    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by S.T. Lawton, Jr.):
     
    Section 13(c) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/13(c) (2000))
    requires the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance,” as defined at Section 7.2
    of the Act, to underground injection control (UIC) regulations that the United States
    Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted to implement provisions of the Safe
    Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. § 300h
    et seq
    . (1998)). USEPA has codified its UIC regulations
    at 40 C.F.R. 144 through 148. The Board reserved this docket for any UIC amendments adopted
    by USEPA between January 1, 2001, through June 30, 2001.
     
    During that time period, USEPA did not amend its UIC regulations. Therefore, no action
    is necessary, and the Board hereby dismisses this docket.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, do hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 23rd day of August 2001 by a vote of 7-0.
