AND

215, ORGANIC

PLANTS

PROPOSED RULE

 SECOND NOTICE

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD

 (by B. Forcade):

This matter comes before the Board on

 a March

11,

 1986,

regulatory proposal by

the

Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency

 (Agency)

for

 the control of organic material emissions

from polystyrene plants.

 Hearings were held

 on October

15,

 1986,

in Chicago and on October

16,

 1986,

 in Joliet.

 Comments were

received through January 23, 1987.

 On January 16, 1987,

the

Department of Energy and Natural Resources

 (DENR)

 filed

 a letter

of negative declaration of economic

 impact,

 obviating

 the need

for further economic study

 of the proposed rules.

The

Economic

and Technical Advisory Committee of the DENR filed

 a concurrence

on January 22,

 1987.

 The Agency filed

 an amended proposal on

April

6,

 1987, which entailed non—substantive codification

changes.

On May 28,

 1987, the Board proposed regulatory language

for

first notice comment which was published at 11

 Ill.

 Reg.

 10985,

June 19,

 1987.

 The statutory 45—day comment period ended on

August

3,

 1987.

 The Agency filed first notice comments, which

were mailed

 on August

3,

1987

 (P.C.

2).

 The Administrative Code

Unit

 of the Secretary of State’s office also filed comments

regarding non—substantive format changes.

 Those changes have

been incorporated

 in today’s second notice order.

 Additionally,

the Board deletes one of

 the incorporations by reference,

as

unnecessary to this regulation.

A detailed discussion of the evidence and Board resolution

of the issues is provided

 in the May

28,

 1987, Opinion in

 this

matter and will not

 be repeated here.

 However,

 a brief summary

is provided.

 Today’s proposal is one of

 a series of Board

actions directed at promulgating rules implementing reasonably

available control technology (“RACT”)

 for the control

 of ozone

precursors from existing major stationary sources

 (emissions

greater than 100 tons/year).

 The implementation of RACT in non—

 attainment areas for ozone

 is required as part of

 a federally

approvable state implementation plan under

 the federal Clean Air

Act,

 42 U.S.C. 7401

et

 seq..

 The proposed

 rules would control

80—223

—2--

volatile organic material

 (“VOM”)

 emissions from major stationary

polystyrene plants.

 Four facilities were identified

 as being

regulated by the proposed rules

 in urbanized non—attainment

planning areas.

 All four facilities appear

 to be currently in

compliance with the proposed rule.

 Consequently,

 there

 is no

cost associated with compliance with these

 rules.

The Agency,

 in its comments, notes that there are currently

pending proposed amendments

 to the definition of “volatile

organic material”

 (VOM)

in

 a separate docket, P86—37.

 These

proposed amendments would delete the vapor—pressure based

definition of VOM and would modify the definition proposed

 in the

instant docket.

 The Agency recommends deleting the definition

contained in the Board’s proposed

 rule in the P86—12 docket and

replace

 it with the proposed definition

 in P86—37.

 The Board

believes that the best course of action

 is to retain the existing

 definition

 of VOM proposed at Section 215.104

 in this proceeding

and address the proposed redefinition of VOM

 in the R86—37

docket.

 First, there

 is no record established

 in the instant

proceeding supporting

 such

 a change.

 Second, the Board has not

yet substantively ruled on the merits regarding the proposed

redefinition

 of VOM pending

 in P86—37,

as

 the record still

remains

 open.

 (See

 P86—37,

 Proposed Redefinition of VOM, Opinion

and Order,

 July 16,

 1987.)

 The Board, by this discussion,

 does

place

 the potentially affected polystyrene manufacturing sources

on notice of

 the proposed redefinition of VOM pending

 in docket

R86—37.

The Board will propose rules

 for second notice review

 by the

Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.

 This action will help

fulfill the state’s legal

 obligations to demonstrate that

existing major stationary VOM emission sources in non—attainment

planning regions are subject to regulations representing RACT.

ORDER

The following amendments to 35

 Ill. Adm. Code 215 are

directed

 to second notice review by the Joint Committee on

Administrative Rules.

“Styrene Devolatilizer Unit”:

 Equipment performing the

function

 of separating unreacted styrene monomer and

other volatile components

 from polystyrene

in

 a vacuum

devolatilizer.

“Styrene Recovery Unit”:

 Equipment performing

the

function of separating styrene monomer from other
