IN THE MATTER OF:

MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS TO

35 ILL.
ADM.
CODE,
SUBTITLE C:
WATER POLLUTION.
)
ADOPTED RULE.
FINAL ORDER.
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by
R.
C.
Flemal):
The Board opened this docket by Order
of January 21,
1988
for
the purpose of providing
a vehicle
for making minor
amendments
to the Board’s rules
and regulations.
Today the Board
takes
final action.
In its Request
for Public Comment which accompanied
the
January 21,
1988 Order,
the Board noted:
From time
to time the Board, as well as practitioners
before the Board, encounter aspects in the Board’s
rules and regulations which warrant correction, but
which are not of the nature
to justify the time and
expense associated with conducting an
individual
rulemaking
to address each.
The Board proposes
today
to gather together these materials and address them
within
a single proceeding.
In so doing, the Board
borrows
a page from the Illinois General Assembly,
which often addresses a group of housekeeping matters
in
an “omnibus bill”.
In
this sense, the instant
matter
is meant
to be the Board’s version of an
omnibus rulemaking.
In its Request
for Public Comment the Board further
identified
some examples of amendments
it believed appropriate
for inclusion
in this exercise,
and
invited
(1)
comment on the
example amendments, and
(2) suggestions
for and merits of
additional amendments suitable for inclusion
in an omnibus
rulemaking
proceeding.
The Board
indicated that inclusion of
a
suggested amendment within
the eventual proposal would be based
at the minimum on
(1) desirability of the amendment,
(2)
likelihood
that
the amendment will be non—contentious,
and
(3)
likelihood
that
the amendment will not require an Economic Impact
Statement.
Each of ‘these criteria was selected
to assure
that
the omnibus ru1emakin~could proceed
in an expeditious manner.
The January 21,
1988 Request
for Public Comment elicited
three comments,
one each from the Great
Lakes Chapter
of
the
Sierra Club, Waste Management of Illinois, mc,
and the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (“Agency”).
98—123

—2—
The Board subsequently incorporated certain amendments into
a single proposal which it found
to be consistent with the
concept of an omnibus rulemaking.
Since
all but one of the
proposed amendments was directed
to the Board’s Water Pollution
Regulations, Subtitle C,
the Board also limited the scope of this
proceeding
to just that Subtitle.
First Notice of this proposal was adopted
on September 8,
1988 and publication occurred at
Illinois Register,
Vol.
12,
Issue
41,
October
7,
1988,
pp. 15815—15853.
No comments were
filed
in response
to the First Notice publication.
Public hearings were held
in Springfield on October
27,
1988
and
in DeKaib on November
4,
1988.
The sole testimony given at
the two hearings was
a brief statement by the Agency noting
its
concurrence with the proposed amendments
(R.
at 9—10).
On December
5,
1988 the
Illinois Department of Energy and
Natural Resources determined that
a formal Economic Impact Study
was not required
in this matter,
finding
that the proposed
regulation has no economic impact.
The Economic and Technical
Advisory Committee concurred
in this determination on December
15,
1988.
On November
10 and December
9,
1988 the Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs filed documents which indicated
that there would be no economic effect on small businesses
from
the proposed
rulemaking.
On January
5,
1989 the Board adopted
the proposal
for Second
Notice without change from the First Notice proposal.
On
March
1,
1989,
the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules
(“JCAR”)
issued a certification of no objection
to the proposed
amendments.
However, JCAR made certain recommendations
for minor
changes similar
to those recommendations made by the Illinois
Administrative Code Unit
to provide consistency for publication
of the amendments in the Illinois
Register.
The Board accepts
these recommended changes.
DISCUSSION OF AMENDMENTS
Section 301.200
Over time, various definitions have been added
to
the water
pollution regulations
in Parts other than Part
301.
In some
cases
these new definitions are possibly not consistent with the
definitions presented
in Section 301.200
et
seq.
This amendment
to 301.200 specifies that, should conflict arise,
the definition
in the Part
in
quest’ion prevails.
98—124

—3—
Section 301.260
Section 306.103 was renumbered
to Section 306.320 at
7 Iii.
Reg.
5682, effective April
19, 1983.
This amendment acknowledges
the renumbering
in
a form consistent with Illinois Administrative
Code Unit practice.
Section 301.365
This amendment deletes treatment works owned
by federal
agencies from the definition of Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(“POTW”).
As the Board noted
in Scott
Air
Force Base v.
IPCB
(PCB 88—69,
Slip Op.
at
4,
August 10,
1988),
40 CFR 122.2
(1987)
excludes federally—owned treatment works from the definition of
POTW.
Accordingly, this amendment provides unity between the
federal definition and
the Board’s regulations.
Section 301.430
This amendment is made
to provide consistency between
Section 301.430 and
the regulations of Parts
307 and 310.
Section 302.211(f)
The relationship between British thermal units (“B.T.U.s”)
per hour and megawatts as previously expressed is
incorrect by
a
factor of one hundred.
That
is, 0.5 billion B.T.U.s per
hour is
equivalent
to 150 megawatts, not 15,000 megawatts.
0.5 billion BTUs per hour
is the figure present
in the
Board’s original adoption of thermal standards
(Ref:
In the
Matter of:
Thermal Standards,
Lake ~1ichigan,R70—2,
1 PCB 695
et
seq.;
In the Matter
of:
Ohio—Wabash Thermal Standards,
R71—12,
2
PCB
563 et
seq.;
and In
the Matter of Mississippi Thermal
Standards,
R70—l6,
3 PCB 177
et seq.).
The 15,000 megawatts
figure was added as
a supplement
to the original BTU figure
in
1982 concurrently with codification of
the regulations
(which
also codified Section
302. 211 out of former rule 203(i)).
At
that time the Board
introduced presumably equivalent metric units
of measurement
for the previously existing English units.
In
this case
an error was made
in the conversions, which the instant
amendment corrects.
Section 302.211(j)
These amendments change
the
internal references within
the
Section
to a form consistent with similar internal references
elsewhere within
the Board’s regulations.
98—125

—4—
Section 302.304
This amendment substitutes
a spelling used elsewhere within
the Board’s regulations
for an otherwise acceptable, but not
commonly used, alternative spelling.
Section 302.504
This amendment deletes the cyanide limit identified
in this
Section.
The numeric value of the cyanide limit is the same as
that specified
in the General Use
Standards, Section 302.208.
Since
the Lake Michigan water quality standards are cumulative
with the General Use Standards pursuant
to Section 302.501,
inclusion of the cyanide limit within Section 302. 504
is
redundant and inconsistent with treatment afforded other water
parameters which
have identical numerical limits
in the General
Use and
Lake Michigan Standards.
Section 302.507
These amendments correct a reversal
in the captions for the
columns representing Centigrade
and Fahrenheit temperatures.
They also correct the conversion of B.T.U.s
to megawatts,
as
in
the amendment
to Section 302.311(f),
above.
Section 302.509
The rationale and nature of the amendments here are the same
as that
in the amendment of Section 302.211(f).
That
is,
the
correct conversion to megawatts
is made.
Section 304.104
This amendment provides consistency of internal references,
identical
to that
in Section 302.211(j),
above.
Section 304.124(e)
This amendment corrects reversed cross—references for
the
constituents mercury and pH.
Section 304.140
Section 304.140 deals with the conditions under
which delays
in upgrading of effluent discharges
are allowable.
The amendment
repeals the entirety of the Section.
There are no facilities any
98—126

—5—
longer regulated
under
Section 304.140,
and therefore deletion of
this Section does not impose hardship on any discharger
(R. at 8—
9).
Moreover, Section 304.140 applies
to actions and possible
actions now entirely
in the past,
and therefore no longer has
practical import (Agency Comment at
3).
Section 305.102
In its January 21,
1988 Request for Public Comment the Board
proposed to modify this Section with the purpose of eliminating
duplication and possible inconsistencies between the reporting
requirements
found at 305.102 and
the new reporting requirements
found
in Part 310, as adopted by the Board
in R86—44
(In the
Matter of:
Pretreatment Regulations,
December
3,
1987).
In its
comment
the Agency advised against this action,
claiming that it
would eliminate the Agency’s authority to require reporting
from
pretreatment works which are not subject
to the categorical
pretreatment standards of Part 307.
For this reason
the Board
at
First Notice retreated
from its earlier proposal.
This
notwithstanding,
the Agency recommended that the Board’s proposal
for
adding paragraph
(c)
to this Section be retained.
Paragraph
(c)
indicates that reporting under Part
310
satisfies the requirements of Section 305.102.
Its inclusion
serves
to
eliminate
possible
confusion
on
this
matter.
Section
309.281
The previous language
in Section 309.281, which determines
the effective date of Subpart
B, does not reference the calendar
date upon which Subpart B became effective.
Rather, reference
is
to “the date of filing with the Secretary of
State”
and
to “such
time as the Agency adopts criteria
to administer
the permit
program”.
Thus,
to identify the calendar date,
an
interested
person had
to go outside of the regulations, which
is an
unnecessary inconvenience.
Accordingly,
this Section is amended
by inclusion of the specific calendar dates in question.

ORDER
The Clerk of the Pollution Control Board
is directed
to
submit the following adopted rule
to the Secretary of State
for
final
notice.
