IN THE MATTER OF:

UIC UPDATE, USEPA REGULATIONS 

)

(Identical in Substance Rules)

(1—l--90 THROUGH 8—31—90)

PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT

PROPOSED ORDER OF THE BOARD (By J. Anderson):

Pursuant to Sections 13(c) and 22.4(a) of the Environmental

Protection Act (Act), the Board proposes amendments to the

Underground Injection Control (UIC) regulations.

Both Sections 13(c) and 22.4(a) provide for quick adoption

of regulations which are “identical in substance” to federal

regulations and that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) shall not apply. Because this

rulemaking is not subject to Section 5 of the APA, it is not

subject to first notice or to second notice review by the Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The federal UIC

regulations are found at 40 CFR 144, 146 and 148. This

rulemaking updates UIC rules to correspond with federal

amendments more fully outlined in the accompanying Opinion.

This Order is supported by an Opinion adopted on the same

day. The Board will receive public comment on the proposal for a

period of 45 days following its publication in the Illinois

Register. The complete text of the proposed rules follows.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board h reby certify th  he above Order was adopted on the

SUBPART A:

GENERAL

Section 738.101  

Purpose Scope and Applicability

a)  This Part identifies hazardous wastes that are

restricted from disposal into Class I hazardous waste

injection wells and defines those circumstances under

which a waste, otherwise prohibited from injection, may

116—180

3

be injected.

b)  The requirements of this Part apply to owners or

operators of Class I hazardous waste injection wells

used to inject hazardous waste.

c)  Wastes otherwise prohibited from injection may continue

to be injected:

1)  If an extension from the effective date of a

prohibition has been granted pursuant to Section

738.104; or

2)  If an adjusted standard has been granted in

response to a petition filed under Section

738.120; or

3)  If the waste is generated by a conditionally

exempt small quantity generator, as defined in 35

Ill. Adm. Code 721.105.

~j Wastes that are hazardous only because they exhibit a

hazardous characteristic, and which are not otherwise

prohibited from injection under this Part, are not

prohibited from injection if the wastes:

Are disposed into a nonhazardous or hazardous

waste in-jection well defined under 35 Ill. Adm.

Code 730.106(a); and

.~j. Do not exhibit any prohibited characteristic of

hazardous waste identified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code

721.Subpart C at the point of in-iection.
