NARRATIVE
On
Friday, May
8, 2009, I
(James Jones) investigated
citizen complaint
C-2009-049-P
on the
property
of Krumholz
Brothers
Landscaping
located at 2115
E. Wilkins Drive
in Medina
Township in
Peoria
County.
According
to the complainant,
Krumholz
Brothers
Landscaping
has taken
old landscaping
railroad
ties to its property
on Wilkins
Drive
near the
intersection of Old
Galena Road and
Cedar
Hills
Drive
near Caterpillar
Technical
Center,
dumped them, and was
now burning them.
The
fire
started
today
(05/08/09).
It is anticipated
to burn several
days. Krumholz
Brothers
Landscaping
burned
in a similar
scenario last
year. The Fire Department
went
to
the
site and
talked
to them,
but
the
Krumholz
ignored them.
I arrived
on the property
at 11:20
a.m.
I
observed
a large fire outside
the fenced area
which
enclosed
a large
metal building
on the property.
I also noticed
a gentleman
getting
out of a
parked
car inside
the fenced area.
I walked over
and introduced myself
and began
to
interview
the
gentlemen.
He told me
that his name
was Zac Hecht and
that he was an employee
of
Krumholz
Brothers.
I asked
Mr. Hecht did
Krumholz Brothers
Landscaping own
the
property
outside the fenced
area
and
did he know who
was responsible
for the large fire
that
was burning.
He said
he believed the
property belonged
to Krumholz
Brothers Landscaping
and
he
didn’t
know who
was
responsible
for the
fire.
I thanked
Mr. Hecht for
answering my
questions and I
told
him
that I was
going
to begin
my investigation
regarding
the
fire.
The dimensions
of the
pile
of materials
that were being open
burned were approximately
40feet
x 40 feet in
area.
The materials
that were
being
open burned
consisted of railroad
ties, landscape
waste (medium
tree limbs
and
brush),
and 4” PVC
sewer pipes (see photographs
#1, #8, #9, and
#14). In
addition,
two
mattresses
depicted in photographs
#2, #4,
#5,
#8,
and #15 were
open
dumped
near the fire
and
two black garbage
bags containing
grass clippings
on the north slope
of
a
large
dirt pile were
depicted in photograph
#16.
These materials were
apparently open dumped
on
the
property,
but they were
not open burned. Photographs
#19
and
#20 depict a
John Deere
excavator
being
operated
by Dave Krumholz
extinguishing
the fire
upon
Mr. Krumholz
request
on the property.
Following my
investigation,
which included walking
the site, making
visual observations,
and
photographing the
conditions
at the site, Mr. Hecht
gave me the
name and
telephone number
of
Dave Krumholz
and indicated
that Mr. Krumholz
wanted me to
call him before I left
the
property.
I called
Mr. Krumholz as
requested. I
discussed some of the
details
of the complaint
with him
and he
asked if I could
remain
on
site so that he could meet
with me. I agreed
to meet with him.
Mr.
Krumholz
arrived at the
site
at
approximately
12:20 p.m.
Mr.
Krumholz
and I discussed
property
ownership and the
complaint.
Mr. Krumholz said
that the
materials outside the
fenced
area of the
property were
one contiguous
property and the
property is
owned
by
both
him and his
brother, Richard
Krumholz.
The company
is not
a
Corporation
and they
do
business
as

The
property
was deeded
to
Richard
A. Krumholz
and
David
J. Krumholz on
March
6,
2006.
Regarding the complaint, Mr. Krumholz indicated
that customer waste
from contract
jobs
are
routinely hauled to Krumholz Brothers property
for waste storage
and accumulation.
When
adequate volumes of wastes are accumulated the
company hauls the
waste off-site for
proper
disposal.
According to Mr. Krumholz, his brother
Richard for some
unknown reason
set
fire to
the waste that had been accumulating on the property. I
asked Mr. Krumholz
how
many
times
he
recalled burning waste on the property,
during a May 12, 2009
telephone
conversation.
He
said at least 2 times, but not more than a dozen
times. It appears that
the Krumholz
Brothers
have had some inter-action with the Chillicothe Fire Department
in the
past
regarding
open
burning and should have known that open burning
is illegal in Illinois.
The
following apparent violations
were observed and checked
