    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N.J. Melas):
     
    On December 12, 2003, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the
    State of Illinois (People), filed a complaint against Hauck Homes, Inc. d/b/a Rock River Estates
    Mobil Home Park (Hauck Homes).
    See
    415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204.
    The People allege that Hauck Homes violated Sections 12(a) and (f) of the Environmental
    Protection Act (Act) and Sections 304.121(a), 304.141(a), 305.102(a), and 306.102(a) of the
    Board’s water pollution regulations. 415 ILCS 5/12(a), (f) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    304.121(a), 304.141(a), 305.102(a), and 306.102(a). The People further allege that Hauck
    Homes violated these provisions by allowing fecal coliform concentrations at its wastewater
    treatment plant to exceed Board regulations. The complaint concerns Hauck Homes’ mobile
    home park located at Dixon, Lee County.
     
    On January 18, 2005, the People and Hauck Homes filed a stipulation and proposed
    settlement, accompanied by a request for relief from the hearing requirement of Section 31(c)(1)
    of the Act (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2002)). This filing is authorized by Section 31(c)(2) of the Act
    (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (2002)).
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.300(a). Under the proposed
    stipulation, Hauck Homes denies the alleged violations and agrees to pay a civil penalty of
    $12,000.
     
    Unless the Board determines that a hearing is needed, the Board must cause notice of the
    stipulation, proposed settlement, and request for relief from the hearing requirement. Any person
    may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If anyone timely
    files a written demand for hearing, the Board will deny the parties’ request for relief and hold a
    hearing. 415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.300(b), (c). The Board directs the
    Clerk of the Board to provide the required notice.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on February 3, 2005, by a vote of 4-0.
