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

orwater pollution

.

.

.

or (b) treating, pretreating, modifying or disposing ofany

potential solid, liquid or gaseous pollutant which if released withouttreatment,

pretreatment modification or disposal might be harmful, detrimental or offensive

to human, plant oranimal life, or to property.”

4.

Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, 35 ILCS 200/11-5

(2000).

5.

Based on the information in the application and the purpose ofthe facilities, to collect,

transport and/or store livestock wastes prior to cropland application, 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 waterpollution, or as otherwise provided in 35

Ill.

Adm.

Code

125.200 and therefore are eligible for tax certification from the Board.

tax certification.
