Federal Update

United States Department of Justice Lodges Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation and Liability Act:

Estech Chemical Company Site in Calumet City

On October 3, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg.62076), the United States (U. S.) Department of Justice published notice in the

Federal Register of its September 19, 2002 filing in the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois of a

motion to lodge a proposed consent decree in United States v. General Iron Industries, Inc. et al., Civil Action No.

01 C 4889. In this action the United States sought to recover response costs incurred by the U. S. in connection

with the Estech Chemical Company Site in Calumet City, Illinois (the “Site”). The compliant alleges that the U. S.

undertook response actions as a result of releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at the Site, and that

General Iron Industries, Inc. (“General Iron”) is jointly and severally liable for the costs of such response actions as

a party that arranged for treatment or disposal of hazardous substances at the Site.

Under the proposed consent decree General Iron will pay $1.8 million to the Hazardous Substances Superfund as

partial reimbursement of response costs that the U. S. incurred in connection with the Site through March 15, 2002.

The proposed consent decree will not resolve potential liability of General Iron with respect to any costs incurred

subsequent to March 15, 2002, including costs of any final response action ultimately selected by for the Site by the

United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the proposed consent decree until November 2, 2002.

Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,

PO Box 7611, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should refer to United States v.

General Iron Industries, Inc., et al., D.J. Ref. 90-11-2-06487/1.

The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Office of the U. S. Attorney, 219 South Dearborn Street,

Chicago, Illinois 60604, and at U.S. EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois, 60604. A copy

of the proposed consent decree may also be obtained by mail from the Consent Decree Library, PO Box 7611, U.S.

Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611 or by faxing a request to Tonia Fleetwood, fax no. (202) 514-

0097, phone confirmation number (202) 514-1547. In requesting a copy, please enclose a check in the amount of

$4.50 (25 cents per page reproduction cost) payable to the U.S. Treasury.

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts Land Disposal Restrictions: National Treatment

Variance To Designate New Treatment Subcategories for Radioactively Contaminated Cadmium-, Mercury-,

and Silver-Containing Batteries Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

On October 7, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 62617), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted

direct final amendments to grant a national treatability variance from the Land Disposal Restrictions treatment

Environmental Register – October 2002

standards for radioactively contaminated cadmium-, mercury-, and silver-containing batteries by designating new

treatment subcategories for these wastes. This rulemaking was adopted in response to a rulemaking petition from

the Department of Energy.

In its notice of the rulemaking USEPA stated that the current treatment standards of thermal recovery for cadmium

batteries and of roasting and retorting for mercury batteries are technically inappropriate, because any recovered

metals would likely contain residual radioactive contamination and not be usable. Additionally, USEPA stated that

the current numerical treatment standard for silver batteries is inappropriate, because of the potential increase in

radiation exposure to workers associated with manually segregating silver-containing batteries for the purpose of

treatment. Macroencapsulation, in accordance with the provisions for treatment standards for hazardous debris, is

designated as the required treatment prior to land disposal for the new waste subcategories. This will allow safe

disposal of these radioactively-contaminated materials.

This rule is effective on November 21, 2002 without further notice, unless USEPA receives adverse comment by

November 6, 2002. If adverse comments are received, USEPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal

Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect.

Comments may be submitted electronically, by mail, or through hand delivery to: USEPA Docket Center

(EPA/DC), B102, EPA West, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460-0002.

Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460, telephone number 703-308-0436, email

address austin.john@epa.gov.

The Board will include any necessary amendments to Board rules resulting from this federal action in a future

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act identical in substance rulemaking pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 22.4 of the

Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2, 22.4 (2000)).

Environmental Appeals Board of the USEPA Dismisses a petition for review of an IEPA Minor New Source

Review ProgramAir Permit issued to Carlton, LLCZion North Shore Power Plant

On October 7, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 62467), the United States Environmental Protection Agency published a notice of

its Environmental Appeals Board’s (EAB) final determination for the Carlton LLC, North Shore Power Plant

(Carlton), located in the City of Zion, Lake County, IL.

This notice details the EAB’s February 28, 2001 decision dismissal of Carlton’s a petition for review of a permit

issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) pursuant to the regulations under Illinois' minor

New Source Review (NSR) program. The EAB dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction to review the permit.

The EAB stated that its jurisdiction is limited to permits issued under federal regulations and it does not extend to

appeals of State-issued minor NSR permits in approved States.

On November 10, 2000, Illinois EPA issued construction permit 99120057 to Carlton for the construction of either

three General Electric (GE) frame 7FA simple cycle turbines with a nominal capacity of 187 megawatts each or six

GE Frame 7EA simple cycle turbines with a nominal capacity of 98.2 megawatts each. The proposed turbines

would fire only natural gas and would be required to use dry low oxides of nitrogen combusters. On December 11,

2000, Verena Owen and the Lake County Conservation Alliance (LCCA) filed a petition for review stating that the

proposed facility was not a minor source, but in fact a major source of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile

organic materials, and hazardous air pollutants and should be subject to the NSR regulations. IEPA filed a motion

to dismiss the petition on January 5, 2001, in which it argued that the EAB lacked jurisdiction to review IEPA's

permit decision because the permit issued to Carlton was issued under the Illinois minor NSR program, rather than

the Federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration program. On January 22, 2001, the EAB issued an order

requesting USEPA's Office of General Counsel (OGC) to prepare an amicus brief on the issue of EAB jurisdiction.

OGC subsequently filed an amicus brief advancing the view that the EAB is without jurisdiction in this case.

Environmental Register – October 2002

The effective date for the EAB's decision is February 28, 2001. Judicial review of this permit decision, to the extent

it is available pursuant to section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, may be sought by filing a petition for review in the

United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit within 60 days of October 7, 2002.

The documents relevant to the above action are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the

following address: Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard (AR-18J), Chicago,

Illinois 60604. To arrange viewing of these documents, call Jorge Acevedo at (312) 886-2263. The EAB decision

can be obtained from the USEPA’s Web site at http://www.epa.gov/eab/disk11/carlton.pdf.

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts Effluent Limitations Guidelines, Pretreatment

Standards, and New Source Performance Standards for the Iron and Steel Manufacturing Point Source

Category Under the Clean Water Act

On October 17, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 64215), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted

Effluent Limitations Guidelines, Pretreatment Standards, and New Source Performance Standards for the Iron and

Steel Manufacturing Point Source Category. The final rule represents the culmination of the USEPA's effort to

revise Clean Water Act (CWA) effluent limitations guidelines and standards for wastewater discharges from the

iron and steel manufacturing industry. The final regulation revises technology-based effluent limitations guidelines

and standards for certain wastewater discharges associated with metallurgical cokemaking, sintering, and

ironmaking operations; and codifies new effluent limitations guidelines and standards for direct reduced

ironmaking, briquetting, and forging.

USEPA also revised the regulations for the steelmaking subcategory to provide an allowance for existing basic

oxygen furnaces operating semi-wet air pollution control systems; and to establish technology-based effluent

limitations guidelines and standards for electric arc furnaces operating semi-wet pollution control systems. USEPA

eliminated rule references to the following obsolete operations: beehive cokemaking in the cokemaking

subcategory, ferromanganese blast furnaces in the ironmaking subcategory, and open-hearth furnace operations in

the steelmaking subcategory.

This regulation is effective November 18, 2002.

For further information contact: George Jett at (202) 566-1070, or Ms. Yu-ting Guilaran at (202) 566-1072.

These amendments may come under the Board’s identical in substance rulemaking mandate. If so, the Board will

include any necessary amendments in an upcoming identical in substance rulemaking pursuant to Sections 7.2 and

17.5 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2, 17.5 (2000)).

Otherwise, the Board anticipates that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) will determine, as part

of the triennial review of the State’s water rules required by the Clean Water Act, whether any amendments to the

State’s water rules are necessary as a result of this federal action. If so, the Board would expect to receive a

regulatory proposal from the IEPA under Section 27 or 28.2 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/27,

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air

Pollutants for Publicly Owned Treatment Works Under the Clean Air Act

On October 21, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 64741), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted

amendments that promulgated the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for publicly

owned treatment works (POTW). USEPA promulgated these amendments as part of a settlement agreement with

Environmental Register – October 2002

the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) regarding its petition for judicial review of

the POTW NESHAP.

The amendments rescind an applicability provision; adopt, for all industrial POTW treatment plants that are area

sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), the same NESHAP requirements that apply to industrial POTW

treatment plants that are major sources of HAP; and exempt industrial POTW treatment plants that are area sources

of HAP from the permit requirements in section 502(a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

The effective date of the amendments is October 21, 2002.

For further information contact Mr. Robert Lucas, Waste and Chemical Processes Group, Emission Standards

Division (C439-03), Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, U.S. EPA, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711,

telephone number (919) 541-0884, facsimile number (919) 541-0246, electronic mail address lucas.bob@epa.gov

Pursuant to Section 9.1(b) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/9.1(b) (2000)), once adopted by

the USEPA, NESHAPs rules are applicable and enforceable under the Act without further action by the Board.

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the

Analysis of Pollutants Under the Clean Water Act

On October 23, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 65219), the United States Environmental Protection Agency adopted guidelines

establishing test procedures for the analysis of pollutants to include updated versions of test procedures (i.e.,

analytical methods) for the determination of chemical, radiological, and microbiological pollutants and

contaminants in wastewater and drinking water.

This final rule revises wastewater and drinking water regulations to incorporate the updated versions of analytical

methods that have been published by one or more of the following organizations: ASTM International (ASTM;

formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials), United States Geological Survey (USGS), United States

Department of Energy (DOE), American Public Health Association (APHA), American Water Works Association

(AWWA), and Water Environment Federation (WEF). Previously approved versions of the methods remain

This final rule is effective on November 22, 2002.

water methods, contact Herbert J. Brass, Technical Support Center (MS 140), USEPA, Office of Ground Water and

Drinking, 26 West Martin Luther King Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45268, e-mail: Brass.Herb@epa.gov.

The Board anticipates that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) will determine, as part of the

triennial review of the State’s water rules required by the Clean Water Act, whether any amendments to the State’s

water rules are necessary as a result of this federal action. If so, the Board would expect to receive a regulatory

proposal from the IEPA under Section 27 or 28.2 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/27, 28.2

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts New Analytical Methods for the Unregulated

Contaminant Monitoring Regulations and National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Under the Safe

Drinking Water Act

On October 29, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 65888), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted

amendments to its unregulated contaminant monitoring regulations to approve analytical methods for chemical and

microbiological contaminants.

Environmental Register – October 2002

The adopted rule approves the analytical method and an associated Minimum Reporting Level (MRL) to support the

Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation's List 2 Aeromonas monitoring. This List 2 monitoring will be

conducted at 120 large and 180 small Public Water Systems from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. The

rule also approves USEPA Method 515.4 to support previously required National Primary Drinking Water

Regulation (NPDWR) compliance monitoring for 2,4-D (as acid, salts and esters), 2,4,5-TP (Silvex), dinoseb,

pentachlorophenol, picloram and dalapon. In addition, USEPA Method 531.2 was approved to support previously

required NPDWR monitoring for carbofuran and oxamyl.

USEPA made minor changes in the format of the table of methods required to be used for organic chemical

NPDWR compliance monitoring to improve clarity and to conform to the format of other methods tables. In

addition, the Presence-Absence (P-A) Coliform Test listed in the total coliform methods table was inadvertently

identified as Method 9221. This has been corrected to 9221 D. Also, detection limits for “Cyanide” were added in

the “Detection Limits for Inorganic Contaminants” table for the two cyanide methods, and minor editorial

corrections were made.

Additionally, USEPA approved seven of the eight additional industry-developed analytical methods that were

proposed to support previously required NPDWR compliance monitoring. These seven methods include: a method

for the determination of atrazine, two methods for the determination of cyanide, two methods for the determination

of total coliforms and

, a method for the determination of heterotrophic bacteria, and a method for the

determination of turbidity. With respect to the eighth industry-developed method proposed on March 7, 2002,

USEPA is deferring a decision on its approval until additional clarifying information from the vendor is evaluated.

This regulation is effective November 29, 2002.

For information regarding the actions included in this final rule contact David J. Munch, EPA, 26 West Martin

Luther King Dr. (MLK 140), Cincinnati, Ohio 45268, telephone number (513) 569-7843, or e-mail at

munch.dave@EPA.gov. General information may also be obtained from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline.

Callers within the United States may reach the Hotline at (800) 426-4791. The Hotline is open Monday through

Friday, excluding Federal holidays, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

The Board is not required to adopt amendments related to unregulated contaminant monitoring, since USEPA

directly implements the federal requirements in Illinois with the cooperation of the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency. Therefore, public water supplies in Illinois must engage in unregulated contaminant monitoring

and must report their monitoring results to USEPA even though there are no corresponding state regulations.

United States Environmental Protection Agency Proposes Amendments to Testing and Monitoring

Requirements Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

On October 30, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 66251), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) proposed

to amend a variety of testing and monitoring requirements throughout the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

(RCRA) regulations. The amendments are part of the USEPA’s movement toward a performance-based

measurement system (PBMS), as part of its efforts towards “Innovating for Better Environmental Results.”

The proposal is intended to allow more flexibility when conducting RCRA-related sampling and analysis, by

removing unnecessary required uses of methods found in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,

Physical/Chemical Methods,'” also known as “SW-846”. Use of SW-846 methods will be required when the

method is the only one capable of measuring a particular property (

, it is used to measure a required method-

defined parameter).

Additionally, USEPA proposed to: withdraw the reactivity method guidelines from SW-846 Chapter Seven; amend

the ignitability and corrosivity hazardous waste characteristic regulations by clarifying the use of certain methods;

incorporated by reference Update IIIB to SW-846; add Method 25A for analyses conducted in support of certain

RCRA air emission standards; and remove a confidence limit requirement for certain feedstream analyses conducted

Environmental Register – October 2002

under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). USEPA also announced the

availability of a new guidance document for public comment entitled “RCRA Waste Sampling Draft Technical

Guidance.” By making this document available for review and comment, USEPA intends to provide draft guidance

on waste sampling that would be beneficial to the public. These changes are intended to make it easier and more

cost effective to comply with affected regulations, without compromising human health or environmental

Comment on the proposal must be sent on or before December 30, 2002. Comments should be sent to: OSWER

address: kirkland.kim@epa.gov.

If adopted by USEPA, these amendments will require Board identical-in-substance amendments to the RCRA

Subtitle C hazardous waste rules. The Board will incorporate any necessary amendments into a future identical-in-

substance rulemaking pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 22.4 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2, 22.4

Rule Update

Board Adopts Proposal for Public Comment in Noise Rule Update: Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900-

903 (R03-08)

On October 3, 2002, the Board adopted a proposal for public comment in Noise Rule Update: Amendments to 35

Ill. Adm. Code 900-903 (R03-08) to amend the Board’s noise regulations.

The noise rules affected are set forth at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900 and 903. These are general provisions dealing with

the definitions of acoustical terminology, prohibition against noise pollution, and sound measurement procedures.

The proposed changes involve the updating of definitions and sound measurement procedures. These definitions

and measurement procedures were adopted in 1973 and have not been amended or changed since then. The basis

for these changes is the American National Standards Institute updates from the years 1998-2001.

The Board also proposes to repeal Part 903, which specifies rules and regulations for the control of noise from

motor racing facilities.

The Board has held one hearing in this rulemaking in Chicago and has a second scheduled for November 21, 2002

at the Illinois Pollution Control Board Hearing Room 403, 600 S. Second Street in Springfield. Interested persons

are encouraged to contact the hearing officer to be added to the notice list in this docket. Copies of the Board’s

opinion and order may be obtained by calling Dorothy Gunn at 312-814-3620, or by downloading copies from the

Board’s Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us.

Board Adopts Proposal for Public Comment in RCRA Subtitle C Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1,

2002 through June 30, 2002) (R03-07)

On October 3, 2002, the Board adopted a proposal for public comment amendments that are “identical in substance”

to hazardous waste regulations that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted to

Environmental Register – October 2002

implement Subtitle C of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA Subtitle C) (42

U.S.C. §§ 6921

.). This proposal for public comment includes federal RCRA Subtitle C amendments that

USEPA adopted in the period January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2002.

This proposal does not include amendments based on federal actions the Board has already processed in prior

dockets. Those actions were those of January 22, 2002, March 13, 2002, April 4, 2002, April 9, 2002, May 8, 2002,

and June 4, 2002. The Board expedited consideration of these federal actions in a previous consolidated docket,

RCRA Subtitle C Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2001 through June 30, 2001), RCRA Subtitle C

Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001, January 22, 2002, March 13, 2002, and

April 9, 2002), UIC Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001), R02-1/ R02-12/R02-

17 (Apr. 18, 2002) (consolidated).

The Board proposed amendments to Illinois rules based on USEPA amendments of February 13, 2002 (67 Fed.

Reg. 6792), February 14, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 6968), and May 8, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 30811). The February 13,

2002 amendments addressed interim emission standards for hazardous waste combustors, the February 14, 2002

action amended the September 30, 1999 hazardous waste combustor rule to facilitate implementation of the rule,

and the May 8, 2002 amendments covered correction of segments of the consolidated permit rules of 40 C.F.R. 124

as printed in the 2001 edition of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Board also incorporated numerous

nonsubstantive cleanup amendments to the existing text of the Parts opened in this rulemaking.

The Board will receive public comments on this proposal for a period of 45 days following the November 1, 2002

publication in the

Illinois Register

. After that time, the Board will immediately consider adoption of the

amendments, making any necessary changes made evident through the public comments. The Board will delay

filing any adopted rules with the Secretary of State for 30 days after adoption, particularly to allow additional time

for USEPA to review the adopted amendments before they are filed and become effective.

Sections 7.2 and 22.4(a) provide for quick adoption of regulations that are identical in substance to federal

regulations that USEPA adopts to implement Sections 3001 through 3005 of RCRA (42 U.S.C. §§ 6921-6925

(2000)). Sections 13(c) and 22.4(a) also provide that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the Administrative

Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 and 5-40 (2000)) do not apply to the Board’s adoption of identical-in-

substance regulations. The federal RCRA Subtitle C regulations are found at 40 C.F.R. 260 through 266, 268, 270,

271, 273, and 279.

Board Adopts Second Notice Opinion and Order in Water Quality Triennial Review: Amendments to 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 302.105, 302.208(e)-(g), 302.504(a), 302.575(d), 309.141(h); and Proposed 35 Ill. Adm. Code

301.267, 301.313, 301.413, 304.120, and 309.157 (R02-11)

On October 17, 2002, the Board adopted a second notice opinion and order in Water Quality Triennial Review:

Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.105, 302.208(e)-(g), 302.504(a), 302.575(d), 309.141(h); and Proposed 35

Ill. Adm. Code 301.267, 301.313, 301.413, 304.120, and 309.157 (R02-11). The Board made only minor

nonsubstantive changes to the rules it proposed at first notice and sent the rulemaking, pursuant to the Illinois

Administrative Procedure Act (5 ILCS 100/1-1

(2000)), for review and consideration by the Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR).

This rulemaking is based on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (IEPA’s) November 9, 2001 proposal

as a result of the triennial review of the Board’s water regulations to fulfill the requirements of Section 303(c) of the

Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 U.S.C. 1313(c)). The CWA requires that, at least once every three years, states must

“review water quality standards to ensure that the standards are based on the most current information and are

protective of the designated uses of the state.”

Environmental Register – October 2002

The proposal adopted by the Board for second notice includes: (1) new acute and chronic numeric standards for

benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, and xylene (BETX) to replace existing 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.210, entitled "Other

Toxic Substances;" (2) revised water quality standards using a dissolved metal standard for zinc and nickel; (3)

corrections to an IEPA error in certain rules it proposed and the Board adopted in: 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 302.101;

302.105; 302.Subpart E; 303.443, and 304.222, R97-25 (December 18, 1997) (GLI rules); and (4) the use of

CBOD5 rather than BOD5 in NPDES permits regulating domestic and municipal waste.

The second notice proposal is substantially similar to the first notice proposal concerning BETX, the IEPA’s

corrections to the GLI rules, and the use of CBOD5 in permits. Regarding CBOD5, testimony and comments

presented by the Environmental Law and Policy Center, Prairie Rivers Network, and Sierra Club opposed the

proposed change. However, the Board found that the use of CBOD5, when combined with ammonia nitrogen

testing, resulted in an accurate assessment of treatment efficiency to determine compliance with a wastewater

treatment facility’s effluent limits under Section 304.120.

The Board did not adopt changes at second notice that would have changed the basis for the cyanide standard from

one derived from cold-water species to one derived from warm-water species. Taking into account that Illinois is

home to numerous species of threatened and endangered mussels, the Board found that there was not enough

evidence on the record to demonstrate the effects of cyanide on mussels. The hearing record and public comments

showed that relaxation of the standard would not prove to be of any real benefit to Illinois dischargers. The Board

concluded that the change to the cyanide standard was not justified at this time.

Prior to first notice the Board held hearings in this rulemaking in Chicago on January 29, 2002, and in Springfield

on March 6, 2002. The first notice proposal, adopted by the Board on June 20, 2002, was published in the

on July 5, 2002 at 26 Ill. Reg. 9573. During the first notice period the Board held a third hearing on July

25, 2002 solely to address economic impact study issues.

Adm. Code 302.100, 302.212, 302.213, and 304.122 (R02-19)

On October 17, 2002, the Board adopted a final opinion and order in Proposed Amendments to Ammonia Nitrogen

Standards 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.100, 302.212, 302.213, and 304.122 (R02-19) to amend the Board’s water quality

regulations. The adopted amendments were filed with the Secretary of State’s Index Department with a November

8, 2002 effective date. The adopted rules will be published in the

Illinois Register

on November 22, 2002.

The adopted amendments are virtually identical to the proposal adopted by the Board at second notice with only

minor typographical changes made to the text. The majority of the amendments were made in Part 302 and include:

(1) replacement of current un-ionized ammonia nitrogen standards with total ammonia nitrogen standards; (2)

recasting of the formulae for calculation of the acute and chronic water quality standards for total ammonia

nitrogen; and (3) the addition of a new standard for ammonia, the sub-chronic standard total ammonia standard.

Additionally, the Board repealed the provisions for Effluent Modified Waters (EMWs) found at 35 Ill. Adm. Code

302.213. The record in this proceeding demonstrates that EMWs have not been a useful construct, that no

discharges have applied for EMWs, and that the IEPA has not established any EMWs.

The adopted amendments require attainment of ammonia chronic standard to be determined by using at least four

samples taken at weekly intervals, or at other sampling intervals that statistically represent a 30-day averaging

period. Additionally, Section 302.212(c)(3) requires attainment of the sub-chronic standard to be determined by

averaging daily sample results collected over a period of four consecutive days. Sections 302.212(c)(2) and (c)(3)

require that samples must assure a representative sampling period.

35 Ill. Adm. Code Section 302.Appendix C contains a table of values for the equations presented in 302.212(b)

intended to provide an easy alternative to calculation of values for the equations. There are three tables, one for the

AS equation at 302.212(b)(1), and one each for the Early Life Stage Present and Early Life Stage Absent equations

Environmental Register – October 2002

for the ammonia CS at 302.212(b)(2). At second notice, the Board revised the table for the relationship between the

AS and pH by removing that portion of the table in which the equation relating AS to pH produced a result greater

than 15 mg/L. The AS may be less than 15.0 mg/L (which occurs at higher pHs), but pursuant to 302.212(a) may

not exceed 15.0 mg/L; the 15.0 mg/L maximum controls at pHs less than 7.7.

Prior to the Board’s first notice opinion and order, adopted on June 6, 2002 and published in the

Illinois Register

June 21, 2002 at 26 Ill. Reg. 8707, the Board held two hearings. The first hearing was held in Chicago on March

25, 2002, and the second in Springfield on April 23, 2002. During the first notice period the Board held a third

hearing on July 25, 2002 solely to address economic impact study issues before proceeding to second notice on

September 5, 2002.

Appellate Update

Fourth District Appellate Court Affirms the Board in Prairie Rivers Network v. The Illinois Pollution

Control Board; The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency; and Black Beauty Coal Co., No. 4-01-0801

(PCB 01-112)

In its October 24, 2002 decision, the fourth district appellate court affirmed the Board’s decision in Prairie Rivers

Network v. IEPA and Black Beauty Coal Co., PCB 01-112 (Aug. 9, 2001). The Board’s decision denied Prairie

Rivers Network’s (Prairie Rivers) petition challenging the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (IEPA)

decision to issue an NPDES permit to Black Beauty Coal Company (Black Beauty) for overflow from mine

reservoirs into a tributary of the Little Vermilion River. The appellate court issued an unpublished order under

Supreme Court Rule 23 (155 Ill.2d R. 23) in its case captioned Prairie Rivers Network v. The Illinois Pollution

Control Board; The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency; and Black Beauty Coal Co., No. 4-01-0801 (Oct. 24,

This order addresses several issues of first impression in the first third-party appeal of a National Pollution

Discharge Elimination Permit System (NPDES) permit issued by the IEPA since the 1997 authorization of third-

415 ILCS 5/40(e)(1), amended by P. A. 90-74, effective July 30, 1997. Among other things, the

court’s order provides useful guidance to the parties in future cases before the Board on issues including 1) the

standard of review of the Board’s decision, 2) the nature of the burden of proof on petitioner, 3) the correct

interpretation and inter-relationship of the state and federal regulations governing NPDES permit procedures. In

addition to the parties, the Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group and the Vermilion Coal Company as

briefed the issues before the Board.

The chronology of events is important in this case. In August 2000, the IEPA issued a public notice that it had

tentatively decided to issue Black Beauty an NPDES permit. The United States Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) requested 90 days to review the draft permit. The IEPA held a public hearing in which Prairie Rivers

participated. After receiving public comment and a US EPA objection to the draft permit, the IEPA revised the

permit. The USEPA retracted its objection and the IEPA issued a public notice of its decision to issue a final

NPDES permit to Black Beauty. The final permit was generally more restrictive and contained more conditions

than the original draft.

The court rejected Prairie Rivers’ contention that the Board misapplied the burden of proof. The court stated that

the record did not reveal that the Board analyzed its procedural objections on some basis other than whether the

IEPA issued the permit in violation of applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. The burden of proof is on any

third-party petitioner to show that the permit, as issued, would violate the Environmental Protection Act (Act) or the

Board’s regulations.

415 ILCS 4/40(e)(3) (2000).

On the substantive issues of appeal, Prairie Rivers argued that the Board’s decision to affirm the IEPA’s issuance of

the final NPDES permit was in error because (1) the IEPA failed to provide Prairie Rivers a meaningful opportunity

to participate in the final NPDES permit writing process; (2) the final permit did not include certain required

Environmental Register – October 2002

conditions; and (3) the IEPA improperly relied on documents produced by Black Beauty after the public comment

period. The appellate court rejected each argument.

First, Prairie Rivers argued that it was denied a meaningful opportunity to participate in the final NPDES writing

process. Prairie Rivers contends that after the IEPA revised the draft permit, it should have issued a second draft

permit and allowed further public comment. The court noted that the Clean Water Act does not require state

NPDES programs to reopen public comment or to prepare a second draft after receiving public comment on the

initial draft permit. Because the US EPA approved the Illinois NPDES program, the court evaluated Prairie Rivers’

objection solely on the basis of applicable provisions of the Act and state regulations. The Illinois NPDES program

did not require the IEPA to reopen public comment nor did any Illinois case law precedent. Consequently, the court

held that Prairie Rivers was not denied a meaningful opportunity to participate and that the IEPA followed the

appropriate procedures in issuing the final permit. The IEPA was not required to hold a second round of public

comment even when the final permit substantially deviated from the draft permit.

The court noted that Prairie Rivers raised several policy reasons why the IEPA should issue a second draft permit

and reopen public comment after making drastic revisions to an original draft permit. However, the court held that

it was not the forum in which those policy arguments should be addressed. The court suggested that Prairie Rivers

should address its proposed change in the regulations to the Board.

Next, Prairie Rivers argued that the IEPA failed to include certain monitoring conditions in the final NPDES permit.

Prairie Rivers contended that final permit improperly allowed Black Beauty to develop and submit a biological

inventory of the Little Vermilion River around the mine, and an operational plan to assure compliance with the

permit. The court held that this issue was moot and refrained from further comment.

Lastly, Prairie Rivers argued that the IEPA improperly relied on key documents Black Beauty produced after the

close of the public comment period. The court found that Prairie Rivers failed to show how the IEPA relied on

these “key documents.” Furthermore, Prairie Rivers failed to cite any authority to support its position.

Consequently, the court held that Prairie Rivers had forfeited the issue.

IEPA Restricted Status List

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

Division of Public Water Supplies

Restricted Status List -- Public Water Supplies

The Restricted Status List was developed to give additional notification to officials of public water supplies which

are in violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code, Subtitle F: Public Water Supplies, Chapter I or the Illinois Environmental

Protection Act.

The Restricted Status List will include all Public Water Supplies for which the Agency has information indicating a

violation of any of the following requirements: Finished water quality requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code, Part 604,

Subparts B and C; maintenance of adequate pressure on all parts of the distribution system under all conditions of

demand; meeting raw water quantity requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 604.502; or maintenance of treatment

facilities capable of providing water "assuredly adequate in quantity" as required by Section 18 of the Illinois

Environmental Protection Act.

A public water supply on the Restricted Status List will not be issued permits for water main extensions, except for

certain limited situations, or unless the supply has been granted a variance from the Illinois Pollution Control Board

for the violation, or from permit issuance requirements of Section 39 of the Act.

This list is continually being revised as new information becomes available, and therefore, specific inquiries as to

the status of any public water supply should be directed to the Division of Public Water Supplies for final

determination. This list reflects the status as of October, 2002.

Indicates public water supplies which have been added to the list since the previous publication.
