RECOMMENDATION

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Illinois EPA") hereby files its

Recommendation pursuant to Section 125.204

of the regulations of the Illinois Pollution

Control Board,

35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.204.

On December 28,2007, the Illinois EPA received a request from LaMoine Valley

Farms, LLC (log number TC-41-07, Exhibit A) for an Illinois EPA

recommendation regarding the tax certification of water pollution control

facilities pursuant to 35

Ill.

Adm. Code 125.204.

The applicant's address is:

LaMoine Valley Farms, LLC

3051 East County Road 1650

Colchester, Illinois 62326

The proposed water pollution control facilities in this request are located at

Section 13, T5N, R5W of 4th P.M. in Hancock County, at the above street

address and consist

of the following:

Livestock waste management facilities consisting

of one concrete pit (48

ft. x 48

ft. x 2 ft. deep) and the portion ofthe plastic and cast iron slotted

flooring over the manure pit in Building

# 1; 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. x 660 ft. x 10ft. deep) with ten

concrete pump out pits (each 4

ft. x 4 ft. x 10 ft. deep) and the portion of

the concrete slotted flooring over the manure pits in Building # 3; one

concrete pit (160 ft. x

440 ft. x 2 ft. deep) and the portion of the plastic and

THIS FILING SUBMITTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

ft. x 4 ft. x 10ft. deep) and the portion of the 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, and are further described in

Exhibit

Section 11-10 ofthe Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2006), defines

"pollution control facilities" as:

"any system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant

thereto or any portion

of any building or equipment, that is designed,

constructed, installed or operated for the primary purpose of: (a)

eliminating, preventing, or reducing air

or water pollution ... or (b)

treating, pretreating, modifYing or disposing of any potential solid, liquid

or gaseous pollutant which

if released without treatment, pretreatment

modification or disposal might be harmful, detrimental or offensive to

human, plant or animal life, or

to property."

Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, 35 ILCS

200/11-5.

Based on the infonnation in the application and the purpose ofthe facilities, it is

the lllinois

EPA's engineering judgment that the described facilities may be

considered "pollution control facilities," pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code

125.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing

water pollution, or as otherwise provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.200, and are

eligible for tax certification from the Board.

WHEREFORE, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board issue the

The Bureau of Water received a request on December 28,2007 from LaMoine Valley Farms, LLC for an Illinois

EPA 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:

LaMoine Valley Farms,

LLC

3051

East County Road 1650

Colchester,IL 62326

Section 13, T5N, R5W of 4th P.M. in Hancock 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 pit' (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. x 660 ft. x lOft.

deep) with ten concrete pump out pits (each 4 ft. x 4 ft. x lOft. deep) and the portion of the concrete slotted

flooring over the manure pits in Building

# 3; one concrete pit (160 ft. x 440 ft. x 2 ft. deep) and the portion

of the plastic and cast iron slotted flooring over the manure pit

Building # 4; one concrete pit (77 ft. x

660 ft. x 10 ft. deep) with ten concrete pump out pits (each 4 ft. x 4 ft. x 10 ft. deep) and the portion of the

concrete slotted flooring over the manure pits

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

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 I 25.200(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

2171782.3362.

Attached Sheet in Support of Application for Certification of Pollution Control Facility

For LaMoine VaHey LLC

Page 1 Section D of the form -

LaMoine VaHey 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 I

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 1

4 (from diagram below) have manure pits that drain into,

thru

underground

piping, buildings 2,3

5. This underground piping consists of8" 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 114 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 of the 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 ofthe 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.
