    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):
     
    Section 13(c) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/13(c) (2002))
    requires the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to regulations of the
    United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). 415 ILCS 5/7.2 (2002).
    Specifically, Section 13(c) relates to underground injection control (UIC) regulations that
    USEPA adopted to implement provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. § 300h
    et
    seq
    . (1998)). USEPA has codified its UIC regulations at 40 C.F.R. 144 through 148.
     
    The Board reserved this docket for any UIC amendments adopted by USEPA between
    January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2003. During that time period, USEPA did not amend the federal
    UIC regulations. Therefore, no action is necessary, and the Board dismisses this docket.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on August 7, 2003, by a vote of 7-0.
