Recommendation of Tax Certification

Log

ft TC-02-04

The Bureau of Water received a request on March

15, 2004

from Walters’

Ag Service, Inc.

for an Illinois

EPA

recommendation regarding the tax certification of water pollution

control

facilities pursuant to

35

Il.

Adm. Code

125.204.

We offer the following recommendation.

The water pollution control

facilities in this request include the

following:

Walters’ Ag Service, Inc.

22003

E. IL Route 116

Hwy

Fannington,

IL

61531

Section 3, T8N, R4E of the 4th P.M. in Fulton

County

Agrichemical containment structures consisting of one (1) liquid agrichemical operational area containment

structure;

two (2) bulk liquid agrichemical secondary containment structurS; associated collection and recovery

systems;

two

(2) dry fertilizer operational containment structures; one (1)dry fertilizer blending operational

containment structure; and the

portion of the building over one

(1) liquid agrichemical operational area containment

structure, one (1) bulk liquid agrichemical secon4ary containment structure,

and

one (1) dry fertilizer blending

operational containment structure as approved under the Agency

endorsed Agrichemical Facility Permit No.

91120940

(Log No. 02016891

issued April

15,

2002).

These facilities collect,

transport, and

store agrichemical

rinsates,

residues, or washwaters prior to reuse

or disposal.

These facilities are further described in the

enclosed applications

and supporting documents.

Based on the information included

in this submittal, it is our engineering judgment that the

above proposed facilities

may be considered

“Pollution Control Facilities” under 35

IAC l23.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating,

preventing, or reducing water pollution, or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax

certification from the

Illinois Pollution Control Board.

The Bureauof Water therefore recommends

that the Board

issue

the requested tax

certification for these facilities.

If you have any questions regarding

the

above, please contact James Allison at 217/782-3362.
