    WATER POLLUTION.
    )
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    D. Dumelle):
    The Board proposes to revise Chapter
    3:
    Water Pollution to
    conform with codification regulations adopted by the Secretary
    of State
    (Ill.
    Rev. Stat.
    ch.
    127, §1007;
    1 Ill.
    Admin. Code
    Part 120 and §160.1101;
    4 Ill.
    Reg.
    p.
    196, June 27,
    1980;
    5 Iii.
    Reg.
    178, January 2, 1981;
    5 Ill. Reg.
    694, January 16,
    1981).
    Parts
    I through IX and Part XII of Chapter
    3 will be codi-
    fied as Parts 301 through 310 of Title
    35, Subtitle C, Chapter
    I.
    Existing Parts
    I, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and XII can be codified
    largely by renumbering the old rules.
    Parts II,
    III and IX re-
    quire more modification.
    The old rules specifying water quality standards in Part II
    have been made subparts of Part 302.
    Explanatory sections have
    been added to introduce subparts.
    Site specific rules and water
    use designations have been moved to Part 303.
    These have been
    grouped with the existing water use designations of Part III and
    arranged geographically by river basin.
    This is
    in anticipation
    of a pending proposal to adopt water quality standards by river
    basin throughout the state
    (R79—6).
    Parts IV, VII and IX reflect amendments which are being
    adopted in R76-21.
    Modification prior to adoption will neces-
    sitate modification of this proposal.
    Part IX has been codified by breaking existing rules into
    several sections.
    Some rearrangement has also been done.
    The
    subparts have been divided into “sub-subparts” with space re-
    served for additional rules.
    A draft copy of Subtitle c is available from the Clerk.
    Because the changes are slight and the text lengthy, the Board
    will not set it forth in this Order or print the text in the
    Opinions.
    The Board will provide in the Environmental Register
    notice of its proposal to codify old Chapter 3.
    Copies of the
    draft will be mailed to
    anyone
    requesting a copy.
    Persons de-
    siring to comment may do so within forty—five days of the date
    of this Order.

    The Secretary of State’s Rules provide a method for codifica-
    tion of rules without substantive changes
    (1 Ill.
    Admin. Code
    §160.1103).
    The Board proposes to follow this abbreviated pro-
    cedure.
    The Board will at this time submit a copy of the draft
    to the State Library for approval.
    The Board will consider corn-
    merits and the State Library’s recommendation prior to adopting
    a declaration that no substantive changes have been made
    (1 Ill.
    Admin. Code §160.1103).
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution
    Control Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted
    on the e~O~’day of
