Letter from the Chairman

 

 

There are two issues that I would like to bring to your attention this month. First,

on February 16, 2006, the Illinois Pollution Control Board adopted for final

notice amended general use water quality standards for radium. Radium is a

naturally occurring radioactive metal that is commonly found in Illinois

groundwater. The amendments contained in docket R 04-21, entitled Revisions

To Radium Water Quality Standards: Proposed New 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.307

and Amendments To 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.207 and 302.525, revise the radium

general use water quality standard, applying the standard to combined radium

226 and 228, as opposed to the current standard applicable only to radium 226.

The amendments also add a combined radium standard applicable to public and

food processing water supplies.

 

The Board sets the general use water quality standard of 3.75 picocuries per liter

(pCi/L) radium 226 and 228 as an annual average value rather than an

instantaneous maximum standard. This standard applies to all general use waters

of the State, including stream segments that receive discharges from Publicly

Owned Treatment Works, as well as the Lake Michigan Basin. The Board also adopts a separate 5.0 pCi/L

combined radium standard to Public and Food Processing Supply intakes as an instantaneous maximum standard.

This rulemaking does not affect Illinois’ drinking water standard of 5.0 pCi/L for combined radium. For more

information on this rulemaking, or any of the Board’s other rulemakings, visit the Board’s Website at

www.ipcb.state.il.us or contact the Clerk’s Office.

 

Second, given the number of rulemaking dockets currently open before the Board, I want to take the opportunity to

discuss “service lists” and “notice lists” as the lists are used in rulemaking proceedings. The Boards’ procedural

rules define “service list” as “the list of persons designated by the hearing officer or Clerk . . . upon whom

participants must serve motions, prefiled questions and prefiled testimony and any other documents that participants

file with the Clerk unless the hearing officer otherwise directs.” 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.202 (emphasis added). The

service list generally includes a rule’s proponent and other entities participating extensively by providing testimony

at hearing or offering substantial public comment. The “notice list” is “the list of persons in a regulatory proceeding

who will receive all Board opinions and orders and all hearing officer orders. Persons on a notice list do not receive

copies of motions, public comments, or testimony.” 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.202 (emphasis added). Entities on the

notice list generally have an interest in the rule but do not plan to offer a substantial comment or file testimony.

 

With the implementation of the COOL system, interested parties may now request to receive electronic notification

in the Board’s rulemaking dockets. Simply by providing your e-mail address, you receive electronic notice when a

rulemaking docket is updated. This notification includes the filing of documents that are not typically provided to

persons on the notice list. Through COOL, those documents may be viewed, downloaded, and printed as soon as

they are posted to the Board’s Web site. This may be a particularly useful tool for some persons and entities that

had traditionally placed themselves on the Board’s service lists. The Board is pleased to keep pace with IT

improvements and encourages all parties to take advantage of COOL, electronic filing, and e-notify. For more

information, you may consult either the Board’s Web site or John Therriault in our Clerk's office at (312) 814-3629.

 

To receive e-notification, go to the Board home page at www.ipcb.state.il.us and click on “Rulemakings Pending

Before the Board.” Click where indicated for more information, and you’ll see the button for adding your e-mail

address to the e-notify list.

Federal Update

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts Final Rule Under the Clean Air Act Making

Findings That Illinois Failed to Submit a Complete State Implementation Plan for Phase II of the NOX SIP

Call

On February 8, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 6347) the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted a

final rule making findings of failure to submit required State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Phase II of the nitrogen

oxides (NOx) SIP Call. USEPA’s final action stated that five states--Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, and

Virginia--failed to make complete SIP submittals required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). These States were all

required to submit SIP measures providing for reductions in the emissions of NOx, an ozone precursor.

The federal finding of failure is effective March 10, 2006. It starts a two-year time clock for USEPA to establish a

federal implementation plan for the effected area, if the states do not act before then to remedy their SIP submittals.

General questions concerning this notice should be addressed to Jan King, Office of Air Quality Planning and

Standards, Air Quality Strategies and Standards Division, C539-02, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; telephone

number (919) 541-5665; fax number (919) 541-0824; e-mail king.jan@epa.gov. Legal questions should be

addressed to Winifred Okoye, Office of General Counsel, (2344A), 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington,

DC 20460; telephone number: (202) 564-5446; e-mail okoye.winifred@epa.gov.

The Board notes that, in the most recent semi-annual regulatory agenda published in the

Illinois Register

, the

anticipates that it will soon propose to the Board rules responding to the

NO

x SIP Call using the CAA “fast-track” procedures at Section 28.5 of the Environmental Protection Act (415

ILCS 5/28.5 (2004)) to complete the Illinois SIP submittal.

 

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts Rules Under the Clean Water Act to Revise the

Compliance Dates for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Regulation and Effluent

Limitation Guidelines for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations

On February 10, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 6978) the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted a

rule to extend certain compliance dates in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting

requirements and Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for concentrated animal feeding operations

(CAFOs). The CAFO rule, issued on February 12, 2003 (at 68 Fed. Reg. 7175) requires a) by February 13, 2006,

facilities newly defined as CAFOs to obtain permits, and b) by April 13, 2006, all CAFOs to have nutrient

management plans (NMPs) developed and implemented. USEPA set a single new compliance date: July 31, 2007.

USEPA extended the rule to respond to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals’ order in Waterkeeper Alliance et al. v.

EPA, 399 F.3d 486 (2nd Cir. 2005). The final rule revises dates established in 2003 USEPA has extended the date

by which operations defined as CAFOs as of April 14, 2003, who were not defined as CAFOs prior to that date,

must seek NPDES permit coverage, from February 13, 2006, to July 31, 2007. USEPA also amended the date by

which operations that become defined as CAFOs after April 14, 2003, due to operational changes that would not

---

Environmental Register – February 2006

have made them a CAFO prior to April 14, 2003, and that are not new sources, must seek NPDES permit coverage,

from April 13, 2006, to July 31, 2007. Finally, USEPA extended the deadline by which CAFOs are required to

develop and implement NMPs, from December 31, 2006, to July 31, 2007. This rule revised all references to the

date by which NMPs must be developed and implemented currently in the 2003 CAFO rule.

This rule is effective as of February 10, 2006.

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts New Source Performance Standards Under the

Clean Air Act for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units, Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam

Generating Units, Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units

On February 27, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 9865) the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted

new source performance standards (NSPS) for electric utility steam generating units for which construction is

commenced after September 18, 1978; standards of performance for industrial-commercial-institutional steam

generating units; and standards of performance for small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units.

In this rulemaking, USEPA reviewed the emission standards for nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and

particulate matter (PM) contained in the new source performance standards (NSPS) for electric utility steam

generating units and industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units and proposed amendments to 40

CFR Part 60, subparts Da, Db, and Dc, on February 28, 2005 (70 Fed. Reg. 9705). The adopted amendments reflect

USEPA’s responses to issues raised by commenters, and promulgate the amended standards of performance.

The final rule amendments revise the existing standards for

a) PM emissions by reducing the numerical emission limits for both utility and industrial-commercial-

institutional steam generating units;

b) NOx emissions by reducing the numerical emission limits for utility steam generating units; and

c) SO2 emissions for both electric utility and industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units.

The SO2 numerical standard for electric utility steam generating units has been reduced, and the maximum percent

reduction requirement has been increased. An SO2 numerical standard has been added for units presently subject to

the NSPS and new industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units, and the maximum percent reduction

requirement for new units has been increased. Both utility and industrial steam generating units can either meet a

numerical limit or demonstrate a percent reduction. Additionally, USEPA made several technical clarifications and

compliance alternatives to the existing provisions of the current rules.

The final rule amendments are effective on February 27, 2006.

For further information contact Mr. Christian Fellner, Energy Strategies Group, Sector Policies and Programs

Division (C439-01), U.S. EPA, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711; telephone number: (919) 541-4003;

e-mail fellner.christian@epa.gov

If any amendments to the Illinois air rules become necessary, the Board would expect the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency to propose amendments using the Clean Air Act “fast-track” procedures at Section 28.5 of the

Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/28.5 (2004)).

Board Accepts IEPA Proposal for Hearing in NOx Trading Program: Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code

Part 217 (R06-22)

On February 2, 2006, the Board accepted for hearing a proposal in NOx Trading Program: Amendments to 35 Ill.

Adm. Code Part 217 (R06-22). The proposal, filed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) on

January 19, 2006, seeks to amend the Board’s regulations governing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions found at 35 Ill.

Adm. Code Part 217, Subparts A, T, U, and W.

The IEPA’s proposal reflects recent amendments made by the United States Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) to the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) concerning several test methods and procedures, and by the

Illinois General Assembly to Section 9.9 of the Act concerning the sale of NOx allowances and the repeal of the

stay provisions. The IEPA stated that it is proposing amendments intended to ensure that the NOx budgets for both

the Electrical Generating Units (EGU) and the non-EGUs are not reduced by low-emitters in a way that was not

anticipated at the time the rules were originally adopted by the Board. Finally, the proposal contains amendments

---

intended to clarify the dates and timing of allocations designed to simplify the administration of the NOx Trading

Program. The IEPA asserted in its statement of reasons that this proposal does not change the emission limits or

require new control devices on affected sources.

Copies of the Board’s opinion and order in R06-22 may be obtained by calling Dorothy Gunn at 312-814-3620, or

by downloading copies from the Board’s Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us. The text of the IEPA proposal and

statement of reasons is not included in the Board’s February 2, 2006 opinion and order, but may be downloaded

from the Board’s Web site.

The Board is in the process of scheduling hearings concerning this proposal.

Board Adopts IEPA Proposal for Hearing in Standards and Requirements for Potable Water Well Surveys

and for Community Relations Activities Performed in Conjunction With Agency Notices of Threats From

Contamination (35 Ill. Adm. Code 1505) (R06-23)

On February 2, 2006, the Board accepted a proposal for hearing in Standards and Requirements for Potable Water

Well Surveys and for Community Relations Activities Performed in Conjunction With Agency Notices of Threats

From Contamination (35 Ill. Adm. Code 1505) (R06-23). The proposal, filed by the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency (IEPA) on January 20, 2006, seeks to add a new Part 1505 to the Board’s regulations setting

standards and requirements for potable water well surveys and for community relations activities, where

appropriate, in response to impacts or threats from contamination. As explained in more detail below, because the

Board must adopt final rules at its September 1, 2006 meeting, the Board must adopt a first notice order no later

than April 20, 2006. The Board has scheduled one pre-first notice hearing for March 23, 2006, in Chicago, and a

second hearing for discussion of the first notice proposal adopted by the Board on May 23, 2006, in Springfield.

The IEPA proposal is required by Public Act 94-314, which, among other things, added a new Title VI-D (“Right-

To-Know”) to the Environmental Protection Act (Act). 415 ILCS 5/25d-1 - 25d-10 (as added by P.A. 94-314, eff.

July 25, 2005). New Section 25d-7 required the IEPA, within 180 days of the section’s effective date, to “evaluate

the Pollution Control Board’s rules and propose amendments to the rules as necessary to require potable water

supply well surveys and community relations activities where such surveys and activities are appropriate in

response to releases of contaminants that have impacted or may impact offsite potable water supply wells.”

Public Act 94-314 mandates the Board to “amend its rules as necessary to require potable water supply well surveys

and community relations activities where such surveys and activities are appropriate in response to releases of

contaminants that have impacted or that may impact offsite potable water supply wells.” 415 ILCS 5/25d-7 (

as

added by P.A. 94-314, eff. July 25, 2005

).

The Board must adopt rules within 240 days of the effective date of P.A. 94-314, or no later than September 17,

2006.

The proposed new Part 1505 is divided into three subparts. Subpart A contains general information pertinent to the

entire Part. Subpart B sets forth well survey procedures, as well as minimum standards for the performance and

documentation of surveys during site investigations. The well survey rules apply to response actions taken pursuant

to Board rules requiring that a release of contaminants be addressed. The IEPA emphasized that Subpart B does not

contain independent requirements to perform well surveys. Rather, when well surveys are required under the

applicable Board rules, Subpart B requires compliance with the Subpart B minimum standards and requirements for

those wells surveys.

Under Public Act 94-314, the IEPA must also provide notice of “effects or potential effects of soil and groundwater

contamination” to certain members of the public in specified circumstances. Contamination may include, for

example, a hazardous substance, pesticide, or petroleum. Subpart C of the rules sets forth two alternative levels of

community relations activities depending on the severity of the offsite impacts. Subpart C also establishes

requirements for document repositories if applicable, fact sheets and community relations plans, and implementing

community relations activities, compliance, and compliance monitoring.

In this rulemaking, the IEPA has proposed minimum standards and requirements for community relations activities.

The proposed rules would apply when the IEPA has authorized the responsible party to provide notice as part of

---

Environmental Register – February 2006

5

community relations activities approved by the IEPA. The stated purpose of these requirements is to fully inform

the public in a timely manner about offsite impacts or potential impacts from contamination and the responses to

those impacts.

The IEPA explains that the legislation as a whole involves the public's right to know about certain offsite effects or

potential effects of soil and groundwater contamination as set forth in the Act's new Title VI-D: Right-To-Know.

415 ILCS 5/25d-1 - 25d-10. IEPA’s proposal is based on an interpretation of Section 25d-7 as limited by Section

25d-3 (requiring IEPA to provide notice of contamination threats to certain members of the public in specified

instances). IEPA’s statement of reasons said the proposal is a “voluntary approach to community relations activities

and to keep the emphasis on the Agency notice obligations under Section 25d-3.” IEPA notes that it had only 180

days to develop a proposal, and that the approach taken in the proposal submitted to the Board “has been developed

just recently in response to its outreach efforts.” IEPA has had no meetings on this proposal and because IEPA “has

made this substantial and late change of direction to its proposal, there has not been sufficient time to meet

further...[IEPA] cannot at this time represent that there is any level of concurrence by interested parties on the

overall concepts guiding the proposal."

Under these circumstances, the Board found it advisable to schedule the March 28, 2006 pre-first notice hearing.

Following a short comment period, the Board expects to adopt a first notice order April 20, 2006. Another hearing

is set for May 23, 2006, in Springfield.

Copies of the Board’s opinion and order in R06-23 may be obtained by calling Dorothy Gunn at 312-814-3620, or

by downloading copies from the Board’s Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us. The text of the IEPA proposal and

statement of reasons is not included in the Board’s February 2, 2006 opinion and order, but may be downloaded

from the Board’s Web site.

Board Adopts Final Amendments in Revisions to Radium Water Quality Standards: Proposed New 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 302.307 and Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.207 and 302.525 (R04-21)

On February 16, 2006, the Board adopted a final opinion and order in Revisions to Radium Water Quality

Standards: Proposed New 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.307 and Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.207 and 302.525

(R04-21). The final amendments were filed with the Secretary of State’s Index department with a March 1, 2006

effective date, and will be published in the

Illinois Register

on March 17, 2006.

The Board will not repeat the extensive history of this docket here. The Board adopted its second notice order on

December 15, 2005. As is summarized in the Environmental Register No. 618, p. 5 (December 2005), the Board

made significant changes to the first notice proposal that was adopted by the Board on April 7, 2005 and published

in the Illinois Register on April 29, 2005 at 29 Ill. Reg. 5873. The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules

considered the rules at its January 18, 2006 meeting, and voted a certificate of no objection.

The Board’s February 16, 2006 final opinion and order amended the general use water quality standard for

combined radium 226 and 228. The amended standard applies to all general use waters of the State, including the

Lake Michigan Basin and stream segments that receive discharge from publicly owned treatment works (POTWs).

The Board set a standard of 3.75 pico curies per Liter (pCi/L) for combined radium 226 and 228, as an annual

average value, rather than as an instantaneous maximum standard. Therefore, while the concentration of radium

226 and 228 combined may be higher than 3.75 pCi/L at times due to environmental conditions, the Board

concluded that the water body will still meet the standard as long as the concentration averaged over the period of a

year remains at or below 3.75 pCi/L. Determining compliance in this way will provide relief to POTWs while more

precisely tailoring the standard to meet the Board’s goal of protecting riparian mammals.

Additionally, the Board adopted a 5pCi/L combined radium 226 and 228 standard for Public and Food Processing

Water Supplies as an instantaneous maximum standard for public and food processing water supply intakes. The

Board determined that the proposed water quality standard expressed as an annual average provides relief for the

majority of POTWs, while also protecting the most sensitive use of general use waters.

Finally, the Board also adopted a Public and Food Processing Water Supply standard of 5 pCi/L combined radium

226 and 228 to ensure that public water supplies meet the Federal drinking water maximum contaminant level for

radium.

Board Adopts Final Notice Opinion and Order in Proposed Amendments to Regulation of Petroleum

Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (35 Ill. Adm. Code 732); In the Matter of: Regulation of Petroleum

Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (Proposed new 35 Ill. Adm. Code 734) (R04-22/R04-23 A (cons.)).

On February 16, 2006, the Board adopted a final opinion and order in Proposed Amendments to Regulation of

Petroleum Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (35 Ill. Adm. Code 732); In the Matter of: Regulation of Petroleum

Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (Proposed New 35 Ill. Adm. Code 734) (R04-22/R04-23 A (cons.)). The Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) considered the Board’s December 1, 2005 second notice proposal at its

January 18, 2005 meeting, and voted a certificate of no objection along with a recommendation. The Board filed

the adopted rules with the Secretary of State’s Index department with a March 1, 2006 effective date. The final

rules will be published in the

Illinois Register

on March 17, 2006.

In its December 1, 2005 opinion and order, the Board split the original docket. In Docket A, the Board sent rules to

the JCAR for their second notice review. In Docket B, the Board proposes to give issues regarding “scope of

work”. (This is explained in more detail in

Environmental Register

No. 618, pp.2-4 (December 2005).)

In its February 16, 2006 Docket A order, the Board adopted some rules as final, while agreeing to give some issues

further consideration in response to the JCAR recommendation. The adopted amendments differ from the first

notice proposal in one major aspect. That difference is in the rule for handling of reimbursement of professional

consulting services, which the Board amended in response to public comment at second notice to allow for

reimbursement on a time and materials basis. In response to a recommendation from JCAR, the Board also stated in

the final opinion and order that it will continue to review issues associated with Section 732.606(ddd) and (eee) in

subdocket B. A hearing is scheduled in subdocket B for March 23, 2006 in Springfield. For a more complete

description of the changes made at second notice, and the Board’s decision to open subdocket B, see the December

issue of the

Environmental Register

(pg. 2)

The adopted amendments allow for reimbursement of handling charges for a subcontractor if the primary contractor

has a financial interest in the subcontractor, removed professional services from eligibility for bidding, added an

additional member - appointed by members of Professionals of Illinois for the Protection of the Environment (PIPE)

- to the LUST advisory committee, deleted the requirement that engineers or geologists maintain records to be

available for an IEPA audit (that requirement is now limited to the maintenance of records by the owner or

operator), and added a requirement for the Board to publish the results of the IEPA’s triennial review of

reimbursement rates in the Board’s publication, the

Environmental Register.

 

The adopted amendments set forth corrective action measures that must be taken in response to a leak and

procedures for seeking payment from the Underground Storage Tank Fund (UST Fund), and reflect changes from

P.A. 92-0554, effective June 24, 2002 and P.A. 92-0735, effective July 25, 2003, which allow a Licensed

Professional Geologist to certify certain information. The rules are designed to streamline the process for obtaining

payment from the UST Fund. The streamlining will be accomplished by specifying maximum amounts that will be

reimbursed for remediation activities.

Board Adopts Second Notice Opinion and Order in Setback Zone for City of Marquette Heights Community

Water Supply, New 35 Ill. Adm. Code 618 (R05-09)

On February 16, 2006, the Board adopted a second notice opinion and order in Setback Zone for City of Marquette

Heights Community Water Supply, New 35 Ill. Adm. Code 618 (R05-09). The proposal seeks to add a new Part

618 to establish an expanded setback zone of up to 1,000 feet to provide additional protection for the community

water supply (CWS) wells of the City of Marquette Heights, in Tazewell County. The Board did not receive any

comments on, or make any changes to, its first notice proposal, adopted November 17, 2005 and published in the

Illinois Register

on December 2, 2005 at 29 Ill. Reg. 19503. The Board has sent the rulemaking, pursuant to the

Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (5 ILCS 100/1-1

et seq.

(2004)), to the Joint Committee on Administrative

Rules (JCAR) for its review at the April 11, 2006 JCAR meeting.

This proposal is the first of its kind under Section 14.3 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/14.3

(2004)), which allows for the establishment of “maximum setback zones” to prevent contamination of particularly

vulnerable groundwater sources used by CWS. A setback zone restricts land use near the CWS well, providing a

buffer between the well and potential sources or routes of contamination.

After reviewing the proposal and public hearing record, the Board found that expanding the zone of wellhead

protection is justified, as Section 14.3(d) of the Act requires. The City of Marquette Heights adopted a resolution

on March 22, 2004, requesting that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) propose a rule to the

Board that would increase the setback zone around the Marquette Heights CWS wells. Marquette Heights has two

CWS wells, both of which are located outside of the city limits of Marquette Heights in North Pekin, Tazewell

County. The wells have an estimated average daily pumpage from the groundwater source of 240,000 gallons per

day, supplying approximately 3,200 persons directly. Marquette Heights’ water system has approximately 1,064

service connections within the corporate limits and another 56 service connections in an area of anticipated future

expansion east of the City. Based on various assessments, including groundwater flow and recharge area modeling,

the IEPA concluded that the current minimum setback zones did not adequately protect the Marquette Heights CWS

wells, and that the groundwater source is “highly vulnerable.”

In proposed Subpart A of Part 618, there are general provisions for maximum setback zones, including definitions.

Subpart A’s provisions will apply to all maximum setback zones established in Illinois through Board rulemaking.

Proposed Subpart B of Part 618 contains rules specific to the Marquette Heights CWS wells. Section 618.Appendix

A is a map that delineates the irregularly-shaped boundaries of the proposed maximum setback zone relative to local

land use plats. The distance from each wellhead to the proposed setback boundaries varies from approximately 600

to 1,000 feet. The appendix also lists identification numbers of parcels that are located wholly or partially within

the proposed maximum setback.

The proposed Subpart B rules also provide that: (1) certain activities within the setback are banned; and (2) other

activities within the setback are subject to management and control standards. “New potential primary sources” of

groundwater contamination are prohibited from locating wholly or partially within the Marquette Heights expanded

setback. Examples of potential primary sources can include a unit at a facility (1) used to treat, store, or dispose of

any hazardous or special waste not generated at the site, (2) used to dispose of municipal waste not generated at the

site, other than landscape waste and construction and demolition debris, (3) used to landfill, land treat, surface

impound or pile any hazardous or special waste that is generated on the site or at other sites owned, controlled or

operated by the same person, or (4) that stores or accumulates at any time more than 75,000 pounds above ground,

or more than 7,500 pounds below ground, of any hazardous substances.

Subpart B also specifies that the Board’s Part 615 or Part 616 management and control standards (35 Ill. Adm. Code

615 and 616) apply to those new or existing activities that are regulated by Part 615 or Part 616 and located wholly

or partially within the expanded Marquette Heights setback. These activities may include on-site landfills, on-site

land treatment units, on-site surface impoundments, on-site waste piles, underground storage tanks, pesticide

storage and handling units, fertilizer storage and handling units, road oil storage and handling units, and de-icing

agent storage and handling units. The proposed rules make clear, however, that agrichemical facilities that

affirmatively opt out of Part 615 or Part 616 are regulated instead under other rules. Part 615 (Existing Activities in

a Setback Zone or Regulated Recharge Area) and Part 616 (New Activities in a Setback Zone or Regulated

Recharge Area) contain groundwater monitoring, design, inspection, operating, closure, and post-closure

requirements that apply within setback zones, and so will apply automatically in the Marquette Heights maximum

setback zone on the effective date of this new Part.

Copies of the Board’s opinion and order in R05-9 may be obtained by calling Dorothy Gunn at 312-814-3620, or by

downloading copies from the Board’s Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us.

Provisional Variances

 

IEPA 06-08 City of Morrison v. IEPA

—On February 10, 2006, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

granted the City of Morrison a provisional variance from the daily maximum ammonia nitrogen limits of National

Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit IL0027006 for the city’s waste water treatment plant. The City

requested this relief to allow it to correct a mechanical failure on one of the plant’s trickling filters. The provision

variance is effect for the time period from February 3, 2006 to March 20, 2006.

 

Public Act 93-0152 (Senate Bill 222) amended Sections 35-37 of the Illinois Environmental Act (415 ILCS 5/5(b)

(2002)) so that provisional variances are issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). If the

IEPA grants a provisional variance, then the IEPA must file a copy of its written decision with the Board. The

Board must maintain copies of the provisional variances for public inspection. Copies of provisional variances can

be obtained by contacting the Clerk’s Office at (312) 814-3620, or by visiting the Board’s Website at

www.ipcb.state.il.us. If the IEPA denies a provisional variance request, then the applicant may initiate a

proceeding with the Board for a full variance.

RESTRICTED STATUS LIST

 

 

In order to comply with 35 Illinois Administrative Code Section 306.401, Illinois Pollution Control Board

Regulations, the Illinois EPA has prepared the following list of facilities which are on Restricted Status. Restricted

Status is defined as the Agency determination that a sewer or lift station has reached hydraulic capacity or that a

sewage treatment plant has reached design capacity, such that additional sewer connection permits may no longer be

issued without causing a violation of the Act or Regulations. Please note that the list is continually being revised to

reflect the current situation. Therefore, if you have any questions on the capability of a treatment facility or

transport system, please contact this Agency for a final determination. This listing reflects the status as of

December 30, 2005.

 

Facility names followed by an asterisk (*) indicates that construction is underway to ultimately alleviate problems,

which resulted in imposition of Restricted Status. Facilities followed by a double asterisk (**) are additions to the

list.
