Companies named as Respondents in violation-enforcement proceedings under Environmental Protection Act, alleging that companies transported hazardous-waste acid into Illinois, where they stored waste before disposing of it through injection into company's industrial wells in Sangamon and Christian Counties. challenged sufficiency of EPA's pleadings, but forfeited that argument by answering complaint and failing to raise timely objection. EPA and Pollution Control Board had jurisdiction, as injection did not constitute a Class II injection authorized by Oil and Gas Act or its regulations; and undisputed facts established that companies violated Act.(HOLDER WHITE and APPLETON, concurring.)
