    (County No. 077 803 5009)
    (Administrative Citation)
     
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by A.S. Moore):
     
    On January 30, 2006, the County of Jackson timely filed an administrative citation
    against Dan Kimmel.
    See
    415 ILCS 5/31.1(c) (2004); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(c). Jackson
    County alleges that Kimmel violated Sections 21(p)(1) and 21(p)(7) of the Environmental
    Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/21(p)(1), 21(p)(7) (2004)). Jackson County further alleges that
    Kimmel violated these provisions on December 7, 2005, by causing or allowing the open
    dumping of waste resulting in litter and in the deposition of general construction or demolition
    debris or clean construction or demolition debris at 1065 Dumaroc Road, DeSoto, Jackson
    County.
     
    As required, Jackson County served the administrative citation on Kimmel on January 24,
    2006 within “60 days after the date of the observed violation.” 415 ILCS 5/31.1(b) (2004);
    see
    also
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(b). On February 2, 2006, Kimmel timely filed with the Board a
    letter that the Board has construed as a petition to contest the administrative citation.
    See
    415
    ILCS 5/31.1(d) (2004); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.204(b).
     
    The Board accepts the petition for Kimmel’s appeal as timely filed, pursuant to 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 108.204(b) (setting 35-day deadline for filing). However, the Board finds that the
    petition does not satisfy the content requirements of the Board’s procedural rules because it does
    not include any reason why Kimmel believes the citation was improperly issued.
    See
    35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 108.206.
     
    The Board directs Kimmel to file an amended petition for review specifying the reason or
    reasons why he believes the citation was improperly issued.
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.206. If
    Kimmel does not file an amended petition within 30 days of the date of this order, this petition
    will be dismissed.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    2
     
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on February 16, 2006, by a vote of 4-0.
     
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
