relevant portions of the application is attached hereto . Exhibit Al .
2.
The applicant's address is as follows :

.
4.
Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/1
1-10 (2002),
defines "pollution control facilities" as :
"any system
. method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant

constructed, installed or operated for the primary purpose of : (a)
eliminating, preventing, or reducing air or water pollution . . . (It* (b)
treating. pretreating, modifying or disposing of any potential solid, liquid,
gaseous pollutant which if released without treatment, pretreatment,
modification or disposal might he harmful, detrimental or ofTensive to
human
. plant or animal life, or to property ."
5 .
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, as
provided by 35 IL-CS 200/11-5 (2002) .
6.
Based on information in the application and the underlying purpose of the

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 .
Because the Pump Enhancements-Leak Detection and Repair satisfy the
aforementioned criteria, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board grant the

>~S
Subject:
Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC TC-04-30-12H
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 :
Pump Enhancements-Leak Detection and Repair whose primary purpose is to
reduce Vac emissions from the pump seals
. 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.
