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 received 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, and noted the request as log
number TC-12-02. (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 29, Township
31
North, Range 7 East ofthe 3~
Principal Meridian in Stark County, Illinois and
include
the following two
separate facilities for purposes ofthis recommendation:
(a)
Agrichemical containment structures consisting ofone
minibulk/package
agrichemical secondary containment structure as approved under the Agency

endorsed Agrichemical FacilityPermit No. 98065318 (Log No. 03067550).
(These facilities are further described in Exhibit A.)
(b)
The portion of the building over the minibulk/package 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 primary purpose of:
(a) eliminating, preventing, orreducing
air or water pollution
..
.
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.
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-53-99
issued April 17, 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 are not eligible
for tax certification from the Board.
8.
Therefore,
the Illinois EPA recommends that the 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 of the building over the
minibulk/package agrichemical secondary containment structure).
