    (July 1, 2003 though December 31, 2003) ) Rulemaking - Public Water Supply)
     
    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)
    USEPA changed its policy and determined that a property owner that “submeters” water,
    i.e.
    , that distributes water to a limited number of tenants on its own property, does not

     
    2
    “sell” water within the meaning of Section 1411(3) of SDWA (42 U.S.C. 300g(3) 2000).
    Thus, such a property owner is a not a public water supply to which the SDWA
    requirements apply.
     
    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
     
    December 23, 2003
    (68 Fed. Reg. 74233)
    Revised USEPA policy relative to the applicability of the SDWA
    requirements to a property owner that “submeters,” rather than
    “sells,” water to a limited number of tenants on its own property.
     
    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.

     
    3
     
    PC 1 Letter dated March 22, 2004 from Teresa Smith, Ph. D., Central Region
    Microbiology Field Specialist, EMD Chemicals Inc.
     
    PC 2 E-mail to M. McCambridge (Board hearing officer in this matter) dated
    January 28, 2004 from Lou Allyn Byus, Assistant Manager, Field Operations,
    Division of Public Water Supply, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency).
     
    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:
     
    Line Numbered Version from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR),
    received June 14, 2004 for Part 611.
     
    PC 3 E-mail to Michael J. McCambridge, Attorney, by Lou Allyn Byus, Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Public Water Supply, dated
    June 15, 2004.
     
    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

     
    4
    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

     
    5
    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).
     

     
    6
    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

     
    7
    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.
     
    Discussion of Miscellaneous Housekeeping Amendments
     
    The tables below list numerous corrections and amendments that are not based on current
    federal amendments. The first table (beginning immediately below) includes deviations made in
    this Proposal for Public Comment from the verbatim text of the federal amendments. The
    second table (beginning immediately after Table 1 below) contains corrections and clarifications
    that the Board made in the base text involved in this proposal. The amendments listed in this
    second table are not directly derived from the current federal amendments. Some of the entries
    in these tables are discussed further in appropriate segments of the general discussion beginning
    at page 4 of this opinion. Table 3 (beginning on page 8 below) is a listing of revisions made to
    the text of the amendments from that proposed and set forth in the Board’s opinion and order of
    May 20, 2004. Table 3 indicates the changes made, as well as the source that suggested each of
    the changes. Table 4 (on page 9 below) indicates suggested revisions that the Board has not
    made in adopting these amendments. Each entry gives a brief explanation why the Board did not
    incorporate the suggested change.

    SUBPART A: GENERAL
     
    Section 611.100 Purpose, Scope, and Applicability
     
    a) This Part satisfies the requirement of Section 17.5 of the Environmental
    Protection Act (Act) [415 ILCS 5/17.5] that the Board adopt regulations that are
    identical in substance with federal regulations promulgated by the United States
    Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) pursuant to Sections 1412(b),
    1414(c), 1417(a), and 1445(a) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (42 USC
    300g-1(b), 300g-3(c), 300g-6(a), and 300j-4(a)).
     
    b) This Part establishes primary drinking water regulations (NPDWRs) pursuant to
    the SDWA, and also includes additional, related State requirements that are
    consistent with and more stringent than the USEPA regulations (Section 7.2(a)(6)
    of the Act [415 ILCS 5/7.2(a)(6)]). The latter provisions are specifically marked
    as “additional State requirements.”. They apply only to community water systems
    (CWSs).
     
    c) This Part applies to “suppliers,”, owners and operators of “public water systems”

     
    16
    (“PWSs”). PWSs include CWSs, “non-community water systems (“non-CWSs”),
    and “non-transient non-community water systems (“NTNCWSs”), as these terms
    are defined in Section 611.101.
     
    1) CWS suppliers are required to obtain permits from the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    602.
     
    2) Non-CWS suppliers are subject to additional regulations promulgated by
    the Illinois Department of Public Health (Public Health or DPH) pursuant
    to Section 9 of the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act [415 ILCS 55/9],
    including 77 Ill. Adm. Code 900.
     
    3) Non-CWS suppliers are not required to obtain permits or other approvals
    from the Agency, or to file reports or other documents with the Agency.
    Any provision in this Part so providing is to be understood as requiring the
    non-CWS supplier to obtain the comparable form of approval from, or to
    file the comparable report or other document with Public Health.
     
    BOARD NOTE: Derived from 40 CFR 141.1 (2002) (2003).
     
    d) This Part applies to each PWS, unless the PWS meets all of the following
    conditions:
     
    1)
    Consists The PWS consists only of distribution and storage facilities (and
    does not have any collection and treatment facilities);
     
    2)
    Obtains The PWS obtains all of its water from, but is not owned or
    operated by, a supplier to which such regulations apply;
     
    3)
    Does The PWS does not sell water to any person; and
     
    4)
    Is The PWS is not a carrier that conveys passengers in interstate
    commerce.
     
    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

     
    17
    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.
     
    e) Some subsection labels have been omitted in order to maintain local consistency
    between USEPA subsection labels and the subsection labels in this Part.
