that the Board amend the Groundwater Quality Standards at 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 620 to incorporate those constituents that were

promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency

Board’s procedural rules.

The proposal is accepted for hearing.

with current requirements.

directed to require the Agency to provide any additional

information which may be necessary.
