NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION PURSUANT TO 415 ILCS 5/7.2(b)
In this Notice of Public Information under Section 7.2(b) of the Illinois Environmental Protection
Act (Act), 415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2006), the Board explains why it has extended until August 15,
2008, the deadline for adoption and filing of rules in the following consolidated identical in
substance rulemaking: Wastewater Pretreatment Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2007
though June 30, 2007)(R08-5); SDWA Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2007 though
June 30, 2007)(R08-7); SDWA Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2007 though December
31, 2007)(R08-13) (consolidated). The Board has not yet adopted a proposal for public comment
in this rulemaking, so there has been no
Illinois Register
publication in this consolidated docket.
The Board anticipates that it will adopt a proposal for public comment at its April 17, 2008
meeting, and that the proposal will be filed by April 28, 2008 with the Secretary of State's Index
Department for publication in the May 9, 2008
Illinois Register.
If these events timely occur and
no additional delay is required to adequately respond to public comments, the Board anticipates
adoption of final rules at its July 24, 2008 meeting. The Board anticipates filing the adopted
amendments with the Secretary of State's Index Department by August 4, 2008.
On March 6, 2008, the Board adopted an order to consolidate these identical in substance
rulemakings. In that order the Board also found it necessary to extend the one-year period for
completion of these amendments. The adoption deadline, based on the first federal action in
docket R08-5, originally was March 12, 2008. The Board found that the statutory one-year
period in this consolidated docket was insufficient for completion of the amendments.
The Board was unable to initiate this rulemaking earlier due to the unusually high demands on
staff resources over the last several months as a result of a greatly increased volume of complex
federal rulemaking. In addition, the Board expects this rulemaking to take a considerable
amount of effort, since it involves updating the analytical methods used to demonstrate
compliance with the SDWA and wastewater pretreatment requirements.
