ORDER

OF THE BOARD

(by

D.

anderson):

R80-20

is an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency)

proposal to replace the old Chapter 7:

Solid Waste.

Four hearings were held in early

1981.

The Agency agreed to

amend

its

proposal

to

accommodate

comments

made

at

these

hearings.

Deadlines

were

extended

several

times,

but

no

proposal was ever filed.

R81-3l is a Board proposal to update Chapter 9:

Special

Waste Transportation to conform with regulations recently

adopted under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act

(RCRA) (6 Iii.

Reg.

4828, April 28,

1982)

.

The Board

circulated a draft proposal and held three inquiry hearings,

the last consolidated with R80-20.

At the first hearing in R81-31 the Board draft was

criticized.

The Agency and the Illinois State Chamber of

Commerce indicated that they were working together on a

substitute proposal which would replace both Cn~apters7 and 9.

At the second and third hearings, the Board received progress

reports and partial drafts.

During this process it has

become

clear first that the subject matters of Chapters

7 and 9

require coordination to ensure consistency and,

second, that

it will be difficult to relate

the testimony on the former

proposals to the evolving combined proposal.

The Board

therefore hereby consolidates R80-20 and R81-31, and

at the

same time dismisses both.

Although coordination is necessary,

the subject matter

of Chapters

7 and

9 is too broad to handle in a single proceeding;

indeed, the Agency’s R80-20 proposal was too lengthy to conveni-

ently cover in a single rulemaking.

The Board will therefore

open dockets for convenient groupings of rules.

These may be

consolidated for hearings or decision at a later date if such

appears to be appropriate.

The Board has opened two dockets on this same

date:

R32—21

and R82—22.

The first will deal with the subject of Chapter 7

49-99

---

—2—

and Chapter 9 permits,

the portion of the Agency draft which

seems to be the most advanced,

This proposal should lay the

general foundation on which the regulatory program will rest.

R82—22 will deal with the landfill criteria,

a preliminary

draft of which has also been circulated.

Other dockets will

be opened at later dates

as seems appropriate.

R80-20 and

R8l-31 are hereby consolidated and dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
