ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
Section 22.4(d) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.4(d) (2000))
requires the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance,” as defined at Section 7.2
of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2 (2000)), 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 (RCRA) as amended (42 U.S.C.
§§ 6993 (1998)) to implement Subtitle I of RCRA (42 U.S.C. §§ 6991
et seq
. (1998)) 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 January 1,
2001, through June 30, 2001.
During that time period, the only USEPA amendments to the federal UST regulations
were actions of June 15, 2001 (66 Fed. Reg. 32564 and 32566) relating to the federal
authorization of the North Carolina program. Therefore, no action is necessary, and 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 23rd day of August 2001 by a vote of 7-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
