RECOMMENDATION OF THE ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

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 ("Board"), 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.204.

1. On November 18, 2019, the Illinois EPA received a request from Charles Leitz

(log number TC-141999, Exhibit A) for an Illinois EPA recommendation

regarding the tax certification of water pollution control facilities pursuant to 35

2.

Ill. Adm. Code 125.204.

The facility's address is: Charles Leitz 2380 E. 1100 N Rd. Milford, IL 60953

The proposed water pollution control facilities in this request are located in the SE

¼ of Section 2, T25N, R12W of the 2nd P.M. in Iroquois County, at the above

street address and consist of the following:

Livestock waste handling facilities consisting of one concrete manure pit (approximately 321 ft. x 102 ft. x 8 ft. deep), the concrete slatted portion of the floor over the manure pit that captures and contains waste generated in the barn above, ten pump out pits ( each approximately 6 ft. x 6 ft. x 8 ft.) to allow manure removal from the manure pit, and HDPE perimeter drainage tile (approximately 966 ft. x 4 in. diameter), around the footing of the manure pit to prevent flotation of the pit.

THIS FILING SUBMITTED ON RECYCLED PAPER


These livestock waste management facilities are used to collect, transport, and/or

store livestock waste prior to cropland application, and are further described in

Exhibit A.

3. Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/ 11-10 (2014), and Section

125.200(a) of the Board's regulations, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.200(a), define

"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: eliminating, preventing, or reducing air or water pollution . .. or 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.

4. In order to receive preferential tax treatment as pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/1 1-5

(2014), pollution control facilities must be certified as such by the Board, 35

ILCS 200/11-20 (2014) and 35 111. Adm. Code 125.200(a).

5. Upon receipt of a tax certification application, the Illinois EPA must file a

recommendation on the application with the Board, 35 Ill Adm. Code 125.204(a).

6. Based on the information in the application and the purpose of the facility, it is the

Illinois 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

requested tax certification.

Charles Leitz - Milford Recommendation of Tax Certification Log# TC-141999 Property Index# 33-02-400-002

The Bureau of Water received a request on November 18, 2019 from Charles Leitz for an Illinois EPA recommendation regarding the tax certification of water pollution control facilities pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.204. We offer the following recommendation.

The water pollution control facilities in this request include the following:

Charles Leitz 2380 E. 1100 N. Rd. Milford, IL 60953

SE¼ of Section 2, T25N, R12W of the 2nd PM in Iroquois County

The livestock waste handling facilities consisting of one ( 1) concrete manure pit ( approximately 321 ft. x 102 ft. x 8 ft.), the concrete slatted portion of the floor over the manure pit that capture and contain waste generated in the barn above, ten (10) pumpout pits (approximately 6 ft. x 6 ft. x 8 ft. each) to allow manure removal from the manure pit, and HDPE perimeter drainage tiles (approximately 966 ft. x 4 in.) located around the footing of the manure pit to prevent flotation of the pit. The facility collects, transports and stores livestock waste prior to cropland application.

The facility is further described in the enclosed applications and supporting documents.

Based on the infonnation included in this submittal, it is our engineering judgment that the above proposed facilities may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35 IAC 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 Wei Han at 217/782-0610.
