    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):
     
    On July 14, 2003, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the State
    of Illinois (People), filed a complaint against Greg Prey d/b/a King Tire.
    See
    415 ILCS
    5/31(c)(1) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204. The People allege that Greg Prey violated
    Sections 21(k); 55(a)(4), (d)(1), (e), and (g); and 55.6(b) of the Environmental Protection Act
    (415 ILCS 5/ (2002)) and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 848.202(b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(4), (b)(5) and 848.601(a).
    The People further allege that Greg Prey violated these provisions by storing more than 50 used
    tires and up to 2,400 new, used, and waste tires without registering as a tire storage site and
    paying the annual fee, by storing used tires in violation of established standards for storage of
    used tires, and by transporting used tires in a vehicle bearing expired transported placards. The
    complaint concerns Greg Prey’s tire retail facility located at 237 First Street, LaSalle, LaSalle
    County.
     
    The Board accepts the complaint for hearing.
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.212(c). A
    respondent’s failure to file an answer to a complaint within 60 days after receiving the complaint
    may have severe consequences. Generally, if Greg Prey fails within that timeframe to file an
    answer specifically denying, or asserting insufficient knowledge to form a belief of, a material
    allegation in the complaint, the Board will consider Greg Prey to have admitted the allegation.
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204(d). The Board directs the hearing officer to proceed expeditiously to
    hearing.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on July 24, 2003, by a vote of 6-0.
     
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
