RECOMMENDATION
Now Comes the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Illinois EPA”), through its
attorneys, and pursuant to Section 125.204 ofthe Illinois Pollution Control Board’s (“Board”)
regulations, files the following Recommendation regarding the tax certification ofair pollution
control facilities pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.204.
1)
On July 10, 2003, the Illinois EPA received a request from Ameren Energy Generating
Company for an Illinois EPA recommendation regarding the tax certification ofair
pollution control facilities pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.204, and noted the request
as log number TC-03-07-10. (Exhibit A).
2)
The applicant’s address is:
Laura Moore
Ameren Energy Generating Company
1901 Chouteau
St. Louis, MO 63103
3)
The air pollution control facilities in this request are located at R.R. 1, Box 306, Coffeen,
Montgomery County and consist ofthe following:
Selective Catalytic Reduction system whose principal purpose is to reduce
emissions ofNitrogen Oxides from steam generating unit CB-1. Because the
primary purpose ofthis system is to reduce or eliminate air pollution, it is certified
as a pollution control facility.
4.
Section 11-10 ofthe Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2000), defines “pollution
control facilities” as: “any system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant
thereto or any portion ofany building or equipment, that is designed, constructed,
installed or operated for the primary purpose of: (a) eliminating, preventing, or reducing
air or waterpollution
. . .
or (b) treating, pretreating, modifying or disposing of any
potential solid, liquid or gaseous pollutant which if released without treatment,
pretreatment modification or disposal might be harmful, detrimental or offensive to
human, plant or animal life, or to property.”
5.
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, 35 ILCS 200/11-5
(2000).
6.
Based on the information in the application and the purpose ofthe facilities, to prevent,
eliminate or reduce air pollution, it is the Illinois EPA’s engineeringjudgment that the
described facilities may be considered “pollution control facilities,” pursuant to 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 125.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing
air pollution, or as otherwise provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.200. Therefore, the
facilities are eligible for tax certification from the Board.
7.
Therefore, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board issue the requested tax
certification.
