ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
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 UST amendments adopted by USEPA from
January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006. During that time period, USEPA did not amend its
wastewater pretreatment 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 above
order was adopted on September 21, 2006, by a vote of 4-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
