RECOMMENDATION

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

Recommendation pursuant to

Section

125.204 ofthe regulations ofthe Illinois Pollution

Control Board, 35

Ill.

Adrn. Code 125.204.

On April 2, 2004, the Illinois EPA received a request from McLean Properties,

LLC (log number TC-13-04, Exhibit A) for an Illinois

EPA recommendation

regarding the tax certification ofwater pollution control facilities pursuant to

Ill. Adm. Code

125.204.

The applicant’s address is:

McClean Properties, LLC

RR1Box42

McLean, Illinois

61754

The proposed waterpollution

control facilities in

this request are located at NE

‘/~

Section

T21N, R1E of the 3rd P.M.

in McLean County,

at the above street

address and consist ofthe following:

Livestock

waste management facilities consisting of one concrete manure

pit (41

ft.

x 234

ft.

ft. deep), with the slotted concrete portion ofthe

floor over

the manure pit and 6 concrete pump out

manure pits (each 6

ft.

ft.

deep) located

in each

of five swine

buildings;

one concrete

manure pit

(41

ft.

214

ft. x

ft. deep)

with

the slotted

concrete portion of

the

floor over

the

manure pit

and

concrete pump out manure pits (each

ft. x

ft.

in each of four swine

buildings.

THIS

FILING SUBMITTED

ON RECYCLED PAPER

These livestock waste management facilities are used to collect, transport, and/or

store livestock wastes prior to cropland application, and are further described in

Exhibit A.

Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2004), 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, or reducing 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.”

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 engineeringjudgment that the described facilities maybe

considered “pollution control facilities,” pursuant to 35 Ill.

Adm. Code

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

water pollution, or as otherwise provided in 35

Ill.

Adm. Code

125.200, and are

eligible for tax certification from

the Board.

WHEREFORE, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board issue

the
