essage From The Desk Of

Chairman Manning

I am proud to announce that the

Illinois Pollution Control Board

(IPCB) and the Illinois Environ-

mental Protection Agency (IEPA)

have undertaken a joint project to

place Title 35 of the Illinois Ad-

ministrative Code (Ill. Adm. Code)

of the Ill. Adm. Code contains the

core environmental rules and

regulations of the State of Illinois.

These rules will be available in

both a viewable format and as

downloadable files.

oard Affirms Permit

Denials Based on Repeated

Violations of the Act and

Regulations

On March 21, 1996, in a case

of first impression, the Board

affirmed the Illinois

Environmental Protection

Agency’s decision denying seven

permits to landfill operator, ESG

Watts, Inc. (Watts) based on

Watts’ history of repeated

violations of the Illinois

Environmental Protection Act and

regulations. In reviewing Watts’

record of numerous violations at

three landfills (Sangamon Valley,

Viola and Taylor Ridge), the Board

determined that the Agency

properly invoked Section 39(i) to

deny supplemental waste stream

permits for Taylor Ridge. Section

39(i) provides for such denials if

oard Affirms Permit Denials Based on

Repeated Violations of the Act and Regulations

(Cont’d from p. 1)

of the prospective waste operator’s prior experience dem-

onstrates “repeated violations of federal, State or local

law, regulations, standards, or ordinances in the opera-

tion of refuse disposal facilities or sites.”

In denying the permits, the Agency cited to a Sanga-

mon County Circuit Court decision finding Watts in vio-

lation of over 100 statutory and regulatory environmental

provisions at Sangamon Valley Landfill (

People v. Watts

Trucking, et al.

No. 91-CH-242 (Cir. Ct. Sangamon Cty

Feb. 2, 1994). The Agency also cited to 19 Board-

adjudicated administrative citations finding Watts liable

for 44 violations of Section 21(o) of the Act at the three

landfills.

The Sangamon Valley Landfill permit denial in-

volved violations concerning the landfill’s vertical and

horizontal permitted disposal limits, the liner, leaching

and groundwater problems over a three-year period. Im-

portant to the Board’s decision, the circuit court assessed

a $350,000 penalty to bring Watts into immediate com-

pliance. The Board held that the Agency’ s reliance on

the Sangamon Valley Landfill litigation to deny the per-

mits was proper because the adjudicated violations were

severe, recent and because, Watts exerted control as the

operator over the Sangamon Valley Landfill, all points

which Watts did not dispute.

The Board further agreed that it was proper for the

Agency to rely on the 19 administrative citations in its

denial decision. Because the Agency is specifically

charged in Section 39(i) evaluations with reviewing an

applicant’s management experience, the citations provide

the Agency with a relevant picture of Watts’ operational

control over the landfills. While agreeing that no single

citation, nor any handful, is sufficient to warrant permit

denial, the Board agreed that in this case, the adminis-

trative citations were not too minor to be factored into

Watts’ operational history and, together with the Sanga-

mon Valley Landfill litigation, warranted permit denial.

The Board indicated that the procedures used by the

Agency in evaluating Watts’ operational history might

lead to an inconsistent application of Section 39(i).

Watts challenged the Agency’s Section 39(i) evaluations

for, among other reasons, being conducted in an arbitrary

manner, based on the permit reviewer’s discretion rather

than on standardized practices. Unlike the rules in place

governing the Agency’s consideration of prior conduct

certification for senior waste management operating per-

sonnel (Section 22.5 and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 745.141), no

rules are in place standardizing the Agency’s Section

39(i) evaluations which are statutorily designed to take

into account the same considerations relevant for prior

conduct certification (

e.g

. history of repeated violations,

etc.). The Board found that while it might benefit the

Agency if it expects to prevail upon review of Section

39(i) decisions in the future to develop a more consistent

process or more specific standards, the majority could not

agree that the procedures used in this case called for a

reversal of the Agency’s decision, in light of the severity

of the repeated violations.

Also noteworthy in the decision is the Board’s rejec-

tion of both parties’ suggestion that the Board review

Section 39(i) decisions under the extremely deferential

arbitrary and capricious standard normally reserved for

judicial review of Board rulemakings. Instead, the ma-

jority determined that because of the “administrative

continuum” between the Agency and the Board, it is ap-

propriate that the Agency’s Section 39(i) decisions be

accorded the same level of deference normally applied in

permit appeal reviews. The Board held that in Section

39(i)-based decisions, the record on review would not

only be the operating history of the permit applicant, but

the Agency’s analysis thereof, and that the burden of

proof would continue to be on the petitioner to demon-

strate that the Agency incorrectly determined that denial

was warranted.

tion Control Board, Beardstown Area Citizens For A

Better Environment, and the City of Beardstown, an

Illinois Municipal Corporation

, Fourth District slip op

March 15, 1996.

1

On September 17, 1993, Southwest Energy Corpora-

tion (S.E.C.) filed an application with the city of Beard-

stown (City) for local siting of a nonhazardous waste-to-

energy incinerator. The City approved the siting and the

Beardstown Area Citizens for a Better Environment ap-

pealed the approval to the Board. The Board reversed the

City’s decision finding a lack of fundamental fairness in

the hearing process. S.E.C. appealed the Board’s which

was then affirmed by the fourth district appellate court.

Under Section 40.1 of the Act the Board is required to

consider the fundamental fairness of the procedures used

by the local governing body in reaching its decision on a

siting application. In the instant case, after the siting

application was filed, John Kirby the president of S.E.C.

contacted the City’s economic development administrator

and offered to pay for ten people to visit an incinerator

located in Massachusetts (SEMASS). The trip took place

in October of 1993 after the siting application was filed.

Six aldermen, the mayor and his wife, a newspaper re-

porter, and the economic development administrator at-

tended. S.E.C. and/or its partners paid for all expenses

including airline tickets, rental cars, meals, and lodging.

The participants of the trip took a tour of the SE-

MASS facility, met with local officials, and also with

officials of Energy Answers, the corporation which owns

the SEMASS facility. During their free time, some of the

trip participants spoke to local residents about the facility

and others went to Plymouth Rock. In general the city

council members were favorably impressed by the SE-

MASS facility. However, the members who testified at

the Board hearing stated that their votes were not based

upon what they saw during the tour.

The Board found that the hearing process was funda-

mentally unfair because the trip to SEMASS was im-

proper. In its decision the Board held that because the

general public was excluded from the tour, the incinera-

1

This case will be cited as S.E.C./Beardstown

tor opponents were prejudiced because they couldn’t ap-

propriately address all of the impressions formed by the

council members who partic

ipated in the trip.

The appellate court affirmed the Board and reiterated

the Board’s finding that the case was controlled by

Southwest Energy v. Pollution Control Board

, 275 Ill.

App. 3d 84 (1995) (

S.E.C./Havana

). The facts in the

S.E.C./Havana

case were similar to the instant case.

However, in

S.E.C./Havana

, councilmen favoring the

incinerator went on the trip while those opposed to it did

not participate even though an effort was made to include

them. As in the instant case, the trip was paid for by the

applicant. The Board found in the

S.E.C./Havana

case

that the trip contributed to the fundamental unfairness of

the hearing process. On appeal, the Fourth District af-

firmed the Board’s findings in

S.E.C./Havana

. In

S.E.C./Beardsown

, the court found that the opponents

were prejudiced by not being included in the trip and that

there must be “a bona fide effort to include representa-

tives of those opposed to the siting application” in such

trips.

S.E.C./Beardstown

,

supra

, slip op. at 6. Addition-

ally, the court stated that although an applicant may pay

for the expenses of a trip like the one in this case, they

must not do so directly. Instead, the local governing

body should pay for the tour and be reimbursed by the

applicant pursuant to section 39.2(k) of the Act. Section

39.2(k) allows governing bodies to charge applicants a

reasonable fee to cover the “reasonable and necessary

costs incurred by such county or municipality in the sit-

ing review process.” (415 ILCS 39.2(k) (1994).)

pecial Waste Vehicle Number Amendments

Adopted, R95-11

The Board adopted amendments to the Illinois spe-

cial waste hauling regulations on March 7, 1996. The

amendments replace the existing requirement for mark-

ing transport vehicles with a special waste hauler permit

number with a requirement that documentation indicat-

ing the permit number accompany the vehicle. A letter

from the American Trucking Association (ATA) raised

the issue of whether Section 809.401 of the special

waste hauling regulations may have been preempted by

the 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. The Board opened a docket to consider

amendment of the special waste hauler requirements of

the land pollution control regulations on March 16,

1995 and authorized two hearings in the matter. (See

issue 493, Apr., 1995.) It held public hearings on the

proposed amendments on June 7, 1995, in Chicago, and

June 21, 1995, in Springfield, and proposed the

amendments for First Notice publication in the Illinois

Register on September 7, 1995. (See issue 497, Oct.,

1995.) A Notice of Proposed Amendments appeared in

the September 22, 1995 issue of the Register. The

Board proposed the amendments for Second Notice re-

view by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules

(JCAR) on December 20, 1995. (See issue 500, Jan.,

1996.) JCAR submitted a Certificate of No Objection

dated February 20, 1996, leaving the Board free to

adopt the amendments.

retreatment Update Amendments Adopted,

R95-22

On March 21, 1996, the Board adopted update

amendments to the wastewater pretreatment regulations.

The amendments, adopted under docket R95-22, are

based on revisions to the federal regulations that oc-

curred in the period January 1 through June 30, 1995.

During this time, USEPA undertook two actions, on

April 4 and June 29, 1995. The April 4 federal

amendments updated the analytical procedures of 40

CFR 136, which apply to Clean Water Act programs.

The Illinois wastewater pretreatment regulations incor-

porate 40 CFR 136 by reference. The June 29, 1995

federal amendments were the deletion of obsolete, re-

dundant, and outdated rules by USEPA. The Board

based amendments on both sets of federal amendments.

The Board proposed the update amendments for

public comment on December 20, 1995. Notices of

Proposed Amendments appeared in the Illinois Register

on January 19, 1996. The public comment period ended

45 days after the date of publication, on March 4, 1996,

at which time the Board was free to adopt the amend-

ments. The amendments were effective when filed with

the Secretary of State. Direct questions to Diane F.

O'Neill, at 312-814-6062 (Internet address:

M10 Cleanup Amendments Proposed For Sec-

ond Notice, R96-5

On March 7, 1996, the Board proposed amendments

to the Illinois air pollution control rules pertaining to

particulate matter having a diameter of less than 10 mi-

crons (PM10) for Second Notice review by the Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The

amendments address USEPA concerns over the existing

state PM10 rules. The proposed amendments would

make a number of clarifying changes to the regulations.

They would also add discrete opacity limits for basic

oxygen furnace shop, coke oven combustion stack, and

electric arc furnace roof ventilator emissions.

The federal Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in

1990, requires the submission of a state implementation

plan (SIP) for PM10 for all areas classified by USEPA

as moderate nonattainment for PM10. The Lake Calu-

met, McCook, and Granite City areas in Illinois are so

classified by USEPA. Based on an Agency proposal,

the Board adopted the PM10 regulations for those areas

on April 9, 1992, in docket R91-35. (See issue 450,

Apr. 22, 1992.) The Agency submitted the rules to

USEPA for SIP review, and USEPA granted its condi-

tional approval of the SIP on November 18, 1994 (at 59

Fed. Reg. 59653), after receiving a March 2, 1994

commitment letter by the Agency to correct certain de-

ficiencies in the program within one year. USEPA con-

---

April, 1996

ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER No. 503

ditioned the approval because it perceived certain defi-

ciencies in the Illinois PM10 SIP submittal. These defi-

ciencies were described by USEPA in the Federal Reg-

ister as summarized below:

1.

Illinois had underestimated certain emissions of

Granite City Steel, Acme Steel, LTV Steel, CWM

Chemical Services, CPC International, and GM Elec-

tromotive Division;

2.

Illinois' submittal had not adequately addressed

maintenance of the national ambient air quality standard

(NAAQS) for PM10 in the nonattainment areas;

3.

Section 212.443(a) of the rules exempted coke ovens

from the opacity limitations, which served to delay en-

forcement of mass loading violations by LTV Steel;

4.

The rules that apply to electric arc furnace roof vents

of American Steel Foundries were unenforceable be-

cause the stacks could not be tested;

5.

Section 212.107 of the rules could have been misin-

terpreted as requiring the use of Method 22 to test

opacity limits;

6.

The measurement methods set forth in each of Sec-

tions 212.107 through 212.110 were not always consis-

tent (and should have been integrated into Section

212.110); and

7.

Several exemptions from mass limitations intended

for small, well-controlled sources with no visible emis-

sions could have been misinterpreted to exclude other

sources (and should be clarified as to what sources and

when they apply in the opinion of USEPA).

The Agency proposed and the Board accepted these

amendments pursuant to the "fast-track" provisions of

Section 28.5 of the Act. Section 28.5 requires the

Board to proceed within set time-frames toward the

adoption of the proposed amendments. The Board lacks

any discretion under the statute to adjust these time-

frames under any circumstances. Under Section

28.5(o), the Board must have adopted the proposal for

Second Notice within 130 days on receipt of the pro-

posal from the Agency. Section 28.5(p) requires that

the Board must adopt and file final rules based on the

proposal within 21 days of when it receives a Certificate

of No Objection from JCAR.

On November 14, 1995, the Board proposed the

amendments to the Illinois PM10 regulations for First

Notice and scheduled hearings on the proposed rules. A

Notice of Proposed Amendments appeared in the De-

cember 1, 1995 Illinois Register. The 45-day First No-

tice public comment period expired on January 15,

1996. A public hearing occurred on January 5, 1996

and two subsequent scheduled hearings were canceled

because the level of public interest did not warrant pro-

ceeding with them. The record closed on January 31,

1996.

The Second Notice review period begins when JCAR

receives the Second Notice package. It will expire after

45 days or when JCAR submits a Certificate of No Ob-

jection pertaining to the amendments, whichever comes

first. The Board will then be free to adopt the amend-

ments without substantive revision, except in response

to comments from JCAR. Direct questions to the hear-

ing officer, Marie E. Tipsord, at 312-814-4925 or 618-

riennial Water Quality Review Amendments

Proposed For Second Notice, R94-1(A)

The Board proposed amendments to the Illinois wa-

ter quality regulations for Second Notice review by the

Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The

amendments are based on a mandatory triennial review

of the Illinois stream water quality regulations con-

ducted by the Illinois EPA (Agency), as required under

the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et

seq.). The larger Agency proposal would amend Parts

302 and 304 of the Water Pollution Control regulations

to revise the standards for ammonia nitrogen, mercury,

and lead general water quality standards; secondary

contact and indigenous aquatic life standards; and other

regulations. The segment of the proceeding involved in

subdocket R94-1(A) relates to mercury and lead. The

segment of the proceeding involved in subdocket R94-

1(B) relates to ammonia nitrogen.

The Agency filed the proposal, docketed by the

Board as R94-1, on February 24, 1994, and the Board

accepted it on March 17, 1994. The Board decided to

proceed on the proposal as a Section 28.2 federally re-

quired rule on May 5, 1994. The Board proposed

amendments based on the R94-1 proposal for First No-

tice publication in the Illinois Register on September 15,

1994, and Notices of Proposed Amendments appeared

in the Register on September 30, 1994. The Board held

a pre-hearing conference on the proposal in on Novem-

ber 10 and 22, 1994 and January 26 and November 8,

1995. The Board severed the docket on January 4,

1996, when it proposed the subdocket R94-1(A)

amendments for First Notice publication in the Illinois

Register. A Notice of Proposed Amendments appeared

in the January 26, 1996 Register. The 45-day public

comment period ended on March 11, 1996.

The Second Notice review period begins when JCAR

receives the Second Notice package. It will expire after

jection pertaining to the amendments, whichever comes

first. The Board will then be free to adopt the amend-

ments without substantive revision, except in response

eserved Identical-In-Substance Dockets Dis-

missed, R96-7 & R96-9; Docket Reserved For

Recent Federal Amendment to the Definition of

VOM, R96-16

The Board dismissed two routine reserved identical-

in-substance update dockets on March 7, 1996 and re-

served a third docket on March 21, 1996. The dockets

dismissed were R96-7, pertaining to the Illinois SDWA

drinking water program, and R96-9, pertaining to the

Illinois RCRA Subtitle D municipal solid waste landfill

program. The Board dismissed the reserved dockets

upon determining that the only federal amendments that

occurred in the covered update period of July 1 through

December 31, 1995 did not require Board action. The

Board reserved docket R96-16 in response to a public

comment filed March 13, 1996 by the Halogenated Sol-

vents Industry Alliance, Inc. expressing interest in a

February 7, 1996 federal amendment to the definition of

volatile organic material (VOM) to exclude perchloro-

ethylene from regulation as VOM.

The only federal amendments that could have poten-

tially affected the state SDWA program occurred on

August 2 and October 16, 1995. Those amendments

affected the federal CWA analytical methods of 40 CFR

136, which is partially incorporated by reference into

the Illinois SDWA rules. The Board determined that no

action was necessary based on those two actions because

they affected segments of those methods that the Board

had not incorporated.

The only federal RCRA Subtitle D amendments

during the period, which occurred on August 7 and Oc-

tober 6, 1995, similarly did not require Board action.

Those of August 7 corrected erroneous cross-references

in the federal financial assurance rules that the Board

did not appear in the Illinois regulations. Those of Oc-

tober 6 extended the compliance deadline for two types

of small landfills that do not occur in Illinois: some in

remote areas and others in dry areas.

On February 15, 1996, the Board similarly dis-

missed three reserved identical-in-substance dockets for

the July 1 through December 31, 1995 period because

no amendments were warranted. These were R96-6,

reserved for amendments to the definition of volatile

organic material (VOM); R96-8, reserved for under-

ground injection control (UIC) amendments; and R96-

11, reserved for underground storage tank (UST)

amendments. Although USEPA amended the federal

UST rules on September 7, 1995, those related to the

lender liability aspects of the financial responsibility

rules, an area outside the scope of the Board's UST

identical-in-substance mandate.

The Board had reserved the three dockets, along

with four others, at its meeting of December 20, 1995,

for the routine identical-in-substance updates to various

programs. (See issue 500, Jan., 1996.) The two re-

maining reserved dockets that are still open, and their

associated regulatory programs, are as follows:

R96-10 Hazardous waste (RCRA Subtitle C) update

R96-12 Wastewater pretreatment update

These two update dockets will include all federal

amendments to the programs that occurred in the period

July 1 through December 31, 1995. The Board is aware

of amendments to both of the federal hazardous waste

and wastewater pretreatment regulations during the pe-

riod that will require amendments under the two dock-

ets.

Although the Board would not normally reserve a

docket for federal actions during the period of January 1

through June 30, 1996 until the end of the update pe-

riod, the Board chose to do so for a February 7, 1996

federal action. The Board reserved docket R96-16 in

response to a public comment filed March 13, 1996 by

the Halogenated Solvents Industry Alliance, Inc. ex-

pressing interest in the February 7 amendment to the

definition of volatile organic material (VOM) to exclude

perchloroethylene from regulation as VOM. The com-

ment did not request expedited consideration, so the

Board presently intends to defer proposal of a corre-

sponding amendment of the Illinois definition of VOM

until after the update period has ended. This will allow

the Board to include any further federal actions that may

occur during the period.

estricted Status And Critical Review Lists For Public

Water Supplies In This Issue

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Div

ision of

Public Water Supplies, is publishing copies of the Division's R

e-

stricted Status and Critical Review lists at the end of this issue of

the Environmental Register. These lists reflect the status as of

April 1, 1996.

IGNIFICANT RECENT FEDERAL ACTIONS

The Board continues its series of reports on r

ecent federal

actions from the

Federal Register

that are of interest to the Board

and the regulated community. Below are highlighted 18 such

actions that occurred in March, 1996:

ill-Tube Restriction Requirements Withdrawn from

Leaded Gasoline Requirements Repeal

On March 4, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 8221), USEPA partially

withdrew the direct final rule of February 2, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg.

3832) that repealed the requirements for sale of unleaded gasoline.

As a result, the automobile unleaded fuel fill-tube restriction

requirement will remain in effect, while the rest of the

requirements will remain repealed. USEPA retained the fill-tube

requirement as a result of adverse comment relating to its repeal.

On February 2, USEPA amended its fuels and fuel additives

regulations to ban lead as a motor fuel additive, effective January

1, 1996. The action also repealed the former recordkeeping and

reporting requirements for refiners and importers and the

requirement that automobile manufacturers place labels near the

fill tube and on the dashboard of cars that says "unleaded fuel

only". The repeal of these other provisions became effective

March 4, 1996. USEPA undertook the repeals as a result of the

January 1, 1996 ban imposed by the Clean Air Act, as amended in

1990. (See issue 502, Mar., 1996.)

roposed Restrictions on Servicing Vehicle Air

Conditioners Using Class I and Class II Ozone-

Depleting Substances

On March 6, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 9014), USEPA proposed

further restrictions on servicing motor vehicle air conditioning

systems that use Class I or Class II ozone-depleting substances.

The restrictions, proposed under Section 609 of the Clean Air Act,

would establish standards for the servicing of air conditioning

systems that use Class I or Class II substances other than CFC-12;

that use HFC-134a, non-ozone-depleting substance; or that use any

substitute for a Class I or Class II substance. Regulations adopted

July 14, 1992 (57 Fed. Reg. 31241) and supplemented May 2,

1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 21682) established restrictions and standards

for servicing vehicle air conditioners containing CFC-12 and for

recovering and recycling used CFC-12 from those units.

The proposed regulations would also establish standards for

recovering used refrigerant from vehicles destined for disposal,

whether at service facilities or disposal facilities. They would

further explicitly establish standards for and allow mobile recovery

and recycling services. The amendments would establish

standards for HFC-134a recycling; for recovery of FRIGC and

other refrigerants, approved under the Significant New Alternative

Policy (SNAP); for common circuit recovery of CFC-12 and HPF-

134a; and for independent certification of FRIGC and HFC-134a

recover/recycle and recover-only equipment. Certain amendments

would pertain to recover/recycle and recover-only equipment

operator certification.

isclosure Requirement for Known Lead-Based Paint

Hazards in Residential Property

On March 6, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 9064), USEPA and the

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) jointly

issued regulations that will require the seller or lessor of residential

housing to disclose known lead-based paint hazards. The

requirements apply to facilities constructed prior to the 1978 ban

on leaded paint. New Subpart H was added to 24 CFR 35 (HUD)

and new 40 CFR 745 (USEPA). They are substantively identical

and become effective on September 6, 1996, for owners of more

than four residential dwellings, and on December 6, 1996, for

owners of fewer than four dwellings. USEPA and HUD took the

actions under Section 1018 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint

Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. § 4852d).

The new rules require the owner to disclose the presence of

known lead-based paint hazards, provide the purchaser or lessee

with any known records or reports pertaining to the presence of

lead-based paint, provide the purchaser or lessee with a federally-

approved lead-based paint hazard pamphlet, and to allow the

purchaser or lessee 10 days to conduct a risk assessment or

inspection of the property before the purchaser or lessee is

obligated by contract. The rules also require that lease contracts

include certain language relating to lead-based paint disclosure and

acknowledgment, and agents must assure compliance.

evisions to Proposed Pulp and Paper NESHAP

On March 8, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 9383), USEPA

announced the availability of additional information on its

December 17, 1993 (58 Fed. Reg. 66078) proposed national

emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the

pulp and paper industry. The announcement included proposed

additional sources in the category that were not included in the

1993 proposal: mechanical mills, secondary fiber mills, nonwood

fiber mills, and paper machines. It further indicated revisions in

USEPA's proposed emission factors based on the new data.

eletion of Obsolete Oil and Hazardous Substance

Discharge Rules

On March 11, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 9646), USEPA deleted

provisions from its Clean Water Act (CWA) rules pertaining to

releases of oil and hazardous substances. More specifically, the

---

ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER No. 503

9

deleted regulations pertained to violations that occurred prior to the

Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA). OPA amended CWA § 311 to

limit penalties and revise the administrative proceedings. USEPA

undertook this action in response to the March 4, 1995 Presidential

mandate that executive agencies review their rules and delete

obsolete and outdated provisions. USEPA was unaware of any

pending actions involving pre-OPA violations.

unicipal Solid Waste Landfill NSPS and EG

On March 12, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 9905), US

EPA

established a new source performance standard (NSPS) and

guideline for control of existing sources (EG) for municipal solid

waste landfills (MSWLFs) under section 111(b) and (d) of the

Clean Air Act (CAA). The emissions of concern are non-methane

compounds (NMOC) and methane. NMOC includes volatile

organic compound (VOC or VOM), hazardous air pollutant

(HAP), and odorous compound emissions. USEPA said that

NMOC emissions from MSWLFs contain over 100 compounds,

including vinyl chloride, toluene, and benzene. Some of these

participate in tropospheric ozone formation, some are known or

suspected carcinogens or cause other health effects, and others can

create an odor nuisance. Although not an ozone precursor,

methane is a greenhouse gas that participates in global warming,

and its presence poses a threat of fire. USEPA stated that it is still

studying mercury emissions from MSWLFs.

Facilities affected under the NSPS are "new MSWLFs": those

for which construction, modification, or reconstruction occurred

after May 30, 1991, and those that began accepting waste after

that date. The MSWLFs affected by the EG are "existing

MSWLFs": those for which construction began prior to May 30,

1991 that accepted waste after November 8, 1987. May 30, 1991

was the date USEPA's notice of proposed rules appeared in the

Federal Register (56 Fed. Reg. 24468). November 8, 1987 was

three years after the effective date of the Hazardous and Solid

Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) (Pub. L. 98-616, 98 Stat.

3268), the deadline for states to have established landfill permit

programs under section 4005(c)(1)(A) of Subtitle D of the

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA Subtitle

D). (42 U.S.C. § 69455(c)(1)(A).) USEPA had initially

considered regulation of MSWLF emissions under RCRA Subtitle

D, but instead elected to do so under the CAA.

An existing MSWLF having a design capacity less than 2.5

million tonnes or cubic meters (2.8 million tons or 3.3 millions

cubic yards) of waste per year must file a design capacity report;

one with a greater design capacity is subject to additional

provisions of the EG or the NSPS. The facilities subject to the EG

or NSPS must annually calculate their NMOC emission rate. If

the NMOC emissions are greater than 50 tonnes (55 tons) per

year, the owner or operator must install controls. The best

demonstrated technology (BDT) for NMOC emissions control is a

gas collection system combined with minimum 98 percent

destruction of the captured NMOC.

USEPA estimated that the NSPS would red

uce the national

annualized baseline NMOC emissions from affected MSWLFs of

13.4 tonnes (14.8 tons) by 36 percent, or 4.86 tonnes (5.36 tons),

over the first five years the rule is in effect. The NSPS was further

estimated to reduce the baseline methane emissions from affected

facilities of 899 tonnes (992 tons) by 21 percent, or 193 tonnes

(213 tons), over the five years. The annualized estimated costs of

compliance with the NSPS for the five-year period are $4 million.

USEPA estimated that the EG would

reduce the national

baseline NMOC emissions from affected MSWLFs of 145 tonnes

(160 tons) by 54 percent, or 77.6 tonnes (85.6 tons), over the first

five years of the rule. The EG was further estimated to reduce the

baseline methane emissions from affected facilities of 8,440 tonnes

(9,310 tons) by 40 percent, or 3,370 tonnes (3,720 tons), over the

five years. The estimated costs of compliance with the EG for the

five-year period are an estimated $1.278 billion.

(Note: Since USEPA did not adopt these re

gulations under

RCRA Subtitle D, these rules do not fall within the Board's

MSWLF identical-in-substance mandate. Rather, the NSPS and

EG are directly enforceable in Illinois under Section 9.1(b) of the

Act. This means that no Board rulemaking is necessary to

incorporate the MSWLF NSPS and EG into Illinois law.)

efrigerant Recycling and Purity Requirements

Temporarily Extended

On March 15, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 10676), USEPA issued a

temporary order that extends the effectiveness of certain recycled

refrigerant quality standards. It has the effect of making

immediately effective the extension adopted by a direct final rule

on February 29, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 7724), which becomes

effective April 15, 1996. (See issue 502, Mar., 1996.) Extended

was the effectiveness of the refrigerant purity requirements of the

Clean Air Act (CAA) section 608 refrigerant recycling regulations.

The recycled refrigerant quality standards are part of the May 14,

1993 (58 Fed. Reg. 28660) program for recycling and recovery of

ozone-depleting refrigerants. The extended regulations set forth

quality standards for the sale of used refrigerant. Formerly

scheduled to expire on March 18, 1996, the effectiveness of the

standards was extended until December 31, 1996.

USEPA extended the rules in response to requests from the

air-conditioning and refrigeration industry out of concern over

possible contamination of the stock of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)

and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) available. The production

of these chemicals is banned under the CAA and 40 CFR 82 out of

concern over their potential to deplete stratospheric ozone, so

replacement of these compounds in commerce is dependent on

recycled material. (See issue 495, June, 1995.) USEPA stated

that it is in the process of developing newer, more flexible

standards, which it proposed on February 29 (61 Fed. Reg. 7857),

but it will not be able to complete that proceeding prior to the

former March 18, 1996 expiration date of the existing quality

standards. (See issue 502, Mar., 1996.)

inal Authorization of Segments of Illinois Hazardous

Waste Program

On March 15, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 10684), in an immediate

final rule, USEPA authorized additional segments of the Illinois

hazardous waste program under Subtitle C of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA Subtitle C

program). The authorization is effective May 14, 1996 unless

expressly withdrawn or modified prior to that date. The rules

approved are the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of

1984 (HSWA) Cluster II, the non-HSWA Cluster VI, and the

---

ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER No. 503

April, 1996

10

RCRA Clusters I through III rules. This includes all or segments

of various rules and amendments incorporated by the Board into

the Illinois RCRA Subtitle C program from mid-1990 through

early-1994, in dockets R90-2, R90-10, R90-11, R91-1, R91-13,

R92-1, R93-4, and R93-16. The Board made these amendments

to the state program using the identical-in-substance procedure to

correspond with amendments to the federal RCRA Subtitle C

program that appeared in the Federal Register in the period July 1,

1989 through December 31, 1991 and July 1, 1992 through

December 31, 1992. Not among the approved program

amendments were those made by the Board in docket R92-10, in

early 1993, to correspond with federal amendments in the first half

of 1992.

Earlier USEPA approvals of segments of the Illinois RCRA

Subtitle C program appeared in the Federal Register on January 13,

1986 (51 Fed. Reg. 3778); January 5, 1988 (53 Fed. Reg. 126);

March 1, 1990 (55 Fed. Reg. 7320); April 3, 1991 (56 Fed. Reg.

13595); and June 14, 1994 (59 Fed. Reg. 30525). The Illinois

EPA submitted the package that resulted in the present approval to

USEPA on June 30, 1994.

SEPA Establishes Federal Facilities Compliance Act

Rule

On March 18, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 11089), USEPA

established an enforcement regulation pursuant to the Federal

Facilities Compliance Act of 1992 (FFCA), codified as section

6001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976

(RCRA Subtitle F). The FFCA authorizes USEPA to commence

administrative enforcement actions against any agency,

department, or instrumentality in any branch of the federal

government that violates RCRA. It further provides that no

administrative order against a federal governmental entity becomes

final until the head of that agency, department, or instrumentality

has had an opportunity to confer with the Secretary of USEPA.

The rule provides for those conferences.

mended Rule Allows Importation of PCBs for

Destruction

On March 18, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 11095), USEPA adopted an

amendment to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)

regulations pertaining to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The

rule allows the importation of PCBs at concentrations of 50 parts

per million (ppm) or more for disposal at concentrations lower than

50 ppm. USEPA stated that the rule would facilitate destruction of

the worldwide inventory of PCBs and confer economic benefit on

the U.S. USEPA estimated the economic benefit to U.S. industry

at $50 million to $100 million. It stated that a future proceeding

will address exportation of PCBs at concentrations greater than 50

ppm and other issues related to international transportation of

PCBs.

USEPA stated that the greatest risk involved with the rule is in

transportation of the PCB-containing materials, and it

characterized that as "little risk". The record indicated that

500,000 shipments of hazardous materials and 5,000 shipments of

hazardous waste occur daily in this country. Between January 1,

1990 and December 31, 1995 (five years), 16,074 serious

accidents occurred involving hazardous materials in transportation

and 1,923 involving hazardous waste. In the period from January

1, 1990 and November 15, 1994 (under four years), only one

serious incident involving PCBs occurred. 200,000 tons of

hazardous waste move across the U.S.-Canadian border each year.

IP Approval of Illinois Clean-Fuel Fleet Program

On March 19, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 11139), USEPA

approved the clean-fuel fleet program SIP revision in a direct final

rule. The approval is effective May 20, 1996 unless earlier

expressly withdrawn by a Federal Register notice. The

accompanying notice of proposed amendments appeared in the

same issue of the Register (61 Fed. Reg. 11168).

The Board adopted the 35 Ill. Adm. Code 241 clean-fuel fleet

program requirements on September 7, 1995, under docket R95-

12. The Illinois EPA (Agency) submitted the rules to USEPA in a

state implementation plan (SIP) revision package on September 29,

1995. The program requires fleet owners that acquire new motor

vehicles to use a specified minimum percentage of clean-fuel

vehicles (CFVs), which meet low emissions requirements

established by USEPA, as part of those fleets, beginning with

model year 1998. The program is based on a March 30, 1995

Section 28.5 "fast-track" rulemaking proposal from the Agency.

The clean-fuel fleet rules are necessitated by section 246 of the

federal Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990, which 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. Alternatively, CAA section 182 would have

allowed Illinois to opt out of the clean-fuel fleet program, had the

state submitted a SIP revision that would have resulted in equal or

greater reductions in ozone-producing and toxic air contaminants

emissions by other means. Since Illinois did not opt out of the

program, submission of a clean-fuel fleet program SIP was

required for the Chicago metropolitan area, which USEPA has

designated as a severe ozone nonattainment area.

Federal law provides for certification of three categories of

low-emission vehicles: low-emission vehicles (LEVs), ultra-low-

emission vehicles (ULEVs), and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs).

A fourth type of certified vehicle, an inherently low-emission

vehicle (ILEV) is also considered a CFV. The owner or operator

of a fleet of 10 or more motor vehicles less than 26,000 pounds

gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is subject to the program

requirements. The owner or operator must purchase and use

CFVs to replace specified portions of its fleet over a period of time.

For MY 1998, the owner or operator must reduce its fleet

emissions by 30 percent through use of LEVs, ULEVs, ZEVs, or

ILEVs. That requirement increases to 50 percent for MY 1999

and 70 percent for MY 2000. For owners of fleets of "heavy duty

vehicles", i.e., those between 8,500 and 26,000 GVWR, the

requirement is 50 percent beginning in MY 1998, and it remains at

that level. Credits are available where the owner or operator

purchases more than the required number of CFVs, by purchases

of CFVs that meet more stringent requirements than required, by

purchase of CFVs otherwise exempt from the program, or by

---

April, 1996

ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER No. 503

11

purchase of CFVs before model year (MY) 1998. Owners and

operators of CFVs must use the type of fuel for which USEPA

certified the vehicle. Since USEPA found that reformulated

gasoline is readily available in the Chicago area, it concluded that

Illinois did not need requirements for clean alternative fuels

applicable to fuel providers.

IP Approval of Illinois Exemption of Acetone from the

Definition of VOM

On March 21, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 11550), USEPA published

a direct final rule that will approve Illinois' exemption of acetone;

chlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF); and cyclic, branched, or linear

completely-methylated siloxanes from the definition of volatile

organic material (VOM). The Board adopted the newly-approved

amendments to the definition of VOM in two identical-in-

substance rulemaking proceedings, R95-2 and R95-16, that the

Agency submitted to USEPA for approval on November 14 and

15, 1995. The approval will become effective May 20, 1996

unless earlier expressly withdrawn by USEPA. The accompanying

notice of proposed amendments appeared in the same issue of the

Register (61 Fed. Reg. 11596).

The Board adopted the R95-2 identical-in-substance

exemptions of PCBTF and cyclic, branched, and linear completely-

methylated siloxanes on July 7, 1995. The R95-2 amendments

responded to a October 5, 1994 USEPA amendment of its

definition of volatile organic compound exempting PCBTF and

cyclic, branched, or linear completely-methylated siloxanes. (See

issue 496, Aug.-Sept., 1995.) On March 16, 1995, the Board

granted an Agency request for expedited consideration of the

amendments. Attached to the Agency request were letters directed

to the Agency from Occidental Chemical Corporation and Dow

Corning Corporation requesting that Illinois amend the Illinois

definition of VOM to include the new exemptions. (See issue 493,

Apr., 1995.) The Board initiated this action on April 20, 1995 by

proposing the amendments. (See issue 494, May, 1995.) The

Board conducted one public hearing on the amendments on June

14, 1995 in Chicago. They were effective on July 12, 1995.

The Board adopted the R95-16 exemption of acetone on

October 19, 1995, using the identical-in-substance procedure. The

R95-16 amendments responded to the June 16, 1995 USEPA

amendment of the corresponding federal definition to exclude

acetone. The Board gave expedited consideration to the

amendments in the realization of the importance of wide-spread

use of acetone as an industrial solvent. The Board proposed the

R95-16 amendments for public comment on July 7, 1995. The

Agency submitted a request for additional amendments on July 18,

1995, asking the Board to further amend the definitions of

"organic material", "petroleum liquid", and "organic solvent" to

exclude acetone, stating that acetone would remain subject to some

segments of the volatile organic material regulations unless also

excluded from those additional definitions. The Board proposed

those additional amendments for public comment on August 3,

1995. The Board held a public hearing on both sets of

amendments in Chicago on September 6, 1995. (See issue 498,

Nov., 1995.) The Board's amendments were effective on October

19, 1995.

omment Sought on Proposed Field Testing of a

Genetically-Engineered Microbial Pesticide

In response to a request filed by American Cyanamid

Company, on March 22, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 11838), USEPA

sought public comment of small-scale field testing of a genetically-

engineered microbial pesticide. American Cyanamid proposes

testing the efficacy of a baculovirus, Autographa californica

Multiple Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (ACMNPV), that has been

engineered to encode the insect-specific toxin from a scorpion,

Androctonus australis. The field testing would occur in 12 states,

including Illinois, on cotton, tobacco, and leafy vegetables against

the cabbage looper and tobacco budworm insect pets.

onsumer Labeling Initiative Begun

On March 22, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 12011), USEPA

announced a new voluntary initiative to enhance consumer

understanding of and adherence to the information on consumer

product labels. Of specific interest are household pesticides and

hard surface cleaners labels. USEPA noted in announcing the

initiative that the labels for pesticides frequently set forth use

information that is inconsistent with the information contained on

the label for a similar cleaning agent. On the initiative task force,

in addition to USEPA, are the federal Consumer Products Safety

Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Food and

Drug Administration; state agencies from Vermont and California;

and two associations: the American Association of Pest Control

Officials and the Forum of State and Tribal Toxic Actions.

USEPA stated that it does not anticipate regulatory amendments

through the initiative, although it concedes that a recommendation

for the amendment of the pesticide labeling requirements could

result from the initiative. Rather, the initiative seeks voluntary

private action to improve pesticide and cleaning product labeling.

ithdrawal of Chicago RACT SIP Approval to Supersede

FIP

On March 25, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 12030), USEPA withdrew

its approval of the Chicago reasonably available control technology

(RACT) state implementation plan (SIP) to replace the federal

implementation plan (FIP) for the metropolitan Chicago area.

Withdrawn was the direct final rule of January 26, 1996 (61 Fed.

Reg. 2423) in which USEPA approved the final installment of the

Chicago area ozone SIP. The rules involved are the RACT

regulations, as amended by the Board on September 9, 1993, in

R93-9, and January 6, 1994 in R93-14. The regulations apply to

certain major sources in the Chicago area for which USEPA has

not developed a Control Technology Guideline (CTG sources).

Had the January 26 approval remained in effect, the SIP would

have superseded the final elements of the federal implementation

plan (FIP) adopted by USEPA for the Chicago metropolitan area

on June 29, 1990 (55 Fed. Reg. 46562). USEPA stated that it was

withdrawing the approval in response to significant adverse public

comments it had received. USEPA intends to publish a final rule

that will address those comments.

The R93-9 amendments were a cle

anup of the existing Part

218 regulations, originally adopted by the Board in R91-7, on July

---

April, 1996

12

25, 1991. The R91-7 rules of Part 218, as amended through R93-

9, established RACT requirements for the Chicago metropolitan

area. The R93-14 amendments apply to major sources in the

Chicago metropolitan area: those that emit or have the potential to

emit 25 tons per year or more of volatile organic material (VOM).

The R93-14 established RACT requirements for two CTG source

categories and for sources for which USEPA had not developed a

CTG (non-CTG sources). The CTG sources for which RACT

requirements were adopted R93-14 were the flexographic and

rotogravure printing industry and petroleum dry cleaners. The

R93-14 amendments adopted RACT requirements for several non-

CTG sources, including the polyester resin products

manufacturing, aerosol can filling, leather coating, glass

manufacturing, and miscellaneous leaks categories. USEPA stated

that the Illinois EPA estimated a deduction in VOM emissions in

the Chicago area of 2.78 tons per day from 119 sources through

the R93-9 and R93-14 amendments.

igher Allowable Oxygen Content for Reformulated

Gasolines

On March 25, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 12030), USEPA adopted

amendments to the reformulated gasoline regulations relating to

increasing the maximum allowable oxygen content of those fuels.

Section 211(k) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (42

U.S.C. § 7545(k) specifies that USEPA was to establish

regulations requiring the use of reformulated gasolines in ozone

nonattainment areas in the ozone season. Section 211(k)(2)(B)

requires a minimum oxygen content of 2.0 percent by weight (wt

%). Determining that higher oxygen contents can contribute to

increased nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions, USEPA established

regulations, at 40 CFR 80, that limited the oxygen content of

reformulated gasolines to 2.7 wt %, unless the state had gained

approval of a higher cap of 3.5 percent by demonstrating that no

ozone exceedances had occurred in the affected area for the

preceding three years. (3.5 to 4.0 wt % oxygen content

corresponds with an approximate ethanol content of up to 10

percent by volume.) The amendments remove the maximum

oxygen content provisions of 40 CFR 80 and allow the use of

reformulated gasolines with a higher oxygen content. If a state

notifies USEPA that the use of oxygenated fuel would interfere

with attainment or maintenance of a national ambient air quality

standard (NAAQS) or contribute to an air quality problem, the

regulations then limit the oxygen content to a maximum of 3.2 wt

%.

orrection to Exclusion of Recovered Oil Exclusion from

Definition of Solid Waste

On March 26, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 13103), USEPA issued a

direct final rule that corrects the exclusion from the definition of

solid waste of recovered oil that is reintroduced to the refining

process. USEPA adopted the exclusion for recovered oil on July

28, 1994 (59 Fed. Reg. 38545). The exclusion from regulation as

solid waste (and, hence, as hazardous waste) applied to recovered

oil reintroduced to the petroleum refining process "prior to crude

distillation or catalytic cracking". The corrected exclusion requires

the insertion to the process "at or prior to a point . . . where

contaminants are removed". The amendment will become

effective on May 28, 1996 unless USEPA earlier withdraws the

amendment on prior written notice. A notice of proposed

amendments appeared in the same issue of the Register (61 Fed.

Reg. 13129).

(Note: The Board will include this action among the identical-

in-substance amendments to the Illinois RCRA Subtitle C

hazardous waste program for the period January 1 through June

30, 1996, which is not yet reserved.)

evised Draft Proposed HAP Source

Construction/Reconstruction Rule

On March 26, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 13125), USEPA published

a notice of the availability of a revised draft of its proposed rules for

construction or reconstruction of a hazardous air pollutant (HAP)

source. Under section 112(g) of the Clean Air Act (CAA),

determinations of the "maximum available control technology"

(MACT) are to be made on a case-by-case basis upon the

construction or reconstruction of a HAP source if USEPA has not

yet established MACT HAP emission standards under section

112(d) for the type of source. The proposed rule would implement

the making of the case-by-case section 112(g) MACT

determinations for new HAP sources by determining when a

source requires a new source MACT. Factors proposed for

consideration in making this determination include whether the

source is located on a "greenfield" or an existing plant site, whether

it will be controlled by existing equipment, and whether any

existing control equipment has unutilized capacity. USEPA made

drafts of the proposed rule available on its Air Quality Planning

and Standards electronic bulletin board and at its headquarters in

Washington, DC.

Division of Public Water Supplies

Restricted Status List -- Public Water Supplies

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 April 1, 1996.

*

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.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

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 April 1, 1996.

*

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.
