    Proposed Rule. Dismissal Order.
    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
