.
The applicant's address is as follows
:
Marathon Ashland Petroleum, LLC
Refinery Office Building
Robinson, Illinois 62454
3
.
The pollution control facilities involved in this request are located at the
aforementioned address and consist of the modification to existing equipment used in the
manufacture of reformulated gasoline. The modification, described as the DHT- Coker
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 13, 2005
* * * * PCB 2006-094* * * *
Naphtha Project, is primarily designed to enable the Distillate Hydrotreater to remove
sulfur in the gasoline pool and thereby reduce sulfur dioxide emissions caused by the use
of gasoline by automobiles and other gas-powered engines
.
4 .
Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2002),
defines "pollution control facilities" as
:
"anv system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant
thereto, or any portion of any 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, preheating, modifying or disposing of any potential solid, liquid,
gaseous pollutant which if released without treatment, pretreatment,
modification or disposal might he harmful, detrimental or offensive to
human, plant or animal life, or to property ."
5 .
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, as
provided by 35 ILCS 200/11-5 (2002)
.
6
.
Based on information in the application and the underlying purpose of the
DHT-Coker Naphtha Project to prevent, eliminate or reduce air pollution, it is the
Illinois EPA's engineering judgment that the described project and/or equipment may he
considered as "pollution control facilities" in accordance with the statutory definition and
consistent with the Board's regulations at 35 III . Adm. Code 125 200. Exhibit BI .
7 .
Because the DHT - Coker Naphtha Project satisfies the aforementioned
criteria, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board grant the applicant's requested tax
certification

Section C
Describe Unit Process :
This unit modification of the Distillate Hydrotreater was constructed because of the
increase in the Robinson crude sulfur level and the requirements of Reformulated
Gasoline. The Illinois Refining Division can now hydrotreat full range coker naphtha to
reduce the sulfur level in the gasoline pool. Once the full range naphtha has been
treated, it is split with the light naphtha going to the Saturate Gas Plant and the heavy
naphtha going to the Ultrafiner Unit

Subject :
Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC TC-04-30-12E
This Agency received a request on December 30, 2004 from Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC for an
Illinois EPA recommendation regarding tax certification of air pollution control facilities pursuant to 35 III
.
Adm. Code 125.204. I offer the following recommendation
.
The air pollution control facilities in this request include the following :
DHT-Coker Naphtha Project whose primary purpose is to remove Sulfur in the
gasoline pool which in turn reduces S02 emissions . Because the primary purpose of
this unit is to reduce or eliminate air pollution, it is certified as a pollution control facility
.
This facility is located at 100 Marathon Avenue, Robinson
The property identification number is Part of 51-34-1-21
Based on the information included in this submittal, it is my engineering Judgement that
the proposed facility may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35 IAC
125.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing air pollution,
or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax certification from
the Illinois Pollution Control Board. Therefore, it is my recommendation that the Board
issue the requested tax Certification for this facility
.
