ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
    December 19,1991
    IN THE MATTER OF:
    )
    R90-1(A)
    TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANT LIST
    )
    R90-l(B)
    (35 ILL. ADM. CODE 232
    )
    R90-l(C)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson)
    This matter is before the Board on Halogenated Solvent
    Industry Alliance’s (HSIA) motion to separate the consideration
    of enviionmenta’~l effect from this rulemaking and motion to
    reconsider the listing of tetrachioroethylene and
    trichloroethylene as toxic air contaminants filed December 2,
    1991; the response of the Illinois Chapter of the Sierra Club to
    HSIA’s motions; the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s
    motion for extension of time to answer HSIA’s motion regarding
    listing filed December 9,1991; the Illinois Steel Group’s motion
    for the Board to prepare an economic impact statement filed
    December 12, 1991; the Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group’s
    request for economic impact study filed December 11, 1991; arnl
    the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resource’s response
    to the HSIA motion filed December 16, 1991.
    As an initial matter, the Agency’s motion for additional
    time to file a response to HSIA’s request to reconsider the
    listing of tetrachioroethylene and trichioroethylene as toxic air
    contaminants is granted. The Agency is given, as requested,
    until December 20, 1991, to file its response.
    Regarding HSIA’s motion to sever the environmental effects
    considerations from this rulemaking, the Board points out to HSIA
    that it has already done so. Docket B has been previously
    reserved for consideration of environmental effects. Docket B
    was opened in the board’s second first notice opinion and order
    dated September 26, 1991. HSIA’s motion either ignores or
    miscomprehends this opinion and order. In any event, HSIA’s
    motion is ill-founded and is therefore denied.
    Finally regarding participants’ request that an EcIS be
    prepared in the R90-l(C) subdocket, the Board reserves its
    decision on this issue until a later date. The comment period
    regarding the advisability of an EcIS expired December 12, 1991.
    The Board’s decision deadline for this determination is January
    20, 1992.
    The participants are reminded to restrict their filings to
    the proper subdocket: R90-l(A) for the toxic air contaminants
    list, R90-l(B) for environmental effects consideration and R90-
    1(C) for reporting requirements for emission sources.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
