Letter From the Chairman
Census 2000, the information cornerstone for the next century and the
largest peace-time mobilization in U.S. history, is about to begin and you
are needed to make it a success. In Executive Order Nineteen, Governor
Ryan requested that each state agency alert their constituencies about the
importance of the upcoming census and its impact on Illinois.
Billions of federal, state, and local dollars will be spent on thousands of
projects across our nation and each state’s census information will
determine how these moneys will be spent. For example, allocation
decisions about public transportation, traffic control, education, health
care, job training, and business development are based on each state’s
profile. But government officials aren't the only ones who will use Census
2000 data. Senior citizen groups often draw on statistics from the census to support the construction of
community centers. Nonprofit organizations use census numbers to estimate the potential pool of volunteers
in their communities. Developers analyze census data before deciding where to locate new business ventures.
Census statistics help determine where to build more roads, stoplights, hospitals, health clinics, and child-
care centers.
The information gathered from Census 2000 will also impact Illinois’ environment and our State’s
environmental initiatives. Census data will not only be used to study environmental issues like urban sprawl,
but it will also be used to gain a better understanding of our State’s changing population and how government
agencies like the Board can better serve the people of Illinois.
Census 2000 is your chance to make sure that the new century in Illinois begins with an accurate and
complete picture of our State. Your contacts, your knowledge, and your concern about Illinois’ communities
are the keys to an accurate census, and that is why Illinois needs you to start spreading the word about the
importance of Census 2000. Set the record straight by dispelling the myths about confidentiality and the uses
of the census. Reassure others that Census 2000 is confidential and that the information collected is protected
by law. Emphasize why the information collected in the census is important to Illinois’ communities.
The Census Bureau also needs your help in recruiting census takers in every neighborhood across Illinois and
the nation. Spread the word about census jobs to your family, friends, and associates. The Census Bureau
needs to hire a large number of workers who are conversant with the many languages spoken in our State and
across the United States. There is a toll free number for census jobs. To apply or for more information
please call 1-888-325-7733 or visit their website at (http://www.census.gov/jobs2000/www/index.html).
As always, thank you for your participation.
Yours,
Claire Manning, Chairman

Federal Update
United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts Tier 2 Motor Vehicle Emissions Standards and Gasoline
Sulfur Control Requirements
On February 10, 2000, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted standards that finalize a
major program implementing the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (42 U.S.C. §§ 7401
et seq
. (1996)) which is
designed to significantly reduce the emissions from new passenger cars and light trucks, including pickup trucks,
vans, minivans, and sport-utility vehicles. 65 Fed. Reg. 6698 (February 10, 2000). The program is a comprehensive
regulatory initiative that treats vehicles and fuels as a system, combining requirements for much cleaner vehicles with
requirements for much lower levels of sulfur in gasoline. The USEPA believes that these reductions will provide for
cleaner air and greater public health protection, primarily by reducing ozone and particulate matter pollution.
Highlights of the program include the phased-in application of the same set of emission standards covering
passenger cars, light trucks, and large SUVs starting in 2004. The program also introduces a new category of
vehicles, “medium-duty passenger vehicles,” bringing larger passenger vans and SUVs into the Tier 2 program.
During the phase-in period, interim fleet emission average standards that match or are more stringent than current
federal and California Low-Emission Vehicle Phase I standards will be applied.
The regulations apply the same standards to vehicles operated on any fuel. The program sets more stringent
particulate matter and evaporative emission standards. For commercial gasoline, the USEPA reports that the program
will significantly reduce average gasoline sulfur levels nationwide as early as 2000. Refiners will generally have to
add refining equipment to remove sulfur in their refining processes. The reduction in sulfur levels will also contribute
directly to cleaner air in addition to its beneficial effects on vehicle emission control systems. Importers of gasoline
will be required to import and market only gasoline meeting the sulfur limits. The regulations also introduce an
averaging, banking, and trading program to provide flexibility for refiners and ease implementation of the gasoline
sulfur control program.
The USEPA expects a reduction in oxides of nitrogen emissions of at least 856,000 tons per year by 2007 and
1,236,000 tons per year by 2010, the time frame when many states will have to demonstrate compliance with air quality
standards that will result from the implementation of these regulations. Emission reductions are expected to continue
increasing for many years, reaching at least 2,220,000 tons per year in 2020. In addition, the program is designed to
reduce the contribution of vehicles to other serious public health and environmental problems, including volatile
organic compounds, particulate matter, regional visibility problems, toxic air pollutants, acid rain, and nitrogen
loading of estuaries. The reductions, and their resulting environmental benefits, are expected to come at an average
cost increase of less than $100 per passenger car, an average cost increase of less than $200 for light trucks, an
average cost increase of about $350 for medium-duty passenger vehicles, and an average increase of less than 2
cents per gallon of gasoline, or about $120 over the life of an average vehicle.
After the USEPA rules become effective, the Board would anticipate receipt of a similar proposal from the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency for promulgation under the “fast-track” provisions of Section 28.5 of the Illinois
Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/28.5 (1998)). The regulations become effective April 10, 2000. For further

United States Environmental Protection Agency Proposes Deferral of Phase IV Standards for PCBs as an
Underlying Hazardous Constituent in Soil
On February 16, 2000, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) proposed amendments to
temporarily defer a portion of the rule applying Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) to underlying hazardous constituents (UHC) in soils contaminated with certain
characteristic hazardous wastes for metals. 65 Fed. Reg. 7809 (February 16, 2000). The USEPA promulgated the rule
applying LDR under RCRA to UHC in contaminated soils on May 26, 1998.
The USEPA is proposing to temporarily defer the requirement that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) be considered a
UHC when they are present in soils that exhibit the toxicity characteristic for metals. The USEPA is proposing this
action because the regulation appears to be discouraging generators from cleaning up contaminated soils, which is
contrary to what the USEPA intended when it promulgated alternative treatment standards for contaminated soils. In
addition, the USEPA needs more time to restudy the issue of appropriate treatment standards for metal-contaminated
soils which also contain PCBs as UHC.
For further information contact: Ernesto Brown at 703/308-8608; e-mail: brown.ernie@epa.gov
The pendancy of the USEPA amendments may be addressed in the Board’s currently pending identical-in-substance
proposal for public comment, In the Matter of: RCRA Subtitle C Hazardous Waste Update, USEPA Amendments
(July 1, 1999, through December 31,1999), R00-13. If the USEPA takes action before the close of the record in R00-13,
the Phase IV Standards may be included in the Board’s rulemaking docket R00-13. For further information contact:

United States Environmental Protection Agency Reopens Comment Period for the Proposed Rule for Standards for
Pesticide Containers and Containment
On February 24, 2000, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) reopened the comment period on
the proposed rule “Standards for Pesticide Containers and Containment” (59 Fed. Reg. 6712 (February 11, 1994)) for
an additional 30 days until March 20, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 9234 (February 24, 2000). On October 21, 1999 (64 Fed. Reg.
56918), the USEPA reopened the comment period to obtain comment on four specific issues.
The October 21, 1999 notice solicited comments on potential changes that would reduce the scope of the container
standards, add an exemption for certain antimicrobial pesticides, and adopt some of the Department of Transportation
hazardous materials regulations. That notice also requested comments on the definition of small business, used to
identify small pesticide formulators, agrochemical dealers and commercial pesticide applicators in the small entity
impact analysis.
For further information contact: Nancy Fitz at 703/305-7385; e-mail: fitz.nancy@epa.gov
The Illinois pesticide program is established by the Illinois Pesticide Act (IPA) (415 ILCS 60/1
et seq
. (1998)). The
IPA is administered by the Department of Agriculture and is enforced by the Department of Public Health and the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
Rule Update
Board Dismisses Three Reserved Identical-In-Substance Rulemaking Dockets, R00-9, R00-12, and R00-14
On February 17, 2000, the Board dismissed three reserved identical-in-substance rulemaking dockets in In the Matter
of: Definition of VOM Update, USEPA Regulations (July 1, 1999, through December 31, 1999), R00-9; In the Matter
of: RCRA Subtitle D Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 1999, through December
31, 1999), R00-12; and In the Matter of: UST Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 1999, through December 31, 1999),
R00-14. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) did not amend its regulations during the
period from July 1, 1999, through December 31, 1999, in any way that would necessitate corresponding Board action
to amend the Illinois regulations. Section 7.2 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 (1998))
requires the Board to adopt regulations which are “identical in substance” to regulations adopted by the USEPA.
The term “identical in substance” is defined at Section 7.2 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2 (1998)).
