ADOPTED RULE
 FINAL ORDER
OPINION AND
ORDER
OF THE BOARD
 (by B. Forcade):
This matter comes before
 the Board on an August
 26,
 1985,
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
 (“Agency”) motion
 to
reopen the record
 in this regulatory proceeding concerning the
internal offset rule (Section 215.207), coke manufacture and by-
product recovery (Part
 215, Subpart
 U)
 and petroleum solvent
 dry
cleaners
 (Part 215, Subpart Z).
 That motion was granted and
hearings were authorized on September 20,
 1985.
 This opinion and
order addresses the Agency’s regulatory proposal regarding
petroleum dry cleaners.
The Agency amended its regulatory proposal on November
 25,
1985.
 Hearings were held December
 2 and
 3,
 1985,
 in Chicago and
March
 20 and
 21, 1986,
 in Bolingbrook.
 The Agency made final
amendments to its proposal on May 8,
 1986,
 in response
 to
testimony and comments made at hearing by the Illinois Fabricare
 Association (“IFA”).
 The Department of Energy and Natural
Resources (“DENR”)
 issued a letter of negative declaration of
economic impact, obviating the need
 for further economic analysis
of the proposed rules,
 on March 24,
 1986.
 The concurrence of the
Economic and Technical Advisory Committee to the DENR was filed
on May 22,
 1986.
 The record
 in this matter closed on June 12,
1986 (Hearing Officer Order,
 May 29,
 1986).
On September 11,
 1986, the Board proposed regulatory
language
 for first notice comment which was published at 10
 Ill.
Reg.
 16142, October
 3,
 1986.
 The statutory 45—day comment period
ended on November
 17,
 1986.
 The Agency filed first notice
comments on October
 24,
 1986
 (P.C.
 97).
 The Administrative Code
Unit of the Secretary
 of State’s Office also filed comments
regarding non—substantive format changes.
 The Board proposed the
rules
 for second notice Joint Committee on Administrative Rules
(JCAR)
 review on December
 5,
 1986.
 The Administrative Code
Unit’s comments were incorporated
 in the second notice Order.
The Board acknowledges the contributions
 of David G.
Mueller, hearing officer,
 in this proceeding.
76-416
—2—
JCAR issued
 a Certification
 of No Objection on March
 4,
 1987,
 on
the condition that certain modifications were made at final
notice.
 These changes are reflected
 in today’s Order and will be
discussed further, below.
This
 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
 a part of a federally approvable state
implementation plan
 (“SIP”)
 under the federal Clean Air Act
(“CAA”)
 (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.).
 Section 172 of the CAA
requires that RACT be implemented at existing stationary sources
in the non—attainment areas of those states needing an extension
from the 1982 deadline until
 1987 to achieve the air quality
standard for ozone.
 Illinois
 is such a state,
 having requested
the extension in its 1979 and 1982 SIP.
The definition of RACT is contained in 40 CFR 51, along with
the requirements
 for
 a federally acceptable SIP.
 However, the
specific parameters of what constitutes reasonably available
controls, and, therefore,
 the parameters which the states must
 adopt to insure that RACT is implemented,
 are not.
 Instead,
 the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) publishes
a series
 of documents entitled “Control Technique Guidelines”
(“CTGs”).
 Each of the CTGs, which
 are summaries of industry
specific case studies, contains the means and the degree of
control which the USEPA requires the state
 to adopt categorically
as part of its SIPs in order
 to have an acceptable SIP.
 Failure
to adopt rules identical
 to those presented in the CTGs, or other
ones demonstrated by the individual state as comparable, can mean
that the state will have an inadequate
 SIP, which
 in turn can
trigger the sanction provisions of the CAA found at
 Sections 110,
113 and 176
 (42 U.S.C.A. 7410,
 7413, 7506).
 While
 the mandate
for sanctions
 is contained
 in the Clean Air Act, the mandate to
adopt the CTGs or
 otherwise demonstrate
 a state rule to be
comparable
 is not.
 It is not even contained
 in the federal
regulations,
 but instead
 is articulated
 in the “General Preamble
for Proposed Rulemaking and Approval of State Implementation Plan
Revisions for Non—attainment Areas”
 (44 FR 20372).
This federal policy statement includes yet another
requirement which
 is relevant to this rulemaking.
 The USEPA
allows the states until the January after one year from the
finalization of a CTG to adopt either
 the “rules” contained
therein,
 or comparable rules,
 if sources covered by that
particular
 CTG are within
 a state’s non—attainment areas.
 A
final CTG
 for petroleum dry cleaners was issued
 in September of
1982
 (Ex.
 29(c))
76-417
—3—
The Board,
 in
 a prior opinion, declined
 to adopt rules
regulating petroleum dry cleaners as neither of the two
facilities known to exist
 in the state would have been subject to
the rules
 as proposed.
 One facility fell below the regulatory
quantity of emissions threshold and the other facility was
located
 in an attainment county and utilized a different process
than envisioned by the proposed rules
 (Board Opinion, August 22,
1984,
 pp.
 39—40).
 At hearings held December
 2 and
 3,
 1985, the
Agency identified two major stationary sources located
 in non—
attainment areas that would be regulated.
Petroleum solvent dry cleaning
 is a batch process in which
articles are washed and dried
 in separate operations.
 Articles
are sorted and placed
 in appropriate washers where they are then
 agitated
 in the petroleum solvent.
 Heavily soiled articles may
go through two or more wash cycles;
 the first
 is with recycled,
soiled solvent and the second
 is with clean solvent.
 After
completion of the wash cycle, the articles are spun at high
speeds
 to remove excess solvent, usually
 in the same equipment
used for washing, but sometimes
 in a separate, high speed
centrifugal extractor.
 The soiled solvent extracted during the
spin cycle may be passed through
 a filter
 to remove insoluble
soils or passed to a vacuum still where the solvent
 is purified,
or both.
 The distilled solvent is pumped
 to a holding tank or
 is
returned to the washer/extractor.
 When the spin cycle has
terminated, articles are transferred from the washer/extractor to
a dryer
 (tumbler)
 (R.
 3194—95).
The CTG lists
 the major emission sources
 as the dryers,
solvent filtration systems and miscellaneous fugitive sources.
The nominal emission rate from
 a standard petroleum solvent dryer
is 14 kg to 18
 kg volatile organic material (“VOM”)
 per
 100 kg of
dry weight of
 articles cleaned.
 Proposed Section 2l5.607(a)(l)
would require
 this rate to
 be reduced to 3.5 kg VOM per
 100 kg of
dry weight which amounts
 to
 a RACT control efficiency of
 75 to 81
percent.
 The normal control method for achieving this reduction
would be
 to install recovery dryers
 in place of
 standard
dryers.
 A solvent recovery dryer has a condenser to remove
solvent vapor
 from the dryer exhaust by condensation
 (R.
 3195).
The emissions
 from the solvent filtration system are those
released from the diatomite filter systems, which
 the CTG
estimates as
 8 kg VOM per 100 kg of clothing throughput.
Proposed Section 2l6.607(b)(l) would require reduction
 to 1.0
 kg
per 100
 kg
 throughput for an average control efficiency of 88
percent.
 The CTG—recommended control method to achieve this
reduction would be
 to install cartridge filters
 in place of
diatomite filters.
 The emissions from cartridge filters are
derived from fugitive emissions due to leaks and cartridge filter
replacement, as well
 as from the solvent contained in the
disposed cartridge.
 The emissions were estimated by. the CTG to
range from 0.35
 to 0.75 kg VOM per 100
 kg clothing throughput
 (R.
3195—3196).
76-418
—4—
The other sources,
 i.e.,
 the vacuum still waste and the
miscellaneous fugitive sources are grouped in one general
category of fugitive emissions.
 The CTG states that improved
operation of equipment, good housekeeping practices and
inspection and repair of leaks should reduce emissions to 4.0
 kg
solvent per 100 kg dry weight.
 Considering these control
measures as a whole,
 the reductions required by the proposed
rules would give emissions of 8.5 kg volatile organic material
per 100 kg
 of clothing processed
 (R.
 3196).
The Agency conducted
 a field survey of petroleum dry
cleaning
 facilities
 in non—attainment areas.
 Six plants were
identified
 in Cook County.
 Four plants have emissions less than
100 tons/year and would be exempted by proposed Section
215.611.
 One of the two plants affected by the proposal, A.W.
Zengler,
 has already installed four recovery dryers and cartridge
filters.
 RACT compliance
 for this plant would require
installation of
 four more recovery dryers.
 The other affected
plant, Careful Cleaners, has seven standard dryers and would have
to install five or six recovery dryers (depending upon size
chosen)
 and to replace four diatomite filters with 11 cartridge
filters.
 The anticipated reductions from A.W.
 Zengler would be
approximately 51
 tons/year and from Careful 82 tons/year.
 These
reductions are based upon the assumption that installation of
RACT controls would reduce emissions to the level of 8.5 kg VOM
 per 100
 kg dry clothing from the 14.8
 kg VOM for A.W. Zengler and
from 30.4 kg VOM from Careful
 (R.
 3197—3199,
 Ex. 90).
Based
 upon the cost information provided by the CTG, control
costs were developed
 for
 the two plants affected by the proposed
regulation.
 The resultant costs are $350 per ton for A.W.
Zengler and $650
 per ton
 for Careful
 (R.
 3199—3202).
 These
estimates are well within the ranges of control costs for other
RACT categories.
 Industry has not refuted these cost estimates.
At the December
 2, 1985,
 and March 20,
 1986, hearings,
 the
IFA presented oral
 arid
written comments on the Agency proposal
(R.
 3208—3214,
 3668—3670,
 P.C.
 74).
 While expressing agreement
with the Board’s earlier decision not to regulate this segment
 of
the
 industry,
 they indicated that they had no real opposition to
the rule and,
 after review by their association technical staff,
suggested certain refinements and improvements
 to the Agency
proposal.
 These have been incorporated
 in the Agency’s most
recent amended proposal
 (Motion to Supplement the Record and to
Propose Adoption of Regulations Applying to Petroleum Solvent Dry
Cleaners, May 8, 1986).
The geographical applicability of the proposed rules
 is more
limited
 than the earlier
 1982 proposal.
 The current proposal
 is
applicable
 in counties that are either non—attainment counties
for ozone or are
 part of the major urbanized areas associated
with the non—attainment counties.
 The Agency moved to amend
76-419
—5—
their proposal by adding Macoupin County on May 8,
 1986
 (Id.)
While no major petroleum dry cleaning facilities are located in
Macoupin County,
 1985 air monitoring data indicates that Macoupin
County is non—attainment
 for ozone.
 The Agency’s proposal in
this subcategory
 is consistent with the recent scope of
applicability proposed by the Board in another RACT proceeding,
R85—2l.
The Agency’s first notice comments respond to a Board
request
 in the September
 11,
 1986, Opinion regarding proposed
Section 215.612(b).
 That subsection provided that should an
attainment county be redesignated as non—attainment at some point
in the future that the regulations shall be applicable
 to that
county and contiguous counties.
 The Agency moved to withdraw
that subsection as it was of dubious legality and was not
considered an essential element or necessary for federal approval
(P.C. 97).
 That subsection,
 along with Section 215.613(b)
 and
 (C),
 was withdrawn at second notice.
 In response to the
Administrative Code Unit’s comments, Section 215.610(b)
 and
 (C)
were modified at second notice.
At second notice, the Board modified the deadline for
submission of a compliance plan.
 Under
 the language of Section
215.613(a) proposed at first notice, the deadline for compliance
plans was December
 31,
 1986, which was clearly not
 a feasible
date.
 The Board
 proposed
 instead, the date of May
 31,
 1987.
During
 the second notice JCAR review, the Board agreed to
make the following modifications:
 1) to delete Section
215.608(b)(l)(B);
 2)
 to add
 to the end
 of Section 2l5.608(b)(2)
the following:
 “Criteria for the minimization of solvent vapor
emissions include the elimination of solvent buckets and barrels
standing open to the atmosphere, and the repair of gaskets and
seals that expose solvent—rich environments
 to the atmosphere,
 to
be determined through visual
 inspection.”;
 3)
 to delete Section
2l5.609(a)(5);
 4)
 to add
 in Section 215.610(b)
 “(1982) and does
not include any later amendments
 or editions” after
 “EPA—450/3—
82—009.”;
 5)
 to delete the phrase “or by procedures approved by
the USEPA” from the last line of Section 215.610(b);
 6)
 to add
“and does not include any later amendments
 or editions”
 at the
end
 of Section 215.610(b);
 and 7)
 to delete the first sentence of
Section 215.608 and
 to replace
 it with the following:
 “In order
to minimize fugitive solvent emissions, the owner or operator
 of
a petroleum solvent dry cleaning facility shall employ good
housekeeping practices including the following:”.
The Board will adopt
 rules
 regulating petroleum dry cleaners
for final notice as a final CTG for this category has been
issued,
 sources
 in non—attainment areas have been identified and
the rules constitute
 RACT.
 Cost effectiveness of RACT reductions
are within a reasonable range.
 A total
 of 133 tons/year of VOM
emissions will be eliminated in the Chicago area,
 a non—
76.420
—6—
attainment area for ozone.
 This action will also help fulfill
the state’s legal obligations
 to demonstrate that existing major
stationary emission sources
 in non—attainment areas are subject
to regulations representing RACT.

—12—
In order
 to minimize fugitive solvent emissions,
 the owner
 or
operator
 of
 a petroleum solvent dry cleaning facility shall
employ good housekeeping practices including the following:
a)
 General Housekeeping Requirements
1)
 Equipment containing solvent (washers,
 dryers,
extractors and filters)
 shall remain closed at all
times except during load transfer and
maintenance.
 Lint filter and button trap covers
shall
 remain closed except when solvent—laden
material
 is being removed.
~j
 Cans,
 buckets,
 barrels and other containers of
solvent or
 of solvent—laden material shall be
covered except when in use.
~j
 Solvent—laden material shall be exposed to the
atmosphere only for the minimum time necessary for
load transfer.
b)
 Installation and operation of equipment
1)
 All cartridge filters shall
 be installed and
operated
 in accordance with the procedures and
specifications recommended by the manufacturer for
the cartridg~efilter.
 After installation,
 the
cartridges shall be inspected, monitored and
maintained
 in accordance with
 the manufacturer’s
recommendations;
 and
2)
 Vents on containers for new solvent and for
solvent—containing waste shall be constructed and
maintained so as to minimize solvent vapor
emissions.
 Criteria for the minimization of
solvent vapor emissions include the elimination of
solvent buckets and barrels standing open to the
atmosphere, and the repair of gaskets and seals
that expose solvent-rich environments
 to the
atmosphere,
 to be determined through visual
inspection.
