This line-numbered copy of the agency’s rulemaking is for use in
creating the 1st Notice Changes documeht.
This version should be identical to the submission made by the agency,
with the exceptions that errors in Source or Authority Notes may have

Administrative Code database, so formatting discrepancies will be
corrected; incorrect depictions of existing language may have been
corrected to conform with the IAPA; statutory citations will be
handled correctly; any obvious misspellings revealed by an electronic
spell check may have been corrected; and simple technical corrections
may have been made. If any such changes have been made, they will
be highlighted on the attached copy. If there is any problem, contact
JCAR.
On this mark-up, any word or punctuation that has been altered will be
highlighted. You will need to compare this to your hard copy or your
database to determine how the original text read. If a white space is
highlighted, you will know that text has been omitted at that location.

5)
A complete description of the subjects and issues involved: The Board started this
rulemaking in response to a proposal filed by the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency. The Board has already held two public hearings prior to its adoption ofits July
8, 2004 first notice order in this docket, R04-2 1.
The proposed changes to Sections 302.207 and 302.525 would eliminate the existing
general use and Lake Michigan (respectively) water quality standards for radium 226, yet
retain the existing radioactivity standards for gross beta particle activity ‘and strontium 90.
The proposed new Section 302.307 establishes a public and food processing water supply
standard forradium 226 and 228 combined of5 pCi/L. These proposed amendments
correspond to the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) Maximum
Contaminant Level for finished drinking water. The USEPA final drinking water
standard became effective December 8, 2003 (National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations; Radionuclide; Final Rule.
65
Fed. Reg. 76707 (Dec. 7, 2000)). The Board
adopted these federal amendments in its identical in substance rulemaking SDWA
Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000) (R01-20) at 25
Ill. Reg. 13611, effective October 9,2001.
6)
Will these proposed amendments replace any emergency amendments--currently-in effect?~
No
7)
Does this rulemaking contain an automatic repeal date?::, No
8)
Do these proposed amendments contain incorporations by reference?’No
