Section 22, T2ON, R9W ofthe 3~P.M. in Mason County, at the above street
address and consist of the following:
Livestock waste management facilities consisting offour concrete manure
pits (loft. x 112 ft. x 15 inches deep), each with one pull plug, four
concrete manure pits (8ft. by 112 ft. by 15 inches deep) each with one pull

each ofeight swine buildings; one synthetic. lined lagoon (760 ft. x 170 ft.

4.
Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2004), defines

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.
6.
Based on the information in the application and the purpose ofthe facilities, it is
