MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
NOW COMES the Complainant, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Illinois
EPA”), by and through its attorney, Special Assistant Attorney General Michelle M. Ryan, pursuant
to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.520 and 101.902, and respectfully states as follows:
(1)
On June 17, 2008, Illinois EPA issued an Administrative Citation to Respondent,
Joseph Combs, based on an inspection conducted on April 22, 2008.
(2)
Attached to this motion is a copy of the Certified Mail receipt indicating that
Respondent was served and signed for the Administrative Citation. The date of service is not
evident from the card, and the information is not available on the U.S. Postal Service website.
However, the card itself was postmarked “June 19, 2008” for its return to Illinois EPA. This
indicates that the actual date of service could have been no later than June 19, 2008, and therefore
Respondent was timely served.
(3)
This Administrative Citation was uncontested.
(4)
On September 16, 2008, the Board issued a final order, dismissing this case for the
delay in filing proof of service. This order was received by Illinois EPA on September 18, 2008.
Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, October 22, 2008
(5)
Illinois EPA sincerely regrets any inconvenience to the Board caused by the delay in
filing proof of service in this case. Various issues internal to Illinois EPA contributed to the timing
of filing of this information, and measures have been taken to avoid this problem in the future.
(6)
Pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.406, as a non-contested Administrative Citation,
the Board should issue an order assessing penalties consistent with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.500(a)(1).
WHEREFORE, Illinois EPA requests that the Board reconsider its September 16, 2008 order
based on the new evidence herein contained, and issue a default order against Respondent Joseph
Combs.

PROTECTION AGENCY,
Complainant
