Decision in ESG Watts

ESG Watts, Inc., v. The Illinois

Pollution Control Board, and the

People of the State of Illinois,

Fourth District Slip. Op. No. 4-

95-0642.

This case was before the

appellate court on an appeal by

ESG Watts (Watts) of the $60,000

penalty imposed by the Board for

failure to timely pay solid waste

fees and failure to timely submit

reports required to be filed by

landfill operators by the Environ-

mental Protection Act (Act) [415

ILCS 5/1

et. seq

.] and environ-

mental regulations promulgated

under the Act. In the appeal,

Watts admitted to violating the

Act but argued that the penalty

was excessive because the

violations caused no

environmental harm.

Additionally, Watts argued that

the Board improperly considered

past violations

when assessing the penalty. The Fourth District disa-

greed with Watts and affirmed the Board in an unpub-

lished order entered on June 28, 1996.

On April 20, 1994, the Attorney General’s office

filed a complaint before the Board alleging that Watts

Trucking (which owns ESG Watts Inc.) and James

Watts (the sole shareholder and president of Watts

Trucking and ESG Watts Inc.) failed to timely file fees

and reports required of landfill operators. On October

14, 1994, the Attorney General’s office amended the

complaint to include violations that occurred after the

filing of the complaint.

The first count of the complaint alleged that quar-

terly reports from the Taylor Ridge Landfill (Taylor

Ridge) for the fourth quarter of 1993 and the first and

second quarters of 1994 were filed late and that the fees

reported due had not been paid. Additionally, Count I

alleged that the Sangamon Valley Landfill (Sangamon

Valley) had filed its reports late and paid its fees late for

each of these three quarters. Filing fees are required

under Section 22.15(b) of the Act and Section

858.401(a) of the Board’s rules. [415 ILCS 5/22.15(b)

and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 858.401(a).]

The second count alleged that both Taylor Ridge and

Sangamon Valley filed their significant modification

applications (SIGMOD) late. SIGMODs were required

to be filed within four years of the Board’s adoption of

its 1990 landfill regulations or at an earlier time if so

specified by the Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency). If facilities did not wish to provide a SIG-

MOD, they were to close within two years of the effec-

tive date of the rule. [35 Ill. Adm. Code 814.104(a)

and (c).]

The third count summarized past violations found in

circuit court actions and Count IV alleged Sangamon

Valley failed to file a biennial revision of its closure

cost estimate in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code

807.623.

The State in its post-hearing brief asked the Board to

take official notice of its own records of 19 prior ad-

ministrative citations against Watts. Additionally, the

State requested that the Board revoke Watts’ operating

permit or in the alternative impose civil penalties of

$254,100. Watts admitted the allegations in the com-

plaint but argued that permit revocations and the mone-

tary penalties requested by the Attorney General were

inappropriate.

After a hearing on the violations, the Board rendered

its decision. The Board did not revoke the landfill’s op-

erating permits nor did the Board pierce the corporate

veil and hold Mr. Watts or Watts Trucking responsible

for the violations. However, the Board did impose

$60,000 in fines on Watts.

In its May 4, 1995, opinion and order, the Board

broke the $60,000 penalty down and explained how it

reached that amount. First, the Board imposed $30,000

for late payment of quarterly fees. The amount was

reached by calculating the annual cost of borrowing the

money to timely pay the fees at a rate of 10% per an-

num and with an additional charge of 10% per annum to

remove the economic incentive for late payments and to

deter future violations. The Board then imposed a flat

rate of $2,500 for each late report. In reaching this

amount the Board took into account the economic bene-

fit of not filing and the fact that Watts was currently in

compliance. The total for failing to file reports was

$15,000. The Board then fined Watts $5,000 for failure

to file each SIGMOD. The Board characterized the

failure to file the SIGMODs as a “substantial violation.”

The total for failure to file the SIGMODs was $10,000.

The Board also fined Watts $5,000 for failure to timely

file the biennial revision. The Board noted that the de-

lay in filing benefited Watts economically but also rec-

ognized that Watts was currently in compliance. Fi-

nally, because the violations were willful, knowing, and

repeated the Board assessed $4,980 in attorney’s fees as

allowed for by the Act at 415 ILCS 5/42(f).

The Fourth District upheld the Board’s decision to

impose penalties recognizing that, “The Board is vested

with broad discretionary powers in the imposition of

civil penalties, and its order will not be disturbed upon

review unless it is clearly arbitrary, capricious, or un-

reasonable.” Additionally, the court recognized that the

Act does not allow the Board to impose penalties unless

the record adequately demonstrates the rationale for the

imposition of the penalty. However, the court stated

that the “Act clearly authorizes the Board to assess civil

penalties for violations regardless of whether those vio-

lations resulted in actual pollution.” The court also

recognized that in assessing penalties the Board must

look at the factors listed in Section 33(c) of the Act.

[415 ILCS 5/33(c).] Additionally, in discussing Section

42(h) of the Act, the court stated, “...it is now clear

from the 42(h) factors that the deterrent effect of penal-

ties on the violator and potential violators is a legitimate

goal for the Board to consider when imposing penal-

ties.” [415 ILCS 5/42(h).]

With respect to the Section 42(h) factors, the Board

found and the court upheld that Watts’ lack of diligence,

the economic benefits gained by untimely filings, the

necessity of deterring future violations, and Watts’ past

history of violations were all factors which should ag-

gravate the penalty imposed. The court acknowledged

that the Board addressed each of the Section 42(h) fac-

tors and the court found the Board’s discussion to be

well reasoned and the court would therefore not over-

turn the Board’s findings. [415 ILCS 5/42(h).] The

Fourth District held, “the Board’s decision that a stiff

penalty was warranted to deter future violations was

neither arbitrary nor capricious.”

The court dismissed Watts’ arguments relating to

penalties. First Watts argued that the penalty was ex-

cessive in light of other cases. The court found that the

violations in this case occurred after the new penalties

in Section 42(a) [415 ILCS 5/42(a)] were in effect as

opposed to the case cited by Watts where the violations

took place before the new penalty amounts were en-

acted. The court stated that the assessed penalty amount

was a small fraction of the maximums allowed by the

Act and noted that the Board did not impose an addi-

tional penalty for each day of noncompliance.

Next, Watts argued that it did not receive an eco-

nomic benefit from noncompliance. Again, the court

upheld the Board stating, “we deem it reasonable to as-

sume petitioner received the time value of money by

delaying the expenditures necessary to prepare such re-

ports.” Additionally, the court found that Watts re-

ceived economic benefits from delaying payment of its

quarterly fees.

Finally, Watts challenged the Board’s consideration

of prior violations in aggravation of the penalty. The

court in response to the challenge, stated, “the Board is

allowed wide discretion under section 42(h) of the Act

to consider any factor in aggravation and mitigation of

the penalty.” [415 ILCS 5/42(h).]

year from the date of the earliest federal amendments

included in the docket, the Board also included a

statement of the reasons for delay as a segment of the

June 20 opinion.

Ten principal federal actions that occurred in this

period were included in the docket. One principal set of

amendments (three actions) were the February 9, 1995

establishment of hazardous waste listings (K156 through

K161) for six carbamate production wastes, including

April 17 and May 12, 1995 corrections to the carbamate

listings. Another was a major set of federal regulations

that arose on May 11, 1995, when USEPA established a

new body of regulations to govern certain high-volume

hazardous wastes that are being collected for recycling

or disposal. June 13, 1995 amendments delisted the

treated residues of certain listed hazardous waste

generated by Conversion Systems, Inc. (CSI) in

Sterling, Illinois. On June 29, 1995, USEPA deleted a

vast number of rules that were obsolete, redundant, or

outdated. Other amendments included the January 13

and April 4, 1995 amendments to testing procedures;

the February 3, 1995 USEPA response to public

inquiries in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in

City of Chicago v. Environmental Defense Fund, Inc.,

114 S. Ct. 1588 (1994); and the February 7, 1995

announcement that USEPA had studied cement kiln dust

and determined not to subject this material to complete

Subtitle C regulation.

The Board deviated from the normal update

timeframe of January 1 through June 30, 1995 of R95-

20 in a few actions. The Board included in three sets of

amendments made by USEPA on July 7, September 29,

and November 13, 1995 relating to the Subpart CC

organic material emissions regulations. One of the

added federal actions made corrections to the rules

adopted by the Board on June 1 and 16, 1995, under

consolidated docket number R95-4/R95-6, and two of

the actions stayed the effective date of the Subpart CC

organic material emission rules for tanks, containers,

and surface impoundments. Further, the Board did not

include two sets of amendments that did occur in the

January 1 through June 30, 1995 update period because

it had already taken action on the amendments in the

R95-4/R95-6 docket. These were the federal

amendments of January 3, 1995, which corrected errors

and clarified language in the universal treatment

standards adopted on September 19, 1994 as the Phase

II LDRs, and of May 19, 1995, which earlier stayed the

40 CFR 264, subpart CC and 265, subpart CC

regulations.

On February 1, 1996, the Board proposed the RCRA

Subtitle C amendments for public comment. The public

comment period began on February 16, 1996, when

Notices of Proposed Amendments appeared in the

Illinois Register and ended after 45 days, on April 1,

1996. The Board received significant public comments

on aspects of the proposal. By an order dated June 6,

1996, the Board denied a request for oral argument on

issues relating to adoption of the CSI hazardous waste

delisting. The identical-in-substance provisions of the

Act provide that the Administrative Procedure Act

requirements for First Notice and Second Notice review

by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules did not

apply to this proceeding.

ew Utility Waste Landfill Standards Proposed

For Second Notice, R96-1

The Board proposed alternative standards for new

utility waste landfills on September 21, 1995, in docket

R96-1, for Second notice review by the joint committee

on Administrative Rules (JCAR). 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.)

The Board

proposed alternative standards for new utility waste

landfills for First Notice publication in the

Illinois

Register

on September 21, 1995. Notices of Proposed

Amendments and Rules appeared in the October 31,

1995

Illinois Register

, at 19 Ill. Reg. 14260 (Part 816),

14280 (Part 807), and 14286 (Part 811), starting the 45-

day public comment period.

(See issue 497, Oct.,

1995.)

The Board will be free to adopt the regulations

after the end of the 45-day Second Notice period or

when JCAR votes No Objection to the rules.

ocket Opened For Public Water Supplies

Amendments, Amended Petition Requested, R96-

18

On June 20, 1996, the Board opened a new docket

for prospective amendments to the Illinois public water

supplies regulations. Those regulations, codified as

Subpart F of Title 35, include the Illinois drinking water

rules, the federally-derived Safe Drinking Water Act

(SDWA) rules, the groundwater quality rules, and the

groundwater protection rules. The opening of docket

R96-18 followed a request by the Illinois EPA (Agency)

that the Board consider certain amendments requested in

another proceeding as a separate petition for

rulemaking.

The Agency submitted a list of desired corrections

and minor amendments in the identical-in-substance

SDWA update docket R95-17, which includes federal

amendments that occurred during the period January 1

through June 30, 1995. In its February 1, 1996

proposed opinion and order in R95-17, the Board

proposed many of the amendments submitted by the

Agency that it felt it could accomplish using the

identical-in-substance procedure. The Board did not

propose several other suggested amendments that it felt

were beyond its identical-in-substance authority.

Rather, the Board suggested that the Agency should

submit a general rulemaking petition pursuant to Section

27 of the Environmental Protection Act. The Agency

responded with a request that the Board consider its

request for amendments submitted in R95-17 as a

general rulemaking petition. In the June 20 order, the

Board opened and reserved the new docket R96-18, but

it ordered the Agency to submit an amended petition by

September 1, 1996 that cures the procedural defects in

the R95-17 request.

IGNIFICANT FEDERAL ACTIONS

IGNIFICANT FEDERAL ACTIONS

The Board continues its series of reports on recent

federal actions from the Federal Register that are of

interest to the Board and the regulated community.

Below are highlighted over 40 such actions that

occurred in June, 1996:

ive-Year CAA Title V Permit Deferral Option

Adopted for Non-Major Sources in Four Source

Categories

On June 3, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 27785), USEPA

adopted amendments to the National Emission Standards

for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) applicable to

four source categories to allow permitting authorities to

defer requiring Clean Air Act (CAA) Title V permits of

non-major sources in those categories. The

amendments would allow states to defer requiring a

permit from the affected sources for five years. The

sources involved are those that are not classified as

"major" sources--i.e., those that have a potential to emit

less than 10 tons per year of any single hazardous air

pollutant (HAP) or 25 tons per year of any combination

of HAPs. The source categories involved are

perchlorethylene dry-cleaning (40 CFR 63, subpart M),

hard and decorative chromium electroplating and

chromium anodizing (40 CFR 63, subpart N), ethylene

oxide commercial sterilization and fumigation (40 CFR

63, subpart O), and secondary lead smelting (40 CFR

63, subpart X).

inal Policy on Compliance Alternatives for Small

Businesses

On June 3, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 27983), USEPA

released a final policy on compliance alternatives for

small businesses. The stated objective of the policy is

to promote environmental compliance among small

businesses and to provide incentives for them to

participate in government-sponsored compliance

assistance programs or to themselves conduct

environmental audits. USEPA further sought to provide

guidance to the efforts of states and local governments

to offer incentives for small business participation.

USEPA

stated that it would defer to state actions that are

consistent with the final federal policy. A small

business is defined for the purposes of the policy as one

employing 100 or fewer persons, including contract

employees. USEPA stated that this is a simplified

version of the Clean Air Act definition of a small

business.

Under the policy, USEPA will refrain from seeking

civil penalties for a small business that makes a good-

faith effort to correct noncompliance, with certain

limitations. The major limitations are that (1) the

noncompliance is the company's first instance of

noncompliance with the particular provision involved;

(2) the noncompliance does not involve "criminal

conduct"; (3) the noncompliance has not caused and is

not causing harm or a threat to health, safety, or the

environment. Further, the business must remedy the

noncompliance within the "corrections period,” which

is determined by the governmental entity involved.

Finally, USEPA forbearance as to noncompliance that

results in economic advantage is to limit the penalty

sought to the advantage incurred.

(Note: This is similar to the Illinois "Clean Break"

program, with some significant differences: the Illinois

program, in its Phase I, is limited to autobody and auto

repair facilities and printers, and the Illinois program

defines a small business as having 200 or fewer

evised List of Categories of Sources and Schedule

for CAA NESHAP Development

On June 4, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 28197), USEPA

published a revised listing of hazardous air pollutant

(HAP) source categories and schedule for National

Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

(NESHAPs) development. The revised listing indicates

F

F

F

R

R

---

ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER No. 506

July, 1996

that USEPA has added seven source categories, changed

the names of two, included three others within other

industry groups, included two within other existing

categories, and eliminated five. The schedule indicates

that USEPA has developed NESHAPS for 29 source

categories and proposed NESHAPs for 19 others. For

the sources for which USEPA has not yet developed a

NESHAP, the schedule further indicates that the due

date for NESHAPS for 36 categories is November 15,

1997, and the NESHAPs due date for 91 others is

November 15, 2000. USEPA has either completed or

proposed action on the NESHAPs for all sources having

earlier due dates.

The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires USEPA to

develop and update a listing of source categories that

emit HAPs. It further requires USEPA to develop

NESHAPs for the source categories within certain

deadlines. It also required USEPA to publish its listing

and schedule and requires it to update the listing and

schedule from time to time. USEPA published the

initial listing of source categories on July 16, 1992 (57

Fed. Reg. 31567), which included 174 source

categories. USEPA published the initial schedule for

NESHAPs development on December 3, 1993 (58 Fed.

Reg. 63941). Although USEPA has revised the source

categories and schedules in the context of individual

actions, the present action is the first publication of the

entire listing with all the associated scheduled

completion dates for NESHAP development.

dditional Four-Month Stay of RCRA Subtitle C

Subpart CC Air Emissions Regulations

On June 5, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 28508), USEPA

granted an additional four-month stay of the effective

date of the RCRA Subtitle C air emissions regulations

applicable to hazardous waste tanks, containers, and

surface impoundments, codified as 40 CFR 264, subpart

CC and 265, subpart CC. The additional stay changed

the effective date from June 6, 1996 to October 6, 1996.

The purpose of the stay is to allow USEPA to finalize

amendments to the regulations made in response to

public comments. USEPA stated that the stay does not

affect the December 8, 1997.

USEPA originally adopted the Subpart CC rules on

December 6, 1994 (59 Fed. Reg. 62896), to become

effective June 6, 1995. Confronted with criticism of the

rules, USEPA previously stayed the general effective

date of the rules for six months once on May 19, 1995

(60 Fed. Reg. 26828), until December 6, 1995, and

again on November 13, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 56952),

until June 6, 1996. On September 29, 1995 (60 Fed.

Reg. 50426), USEPA indefinitely stayed the effective

date of the Subpart CC regulations as they would

specifically apply to organic peroxide manufacturing

processes. On February 9, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 4903),

USEPA adopted technical amendments to the 40 CFR

264, Subpart CC and 265, Subpart CC standards for

emission of organic material from hazardous waste

tanks, containers, and surface impoundments, also

called the "Subpart CC rules.” USEPA explained that

the amendments clarified the regulatory text of the

rules, corrected typographical and grammatical errors,

and clarified segments of the original preamble

discussion. USEPA invited comments on the rules on

August 14, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 41870), and stated in

adopting the corrective and clarifying amendments that

it will complete its evaluation of the comments received

early this year. The latest delay in the effective date

was to allow further time to adopt those amendments.

(Note: The Board adopted the initial Subpart CC

rules and the first stay (until December, 1995) on June 1

and 16, 1995, in docket R95-4/R95-6. The Board

adopted amendments on June 20, 1996, in docket R95-

20, that will incorporate the federal stays granted on

September 29 and November 13, 1995 and June 5,

1996. Due to that prompt action, no further action will

be necessary in either of the reserved dockets R96-10 or

ational Response Team Integrated Contingency

Plan Guidance Published

On June 5, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 28641), USEPA, the

Department of Transportation (Coast Guard and

Research and Special Projects Administration; USCG

and RSPA), Department of the Interior (Minerals

Management Service; MMS), and Department of Labor

(Occupational Safety and Health Administration;

OSHA) published integrated contingency plan (ICP)

guidance. The guidance acts as a single resource for

facilities to prepare a single contingency plan that will

fulfill the requirements of multiple agencies and their

regulations. The regulations that the ICP guidance is

intended to cover are the MMS Facility Response Plan

rules; the USEPA Oil Pollution Prevention, Risk

Management Programs, and Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act Contingency Planning rules; the RSPA

Pipeline Response Plan rules; the USCG Facility

Response Plan rules; and the OSHA Emergency Action

Plan, Process Safety Standard, and HAZPOWER rules.

USEPA published a list of corrections of transcription

errors in the ICP on June 19, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg.

31103).

The Clean Air Act required the President to review

the federal release prevention, mitigation, and response

requirements, a job that the President delegated to

USEPA. The review concluded that although the

A

requirements were effective, they were "complex,

confusing, and costly.” One issue identified was the

multiple overlapping nature of the release reporting

requirements. In publishing the ICP guidance one-plan

option, the agencies involved stated that the guidance is

not intended to change any of the substantive

requirements, and they cautioned that other contingency

planning requirements may apply that are not covered

by the guidance.

limination of CAA Acid Rain Program Direct

Sale Program

On June 6, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 28761), USEPA

adopted a direct final rule that ends the acid rain

program direct sales program. The Clean Air Act

(CAA) mandates that fossil fuel-fired electric generating

facilities emit no more sulfur dioxide (SO

2

) than that for

which they hold allowances. The Act mandates that

USEPA issue some SO

2

allowances to the utilities and

withhold others for later auction. In order to provide

allowances to new independent power producers (IPPs),

the CAA further mandates that USEPA issue guarantees

of priority in the conduct of annual direct sales to new

generating utilities. The CAA allows USEPA to

terminate the direct sales program if less than 20

percent of the allowances have been purchased in any

two-year period. USEPA began the program in 1993

and had sold no allowances through the program, and

USEPA had not received any requests for the

guarantees. The allowances formerly available through

the direct sale program will be included in the annual

SO

2

allowance auction. This will add 25,000 advance

auction allowances not sold by direct sales for each of

the years 1993 through 1996. The rule becomes

effective August 5, 1996 unless expressly withdrawn in

a

Federal Register

notice prior to that date in response

to significant adverse public comment. The

accompanying notice of proposed rule appeared in the

same issue of the

Register

(61 Fed. Reg. 28830).

epeal of Leaded Gasoline Requirements

Completed

On June 6, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 28763), USEPA

completed the repeal of its former leaded gasoline

requirements begun earlier this year. The completed

repeal eliminated all vehicle fuel system and gasoline

fuel dispensing facility restrictions associated with the

former sale of leaded gasoline. The repeal is

accomplished in such a way that the former fuel tank

fill-tube size restriction remains, but in such a way that

motorcycles and other vehicles that never had vehicle

exhaust emissions control equipment will not become

subject to the requirement.

USEPA amended its fuels and fuel additives

regulations, in a February 2, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 3837)

direct final rule, 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,” effective March 4, 1996, unless earlier

withdrawn. This action was undertaken in response to

the January 1, 1996 ban on the sale of leaded gasoline

imposed by the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990.

(See memo of February 20, 1996.) One requirement

that originated in the leaded fuel regulations was that

vehicle manufacturers restrict the fuel fill tube of

vehicles having emissions control equipment that was

incompatible with leaded fuel, so that no leaded fuel

could be dispensed into their tanks. When repealing the

leaded fuel requirements. USEPA had retained the

vehicle fill tube restrictions. It did so in response to

comments from the automobile manufacturing industry

relating to gasoline vapor emissions control and in the

belief that all vehicles had emissions control equipment

that was incompatible with leaded fuel--

i.e.

, that all

vehicles already had the restrictors.

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

partially withdrew the segment of the February 2, 1996

direct final rule as it related to the fill tube restriction.

As a result, the automobile unleaded fuel fill-tube

restriction requirement remained in effect. (See memo

of March 18, 1995.) USEPA explained that it did so in

response to a significant adverse public comment from

Harley-Davidson, Inc., a manufacturer of motorcycles.

Harley-Davidson pointed out that although motorcycles

had never been subject to the fill-tube restriction

requirements, the repeal would have made them subject

to them. In adopting the final repeal USEPA retained

the fill-tube restriction requirements for all vehicles of

types that were required to have them to prevent the

introduction of leaded fuel, but USEPA did so in a way

that does not newly require the restrictions in other

vehicles, like motorcycles, that were not previously

subject to the rule.

omment Solicited by PHS on the 1995 National

Solicited for Evaluation

On June 6, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 28883), the Public

Health Service (PHS) of the Department of Health and

Human Services sought comment on its fiscal year 1995

National Toxicology Program (NTP). PHS further

solicited interested persons to submit candidate

chemicals for possible toxicological evaluation.

PHS established the NTP in 1978 to further its

toxicology research and to provide toxicological

information to the public and governmental agencies.

The NTP coordinates toxicological activities of the

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

(NIEHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the

National Center for Toxicological Research, the Food

and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institute

for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Agencies

represented on the NTP are the Agency for Toxic

Substances and Disease Registry, the Consumer Product

Safety Commission, USEPA, FDA, the National Cancer

Institute, NIOSH, NIEHS, NIH, and OSHA. NTP

program areas include carcinogenesis, genetic

toxicology, mechanism-based toxicology, alternative

methods, and toxicology, which includes immunologic,

neurobehavioral, and respiratory toxicology. NTP

special projects include study of AIDS therapeutics and

Superfund chemicals.

otential Amendments to CAA SO

2

Procedures

On June 6, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 28995), in an

advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, USEPA raised

the possibility of several amendments to the acid rain

program procedures for SO

2

allowance auctions. The

Clean Air Act (CAA) mandates that fossil fuel-fired

electric generating facilities emit no more sulfur dioxide

(SO

2

) than that for which they hold allowances. The

Act mandates that USEPA issue some SO

2

allowances to

the utilities and withhold others for later auction. The

allowances withheld for auction represent 2.8 percent of

the total allowances issued for a given time period. The

potential amendments on which USEPA requested

comment relate primarily to the timing and mechanics

of the auctions. USEPA requested comment on whether

it should follow a General Accounting Office

recommendation and conduct single-price auctions of

SO

2

allowances, in which bidders would pay the market-

clearing price for the allowances. To date, sales are

conducted on a price-discriminating basis--

i.e.

, on a

high-bid to low-bid basis until all allowances are sold.

USEPA also sought comment on whether it should

eliminate the minimum price for sale of additional

allowances, whether to change the time for the sales

from March to October, and whether to allow electronic

transfers of allowances.

raft Supplement to St. Clair County Transit

Improvements Economic Impact Study Available

On June 7, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 29094), USEPA

announced the availability of a draft supplement to an

economic impact study for federal funding of a project

in Illinois. The draft supplement relates to additional

and updated information relating to the St. Clair County

Corridor transit improvements Metrolink extension pro-

ject from East St. Louis to the Mid-America Airport.

roposed HUD Lead-Based Paint Hazard Rules

On June 7, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 29169), the Department

of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed

regulations relating to notification, evaluation, and

reduction of hazards from lead-based paint in federally-

owned and federally-assisted housing. HUD stated that

it proposed the rules to implement sections 1012 and

1013 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard

Reduction Act of 1992 and Title X of the Housing

Community Development Act of 1992. It explained

that the rules would set forth new requirements relating

to lead-based paint hazard evaluation, notification, and

reduction, for the first time consolidating all of HUD's

related rules in one location. One new part or subpart

will contain programmatic requirements on hazard

evaluation, notification, and reduction activities. A

second new part or subpart will set forth information on

hazard evaluation and reduction activities based on

HUD guidelines. The third part or subpart, already

jointly proposed by HUD and USEPA on November 2,

1994, will relate to lead-paint hazard notification for

pre-1978 housing units.

AA Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning NESHAPs

Guidance Available

On June 11, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 29485), USEPA

announced the availability of guidance relating to the

Clean Air Act (CAA) National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) applicable to

perchloroethylene (PCE) dry cleaning facilities.

USEPA adopted the PCE dry cleaning facility NESHAP

on September 22, 1993 (58 Fed. Reg. 49354) and

amended it on December 20, 1993 (58 Fed. Reg.

66287). The International Fabricare Institute filed suit

in federal court to challenge the NESHAP on December

20, 1993. USEPA settled the litigation by committing

itself to issuing guidance on episodic exceedances of the

NESHAP standards. The guidance is entitled,

"Settlement Agreement on Litigation of National

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for

Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities.”

omment Sought on Applicability of CAA Coal

Preparation Plant NSPS to Coal Dump Truck

Unloading Operations

On June 11, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 29558), USEPA

sought comment on the applicability of the Clean Air

Act (CAA) New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)

for coal preparation plants to coal dump truck unloading

operations. USEPA stated that it was in the process of

determining whether these operations are regulated

under the current NSPS of 40 CFR 60, subpart Y, and,

if not, whether they are covered by the category.

USEPA said that it is conducting the review for the

purposes of determining whether these facilities are

major sources subject to the Title V permit requirements

of the CAA.

eetings of Common Sense Initiative Council and

Subcommittees

On June 11, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 29559), USEPA

announced meetings of the Common Sense Initiative

Counsel (CSIC) and four of its subcommittees. The

four subcommittees for which USEPA announced

meetings were the Metal Finishing Subcommittee, the

Computers and Electronics Sector Subcommittee, the

Iron and Steel Sector Subcommittee, and the Petroleum

Refining Sector Subcommittee.

The CSIC met in Washington, DC on June 27 and

28, 1996. Issues for discussion included leveraging

capital for pollution prevention, public health literature

and data for use by CSIC subcommittees, the changing

roles of government agencies in sector-based

environmental management, permitting reform, sector-

specific and one-stop reporting, etc.

The Metal Finishing Subcommittee was scheduled to

meet on July 9 and 10, 1996 in Arlington, Virginia. It

was to discuss three main topics: strategic goals and

performance targets for the sector, publicly owned

treatment works (POTW) project recommendations, and

a possible enforcement project for "bottom-tier" firms

(deliberate non-compliers).

The Computers and Electronics Sector

Subcommittee was to meet in Alexandria, Virginia on

July 15 and 16, 1996 and break into reporting and

information access, overcoming barriers to pollution

prevention, and integrated and sustainable alternatives

workgroup sessions. Topics to be covered included

ongoing reporting reinvention projects, the end-of-life

management of consumer electronics products, and

alternative regulatory strategies.

The Iron and Steel Sector Subcommittee was to meet

July 25, 1996 in Baltimore, Maryland. Its topics for

discussion was to include potential projects and to

discuss community involvement guiding principles. The

seven projects that the Iron and Steel Sector

Subcommittee has thus far undertaken are Brownfields,

Multi-Media Permitting, Permit Issues, Consolidated

Multi-Media Permitting, Alternative Compliance

Strategy, the Innovative Technology Web Site, and

Barriers.

The Petroleum Refining Sector Subcommittee was

scheduled to meet on July 30, 1996 in Dallas, Texas.

The topics scheduled for discussion included the "One-

Stop" and equipment leaks projects.

On June 28, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33737), USEPA

announced that the Printing Sector Subcommittee was to

meet on July 17, 1996 in Arlington, Virginia. USEPA

stated only that the subcommittee will discuss two

ongoing projects.

eetings and Technical Workshop on Drinking

Water Issues

On June 11, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 29560), USEPA

announced public meetings and a technical workshop on

drinking water issues in Washington, DC Both the

meetings and the workshop were to address issues

related to the disinfection and disinfection by-products

information collection rule (ICR) adopted by USEPA on

May 10, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 24353). (See memo of

June 21, 1996.) The technical workgroup met on June

12, 1996 to discuss ICR protozoan monitoring issues.

The meetings were scheduled for June 13 and 14, 1996

to discuss the ICR data objectives and issues and

developmental and reproductive health effects research

relating to disinfection by-products. USEPA stated that

it intends to conduct further meetings later in 1996.

raft Framework for Watershed Trading

Available

On June 11, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 29563), USEPA

announced the availability of a document entitled "Draft

Framework for Watershed Trading.” USEPA stated

that the Draft Framework is a companion to the "Policy

Statement for Effluent Trading" issued in January,

1996. Both are a product of the President's

"Reinventing Environmental Regulation" initiative of

March, 1995. USEPA invited comment on the Draft

Framework, which it described as providing "a

background on trading and its benefits, a series of

conditions that are necessary for trading, including

those that assure protection of water quality comparable

to the protection that would be provided without

trading.” Among the information, issues, and

worksheets included in the Draft Framework, USEPA

dvanced Notice of Decisions Whether to Retain

Particulate Matter Based on Review

On June 12, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 29719), USEPA

published an advance notice of its intent to propose

decisions by November 29, 1996 whether to retain or

revise the National Ambient Air Quality Standards

(NAAQSs) developed under the Clean Air Act (CAA)

for ozone and particulate matter (PM). USEPA stated

that it was using the advanced notice to identify key

issues in deriving its decisions on the NAAQSs. The

November 29 date for proposal of USEPA's

determinations derived from a judicial order in

American Lung Association v. Browner

, 884 F. Supp.

345 (D. Ariz. 1994). That order, relating to PM only,

imposed a June 28, 1997 deadline for adoption of any

final USEPA decision.

Section 109 of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA)

requires USEPA to establish primary and secondary

national ambient air quality standards for specified

contaminants, including SO

2

. A primary standard is

directed at protection of human health, and a secondary

standard is based on effects on the public welfare

(including the environment). Section 109 also requires

periodic review and possible revision of the established

standards. USEPA last reviewed the ozone primary and

secondary NAAQSs in March, 1993 (58 Fed. Reg.

13008), determining not to alter the standards. USEPA

stated that it is considering replacing the present 1-hour

primary ozone standard with an 8-hour standard. It

stated that it is considering the smaller diameter PM

(less than 2.5 microns) a different pollutant than the

larger particles (from 2.5 to 10 microns) with a different

primary standard. USEPA stated that its review to date

has identified a number of common factors between the

standards for ozone and those for PM, including

atmospheric residence times, similar gaseous

precursors, similar combustion-related source

categories, and similar atmospheric chemistries that

favor their formation. This is the reason that USEPA is

conducting concurrent review of both pollutants'

NAAQSs, and USEPA is considering integrated

emission reduction strategies for both.

(Note: On October 11, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 52874),

USEPA published its determination not to revise the

identical primary and secondary National Ambient Air

Quality Standards (NAAQSs) for nitrogen dioxide (NO

2

).

(See issue 499, Dec., 1995.) On May 22, 1996 (61 Fed.

Reg. 25566), USEPA determined to make no substantive

revision in the primary and secondary National Ambient

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide (SO

2

).

However, USEPA did make "several minor technical

rants Available for Environmental Justice

through Pollution Prevention Projects

On June 13, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30063), USEPA

solicited grant proposals for environmental justice

through pollution prevention (EJP2) projects. USEPA

stated that between $750,000 and $1.5 million will be

available for projects that foster environmental justice

through the prevention of pollution in lower income and

racial minority neighborhoods. USEPA defined

environmental justice as "the fair treatment of people of

all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the

development, implementation, and enforcement of

environmental laws, regulations, programs, and

policies.” It stated that pollution prevention means

source reduction--

i.e.

, "any practice that reduces or

eliminates any pollutant at the source prior to recycling,

treatment, or disposal.” Only non-profit corporations

and Indian tribes are eligible for the grants; individuals,

businesses, and governmental entities are not. The

grants are subject to a 5% matching requirement.

ERCLA Remedial Action Cost Recovery

Settlement for an Illinois Facility

On June 13, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30067), USEPA

announced a prospective settlement of a Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability

Act of 1980 (CERCLA) cost recovery action involving

an Illinois Superfund site. USEPA incurred $165,118 in

corrective action costs at the Waukegan Paint and

Lacquer Company, Inc. site in Waukegan. Under the

proposed settlement, USEPA will collect $94,000 from

the potentially responsible parties involved in settlement

of its claims.

epeal of Obsolete, Superfluous, or Burdensome

Air Rules Partially Withdrawn

On June 14, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30162), USEPA

partially withdrew its earlier repeal of air regulations

that it considered obsolete, superfluous, or burdensome.

USEPA had repealed the rules on April 11, 1996 (61

Fed. Reg. 16050) by a direct final rule effective June

10, 1996 unless expressly withdrawn before that time in

response to significant adverse public comment. (See

memo of May 9, 1996.) Among the repealed rules were

40 CFR 51.100(o) (definition of "reasonably available

control technology,” 51.101 (stipulations), 51.110(g)

(attainment and measure of national standards), and

51.213 (transportation control measures), on which

USEPA subsequently received such comments. Due to

the comments, USEPA withdrew the repeal of those

four provisions, leaving the repeal of all other

provisions intact. USEPA will make the four

withdrawn provisions the subject of a future final rule,

at which time it will discuss the public comments

received.

llinois Site Added to CERCLA National Priorities

List

On June 17, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30510), USEPA

added an Illinois site to the National Priority List (NPL)

pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980

(CERCLA). The site was the Jennison-Wright

Corporation facility in Granite City, assigned to Group

12 based on its hazard ranking score. (USEPA rank

orders sites from most to least serious based on their

hazard ranking score (HRS) and places them groups of

50 sites each.) In adding this and 12 other sites in sister

states to the NPL, USEPA published the complete

listing in its entirety. The list includes the following

non-federal government-owned or operated sites in

Illinois. (Bold face type indicates site is on the

construction completion list, and underlining indicates

the site is the highest priority site in Illinois):

A & F Material Reclaiming, Inc. (Greenup)

Joliet Army Ammunition Plant (LAP Area; Joliet)

Joliet Army Ammunition Plant (Manufacturing

area; Joliet)

Sangamo Electric/Crab Orchard NWR (USDOI;

Carterville)

Savanna Army Depot Activity (Savanna)

USEPA proposed adding the Jennison-Wright

facility (and the 12 other sites) to the NPL on October

2, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 51390) as a Group 13 facility.

(See memo of October 10, 1995.) Under section 1006

of P.L. 104-19, enacted July 27, 1995, USEPA is

required to obtain a written request from a state's

Governor before adding a site in that state to the NPL.

On June 17, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30575), USEPA

proposed the addition of 13 new sites to the general

NPL and two to the federal facilities NPL. Two of the

proposed general NPL sites were Illinois facilities:

Circle Smelting Corp (Beckemeyer)

Sauget Area 1 (Sauget)

Based on the sites' HRSs, USEPA proposed them as

Group 1 sites.

SDOT Packaging, Communications, and Spill

response planning and implementation to prevent and

contain spills of oil in transportation. The regulations,

adopted under section 311(j) of the federal Clean Water

Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990,

amended an interim final rule adopted on February 2,

1993 and effective on June 16, 1993. The rules require

comprehensive response plans for bulk shipments of oil

(by ship, barge, rail, or portable tank) in quantities

greater than 42,000 gallons and less comprehensive

plans for shipments of 3,500 gallons or more.

roposed USDOT Federal-Aid Highway Wetlands

Mitigation Amendments

On June 17, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30553), the U.S.

Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA) proposed

amendments to its rules relating to mitigating the impact

of federal-aid highway projects on wetlands. The

FHWA stated that it was proposing the amendments to

offer states greater flexibility in determining eligibility

of mitigation alternatives. The proposed amendments

would broaden the scope to the rules to include all

wetland mitigation projects, not just those involving

private lands. FHWA stated that the amendments are

necessary because the present rules have become

outdated due to advances in the science of wetlands

management and because of statutory amendments made

in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act

of 1991 (Pub. L. 102-240).

rospective Bureau of Census Survey of

Environmental Products and Services

On June 17, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30592), the

Department of Commerce Bureau of the Census

published a notice that it is considering a survey of

environmental products and services for 1995. The

Bureau state that the purpose of the survey would be to

measure the environmental industry and to use as a tool

to promote international trade in environmental goods.

The Bureau has submitted the prospective survey to the

Office of Management and Budget for review.

ompliance Deadline Extended for CAA

NESHAP

On June 18, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30814), USEPA

published a direct final rule that extends the compliance

deadline for the Clean Air Act (CAA) National

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

(NESHAP) for shipbuilding and ship repair surface

coating operations. The deadline for submission of

implementation plans was changed from June 13, 1996

to December 16, 1996. The deadline for compliance

was revised from December 16, 1996 to December 16,

1997. USEPA stated that it took this action because the

rule did not allow sufficient time for assembly of

implementation plans and the necessary inventory

management systems and ensure compliance. The

accompanying notice of proposed rule appeared in the

same issue of the

Federal Register

(61 Fed. Reg.

30846).

USEPA adopted the Shipbuilding and Ship Repair

(Surface Coating) Operations source category NESHAP

on December 15, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 64330). The

regulations established hazardous air pollutant (HAP)

emissions standards for major new sources based on the

maximum achievable control technology (MACT). In

adopting the standards, USEPA estimated that the

regulations would reduce the 920 tons (837 megagrams)

in baseline emissions of HAPs from sources in this

category by 350 tons (318.5 megagrams) per year, or by

about 24 percent. USEPA estimated that the cost of

implementing the rules would be about $2 million

nationally beyond baseline. (See memo of January 3,

1996.)

aprolactum Removed From CAA HAP List

On June 18, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30816), USEPA

removed caprolactum from the Clean Air Act (CAA)

list of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Based on a

petition filed by Allied Signal, Inc., BASF Corp., and

DSM Chemical NA, USEPA determined that adequate

data on this material indicated that it may not be

reasonably expected to cause adverse environmental or

human health effects. The CAA allows USEPA to add

or delete compounds from the initial statutory listing

based on the threat or lack of threat that they pose to

human health and the environment.

orps of Engineers Permit Guidance Letters

Published

On June 18, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 30989), the

Department of Defense Army Corps of Engineers

published its internal regulatory guidance letters (RGLs)

pertaining to issues relating to Corps of Engineers-

issued permits. The guidance letters are letters issued

by the Corps headquarters to division and district

engineers. The Corps developed RGLs as a means to

track the guidance it directed to field agencies. The

Corps published all but one of the RGLs for widest

dissemination. The single RGL not published has

expired. The Corps intends to publish each new RGL

as it is issued and will republish the complete list of

current RGLs in early 1977. The RGLs all pertain to

Corps-administered permit programs, such as dredging

and wetlands permits.

mendments to CAA SOCMI NESHAP

On June 20, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 31435), USEPA

adopted a number of amendments to the Clean Air Act

(CAA) section 112 National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the synthetic

organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI).

The amendments remove three polyols (glycerol tri-

(polyoxypropylene)ether, polyethylene glycol, and poly-

propylene glycol) from the source category because they

are already regulated under the polyether polyol

production NESHAP. USEPA further amended the

equipment leaks provisions to clarify their intent, to

correct certain oversights, and to simplify the

demonstration of compliance. USEPA adopted the

SOCMI NESHAP on April 22 and June 6, 1994 (59

Fed. Reg. 19402 and 29196). USEPA has previously

amended the rules several times for the sake of

clarification, on September 20 and October 24 and 28,

1994 (59 Fed. Reg. 48175, 53359, and 54131); January

27, April 10, and December 12, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg.

5321, 18020, 18026, and 63624); and February 29,

1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 7716).

mendments to CAA Title V Permit Program

Interim Approval Criteria

On June 20, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 31443), USEPA

adopted amendments to Clean Air Act (CAA) Title V

permit program interim approval criteria--the criteria by

which USEPA may grant interim approval of a state's

Title V program. USEPA explained that a state may

now become eligible for interim approval even though

the program does not provide for incorporation of minor

source preconstruction permit conditions into the 40

CFR 70 permit. To gain the interim approval under

these circumstances, the state must "show compelling

reasons for the interim approval" and meet certain other

permit program requirements. Interim approval lasts

two years, after which the state must have corrected all

deficiencies.

(Note: USEPA granted interim approval of certain

elements of the Illinois operating permit program (Title

V) on March 7, 1995 (at 60 Fed. Reg. 12478). USEPA

stated that Illinois must cure certain deficiencies in the

program to gain full approval, including correction of

certain deficiencies in the insignificant activities

regulations, amendment of Section 39.5(13)(c)(vi) of the

Act to require the use of the significant modification

procedure to incorporate emissions trades into CAAPP

permits, development of regulations defining enhanced

new source review for implementing 40 CFR

70.7(d)(1)(v), and incorporation of the federal acid rain

provisions into the Act by reference. Illinois must

submit a complete corrected program package for

USEPA review by September 9, 1996. See issue 493,

AA Risk Management Rules Adopted

On June 20, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 31667), USEPA

adopted Clean Air Act (CAA) risk management

program regulations. Section 112(r) of the CAA

requires USEPA to adopt rules to prevent the accidental

release of regulated substances and reduce the impact of

those releases that do occur. The regulated substances

of interest are those listed in 40 CFR 68.130. The new

regulations will apply to any stationary source that

contains more than a threshold amount of any regulated

substance in its processes. The rules, effective August

19, 1996, divide the universe of covered facility

processes into three groups (Programs 1, 2, and 3)

based on site-specific factors: the off-site consequences

of a worst-case release, the accident history of the

facility, and compliance with the Occupational Safety

and Health Administration's (OSHA's) Process Safety

Management Standard (29 CFR 1910.119). Since the

regulations operate on a process-by-process basis, a

single facility could have processes in different program

levels.

USEPA has attempted to temper the impact of the

regulations. It stated that it coordinated the

development of the rules with OSHA and the

Department of Transportation (USDOT). It is

encouraging sources to use existing emergency response

plans, rather than developing independent risk

management plans (RMPs), where possible. USEPA

has provided reference tables for use as guidance by

small businesses in assessing the worst-case release. It

has developed guidance for the ammonia refrigeration

industry and intends to develop guidance for the

propane handling and drinking water industry. (See

below in this item.) USEPA stated that it hopes that

other industry sectors will work together to develop

model RMPs. The deadline for compliance is the later

of June 21, 1999, three years after a regulated substance

is first listed, or one year after a regulated substance is

first present in a process in a quantity greater than the

threshold amount.

Program 1 will apply to processes that have no

history of off-site accidents within the preceding five

years and no public receptors in the toxic or flammable

"worst-case circle.” A worst-case analysis must be

done for a Program 1 facility. The owner or operator

A

A

A

A

C

C

---

ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER No. 506

July, 1996

14

must certify that it does not need to undertake any

additional prevention steps, and it must coordinate

emergency response with local authorities. The process

RMP must contain a summary, registration, worst-case

data, the 5-year accident history, and certification.

Program 2 processes are those that do not fulfill the

prerequisites for Programs 1 or 3. In addition to the

Program 1 requirements, the owner or operator of a

Program 2 process must have a document management

system and its safety program must include safety

information, hazard review, operating procedures,

training, maintenance, incident investigation, and

compliance audit provisions. The Program 2 must

develop an RMP and program, and the RMP must

additionally include alternative release, prevention

program, and emergency response data.

Program 3 processes are those that fall into certain

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes: 2611

(pulp mills), 2812 (chlor-alkali), 2819 (industrial

inorganics), 2821 (plastics and resins), 2865 (cyclic

crudes), 2869 (industrial organics), 2873 (nitrogen

fertilizers), 2879 (agricultural chemicals), and 2911

(petroleum refineries). Program 3 processes are also

those subject to the OSHA Process Safety Management

(PSM) standard (29 CFR 1910.119), unless the process

is eligible for Program 1. The Program 3 requirements

add change management, pre-startup review, contractor,

employee participation, and hot work permit

requirements to the Program 2 requirements. Program

3 RMP requirements are parallel to those for Program

2.

In a related amendment of the same date (61 Fed.

Reg. 31730), USEPA adopted a stay of the List Rule,

which sets forth the regulated substances to which the

RMP program applies. USEPA stayed segments of the

List Rule for 18 months, until December 22, 1997, that

are the subject of certain proposed amendments. Those

amendments relate to the applicability of the RMP rules

to stationary sources, mixtures containing regulated

flammable substances, and regulated explosive

substances. The stay applies to the applicability of the

definition of "stationary source" as it applies to

naturally-occurring hydrocarbon reservoirs and the

transportation of natural gas or liquid petroleum under a

certified state program, to gasoline in distribution or

storage for use as fuel in internal combustion engines,

naturally-occurring hydrocarbon mixtures prior to entry

to a petroleum refining unit, and mixtures of a regulated

flammable substance that does not have a National Fire

Protection Association hazard rating of 4. Further,

when proposing the stay on April 15, 1996 (61 Fed.

Reg. 16598), USEPA has proposed deleting explosives

from the List Rule. For this reason, USEPA did not

provide for explosives in the RMP rules. (See memo of

May 9, 1996.)

Finally, USEPA announced the availability of three

RMP-related guidance documents in the same issue of

the

Federal Register

(61 Fed. Reg. 31733). The

documents available are entitled "RMP Offsite

Consequence Analysis Guidance,” "Model Risk

Management Program and Plan for Ammonia

Refrigeration,” and "Risk Management Plan Data

Elements.” "RMP Offsite Consequence Analysis

Guidance" includes the methodologies and reference

tables for development of worst-case and alternative

scenarios for RMP rule compliance. "Model Risk

Management Program and Plan for Ammonia

Refrigeration" sets forth a model program plan to aid

owners and operators of ammonia refrigeration

facilities. "Risk Management Plan Data Elements" sets

forth the types of information that should comprise an

RMP.

(Note: The preamble discussion (61 Fed. Reg.

31688) notes that CAA section 502(b)(5)(A) very clearly

indicates that the risk management program

requirements must be enforceable through a Title V

permit. This means that state permit requirements must

assure compliance with the RMP rules.)

Committee to Form

On June 21, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 31883), USEPA

announced its intent to form an industrial combustion

rulemaking advisory committee. USEPA explained that

sections 112 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA)

identifies seven categories of combustion sources:

industrial boilers, commercial-institutional boilers,

process heaters, industrial-commercial solid waste

incinerators, other solid waste incinerators, stationary

gas turbines, and stationary internal combustion

engines, for which USEPA must develop national

emission standards for hazardous air pollutants

(NESHAPs) by the year 2000. USEPA stated that it

must perform periodic review of the CAA section 111

new source performance standards (NSPS). USEPA

believes that a coordinated advisory committee that

addresses all categories of sources at the same time will

result in more consistent regulations and greater

environmental benefits. USEPA invited nominations

for the committee.

for Architectural Coatings

July, 1996

ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER NO. 506

15

On June 25, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 32729), USEPA

proposed volatile organic material (VOM) emissions

limitations on a class of consumer and commercial

products for U.S. sale and distribution: architectural

coatings. USEPA proposed the action under section

183(e) of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), based on its

determination that emissions from consumer products

can contribute to tropospheric ozone formation. The

proposed rule would define an "architectural coating" as

"a coating recommended for field application to

stationary structures and their appurtenances, to

portable buildings, to pavements, or to curbs.” The

proposed regulation would impose limitations on the

VOM content of 55 categories of architectural coatings.

It would also impose product labeling, testing,

recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.

Alternatively to compliance with the VOM limitation,

USEPA is considering allowing the importer or

manufacturer to pay an "exceedance fee" to keep the

product on the market. USEPA anticipates that it will

adopt the rules in time so that they will become

effective as to coatings imported or manufactured for

sale or distribution in the U.S. on and after April 1,

1997.

USEPA estimated that the rule would nationally

reduce VOM emissions from these products by 106,000

tons per year (tpy), or by 20 percent of the 530,000 tpy

in base year 1990 emissions. The reductions in ozone

nonattainment areas would amount to about 46,800 tpy,

at an approximate cost of $538 per ton reduced in those

areas. USEPA estimated that the overall societal cost of

the regulations would amount to $25 million. It

anticipates that if all products that exceed the VOM

limitation are reformulated to comply, the cost of

compliance will be about $260 per ton of reduction in

VOM emissions. USEPA estimated that about 12

percent of the market would pay an exceedance fee for

their products, which comprise 2 percent of industry

output, rather than comply with the applicable VOC

limitations.

(Note: This is the second consumer products VOM

limitations proposal published by USEPA this year. On

April 2, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 14531), USEPA proposed

VOM emission standards for 24 categories of household

consumer products, ranging from air fresheners to

automotive and household cleaners, hairsprays,

adhesives, household pesticides, nail polish removers,

and shaving creams. USEPA estimated that the

proposed household consumer products emission

standards would reduce VOC emissions nationally by

90,000 tons per year, at a cost of $260 per ton of VOC

removed nationwide, which translates to $563 per ton

when proportioned for the usage by the 110 million out

of 260 million Americans who live in nonattainment

SEPA Advisory Committee Meetings

On June 25, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 32796), USEPA

announced meetings of five of its advisory committees.

The committees involved are the Integrated Risk Project

Steering Committee, the Ecological Processes and

Effects Committee, the Environmental Health

Committee, the Drinking Water Committee, and the

Radiation Advisory Committee.

The Integrated Risk Project (IRP) Steering

Committee is an ad hoc committee established by the

Executive Committee of the Science Advisory Board

(SAB). IRP's mission is to develop an updated ranking

of the relative risk of different environmental problems

based upon explicit scientific criteria, to provide an

assessment of techniques and criteria that could be used

to discriminate among emerging environmental risks

and identify those that merit immediate attention, to

assess the potential for risk reduction and propose

alternative risk reduction strategies, and to identify the

uncertainties and data quality issues associated with the

relative rankings. It was scheduled to meet in

Alexandria, Virginia on July 16 and 17, 1996.

The Ecological Processes and Effects Committee

(EPEC) of the SAB is intended to evaluate the process

for framing the risk assessment to respond to

management goals; to select relevant assessment

endpoints and measures and develop conceptual models

that represent the interactions among multiple stressors,

exposure pathways, ecological effects, and ecosystem

processes; and to develop an analysis plan. EPEC will

meet on July 18 and 19, 1996 in Washington, DC

SAB's Environmental Health Committee (EHC) is

engaged in two studies of interest. EHC will discuss

and review two documents: the EPA's Proposed

Guidelines for Neurotoxicity Risk Assessment and the

revised Thyroid Cancer Risk Assessment Policy

Document. It will meet on July 18 and 19, 1996 in

Washington, DC

The Drinking Water Committee (DWC) will meet

on July 16 through 18, 1996 in Washington, DC The

purpose of the DWC meeting is to evaluate the

approach to enumerating pathogens in drinking water

supplies, to identify procedures and advice relating to

endocrine disruptors, to consider the impacts revisions

to the Cancer Guidelines may have on the assessment of

waterborne cancer hazards, to finish drafting the

DWC's report on the Agency's five year research plan

for microbes and disinfectant by-products.

SAB's Radiation Advisory Committee (RAC)

meeting will plan an upcoming review on the

and August 1, 1996 in Washington, DC

roposed Revision of 1986 Guidelines for Cancer

Risk Assessments

On June 25, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 32799), USEPA

invited public comment on its proposed amendments to

the 1986 Guidelines for Cancer Risk Assessment. That

proposed amendments appeared in the

Federal Register

on April 23, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 17960). USEPA stated

that it has used the 1986 Guideline to evaluate numerous

environmental agents. The results of its studies were

put into its Integrate Risk Information System (IRIS)

and subsequently used in making USEPA regulatory

decisions. Once USEPA finalizes the new guidelines, it

intends to continue to use the IRIS data based on the

1986 Guideline studies, so long as that data remains

valid, but USEPA does not intend to reassess all

substances in IRIS under the new guidelines. USEPA

states that under the new guidelines it intends to

annually publish a list of potential candidate substances

for evaluation.

roposed TSCA Rule to Require Testing Health

Effects of 21 CAA HAPs

On June 26, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33177), USEPA

proposed a rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act

that would require the manufacturers of 21 Clean Air

Act (CAA) hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) to test them

for certain health effects. The 21 compounds are

biphenyl, carbonyl sulfide, chlorine, chlorobenzene,

chloroprene, 3 cresol isomers, diethanolamine,

ethylbenzene, ethylene dichloride, ethylene glycol,

hydrochloric acid, hydrogen fluoride, maleic anhydride,

methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl methacrylate,

naphthalene, phenol, phthalic anhydride,

1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, and

vinylidene chloride. USEPA further sought proposals

for performance of pharmokinetic studies that would

allow extrapolation of oral dose rates to predict risk

from inhalation exposure. USEPA also withdrew an

August 12, 1986 (51 Fed. Reg. 28840) proposal for

testing the oncogenicity of vinylidene chloride.

roposed Restrictions on the Use of Pesticides to

Protect Groundwater Supplies

On June 26, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33259), USEPA

proposed restrictions on the use of five pesticides

identified as probable or possible carcinogens. The

proposed restrictions on the use of alachlor, atrazine,

cyanazine, metolachlor, and simazine will allow states

to protect groundwater resources through the

development of pesticide state management plans

(SMPs). A pesticide SMP will be implemented in the

context of a larger comprehensive state groundwater

protection program, which describes the state's overall

approach to groundwater protection An SMP will

consist of several elements that describe the state's

ground-water protection philosophy and its resources for

controlling use of the pesticide and accomplishing its

goals. Under the proposed rules, USEPA would

evaluate a state plan for pesticide use restrictions and

use its authorities under the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to restrict the use of the

pesticide. In proposing SMPs for the five pesticides,

USEPA outlined that 15 additional pesticides are under

consideration for SMPs.

mendments Proposed for CAA Nonmetallic

On June 27, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33415), USEPA

proposed amendments to the Clean Air Act (CAA)

standards of performance for new stationary sources

(NSPS) applicable to nonmetallic mineral processing

plants. USEPA adopted the NSPS on August 1, 1985

(50 Fed. Reg. 31328). USEPA stated that the proposed

amendments are intended to reduce the costs associated

with emissions testing, recordkeeping, and reporting.

The proposed amendments would not affect the

numerical emissions limitations, except those applicable

to individual enclosed storage bins.

ew CAA Emissions Standards Proposed for

Highway Heavy-Duty Engines

On June 27, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33421), USEPA

proposed new Clean Air Act engine emissions standards

for heavy-duty highway engines. The proposed

amendments would reduce emissions from bus and truck

engines beginning in model year 2004. USEPA stated

that the amendments would reduce nitrogen oxides

(NO

x

) emissions by 50 percent and also reduce

Hydrocarbon and particulate matter emissions from

these engines. Several provisions of the amendments

would increase the durability of emissions controls and

provide flexibility to manufacturers in complying with

the rules.

nternal Guidance for Deriving Superfund MRLs

and Existing MRLs for Hazardous Substances

Republished

On June 27, 1996 (61 Fed Reg. 33511), the

Department of Health and Human Services, Agency for

Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)

republished its internal guidance for development of

minimum risk levels (MRLs) for hazardous substances

occurring at Superfund sites. ATDSR originally

published the guidance on May 23, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg.

25873), but republication was necessary due to errors in

the document as originally published. (See memo of

June 21, 1996.) A listing of the several hazardous

substances for which MRLs have already been

developed appears in the guidance. As previously

stated, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization

Act requires that ATSDR and USEPA work jointly with

regard to hazardous substances found at Superfund sites.

ATSDR and USEPA are to derive a listing of the

hazardous substances most commonly found at these

sites and prepare toxicological profiles of these

substances to determine significant human exposure

levels (SHELs). ATSDR developed the MRLs in the

course of fulfilling the mandate to develop SHELs.

ASTDR stated that it used the "no-adverse-effect-

level/uncertainty factor approach" and considered "the

people most sensitive to such substance-induced effects"

in deriving the MRLs. The MRLs are derived for acute

(1-14 days), intermediate (15-364 days), and chronic

(365 or more days) exposure durations and the oral and

inhalation routes of exposure.

roposed Addition of Seven Industry Groups to

EPCRA Reporting Requirements

On June 27, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33587), USEPA

proposed the addition of seven industry groups to the

reporting requirements under section 313 of the

Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know

Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution

Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA). The seven industry

groups are metal mining, coal mining, electric utilities,

commercial hazardous waste treatment, wholesale

chemicals and allied products, wholesale petroleum bulk

stations, and solvent recovery services. Under EPCRA

section 313 certain manufacturing facilities in SIC codes

20 through 39 report annually on their releases,

transfers, and other waste management practices with

regard to more than 600 listed toxic chemicals and

chemical categories. The information provided is then

made publicly available through a variety of means,

including an annual report issued by USEPA. USEPA

and the states use the information as the basis for

environmental decisionmaking. USEPA estimated that

SIC codes 20 through 39 represent only 0.4 percent of

facilities nationwide and only 5 percent of the toxics

release inventory. For these reasons, USEPA is

proposing expansion of the industry segments required

to report. In the same issue of the

Federal Register

(61

Fed. Reg. 33619), USEPA announced that it will

conduct public meetings on August 7, 1996 in San

Francisco and August 14, 1996 in Washington, DC to

discuss the proposed added industry groups.

dministrative Stay of Used Oil Mixtures Rule

Vacated

On June 28, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33691), USEPA

published a notice explaining the effect of a recent court

action on an administrative stay of the used oil mixtures

rule. USEPA stated that the January 19, 1996 order of

the District of Columbia Circuit court was to reinstate

the mixtures rule.

Pursuant to Section 3014(a) of RCRA (42 U.S.C.

§ 6935(a)), as added by § 7(a) of the Used Oil

Recycling Act of 1980, Pub. L. 96-463, 94 Stat. 2055,

2057, and amended by § 242, of the Hazardous and

Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, Pub. L. 98-616, 98

Stat. 3221, 3260, USEPA adopted the used oil

regulations on September 10, 1992 (57 Fed. Reg.

41566). Those regulations set forth a set of less

burdensome rules that apply to used oil destined for

recycling in lieu of the general hazardous waste

management regulations. USEPA intended to ensure

that hazardous waste regulation of used oil does not

discourage recycling of this material, consistent with the

protection of human health and the environment. A

segment of the used oil rules, the mixtures rule, governs

when mixtures of hazardous waste and used oil are

regulated as hazardous waste and when they are

regulated under the used oil standards (and the general

hazardous waste rules, including the land disposal

restrictions, are inapplicable).

A couple of weeks after USEPA promulgated the

used oil regulations, the District of Columbia federal

court released its decision in

Chemical Waste

Management, Inc. v. EPA

, 976 F.2d 2 (DC Cir. 1992),

cert. denied

, -- U.S. --, 113 S. Ct. 1961 (1993), in

which the court determined that USEPA could not allow

dilution as an acceptable form of waste treatment for the

purposes of land disposal. Challenges subsequently

arose to the used oil mixtures rule of 40 CFR 279.10(b)

based on the

Chemical Waste Management

decision, in

Safety-Kleen Corp. v. EPA

, No. 92-1629 (DC Cir.) On

September 15, 1994, by agreement of the parties, the

court remanded the used oil mixtures rule to USEPA for

further consideration. As a result, USEPA intends to

I

I

P

P

A

A

---

ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTER No. 506

July, 1996

18

propose a new regulation governing the management of

used oil mixtures.

On October 30, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 55202), USEPA

stayed the segment of the used oil regulations, at 40

CFR 279.10(b)(2), applicable to mixtures of used oil

and characteristic waste or waste listed because it

exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste that is

destined for recycling. (see memo of November 15,

1995.) The effect of that stay was that the general

hazardous waste regulations, including the land disposal

restrictions, apply to these used oil mixtures until

USEPA takes further regulatory action. USEPA

undertook this action until it could adopt a new used oil

mixtures rule, it will stay 40 CFR 279.10(b)(2).

The court vacated the stay because it believed that

USEPA could not amend an effective rule without

notice and comment. The court believed that USEPA

would vacate the rule only under the good cause

exception of the federal Administrative Procedure Act.

USEPA stated that the effect of the stay was to reinstate

the mixtures rule.

(Note: The Board will act in the next RCRA Subtitle

C update docket, R96-10, the time-frame of the original

October 30, 1995 stay, despite the fact that the

appropriate docket for normally acting on this notice

would be R97-5, for the period January 1 through June

30, 1996. The likely effect of Board action on this

notice is non-action on the original stay. The stay

actually worked to make the regulatory burden greater

on affected facilities by making their wastes subject to

omment Invited on USEPA Options in Dealing

Gasoline

On June 28, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33703), USEPA

invited comments on its options in light of a decision of

the World Trade Organization (WTO) that the Clean Air

Act (CAA) reformulated gasoline rules violated U.S.

obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and

Trade (GATT). WTO determined, based on a

complaint filed by Venezuela and Brazil, that the

reformulated gasoline rules unjustifiably discriminated

against imported gasoline. USEPA is trying to identify

and evaluate options for responding to the decision

consistent with the protection of human health and the

environment and U.S. obligations under GATT. The

reformulated gasoline regulations require refiners to use

a baseline of 1990 for fuel quality. USEPA stated that

there is presently no way for importers to gauge their

1990 quality.

AA Advisory Committee to Meet

On June 28, 1996 (61 Fed. Reg. 33736), USEPA

announced that the Clean Air Act (CAA) Advisory

Committee was to meet in Arlington, Virginia on July

31, 1996. The committee advises USEPA on issues

relating to all aspects of implementation of the CAA.

USEPA did not state the agenda for the meeting.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

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 July 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.

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 July 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.
