July 18, 1996PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS,Complainant,v.
MATERIAL SERVICE CORPORATION,
a Delaware corporation,Respondent.
Specifically, in this case, Material Service
Corporation agreed to pay $5,000.00 for failing to obtain both a state mining constructionpermit and a state mining operating permit.
(People of the State of Illinois v.
City of Metropolis
(July 18, 1996), PCB 96-38.) Although these landfill violations certainly are grave and thepenalty sufficient, I believe failure to obtain mining permits to be far more egregious andtherefore should be subject to a far stiffer penalty.
For these reasons, I respectfully dissent.
