    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 between
    July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. During that time period, USEPA did not amend is
    wastewater pretreatment regulations at 40 C.F.R. 400 through 499. 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 February 1, 2007, by a vote of ________.
