ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):

Section 22.40(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.40(a)

(1998)) 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 July 1,

2000, and December 31, 2000.

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 1st day of March 2001 by a vote of 7-0.

Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
