ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):

Section 22.4(d) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) requires the Board to adopt

regulations which are “identical in substance,” as defined at Section 7.2 of the Act, to

underground storage tank (UST) regulations promulgated by the United States Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA) pursuant to Section 9003 of the federal Resource Conservation

and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (RCRA) to implement Subtitle I of RCRA, with

certain limitations. USEPA has codified its UST regulations at 40 C.F.R. 281 through 283.

The Board reserved this docket for any UST amendments adopted by USEPA between July 1,

1998, and December 31, 1998.

During that time period, USEPA did not amend its UST regulations. Therefore, the

Board hereby dismisses this docket.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, do hereby certify

that the above order was adopted on the 18th day of February 1999 by a vote of 7-0.

Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
