ILCS 5/31.1 (2006).
FACTS
1.
That Gene Breeden("Respondent") is the present owner and operator of a facility
located at 104 West Lincoln Street, Loda, Iroquois County, Illinois. The property is commonly known

Pursuant to Section 31.1(d)(1) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/31.1(d)(1) (2006), if Respondent fails
to petition or elects not to petition the Illinois Pollution Control Board for review of this Administrative
Citation within thirty-five (35) days of the date of service, the Illinois Pollution Control Board shall
adopt a final order, which shall include this Administrative Citation and findings of violation as
alleged herein, and shall impose the statutory civil penalty specified above.
When payment is made, Respondent's check shall be made payable to the Illinois

against the Respondent from the date payment is due up to and including the date that payment is
3
 
received. The Office of the Illinois Attorney General may be requested to initiate proceedings
against Respondent in Circuit Court to collect said penalty and/or hearing costs, plus any interest
accrued.

General Comments:
On January 11, 2007 at 11:52 A.M., I conducted an inspection at the G & D Salvage facility, located
at 104 West Lincoln — P.O. Box 386, Loda, Illinois 60948, phone number 217/386-2852.
This inspection was conducted in response to complaints first alleging that a large amount of refuse
had been accumulated on site on January 7, 2008 that the complainant suspected would be open
burned and then that the open burning of the reported waste was indeed occurring on January 11,
2008.
The purpose of this inspection was to determine regulatory status and evaluate compliance with the
Illinois Environmental Protection Act (Act) and Title 35 Illinois Administrative Code, Subtitle G:
Land Pollution (Regulations). The inspection consisted of walking around the site, taking pictures,
and talking to Mr. Gene Breeden, Owner. The weather was partly cloudy, the temperature 32
degrees.
Background:
This facility was first inspected by Kent Johnson, IEPA inspector, on November 16, 1994 resulting
in the site being cited for open burning of used tires and refuse. An Administrative Warning Notice
dated January 11, 1995, was sent to Mr. Gene Breeden Sr. Mr. Breeden responded in a letter
received by the Agency on January 30, 1995 stating that "burning had stopped completely". The site
was re-inspected on December 7, 1995 and all violations were noted as "technically resolved" in an
IEPA letter dated May 24, 1996.
The site was inspected again on April 2, 2003 and cited for used tire violations and open dumping of
apparent used oil resulting in a Violation Notice dated May 9, 2003 being sent to Mr. Gene Breeden.
He responded in a letter received by the agency on May 19, 2003 providing information that he
believed he had returned the site to compliance. His Compliance Commitment Agreement was
accepted by the Agency in a letter dated May 30, 2003.

The site was inspected by Curt White, IEPA Inspector, on April 25, 2006, in response to a complaint
that used tires were being open burned. While no used tires were observed being open-burned, other
waste was observed being open-burned. An Administrative Citation, dated May 19, 2005, was
served on Mr. Gene Breeden Sr. for a penalty of $3000.00.
The IPCB ordered the fine to be paid by August 8, 2005. The penalty was paid in July of 2005.
I inspected the site on March 7, 2007 in response to a complaint that open burning was occurring and
the facility was served an Administrative Citation, dated 03/30/07 in the amount of $6000.00. The
penalty has been paid.
Inspection:
When I arrived at the site I drove along the east fence toward the south end of the facility where the
waste was reportedly being open-burned. As I neared the south fence I could see smoke billowing
from a large pile of refuse over toward the center of the south end of the facility (see photos #1 and
#2).
I turned the vehicle around and proceeded back toward the office when I noticed that the east gate
was open. I drove into the facility and started toward the area where I had observed the smoke.
As I drove, a truck coming from the opposite direction stopped and I recognized the driver as Mr.
Gene Breeden, the facility owner, so I also stopped. He asked if I had stopped in at the office and I
said I had not since the gate was open. He said "you usually do". I replied that I had seen the smoke
and needed to investigate the source. He said that vandals had set the fire and that both the County
inspectors and the fire department had been there. I said the fire should have been extinguished.
We had a short discussion about the possibility of a penalty in which I replied that there was a strong
possibility of a penalty given the past history of the site. He said he had paid a penalty last year and
he believed that he would fight any penalty imposed for this occurrence. I said that was his right and
that if he lost the cost would be the addition of hearing costs. I also told him the hearing would be
held in the county. He said to stop at the office before I left the site and left.

I drove south then west to the area where I had observed the smoke rising from the refuse pile. I saw
a large pile of refuse, measuring approximately 40' x 10' x 10', that looked like metal, scraps of
dimensional lumber, plastic, and insulation as might be expected from demolishing mobile homes as
well as residue from open burning of the waste. The pile had smoke billowing up from it's entire
length (see photos #3, #4, #6, #7, #8, and #9) indicating fire was present. There was also one spot in
the approximate center of the pile on the south side where visible fire was present (not visible in
photos) with flames approximately 18 inches high. To the southwest side of the pile of smoking
refuse there was a smaller pile of the same type of refuse that had no evidence of fire visible (see
photo #5).
I went back to the office where Mr. Breeden.and I again discussed the burning debris. He said he
had been vandalized with windows broken out of vehicles and he was sure vandals had started this
fire. He said the fire department from Watseka had been there. I again told him that who started the
fire did not matter, that it must be prevented. I also pointed out some additional waste scattered
around the site near the building and said that waste needed to be cleaned up and properly disposed
also. I also said that any oil spilled should be quickly scooped up and properly disposed. He said
they would scoop up the waste and properly dispose of it at a landfill.
I left the site at 12:23 pm.
Apparent violations observed during this inspection:
