IN THE MATTER OF:
R90—14
UIC UPDATE, USEPA REGULATIONS
)
(Identical in Substance Rules)
(1—l--90 THROUGH 8—31—90)
PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
PROPOSED ORDER OF THE BOARD (By J. Anderson):
Pursuant to Sections 13(c) and 22.4(a) of the Environmental
Protection Act (Act), the Board proposes amendments to the
Underground Injection Control (UIC) regulations.
Both Sections 13(c) and 22.4(a) provide for quick adoption
of regulations which are “identical in substance” to federal
regulations and that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) shall not apply. Because this
rulemaking is not subject to Section 5 of the APA, it is not
subject to first notice or to second notice review by the Joint
Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The federal UIC
regulations are found at 40 CFR 144, 146 and 148. This
rulemaking updates UIC rules to correspond with federal
amendments more fully outlined in the accompanying Opinion.
This Order is supported by an Opinion adopted on the same
day. The Board will receive public comment on the proposal for a
period of 45 days following its publication in the Illinois
Register. The complete text of the proposed rules follows.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

SUBPART A:
GENERAL
Section 738.101
Purpose Scope and Applicability
a) This Part identifies hazardous wastes that are
restricted from disposal into Class I hazardous waste
injection wells and defines those circumstances under
which a waste, otherwise prohibited from injection, may
116—180
3
be injected.
b) The requirements of this Part apply to owners or
operators of Class I hazardous waste injection wells
used to inject hazardous waste.
c) Wastes otherwise prohibited from injection may continue
to be injected:
1) If an extension from the effective date of a
prohibition has been granted pursuant to Section
738.104; or
2) If an adjusted standard has been granted in
response to a petition filed under Section
738.120; or
3) If the waste is generated by a conditionally
exempt small quantity generator, as defined in 35
Ill. Adm. Code 721.105.
~j Wastes that are hazardous only because they exhibit a
hazardous characteristic, and which are not otherwise
prohibited from injection under this Part, are not
prohibited from injection if the wastes:
fl
Are disposed into a nonhazardous or hazardous
waste in-jection well defined under 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 730.106(a); and
.~j. Do not exhibit any prohibited characteristic of
hazardous waste identified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
721.Subpart C at the point of in-iection.
