NARRATIVE
RE-INSPECTION
REPORT
DOCUMENT
The purpose
of
this
memorandum
is to serve
as
the
Narrative
Re-Inspection
Report
Document
of an inspection
conducted
at the
subject site on
September 3,
2008
from
approximately
12:30 a.m. until
1:00 p.m., by this
author.
The
re-inspection was
conducted
to
follow-up
the original
site inspection
conducted
on May 9, 2008,
also by
this
author.
That inspection
resulted in the finding
of multiple
apparent violations
that
were alleged in this
author’s Narrative
Inspection
Report Document
Memorandum
to the
Land
Division
File, dated
June 18, 2008. That
original
inspection
resulted in the issuance
of two Open Dump
Administrative
Citation
Warning
Notices
(ACWN5), issued
to
property owner
John Kraushaar,
Jr.,
and
site
operator Kyle Kraushaar,
John Kraushaar,
Jr.’s
son,
who apparently
is a contractor in
White Hall.
The ACWN’s were both
dated
June
19, 2008. Both
ACWN’s required
a written response
within 15 days
of the date
of
each notice. Both
ACWN’s required
site cleanup
by September 1, 2008,
and
both
ACWN’
s requircd the submittal
of
copies of
receipts documenting
the proper disposal
or
recycling of
the wastes. As
of the
date
of
this narrative, no response
or receipts had
been
received. As of the date
of the re-inspection,
no cleanup
of the site had been conducted.
In fact,
if anything, it
is suspected that
additional wastes had
been
added to
the
site
between the time of the
original
site
inspection and the re-inspection.
Additional
wastes,
beyond those observed
during
the
original site inspection,
were
observed
during
the re
inspection. However,
due
to the large
amount
of
dense vegetation, observation
was
limited.
Therefore,
the same amount
of
open
dumped wastes observed
during the
original inspection
is being
alleged
to
exist
at the site during
the re-inspection, i.e.,
881
Cu. yds.
of
wastes,
most
of which are demolition
wastes.
The Narrative
Inspection
Report
Document
Memorandum
to the Land
Division
File
dated
June 18, 2008
and following
the initial site inspection
of May
9,
2008,
provided
information of
open burning inspections
by
the
White Hall Police
Department.
That
information will not
be
repeated
herein.
The site that is the subject of this narrative is
located at 531
W. Bridgeport Street,
White
Hall, IL
62092,
which is where John Kraushaar,
Jr. lives. The Legal
and specific
location
information obtained from
review of the
Warranty Deed,
was also presented
in
the original Narrative, and therefore, that information
will also
not be repeated
herein.
No
telephone number was available for
John N. Kraushaar,
Jr. Kyle Kraushaar’s
address
is 225
East Sherman Street, White Hall,
IL 62094. His telephone
number is: 2
17/374-
6053.
Upon arrival at the site on the day of the re-inspection,
the weather was
overcast with
an
air
temperature was approximately
65°
F.
The winds were southeasterly
at
approximately
10 mph. Surface
soil conditions
were
mostly dry.
Upon arrival at the
site
on the day of the re-inspection,
I initially could
not see much
of
the
conditions
at
the site
due to the very tall weeds, some
of which were
over seven
(7)
feet tall.
However, closer examination
revealed the same wastes
previously
observed
on-
site. Some dumped roofing wastes appeared
to be recently dumped.
The large truck
near
the garage was
gone,
but
another large
truck, this one
a dump truck with old
temporary
license
plates, had a full load of roofing
shingles (as shown in
the Digital Photographs).
During the re-inspection, 14 photographs were
taken with a digital
camera. They
show
the
conditions
at the site on the
day of the inspection. From
the photographs
and the re
inspection, as well as from the original site
inspection sketch,
a partially computer
generated and partially hand-drawn sketch of the site
was developed
by this author.
It
shows the basic layout of the site, as well
as
the approximate
locations
and directions
of
the
Digital Photographs. The digital camera
assigns
a three-digit
number to each
photograph, i.e., 001, 002, etc. This is how the
photographs are referred
to in this
narrative and on the Digital Photograph pages. However,
real numbers
were
used on the
Site
Sketch, i.e.,
1, 2,
etc. Copies of the Digital Photographs and
the Site Sketch
accompany this narrative.
The Digital Photographs are described as follows:
Photo #
001 shows lumber and wood chunks, and
an empty drum.
Photo
#
002 shows
the
overgrown weed area where the open
dumped demolition
waste
is
located.

vegetation.

the
re-inspection,

of

(Act) and of the regulations,
Title
35, Illinois Administrative
