Dear Ms.

Gunn:

The United States Environmental

Protection Agency (U.S.

EPA)

has reviewed the

Illinois Pollution Control Board’s August

11,

1994, Proposed Order of RCRA

Update R94-17, which

is analogous to the RCRA Cluster IV rules that appeared

in the Federal Register between January 1, 1994,

and June 30,

1994.

Thank you for pointing out the errors in the Spill

Prevention Control and

Countermeasures Plan regulations formerly located at 40 CFR Section

1510.

We

have notified our Headquarters office of these errors.

As pointed out in your

opinion, the National Contingency Plan

is located in 40 CFR Section 300.

However, there are also emergency preparedness and notification requirements

in 40 CFR Section 355, which should be referenced in your next docket.

We have

no comments on this

submission, as

it meets the Federal requirements

for RCRA Cluster

IV.

Please contact Mr. Gary Westefer, of my staff, at

(312) 886—7450,

if you have any questions, or are in need of further

assistance.

Sincerely yours,

~

Norman R. Niedergang

Associate Division Director for RCRA

Waste Management Division
