recommendation regarding the tax certification of water pollution control facilities pursuant to 35 II. Adm. Code
125.204.
We offer the following recommendation.
The water pollution control facilities in this request include the following:
Hilltop View, LLC
2071 E. Meadow Lark Lane
Rushville,
IL 62681
SW 114 of Section 16, T3N, RIW of the 4th P.M, in Schuyler County
Livestock waste management facilities consisting of one concrete pit (48
ft.
x 48
ft.
x 2
ft.
deep) and the
portion
of the plastic and cast iron slotted flooring over the manure pit in Building # I; one concrete pit (61
ft.
x 260
ft.
x 8
ft.
deep) with six concrete pump out pits (each 4
ft.
x 4
ft.
x 8
ft.
deep) and the portion of
the concrete slotted flooring over the manure pits in Building # 2; one concrete pit (77
ft.

ft.
x 10
ft.

ft.

ft.
x
\0 ft.

flooring
over the manure pits in Building # 3; one concrete pit (159

of the plastic and cast iron slotted flooring over the manure pit in Building # 4; one concrete pit (77
ft.

660

ft.
deep) with ten concrete pump out pits (each 4 ft. x 4
ft.
x 10 ft. deep) and the portion ofthe
concrete slotted flooring over the manure pits in Building # 5; and approximately 50
ft.
of 8 inch diameter
PVC manure transfer piping. These livestock waste management facilities are used to collect, transport,
and/or store livestock wastes prior to cropland application.
These facilities are further described in the enclosed applications and supporting documents.
Based
on the information included in this submittal, it is our engineering judgment that the above proposed facilities
may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35 lAC 125.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating,
preventing,
or reducing water pollution, or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax
certification from the Illinois Pollution Control Board.
The Bureau of Water therefore recommends that the Board
issue the requested tax certification for these facilities.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact James Allison at 217/782-3362.

Attached Sheet in Support of Application for Certification of Pollution Control Facility
For Hilltop View LLC
Page 1 Section D ofthe form -
Hilltop View LLC is a swine farm with 5 separate buildings.
Each
of these building has manure storage capacity in below ground level concrete pits.
Also integrated into the design is sPecially designed flooring material that separates the
animals from the manure holding area, yet allows the manure to pass
thru
the floor into
the holding area. The flooring in buildings 1
&
4 have a combination of slatted plastic
&
cast iron flooring that allows for manure to pass
thru
into the below ground storage pits.
Buildings 2, 3,
&
5 have slatted floor made of concrete, re-enforced with steel.
Buildings I
&
4 (from diagram below) have manure pits that drain into, thru underground
piping, buildings 2, 3
&
5. This underground piping consists of 8" PVC pipe; these lines
are approximately 50 feet long, the distance between buildings. Buildings 2, 3,
&
5 have
deep concrete (8'
&
10') pits below them that will retain approx 12 months worth of
manure produced by the animals at the farm. Manure is retained by these structures to
prevent it from leaving the farm and reaching surrounding water sources. The nearest
body of water is approx 1/4 of a mile from the building site. MUltiple times each year the
manure is pumped out of the pits and injected into surrounding farmland at
ergonomically appropriate rates. Each ofthe buildings with deep pits have multiple
pump out locations located on the longer sides of the buildings. These pump out
locations are approx 4 feet square and are made of concrete
&
steel. They are poured as
floors and walls of the building are constructed. This feature allows for portable pumps
to be lowered into the pits from the outside of building.
Collection efficiency of this design of pollution control facility is 100%.
On the accompanying diagram the buildings are identified as 1-5 with approx.
dimensions listed at the top of each. Arrows between buildings indicate the direction and
flow of manure from one building to another.
