    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.

    of DuPage v. Saleem,
    No. 96 CD 494,

    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

    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.

    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.

    Barriers and berms are
    capable of
    attenuating noise up to a
    maximum
    of
    2224 d8, depending
    on site
    geometry,
    We
    modeled
    the
    sound attenuation
    of a berm and barrier
    (wall) combination
    located in
    a
    200 foot
    wide buffer area along the south
    boundary of Lot Three.
    The berm slope
    on the north and south faces is limited to
    3.5:1.
    The height of the berm/wall system
    was
    modeled. to be 30
    feet.
    high, from the rear of the truck curb
    (840 feet ASL).
    As we have no
    topographical information on
    residential properties
    located
    to the south
    of
    the
    proposed terminal, we have assumed that the land is flat from the base

    Predicted Sound Level Emissions at Proposed TNT
    Facility
    In order to predict
    sound
    levels
    on
    residential
    property due to proposed terminal
    operation,
    we
    have used previous
    sound
    level
    measurements from the Kellogg's Logistics Terminal
    in
    Minooka
    Illinois, a 1,000,000 square foot facility abutting residential property.
    One*ird
    octave band sound level measurements were conducted on July 15, 2003 of three
    measured events: .General Activity, Spotter
    Tractor
    With
    Backup Alarm and Truck
    Passby.

    equipment was located near
    the

    boundary
    (access control
    fence)
    at an
    average distance of 200
    feet
    from
    most
    activities.
    Sound level data have been normalized
    for
    the
    effects of distance and the above bonier Insertion
    tosses have been applied,
    In

    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.
