Item # Description of Deductions
1 .
$1,967 .40, deduction for costs that lack supporting documentation . Such costs are
ineligible for payment from the Fund pursuant to 35 Ill . Adm. Code 732 .606(gg). Since
there is no supporting documentation of costs, the Illinois EPA cannot determine that
costs will not be used for activities in excess of those necessary to meet the minimum
requirements of Title XVI of the Act ; therefore, such costs are not approved pursuant to
Section 57.7(c)(4)(C) of the Act because they may be used for corrective action activities
in excess of those required to meet the minimum requirements of Title XVI of the Act ..
Deduction for corrective action costs for analysis that are not reasonable as submitted .
Such costs are ineligible for payment from the Fund pursuant to Section 57.7(c)(4)(C) of
the Act and 35 Ill . Adm. Code 732 .606(hh) .
A deduction is being made in the amount of $1,916.00 from the Analysis costs . The
claim contained lab reports from Prairie Analytical for analysis work that suggests the
work was done by their company
. If the work was done by Prairie Analytical please
provide an invoice with dates the work was done and the amounts charged .
If the analytical work was done by US], to our knowledge USI is not an accredited lab .
