These facilities are further described in the enclosed applications and supporting
documents.
Based on the information included in this submittal, it is our engineering judgment that
the above proposed facilities may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35
IAC 125
.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing water
pollution, or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax
certification from the Illinois Pollution Control Board
. The Bureau of Water therefore
recommends that the Board issue the requested tax certification for these facilities
.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact Chris Schwarz at 217/524-

Type of Operation
The facility is a food processing, storage, and distribution facility .
Pollution Control Facility
The facility uses an aerated lagoon to remove high strength BOD from the plant
production wastewater
. The effluent that leaves the lagoon is similar in characteristics to
domestic wastewater
. The plant's sanitary waste does not go to the lagoon
. The effluent from
the lagoon and the sanitary waste is combined at the POTW lift station
.
The facilities aeration lagoon system consists of the following parts
:
1
. submersible pump and valve vault lift station
2 . pH control system
3
. nutrient addition system
4
. bacta-pur system
5
. basin influent structure and piping

The only purpose of the lagoon system is to reduce the BOD before it is sent to the
POTW. The water that leaves the production facility to be treated by the lagoon is not used
again by the facility . They would be able to operate normally whither the lagoon had been
installed or not . The only purpose of the lagoon is to ensure that the water discharged to the
POTW meets state and/or federal pollution limits
.

ATTACHMENT 2
Section C : MANUFACTURING PROCESS
DESCRIBE UNIT PROCESS :
Pinnacle Foods, located in St . Elmo, Illinois, is a food processing, storage, and distribution facility . Purchased
ingredients are measured, blended, cooked and bottled to produce syrups/sauces for commerce .
MATERIALS USED IN PROCESS :
Bulk corn syrup is received and stored in outdoor enclosed horizontal tanks and is pumped into the facility for use .
Bulk vinegar is received and stored in outdoor vertical tank and is pumped into the facility for use . Other food
ingredients arrive by truck and are stored within the facilities buildings . Packaging supplies are received into
warehouse areas . The facility also serves as a warehouse distribution center for prepackaged cake mixes and
frostings, which arrive on pallets by truck and are stored inside .
Section D : POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY DESCRIPTION
DESCRIBE POLLUTION ABATEMENT CONTROL FACILITY :
An aerated lagoon is used as a pretreatment system to remove high strength Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
from the production plant wastewater stream and produce a resulting effluent that is similar in strength and waste
characteristics to domestic wastewater . The facility's sanitary waste is not treated through the aerated lagoon but
is mixed with the treated effluent at the City's POTW lift station . Attachment 1 contains the IEPA Water Pollution
Control Permit No . 2005-EE-2944 issued on January 19, 2005 by the IEPA Division of Water Pollution Control
.
Attachment 3 contains the pretreatment plans & specifications - page PR1- provides the process flow diagram .
Attachment 4 contains the cost and fair cash value for real property . The system consists of the following :
•
Submersible pump and Valve Vault Lift Station
•
pH Control System
•
Nutrient Addition System
•
Bacta-Pur System
•
Basin Influent Structure & Piping
•
Four (4) Aerators
•
Hydraulic Baffle
•
One Complete Mix Aerated Lagoon Cell
•
One Lagoon Cell for Settling
•
Basin Effluent Structure & Piping
•
Effluent Flow Monitoring Equipment and Structure
The influent lift station is installed near the processing facility on the south side of the building
. This lift station
collects the wastewater stream from the product batching and bottling area . It consists of 2-200 gpm submersible
pumps and associated controls and a circular precast concrete wet well and valve vault . The pH control system
provides an adjustment system that pumps caustic into the manhole based on the readings from the pH probe .
The nutrient addition system consists of a manufacturer-supplied container, which holds the nutrient solution, and a
chemical metering pump . The nutrients are pumped into the influent station wet well and are flow proportioned to
the flow . The Bacta-Pur System provides biological augmentation for the aerated lagoon system
. Flow from the lift
station is discharged into the first cell of a two cell aerated lagoon system . The lagoon is designed to treat a 30,000
gpd flow with an organic strength of 2,000 mg/I BOD . 100% of the process wastewater is collected . The treatment
goal is to reduce the BOD down to 240 mg/I prior to discharge to the City's wastewater treatment facility . The clay
lined aerated cell has a capacity of 728,000 gallons . Rip rap is provided at the water surface to protect the
embankment from erosion . The effluent control manhole has a telescoping valve in order to allow adjustment fo the
lagoon level . The aeration equipment consists of 2-15 HP and 2-10 HP splashing type aerators . A plastic hydraulic
