RECOMMENDATION

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Illinois EPA”) hereby files its

Recommendation pursuant to Section 125.204 ofthe regulations ofthe Illinois Pollution

Control Board,

Ill. Adm. Code 125.204.

On December 23, 2002, the Illinois EPA received a request from Grass Man Law

Care (log number TC-20-02, Exhibit A) for an Illinois EPA recommendation

regarding the tax certification ofwaterpollution control facilities pursuant to 35

Ill. Adm. Code 125.204.

The applicant’s address is:

Mr. Emmet Rusteberg

Grass Man Lawn Care

State Route, Post Office Box 105

Waterloo, Illinois 62298

The proposed water pollution control facilities in this request are located at

Section 13, T2S, R1OW ofthe

3rd

P.M. in Monroe County, at the above street

address and consist ofthe following:

Property IdentificationNo. 07-13-400-004-006

Agrichemical containment structures consisting ofone liquid agrichemical

operational area containment structure; one bulk liquid agrichemical

secondary containment structure; the portion ofthe building over one

liquid agrichemical operational area containment structure and one bulk

THIS FILING

SUBMITTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

collection and recovery systems as approved under Agency endorsed

Agrichemical Facility Permit No. 96064327 (Log No.

01056587).

These facilities collect, transport, and store agrichemical rinsates, residues, or

washwaters prior to reuse or disposal, and are further described in Exhibit A.

Section 11-10 ofthe Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2002), defmes

“pollution control facilities” as:

“any system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant

thereto or any portion of any 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 ofany 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, orto property.”

Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, 35 ILCS

200/11-5

Based on the information in the application and the purpose ofthe facilities, it is

the Illinois EPA’s engineering judgment that the described facilities maybe

considered “pollution control facilities,” pursuant to 35 111. Adm. Code

125.200(a), with the primary purpose ofeliminating, preventing, or reducing

water pollution, or as otherwise provided in 35 ill. Adm. Code 125.200, and are

eligible fortax certification from the Board.

WHEREFORE, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board issue the

requested tax certification.
