    This
    inspection
    was
    made
    as
    a
    follow-up
    to
    a
    December
    27,
    2007
    inspection.
    The
    site
    is
    located
    at
    308
    E.
    Plum
    Street
    (dead
    end)
    in
    Benton,
    Illinois.
    The
    site
    was
    easily
    accessed
    by
    Plum
    Street.
    I
    knocked
    on
    Mr.
    Hammond’s
    front
    door
    but
    there
    was
    no
    answer.
    There
    were
    also
    no
    vehicles
    at
    the
    home.
    Three
    pictures
    were
    taken
    of
    the
    waste,
    which
    consisted
    of
    charred
    miscellaneous
    debris.
    Open
    burning
    had
    occurred
    at
    the
    site
    since
    the
    previous
    inspection.
    I
    arrived
    at
    the
    site
    and
    went
    directly
    to
    Mr.
    Hammond’s
    home.
    When
    there
    was
    no
    answer
    at
    the
    door
    and
    no
    vehicles
    noted
    in
    or
    around
    the
    drive
    I
    proceeded
    to
    the
    area
    of
    open
    dumping
    noted
    in
    the
    previous
    inspection.
    As
    I
    drove
    up
    to
    the
    area
    I
    noted
    a
    new
    bum
    pile
    measuring
    approximately
    10’
    X
    4
    X
    1’
    (picture
    001).
    The
    pile
    consisted
    of
    wire,
    rope,
    melted
    plastic
    containers,
    paper,
    wooden
    spindles
    from
    furniture,
    what
    appeared
    to
    be
    some
    type
    of
    felt
    paper
    or
    tar
    paper,
    miscellaneous
    debris,
    and
    at
    least
    two
    Weather
    Duty
    Lamps
    (picture
    001).
    The
    Weather
    Duty
    Lamps
    were
    identified
    from
    debris
    in
    photo
    0550055072—12272007-00

    which
    indicates
    that
    the
    open
    burning
    took
    place
    after
    the
    December
    27,
    2007
    inspection
    where
    Mr.
    Hammond
    was
    told
    not
