2 .
The applicant's address is

.
3515 N. Staley
P .O
. Box 6659

3 .
The proposed water pollution control facilities in this request are located at SE

:

the Agency endorsed Agrichemical Facility Permit No
. 01116848 (Log

These facilities collect, transport, and store agrichemical rinsates, residues or

THIS FILING SUBMITTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
4.
Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2004), 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 (b)
treating, pretreating, modifying or disposing of any potential solid, liquid
or 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
."
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, 35 ILCS
200/11-5
.
6 .
Based on the information in the application and the purpose of the facilities, it is
the Illinois EPA's engineering judgment that the described facilities may be
considered "pollution control facilities," pursuant to 35 111
. Adm
. Code
125
.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing
water pollution, or as otherwise provided in 35 Ill
. Adm. Code 125 .200, and are
eligible for tax certification from the Board .
WHEREFORE, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board issue the
