ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
On September 24, 2007, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed an
administrative citation against Salam H. Nijme and Shasban Karam A. Nijme (respondents).
See
415 ILCS 5/31.1 (2006); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202. The Agency alleged that respondents
violated Sections 21(p)(1), (p)(3), and (p)(7) of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS
5/21(p)(1), (p)(3), (p)(7) (2006)) by causing or allowing the open dumping of waste in a manner
resulting in litter, open burning, and the deposition of general or clean construction or demolition
debris. The administrative citation concerns respondents’ facility located at the corner of Route
157 and Route 13 in Cahokia, St. Clair County, and identified with Site Code No. 1630300025.
However, in a December 4, 2007 motion to dismiss, the Agency states that it failed to serve the
administrative citation on respondents within “60 days after the date of the observed violation.”
415 ILCS 5/31.1(b) (2006));
see also
35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(b). The Board grants the
Agency’s motion, dismisses this case, and closes the docket.
See
35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.402.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, John Therriault, Assistant Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the
Board adopted the above order on December 20, 2007, by a vote of 4-0.
