Narrative
On April 23, 2008 [9:00 AM to 9:20 AM], this author (Robert J. Wagner) conducted an open
dump re-inspection of property owned by George R. Ford. The property is located
approximately 1 1/4 miles south of Illinois Route 9 on Smithfield Road (see attached site map).
History
This site was originally inspected on April 19, 1989, as an open dump because of a citizen
complaint. A Pre-Enforcement letter was sent to George R. Ford for open dumping violations.
These violations were subsequently resolved during a June 9, 1989 inspection. On June 17, 1991,
George R. Ford received an Administrative Warning Notice for open dumping at the property.
On July 17, 1991, George R. Ford adequately responded to the letter.
On September 18, 2007, an inspection took place at the Ford Property. On October 12, 2007, the
property owner, George R. Ford was sent an Administrative Citation Warning Notice (ACWN)
for the following violations: Section 9(a), 9(c), 21(a), 21(d)(1), 21(d)(2), 21(e), 21(p)(1)
21(p)(3), 21(P)(7), 55(a)(1), and 55(a)(2) of the Act and Section 812.201(a) of the Regulations.
Mr. Ford did not respond to the ACWN.
Inspection
This author arrived at the property at 9:00 AM. This author knocked on the door to the house
located on the property. The house was abandoned. Since the area in question was in clear site
from the road and there was no expectation of privacy this author proceeded with the inspection.
This author observed the charred remains of vinyl siding, processed wood fragments, tire beads,
and metal debris dumped in a burn pile with a fence around the area. Photographs 1, 2, 3, and 4
show the charred remains of vinyl siding, processed wood fragments, tire beads, and metal
debris. The size of the burn pile was approximately 5 feet long by 5 feet wide by 1 foot high (1
yd3). This author observed a new pile of waste material since the previous inspection. The
waste pile consisted of trees branches tree trunks, and the charred remains of vinyl siding. The
size of the new pile was approximately 10 feet long by 10 feet wide by 14 foot high (51 yd3).
This author departed the site at 9:50 AM.
George R. Ford is the property owner. This author spoke to George R. Ford via telephone.
According to George R. Ford, he was responsible for the open burning of the waste materials
observed in the April 23, 2008 inspection. Mr. Ford is a general contractor who travels the area
doing construction work. He on occasion brings back waste material generated from these job
sites and disposes of them by open burning. The second waste pile according to Mr. Ford was
generated from cleaning debris from around the property.
The following alleged violations were observed and indicated on the open dump inspection
checklist:
