Description
The Air Pollution Control Board of the State of Illinois, the appellee, and hereafter called the Board, issued a cease and desist order against the appellant, Bud Brown. The circuit court of Madison County affirmed the Board's order, and the appellant has proceeded directly to this court contending inter alia that the Board's proceedings and order denied him due process of law and present a constitutional question for this court. Bud Brown owns and operates a refuse dump near East St. Louis, Illinois, and allegedly does open burning, that is, burns materials so that the products of the combustion are emitted directly into surface air and are not conducted through a stack or chimney. On April 2, 1965, the Board served written notice on Brown that a complaint had been filed against him charging that he was operating a refuse dump in a manner which caused air pollution in violation of section 3 of the Illinois Air Pollution Control Act. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1963, chap. 111 1/2, par. 240.3.) Brown was ordered to appear and answer the charges of the complaint at a hearing to be held May 5, 1965, in East St. Louis.
