ILLINOIS EPA ISSUES DRAFT DRINKING WATER ADVISORY FOR MTBE CONTAMINATION

The Illinois EPA Office of Chemical Safety has issued a draft Notice of Health Advisory pursuant to the Illinois groundwater

quality regulations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 620) on June 9, 1994. The Office of Chemical Safety stated that it was issing the draft

advisory for public comment because routine monitoring of public water supplies conducted by the Agency's Division of Public

Water Supplies detected at least two supplies in which the contaminant was present. The Agency stated that it would accept

public comments on the draft for 30 days, until August 22, 1994, then amend the advisory if necessary before issuing it in final

form.

The draft advisory appears in this issue. Please direct inquiries to the IEPA Office of Chemical Safety, at 217-785-0830.

PRIOR LANDOWNER AGREES TO PAY CORRECTIVE ACTION COSTS, PCB 92-80

On June 2, 1994, in a case previously reported in the

Environmental Register

, a prior landowner has agreed to pay

$117,500.00 to the current owner of a contaminated parcel as reimbursement for corrective action costs incurred by the current

owner, in

Lake County Forest Preserve Dist. v. Ostro

(June 2, 1994), PCB 92-80. The Board accepted the parties' stipulation

and settlement agreement, thus ending this citizens' enforcement action filed by the current owner against the prior owner for

corrective action undertaken with regard to contamination found at the site.

In the interim decision of March 31, 1994, the Board confronted the issue of a person found to have violated the Act

recompensing a landowner for response costs. (

See issue 481, Apr., 1994.

) The Board ordered a prior landowner who caused

contamination of the property to investigate the extent of contamination, remediate any remaining contamination, and reimburse

the present landowner for the costs it incurred in removing contaminated debris and soils from the land. The parties filed the

stipulation and settlement agreement in response to the interim order.

RULEMAKING UPDATE

MAKING UPDATE

PM

10

CONTINGENCY MEASURE AMENDMENTS ADOPTED,

R93-30

On June 23, 1994, the Board adopted amendments to the PM

10

regulations. The amendments establish contingency rules for

additional reductions in PM

10

emissions in the areas of the state

designated as moderate nonattainment by U.S. EPA, in the event

U.S. EPA finds that the area has failed to achieve compliance by

December 31, 1994. Those areas are McCook and Lake Calumet

Townships in Cook County, Granite City in Madison County, and a

portion of Oglesby Township in LaSalle County.

The Illinois EPA (Agency) filed the new Clean Air Act (CAA) rule-

making proposal for amendments on December 30, 1993 pursuant

to the "fast-track" rulemaking provisions of Section 28.5 of the

Environmental Protection Act. On January 6, 1994, the Board

proposed the amendments for First Notice publication in the

Illinois

Register

without review of their merits, as required by the statute.

(

See issues 478, Jan., 1994 & 479, Feb., 1994.

) Section 28.5

required the Board to proceed within set time-frames toward the

adoption of the proposed amendments.

The Board held a public hearing on the Agency's proposal on

February 22, 1994. Hearings originally scheduled for March 22 and

April 5, 1994 were cancelled because the level of public interest and

participation so warranted. The Board proposed the parent rules for

Second Notice review by the Joint Committee on Administrative

Rules on May 5, 1994. (

See issue 483, June, 1994.

) The

amendments will become effective upon filing with the Secretary of

State. Direct questions to Elizabeth S. Harvey, at 312-814-6921.

Please refer to docket R93-30.

LANDSCAPE WASTE COMPOST FACILITIES RULES

PROPOSED FOR FIRST NOTICE, R93-29

On June 30, 1994, the Board proposed rules that would regulate

landscape waste management facilities in Illinois. The proposed

would have the Board establish performance standards for

landscape compost facilities and testing procedures and standards

for end-product compost derived from landscape waste and offered

for sale or use in Illinois. The Board formally accepted the proposal

on January 20, 1994, which was filed December 30, 1993 by the

Agency. (

See issue 479, Feb., 1994.

)

This proceeding is one of three mandated by the Act. Section

22.33 requires that the Agency proposed standards for composting

landscape wastes on or before January 1, 1994, and that the Board

adopt such standards by December 1, 1994. Sections 22.34 and

22.35 set forth similar mandates relating to composting organic

waste and mixed municipal waste, and Section 22.35. The R93-29

PART II 15% ROP PLAN FOR VOM EMISSIONS PROPOSED

FOR FIRST NOTICE, R94-15

On June 2, 1994, the Board proposed a new Clean Air Act (CAA)

rulemaking for First Notice publication in the

Illinois Register

. The

proposed amendments are the second installment in a series of

proposals that would amend the volatile organic material (VOM)

emissions regulations to continue to incorporate a plan for a 15

percent reduction in 1990 VOM emissions levels in the Chicago and

Metro-East St. Louis areas (15% ROP plan). The Part II proposal

contemplates extending VOM emissions control measures to the

loading of marine vessels and deletion of the exemption for barge

loading from the regulations applicable to "Miscellaneous Fabricated

Product Manufacturing Processes", "Miscellaneous Formulated

Manufacturing Processes", "Miscellaneous Organic Chemical

Manufacturing Processes", and "Other Emissions Units" source

categories.

The Agency filed this CAA rulemaking proposal with the Board on

May 26, 1994. The Agency represented in the filing that section

182(b)(1) of the federal Clean Air Act mandates these reductions in

all nonattainment areas for ozone by 1996. The Chicago and

Metro-East areas are rated by U.S. EPA as "severe" and

"moderate" nonattainment, respectively. The Agency states that the

state must reduce the VOM emissions by 159 tons per day (tpd) in

the Chicago area and by 36 tpd in the Metro-East area. The

Agency stated that this proposal would constitute Part II of a

broader 15% ROP plan. This is the second 15% ROP plan filing,

and the Agency contemplates filing proposals for additional parts of

the overall ROP plan in the future, in order to achieve the federal

reductions requirements. (

See issues 482, May, 1994, and 483,

June, 1994.

)

This rulemaking was filed pursuant to the "fast-track" rulemaking

provisions of Section 28.5 of the Environmental Protection Act. As

previously reported for earlier-filed CAA proceedings, (

see issues

461, Dec. 2, 1992; 462, Dec. 16, 1992; 465, Feb. 24, 1993; 467,

Mar. 24, 1993; 468, Apr. 7, 1993; 478, Jan., 1994; 482, May, 1994

& 483, June, 1994

), Section 28.5 requires the Board to proceed

within set time-frames toward the adoption of the proposed

amendments. The Board lacks any discretion under the statute to

adjust these time-frames under any circumstances.

The statute requires the Board to schedule three hearing dates in

this matter, each for a prescribed purpose. The first day of hearing

is reserved for presentations by the Agency and questions of

Agency witnesses. The second scheduled day of hearing, if it

occurs, is reserved for presentations by affected entities and all

other interested persons. The third scheduled day of hearing, if it

occurs, is reserved for any Agency response and responses of

other parties. The hearings will be continued from day to day, as

necessary, until all business is completed. However, the second

and third hearing dates are subject to cancellation if the level of

public interest and participation so warrant. The Board has

scheduled hearings to occur in the Department of Transportation

Classroom, 1100 East Port Plaza Drive, Collinsville, as follows:

11:00 a.m., Tuesday, July 12, 1994

11:00 a.m., Tuesday, August 9, 1994

11:00 a.m., Tuesday, August 23, 1994

Direct questions to Marie E. Tipsord, at 312-814-4925 or 618-498-

9803. Please refer to docket R94-15.

(Editor's Note: This is the second 15 % ROP plan proposal filed

with the Board. An article on the first, the Part I proposal, docketed

as R94-12, appears in issue 483, June, 1994. An article on the

third, the Part III proposal, docketed as R94-16, appears below.)

PART III 15% ROP PLAN FOR VOM EMISSIONS FILED,

PROPOSED FOR FIRST NOTICE, R94-16

On June 15, 1994, the Agency filed a new Clean Air Act (CAA)

rulemaking proposal. On June 23, 1994, the Board proposed the

amendments of new proposal for First Notice publication in the

Illinois Register

. The proposed amendments are the third

installment in a series of proposals that would amend the volatile

organic material (VOM) emissions regulations to continue to

incorporate a plan for a 15 percent reduction in 1990 VOM

emissions levels in the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis areas

(15% ROP plan).

The Statement of Reasons states that the Part III proposal

contemplates making the standards of Parts 218 and 219, Subpart

B, "Organic Emissions from Storage and Loading Operations", and

Subpart V, "Total Resource Effectiveness" (TRE), more stringent.

The proposed rules would add the federal Control Technology

Guidelines (CTG) and Alternative Control Technology (ACT)

recommended controls for volatile organic liquids (VOLs) and

volatile petroleum liquids (VPLs). The Agency anticipates that the

TRE amendments will reduce VOM emissions by 4.05 tons per day

(tpd) in the metropolitan Chicago area by 1996 and by an additional

1.58 tpd by 1999. The VOL/VPL amendments are anticipated to

reduce the VOM emissions by 2.18 tpd in the Chicago area. The

Agency expects no reductions in the Metro-East area.

The Agency represented in filing the proposal that section

182(b)(1) of the federal Clean Air Act mandates these reductions in

all nonattainment areas for ozone by 1996. The Chicago and

Metro-East areas are rated by U.S. EPA as "severe" and

"moderate" nonattainment, respectively. The Agency states that

Illinois must reduce the VOM emissions by 250 tons per day (tpd) in

the Chicago area and by 27 tpd in the Metro-East area. The

Agency stated that this proposal would constitute Part III of a

broader 15% ROP plan. This is the third 15% ROP plan filing, and

the Agency contemplates filing proposals for additional parts of the

overall ROP plan in the future, in order to achieve the federal

reductions requirements. (

See issues 482, May, 1994 & 483, June,

1994.

PROCEDURAL RULES FOR APPEALS FROM STATE FIRE

MARSHALL DETERMINATIONS PROPOSED FOR FIRST

NOTICE, R94-11

On June 30, 1994, the Board proposed procedural rules for

appeals from determinations of the Office of the State Fire Marshall

(OSFM). Under recent amendments to the Environmental

Protection Act, in P.A. 88-496, effective September 13, 1993 (

see

issue 475, Oct. 6, 1993.

), the OSFM is charged with making two

new determinations in the course of remedial action relating to

leaking underground petroleum storage tanks. The OSFM now

makes the eligibility and deductibility determinations formerly made

by the Agency. The Board is charged with hearing the owner or

operator's appeals of those OSFM determinations. Although the

Board has always heard those appeals when the determinations

were made by the Agency, these are the first appeals of OSFM

determinations that the Board has ever heard.

The proposed rules set forth the information that a petitioner must

include in its petition for review. Among the proposed provisions

unique to OSFM appeals is the scheduling of hearings only in

Chicago and Springfield, unless the petitioner sets forth sufficient

reasons in its petition for holding it elsewhere. This will avoid the

parties travelling throughout the state. It will further allow scheduling

multiple hearings on a single day. Other rules relate to cancelling

hearings, staying the proceedings, and motions for summary

judgment. Other aspects of the proposed rules either codify existing

Board practices or reference existing segments of the procedural

rules.

The Board will schedule one public hearing and accept public

comments until the statutory minimum period 45 days has expired

after a Notice of Proposed Rules appears in the

Illinois Register

.

Direct questions to the hearing officer, Deborah Frank, at 217-356-

5275. Please refer to docket R94-11.

SITE-SPECIFIC EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS FOR AMEROCK

CORP. ADOPTED, R87-33

On June 23, 1994, the Board adopted a site-specific rule that

would apply to the Rockford facility of Amerock Corporation. The

rule sets alternative chromium (total and hexavalent), copper, zinc,

cyanide, and total suspended solids limitations on the petitioner's

stormwater discharges to Kent Creek, in Winnebago County. It will

lapse by its own terms after December 31, 2000.

Amerock filed a petition for a site-specific rule on August 24,

1987. The Board conducted a public hearing on the merits of the

proposal on January 25, 1988. The Department of Energy and

Natural Resources submitted an economic impact study (EcIS) on

November 19, 1990, and the Board held a public hearing on the

EcIS on July 18, 1991. The Board proposed a rule for First Notice

publication in the

Illinois Register

on February 3, 1994. After the

expiration of the statutory 45-day public comment period, the Board

proposed the rule for Second Notice review by the Joint Committee

on Administrative Rules on May 5, 1994. (

See issue 483, June,

1994.

) As soon as the Board received a Certificate of No Objection

from JCAR, it adopted the site-specific regulation. Direct questions

to Elizabeth S. Harvey, at 312-814-6921. Please refer to docket

R87-33.

AMENDMENTS TO GROUNDWATER QUALITY STANDARDS

PROPOSED FOR SECOND NOTICE, R93-27

On June 2, 1994, the Board proposed amendments to the

groundwater quality standards for Second Notice review by the Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules. The proposed amendments

would revise the Illinois groundwater quality standards of Part 620 to

include additional contaminants. These contaminants are chemical

species for which the U.S. EPA has adopted maximum contaminant

levels for the purposes of the Safe Drinking Water Act regulations

(found at 40 CFR 141 and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611). The proposed

amendments would add limitations for three metals and fourteen

organic chemical contaminants to the lists of contaminants in Class I

and Class II groundwaters.

The Illinois EPA (Agency) filed a petition on October 18, 1993

seeking the amendments. The Board held public hearings on

February 8 and 23, 1994, in Springfield, and February 10, 1994, in

Chicago. On March 17, 1994, the Board proposed amendments to

the groundwater quality standards for First Notice publication in the

Illinois Register

. (

See issue 481, Apr., 1994.

) The Board will be

free to adopt amendments based on the proposal when it has

received a Certificate of No Objection from JCAR or 45 days after

June 9, 1994, the date JCAR received the Second Notice package

from the Board. Direct questions to Michelle C. Dresdow, at 815-

753-0947. (Please refer to docket R93-27.)

AMENDMENTS PROPOSED TO MARATHON OIL COMPANY

SITE-SPECIFIC RULE PROPOSED FOR SECOND NOTICE, R91-

23

On June 23, 1994, the Board proposed site-specific amendments

to the water pollution control regulations for Second Notice review

by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. Those proposed

amendments would change the existing site-specific limitations on

Marathon Oil Company's discharges to an unnamed tributary to

Sugar Creek (in the Wabash River basin). The effluent limitation

for chlorides would increase from 700 mg/l to 1000 mg/l, and the

stream water quality standard for chlorides would increase from 550

mg/l to 750 mg/l. The effluent limitation and the stream water

quality standard for total dissolved solids would remain unchanged

by the proposed amendments.

The Board proposed the amendments for First Notice publication

in the

Illinois Register

on October 7, 1993. (

See issue 476, Nov. 3,

1993.

) The Board will be free to adopt amendments based on the

present Second Notice proposed rules when it receives a Certificate

of No Objection from JCAR or 45 days after JCAR received the

Second Notice package from the Board. Direct questions to

Michelle C. Dresdow, at 815-753-0947. Please refer to docket R91-

SECOND NOTICE PROPOSED FOR STEEL AND FOUNDRY

LANDFILL AMENDMENTS, R90-26(B)

On June 23, 1994, the Board proposed certain amendments to

the landfill regulations for Second Notice review by the Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The rulemaking,

subdocket B of the R90-26 steel and foundry waste landfill

amendments, would augment amendments proposed in the parent

docket for First Notice on September 23 and December 2, 1993.

The parent rulemaking, now docketed as R90-26(A), would

establish a set of landfill regulations specific to certain wastes

generated by the steel and foundry industries. (

See issues 475,

Oct. 6, 1993; 478, Jan. 1, 1994; 481, Apr., 1994 & 482, May, 1994.

)

The proponents of the amendments are members of the industries

that generate the wastes at issue.

The subdocket B proposed amendments added a new provision

to the proposed rules relating to facility location. This new provision

actually constitutes a sibling proceeding that will proceed

independently for the purposes of

Illinois Register

publication and

JCAR review. The Board opened subdocket B in response to

requests by the Illinois Steel Group and the Illinois Cast Metal

Association, the proponents of the steel and foundry waste landfill

amendments. On March 31, 1994, the Board proposed the

subdocket B amendments for First Notice publication in the

Illinois

Register

.

After receiving an amended proposal for rulemaking on

September 23, 1993, the Board proposed the parent subdocket A

amendments for a second First Notice publication in the

Illinois

Register

without substantive review. (

Issue 475, Oct. 6, 1993.

) The

Board inserted terms in the text of the proposed amendments for

later definition, believing that addition of the definitions would be

necessary for understanding and implementing the proposed

amendments, if adopted. On December 2, 1993, in response to

indications by JCAR staff that it was possible that two related

segments of the regulations were incomplete, the Board proposed

corrections to the second First Notice. (

Issue 478, Jan., 1994.

) On

April 21, 1994, the Board proposed the parent amendments to the

Illinois landfill regulations for Second Notice review by the Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR).

The Board will be free to adopt amendments based on the

present Second Notice proposed rules when it receives a Certificate

of No Objection from JCAR or 45 days after JCAR received the

Second Notice package from the Board. Direct questions to

Kathleen M. Crowley, at 312-814-6929. Please refer to docket R90-

26.

BOARD ADOPTS HAZARDOUS WASTE AMENDMENTS, R94-7

On June 23, 1994, the Board adopted certain amendments to the

Illinois RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations under docket

number R94-7. The amendments would incorporate the changes

made by U.S. EPA during the period of July 1 through December

31, 1993. (

See issue 482, May, 1994.

)

During the update period involved in R94-7, U.S. EPA basically

amended certain methods relating to determination of emissions

from boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste as a

fuel and to the determination of hazardous waste. U.S. EPA also

stayed the health-based criteria that formerly applied to determine

whether burning hazardous waste in a Bevill device (such as a kiln,

smelter, or boiler) was exempted from hazardous waste regulation.

U.S. EPA will apply the land disposal restriction limitations for F039

waste as the criteria for the exemption during the indefinite term of

the stay. The Board's amendments incorporate all these federal

revisions into the Illinois regulations. The Board also used the

opportunity of R94-7 to make a number of corrective amendments

to the hazardous waste rules. These include primarily changes in

punctuation and grammar, but also a small number of corrections

with a substantive impact.

The Board will file the amendments with the Secretary of State,

and they will become effective, about 30 days after the June 23

adoption. Direct questions to Michael J. McCambridge, at 312-814-

6924. Please refer to docket R94-7.

RCRA SUBTITLE D UPDATE DOCKET DISMISSED, R94-6

The Board dismissed the latest RCRA Subtitle D update docket

on June 2, 1994. The docket included U.S. EPA amendments to

the federal RCRA Subtitle D municipal solid waste landfill

regulations that occurred in the period July 1 through December 31,

1993. During that period U.S. EPA amended its regulations on

October 1 and 14, 1993 to revise certain compliance deadlines for

smaller landfills and landfills deemed necessary by the state to

accept flood-related wastes. Since the Board had already

incorporated those provisions into the original Subtitle D landfill

rules, in R93-10, it dismissed the update docket because no further

amendments were necessary. (

See issue 481, Jan., 1994; see

also issue 482, May, 1994.

APPELLATE UPDATE

APPELLATE UPDATE

FIRST DISTRICT REVERSES PENALTY IMPOSED BY BOARD

AS EXCESSIVE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES

In an opinion dated June 20, 1994, the First District appellate

court vacated a Board order assessing a $9,000.00 penalty for

violations of the Environmental Protection Act. The court held that

the penalty was excessive under the circumstances, in

Park

Crematory, Inc. v. PCB

(1st Dist. June 20, 1994), No. 1-92-2729.

In

People v. Park Crematory, Inc.

(July 9, 1992), No. PCB 91-

193, among other violations, the Board found that the respondent

had constructed and operated an air pollution source without a

required permit. In 1982, the Agency inspected the respondent's

facility and noted that respondent was operating one crematory

without a permit. The respondent obtained an operating permit,

which it renewed in 1983, 1985, and 1987. The respondent

constructed and began operating a second crematory furnace in

1982. The Agency again inspected the respondent's facility in 1990

and noted the second furnace not indicated in the permit. The

respondent filed a permit application and performed other steps

indicated by the Agency to come into compliance before the Agency

would issue a permit covering the second furnace. The Agency

issued an operating permit for that unit late in 1990.

The Agency issued an administrative warning letter to the

respondent in 1982, between the time of the first inspection and the

issuance of the 1982 permit. It issued another warning letter in

1990, again in the time between the inspection and when the permit

for the second permit issued. The Agency sent a letter early in

1991, informing it that the Agency had referred the matter to the

Attorney General for enforcement. The Attorney General

subsequently filed an enforcement action with the Board, seeking

the maximum penalties allowed for the violations alleged. The

respondent challenged the allegations, and it argued before the

Board,

inter alia

, that even if it had violated the Act, no penalty was

warranted. The respondent pointed out that no air pollution had

resulted, that it had cooperated with the Agency during the course

of the inspections, and that it promptly sought and achieved

compliance when the Agency pointed out the violations.

After hearing, the Board held that among the violations that the

respondent had committed, it had constructed an air pollution

source without a construction permit and operated it for over eight

years without an operating permit. The Agency recommended that

the Board assess a $15,000.00 penalty against the respondent, in

light of the seriousness of the violations and in consideration of the

facts of the case. The Board noted that the permitting requirements

were essential to the state's ability to regulate air pollution sources.

The Board felt that the Agency's ability to locate and limit the output

of air emissions sources would be impossible without the issuance

of permits. The Board imposed a penalty of $9,000.00, which it

stated amounted to $1000.00 for each year the respondent

operated the second crematory furnace without a permit. The

Board held that that amount was necessary to aid in enforcement of

the Act.

On appeal, the First District noted authority for the fact that a

violation of the Act does not warrant a civil penalty unless the

penalty assessed would aid in the enforcement of the Act. The

court noted that this authority has held that penalties were improper

where it would not aid enforcement of the Act because compliance

has already been achieved. The Court distinguished the case

before it from

Standard Scrap Metal Co. v. PCB

(1st Dist. 1986),

142 Ill. App. 3d 655, 491 N.E.2d 1251, in which the First District

upheld a $30,000.00 penalty for operation without a permit for an

extended period of time. It noted that in that case, the court

concluded that the respondent had "demonstrated a blatant

disregard for the requirements and procedures designed to protect

the environment", the respondent had accrued economic benefits

through non-compliance, and the respondent had not achieved

compliance as of the time of the court's decision.

In contrast, the court felt that the crematory respondent had acted

in good faith and had not operated outside the permitting

requirements in such a way that the Agency was unaware of its

existence. The court held that the Board's imposition of a

substantial penalty against the respondent was excessive in light of

the facts. It opined that such a penalty could, in fact, work to

discourage others from seeking compliance, and that the People

should never have filed the complaint with the Board. The court

NOTICE OF HEALTH ADVISORY FOR

METHYL TERTIARY-BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)

Prepared by

Office of Chemical Safety

Illinois EPA

June 9, 1994

REASON FOR ACTION

As a result of routine monitoring of public water supply systems, the gasoline additive Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether

(MTBE) has been detected at least in two public water supplies. Therefore, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency) is announcing its intention to issue a health advisory, pursuant to 35 Illinois Administrative Code Part 620 Subpart F:

Health Advisories, for Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether. According to Section 620.605 of Subpart F, the Agency shall issue a

health advisory for a chemical substance if all of the following conditions are met:

1)

A community water supply well is sampled and a substance is detected and confirmed by resampling;

2)

There is no standard under Section 620.410 for such chemical substance; and

3)

The chemical substance is toxic or harmful to human health according to the procedures of Appendix A, B, or C.

The Agency has determined that all three conditions have been met, prompting the issuance of this draft proposal for a

health advisory. By this issuance, the Agency is opening a 30-day public comment period, until August 22, 1994, regarding

this health advisory draft. Upon closing the public comment period, the Agency will consider all comments received and

amend the health advisory if warranted. The final health advisory will then be published in the Environmental Register (the

Illinois Pollution Control Board News) with responses to comments received. An abbreviated version of the final health

advisory will also be published in local newspapers which serve communities in whose public water supply systems MTBE has

been detected.

PROPOSED GUIDANCE LEVELS

Section 620.605 of Subpart F prescribes the methods for developing health advisories for carcinogens and noncarcinogens.

Since the Agency has determined that there is insufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of MTBE at this time (discussed in

the attachment to this notice), the method for developing a health advisory for noncarcinogens was used. Briefly, this method

specifies that the USEPA's maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) is the guidance level, if available, or the human

threshold toxicant advisory concentration (HTTAC) must be determined using the procedures contained in Appendix A of

Section 620. USEPA has not published an MCLG for MTBE, therefore the Agency used the Appendix A procedures to

calculate the HTTAC.

Appendix A specifies in prescribed order the toxicological data to be used in developing the HTTAC, ranging from a

verified Reference Dose developed by USEPA to a laboratory animal study of subchronic duration in which only a lowest

observable adverse effect level (LOAEL) has been determined. This preferred order reflects increasing uncertainty in the

toxicological database regarding a chemical's potential to cause adverse health effects in humans, and is manifested in

increasingly large safety factors which are applied to the data to calculate the HTTAC (maximum 10,000-fold safety factor).

In the case of MTBE, the Agency has selected the only study available in which the test animals were exposed by the oral

route of exposure as the basis for the HTTAC. Among other findings, this 90-day subchronic study reported increases in

serum cholesterol and persistent diarrhea in all doses tested, including the lowest dose of 100 mg/kg/d. As a result of using

this subchronic study in which only a LOAEL was determined, the language of Subpart F specifies the application of safety

factors totalling to 10,000 to the animal data, resulting in the HTTAC guidance level of 0.07 mg/l, or 70 parts per billion

(ppb). The details of the derivation of the HTTAC are presented in the attachment to this notice.

At this point it is necessary to discuss an aspect of the evolving science of risk assessment which has a bearing on this

notice. The Agency has been informed verbally by USEPA personnel that in most cases USEPA no longer favors the

calculation of acceptable exposure values for humans by using laboratory animal data divided by uncertainty factors totalling to

---

Environmental Register No. 484

Environmental Register No. 484

July, 1994/Page

July, 1994/Page 19

19

10,000. This preference will be included in a chapter in the book Essential Elements (in press; ILSI Press, 1994). Instead,

USEPA now prefers to utilize uncertainty factors totalling to no more than 3,000. The Agency agrees with this approach in

general, except in cases where the overall toxicity database for a chemical is very weak. In the case of MTBE, the database

contains enough laboratory animal data to determine that there are not major toxicity gaps which would warrant the use of a

10,000-fold uncertainty factor. The Agency is therefore also using an overall uncertainty factor of 3,000 to calculate a

guidance level for MTBE. Use of a 3,000-fold safety factor with the same laboratory animal data described above results in a

HTTAC guidance level of 0.23 mg/l, or 230 ppb. The details of the derivation of this HTTAC are also presented in the

attachment to this notice.

Since there is no provision in the language of Subpart F for the use of a 3,000-fold uncertainty factor in the derivation of

the HTTAC, the Agency is proposing to utilize HTTACs derived by both a 3,000-fold and a 10,000-fold uncertainty factor in

the health advisory for MTBE. It is proposed that the HTTAC derived using the 10,000-fold uncertainty factor (70 ppb) be a

precautionary health advisory concentration and the HTTAC derived using the 3,000-fold uncertainty factor (230 ppb) be the

final health advisory concentration. The precautionary health advisory would be a level in a public water supply below which

no action would be necessary and above which caution should be exercised by the public water supply (such as increased

sampling of the water and identification of the potential source(s)), while the final health advisory would be a level above which

the public water supply should begin actions to decrease the concentration or utilize an alternate water supply. The Agency is

requesting comment on the use of this approach when a total uncertainty factor of 10,000-fold is utilized to calculate a health

advisory.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Section 620.605 also specifies that the health advisory must contain a general description of the characteristics of the

chemical substance and its potential adverse health effects.

General Description of MTBE

MTBE (Chemical Abstracts Service Number 1634-04-4), also known as 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane, is a colorless liquid

with a disagreeable taste and odor. Its taste in water can be recognized at approximately 0.7 mg/l (700 ppb) (Connecticut

DEP), although recent research suggests that some people may be able to detect its presence in the range of 0.25 mg/l and

possibly as low as 0.04 mg/l (API, 1993). It has a high solubility in water, approximately 48,000 mg/l (von Burg, 1992).

Because of this high solubility, it has a high propensity to move through soil with infiltrating rainwater and snowmelt and to

potentially reach groundwater.

Its main use is as an octane booster in unleaded gasoline; it also has minor uses as an intermediate in the production of

other chemicals, especially isobutene, and as a treatment to dissolve gallstones. Its use has been increasing recently due to

requirements under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 for metropolitan areas which are not in compliance with carbon

monoxide standards to increase the percentage of oxygenated fuel in gasolines, especially in the wintertime. As a result, it has

been estimated that approximately 20% of the gasoline sold in the United States contains MTBE, at levels ranging from 2% to

15% in the gasolines (Costantini, 1993).

Potential Adverse Health Effects of MTBE

Relatively few reports of adverse effects of MTBE on humans exist, and testing for the full range of possible health effects

in laboratory animals has not yet been completed. Summaries of the acute, reproductive and developmental, and chronic

toxicity data for MTBE are presented.

Acute Toxicity

- Other than a single report in the medical literature of acute kidney failure due to leakage of MTBE

during gallstone treatment (Ponchon, 1988), there is no information regarding the effects of short-term, high level

exposure to MTBE in humans. The data from laboratory animal studies indicate that this chemical is not very toxic during

brief exposures, with lethal doses in the range of 3,000-4,000 ppm by oral exposure (about one pint for an adult human)

and 24,000-40,000 ppm (in air) by inhalation exposure (this would be within the explosive range in air) (Reese and

Kimbrough, 1993; von Burg, 1992; USEPA, 1993). The toxic effect in both exposure types was central nervous system

depression. MTBE does not appear to cause skin irritation except in cases of previously damaged skin, and eye irritation

and opacity of the cornea has been reported (von Burg, 1992).

Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity

- The reproductive effects of MTBE have been reported in three studies, and

---

Page

Page 20

20/ July, 1994

/ July, 1994

Environmental Register No. 484

Environmental Register No. 484

reproductive and developmental toxicity has been assessed in a fourth, using rats, mice, and/or rabbits. No significant

effects were reported in two of the reproductive studies (Biles et al., 1987; Conaway et al., 1985), and the third reported

effects on offspring (reduced body weight and reduced weight gain in rat pups, and slightly reduced pup survival) only at

doses which were also toxic to the parents (Neeper-Bradley, 1991). Similarly, the reproductive and developmental study

also reported offspring effects (reduced numbers of viable implantations and/or live births, reduced body weight,

decreased ossification, and increased incidence of cleft palate in mouse pups) only at doses toxic to the adults (Tyl and

Neeper-Bradley, 1989). This makes it difficult to say whether the effects on reproductive performance were truly an

effect of MTBE on the offspring, or whether these effects resulted from the toxicity to the parents. Since the doses which

showed these toxic effects were high (3,000-4,000 ppm), the potential for human reproductive effects at the much lower

anticipated environmental exposure levels is extremely small.

Chronic Toxicity

- There are no studies of the effects on humans exposed to MTBE for long periods, although anecdotal

reports of increased complaints of headache, nausea, vomiting, eye irritation, and respiratory problems have surfaced

recently in certain areas in conjunction with wintertime MTBE increases in gasoline. These complaints are the subject of

on-going research.

There is only one 90-day subchronic study in laboratory animals exposed by the oral route, which was the study finally

selected to derive the HTTAC by the Agency after following the procedures of Appendix A. This study is evaluated in depth

in the attachment to this notice. There are several animal subchronic and chronic studies using the inhalation route of

exposure, primarily evaluating the neurotoxic effects of MTBE. In one study (Greenough et al., 1980) in which the maximum

dose tested was 1,000 ppm for 6 hrs/day, 5 days/wk, for 13 weeks, no significant effects (other than anesthesia following

dosing at high concentrations) were reported. In another study (Dodd and Kintigh, 1989), in which the maximum dose tested

was 8,000 ppm (same dosing regimen), slight changes in blood chemistry, increased serum cortisone levels in both sexes,

reduced weight gain, increased kidney, liver, and adrenal gland weights, and sporadic neurotoxic effects were seen at doses of

4,000 and/or 8,000 ppm. There is also a recently completed lifetime cancer bioassay in mice and rats (Burleigh-Flayer et al.,

unpublished; Chun et al., unpublished), the details of which are evaluated in the attachment to this notice.

ATTACHMENT TO NOTICE OF HEALTH ADVISORY FOR

METHYL TERTIARY-BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)

OVERVIEW OF THE KEY STUDIES

In the only oral study (Robinson et al., 1990), rats were given 0, 100, 300, 900, or 1,200 mg/kg (ppm) by gavage. Rats

given 1,200 ppm exhibited profound anesthesia after dosing throughout the study, but recovered after the dose within two hours

and suffered no aftereffects. Body weight decreased with increasing dose, with the difference between treated and control rats

being statistically significant at 1,200 ppm. Other measurements showing statistical significance included: decreased blood

urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (measures of kidney function) at all doses; increased serum cholesterol at all doses;

increased kidney weight at 300 ppm and above; increases in several other organ weights at 900 ppm and above; and changes in

blood parameters at 1,200 ppm. Microscopic examinations revealed effects only at 1,200 ppm, where degenerative changes in

the kidneys of the male rats were noted. Finally, loose stools and diarrhea were seen at all doses throughout the study.

Viewing the results of this study, it would appear that the kidney is the target organ of MTBE. However, these results

must be interpreted carefully. The decreases in BUN and serum creatinine probably have no adverse effect on the animals

(decreased kidney function is often signaled by increases in these parameters), and may even indicate an increase in kidney

function. The increased kidney weights seen at 300 ppm and above are not in themselves an adverse effect, only an indication

of a possible adverse effect at even higher doses or longer exposure times. Finally, the microscopic changes seen at 1,200 ppm

in males are often seen in male rats (and only male rats) exposed to certain organic chemicals, due to overproduction of a

unique protein in the male rat kidney. Thus, it is not clear at this time whether MTBE is toxic to the kidney.

It would appear that a no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) has not been determined by this study, since increased

serum cholesterol and diarrhea were observed at all doses. Thus, the 100 ppm dose would be considered to be the lowest

observable adverse effect level (LOAEL) for MTBE. The procedure for calculating a health advisory for drinking water in the

groundwater quality standards (35 Ill. Adm. Code 620, Subpart F) gives preference to oral studies which determine a NOAEL

or LOAEL, and this study may be considered to develop the health advisory for MTBE.

A lifetime inhalation cancer bioassay has recently been completed with mice and rats, but the results have not been

published (Burleigh-Flayer et al.; Chun et al.). The Agency has been given summaries of the studies submitted to USEPA by

the USEPA contact for MTBE.

These results are briefly summarized, but since the studies are still undergoing review it

must be realized that this information is preliminary

.

Both species were exposed to 0, 400, 3,000, or 8,000 ppm in air. As in the oral study above, the male rats experienced an

increased incidence of kidney degeneration. This became the leading cause of death in male rats, and resulted in early

termination of the 3,000 and 8,000 ppm male groups. The other main cause of death in male rats was leukemia, seen in both

the control and 400 ppm group. (In fact, the incidence in the control group was higher, 33/50, than in the 400 ppm group,

22/50.) Non-cancer effects of MTBE included symptoms of central nervous system depression in both sexes of rats at 3,000

and 8,000 ppm, but not at 400 ppm, and an increased incidence of kidney degeneration in male rats at 400 ppm. The only

tumors which were related to MTBE exposure were tumors in the kidneys of male rats in the 3,000 and 8,000 ppm groups.

These tumor types are also thought to be related to the overproduction of the male rat protein, and the significance of these

results for humans is questionable.

In the mouse study, symptoms of central nervous system depression similar to those seen in rats were observed at 3,000

and 8,000 ppm. Increases in liver and kidney weights were also seen at these doses, and an increase in the number of liver

cells (noncancerous), an indication of toxic effects on the liver, was reported at 8,000 ppm. The only tumors found in excess

of controls were liver tumors in females in the 8,000 ppm group. However, the significance of this finding for humans is also

questionable, since this tumor type is common in the strain of mouse used in this study, and is known to occur in controls at a

relatively high rate.

In reviewing the results of these studies, it is difficult to say whether MTBE presents a carcinogenic hazard to humans.

However, the noncancer effects may be relevant for determining a health advisory level for MTBE. In this regard, the rat

study has produced a LOAEL of 400 ppm based on kidney effects in male rats (this dose may be a NOAEL given the

questionable significance of this effect for humans), while the mouse study has produced a NOAEL of 400 ppm. The mouse

portion of this study may be considered to develop the health advisory for MTBE, once it has finished USEPA's review

process.

DERIVATION OF THE HEALTH ADVISORY FOR MTBE

The first step in the derivation of a health advisory is to determine whether the chemical presents a carcinogenic hazard to

humans. To date, there have been no investigations whether there is an increased incidence of cancer in humans associated

with exposure to MTBE. As discussed above, there is some evidence that MTBE causes tumors in laboratory animals, but the

types of tumors found in the rat and mouse cancer bioassays may not provide good evidence of a carcinogenic hazard to

humans since these tumors may be species-specific responses with little or no relevance to humans. Furthermore, these studies

are still undergoing review by USEPA and a final determination of the usability of the results for determining the carcinogenic

hazard to humans has not been made. Therefore, the Agency has determined at this time that the derivation of the health

advisory for MTBE will be based on the non-cancer effects of this chemical.

This derivation may be changed in the future,

depending on the USEPA's determinations, once the cancer bioassay data have been published and the weight-of-

evidence for human carcinogenic potential has been determined.

In deriving a health advisory to protect against a health effect for which there is a threshold dose below which no damage

occurs (i.e., noncarcinogenic effects), Section 620.605 specifies that USEPA's maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG), if

available, is the health advisory concentration. USEPA has not published a MCLG for MTBE, therefore, the Agency must

calculate the human threshold toxicant advisory concentration (HTTAC) as the health advisory concentration, using the

procedures specified in Appendix A of Section 620.

Appendix A specifies in subsection (a) that the HTTAC is calculated as follows:

Where:

HTTAC =

Human threshold toxicant advisory concentration in milligrams per liter (mg/l);

RSC = Relative source contribution, the relative contribution of the amount of the exposure to a chemical via

drinking water when compared to the total exposure to that chemical from all sources. Valid

chemical-specific data shall be used if available. If valid chemical-specific data are not

available, a value of 20% (=0.20) must be used;

ADE = Acceptable daily exposure of substance in milligrams per day (mg/d) as determined pursuant to

subsection (b); and

W =

Per capita daily water consumption equal to 2 liters per day (L/d).

Subsection (b) of Appendix A specifies that the ADE be calculated using, in specified order: USEPA's Verified Oral

Reference Dose (an estimate of a daily exposure to a chemical which is expected to be without adverse effect for humans,

including sensitive subgroups, for a lifetime of exposure); a NOAEL which has been identified as a result of human exposures;

a LOAEL which has been identified as a result of human exposures; a NOAEL which has been determined from studies with

laboratory animals; and a LOAEL which has been determined from studies with laboratory animals.

There is no Verified Reference Dose currently available from USEPA. As mentioned above, there is a paucity of studies

on the adverse effects in humans exposed to MTBE. Thus, the Agency has determined that a NOAEL or LOAEL based on

human exposures is not available at this time. Therefore, the ADE must be calculated from laboratory animal data. Of the

studies reviewed by the Agency, the 90-day rat subchronic study and the cancer bioassay (noncarcinogenic effects) are the most

appropriate animal studies for calculation of the ADE. It is then necessary to determine which study is the most valid for

purposes of calculating the ADE.

Subsection (c) of Appendix A specifies criteria for establishing the validity of data from animal studies, leading to

determinations of high, medium, or low validity. High validity studies are those using the oral route of exposure and which

meet specified criteria depending on the type of study, and are to be used preferentially if available. The rat 90-day subchronic

study was conducted using the oral route, while the cancer bioassay was an inhalation study. Therefore, only the subchronic

study could be a high validity study. However, the requirements for a high validity subchronic study include, among other

---

23

things, a study using two species and determining a well-defined NOAEL. The 90-day rat subchronic study used only one

species and only determined a LOAEL, as discussed above. Having no high validity study, the Agency must determine which

of the two studies is most appropriate for calculating the ADE.

Subsection (c) goes on to specify that in order for a subchronic study in which a LOAEL is determined to be deemed a

medium validity study, the study must satisfy all other standards for a high validity study. This is not the case for the 90-day

rat subchronic study, since there was only one species tested. Similarly, in order for a study other than an oral exposure study

to be deemed a medium validity study, the study must satisfy all other standards for a high validity study and use appropriate

correction factors for conversion to the oral route. However, the requirements for a high validity cancer bioassay include,

among other things, at least 25% survival at 18 months in mice and 24 months in rats. This was not the case in the cancer

bioassay, since the male rats in the 3,000 and 8,000 ppm groups were terminated early due to excessive mortality. Thus, both

candidate studies are defined as low validity studies, and the 90-day rat subchronic study is selected because exposure was by

the oral route.

The determination of the ADE from the subchronic study is made using the language of subsections (b)(5) and (b)(6).

Subsection (b)(6) specifies that for substances for which a NOAEL is not available, one-tenth of the LOAEL is substituted for

the NOAEL in subsection (b)(5). Subsection (b)(5) specifies that if studies of low validity must be used, the ADE must be

calculated using 1/1000 of the NOAEL. The overall result of the procedures in these two subsections is that the ADE is

1/10,000 of the LOAEL, times the average weight of an adult human, 70 kg:

At this point, the calculation of the HTTAC would proceed according to the formula listed above. However, the Agency

has been informed by USEPA personnel that in most cases USEPA now prefers to calculate acceptable exposure values for

humans by using laboratory animal data divided by no more than a 3,000-fold uncertainty factor; a 10,000-fold uncertainty

factor would be used only where the overall toxicity database is very weak for a chemical. The Agency agrees with this

emerging USEPA approach. Since the MTBE database contains enough laboratory animal research to indicate that there are

not major toxicity data gaps which would warrant the use of a 10,000-fold uncertainty factor, the Agency is also calculating the

ADE using a 3,000-fold uncertainty factor:

Finally, the determination of the HTTAC is straight-forward, since there are no chemical-specific data available for the

RSC term:

Or:

The final step in determining the health advisory is to compare the HTTAC value calculated from the Appendix A

procedures to the chemical's Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL). In the case of MTBE, no USEPA SW-846 analytical method

specifies a PQL for this chemical. However, the Agency's Division of Laboratories has determined that a detection limit of

0.005 mg/l is appropriate for water samples. Therefore, the HTTAC value is above the detection limit.

The Agency has decided to issue a two-part health advisory.

The precautionary health advisory concentration for

Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) is 0.07 mg/l or 70 parts per billion in drinking water.

People can be exposed to this

concentration of MTBE in drinking water over a 70 year lifetime. Above this concentration, appropriate caution should be

exercised by the Public Water Supply, such as increased frequency of sampling and identification of the MTBE source(s).

The

final health advisory concentration is 0.23 mg/l or 230 parts per billion in drinking water

. Above this concentration, the

Public Water Supply should begin actions to decrease the amount of MTBE in the system.

Restricted Status List -- Public Water Supplies

The Restricted Status List was developed to give additional notification to officials of public water

supplies which are in violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code, Subtitle F: Public Water Supplies, Chapter I or the

Illinois Environmental Protection Act.

The Restricted Status List will include all Public Water Supplies for which the Agency has information

indicating a violation of any of the following requirements: Finished water quality requirements of 35

Ill. Adm. Code, Part 604, Subparts B and C; maintenance of adequate pressure on all parts of the

distribution system under all conditions of demand; meeting raw water quantity requirements of 35 Ill. Adm.

Code 604.502; or maintenance of treatment facilities capable of providing water "assuredly adequate in

quantity" as required by Section 18 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act.

A public water supply on the Restricted Status List will not be issued permits for water main extensions,

except for certain limited situations, or unless the supply has been granted a variance from the Illinois

Pollution Control Board for the violation, or from permit issuance requirements of Section 39 of the Act.

This list is continually being revised as new information becomes available, and therefore, specific

inquiries as to the status of any public water supply should be directed to the Division of Public Water

Supplies for final determination. This list reflects the status as of July 1, 1994.

*

Indicates public water supplies which have been added to the list since the previous publication.
