Part (Heading and Code Citation):

 

DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS (35 Ill. Adm. Code 211)

 

1) Rulemaking: Docket number R04-2

 

A) Description:

 

Section 9.1(e) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/9.1(e)]

mandates that the Board update the Illinois definition of volatile organic

material (VOM) to reflect the additions made by the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to the list of compounds

exempt from regulation as ozone precursors. Those compounds are

determined by USEPA to be exempt from regulation under the state

implementation plan (SIP) for ozone in the federal “Recommended Policy

---

ILLINOIS REGISTER

 

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

 

JULY 2003 REGULATORY AGENDA

 

 

on the Control of Volatile Organic Compounds” (Recommended Policy)

due to their negligible photochemical reactivity. On February 3, 1992 (57

Fed. Reg. 3945), USEPA codified its definition of VOM at 40 CFR

51.100(s), which now embodies the former Recommended Policy. This

codified definition now includes all the compounds and classes of

compounds previously exempted in the former Recommended Policy.

The Illinois definition of VOM is presently codified at 35 Ill. Adm. Code

211.7150.

 

The Board has reserved docket number R04-2 to accommodate any

amendments to the 40 CFR 51.100(s) definition of VOM that USEPA may

make in the period January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003. At this time,

the Board is not aware of any federal amendments to the federal definition

of VOM. The Board will verify the existence of any federal actions and

the Board action required in response to each in coming weeks, by about

mid-August 2003. The Board will then propose corresponding

amendments to the Illinois definition of VOM using the identical-in-

substance procedure or dismiss docket R04-2, as necessary and

appropriate.

 

Section 9.1(e) mandates that the Board complete amendments within one

year of the date on which USEPA adopted its action upon which the

amendments are based. Assuming for the purposes of illustration that

USEPA adopted an amendment that will require Board action on the first

day of the update period, on January 1, 2003, the due date for Board

adoption would be January 1, 2004.

 

B) Statutory authority:

 

Implementing and authorized by Sections 7.2, 9.1(e), and 27 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/7.2, 9.1(e) & 27].

 

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

 

None scheduled at this time. The Board will vote to propose any

amendments at an open meeting in accordance with requirements

established by Sections 27 and 28 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/27 & 28]. The

Board will then schedule and conduct at least one public hearing, as

required by Section 118 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 USC § 7418) for

amendment of the Illinois ozone SIP.

D)

Date agency anticipates First Notice:

 

The Board cannot project an exact date for publication at this time. The

Board expects to verify any federal actions by mid-August 2003, after

which time the Board will propose any amendments to the Illinois

definition of VOM that are necessary in response to the federal

amendments that have occurred. If the due date for Board adoption of

amendments in this docket is assumed to be January 1, 2004, for the

purposes of illustration, the Board would vote to propose amendments and

cause a Notice of Proposed Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

 

by early October 2003. This would be sufficiently in advance of the due

date to allow the Board to accept public comments on the proposal for 45

days before acting to adopt any amendments. Alternatively, if no

amendment to the Illinois definition is needed, the Board would promptly

dismiss this reserved docket.

 

E)

Effect on small business, small municipalities, or not-for-profit

corporations:

 

This rulemaking may affect any small business, small municipality, or not-

rulemaking is not subject to Section 5 of the APA, it is not subject to First

Notice or to Second Notice review by the Joint Committee on

Administrative Rules. Rather, the Board will cause a Notice of Proposed

Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

, and it will accept public

comments on the proposal for 45 days after the date of publication.

NITROGEN OXIDES EMISSIONS (35 Ill. Adm. Code 217)

 

1) Rulemaking: No docket presently reserved.

 

A) Description:

 

On October 27, 1998, USEPA issued a NOx SIP Call requiring Illinois and

numerous other states to adopt certain regulations for the control of

nitrogen oxide (NOx ) emissions that contribute to non-attainment or

interfere with maintenance of the ozone air quality standard in other states

pursuant to Section 110(a)(2)(D) of the CAA. Illinois is required to adopt

NOx emission controls for four categories of industrial sources. The

Board has already adopted rules that control NOx emissions from boilers

and turbines serving electric generator units greater than 25 megawatts;

boilers and turbines with heat input greater than 250 mmBtu/hr; and large

cement kilns with ozone season emissions greater than one ton. The

fourth category, large internal combustion engines, is the subject of this

notice. The U.S. Court of Appeals remanded this category to USEPA for

further consideration. Once USEPA promulgates a final rule for large

internal combustion engines, the Agency will have to proceed promptly

with this rulemaking. The Agency may also revise Sections in 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 201 concerning continuous emissions monitoring.

 

B) Statutory Authority:

 

Implementing Section 10 and authorized by Sections 27 and 28.5 of the

Act [415 ILCS 5/10, 27 and 28.5].

 

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

1) Rulemaking: Docket number R04-1

 

A) Description:

 

Section 13.3 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/13.3]

mandates that the Board update the Illinois wastewater pretreatment

regulations to reflect revisions made to the federal wastewater

pretreatment rules made by the United States Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

 

The Board has reserved docket number R04-1 to accommodate any

amendments to the federal wastewater pretreatment rules, 40 CFR 400

through 499, that the USEPA may have made in the period January 1,

2003 through June 30, 2003. At this time, the Board is aware that USEPA

undertook two actions that affected the text of 40 CFR 400 through 499

and its implementation. These actions are described below:

 

February 12, 2003

(68 Fed. Reg. 7176)

USEPA amended the effluent standards for

concentrated animal feedlot operations (CAFOs).

Included were wastewater pretreatment standards

applicable to indirect dischargers.

May 13, 2003

(68 Fed. Reg. 25686)

USEPA established new effluent and

pretreatment standards for the metal products and

machinery point source category.

 

The Board will verify the existence of any additional federal actions that

may affect the text of 40 CFR 400 through 499 and the Board action

required in response to each set of federal amendments in coming weeks,

by about mid-August 2003. The Board will then propose corresponding

amendments to the Illinois SDWA regulations using the identical-in-

substance procedure under docket R04-1, as necessary and appropriate.

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

 

JULY 2003 REGULATORY AGENDA

 

 

Section 13.3 of the Act mandates that the Board complete amendments

within one year of the date on which USEPA adopted its action upon

which the amendments are based. Assuming for the purposes of

illustration that USEPA adopted an amendment that will require Board

action on the first action in the update period, that of February 12, 2003,

the due date for Board adoption would be February 12, 2004.

 

B) Statutory authority:

 

Implementing and authorized by Sections 7.2, 13, 13.3 and 27 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/7.2, 13, 13.3 & 27].

 

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

 

None scheduled at this time. The Board will vote to propose any

amendments at an open meeting in accordance with requirements

established by Sections 27 and 28 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/27 & 28]. No

hearing is required in identical-in-substance proceedings.

 

D)

Date agency anticipates First Notice:

 

The Board cannot project an exact date for publication at this time. The

Board expects to verify any federal actions by mid-August 2003, after

which time the Board will propose any amendments to the Illinois

wastewater treatment rules that are necessary in response to the federal

amendments that have occurred. If the due date for Board adoption of

amendments in this docket is assumed to be February 12, 2004, the Board

will vote to propose amendments and cause a Notice of Proposed

Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

by early December 2003.

This would be sufficiently in advance of the due date to allow the Board to

accept public comments on the proposal for 45 days before acting to adopt

any amendments.

 

E)

Effect on small business, small municipalities, or not-for-profit

corporations:

 

This rulemaking may affect any small business, small municipality, or not-

for-profit corporation that pretreatment engages in the discharge of

pollutants into the collection system of a publicly-owned treatment works

that is the subject of any federal amendments.

JULY 2003 REGULATORY AGENDA

 

 

A) Description:

 

Section 17.5 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/17.5]

mandates that the Board update the Illinois SDWA regulations to reflect

the USEPA amendments to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)

primary drinking water regulations.

 

The Board has reserved docket number R03-15 to accommodate any

amendments to the SDWA primary drinking water regulations, 40 CFR

141 through 143, that the United States Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) may make in the period July 1, 2002 through December 31,

2002. At this time, the Board is aware that USEPA undertook four actions

that affected the text of 40 CFR 141 through 143 in a way that will likely

require amendment of the Illinois drinking water regulations. These

actions are described below:

 

October 23, 2002

(67 Fed. Reg. 30811)

USEPA updated the various methods used for

analysis of contaminants in wastewater and

drinking water. This included amendments to

both the methods of 40 C.F.R. 136 and those

referenced in 40 C.F.R. 141.

October 29, 2002

(67 Fed. Reg. 65888)

USEPA approved the analytical method and

minimum reporting level for unregulated

contaminant monitoring for

Aeromonas

bacteria.

November 27, 2002

(67 Fed. Reg. 70850)

USEPA amended the public notice segments of

the consumer confidence report rule (CCR). It

revised the mandatory health effects language for

di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate and di(2-ethylhexyl)-

phthalate. USEPA made a small number of

minor amendments to the appendix to the CCR.

December 9, 2002

(67 Fed. Reg. 73011)

USEPA corrected a single misspelling in the

November 27, 2002 (67 Fed. Reg. 70850)

amendments to the public notice segments of the

consumer confidence report rule (CCR).

 

The Board will verify the existence of any additional federal actions and

the Board action required in response to each set of federal amendments in

coming weeks, by about mid-February 2003. The Board will then propose

corresponding amendments to the Illinois SDWA regulations using the

identical-in-substance procedure under docket R03-15, as necessary and

appropriate.

found in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611 to cross reference the IEPA’s own

laboratory accreditation rules found at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 186. These

prospective amendments to Sections 611.359, 611.611, 611.646, and

611.648 would cross-reference the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency's (IEPA’s) laboratory accreditation rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 186.

Currently, the existing text of Part 611 references 35 Ill. Adm. Code 183,

which are joint rules of the IEPA, the Illinois Department of Public

Health, and the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety. A repeal of Part

183 has been completed.

 

B) Statutory Authority:

 

Sections 27 and 28 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS

5/27 & 28].

 

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

 

When the proposal is submitted before the Board, the Board will conduct

public hearings on the proposal pursuant to Sections 27 and 28 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/27 & 28].

 

D)

Date Agency Anticipates First Notice:

 

  

An IEPA submittal of the rulemaking proposal is anticipated by Fall or

Winter of 2003. The Board will conduct proceedings pursuant to Sections

27 and 28 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/27 & 28]

upon receipt of the proposal and would cause a Notice of Proposed

Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

when it decides to propose

amendments for First Notice.

 

E)

Affect on small business, small municipalities or not-for-profit

corporations:

 

These amendments may affect small business, small municipalities, and

not-for-profit corporations that own or operate a "public water supply", as

defined by Section 3.28 of the Act, i.e., it has at least fifteen service

connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily

at least 60 days out of the year, or it is assisting a public water supply to

demonstrate compliance with the federally-derived National Primary

Drinking Water Standards of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611. However, it is

anticipated that the proceeding will not likely have a quantifiable affect on

these entities because the program for national laboratory certification is

voluntary. The burden of compliance with the requirements, such as filing

documentation, reporting or completion of the necessary forms, likely will

not increase.

HAZARDOUS WASTE INJECTION RESTRICTIONS (35 Ill. Adm. Code 738)

 

1) Rulemaking: Presently reserved docket number R04-4

 

A) Description:

 

Section 13(c) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/13(c)]

mandates that the Board update the Illinois underground injection control

(UIC) regulations to reflect amendments to the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) UIC regulations.

 

The Board has reserved docket number R04-4 to accommodate any

amendments to the federal UIC regulations, 40 CFR 144 through 148,

during the period January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003. At this time, the

Board is not aware of any federal amendments to the federal UIC

regulations. The Board will verify the existence of any federal actions and

the Board action required in response to each in coming weeks, by about

mid-August 2003. The Board will then propose corresponding

amendments to the Illinois UIC regulations using the identical-in-

substance procedure or dismiss docket R03-3, as necessary and

appropriate.

 

Section 13(c) mandates that the Board complete amendments within one

year of the date on which USEPA adopted its action upon which the

amendments are based. Assuming for the purposes of illustration that the

earliest USEPA action during the update period that will require Board

action is the first day of the update period, on January 1, 2003, the due

date for Board adoption of all amendments in the period would be January

1, 2004.

 

B) Statutory authority:

 

Implementing and authorized by Sections 7.2, 13(c) and 27 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/7.2, 13(c) & 27].

 

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

 

None scheduled at this time. The Board will vote to propose any

amendments at an open meeting in accordance with requirements

established by Sections 27 and 28 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/27 & 28]. No

hearing is required in identical-in-substance proceedings.

is assumed to be January 1, 2004, the Board will vote to propose

amendments and cause a Notice of Proposed Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

by early October 2003. This would be sufficiently in

advance of the due date to allow the Board to accept public comments on

the proposal for 45 days before acting to adopt any amendments.

 

E)

Implementing and authorized by Sections 7.2, 22.4(d), and 27 of the

Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/7.2, 22.4(d) & 27].

 

C) Scheduled meeting/hearing dates:

 

None scheduled at this time. The Board will vote to propose any

amendments at an open meeting in accordance with requirements

established by Sections 27 and 28 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/27 & 28]. No

hearing is required in identical-in-substance proceedings.

 

D)

Date agency anticipates First Notice:

 

The Board cannot project an exact date for publication at this time. The

Board expects to verify any federal actions by mid-August 2003, after

which time the Board will propose any amendments to the Illinois UST

regulations that are necessary in response to the federal amendments that

have occurred. If the due date for Board adoption of amendments in this

docket is assumed to be January 1, 2004, for the purposes of illustration,

the Board would vote to propose amendments and cause a Notice of

Proposed Amendments to appear in the

Illinois Register

by early October

2003. This would be sufficiently in advance of the due date to allow the

Board to accept public comments on the proposal for 45 days before

acting to adopt any amendments. Alternatively, if no amendment to the

Illinois regulations is needed, the Board would promptly dismiss this

reserved docket.
