PETITION TO CONTEST ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY'S ADMINISTFUTIVE CITATION
NOW COMES
Respondents, JOHN A.
&
KAY E. OLDHAM, by and through their
attorneys, Brown, Hay
&
Stephens, LLP, Claire A. Manning and Charles Y. Davis, of counsel,
and pursuant to Section 3 1.1 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (41
5
ILCS 513 1. I), and
Part 108 of Title
3 5 of the Illinois Administrative Code, and as and for their Petition to Contest
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's Administrative Citation, state as follows:
1.
On May 22, 2007, Complainant filed an Administrative Citation ("AC") with the
Illinois Pollution Control Board (
"the Board") alleging,
inter alicl,
that the Respondents own and
operate an open dumping facility without an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (
"IEPA")
permit. See Administrative Citation,
Illinois Environnzental Protection Agency
v.
John A.
&
Kay
E.
Oldham,
IEPA No. 139-06-AC at
7
1 (May 22,2007).
2.
Respondents are the owners of the property at issue, 693 Oskaloosa Road,
in rural
Xenia, Clay County, Illinois, but deny that their property is an open dump requiring an IEPA
operating permit.
3.
The Complainant further alleges that the Respondents violated the Illinois
Environmental Protection Act (
"Act") as follows:
(1)
That Respondents caused or allowed the open dumping of waste in a
manner resulting in litter, a violation of Section
21(p)(l) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/21(p)(l).
(2)
That Respondents caused or allowed the open dumping of waste in a
manner resulting in deposition of general construction or demolition debris or clean construction
or demolition debris, a violation of Section 2 1
(p)(7) of the Act, 41 5 ILCS 5/21 (p)(7).
4.
Section 108.206 of the Board's regulations provides, in part, "a formal petition to
contest must include any reasons why the AC recipient believes that AC was improperly issued,
including: b) the AC recipient did not cause or allow the alleged violations..
.
d) the alleged
violation was the result of
~mcontrollable circumstances." 35 Ill. Admin. Code Section 108.206.
5.
Respondents did not cause or allow the alleged open dumping, which, if such
occurred as alleged, was a result of uncontrollable circumstances
p~~suant
to 35 Ill. Admin. Code
$5
108.208(b) and (d).
WHEREFORE, Respondents, JOHN
A.
&
KAY E. OLDHAM, respectfi~lly request that
the Illinois Pollution Control Board enter an order dismissing the Administrative Citation and
denying civil penalties and any other relief sought therein.
Respectfi~lly submitted,
JOHN A.
