. Northrup
    has
    it by
    5.
    And you can put
    them all
    in
    22
    the mail
    to the Board.
    23
    Are there
    any other questions
    or anything
    else
    we
    24
    need
    to discuss?

    1
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    I
    have
    a
    procedural
    question
    2
    just
    because
    I’ve
    never
    dealt
    with
    this
    before.
    3
    Do
    I need
    --
    on
    Ken
    Liss’s
    offer
    of
    proof
    do
    I
    --
    4
    is
    it appropriate
    for me
    to file
    some kind
    of motion
    5
    excluding
    that
    from
    the
    transcript
    and
    being
    set
    apart
    6
    or
    7
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    If
    you
    want
    to
    do
    8
    that,
    that
    is
    a
    personal
    decision.
    On
    other
    offers
    of
    9
    proof
    that
    I
    have
    seen
    it
    would
    be
    up
    to
    the
    Attorney
    10
    General’s
    office
    to
    move
    the
    Board
    to
    accept
    it
    as
    11
    part
    of
    the
    transcript.
    It
    just
    remains
    in
    the
    12
    transcript
    and the Board knows
    when they
    see offer
    of
    13
    proof,
    you
    know,
    that
    they’re
    not
    going
    to
    --
    that
    14
    testimony
    isn’t
    something
    that
    they
    can
    base
    their
    15
    decision
    on.
    16
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    Yeah.
    We’ve
    done
    all
    we
    need
    to
    17
    do.
    If you want
    to make
    some further argument,
    then
    18
    we
    would
    respond
    to
    it
    when
    you
    make
    your
    motion.
    19
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    But
    you
    probably
    20
    should procedurally,
    at
    least,
    reiterate
    in your brief
    21
    that
    you
    wish
    the
    offer
    of
    proof
    to
    be
    accepted.
    22
    Because the Board rule states
    that motions
    that are
    23
    orally
    done
    at
    hearing
    must
    be
    restated
    in
    writing
    to
    24
    the
    Board.
    And
    it’s
    just
    the
    safer
    way
    to
    go
    to
    make
    CAPITOL
    REPORTING
    SERVICE,
    INC.
    SPRINGFIELD,
    ILLINOIS
    217-525-6167

    962
    1
    sure
    that
    the
    Board
    sees
    it
    and
    does
    something
    about
    2
    it.
    I would
    suggest
    that you do
    it
    in writing.
    And
    3
    if
    you
    want
    to
    do
    it
    as
    part
    of
    your
    brief,
    that’s
    4
    fine.
    But you ought
    to reiterate
    it
    in writing.
    5
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Kind
    of
    following
    up
    then,
    so
    6
    if
    I
    were
    to
    file
    a
    motion
    on
    People’s
    68,
    is
    the
    7
    preferable
    way
    to
    do
    it
    in
    my
    briefs
    or
    to
    file
    a
    B
    separate
    motion?
    9
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    I’ve
    seen
    it
    done
    10
    both
    ways.
    A
    lot
    of
    times
    people
    do
    it
    in
    their
    11
    briefs
    because
    the
    briefing
    schedule
    is
    tighter.
    I
    12
    would suggest
    that because we’re
    talking about
    your
    13
    brief
    being
    filed
    in
    February
    that
    if
    you
    want
    to
    file
    14
    something
    --
    the
    Board’s
    going
    to
    start
    looking
    at
    15
    information
    in
    this
    case
    prior
    to
    February.
    16
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Right.
    17
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    And
    if
    you
    want
    them
    18
    to
    exclude
    an
    exhibit,
    then
    file
    a
    motion.
    19
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    And
    I
    --
    20
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Is
    that
    it
    for
    2.
    procedural
    questions?
    22
    MR.
    DAVIS:
    I guess
    just
    to
    --
    maybe
    it
    23
    wasn’t
    clear before,
    but our
    68
    is
    a reproduction
    of
    24
    your Exhibit
    2.
    So
    I don’t
    know how you can move
    to

    if
    you’ve,
    you
    know
    --
    2
    HEARING OFFICER FRANK:
    Okay.
    The exhibit
    is
    3
    in evidence.
    He was asking procedurally
    if
    he chose
    4
    to
    make
    a
    motion
    to
    the
    Pollution
    Control
    Board
    what
    5
    to
    do.
    I’m
    not
    going
    to
    go
    over
    again
    whether
    or
    not
    6
    that
    exhibit
    is
    —-
    it
    is
    in
    evidence
    now,
    It’s
    up
    to

    the

    and
    up
    to
    Charlie.
    8
    MR.

    Fine.

    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    Thanks,

    10
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    Is
    there
    anything
    11
    else
    that
    we
    need
    to
    cover?
    12
    MR.
    NORTHRUP:
    One
    last
    thing.
    I
    think
    you
    13
    talked
    about
    this
    before.
    The
    record
    is
    going
    to
    be
    14
    here
    so
    we’ll
    have
    access
    to
    it?
    15
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    What
    the
    clerk’s
    16
    office
    has
    agreed
    is
    that
    it
    will
    stay
    in
    Springfield
    17
    for
    some
    amount
    of
    time.
    I
    will
    give
    them
    the
    18
    briefing
    schedule
    and
    it
    should
    at
    least
    be
    here
    19
    through
    the
    briefing
    schedule
    time.
    And
    they
    will
    set
    20
    up some kind
    of
    a system
    in the Springfield office
    for
    21
    you to make sure
    that you don’t walk
    out
    with
    22
    exhibits.
    And they’re here now,
    so
    if you need them
    23
    tomorrow,
    they should
    --
    you
    should
    have
    access
    to
    24
    them.

    you
    know,
    the
    3
    two
    photographs
    that
    were
    missing
    from

    HEARING OFFICER

    Do you have any idea
    10
    timewise?
    1.
    MS.
    RYAN:
    I
    understand
    it
    takes
    them
    about
    a
    12
    day after you request
    them
    to get them back,
    so
    a
    few
    13
    days
    I
    would
    think.
    14
    HEARING
    OFFICER
    FRANK:
    If
    you
    send
    them
    --
    15
    send
    them
    directly
    to
    me
    and
    I
    will
    take
    care
    of
    16
    making
    sure
    they’re
    in
    the
    right
    place
    in
    the
    exhibit.
    17
    Okay?
    18
    Thank you
    all very much.
