ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):

 

Section 22.4(d) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.4(d) (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 22.4(d) relates to underground storage tank (UST) regulations promulgated

by the USEPA pursuant to Section 9003 of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

of 1976 (RCRA) (42 U.S.C. §§ 6993 (1998)) to implement Subtitle I of RCRA (42 U.S.C. §§

6991

et seq

. (1998)), with certain limitations. USEPA has codified its UST regulations at 40

C.F.R. 281 through 283.

 

The Board reserved this docket for any UST amendments adopted by USEPA between

January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2003. During that time period, USEPA did not amend the federal

UST 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.
