    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    Section 17.5 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/17.5 (2006))
    requires the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance,” as defined at Section 7.2
    of the Act, to the National Primary Drinking Water regulations (NPDWRs) adopted by the
    United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). These regulations implement
    sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and 1445(a) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 42
    U.S.C. §§ 300g-1(b), 300g-3(c), 300g-6(a) & 300j-4(a) (2005). USEPA has codified its SDWA
    regulations at 40 C.F.R. 141 through 143.
    The Board reserved this docket for any SDWA amendments adopted by USEPA between
    July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. During that time period, USEPA did not amend 40
    C.F.R. 141, 142, or 143. Therefore, no action is necessary, and the Board dismisses this docket.
    For the foregoing reasons, the Board hereby dismisses this docket.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, John T. Therriault, Assistant Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that
    the Board adopted the above order on February 19, 2009, by a vote of 5-0.
