RECOMMENDATION
Now Comes the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Illinois EPA”) by James Allen
Day, one ofits attorneys, and pursuant to Section
125.204 ofthe Illinois Pollution Control
Board’s (Board) regulations files the following Recommendation regarding the tax certification
ofwater pollution control facilities pursuant to 35
Ill. Adm.
Code 125.204.
1)
On December 2, 2002, the Illinois EPA reôeivéd a request from Burroughs Ag Service,
Inc. for an Illinois EPA recommendation regarding the tax certification ofwater pollution
control facilities pursuant to
35 Ill. Adm. Code
125.204, arid noted the request as log
number TC-13-02. (Exhibit A)
2)
The applicant’s mailing address is:
Burroughs Ag Service, Inc.
Box 488
Toluca, Illinois 61369-9801
3)
The waterpollution control facilities in this request are located at Section 27, Township
31 North, Range 2 East of the
3rd
Principal Meridian in LaSalle County, Illinois
and
include the following two separate facilities forpurposes ofthis recommendation:
(a)
Agrichemical containment structures consisting ofone minibulk/package
agrichemical secondary containment structure as approved under the Agency
endorsed Agrichemical Facility Permit No. 97084938 (Log No. 02097240).
(These facilities are further described in Exhibit A.)
(b)
The portion ofthe building over the minibulklpackage agrichemical
secondary containment structure.
(These facilities are further described in Exhibit
A.)
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 primarypurpose of:
(a) eliminating, preventing, or reducing
air or waterpollution
..
.
or (b) treating, pretreating, modifying ordisposing
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, orto property.”
5.
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, 35
ILCS 200/11-5
(2000).
6.
With respect to the facilities described in Paragraph 3(a) above (the containment
structures, building and associated collection and recovery systems), these facilities were
covered under the tax certification Log No. TC-49-98 issued March 20, 2000 by the
IllinOis EPA and therefore
do not require consideration or recommendation in this
action
by the Illinois Pollution Control Board.
7.
With respect to the facilities described in Paragraph 3(b) above (the portion ofthe
building over the minibulklpackage agrichemical secondary containment structure), based
on the information in the application and the purpose ofthe facilities (to
warehouse
products for future use), it is the Illinois EPA’s engineeringjudgment that the described
facilities are not “pollution control facilities,” pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 125.200(a),
with the primary purpose ofeliminating, preventing, or reducing waterpollution, or as
otherwise provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
125.200.
Therefore, the facilities arenot eligible
for tax certification from the Board.
8.
Therefore, the Illinois EPA recommends thatthe Board take no
action with respect to the
facilities described in Paragraph 3(a) above (the containment structures, building and
associated collection and recovery systems) and deny the requested tax certification for
the facilities described in Paragraph 3(b) above (the portion ofthe building over the
minibulk/package agrichemical secondary containment structure).
