 HEARING OFFICER MURPHY:

 Good afternoon.

 My name

4

 is William Murphy, and I’m the hearing officer in this

5

 proceeding.

 I’d like to welcome you to this hearing

6

 being held by the Illinois Pollution Control Board in

7

 the matter of Proposed New and Updated.Rules for

8

 Measurement and Numerical Sound Emission Standards;

9

 Amendments to 35 Illinois Administrative Code 901 and

10

 910.

11

 Present today on behalf of the Illinois Pollution

12

 Control Board is Board Member Michael Tristano to my

13

 immediate left.

 He is the board member coordinating

14

 this rulemaking.

 Also present to Member Tristano’s left

15

 is Board Member Nicholas Melas.

 To my immediate right

16

 is Board Member

 G. Tanner Girard, and to his right,

17

 William Marovitz.

18

 Pursuant to Section 27 and 28 of the Illinois

19

 Environmental Protection Act,

 Illinois Pollution Control

20

 Board will open this rulemaking to amend and update the

21

 board’s noise rules.

 Many of the sound measurement

22

 definitions and techniques in the board’s current rules

23

 do not reflect present scientific standards.

 This

24

 proposal revises outdated numerical sound emission

Keefe Reporting Company

1

 standards for property line noise sources found at 35

2

 Illinois Administrative Code parts 901.

3

 In addition, the proposal adds parts 910 to the

4

 board’s rules that incorporates noise measurement

5

 techniques currently contained in the Illinois

6

 Environmental Protection Agency Rules,

 35 Illinois

7

 Administrative Code 951.

 The board intends to hold a

8

 second hearing in this matter on

May

 15 in Chicago at 1

9

 p.m.

10

 This hearing will be governed by the board’s

11

 procedural rules for regulatory proceedings.

All

12

 information which is relevant and not repetitious or

13

 privileged will be admitted.

14

 We do have some members of the board staff that I

15

 have not introduced:

 Anand Rao from the board’s

16

 technical unit; we also have Erin Conley, who is the

17

 rulemaking coordinator; Marie Tipsord, who is Board

18

 Member Girard’s attorney assistant.

19

Are

 there any questions regarding the procedure we

20

 will be following today?

 I see no questions.

Member

21

 Tristano, do you have any comments at this time?

22

BOARD
