ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

August 19, 2004

Adopted Rule. Final Order.

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

The Board today updates the Illinois regulations that are “identical in substance” to drinking water regulations adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The USEPA rules implement Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and 1445(a) of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (42 U.S.C. §§ 300g-1(a), 300g-3(c), 300g-6(a), and 300j-4(a) (1994)). This docket includes federal SDWA amendments that USEPA adopted in the period July 1, 2003 though December 31, 2003. The substantive amendments involved in this proceeding relate to a notice of change in a key USEPA policy that determines the applicability of the SDWA regulations under certain circumstances. Another amendment in this proceeding updates the name of the entity from which material incorporated by reference is available. In this order, the Board adopts amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611 with no substantive change from those proposed on May 20, 2004.

Sections 7.2 and 17.5 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 17.5 (2002)) provide for quick adoption by the Board of regulations that are identical in substance to federal regulations that USEPA adopts to implement Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and 1445(a) of the federal SDWA. Section 17.5 also provides that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 and 5-40 (2002)) do not apply to the Board’s adoption of identical-in-substance regulations. The federal SDWA regulations are found at 40 C.F.R. 141 through 143.

FEDERAL ACTIONS CONSIDERED IN THIS RULEMAKING

The following briefly summarizes the federal actions considered in this rulemaking.

Docket R03-13: July 1, 2003 though December 31, 2003 SDWA Amendments

USEPA did not amend the federal SDWA regulations during the period July 1, 2003 though December 31, 2003. Rather, USEPA published a notice of its policy interpreting a key provision of the SDWA itself that determines the applicability of the SDWA regulations. This policy revision is summarized below:

68 Fed. Reg. 74233 (December 23, 2003)

No Other Federal Actions Having a Direct Impact on the

Illinois SDWA (Drinking Water) Regulations

In addition to the amendments to the federal SDWA regulations, amendments to certain other federal regulations occasionally have an effect on the Illinois drinking water rules. Most notably, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611.102 includes the incorporation of Appendices B and C of 40 C.F.R. 136 by reference. These are federal Clean Water Act methods for analysis of contaminants in water.

As of the date of this proposal for public comment, the Board has found one set of amendments to the analytical methods for analysis of contaminants in water in 40 C.F.R. 136 and a set of corrections to those amendments.

68 Fed. Reg. 43272 (July 21, 2003)

USEPA approved new methods for microbiological analysis of water and wastewater.

68 Fed. Reg. 54934 (September 19, 2003)

USEPA corrected its July 21, 2003 approval of new methods for microbiological analysis of water and wastewater

Examination of the July 21, 2003 amendments and September 19, 2003 corrections reveals that none of the amendments require Board action. The segments of 40 CFR 136 amended by USEPA are different from those incorporated by reference in Section 611.102. No Board action will be required at this time to update the version of 40 C.F.R. 136 incorporated by reference in to include the amendments.

Summary Tabulation of the Federal Actions Included in This Docket

PUBLIC COMMENTS

The Board adopted a proposal for public comment in this matter on May 20, 2004. A Notice of Proposed Amendments appeared in the June 18, 2004 issue of the Illinois Register at 28 Ill. Reg. 8403. The Board received public comments on the proposal for a period of 45 days following its publication in the Illinois Register, until August 2, 2004. The Board now adopts the amendments, making any necessary changes made evident through the public comments.

At the time of adoption of the May 20, 2004 proposal for public comment, the Board had already received two public comments relating to this proceeding.

In PC 1, EMD Chemicals Inc. requests that the Board update their company name in the incorporations by reference section of the regulations. Discussion of this comment and the amendments that the Board has undertaken in response to it appears in the segment of the discussion that begins on page 6 of this opinion.

In PC 2, the Agency suggested language for a Board note to append to the regulations. The Agency suggested language to describe how it intends to implement the USEPA policy revision of December 23, 2004. This comment and the Board’s response are considered in the segment of the discussion relating to the federal action of December 23, 2003.

After adoption of the May 20, 2004 proposal, during the public comment period, the Board received the following documents:

JCAR suggested two corrections to the text of the amendments in its Line Numbered Version. This opinion does not include discussion of any of the JCAR suggestions, but the table that begins on page 8 itemizes the change made in the text and indicates the source of each change.

In PC 3, Ms. Byus indicated that the Agency reviewed the text of the proposed amendments, and found them satisfactory. Ms. Byus expressed doubt that the Agency would comment further on the proposed amendments.

DISCUSSION

The following discussion begins with a description of the types of deviations the Board makes from the literal text of federal regulations in adopting identical-in-substance rules. It is followed by a discussion of the amendments and actions undertaken in direct response to the federal actions involved in this proceeding. This first series of discussions is organized by federal subject matter, generally appearing in chronological order of the relevant Federal Register notices involved. Finally, this discussion closes with a description of the amendments and actions that are not directly derived from the federal actions.

Discussion of the Federal Action

Applicability of the SDWA Requirements to Submetered Properties—Section 611.100

On December 23, 2003 (68 Fed. Reg. 74233), USEPA announced that it had revised its policy relative to the applicability of the SDWA requirements under certain limited circumstances. USEPA recently determined that the national primary drinking water standards (NPDWRs) do not apply to a landlord that submeters the water consumed by its tenants and bills them for the water consumed with some limitations. USEPA believes that apartment buildings and other property types that share characteristics of an apartment building should be subject to the revised policy.

The NPDWRs apply to a “public water system” (PWS), which is a system for provision of water for human consumption through pipes or constructed conveyances to fifteen or more service connections or to 25 or more persons. Section 1401(1) and (4) of SDWA (42 U.S.C. 300f(1) and (4) (2000)). They do not apply, however, to a PWS that (1) consists only of distribution and storage facilities; (2) obtains all of its water from a regulated PWS; (3) does not sell water to any person; and (4) is not a carrier that conveys passengers in interstate commerce. Section 1411 of SDWA (42 U.S.C. 300g (2000)). The revised policy relates to the third limitation of this exemption: the system may not “sell” the water. The revised policy distinguishes “submetering” water from “selling” it.

USEPA stated that the State should make any applicability determination based on the characteristics of the system. USEPA stated that the person that submeters the water must receive all its water from a single regulated PWS to qualify for exemption. Factors listed by USEPA included the existence of a limited distribution system with no known backflow or cross connection issues; the presence of most of the plumbing in buildings, rather than in the ground; and single ownership (or association ownership) of the property. USEPA cited apartment buildings, co-ops, and condominiums as examples of eligible properties. Persons interested in the details of the federal amendments should consult the Federal Register notice of December 23, 2003.

USEPA did not amend its regulations when it published this revised policy relating to the “sale” of water under Section 1311 of SDWA. The Board notes that 40 C.F.R. 141.3 is nearly identical to Section 1311 of SDWA. USEPA did not mention section 141.3 of the SDWA regulations in announcing its revised policy, but the near identity of language would indicate that USEPA has revised its interpretation of section 141.3.

Section 611.100(d) of the Illinois rules is derived from 40 C.F.R. 141.3. The federal policy revision relating to submetered properties alters the scope and meaning of 40 C.F.R. 141.3 and Illinois Section 611.100(d). In the past, when USEPA has undertaken extra-regulatory actions that affect the meaning and implementation of its regulations, the Board has responded by adding a Board note to the affected segment of the rules. Examples in the SDWA regulations include the following Board notes:

Section 611.126 (noting a USEPA interpretation that a certain industry standard was “established in accordance with 42 USC 300g-6(e),” as required by 40 C.F.R. 141.43(d)(3));

Section 611.311 (noting an indefinite USEPA stay of the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for three contaminants, even though the MCLs remain in the regulations);

Section 611.330(h), footnote 2 (noting that USEPA refers to an extrinsic document to add meaning to its regulations);

Section 611.330(h), limitation note (c) (noting a USEPA reference to a table to limit the meaning of its regulations and citing the extrinsic source that sets forth the table); and

Section 611.356(g)(1)(A)(ii) (noting a USEPA interpretation that a certain industry standard was “established in accordance with 42 USC 300g-6(e),” as required by 40 C.F.R. 141.86(g)(1)(i)(B)).

Section 17.5 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/17.5 (2002)) requires the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to the federal NPDWRs and to amendments to the federal NPDWRs. The December 23, 2003 policy revision that distinguishes a person who “submeters” water from one who “sells” it does not involve a regulatory amendment. Nevertheless, it embodies a change in federal policy and alters the meaning and implementation of the federal rules. As the Board has done in the past, the Board now interprets the December 23, 2003 policy revision as an amendment to the federal regulations that is within the scope of our mandate under Section 17.5 of the Act. See, e.g., SDWA Update, USEPA Regulations (July 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002), R03-15 (Oct. 2, 2003) at pp. 9-11 (amending a Board note to Section 611.311 about the indefinite federal stay of the regulations); SDWA Update, USEPA Regulations (July 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000), R01-20 (Oct. 4, 2001) at p. 6 (adding language to footnote 2 and limitation note (c) in Section 611.330(h)); SDWA Update, USEPA Regulations (January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000), R01-7 (Jan. 1, 2001) at p. 8 (adding the name of a national standard to the text of Sections 611.126 and 611.356(g) based on a Federal Register notice); SDWA Update, USEPA Regulations (June 1, 1991 through December 31, 1991), R92-3 (May 5, 1993) (adding a Board note to Section 611.311 about the indefinite federal stay of the regulations).

Although USEPA did not formally amend the text of the rules, its policy is an “agency statement of general applicability that implements, applies, interprets, or prescribes law or policy,” as stated in the definition of “rule” at Section 1-70 the Administrative Procedure Act (5 ILCS 100/1-70 (2002)). The Board has continued the past practice of adding a Board note to the affected segment of the regulations to indicate the federal action. The Board has added that note to the affected segment of the text, which is Section 611.100(d).

The Agency, in PC 1, suggested that the Board include an explanation of how the Agency intends to implement the revised federal policy relative to submetered properties. The Agency drew most of its explanation directly from the December 23, 2003 Federal Register notice. The Agency suggested the following language in the Board note appended to Section 611.100:

BOARD NOTE: On December 23, 2003, USEPA published a re-interpretation of submetering of a water system for the purposes of tracking water use and consumption. A submetered public water system is not considered to “sell” water under the criteria for exemption. The Agency will determine whether or not a public water system meets the criteria for submetering based upon the following: A submetered public water system must purchase all water from a public water system subject to Section 611 regulations. A submetered public water system must have a limited distribution system, with the no history or presence of unprotected cross-connections and a majority of its plumbing within a structure rather than underground. A submetered public water system must be owned by a single/individual or an association of property owners, as in the case of a condominium or co-op. A public water system that serves a large distribution system, a large consumer population, or a mixed commercial/industrial population does not qualify as a submetered public water system. Examples of public water systems that do not qualify as submetered public water systems are military installations or facilities and large mobile home parks

The Board adopts an alternative that more closely tracks the federal language. The revised policy states that USEPA will rely on the State to make the determination whether a property owner “submeters” or “sells” water. USEPA then recites examples when water is “submetered” and when it is “sold.” The Board prefers to allow the federal policy to speak for itself as to how it limits the State’s discretion in making the determination. The Board’s intent is to avoid imposing limits on Agency discretion where USEPA intended only to provide examples to guide State determinations. The Board-adopted note reads as follows (with underlining and overstrike indicating the revisions to the existing Board note):

BOARD NOTE: Derived from 40 CFR 141.3 (2002) (2003). The text of 40 CFR 141.3 is nearly identical to Section 1411 of the federal SDWA (42 USC 300g). On December 23, 2003 (at 68 Fed. Reg. 74233), USEPA announced a change in its policy relating to Section 1411. USEPA determined that a property owner that is not otherwise subject to the SDWA national primary drinking water standards “submeters” water, and does not “sell” water within the meaning of Section 1411(3) if the property owner meters water water to tenants on its property and bills the tenants for the water. USEPA charged the State with determining whether water is “submetered” or “sold” in a particular situation. USEPA stated that eligibility for exclusion requires that the owner obtain water from a regulated water system. USEPA set forth factors for consideration to aid the State in making such a determination: the property has a limited distribution system with no known backflow or cross-connection issues; the majority of the plumbing is within a structure, rather than in the ground; and property ownership is single or within an association of owners. USEPA cited apartment buildings, co-ops, and condominiums as examples of eligible properties. USEPA further stated that it does not intend the policy to apply to a large distribution system, to one that serves a large population, or one that serves a mixed commercial and residential population. USEPA cited “many military installations/facilities” and large mobile home parks as examples of systems to which the policy would not apply.

In summary, the Board incorporated the December 23, 2003 federal policy revision relating to “submetered” water into the Illinois SDWA regulations by adding a Board note reference to the USEPA policy revision at Section 611.100(d), which corresponds with the language of Section 1411 of SDWA. The Board requested comment on the addition of the Board note. Specifically, the Board requested comment on the language chosen to indicate the federal policy revision. The Board received only PC 3 from the Agency expressing satisfaction with the rule as proposed and stating that the Agency would not comment further.

Updating the Name of EMD Chemicals--Section 611.102

In PC 1, EMD Chemicals Inc. requests that the Board update its company name in the incorporations by reference section of the regulations. EMD Chemicals, formerly named EM Science, produces two methods for microbiological analysis of water that are approved by USEPA. The methods are incorporated by reference in Section 611.102.

The Board uses this opportunity to update the three appearances of “EM Science” to “EMD Chemicals” in that Section. The Board invited comment on the proposed name change. The Board received no comments in this regard.

BOARD NOTE: Derived from 40 CFR 141.3 (2002) (2003). The text of 40 CFR 141.3 is nearly identical to Section 1411 of the federal SDWA (42 USC 300g). On December 23, 2003 (at 68 Fed. Reg. 74233), USEPA announced a change in its policy relating to Section 1411. USEPA determined that a property owner that is not otherwise subject to the SDWA national primary drinking water standards “submeters” water, and does not “sell” water within the meaning of Section 1411(3) if the property owner meters water to tenants on its property and bills the tenants for the water. USEPA charged the State with determining whether water is “submetered” or “sold” in a particular situation. USEPA stated that eligibility for exclusion requires that the owner obtain water from a regulated water system. USEPA set forth factors for consideration to aid the State in making such a determination: the property has a limited distribution system with no known backflow or cross-connection issues; the majority of the plumbing is within a structure, rather than in the ground; and property ownership is single or within an association of owners. USEPA cited apartment buildings, co-ops, and condominiums as examples of eligible properties. USEPA further stated that it does not intend the policy to apply to a large distribution system, to one that serves a large population, or one that serves a mixed commercial and residential population. USEPA cited “many military installations/facilities” and large mobile home parks as examples of systems to which the policy would not apply.
