PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT

PROPOSED OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):

On August 9, 1990, the Board enter-ed a final Opinion and Order- in R88—26,

which involved adoption of regulations which are identical in substance to

USEPA regulations implementing the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The Board

will utilize this Docket to make needed corrections to the regulations adopted

in R88-26. The Board will receive public comment on this Proposal until 45

days after the date of publication in the Illinois Register.

Section 17.5 of the Act provides for quick adoption of regulations which

are “identical in substance” to federal regulations; Section 17.5 provides

that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the Illinois 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 SDWA program was drawn from 40 CFR 141, 142 and 143 (1989).

The Board is aware of two areas in the R88-26 Order which may require

correction. First, on August 6, 1990, the Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency) filed a supplemental post—adoption comment, which included the text

of the materials it asked to be incorporated by reference in its July 20,

1990, comment. (PC 14 in R88-26) The August 6 comment did not arrive in time

to be reviewed in advance of the August 9 meeting. However, it will be

necessary to revise the titles of the incorporations by reference to conform

with the actual titles in the documents.

Second, on September 2, 1990, the Board received a request from Access

Analytical Systems, Inc. (Access) for inclusion of the “MHO-N1UG~ or “Colilert”

methods for bacterial analysis. As was discussed on page 47 of the August 9,

1990, Opinion in R88-26, these were omitted since 40 CFR 141.21(f) references

only journal articles which do not actually set forth the methods. Access has

provided supplemental materials which actually describe the methods.

The Board will make the August 6, 1990, Agency comment in R88—26 PC 2 in

this Docket, and the September 2, 1990, Access coment PC 1. Also, on

September 12, 1990, the Board received a letter from the Agency requesting

inclusion of the 

MMO-MUG

test. (PC 3)

PROCEDURAL HISTORY OF R88-26 and R9O-4

115—57

—2—

The SDWA rules were recently adopted in Docket R88-26. The Board entered

a Proposed Opinion and Order on October 5, 1989. The proposal appeared on

December 1, 1989, at 13 Ill. Reg. 18690. Following the public comment period,

the Board adopted a “Final” Opinion and Order on May 24, 1990. The Board then

allowed a post—adoption coment period. On August 9, 1990, the Board withdrew

the May 24 Opinion and Order, and substituted a new Opinion and Order. The

final rules will appear in the Illinois Register in the near future.

In R88—26 the Board adopted regulations to correspond with USEPA rules

adopted through June 30, 1989. The Board reserved Docket R9O-4 to update the

rules through December 31, 1989. However, on June 21, 1990, the Board

dismissed R90—4, after determining that the USEPA amendments affected only

language which was not to be adopted in R88-26.

APA

AND

INCORPORATIONS BY REFERENCE

The rulemaking concerns mainly mainly ‘incorporations by reference”. In

Part 611 these are mainly references to analytical methods published by a

variety of sources. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and

derived regulations, restrict the use of such references in rules. (Ill. Rev.

Stat. 1989, ch. 127, par. 1006.02) An Illinois agency may incorporate such

standards or guidelines into a rule without publishing the standard or

guideline in full if:

1.  The standard is from a federal agency or a nationally recognized

organi zati on.

2.  The rule contains the address of the agency or organization for

purposes of ordering the standard.

3.  The agency or organization makes copies readily available to the

public.

4.  The rule includes the date of the standard.

The rule states that it does not include later editions or

amendments.

6.

The agency maintains a copy of the standard in its files for

public

inspection and copying.

Incorporations by reference have been a major issue in several identical

in substance rulemakings, including the underground storage tank program

adopted in R88—27 (April 27, 1989; 13 Ill. Reg. 9519, effective June 12,

1989.

Section 7.2(a)(4) authorizes the Board to incorporate USEPA rules by

reference where it is possible to do so without causing confusion. to the

public. Section 7.2(a)(4) concerns “normal’ incorporations by reference, in

which the Board references a USEPA rule rather than adopting the verbatim

text. “Normal” incorporations are usually placed at the appropriate point in

the verbatim text. Section 611.102 concerns “abnormal” ir,corporations by

reference. These mainly consist of technical documents which are 

referenced

11’~—58

in the body of the verbatim text. ‘Abnormal’ incorporatior’s also include

USEPA rules which are referenced in the verbatim text, but which are not a

part of the program the Board is supposed to adopt. For example, in the

drinking water rules, !JSEPA may cite to analytical standards for wastewater.

The APA requirements on incorporation by reference are “enforced” by way

of JCAR ‘eview of the documents during the first and second notice periods

pursuant to Section 5 of the APA. Because Section 17.5 of the Act provides

that Section 5 of the APA does rot apply to identical in substance rulemaking,

the Board is not required to obtain JCAR prior approval of these documents.

However, Section 17.5 does not include a specific exemption from the APA

limitations on incorporation by refererce.

There is a potential conflict between the

requirements 

of the APA and the

identical

in substance mandate if 

a USEPA rule cites to a document which the

APA prohibits.

In such a situation 

the

Board balances the requirements of the

APA and the Act. The Board

considers: whether the 

reference is really

necessary to the identical in substance

program; whether the APA violation

amounts to a due process question;

and, 

whether- there are alternative ways,

such

dS

setting forth the substance of the standard in

the rule.

tt’iO-MUG TEST

40 CER 141.21(f)(3)(iv) allows the 

use of the

“MMO—IIUG test” (“minimal

medium ortho-nitrophenyl—beta-d—galactopyranoside 

- 4-methyl—umbelliferyl-

beta-d-glucuronide test”) or “Autoanalysis

Colilert System” as a method for

total coliform analysis. The corresponding Board rule is 

35 Ill. Adm. Code

611.526. USEPA cites to a series of journal articles for these methods. The

initial problem was that the APA authorizes incorporation by reference of

“standards or guidelines”, but not journal articles. This

was

discussed

in

the R88—26 Proposed Opinion as follows:

The fifth category is journal articles. These relate

to two articles concerning P-A Coliform tests in the

AWWA journal “Applied and Environmental

Microbiology”. The

APA

definitely does not authorize

incorporation

by reference of journal articles.

Hopefully the contents of these will be in the 17th

Edition of Standard Methods. If not, the Agency and

USEPA will need to obtain permission from the

authors

and publisher to reprint the articles in the rules.

(R88-26 Proposed Opinion, October 5, 1989, p. 13)

The Board received no

response whatsoever to this issue in the Proposed

Opinion.

(See PC 5 in R88—26, items 25 through 27) The Board therefore

undertook to find the journal articles and attempt to obtain permission from

the publisher. This led to several discoveries: First, the the journal is in

fact published by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), rather than

AWWA as implied in the USEPA rule. Second, al though the journal articles

discuss the “MMO—MUG’ test, they do not tell a person how

to perform 

the

test. Therefore, in the May 24, 1990, Opinion and Or-dc—, the Board dropped

this method from the

~~U1CS. 

The

discussion 

was as follows:

115—59

-4-

The fifth category is Journal articles. These

relate to two articles concerning Coliform tests in

the ASM

journal “Applied and Environmental

~icrobiology”.These are referenced in 40 CF~

141.21(f) (Section 611.526). The API\ does 

rot

uothoni ze incorporation by reference of 

journal

irticles. In the Proposed Opinion, the Board

u~pressedhope that the contents of these 

will ~e in

the

17th Edition of Standard Methods. 

They do not

~ppearto be present. The Board indicated tnat if

standard methods were not available, the Agercy or

USEPA

would need to obtain permission from the authors

c~fld

publisher to reprint the articles in the rules.

one obtained permission.

These journal articles are reporting the results

field trials of 

new

methods. The articles do not

iude the details of the

methods themselves, such

~t a person read the articles and carry out the

ethod. As such, they are not “standards or

~uidelines” which can be incorporated pursuant to

~ection 6.02(a) of the APA.

The USEPA rule indicates that these journal

~rtjclesare available from the AWWA. The Board

called AWWA. They had never heard of them. The

jou-nal is in fact published by the American Society

for

Microbiology, ASM Publications Department, 1913 1

~t.,N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006 (202) 833-9680.

They make reprints available, but in minimum orders of

100 copies.

54 Fed. Peg. 29998, July 17, 1989, appears to be

~:he only USEPA action during the first update period

or these rules. (July 1 through December 31,

1989.) This adds to this reference additional journal

~rticles,which suffer the sane flaws. The Board

requests clarification of th~agencies’ position

(luring the final comment period. (P88—26 Opinion of

May 24, 1990, p. 30)

The Bou~d

received no response whatsoever to this issue during the post—

adoption coinent period. (See PC

14 in P88—26, p. 18 

—

21, 47) 

Or’ August 9,

1990, the 3o~cc therefore adopted the rules without

reference 

to the TO-MUG

test. (kUd-US Opinion of August 9, 1990, p. 47)

As is discussed in the final paragraph of the above quotation, on July

17, 1989, 1JSEPA added additional journal articles discussing the lIMO—MUG

test. TIii.s was the only USEPA action during the July 1 

December 31, 1989

update pe-~~o.On June 21, 1990, the Board dismissed P90-4, after determining

that the jou~nai articles would not appear in the Board rules in the first

place. The 

hoard received no comment whatsoever on P90-4.

115—60

Following

the final adoption 

of P83—26, the Board

was contacted by

Access. The t~~10-NIUGtest is a pro~ietary method in which

Access sells tubes

containing the a culture medium and the “Colilert reagent”. Coliform bacteria

metabolize the ortho—nitrophenyl-beta—d-galactopyranosiie, freeing o—nitro—

phenol, which 

is detected through color- change.

Access has provided the Board with a 

number

of documents describing the

test. As noted above, the journal articles cited by USEPA discuss the MMO—MUG

test, but do not describe it. Rather, they start with the assumption that tne

reader is already familiar with the test itself. Access has also provided an

article describing the test, entitled “Rapid specific environmental coliform

monitoring”, by S. Stratman, American Laboratory, July, 1983. Howeve, this

is still a journal article. The better reference appears to be the

instruction sheet 

which Access provides with the culture medium

and reagent.

Although the instruction sheet has the format of a “standard or

guideline”, 

it comes from a private company. However, in view of USEPA’s

incorporation by reference of this method, the Board will accept Access as a

“nationally recognized organization.” for purposes of this identical in

substance rulemaking.

There are two types of colilert test: a presence absence (P/A) test and

a most probable number (MPH) test. The latter actually exists in at least

three variations. All appear to be encompassed within the USEPA references.

A possible conflict exists between 40 CFR 141 and the colilert methods.

While the former requires sample collection in accordance with the 16th

Edition of Standard Methods, the latter requires the 17th Edition.

As discussed above, USEPA added additional references to the MMO-MUG test

in the July 17, 1989, Federal Registe—. However, these amendments appear to

amend USEPA language which had been repealed on June 29, 1990. Since the

repealed language does not appear in the Board rules, there is no place to

insert these additional references. The Board has therefore proposed no

changes in response to the July 17, 1989, USEPA amendments, but solicits

comen t.

OTHER INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE QUESTIONS

In PC 14 in. P88-26, the Agency indicated that certain out-of-date

analytical methods had to be referenced in Part 611. Or August 6, 1990, the

Agency provided the Board with a collection of many of the methods it wanted

referenced, hut this was not received in time to aid in preparing the Order in

R88—26. The Board attempted to follow the Agency’s 

reconinended Methods, but

many of the references were inaccurate or incomplete, since the Board did not

yet have the documents in front of it at the time the Order was drafted.

The Board has below corrected and completed the references to correspond

with the documents received from the Agency. The follo~irg items referenced

in P88—26 are still missing:

has

proposed to delete ASTI

Methods D1367, D112G and

D1293. These were used in the corrosivity monitoring in Proposed Sections

611.621 et seq. in the R88—26 Proposal. Corrosivity monitoring was dropped,

as was discussed on page 92 of the August 9, 1990 Opinion in R33—25. In that

tnis appears to have been the only use made of these references, the Board has

115—62

proposed to delete them.

The Board has proposed to delete the reference to Standard Methods, 16th

Edition, Method 912K. As was discussed on page 62 of the August 9, 1990,

Opinion in R88-26, this reference was used in the draft Guidance Manual for

the determination of “groundwater under the direct influence of surface

water”, which is reflected in Section 611.212. However, in that the reference

was dropped from the final version of the Guidance Manual, the Board dropped

it from Section 611.212. In that this appears to be the only use of Method

912K, the Board has proposed do delete it from the incorporation by reference

Section.

Section 611.526

To this Section is added the reference to the t1MO—MUG 

test discussed

above.

Section 611.606

In subsection (a), the reference to “ASTM 2972” has been modified to

“ASTM 2972A or B”, to conform with the Agercy documentation.

Section 611.610

In subsection (d), Standard Methods, 14th Edition, “Method 3258” has been

modified to “Method 320 and 32OA” to conform with the Agency documentation.

Section 611.720

In subsection (b)(1), “NTIS” has been specified as the source of

“Procedures for Radiochemical Analysis...”, to conform with Section 611.102.

ORDER

The Board proposes to amend 35 Ill. Adm. Code

MICROBIOLOGICAL MONITORING AND ANALYTICAL REQUIREMENTS

Section 611.526 Analytical Methodology

a)

The

standard sample volume required for total colifor-m analysis,

regardless of analytical method used, is 100 ml.

b)  Suppliers need only determine the presence or absence of total

coliforms, a determination of total colifor-m density is not required.

c)  Suppliers shall conduct total coliform analyses in accordance with

one of the following analytical methods, incorporated by reference in

Section 611.102:

Multiple—Tube Fermentation (MTF) Technique, as set forth in:

Standard Methods, 16th Edition, Method 908, 9084 and 9088,

except that 10 fermentation tubes must be used; or

B)  Microbiological Methods, Part III, Section. B 4.1—4.6.4, pp.

114-118, (Most Probable Number Method), except that 10

fermentation tubes must be used; or

Membrane Filter (HF) Technique, as set forth in:

A)  Standard Methods, 16th Ed i ti on, Method 909, 909A and 9093;

or

115—73

—13-

Microbiological Methods, Part III, Section 8.2.1—2.6, pp.

108-112; or

3)  P-A Coliform Test, as set forth in: Standard Methods, 16th

Edition, Method 9O8E—~—; or

MMO-MUG test.

d)  In IICU of the 10—tube MTF Technique specified in subsection (c)(1),

a supplier- may use the MIF Technique using 

either five tubes (20—mnl

sample portions or

a single culture bottle containing the culture

medium for the NITF 

Technique, i.e., lauryl tryptose broth (formulated

as described in Standard Methods, 16th Edition, Method 9084,

ir-corporoted by reference in Sectior 611.102) as long as a 100—ml

water sample is used in the analysis.

e)  Suppliers shall conduct fecal colifor-m analysis in accordance with

the following procedure:

When the MTF Technique 

or P—A Coliform

Test is used to test for

total coliforms, shake the lactose—positive presumptive tube or

P—A bottle vigorously and transfer the growth with a sterile 3—

mm loop or sterile applicator stick into brilliant green lactose

bile broth and EC medium, defined below, to determine the

presence of total and fecal coliforms, respectively.

2)

For

Microbiological Methods, referenced above, which use a

nembrance filter, remove the mnembrone containing the total

col i for-Hi cci onies from

the

substrate with a sterile forceps arc

carefully curl and insert

the membrane into a tube of EC

medium. (The laboratory may first remove a small portion of

selected colonies for verification). Gently shake the

inoculated EC 

tubes to insure adequate mixing and incubate in a

waterbath at 44.5 

+/— 

0.2 degrees C for 24 

+/-

2 hours. Gas

production of any amount in the inner- fermentation tiuhe of the

BC medium indicates a positive fecal coliform test.

The preparation of EC medium is described in Standard Methods,

16th Edition, Method 908C.

Supplier-s need only determine the presence or absence of fecal

coliforms, a detemnination of fecal coliform density is not

roqui red.

Section 611.610  Special Monitoring for Sodium

a)  CWS suppliers shall collect and analyze one sample per plant at the

entry point of the distribution system for the determination of

sodium concentration levels; samples must be collected and analyzed

annually for CWSs utilizing surface water sources in whole or in

part, and at least every three years for CWSs utilizing solely

groundwater sources. The minimum number of samples required to be

taken by the supplier is based on the number of treatment plants used

by the supplier, except that multiple wells drawing raw water from a

single aquifer may, with the Agency approval, be considered one

treatment plant for determining the minimum number of samples. The

Agency shall require the supplier to collect and analyze water

samples for sodium more frequently in locations where the sodium

content is variable.

b) The CWS supplier shall report to the Agency the results of the

analyses for sodium within the first 10 days of the month following

the month in which the sample results were received or within the

first 10 days following the end of the required monitoring period as

specified by special exception permit,-whichever of these is first.

If more than annual sarnpling is required the supplier shall report

the average sodium concentration within 10 days of the month

following the month in which the analytical results of the last

sample used for the annual average was received.

c)  The CWS supplier shall notify the Agency and appropriate local public

health officials of the sodium levels by written notice by direct

mail within three months. A copy of each notice required to be

provided by this subsection must be sent to the Agency within 10 days

of its issuance.
