ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
Section 22.40(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.40(a) (2004))
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 (2004).
Specifically, Section 22.40(a) relates to municipal solid waste landfill (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); RCRA Subtitle D). USEPA has codified the federal
MSWLF rules as 40 C.F.R. 258.
The Board reserved this docket for USEPA amendments during the period between July
1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. During that time period, USEPA did not amend its
MSWLF regulations at 40 C.F.R. 258. 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 Board
adopted the above order on February 1, 2007, by a vote of 4-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
