RE:
DCEO Determination on Request for
Economic Impact Study of Setback
Zone for the City of Marquette Heights Community Water Supply,
New
35
Ill Adm. Code 618
Rulemaking Docket R05-09
Dear Chairman Novak:
Thank you very much for yourDecember 9, 2004 letter requesting a determination as to whether
the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) intends to conduct an eco-
nomic impact study ofthe proposed rule in the above-referenced docket.
DCEO has reviewed the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed rule establishing a
1,000-foot setback zone to protect groundwater wells in the City of Marquette Heights, (new
35
Ill. Adm. Code 618).
Based on this review, and in light of continued fiscal constraints, DCEO
will not be conducting a study ofthe economic impact ofthe proposed rules pursuant to 415
ILCS
5/27(b).
Thank you for soliciting DCEO’s input in this matter.
