PRE-HEARING MOTION
INCLUDING MOTION
IN LIMINE
NOW COMES Respondent,
TNT LOGISTICS
NORTH AMERICA INC.
("TNT"),
by its attorneys, HODGE DWYER
ZEMAN, pursuant
to the Hearing Officer's
Order at the telephonic status
conference held September
28, 2006, and files its Pre-
Hearing Motion
including Motion in Limine
("Pre-hearing Motion") in this
matter.
I. MOTION TO
SEQUESTER WITNESSES
TNT moves the Hearing Officer to issue
an Order that all non-party
witnesses for
Complainant and for Respondent
in this matter (that
is, all witnesses other
than Mr. Haser
and a
corporate representative of TNT)
will be sequestered at hearing
so as to exclude
such witnesses
from the hearing prior to such
witnesses' testimony. "Excluding
witnesses
is an appropriate device
to preclude a witness from
shaping his testimony
to
conform to
the testimony of those who already
have testified." In re H.S.H.,
751 N.E.2d
1236, 1241 (2d Dist. 2001).
(Citations omitted.) Illinois
Pollution Control Board
("Board")
Hearing Officers regularly sequester
non-party witnesses
at hearing. See e.g.,
People v. Skokie Valley Asphalt
Co. Inc, et al., No. PCB
96-98, hearing transcript at 21-
22 (I11.Pol.Control.Bd.
Oct. 30, 2003); County
of DuPage v. Saleem,
No. 96 CD 494,
hearing transcript at pp.
8-9 (I11.Pol.Control.Bd. April 1, 1998).
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, OCTOBER 17, 2006
II.
MOTION TO INSTRUCT WITNESSES
NOT TO COMMUNICATE
WITH
EACH
OTHER REGARDING TESTIMONY
DURING HEARING
TNT also moves the Hearing
Officer to issue an Order that no witness
may
communicate with
another witness during the hearing in this matter
regarding testimony
given,
or to be given, during the hearing.
Such Order is necessary to effectuate
the
sequestering of witnesses
discussed above; that is, if witnesses
are sequestered, but can
discuss
the testimony of other witnesses,
the sequestration order is rendered
meaningless.
"If a trial court possesses the
authority to exclude witnesses
to
prevent
fabrication, it
necessarily
follows that the court also possesses
the authority to instruct witnesses not to
discuss their testimony with
other witnesses." In re H.S.H., 751
N.E.2d 1236, 1241 (2d
Dist.
2001). (Citations omitted.)
III. MOTION
IN LIMINE
TNT
further moves the Hearing
Officer to issue an Order in Limine prohibiting
the introduction
of certain testimony and evidence at hearing
as set forth below.
A.
Testimony
of Witnesses First Identified on Final
Witness List
-
of witnesses that
Complainant identified for
the first time on his Witness List filed
October 2, 2006,
specifically:
"
State Representative,
Debbie Haloversen;
"
Diane
Pieczynski, Village of Monee;
and,
"
Erwin Bogs, former Planning
& Zoning Chairman; Monee.
See Complainant's
Witness List attached hereto as Exhibit A.
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, OCTOBER 17, 2006
On January 24,
2006, TNT served its
Interrogatories
on
Complainant. See TNT's
Notice of Service of Discovery Documents, January 24, 2006, filed with the Board.
TNT's Interrogatory No. 6
requested
as
follows:
Pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rule 213(f) (a copy of which is
enclosed), please identify
the
name and
address of
each witness - lay,
independent expert,
and/or controlled
expert
- who will testify
at
any
hearing in this matter and all other information required for each witness.
See TNT's Interrogatories, relevant portions of which are attached hereto as Exhibit B, at
11.
TNT's Interrogatories also noted that the Board's Rules require Complainant to
amend his Answers to TNT's Interrogatories whenever "the response is in some material
respect incomplete." Id. at 2 (citing 35111. Admin. Code § 101.616(h)).
Thereafter,
Complainant answered
TNT's
Interrogatories, including Interrogatory
No. 6. See Wayne Haser Interrogatory Responses, attached hereto as Exhibit C, at 1. He
did not,
however, identify Ms. Haloversen, Ms. Pieczynski, or Mr. Bogs, in response to
Interrogatory No. 6 or otherwise. See id. Complainant also thereafter served
"Additions
a cop
y o
which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, but again did not identify
these persons. See
Exhibit
D.
Illinois Supreme Court Rule 213(f) requires that "[u]pon
written
interrogatory,
a
party must furnish
the identity and addresses of witnesses who will testify at trial and
provide" additional specified information. Ill. Sup.
Ct.
R. 213(f). (Emphasis
added.) In
addition, both
Supreme Court Rule 213(f) and the Board's Rules require a party to
supplement its responses to Interrogatories whenever its original responses
become
3
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, OCTOBER 17, 2006
incomplete.
TNT served a Rule 213 Interrogatory
on Complainant
seeking the identity of
Complainant's witnesses,
and further specifically noted
Complainant's duty to
supplement
his responses to TNT's
Interrogatories. Complainant
answered TNT's Rule
213 Interrogatory, but
did not identify these three persons
as witnesses. Then, after the
Hearing
Officer on September 28th
ordered the parties to file their final
Witness Lists in
preparation for hearing,
Complainant for the first
time identified these persons
as
witnesses
on his final Witness List. This
renders TNT's Rule 213 Interrogatory
and the
Board's Rule requiring
supplementation of responses
to interrogatories --
and the
discovery
process in general -- meaningless.
Therefore, TNT moves
the Hearing Officer
to issue an
Order
in
Limine prohibiting these
three witnesses from testifying
at the
hearing
in this matter.
B.
Testimony of Any Other Undisclosed
Witnesses
Second, for the reasons
stated above, TNT further
moves the Hearing
Officer to
issue an Order in
Limine barring Complainant
from presenting testimony
from any other
witness that Complainant
did not identify in response
to TNT's Interrogatories.
C. Introduction of Undisclosed
Evidence
Third, TNT
moves the Hearing Officer to issue
an Order in Limine barring
Complainant
from offering into evidence
any document or other
evidence, or utilizing
any demonstrative exhibit,
at hearing which Complainant
did not produce in
response to
TNT's Requests
for Production. TNT
served its Requests for
Production on Complainant
on January 24, 2006.
See TNT's Notice of Service
of Discovery Documents,
January 24,
2006, filed
with the Board. TNT's
Request for Production No. 14
stated: "Please
produce all exhibits which
you intend to, or may
seek to, enter into evidence
or use as a
4
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, OCTOBER 17, 2006
demonstrative exhibit
at any Hearing in this matter."
See TNT's Requests for
Production,
relevant portions of which are
attached hereto as Exhibit E,
at 6. In response
to TNT's Requests for
Production, Complainant produced
certain documents attached
hereto as Exhibit
F. TNT moves the Hearing
Officer to issue an
Order in Limine
prohibiting Complainant
from seeking to introduce into
evidence, or to utilize any
demonstrative
exhibit, at hearing any other
documents, or any other
evidence of any kind,
other
than the documents that
Complainant produced in response
to TNT's Requests for
Production, attached
hereto as Exhibit F.
D. Undisclosed
Opinion Testimonv
Fourth,
TNT moves the Hearing
Officer to issue an
Order in Limine prohibiting
Complainant from presenting
any opinion testimony
at hearing which
Complainant did
not specifically
identify in response
to TNT's Interrogatories and/or
pursuant to the
Hearing Officer's deadlines
for disclosure of
opinion witnesses and
testimony. TNT's
Interrogatory
No. 6 sought disclosure
of all witnesses and
testimony, including, but
not
limited to, opinion
witnesses and opinion
testimony. See discussion
above. As noted
above,
Complainant responded
to TNT's Interrogatory
No. 6. In addition,
the Hearing
Officer twice directed
Complainant to identify
"Complainant's opinion
witnesses and
their opinions,"
first by April 15, 2006,
and later by
June
1,
2006. See Hearing
Officer
Orders dated
January 30, 2006, and June 5, 2006.
In response,
Complainant filed his
"Additions
to Interrogatory Responses
No.'s 6, 7
& 8; additional witnesses,
as
discussed," a copy
of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit D. TNT
moves the Hearing
Officer
to issue an Order prohibiting
Complainant from
offering any opinion testimony
that Complainant did not
specifically disclose
in response to TNT's
Interrogatories and/or
5
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, OCTOBER 17, 2006
in
a disclosure of opinion witnesses
and testimony pursuant
to the Hearing Officer's
Orders setting
deadlines for such disclosure.
IV. RESERVATION
OF RIGHTS
Finally, TNT is
not aware of any other specific
evidence or testimony
which
Complainant intends to introduce
at the hearing in this matter
as to which TNT wishes to
move in limine at this
time. TNT reserves its right
at hearing to object
to any testimony
or evidence offered by
Complainant on any grounds, including,
but not limited to, that
such testimony is irrelevant,
is hearsay, is cumulative,
is prejudicial,
and/or was not
previously disclosed by Complainant
in response to TNT's
Interrogatories and Requests
for Production.
V. CONCLUSION
WHEREFORE, Respondent,
TNT LOGISTICS NORTH
AMERICA INC.,
respectfully
moves the Hearing
Officer to issue the
Pre-Hearing Orders requested
above,
and to
grant TNT all other relief just
and proper in the premises.

Village of Monee - Bailly Ridge
Corporate Center
A coustic Associates
visited the home of Vince Neri at 6530 Lakeview Lane in Monee, Illinois, to
assess
the- noise emissions from the Bailly Ridge Corporate
Center.
The noise from this
facility
se -
include a number of
trucks idling and moving around the lot area, backup alarms, horns, airbrake
release,
and impact noise from truck hitching
operations.
Although
there is a berm that visually
separates
the operation from the residential area
to
the
south,
the residents believes
this noise has a
negative
impact on the use and enjoyment of their property. The Village of Monee retained us to
conduct an objective evaluation of the noise
from
this
site.
Noise Level Sampling
To take noise samples,
we used a high precision sound level meter connected to a hard disk drive recorder. After
the equipment was calibrated,
a digital recording was started and remained on during the entire 2'h hour visit.
The equipment was set up at the
first location on the grade level deck in the backyard of 6530 Lakeview Lane, a
home south of the Bailly Ridge Center. The second location was in the backyard
Lab and Data Analysis
T he digital recording was analyzed in our laboratory to generate 1/3-octave band spectra at 1-second intervals.
The
relevant
data blocks were extracted to calculate the equivalent level (Leq) and the 90% exceedence level
(Lso)
at all octave band frequencies. The Leq is, the average sound energy over a stated time period and is the
accepted
environmental noise metric. It is superior to using the "fast meter response" as currently stipulated in
the Village performance standard for noise
(Chapter
10, Section 11-10-2) because of its objectivity, its
repeatability, and its better correlation to human response to noise.
In environmental noise assessment, the background noise must be quantified because noise limits should only
pertain to
that
noise
radiated from a facility, not from extraneous locations. In this case, the important source of
from the Center was not audible, we estimated this level by conducting a statistical analysis to determine the
level exceed 90% of the time, a metric known as the L9o level. This analysis is only meaningful when the source
noise is characterized by intermittent
or
impulsive
sound
(as in this case). To determine the noise radiated from
the facility, the L9o level is subtracted from the
Leq
on a logarithmic basis. The result is the "source noise
emissions level."
Findings
F IG 1 shows the overall A-weighted Level as
a function
of
time
during our visit As you can see, during the 1-
hour sample on the south side, the I -sec Leq levels ranged from 43-63 dBA. On the west side, the levels ranged
from 42-55 dBA. The estimated ambient noise level was 44 dBA on the south side and 43 dBA on the
west.
FIG 2 shows the octave
band spectra for both locations after background noise corrections were made. These
spectra represent 5-minute Leqs from 8:15-8:20 PM for the south and 10:05-10:10 PM for the west. As seen in
this figure, the source levels on the south side exceeded the Village of Monee noise limits (shown by the
columns) for noise radiated to residential property during nighttime hours (i.e., 10 PM to 7:00 AM) at the 1000-
and 2000 Hz bands. The source noise emissions to the west side were found to be within the Village limits.

Re: TNT Trucking Terminal
Monee, Illinois
Dear Mr.
Burke:
During the period of October 7-10,2003,
we conducted one-third octave
band acoustical
measurements of
ambient conditions
on the site of the proposed
terminal In Monee,
Illinois.
The
measurements
were conducted near
the south boundary of the parcel located
at the
southwest corner of W. Monee Manhattan Road and S. Ridgeland
Avenue (LotThres).
Measurements were not continuous, but were conducted
in 1tuee sessions due
to destruction of
cabling by
wildlife.
Acoustical
Measurements
Table 1 displays the
periods during which measurements were conducted.
We chose the date
of measurements based on weather conditions
and availability of instrumentation.

Your TNT warehouse and in specific (the
manager) have no respect and
mostly contempt for its neighbors. I have lived in the country (5 acres) for
21 years in peace. Now you run trucks 24-7 and the noise Issue is humorous loo
your extended
family. How dare you? Have-96b no responsibility? No remorse?
Corporate needs to investigate how your transportation and
logistics leaches
have
soiled your reputation and ruined our country
side horse community. Please
advise.

Narrative:
On 01-04-05 at 10:07 am I was
dispatched to the Haser residence
at 25763 Willow
Creek in .the Whispering
Creek Subdivision
In Monee Tw in reference
to an on oin noise
complaint, Upon
an"Iyal
at 1OAO am the_
un ersigne me with victim ayne
A Heser, who-providad the
foilowing4nformation-in .summary:
-
-
For
the past two months the Michelin
warehouse located
on Ridgeland Ave directly southeast from
his .
residence
that is located in the Village
of Monee has been under.construction..
There has been
a constant
stream of trucks
seven days a week in and out
of the construction site. Now that
the warehouse is
operational, there are trucks being
moved and spotted
as late as 12:00 midnights, causing
a disturbance
and. difficulty in his sleeping.
M r. Haser says he has attended
Monee Village Board Meetings
to complain and makes his
concerns
known and was
advised by Monee that he
would have to make his complaint with the
Sheriffs Department
because he lives in the county.
1-1e requested a report
me made so he had information
to take back to the
village showing
a complaint was made in an attempt
to get them to enforce their
noise. ordinance that he.
believes
they do have, but they will
not provide him to stop the late
night trailers being dropped and
spotted. The trailers
make
a
lot of noise when dropped
from the trailer and a rear
or back-up alarm used
on the spotting truck to move
them.
Mr.
Haser states he has not spoke with management
from Michelin, but intends
to. He also requested a
case report number so that he would
have that to take with
him for that. Mr. Haser was provided
with this
case report number. No further
information at this time.
