Letter from the Chairman
In September, Board Members and Board staff were invited to tour the Chicago
City Hall rooftop garden. The rooftop garden is part of an initiative around the
world to install “Green Roofs”. Rooftops are vastly underutilized spaces in the
urban environment, yet it is possible for any landscape, plaza, or garden to be
installed on a building or structure. In Europe, over the past thirty years,
rooftops have become the focus of a quiet but steady revolution through the
application of green roof technologies. According to our guide, Chicago has
over 250 green roofs constructed or are planned.
The primary purpose of the City Hall Green Roof Project is to provide a green
roof demonstration to facilitate research and educational outreach in a mid-
western climate. Completed in 2001, the rooftop garden was designed to test
different types of green roof systems, heating and cooling benefits, success rates
of native and non-native vegetation, and reductions in rainwater runoff. The
three systems integrated into the design include lightweight soils at 4, 6 and 18
inches in depth. Although the rooftop is not normally accessible to the public, it is visually accessible from 33 taller
buildings in the area.
Plantings in the rooftop garden are organized in a sunburst pattern, to respect the symmetry of the historic City Hall
and provide a format for arranging groups of plants over the three different roof systems. Though green roofs are
typically planted with only sedums and low grasses, the planting palette on top of City Hall has been expanded to
accommodate research related to the viability of over 100 species of plants. Types of plants include native prairie
and woodland grasses and forbs, hardy ornamental perennials and grasses, several species of native and ornamental
shrubs, and two varieties of trees.
The City Hall Green Roof Project serves as a living laboratory with monitoring that began in 2002. For example,
summer air temperatures above the green roof surface appear to be much cooler than air temperatures measured on
the traditional black tar roof membrane on the adjacent Cook County half of the building. The ambient air
temperature above the green roof surface has been as much as 78 degrees F. cooler than above the adjacent black tar
membrane.
We greatly appreciated the opportunity provided by the City of Chicago to view this experiment to improve the
urban environment. We would like to thank the City for the tour and for the ongoing research.
Sincerely,
G. Tanner Girard, Ph.D.
Acting Chairman

Federal Update
United States Environmental Protection Agency Adopts Direct Final Rules (and Proposes
Identical Proposed Rules) to Approve and Promulgate an Air Quality Implementation Plan
for Illinois Related to the Ford Motor Company Adjusted Standard
On September 6, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 52504) the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) published a direct final rule, and an identical proposed rule, to approve a January 4,
2006, request from Illinois for a site specific revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan
(SIP) for the Ford Motor Company (Ford).
The SIP revision request involves relief granted by the Board in the adjusted standard captioned
Petition of Ford Motor Company for Adjusted Standard From 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.586
, AS 5-5
(September 1, 2005). USEPA approval of the SIP revision will allow Ford to discontinue use of
its Stage II vapor recovery system (Stage II) at its Chicago Assembly Plant. In place of Stage II,
Ford will comply with the standards of the Federal onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR)
regulations, as well as meet other minor conditions. The exclusive use of ORVR will provide at
least an equivalent amount of gasoline vapor capture as Stage II.
If no adverse comments are received in response to the direct final rule, USEPA stated that no
further activity on the proposed rule would be contemplated. If USEPA receives adverse
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. USEPA will not institute a
second comment period.
Comments must be received on or before October 6, 2006. Submit your comments, identified by
Docket ID No. EPA-R05-OAR-2006-0436, by one of the following methods:

Rule Update
Board Adopts First Notice Opinion and Order in Proposed Amendments to Tiered
Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (35 Ill. Adm. Code 742) (R06-10)
On September 7, 2006, the Board adopted a first notice opinion and order in Proposed
Amendments to Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (35 Ill. Adm. Code 742) (R06-
10). The rulemaking is based on a proposal filed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(IEPA). The proposed amendments to the Board’s Tiered Approach to Corrective Action
Objectives (TACO) regulations update standards and improve procedures, and make various
needed corrections and clarifications. The rulemaking was filed with the Secretary of State’s
Index department and published in the
Illinois Register
at 30 Ill. Reg. 15366 (September 29,
2006). The Board will accept comments on the first notice proposal for 45 days after the
publication, through November 13, 2006.
The Board’s TACO regulations at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742 provide methods for developing risk-
based remediation objectives to be used in environmental contamination cleanups under various
regulatory programs, including those for Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST); Site
Remediation Program (SRP); and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part B
Permits and Closure Plans.
The amendments in this rulemaking include the addition of background soil levels as remediation
objectives for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), newly-applicable residential
remediation objectives to protect construction workers, and the addition of new mandatory forms
to be used for certain institutional controls. Additionally, the Board is amending the
incorporations by reference to reflect new or updated test methods and technical support
documents.
The Board is proposing to add a new subsection (h) to Section 742.105 on TACO applicability, to
clarify that landfills cannot use TACO in lieu of the procedures and requirements applicable to
landfills under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 807, 811-814. The amendments also propose changes to clarify
the use of Highway Authority Agreements (HAAs). These agreements are typically between the
highway authority and the property owner. The amendments address situations when a LUST
owner or operator (the person who would receive the no further remediation (NFR) Letter) is not
the owner of the property. In addition, the Board is proposing a new instrument as an institutional
control (Highway Authority Agreement Memorandum of Agreement or HAA MOA) to address
situations where the highway authority is the property owner or LUST owner or operator and
contamination remains under the highway. Because the highway authority cannot enter into a
binding agreement with itself, under the HAA MOA the highway authority can enter into an
agreement with the IEPA.
Another topic addressed is institutional controls. In the hearings the Board held on this
rulemaking prior to first notice, the IEPA stated that it was aware of at least two instances where
ordinances approved as institutional controls were later amended or repealed without notice to the
IEPA. Accordingly, the Board is proposing to add new requirements to alert the IEPA of actions
affecting institutional control ordinances. Another amendment allows greater scope to ordinances
that are employed to restrict groundwater usage. The IEPA testified that under the existing
Section 742.320(d), an ordinance could be used to exclude the groundwater ingestion exposure
route only if the ordinance effectively prohibits installing and using potable water supply wells
within 2,500 feet from the source of the release. The 2,500-foot distance was originally proposed
to correspond to the maximum setback zone for a community water supply well under Section
14.3 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/14.3 (2004)). However, sites near a municipal boundary cannot
currently use this institutional control where the 2,500-foot radius would extend beyond the
Environmental Register – September 2006
3
municipal boundary, and there is no such ordinance in effect beyond the municipal boundary. To
address this issue, the first-notice amendments propose to allow use of a groundwater ordinance
for any area within the measured and modeled extent of groundwater contamination above what
would otherwise be the applicable Tier I groundwater objectives.
The amendments propose to add new institutional control forms to be used by participants in
regulatory programs subject to the TACO remediation objectives. These forms are based on
model documents that the IEPA had posted on its Web site for easy public access and use. The
IEPA stated that it would now be appropriate to codify the model documents and formally require
their use.
Additionally, the amendments propose to change the existing lead soil remediation objective for
the industrial/commercial and construction worker ingestion pathways from 400 milligrams per
kilogram (mg/kg) to 800 mg/kg and 700 mg/kg for the industrial/commercial and construction
worker ingestion routes, respectively. The existing remediation level is based on a child’s
exposure assumptions; the proposed new levels are more appropriately based on the United States
Environmental Protection Agency’s Adult Blood Lead Model.
The Board held two hearings in this rulemaking prior to first notice; on January 31, 2006, in
Chicago and on March 1, 2006, in Springfield. The Board does not currently anticipate holding
additional hearings in this rulemaking.

Board Extends Adoption Deadline on its own Motion in UIC Corrections, USEPA
Amendments (July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, R06-16; RCRA Subtitle D Update,
USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 and August 1, 2005), R06-
17; RCRA Subtitle C Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2005 through December 31,
2005 and August 1, 2005), R06-18 (consolidated).
On September 7, 2006, the Board, on its own motion, adopted an order to extend the final
adoption deadline until December 6, 2006 in UIC Corrections, USEPA Amendments (July 1,
2005 through December 31, 2005, R06-16; RCRA Subtitle D Update, USEPA Amendments (July
1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 and August 1, 2005), R06-17; RCRA Subtitle C Update,
USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 and August 1, 2005), R06-18
(consolidated). A notice of the Board’s action to extend the statutory adoption deadline under
Section 7.2(b) of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (Act), 415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2006) was
timely filed with the Secretary of State’s Index department and published in the
Illinois Register
at
30 Ill. Reg. 15831(September 29, 2006).
The Board explained had previously extended until September 14, 2006 the original August 5,
2006 deadline for adoption and filing of rules in this consolidated identical in substance
rulemaking. The Board first extended the public comment deadline in response to a May 18, 2006
request made by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for extension of the public
comment period scheduled to close June 5, 2006. In a June 1, 2006 order, the Board granted the
IEPA motion extending the close of the public comments until June 30, 2006, and extending the
Board’s adoption deadline until December 6, 2007. (See
Environmental Register
No. 624 (June,
2006) at page 4 for a summary of the Board’s June extension order).
In its September 7, 2006 opinion and order, the Board again found it necessary to extend the
deadline for final rule adoption in this identical-in-substance rulemaking. The Board explained
that more time was needed than originally anticipated to review the IEPA’s detailed June 30, 2006
comments.

Board Timely Adopts Final Opinion and order in Standards and Requirements for Potable
Water Well Surveys and for Community Relations Activities Performed in Conjunction
with Agency Notices of Threats From Contamination Under P.A. 94-314 (35 Ill. Adm. Code
1600) (R06-23)
On September 7, 2006, the Board timely adopted a final opinion and order in Standards and
Requirements for Potable Water Well Surveys and for Community Relations Activities Performed
in Conjunction with Agency Notices of Threats From Contamination Under P.A. 94-314 (35 Ill.
Adm. Code 1600) (R06-23). Public Act 94-314, effective July 25, 2005, added a new Title VI-D
(“Right-To-Know”) to the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/1
et seq
.). Public Act
94-314 required the Board to adopt well survey and community relations rules within 240 days of
its effective date (by September 17, 2006). The final rule, effective September 15, 2006,was
published at 30 Ill. Reg. 15756 (September 29, 2006).
Public Act 94-314 directed the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to propose rules
requiring potable water well surveys and community relations activities in response to releases of
contaminants that have impacted or may impact offsite groundwater or soil. The new Part
adopted by the Board codifies procedures currently followed by the IEPA in conducting potable
water supply well surveys when those surveys are required under the Act or Board rules. Also
required by Public Act 94-314, the new Part defines how the IEPA, or any party authorized by the
IEPA, must conduct community relations activities in response to releases of contaminants that
have impacted or may impact offsite potable water supply wells. The regulations governing
community relations activities are in addition to, but not in lieu of, any existing reporting and
notification requirements.
The new Part 1600 contains three subparts. Subpart A contains general information. Subpart B
contains the procedures for performing potable water well surveys as part of response actions
taken to address releases of contaminants. Subpart C contains the standards and requirements for
community relations activities to be developed and implemented when the authorized party agrees
to take on the IEPA’s notice obligations as part of IEPA-approved community relations activities.
Part 1600 dictates that specified potable water well surveys and community relations activities
must be taken in response to releases of contaminants that have impacted or may impact offsite
groundwater or soil. The rule includes minimum standards for the performance and
documentation of water well surveys required under applicable Board rules. When water well
surveys are required, Subpart B requires compliance with minimum standards during site
investigations to ensure complete and accurate identification of the existence and location of
potable water supply wells.
Copies of the Board’s opinion and order in R06-23 may be obtained by calling Dorothy Gunn at
312-814-3620, or by downloading copies from the Board’s Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us.

Board Denies Midwest Generation L. L. C.’s Motion to Hold Additional Hearings in
Proposed New 35 Ill. Adm. Code 225 Control of Emissions from Large Combustion Sources
(Mercury) (R06-25)
On September 7, 2006, the Board adopted an order denying the August 24, 2006 motion for
additional hearings filed by Midwest Generation L.L.C. (Midwest Generation) in Proposed New
35 Ill. Adm. Code 225 Control of Emissions from Large Combustion Sources (Mercury) (R06-
25).
In its motion, Midwest Generation addresses two joint statements filed before the end of the
August 2006 hearings by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) with Ameren
Energy Generating Company, AmerenEnergy Resource Generating Company, and Electric
Energy, Inc. (collectively, Ameren) on July 28, 2006, and by the IEPA with Dynegy Midwest
Generation, Inc. (Dynegy) on August 21, 2006. Both joint statements concern proposed Multiple
Pollutant Standard (MPS) amendments to be added to the first notice rule proposal. Midwest
Generation contended that the MPS amendments require additional hearing before the Board
because: first, the MPS creates fundamental issues and questions that require additional hearings;
second, the proposed MPS language raises state law issues and questions; third, the MPS raises
federal law issues and questions. The Board received three responses to Midwest Generation’s
motion for additional hearings. The IEPA and Ameren opposed additional hearings while Kincaid
Generation L.L.C. (Kincaid) supported the request.
In its order, the Board stated that it appreciated arguments made by both Midwest Generation and
Kincaid concerning issues of both federal and state law regarding the inclusion of the MPS in any
rule that the Board adopts for second notice. But, the Board stated that it would not discuss or
rule on those arguments as part of the motion for additional hearings, finding their consideration
more appropriately considered in determining whether or not to include the MPS at second notice.
As to the specific issue of additional hearings, although cognizant of the concerns expressed by
Midwest Generation and Kincaid, the Board stated that it was unconvinced that additional
hearings will further develop a record in order to address these concerns. Midwest Generation
and Kincaid expressed concerns about the inability of participants to fully examine the impacts of
the joint statements. Specifically Midwest Generation and Kincaid stated that they were
concerned about the potential impact of the MPS on companies that do not opt-in to the voluntary
MPS program, on future sulfur dioxide (SO
2)
, and nitrogen oxide (NO
x)
rulemakings, and the
specific effect on the operations of Midwest Generation and Kincaid in controlling mercury
emissions.
The Board noted that, as pointed out by both the IEPA and Ameren, the Ameren/IEPA joint
statement was filed before the beginning of the August hearings. Pre-filed questions were filed
addressing many of these issues and follow-up questions further flushed out information relating
to these issues. Also, at the hearing, the hearing officer specifically asked several questions on the
record concerning not only the joint statements, but also the proposed language from Kincaid.
The hearing officer invited all participants to comment on those questions. As a result, the Board
stated that it expected that additional information concerning the joint statements as well as many
other aspects of the proposal would be filed in the post-hearing comments. For all of these
reasons, the Board determined additional hearings were unnecessary.
Copies of the Board’s September 7, 2006 opinion and order in R06-25 may be obtained by calling
Dorothy Gunn at 312-814-3620, or by downloading copies from the Board’s Web site at

Board Adopts First Notice Opinion and Order in Organic Material Emission Standards And
Limitations for the Chicago And Metro-East Areas: Proposed Amendments to 35 Ill. Code
218 and 219 (R06-21)
On September 21, 2006, the Board adopted a first notice opinion and order in Organic Material
Emission Standards And Limitations for the Chicago And Metro-East Areas: Proposed
Amendments to 35 Ill. Code 218 and 219 (R06-21). The rulemaking, based on a proposal filed by
the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) on December 22, 2005, seeks to amend the
Board’s volatile organic material (VOM) rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218 and 219 to allow for the
use of add-on controls as a compliance option for operations using cold cleaning solvent
degreasing. The proposed amendments affect cold cleaning degreasing operations located in the
Chicago and Metro-East ozone nonattainment areas. The proposed amendments were filed with
the Secretary of State’s Index department for publication in the October 6, 2006 issue of the
Illinois Register
.
The proposed amendments would allow the use of add-on controls as an alternative to using
solvents with vapor pressure of 1.0 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) or less on and after November
30, 2006. Additionally, the proposal would allow the use of an equivalent alternative control plan
to comply with the control measure requirements. The proposed amendments include testing
procedures and recordkeeping requirements for add-on controls and equivalent alternative
controls.
Finally, the Board also proposed clean-up amendments to Appendix H in both Parts 218 and 219
consistent with its announced intent to do so in the recently completed consolidated docket R04-
12/R04-20.
See
Clean-Up Part III Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Parts 211, 218, and 219
,
R04-20, Technical Corrections to Formulas in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 214 “Sulfur Limitations”
, R04-
12 (cons.) (Mar. 2, 2006). To remedy unintentional omissions from the IEPA proposal, in R06-21
the Board proposed amendments to the “paper coating” note at Appendix H in Part 218 to ensure
consistency with the already-amended “paper coating” note at Section 218.204(c). The Board
proposed identical amendments to the “paper coating” note at Appendix H in Part 219 to ensure
consistency with the already-amended “paper coating” note at Section 219.204(c). To insure that
the record in R06-21 adequately supports these additional amendments, the Board on its own
motion incorporated by reference the R04-12/20 record into this R06-21 proceeding.
The Board held hearings in R06-21 on April 19, 2006 in Chicago, and on May 17, 2006 in
Edwardsville. Currently the Board does not anticipate holding additional hearings in this
rulemaking.
Copies of the Board’s opinion and order in R06-21 may be obtained by calling Dorothy Gunn at

Board Dismisses 5 Identical in Substance Rulemaking Dockets As Unnecessary: Definition
of VOM Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006), R07-1;
UIC Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006)
, R07-3; RCRA
Subtitle D (Municipal Solid Waste Landfill) Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2006

June 30, 2006), R07-6; Wastewater Pretreatment Update, USEPA Regulations (January 1,
2006 through June 30, 2006), R07-7
Every six months the Board reserves a series of dockets, for adoption of Board rules, to
accommodate any rules adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
to implement various programs. On September 7, 2006, the Board dismissed as unnecessary five
dockets reserved to consider rules adopted by USEPA during the period January 1, 2005 through
Environmental Register – September 2006
7
June 30, 2005. In each of the three program areas described below, USEPA adopted no rules
during the update period.
Definition of “Volatile Organic Material” (VOM ) (R07-1)
. Sections 7.2 and 9.1(e) of the
Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/9.1(e) (2006)) 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 (2006). Specifically, Section 9.1(e) of the Act (415
ILCS 5/9.1(e) (2006)) relates to the VOM definition, and those compounds that USEPA has found
to be exempted from regulation under state implementation plans for ozone due to negligible
photochemical reactivity. USEPA has codified these exemptions as part of its definitions at 40
C.F.R. 51.100(s).
Underground Injection Control
(
UIC) Update (R07-3).
Section 13(c) of the Environmental
Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/13(c) (2006)) 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 (2006). Specifically, Section 13(c) relates to UIC regulations that
USEPA adopted to implement provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 300h
et
seq
. (2003)). USEPA has codified its UIC regulations at 40 C.F.R. 144 through 148
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D (Municipal Solid Waste
Landfill) (MSWLF) (R07-4).
Section 22.40(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415
ILCS 5/22.40(a) (2006)) 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
(2006). Specifically, Section 22.40(a) relates to MSWLF regulations that USEPA adopted to
implement Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C
§§ 6941-6949 (2003)). USEPA has codified the federal MSWLF rules as 40 C.F.R. 258.
Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program (R07-6)
. Section 22.4(d) of the Environmental
Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.4(d) (2006)) requires the Board to adopt regulations which
are “identical in substance,” as defined at Section 7.2 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2 (2006)), to UST
regulations promulgated by the USEPA pursuant to Section 9003 of the federal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 6991b (2003), to
implement Subtitle I of RCRA (42 U.S.C. §§ 6991
et seq
. (2003)), with certain limitations.
USEPA has codified its UST regulations at 40 C.F.R. 281 through 283.
Wastewater Pretreatment (R07-7)
. Sections 7.2 and 13.3 of the Environmental Protection Act
(Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 13.3 (2006)), 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 (2006). 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.
