ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
Section 22.40(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.40(a) (2000))
requires the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance,” as defined at Section 7.2
of the Act, to municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) regulations that the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted to implement Subtitle D of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C §§ 6941-6949 (1998); RCRA Subtitle D).
USEPA has codified the federal MSWLF rules as 40 C.F.R. 258. Accordingly, the Board
reserved this docket for USEPA amendments during the period between January 1, 2001,
through June 30, 2001.
During that time period, USEPA did not amend its MSWLF rules. 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.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
