Letter from the Chairman

I was recently privileged to be appointed Chairman of the Pollution Control Board. I

am well aware of the importance of this position, and will endeavor to lead the Board

to the best of my ability. Regretfully, this appointment was made necessary by the

retirement of former Chairman Claire Manning.

Ms. Manning served as the Chairman of the Illinois Pollution Control Board for

approximately ten years. Her last day as Chairman was December 31, 2002. I served

with Ms. Manning for a year and a half. During that time, I was always impressed

with the enthusiasm and dedication she brought to the job. That the Board has

prospered during her tenure is in no small part due to Ms. Manning’s leadership

Ms. Manning has had a long and distinguished career with the State of Illinois. She earned her bachelor’s degree

from Bradley University in Peoria. She received her law degree from Loyola University’s Chicago School of Law.

In 1980, she worked as labor relations counsel for the Illinois Department of Central Management Services. In

1984, Ms. Manning joined the Illinois Labor Relations Board as an original member. She left the Labor Relations

Board for the Illinois Pollution Control Board in 1993.

Ms. Manning will be missed. She has been a constant and valuable member of the Board for a decade. The Board

recognizes her contributions both as Chairman and Board Member during this time. We wish Ms. Manning well in

all her future efforts.

Although I am sorry to see her leave, I am confident that the Board will continue to serve the public with

professionalism and efficiency. I want to assure the public, my fellow Board Members and Board staff that the

Board will continue to timely and faithfully fulfill its statutory mission during this transition period. I want to thank

all those involved with the Board for their valuable contributions, and I look forward to working with you in the

future. Working together, I am sure we will continue to improve the Board’s high level of professionalism and

public service.

Federal Update

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

Pollutants for the Paper and Other Web Coating

Categories Under the Clean Air Act

On December 4, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 72329), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted

national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for facilities that coat paper and other web

substrates and are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. The standards implement section

112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) to protect public health and the environment by reducing HAP emissions from

new and existing facilities. The CAA requires these sources to achieve the maximum degree of reduction in HAP

emissions that is achievable. The final standards will eliminate approximately 80 percent of nationwide HAP

emissions from facilities that coat paper and other web substrates.

These amendments are effective on December 4, 2002.

For further information contact Mr. Paul Almodovar, Coating and Consumer Products Group (C539-03), Emission

Standards Division, U.S. EPA, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, telephone number (919) 541-0283, e-mail

address: almodovar.paul@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, NESHAP rules are applicable and enforceable under the Act without further action by the Board.

United States Environmental Protection Agency Withdraws Revisions to the Water Quality Planning and

Management Regulation and Revisions to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program

On December 27, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 79020), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

published a proposal to withdraw the final rule entitled “Revisions to the Water Quality Planning and Management

Regulation and Revisions to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program in Support of

Revisions to the Water Quality Planning and Management Regulation” (the July 2000 rule) published in the Federal

Register on July 13, 2000. The July 2000 rule has never become effective; it is currently scheduled to take effect on

April 30, 2003.

The July 2000 rule amended and clarified existing regulations implementing a section of the Clean Water Act

(CWA) which requires States to identify waters that are not meeting applicable water quality standards and to

establish pollutant budgets, called Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), to restore the quality of those waters.

The July 2000 rule also amended USEPA's NPDES regulations to include provisions addressing implementation of

TMDLs through NPDES permits. Regulations t

hat USEPA promulgated in 1985 and amended in 1992 remain the

regulations in effect for implementing the TMDL Program. Therefore, in this action, USEPA is proposing to

withdraw the July 2000 rule, rather than allow it to go into effect April 30, 2003 as scheduled. In its notice, USEPA

Environmental Register – December 2002

stated that significant changes would need to be made to the July 2000 rule before it could serve as the blueprint for

an efficient and effective TMDL Program. Furthermore, USEPA stated that it needed additional time beyond April

2003 to decide whether and how to revise the currently effective regulations implementing the TMDL Program in a

way that will best achieve the goals of the CWA.

Written comments on this proposed rule should be submitted by January 27, 2003.

(4503T), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460, phone

(202) 566-2385.

If USEPA adopts these rules, the Board would anticipate that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA)

would 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. If so, the Board would expect to receive a regulatory

proposal from IEPA under Section 27 or 28.2 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/27, 28.2 (2000)).

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

Pollutants for Secondary Aluminum Production Under the Clean Air Act

On December 30, 2002 (67 79807), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted national

emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for secondary aluminum production facilities under

section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

The adopted rules amended the applicability provisions for aluminum die casters, foundries, and extruders that were

adopted on March 23, 2000. The amendments also add new provisions governing control of commonly-ducted

units; revise the procedures for adoption of operation, maintenance, and monitoring plans; revise the criteria

concerning testing of representative emission units; revise the standard for unvented in-line flux boxes; and clarify

the control requirements for sidewell furnaces.

These changes are being made pursuant to settlement agreements in two cases seeking judicial review of the

NESHAP for secondary aluminum production. A separate rule to clarify compliance dates and defer certain early

compliance obligations, which might have otherwise come due before completion of this rulemaking, was published

on September 24, 2002.

The adopted amendments are effective December 30, 2002.

For further information contact Mr. John Schaefer, U.S. EPA, Minerals and Inorganic Chemicals Group, Emission

Standards Division (C504-05), Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711,

telephone number (919) 541-0296, email address, schaefer.john@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, NESHAP rules are applicable and enforceable under the Act without further action by the Board.

United States Environmental Protection Agency Proposes Amendments to the National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System Permit Regulations for Stormwater Discharges Under the Clean Water Act

On December 30, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 79827), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

proposed modifications to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit deadline for storm

water discharges for oil and gas construction activity.

The amendments propose a two-year postponement, until March 10, 2005, of the permit authorization deadline for

NPDES storm water permits for oil and gas construction activity that disturbs one to five acres of land.

Environmental Register – December 2002

On December 8, 1999 (64 FR 68722), USEPA published a final rule expanding the then-existing NPDES permitting

program to require permit coverage by March 10, 2003 for, among other things, construction sites that disturb one

to five acres. USEPA assumed that few, if any, oil and gas exploration, production, processing, or treatment

operations or transmission facilities would be affected by the rule. However, USEPA stated that information has

become available indicating that close to 30,000 oil and gas sites per year may be affected by the December 8, 1999,

storm water regulations. The proposed two-year postponement of the deadline from March 10, 2003, to March 10,

2005, will allow time for USEPA to analyze and evaluate 1) the impact of the permit requirements on the oil and

gas industry, 2) the appropriate best management practices for preventing contamination of storm water runoff

resulting from construction associated with oil and gas exploration, production, processing, or treatment operations

or transmission facilities, and 3) the scope and effect of 33 U.S.C. 1342 (l)(2) and other storm water provisions of

the Clean Water Act.

Comments on the proposed rule must be received on or before January 29, 2003. Comments may be submitted

electronically, by mail, or through hand delivery/courier. Send written comments to: Water Docket, Environmental

Protection Agency, Mail Code 4101T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460, Attention Docket ID

Protection Agency, at 202-564-0746 or e-mail: bell.wendy@epa.gov.

If USEPA adopts these rules, the Board would anticipate that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA)

would 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. If so, the Board would expect to receive a regulatory

proposal from IEPA under Section 27 or 28.2 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/27, 28.2 (2000)).

United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts Amendments to the Prevention of Significant

Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR)

Regulations Under the Clean Air Act

On December 31, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 80185), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

adopted amendments to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review

(NSR) regulations under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The rules amend the baseline emissions determination, actual-

to-future-actual methodology, plantwide applicability limitations (PAL), “clean units”, and pollution control project

USEPA stated that the revisions to the NSR regulations mandated by parts C and D of title I of the CAA include

changes in NSR applicability requirements for modifications. These are intended to allow sources more flexibility

to respond to rapidly changing markets and to plan for future investments in pollution control and prevention

The new rules reflect USEPA's consideration of discussions and recommendations of the Clean Air Act Advisory

Committee's (CAAAC) Subcommittee on NSR, Permits and Toxics, comments filed by the public, and meetings

and discussions with interested stakeholders.

The changes that were adopted include a new procedure for determining “baseline actual emissions” which replace

the pre-change “actual emissions” for most applications. The amendments allow for the use of any consecutive 24-

month period in the past 10 years to determine baseline actual emissions. Additionally, USEPA supplemented the

existing actual-to-potential applicability test with an actual-to-projected-actual applicability test for determining if a

physical or operational change at an existing emissions unit will result in an emissions increase.

Changes to the PAL regulations implement a program based on plantwide actual emissions. If emissions from a

facility are kept below a plantwide actual emissions cap (that is, an actual PAL), then these regulations will allow

permittees to avoid the major NSR permitting process when making alterations to the facility or individual

emissions units. In return for this flexibility, the rules require monitoring of emissions from all of the emissions

units under the PAL. However, participating in the PAL program allows for modifications to a plant without NSR.

Environmental Register – December 2002

USEPA also promulgated a new type of applicability test for emissions units that are designated as Clean Units.

This new applicability test will measure whether an emissions increase occurs based on whether the physical change

or change in the method of operation affects the Clean Unit status of the unit. This new applicability test provides

that when emission limitations are met based on installing state-of-the-art emissions control technologies (add-on

control technology, pollution prevention techniques, or work practices) that are determined to be BACT or LAER,

physical or operational changes may usually be made to the Clean Unit without triggering major NSR. However,

major NSR is still triggered if the change causes 1) the need for a revision in the emission limitations or work

practice requirements in the permit for the unit adopted in conjunction with BACT, LAER, or Clean Unit

determinations, or 2) would alter any physical or operational characteristics that formed the basis for the BACT,

LAER, or Clean Unit determination for a particular unit. Clean Unit status will be valid for up to a 10-year period.

Finally, this rule contains a new list of environmentally beneficial technologies that qualify as Pollution Control

Projects (PCP) for all types of sources. Installation of a PCP is not subject to the major modification provisions.

An owner or operator installing a listed PCP automatically qualifies for the exclusion if there is no adverse air

quality impact. PCPs that are not listed in these rules may also qualify for the PCP exclusion if the reviewing

authority determines on a case-specific basis that a non-listed PCP is environmentally beneficial when used for a

particular application. Also, in the future, USEPA stated that it may add to the listed PCPs through a rulemaking

that provides for public notice and opportunity for comment

This final rule is effective on March 3, 2003.

For further information contact Ms. Lynn Hutchinson, Information Transfer and Program Integration Division

(C339-03), U.S. EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711,

telephone 919-541-5795, or email at hutchinson.lynn@epa.gov, for general questions on this rule.

If any amendments to the Illinois air rules become necessary, the Board would expect the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency to propose amendments using the Clean Air Act “fast-track” procedures at Section 28.5 of the

Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/28.5 (2000), as amended by P.A. 92-0574, eff. June 26, 2002).

United States Environmental Protection Agency Proposes Amendments to the

Prevention of Significant

Deterioration (PSD) and Non-attainment New Source Review (NSR) Regulations Under the Clean Air Act

On December 31, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 80290), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

proposed amendments to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Non-attainment New Source

Review (NSR) regulations governing routine maintenance, repair and replacement (RMRR) under the NSR

These proposed changes reflect the USEPA's consideration of the President's National Energy Policy (NEP),

USEPA's Report to the President on the impact of NSR pursuant to the NEP, and USEPA's recommended changes

to NSR based on the report findings and discussions with various stakeholders including representatives from

industry, State and local governments, and environmental groups. USEPA has stated that the proposed RMRR

provisions are intended to provide greater regulatory certainty without sacrificing the current level of environmental

protection and benefit derived from the program.

The proposed amendments are based on provisions in amendments that were adopted by USEPA on December 31,

2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 80185) (see above for description). The final amendments adopted in that action address the

issue of “major modifications” made at a source, and how those modifications trigger NSR. These proposed

amendments include RMRR as activities that are excluded from the category of “major modification.” The

regulations do not define this term. (See 40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(C)(1), 51.166(b)(2)(iii)(a), 52.21(b)(2)(iii)(a) and

52.24(f)(5)(iii)(a)). Under USEPA’s proposed approach, the RMRR exclusion is applied on a case-by-case basis by

weighing the nature, extent, purpose, frequency, and the cost of the work as well as other relevant factors to arrive

at a common sense finding.

USEPA is proposing two categories of activities that will in the future be considered RMRR activities: 1) activities

within an annual maintenance, repair and replacement allowance and 2) replacements that meet USEPA equipment

Environmental Register – December 2002

replacement provision criteria. Under the proposal, when an activity falls within either of these categories, it would

be considered RMRR and a source's owners or operators would know that the activity was excluded from NSR

without regard to other considerations. When an activity did not fall within one of these categories, then it still

could qualify as routine maintenance, repair, and replacement under the case-by-case test.

Comments must be received on or before March 3, 2003.

If any amendments to the Illinois air rules become necessary, the Board would expect the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency to propose amendments using the Clean Air Act “fast-track” procedures at Section 28.5 of the

Appellate Update

Fourth District Affirms The Board In Illinois Environmental Protection Agency v. The Illinois Pollution

Control Board, No. 4-02-0560 (Dec. 11, 2002) (PCB 01-139)

In its December 11, 2002 decision in Illinois Environmental Protection Agency v. The Illinois Pollution Control

Board, No. 4-02-0560 (Dec. 11, 2002),

the Fourth District Appellate Court affirmed the Board’s decision on an

important procedural point: whether the Board must hear a motion to reconsider an order after the order had been

appealed to the appellate court.

In an unpublished order under Supreme Court Rule 23 (155 Ill.2d R. 23), the court determined that the filing of the

appeal deprived the Board of jurisdiction to reconsider the appealed order.

The underlying Board case is ESG Watts, Inc. v. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, PCB 01-139 (Apr. 4,

2002). ESG Watts, a landfill operator, had requested the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to

accept substitute financial assurances for three landfills and to release funds that ESG Watts believed were excess

financial assurance. The IEPA denied the request and the Board affirmed the IEPA’s determination.

The Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/41(a) (West 2000) states that a petition for judicial review must be

filed within 35 days of receipt of the Board’s final ruling. Also, a party seeking reconsideration must file a motion

within 35 days of receipt of the Board’s final ruling. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.520(a).

On May 8, 2002, ESG Watts appealed the Board’s decision to the appellate court. ESG Watts, Inc. v. Illinois

Pollution Control Board and Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, No. 4-02-0387 (4th Dist.). On May 15,

2002, IEPA filed a motion asking the Board to reconsider its April 4, 2002 order. On June 6, 2002, the Board

denied IEPA’s motion for reconsideration because ESG Watts had already appealed the matter. The IEPA appealed

the Board’s June 6, 2002 denial of its motion for reconsideration. The court’s affirmance of the Board’s June 6,

2002 order does not resolve ESG Watts’ appeal in No.4-02-0560, which is still pending.

On appeal, the parties did not dispute that the Board’s April 4, 2002 order was a final order for purposes of appeal.

Likewise, the parties conceded that the Board and the appellate court could not exercise simultaneous jurisdiction.

However, IEPA argued that the Board incorrectly determined that it lacked jurisdiction to reconsider its April 4

order. The IEPA contended that ESG Watt’s appeal was premature and that the appellate court lacked jurisdiction

rather than the Board, as a result of its filing of the motion to reconsider with the Board after Watts had filed its

The Fourth District Appellate Court affirmed the Board. The Court found that:

Once a party files a proper notice of appeal of a trial court’s ruling, our jurisdiction

Environmental Register – December 2002

deprives the trial court of jurisdiction to modify its judgment. [citing Cain v. Sukar,

167 Ill. App. 3d 941, 945, 521 N. E. 3d 1292, 1292 (4th Dist.1988] Likewise, if our jurisdiction to hear

Watts’ appeal is proper, the [Board] no longer has jurisdiction to

consider motions to reconsider the matter. (slip op. at 6-7).

In so holding, the court distinguished a case relied on by the IEPA: Clean Air Coordinating Committee v.

Environmental Protection Agency, 42 Ill. App. 3d 124, 355 N.E. 2d 573 (1st Dist. 1976). In that case, the appeal

was filed while both parties’ motions for reconsideration were pending before the Board, one day before the Board

issued a final modified order in response to both motions. The Clean Air court determined that the modified order

was the only final and appealable order. The Fourth District concluded that this holding did not contradict its

conclusion that its jurisdiction attached when Watts filed its petition May 8, removing the Board’s jurisdiction to

hear the IEPA’s later-filed motion.

Rule Update

Board Adopts Second Notice Opinion and Order in Proposed Horween Leather Company Site-Specific Air

Rule, 35 Ill. Adm.Code 218.112 and 218.929 R02-20

On December 5, 2002, the Board adopted a second notice opinion and order in Proposed Horween Leather

Company Site-Specific Air Rule, 35 Ill. Adm.Code 218.112 and 218.929, R02-20. The Board did not make any

changes to the rules it proposed at first notice, and which were published at 38

Illinois Register

13772 (September

20, 2002). Pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (5 ILCS 100/1-1

(2000)), the Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) will review and consider the rules at its February 4, 2003 meeting.

The Board’s second notice order proposes to amend 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218, “Organic Material Emission Standards

and Limitations for the Chicago Area” by adding a new Section 218. 929 and amending Section 218.112. The

proposal would change the volatile organic material (VOM) control requirements as applied to a small amount of

new specialty leathers that the Horween Leather Company (Horween) of Chicago, Illinois plans to produce at its

facility at 2015 North Elston Avenue in Chicago.

The new Section 218.929 proposes to limit Horween’s VOM emissions to 24 lbs. VOM per 1000 square feet for

waterproof leather (12 month rolling average) and 14 lbs. for non-waterproof leather with an annual cap of the total

emissions at 20 tons. The proposal also includes definitions of the specialty leathers covered by this rulemaking,

standard operating and maintenance procedures, and reporting and record keeping requirements. The amendment to

Section 218.112 incorporates by reference an ASTM test method, “Standard Test Method for Dynamic Water

Resistance of Shoe Upper Leather by the Maeser Water Penetration Tester.”

The Board held a hearing concerning the proposal June 26, 2002 in Chicago. No public comments were filed

during the first notice comment period.

Board Adopts First Notice Opinion and Order in Noise Rule Update: Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900-

903 (R03-08)

On December 19, 2002, the Board adopted a first notice opinion and order in Noise Rule Update: Amendments to

35 Ill. Adm. Code 900-903 (R03-08) to amend the Board’s noise regulations. The Board will accept public

comments on the amendments for 45 days following the Secretary of State’s publication of the proposal in the

Illinois Register

The noise rules being amended are 35 Ill. Adm. Code Parts 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

Environmental Register – December 2002

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 is also proposing to repeal Part 903, which specifies rules and regulations for the control of noise from

motor racing facilities, in response to legislative changes since the Part was adopted.

The Board has held two hearings in this rulemaking in Chicago on November 7, 2002 and in Springfield on

November 21, 2002. 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 Final 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 December 19, 2002, the Board adopted a final 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 only minor nonsubstantive

changes to its second notice proposal issued on November 17, 2002. The adopted amendments were filed with the

Secretary of State’s Index department and have a December 20, 2002 effective date. The final rules were published

Illinois Register

158 (January 3, 2003).

This rulemaking began with 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.”

The adopted amendments include: 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: Conforming Amendments for the Great Lakes Initiative, 35 Ill.

Adm. Code Part 302.101; 302.105; 302.Subpart E; 303.443, and 304.222, R97-25 (December 18, 1997) ; and 4) the

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

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

Illinois Register

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.

Board Adopts Final Opinion and Order in SDWA Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2002 through

June 30, 2002; LTIESWTR) (R03-4)

On December 12, 2002, the Board adopted a final opinion and order in SDWA Update, USEPA Amendments

(January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2002; LTIESWTR) (R03-4). This rulemaking amends the Board’s public water

supply regulations that are “identical in substance” to drinking water regulations adopted by the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The USEPA rules implement Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and

1445(a) of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (42 U.S.C. §§ 300g-1(a), 300g-3(c), 300g-6(a), and 300j-

4(a) (1994)). This docket includes federal SDWA amendments that USEPA adopted in the period January 1, 2002

through June 30, 2002. The final amendments have a January 10, 2003 effective date and will be published in the

Illinois Register

on January 24, 2003.

Environmental Register – December 2002

The Board’s rulemaking is based on a January 14, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 1812), federal action where the USEPA

adopted the Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT1ESWTR). The goals of the LT1ESWTR

are to improve control of risks to human health posed by microbial pathogens and to balance the risks posed by

disinfection byproducts.

The recent LT1SWTR is a companion to the December 16, 1998 (63 Fed. Reg. 69478) interim enhanced surface

water rule (IESWTR). The 1998 IESWTR imposed requirements on larger water systems (those providing water to

10,000 persons or more) that use surface water or groundwater under the direct influence of surface water. USEPA

established the filtration and disinfection requirements of the 1998 IESWTR in a new subpart P to 40 C.F.R. 141

(40 C.F.R. 141.170 through 141.75, corresponding with Subpart R to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611; Sections 611.740

through 611.745). The 2002 LT1ESWTR that was the basis of the Board’s rulemaking extends enhanced filtration

and disinfection requirements to smaller public water supplies (those serving fewer than 10,000 persons). USEPA

adopted the 2002 LT1ESWTR as a new subpart T to 40 C.F.R. 141 (40 C.F.R. 141.500 through 141.571,

corresponding with new Subpart X to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611; Sections 611.950 through 611.957). The Board

incorporated the January 14, 2002 federal amendments into the Illinois drinking water regulations with only

minimal structural changes to the text.

Sections 7.2 and 17.5 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 17.5 (2000)) provide for

quick adoption by the Board of regulations that are identical in substance to federal regulations that USEPA adopts

to implement Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and 1445(a) of the federal SDWA. Section 17.5 also provides

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 SDWA regulations

are found at 40 C.F.R. 141 through 143. The Board’s proposal for public comment was published at 27 Illinois

Register 158 (January 3, 2003).
