ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.P. Novak):

 

Sections 7.2 and 13.3 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and

13.3 (2004)), require 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

(2004). Specifically, Section 13.3 relates to wastewater pretreatment regulations that the

USEPA adopted to implement Sections 307(b), (c), and (d) and 402(b)(8) and (b)(9) of the

federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C. §§ 1317(b), (c), and (d) and

1342(b)(8) and (b)(9) (2003)). USEPA has codified the federal wastewater pretreatment rules as

40 C.F.R. 400 through 499.

 

The Board reserved this docket for any wastewater pretreatment amendments adopted by

USEPA between January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005. During that time period, USEPA

amended the federal wastewater pretreatment regulations once, on February 1, 2005 (at 70 Fed.

Reg. 5058). The Board consolidated and adopted those amendments in the wastewater

pretreatment docket, Wastewater Pretreatment Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2004

through June 30, 2004), R05-4, and Wa

stewater Pretreatment Update, USEPA Amendments

(July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, February 1, 2005), R05-15 (Apr. 21, 2005)

(consolidated). 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 above

order was adopted on September 1, 2005, by a vote of 5-0.
