RECOMMENDATION
NOW COMES the ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
("Illinois EPA"), through its attorneys, and pursuant to 35 III
. Adm . Code 1-15
.204 of the
ILLINOIS POLUTION CONTROL BOARD'S ("Board") procedural regulations, files
the Illinois EPA's Recommendation in the above-referenced request for tax certification
of pollution control facilities
. In support thereof, the Illinois EPA states as follows
:
On December 30, 2004, the Illinois EPA received a request and supporting
information from MARATHON ASHLAND PETROLEUM, LLC, ("Marathon")
concerning the proposed tax certification of certain air emission sources and/or
equipment located at its Robinson refinery in Crawford County, Illinois
. A copy of the
relevant portions of the application is attached hereto
. Exhibit A] .
2.
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 installation of equipment used in the Mobil Oil
Sludge Coking ("MOSC") system
. The equipment, described as the Mosc tank, is
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERKS OFFICE, DECEMBER 13, 2005
* * * * PCB 2006-099 * * * *
primarily designed to reduce hazardous air pollutants and sludge during the coking cycIc
.
The Mose system allows materials with recoverable oil content to be injected into the
quench water during the coking cycle . In doing so, the oil in the injected material is
vaporized and recovered, thus contributing to the reduction in hazardous air pollutants
during the coking cycle .
4.
Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200111-1 0 (2002),
defines "pollution control facilities" as
:
"any 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 (h)
treating, pretreating, modifying or disposing of any potential solid, liquid,
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 .''
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
Mosc Tank to prevent, eliminate or reduce air pollution, it is the Illinois EPA's
engineering judgment that the described project and/or equipment may be considered as
"pollution control facilities" in accordance with the statutory definition and consistent
with the Board's regulations at 35 111
. Adm . Code 125 .200. [Exhibit B1 .
7.
Because the Mosc Tank satisfies the aforementioned criteria, the Illinois
EPA recommends that the Board grant the applicant's requested tax certification
.

Subject
: Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC TC-04-30-121
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
:
Mosc Tank whose primary purpose is to reduce hazardous pollutants during
the coking cycle
. 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
.
