    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    On March 29, 2005, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the
    State of Illinois (People), filed a two-count complaint against ACI Environmental Corporation
    and Asbestos Control, Inc. (respondents).
    See
    415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2000); 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    103.204. The People allege that respondents violated Sections 9(a) and 9.1(d) of the
    Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/9(a) and 9.1(d) (2002)), 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    201.141, and 40 C.F.R. §61.145(c)(3) and (c)(6). The People further allege that respondents
    violated these provisions by conducting renovations in the boiler room of the Oak Meadows Golf
    Course, located at 900 Wood Dale Road, Addison, DuPage County.
    The Board accepts the complaint for hearing.
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.212(c). A
    respondent’s failure to file an answer to a complaint within 60 days after receiving the complaint
    may have severe consequences. Generally, if respondents fails within that timeframe to file an
    answer specifically denying, or asserting insufficient knowledge to form a belief of, a material
    allegation in the complaint, the Board will consider respondents to have admitted the allegation.
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204(d). The Board directs the hearing officer to proceed expeditiously to
    hearing.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on April 21, 2005, by a vote of 5-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
