RULEMAKING UPDATE
CLEAN-FUEL FLEET PROGRAM ADOPTED, R95-12
On September 7, 1995, the Board adopte
d rules that establish clean-fuel fleet
program requirements in Illinois. The program requires fleet owners that acquire new
motor vehicles to use a specified minimum percentage of clean-fuel vehicles (CFFVs),
which meet low emissions requirements established by U.S. EPA, as part of those fleets,
beginning with model year 1998.
The Illinois EPA (Agency) filed its clean-fuel proposal on March 30, 1995 as a
Section 28.5 "fast-track" rulemaking proposal. The Agency stated in its rulemaking
proposal that these rules are necessitated by the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 (CAAA). The CAAA requires a reduction in ozone precursor emissions in areas
that are nonattainment for ozone. As part of the federal requirements, states must adopt a
clean-fuel fleet program for areas that are federally-designated as serious, severe, and
extreme for ozone nonattainment. A clean-fuel fleet program is required for the Chicago
metropolitan area, which U.S. EPA has designated as a severe ozone nonattainment area.
The Board proposed the regulations for First Notice publication on April 6, 1995.
The Board accepted the clean-fuel fleet program rulemaking proposal pursuant to
the "fast-track" rulemaking provisions of Section 28.5 of the Environmental Protection
Act (Act). Section 28.5 required the Board to proceed within set time-frames toward the
adoption of the proposed amendments. The Board lacked any discretion under the statute
to adjust these time-frames under any circumstances. Under Section 28.5(o), the Board
must have adopted the regulations for Second Notice within 130 days on receipt of the
regulations from the Agency. Section 28.5(p) required that the Board must adopt and file
final rules based on the regulations within 21 days of when it received the Certificate of
No Objection from JCAR.

EXEMPTION FROM LANDFILL REQUIREMENTS FOR DISPOSAL OF DEAD
ANIMALS ADOPTED, R95-9
On September 21, 1995, the Board adopted amendments to the Illinois landfill
regulations relating to the disposal of dead animals in Illinois. The amendments clarified
the relationship between the Illinois landfill regulations and the Illinois Dead Animal Act
(225 ILCS 610/1). To this end, the amendments added a definition of "dead animal
disposal site" and excluded such a site from regulation as a municipal solid waste landfill
(MSWLF) by excluding it from the definition of a MSWLF. MSWLFs are subject to
regulation under the federal RCRA Subtitle D rules and the Illinois landfill rules.
The Illinois Farm Bureau, Illinois Beef Association, Illinois Lamb and Wool
Producers, Inc., Illinois Milk Producers Association, and Illinois Pork Producers
Association filed a petition on February 2, 1995. The Board accepted the petition on
February 16, and conducted public hearings on April 3, in DeKalb, and April 10, in
Springfield. The Board proposed the amendments for First Notice on May 18, 1995, and
a Notice of Proposed Amendments appeared in the June 9, 1995 Illinois Register. On
August 24, 1995, the Board proposed amendments to the Illinois landfill regulations
relating to the disposal of dead animals in Illinois for Second Notice review by the Joint
Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). JCAR voted No Objection to the
amendments at its meeting of September 12, 1995, which left the Board free to adopt the
amendments.

the Board's opinion and order from Victoria Agyeman, at 312-814-3620. Please refer to
docket R95-9.
SPECIAL WASTE VEHICLE NUMBER AMENDMENTS PROPOSED FOR FIRST
federal law, as interpreted by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The ATA
suggested an amendment to Section 809.401 that was jointly drafted with the Agency.
On March 16, 1995, the Board opened a docket to consider amendment of the special
waste hauler requirements of the land pollution control regulations and authorized two
hearings in the matter. (See issue 493, Apr., 1995.) The Board held public hearings on
the proposed amendments on June 7, 1995, in Chicago, and June 21, 1995, in Springfield.
A Notice of Proposed Amendments appeared in the September 22, 1995 Illinois
Register. This commenced the 45-day public comment period, which will end on
November 6, 1995. After the First Notice comment period has ended, the Board will be
free to propose the amendments for Second Notice review by the Joint Committee on
Administrative Rules (JCAR).

Victoria Agyeman, at 312-814-6920. Please refer to docket R95-11.
PART I 15% ROP CLEANUP AMENDMENTS PROPOSED, R96-2
The Board proposed Part I cleanup amendments to the 15% reduction of pollution
(ROP) plan regulations on September 7 and 21, 1995. The amendments would change
the 15% ROP plan to revise the annual deadline for compliance with the 7.2 pounds per
square inch (psi) Reid vapor pressure (RVP) requirement for certain gasoline suppliers
from May 1 to June 1. The Board adopted the 7.2 psi RVP requirements as a portion of
the Part I 15% ROP rules on September 15, 1994. The presently-proposed cleanup
amendments would make an emergency rule that delayed the annual effective date, of
February 23, 1995, in R95-10, into a permanent rule. The Second change is to correct the
identification number for the Clark Oil terminal in the metropolitan East St. Louis area,
which is subject to the marine vessel loading rules. The marine vessel loading
regulations were involved in the Part II 15% ROP proceeding, which the Board adopted
on October 20, 1994, under docket number R94-15.
The Board adopted the 15% ROP regulations in seven parts, as submitted by the
Agency, between September 15, 1994 and May 4, 1995. The aggregate of the seven parts
are intended to reduce emissions of ozone-forming volatile organic compounds in the
Chicago and metropolitan East St. Louis areas, as required by federal law. The federal
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) require a reduction in ozone precursor
emissions in areas that are nonattainment for ozone. (See issue 495, June-July, 1995.)
The Board initially accepted and proposed the Part I 15% ROP cleanup proposal
pursuant to the "fast-track" rulemaking provisions of Section 28.5 of the Environmental
Protection Act (Act) on September 7, 1995. However, after closer scrutiny of the
proposal, on September 21, 1995, the Board corrected this and accepted and proposed the
Administration Building, County Board Room, 157 North Main Street,
Edwardsville.

STANDARDS PROPOSED FOR NEW UTILITY WASTE LANDFILLS, R96-1
The Board proposed alternative standards for new utility waste landfills on
September 21, 1995, in docket R96-1. The proposed new Part 816 standards would
establish an alternative means of satisfying the liner and cap requirements for certain new
landfills. They would allow owners and operators of chemical waste landfills that accept
only flue gas desulfurization (FGD) sludges and coal combustion ash from electric
utilities to use these materials stabilized using the proprietary, patented Poz-O-Tec©
process as liner and cap material. The proposed rules would alternatively allow
monofilling of Poz-O-Tec© materials without a liner and cap.
The proposed rules mirror adjusted standards granted to Conversion Systems, Inc.
in AS 93-4 and AS 93-5, on July 7, 1995. In granting the adjusted standards, the Board
initiated this rulemaking in the belief that a rule of general applicability was a more
appropriate method to allow the use of the Poz-O-Tec© materials. (See issue 496, Aug.,
1995.) Board Member Ronald C. Flemal dissented from the vote to propose the
regulations.

PRE-HEARING CONFERENCE SCHEDULED FOR WATER QUALITY
AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL, R94-1
The Board has scheduled a pre-hearing conference on the proposed amendments
to certain of the water quality regulations. The proposed amendments would amend
certain of the water quality regulations by updating various standards for ammonia
nitrogen, lead, and mercury. The Board has scheduled a pre-hearing conference to occur
in Chicago as follows:
11:00 a.m., Wednesday, November 8, 1
995
Illinois State Labor Relations Board
160 North LaSalle Street
4th Floor
Chicago.
The Illinois EPA (Agency) water quality proposal proceeded from a mandatory
triennial review of the Illinois stream water quality regulations required under the federal
Notices of Proposed Amendments appeared in the Register on September 30, 1994. As
observed in the hearing officer order scheduling the pre-hearing conference, those Notices
have since expired, and the Board will have to consider the proposal again for First
Notice publication. (Issues 481, April, 1994; 483, June, 1994 & 487, Oct., 1994.) The
Board has already conducted three public hearings on the proposal, on November 10,
1994 and January 26, 1995, in Chicago, and on November 22, 1994, in Springfield.
Direct questions to Diane F. O'Neill, at 312-814-6062. Please refer to docket
R94-1.
PROPOSAL TO AMEND STEEL AND FOUNDRY LANDFILL RULES ACCEPTED,
SET FOR HEARING, R96-3
The Board accepted a petition on September 21, 1995 that would have the Board
amend the regulations applicable to existing landfills that accept steel and foundry
industry waste. The Board accepted the filing and granted a motion to waive the statutory
200-signature requirement. The proposal, filed September 6 by the Illinois Cast Metals
Association, would have the Board amend the landfill regulations by adding an
exemption from the existing locational standards. At present, the regulations prohibit
construction of new landfill units within a regulated recharge area or within 1200 feet of
Class I or Class III groundwater. The Association would have the Board create an
exemption for those facilities that can demonstrate no potential to impact groundwater.
The hearing officer has scheduled two public hearings on the proposal, to occur as
follows:
10:00 a.m., Tuesday, November 28, 1995

APPELLATE UPDATE
FOURTH DISTRICT UPHOLDS BOARD RECONSIDERATION DECIDED BY
TELEPHONE CONFERENCE
In a case of first impression in Illinois, the Fourth District upheld a Board decision
On May 5, 1994, in People of the State of Illinois v. Freedom Oil Co., PCB 93-59,
the Board found that the appellant had violated the Act and Board regulations and issued
an order that assessed a $15,000 penalty against the appellant. The appellant paid that
penalty on May 23, 1994. The Board noticed that the draft of the opinion and order
issued, which assessed the $15,000 penalty, was not the draft version that it considered
and approved on May 5. The Board decided to reconsider its decision and issue the
appropriate draft. To this end, the Board published notice of a special Board meeting
(including personal notice to counsel for the appellant) and conducted a meeting by
telephone conference call by speaker phone on June 6, 1994. The Board issued the
appropriate opinion and order on that date, assessing a $30,000 penalty against the
appellant. (See issues 483, June, 1994 & 484, July, 1994.)
The appellant appealed the May 5, 1994 Board opinion and order on June 9, 1994,
before receiving a copy of the Board's June 6 opinion and order. The appellate court
dismissed that appeal, in Freedom Oil Co. v. People (4th Dist. July 19, 1994), No. 4-94-
0537), because the appellant had failed to name the Board as a party. The appellant
appealed the Board's June 6, 1994 reconsideration on September 2, 1994, which is the
proceeding that resulted in the instant decision of the Fourth District appellate court.
The first issue decided by the court of appeals was whether it had jurisdictio
n over
the appeal. In response to the Board's argument that the court's dismissal of July 19, 1994
was dispositive, the court observed that it was a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction, and was
not on the merits of the case. It noted that Board procedural rules provide for
reconsideration of Board decisions and that Board reconsideration on June 6, 1994
rendered the May 5 decision interlocutory. The Fourth District observed that the appeal
before it was of the Board's June 6, 1994 decision and timely filed. The court concluded
that it had jurisdiction to hear the appeal.
The second issue, raised by the appellant, related to whether the Board had the
authority to alter the amount of the penalty. The court noted that the Board's procedural
rules provided for the Board initiating reconsideration and correcting clerical errors on its
own initiative. It observed that the appellant did not challenge this authority, but that the
appellant argued instead that the Board's reconsideration of June 6 went beyond the mere
correction of a clerical error to a doubling of the penalty assessed. The appellate court
examined the record and concluded that the record supported a conclusion that the Board
was correcting a clerical error in its reconsideration of June 6, 1994.
The final issue, raised by the appellant, related to whether the Board had the
authority to reconsider its May 5 decision by a telephone conference on June 6. The court
first determined that although the appellant had not earlier raised the issue, the issue fell
within an exclusion to the waiver rule because it was capable of arising again. The
with the Board of Elections, and that such telephone meetings actually could further the
goals of the Open Meetings Act. Observing that the appellant had failed to cite any
authority to support a conclusion that the Board was prohibited from meeting by
telephone, the appellate court held that the Board had not acted improperly by
reconsidering its penalty in this way. In concluding, the Fourth District cautioned that the
Board should adopt procedural rules for the conduct of telephonic meetings if it intends to
conduct some of its meetings by telephone in the future.
FOURTH DISTRICT AFFIRMS BOARD CITING REVERSAL; PROCEEDINGS NOT
FUNDAMENTALLY FAIR
In a recent decision, Southwest Energy Corp. v. PCB (4th Dist. Sep. 7, 1995), No.
4-94-0759, the Fourth District appellate court affirmed a Board determination in a
pollution control facility siting appeal. The Board had vacated the siting approval granted
in Concerned Citizens for a Better Environment v. City of Havana (May 19, 1994), PCB
94-44, determining that the City had deprived opponents to the proposed waste-to-energy
incinerator of fundamental fairness. On appeal, the Fourth district agreed.
The siting applicant filed an application for siting approval for its proposed
facility with the City of Havana. With the assistance of the siting applicant, the City
hired an attorney to act as hearing officer. The local chamber of commerce sponsored a
luncheon where the siting applicant discussed the proposed facility on September 16,
1993. An opponent to the facility siting was barred from the luncheon because she did
not have an invitation. Siting opponents filed an appearance to challenge the siting on
September 29, 1993. In October, 1993, the siting applicant at least partially sponsored
City council members, the press, and others on a tour of its similar facility in
Massachusetts. Opponents to the facility siting were not invited on the tour. The City
conducted public hearings on the siting application in October and November, 1993,
following which the hearing officer submitted her report that included recommended
findings of fact and conclusions of law. The City granted citing approval under Section
39.2 of the Environmental Protection Act.
The siting opponents appealed the approval to the Board. The record assembled
before the Board indicated that the siting applicant had participated in the interviewing
and hiring of the City's hearing officer. The siting applicant had paid the hearing officer
directly and, along with the City, had reviewed and commented on her draft siting
ordinances during the editing process. The record further indicated that the hearing
officer experienced confusion over whether the City or the siting applicant was her client.
Finally, City council members indicated that the tour of the Massachusetts facility did not
influence their decision to vote in favor of siting approval.
siting applicant contained inherent bias and that the City had allowed the applicant
control over the hearing officer.
The Fourth District first observed the nature of the role of the local governing
body in reviewing an application for siting approval. It noted that the process is
frequently characterized as quasi-adjudicatory, but that even after the governing body has
given consideration to the nine criteria of Section 39.2 and determined that the applicant
has met all nine, the body may still permissibly deny siting approval based on quasi-
legislative concerns. Citing Tate v. PCB (4th Dist. 1989), 188 Ill. App. 3d 994, 544
N.E.2d 1176, the court stated that although participants can demand fundamental fairness
in the review of a siting application, they are not entitled to a fair hearing under the
Constitutional guarantee of Due Process. The participants have a right to present, review,
and object to evidence in the record, but they have no right to cross-examine witnesses.
The court then considered whether the trip to the Massachusetts facility denied
fundamental fairness. The Fourth District stated that the way the trip occurred denied
opponents of the proposed facility "knowledge of information which the trip participants
obtained", thus hindering their preparation of their case against the facility. Even if
allowed a later opportunity to tour the facility, the court believed there was no guarantee
that the opponents would have had access to the same information. The court held that
the Board had correctly determined that the trip to Massachusetts denied fundamental
fairness, and further noted that its conclusion did not depend on any right to cross-
examine trip participants. The court responded to the siting applicant's arguments that the
tour was only marginally relevant to the siting decision and that it did not prejudice the
siting opponents. It stated that the trip was highly relevant to the suitability of the
proposed facility to the surrounding area. It further concluded that whether there was
actual prejudice was immaterial because the siting opponents were not given equal access
to information obtained by the counsel members.
In response to a request for future guidance on the issue, the Fourth District stated
that a local governing body could tour an existing facility without violating fundamental
fairness. The court said, "Fundamental fairness merely requires that representatives of all
parties to the siting proceeding be given an opportunity to accompany the local governing
body when it takes such a tour." The court further observed that although it is proper for
the siting applicant to bear the expenses of such a tour, the appropriate procedure is for
the local governing body to pay the expenses directly and later seek reimbursement from
the applicant.
The Fourth District then examined the relationship among
the City, the hearing
officer, and the siting applicant. The court noted that the Board had found that the
hearing officer was not actually biased and that she had not voted for the siting approval.
held that the Board properly considered the hearing officer's testimony that she was
confused whether the siting applicant was also her client, as well as the City.
Finally, the Fourth District considered the issue of whether the chamber of
commerce luncheon denied fundamental fairness. It concluded that it did not. The court
observed that at the time of the luncheon, no opponents to the siting application had filed
an appearance. The court stated that, unlike the Massachusetts facility tour, it would have
been impossible to include them in the luncheon at that time.

RESTRICTED STATUS AND CRITICAL REVIEW LISTS FOR PUBLIC WATER
SUPPLIES IN THIS ISSUE
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Public Water Supplies,
is publishing copies of the Division's Restricted Status and Critical Review lists at the end
of this issue of the Environmental Register. These lists reflect the status as of October 1,
1995.
RESTRICTED STATUS AND CRITICAL REVIEW LISTS FOR SEWAGE
TREATMENT IN THIS ISSUE
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Water Pollution
New NESHAP for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities
On September 1, 1995, U.S. EPA adopted national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities
category. New 40 CFR 60, Subpart GG would regulate the emission of hazardous air
pollutants from sources within the category. Among the contaminants emitted by the
2,869 facilities nationwide in this category that will now become subject to regulation are
emissions of chromium, methylene chloride, toluene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone,
ethylene glycol, and glycol ethers. U.S. EPA anticipates annual emissions reductions of
123,700 tons of hazardous air pollutants through the rule, which amounts to about 59
percent of all emissions. The cost of nationwide compliance is estimated to range from a
net savings of $49.2 million to a net cost of $660 million, with U.S. EPA anticipating a
net cost of about $21 million. The compliance deadline for all commercial, civil, and
military facilities is September 1, 1998.
Rescission of Radionuclide Emissions Standards
On September 5, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 46206), U.S. EPA rescinded its 40 CFR 61,
Subpart I regulations, as it applied to nuclear reactors. Section 112(d)(9) of the Clean Air
Act Amendments allowed U.S. EPA to decline to regulate emissions from nuclear
reactors if it determines in consultation with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
that the NRC regulations provide an "ample margin of safety" to adequately protect
public health. Having now made this determination, U.S. EPA rescinded its October 31,
1989 Clean Air Act Section 112 regulations governing emissions of radionuclides from
nuclear power reactors. The facilities formerly regulated included hospitals, research
facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, laboratories, industrial facilities, uranium mills,
fuel fabrication plants, and nuclear power reactors. Never regulated were facilities like
naval nuclear reactors that never had an NRC license.
Specified Conditions for UST Lender Liability Exemption
U.S. EPA adopted amendments to its underground storage tank (UST) regulations
on September 7, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 46692) that limit the liability of lenders for UST
remedial action. New 40 CFR 280, Subpart I specifies the conditions under which a
"security interest holder" may be exempted from payment of remedial action costs and
from technical and financial assurance requirements that otherwise apply to tank owners
and operators. Section 9003(h)(9) of RCRA exempts a person who holds indicia of
ownership primarily to protect a security interest and who meets certain conditions from
the definition of "owner". The conditions are that that person must not have actively
participated in the management of the facility and must not have otherwise been active in
petroleum production, refining, or marketing. The statutory exemption is not limited to
5403-93, which does not apply to thin film UV-cured surface coatings and inks. U.S.
EPA modified Method 24 to state the inapplicability of method D 5403-93 under certain
circumstances.
Lead-Based Paint Hazards Guidance Available
U.S. EPA had its "Guidance on Identification of Lead-Based Paints Hazards"
printed in the Federal Register, on September 11, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 47248). Section
403 of the federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires U.S. EPA to adopt
rules for the identification of the hazards of lead-based paint and lead-contaminated soil
and dust. It issued a guidance document to identify those hazards on July 14, 1994 as an
interim measure while assembling the required regulations. U.S. EPA had the entire text
of the document reprinted in the Register in order to make the document more widely
available.
Federal Vehicle I/M Relaxations
On September 18, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 48029), U.S. EPA adopted an alternative
relaxation of the vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) regulations for areas that can
demonstrate that they can achieve the goals of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
(CAAA). The adopted rules would create a second, less stringent test for those areas that
can achieve the reasonable further progress (RFP) deadlines of the CAAA. The original
test, formerly the enhanced I/M test, is now called the high enhanced I/M performance
standard. The new test is called the low enhanced performance standard. The new low
enhanced test includes the minimum two inspections per vehicle: an emissions
inspection and a visual inspection.
The new low enhanced I/M standard changes a number of elements required under
the high enhanced standard. Among these changes are an extended deadline for
implementing the minimum repair expenditure for a waiver; the allowable application of
the costs of pre-inspection repairs and repairs of primary emissions control components
by non-technicians towards the waiver expenditure; and that more than one hardship
exemption may issue per vehicle lifetime. U.S. EPA also amended the high enhanced
I/M test to include a visual inspection of the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve
on all 1968 through 1971 and of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system on all 1972
through 1983 light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks. In a change to the applicability of
the basic I/M test, U.S. EPA changed the population cutoff for basic I/M from 50,000 to
200,000; it intends to propose an additional performance test for those areas in the future.
In a more general amendment to the applicability provisions, U.S. EPA made clarifying
amendments to the requirements for areas undergoing redesignation. U.S. EPA adopted
the rules on April 28, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 20934). (See memo of May 18, 1995.)
U.S. EPA established the 40 CFR 51 vehicle I/M rules on November 2, 1992 (57
As to the waiver requirements, U.S. EPA has extended the deadline for full
implementation of the waiver expenditure requirements until January, 1998, allowing the
states to establish any minimum expenditure requirements they choose. Further, states
may apply repair expenditures incurred within 60 days prior to an emissions test to the
waiver expenditure, and the bar is removed from receiving more than a single hardship
exemption during the lifetime of a vehicle.
As to the enhanced I/M requirements, a state can use the low enhanced I/M test if
it can show that an area can achieve the RFP objectives for carbon monoxide or ozone, as
applicable, without the benefits of the high enhanced I/M test regime. This low enhanced
I/M alternative was designed for areas that do not have a major mobile source component
to their air quality problem or those that can attain sufficient emissions reductions from
other sources to meet the 15% VOM emission reduction requirement (15% ROP) and
demonstrate compliance with the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS).
In addition to the adopted waiver and low enhanced I/M amendments, U.S. EPA
adopted amendment of the enhanced I/M performance standard to correct the omission of
a visual inspection for pre-1984 vehicles. This was in response to the remand in NRDC
v. EPA, 22 F.3d 1125 (D.C. Cir. 1994). The visual inspection is of the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve of all 1968 through 1971 light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks
and of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve of all 1972 through 1983 light-duty
vehicles and light-duty trucks.
The amendment of the population threshold, based on a 1990 census, to 200,000
would essentially revert the minimum population requirements to the levels that existed
before the CAAA. The amendments relating to areas undergoing redesignation from
nonattainment to attainment clarify amendments of January 5, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 1738).
These amendments clarify that an area that is eligible for redesignation does not need to
implement or upgrade an I/M program if it experiences a violation of an NAAQS.
Rather, the state can select whatever measures it deems appropriate to quickly bring the
area into attainment. However, U.S. EPA will still require that the I/M program be
among the measures from which the state may choose.
(Editor's note: The Board adopted rules relating to the high enhanced I/M
program on December 1, 1994 under dockets R94-19 and R94-20. See issue 490, Jan.,
1995. R94-19 was a "fast-track" proceeding, and it involved vehicle engine exhaust
emissions. R94-20, and identical-in-substance proceeding, involved fuel evaporative
emissions.)
Emission Standards for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations
On September 19, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 48388), U.S. EPA adopted reasonably
available control technology (RACT) requirements to limit the emission of volatile
1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 16801). (See memo of April 13, 1995.) U.S. EPA anticipates
reductions of about 4,565 tons per year of HAPs and 42,900 tons of VOCs after 1999, at a
nationwide cost of between $60 and $100 million for existing facilities and a total cost of
between $266 and $440 million.
(Editor's note: The Board adopted the R94-15 Part II proposal on October 20,
1994, which extended VOM emissions control measures to the loading of marine vessels.
U.S. EPA approved the Part II ROP amendments on August 18, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg.
43244).)
Approval of Illinois VMT Plan
On September 21, 1995, U.S. EPA granted state implementation plan (SIP)
approval, effective October 23, 1995, for the Chicago area vehicle miles travelled (VMT)
plan. The federal notice states that Illinois has implemented 127 transportation control
measures (TCMs) that will result in vehicle emission reductions of more than two tons of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) per day in the affected area.
Section 182(d)(1)(A) of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) requires states to submit
transportation control strategies and TCMs for areas designated as severe ozone
nonattainment to offset growth in vehicle miles travelled (VMT). U.S. EPA interprets
three elements to this requirement. The first, emissions offsets, was due on November
15, 1992. The second element, a VMT offset to comply with the 15 percent reasonable
further progress (RFP) requirements, was due on November 15, 1993. The final element,
which requires the VMT offset SIP to comply with post-1996 RFP was due on November
15, 1994. Illinois submitted the documentation to U.S. EPA to support the VMT offset
SIP on July 14, 1994. U.S. EPA proposed SIP approval of the first and second elements
on December 6, 1994 (at 59 Fed. Reg. 62649). (See memo of December 19, 1994.) U.S.
EPA stated on the third element that if its evaluation indicates that Illinois will have to
submit further TCMs, U.S. EPA will be required to re-evaluate the second element, the
VMT offset.
Illinois demonstrated to U.S. EPA that vehicles will not increase through 2007
with the anticipated annual growth in VMT at the rate of 2.7 percent. If the
socioeconomic assumptions built into this projection prove in error, Illinois will be
required to monitor actual VMT growth on a triennial basis beginning in 1996. The
Chicago Area Transportation Study (CATS), the metropolitan planning organization for
the area, studied TCMs and anticipated emissions reductions, and the state has
implemented 111 TCMs based on the study. 127 TCMs are incorporated into the Illinois
SIP, which are anticipated to reduce VOC emissions by an aggregated 2.78 tons per day
(tpd). Illinois will use 2.0 tpd to fulfill the 15 percent RFP requirement; the remaining
0.78 tpd will apply towards post-1996 RFP. Among the TCMs in the SIP are vanpool
7503), by which the state will review all new major pollutant sources for issuance of
CAA permits in nonattainment areas.
The NSR rules are the amendments adopted by the Board on April 22, 1993, in
docket R92-21, and corrected a typographical error in the rules on March 31, 1994, in
docket R93-26. (See issues 470, May 19, 1993 & 481, Apr., 1994.) U.S. EPA had
proposed conditional approval or, in the alternative, disapproval of the rules on
September 23, 1994 (60 Fed. Reg. 49779) due to cited defects in the rules. U.S. EPA
perceived no problems with the language of the R92-21 regulations themselves. Rather,
the problem is with two Board opinion interpretations of a certain provision, Section
203.209(b), set forth in the Board's April 22, 1993 opinion and order. U.S. EPA stated
that it would approve the NSR regulations if the Board withdrew its interpretations.
Alternatively, U.S. EPA stated that it would disapprove the Illinois NSR SIP if the Board
interpretations remained unchanged at the time of final U.S. EPA action. On February
16, 1995, the Board withdrew segments of its April 22, 1993 final opinion and order in
R92-21, which satisfied U.S. EPA, resulting in federal approval of the Illinois NSR rules.
U.S. EPA approved the NSR rules despite two other features that it earlier cited as
deficiencies. First, U.S. EPA approved a switch from a dual definition of stationary
source to a plantwide definition because it did not perceive that this substitution will
affect the state's ability to come into compliance. Second, the fact that the state does not
have authority under the rules to review major new sources of particulate matter (PM)
precursors did not affect the decision to approve the SIP revision. The PM nonattainment
areas of the state are McCook, Lake Calumet, LaSalle, and Granite City. U.S. EPA
analyzed these areas and concluded that PM precursors did not significantly contribute to
the PM problems they had. For this reason, U.S. EPA granted its approval
notwithstanding this lack of authority.
Approval of Illinois Part IV 15% ROP
On September 27, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 49770), U.S. EPA approved major
segments of Illinois' Part IV 15% reduction of pollution (ROP) plan by a direct final rule.
The approval will become effective November 27, 1995 unless earlier withdrawn by U.S.
EPA. U.S. EPA published the associated notice of proposed rule on the same date (60
Fed. Reg. 49814).
The Board adopted the Part IV 15% ROP amendments on April 20, 1995, under
docket R94-21. The Part IV amendments lowered the VOM content of coatings for
several categories of surface coaters: the can, paper, coil, fabric, vinyl, metal furniture,
baked large appliance, and miscellaneous parts and products coating categories. The Part
IV amendments also imposed reductions in VOM emissions from sources in the
automotive/transportation and business machine plastic parts coating categories that
The segment of the Part IV 15% ROP amendments approved by U.S. EPA were
those pertaining to SOCMI air oxidation process emissions. The Part IV amendments
extend the applicability of the SOCMI air oxidation process rules to existing processes
with a total resource effectiveness (TRE) between 1.0 and 6.0 effective December 31,
1999. The amendments caused the rules to apply to new processes with a TRE less than
6.0 upon startup. The rules already required compliance of process units with a TRE of
1.0 or less. Once a source becomes subjected to the requirements, it will remain
subjected to them despite any operational changes that increase the TRE above 6.0.
Issuance of General Stormwater Discharge Permit for Industrial Activities
U.S. EPA issued a general permit for industrial stormwater discharges on
September 29, 1989 (60 Fed. Reg. 50804). The permit governs stormwater discharges
associated with industrial activity, including discharges through large and medium
municipal separate stormwater sewer systems. Included in the permit are discharges from
a myriad of industrial facilities in 29 categories. Included in the general permit are
effluent limitations, permit conditions, and compliance options for each of the categories.
U.S. EPA established its definition of "storm water discharge associated with
industrial activity" on November 16, 1990 (55 Fed. Reg. 47990), along with permit
application requirements for such discharges. U.S. EPA allowed three permit options:
individual permit applications, participation in a group permit application, or coverage
under a general permit. The group permit applications were due in separate segments,
with the Part 1 application due on September 30, 1991 and Part 2 due on October 1, 1992.
The general permit issued was the result of the 1,200 group Part 1 permit applications
received to cover 60,000 facilities. The permit covers sources in states that are not fully
authorized to issue NPDES permits. It does not apply to sources in Illinois, since Illinois
is NPDES-authorized. However, U.S. EPA encourages the authorized states to use the
general permit if they have the authority to do so.
U.S. EPA estimates that nationwide there are about 100,000 facilities that
discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Due to the administrative
burden of permitting these facilities, U.S. EPA is pursuing a tiered approach. Under Tier
I, baseline permitting, U.S. EPA will issue one or more general permits to cover the
majority of the discharges. Under Tier II, watershed permitting, U.S. EPA will target
watersheds adversely impacted by the discharges and issue the necessary general permits
on a watershed-specific basis. U.S. EPA will issue industry-specific general permits
under Tier III, industry-specific permitting. Finally, Tier IV, facility-specific permitting,
will target specific targets for permitting. U.S. EPA issued the general permit in
implementing Tier I.
stated that certain organic peroxide manufacturing wastes are inherently unstable and
cannot be safely contained in closed units or systems; they can undergo spontaneous,
rapid thermal decomposition and hydrolysis at ambient temperatures or below. Once
initiated, these self-accelerating reactions rapidly generate large volumes of organic
gasses and oxygen. Confinement under these conditions, according to U.S. EPA can
result in explosion, detonation, and/or fire.
(Editor's note: The Board adopted the Subpart CC regulations and the later stay in
the R95-4/R95-6 RCRA Subtitle C/UIC update on June 1, 1995. See issue 495, June-
July, 1995.)

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 October 1, 1995.
*
Indicates public water supplies which have been added to the list since the
previous publication.
**
Indicates actions are being taken by officials
to bring the public water supply into
compliance.

Division of Public Water Supplies
Critical Review List -- Public Water Supplies
The Critical Review List was developed to give additional notification to officials of
public water supplies which may be close to being in violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code,
Subtitle F: Public Water Supplies, Chapter I or the Illinois Environmental Protection Act.
A supply will be placed on the Critical Review List when Agency records indicate that it
is approaching any of the violations which would place it on the Restricted Status List.
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 October 1, 1995.
*
Indicates public water supplies which have been added to the list since the
previous publication.
**
Indicates actions are being taken by officials to br
ing the public water supply into
compliance.
