Proposed Rule. Dismissal Order.
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
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
July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. 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 February 3, 2005, by a vote of 4-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
