TESTIMONYOFTOBYFREVERT
My name is
Toby
Frevert and
I am the Manager of the Division of Water Pollution
within the
Bureau ofWater of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Illinois
EPA”).
I
have been with the
Illinois
EPA
in
excess of 20 years.
My testimony will provide
a
brief overview ofthe actions that the Agency
has taken since the March
17, 2003 hearing on this
matter.
First, the Agency is
in the
process of thoroughly reviewing the proposed rulemaking.
This review contains an
in-
depth analysis of the existing regulations to ensure thatthe proposed rulemaking does
not duplicate the language or the concept that is already covered by the existing
regulations.
After this analysis, the Agency intends to modify the proposed language or
suggest alternative language where such changes are warranted.
Second, the Agency
has met with the proponents and have
meetings scheduled with the other major
stakeholders to discuss in detail
the elements ofthe
proposal.
These meetings will
allow the Agency to better understand the views of the
various stakeholders and would

also allow the Agency to make recommendations to the
Board that have
been argued, if
not agreed upon,
by the interested stakeholders.
I will report on the status of these
discussions to the Board at the April 2, 2003 hearing.
This concludes my pro-filed testimony.
I will
be supplementing the testimony as
needed during the
hearing.
I would be happy to address any questions.
