Section

(a) eliminating, preventing, or reducing
air or water pollution
.
.
.
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, or to property.”
6)
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, 35
ILCS 200/11-5
(2000).
7)
Based on the information in the application and the purpose ofthe facilities (collecting,

it is the Illinois EPA’s engineeringjudgment that the described facilities may

Code
125.200(a),
with the primarypurpose ofeliminating, preventing, or reducing water pollution, or as
