OPINION OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):

SUMMARY OF THIS ACTION

The Board today proposes amendments to the Illinois regulations that are “identical in

substance” to wastewater pretreatment and drinking water regulations adopted by the United

States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The amendments involved in this

consolidated docket incorporate into the Illinois wastewater pretreatment and drinking water

regulations amendments in response to two USEPA actions. Those actions span the two

identical-in-substance update periods of January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007

through December 31, 2007. The Board has added a third set of USEPA amendments that

occurred later than these periods. The added later amendments are closely related to

amendments that occurred during the January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007 time period.

The Board further finds that more time is necessary to complete these amendments and

extends the deadline for final action by this order. The deadline is extended from August 15,

2008 until December 1, 2008 pursuant to Section 7.2(b) of the Environmental Protection Act

(Act), 415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2006). The reasons for the extension is discussed below on page 5 of

this opinion.

This is the second extension of the deadline. By an order dated March 6, 2006, the Board

found that an extension of the deadline for final adoption of these amendments was necessary.

That order extended the deadline from March 12, 2008 until August 15, 2008.

The R08-5 docket includes federal wastewater pretreatment amendments that USEPA

adopted in the period January 1, 2007 though June 30, 2007. On March 12, 2007, USEPA

---

adopted amendments relating to analytical methods approved under the wastewater pretreatment

and drinking water programs. The R08-5 docket includes the wastewater pretreatment segments

of those amendments.

The R08-7 docket includes federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) amendments that

USEPA adopted in the period January 1, 2007 though June 30, 2007, and on June 3, 2008. On

March 12, 2007, USEPA adopted amendments relating to analytical methods approved under the

wastewater pretreatment and drinking water programs. The R08-5 docket includes the drinking

water segments of those amendments. On June 3, 2008, USEPA approved alternative methods

for analysis under the drinking water program. The Board has added the June 3, 2008

amendments to the R08-5 docket due to their close relationship with the March 12, 2007

amendments.

The R08-13 docket includes federal SDWA amendments that USEPA adopted in the

period July 1, 2007 though December 31, 2007. On October 10, 2007, USEPA revised segments

of the Lead and Copper Rule under the drinking water regulations.

Sections 7.2 and 13.3 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 13.3 (2006)) require the Board to

adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to federal wastewater pretreatment

regulations. The USEPA wastewater pretreatment rules 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) (2006)). The federal wastewater pretreatment

regulations are found at 40 C.F.R. 400 through 499. Section 13.3 also provides that Title VII of

the Act and Section 5 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 ILCS 100/5-35 and 5-40

(2006)) do not apply to the Board’s adoption of identical-in-substance regulations.

Sections 7.2 and 17.5 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 17.5 (2006)) provide for quick

adoption by the Board of regulations that are identical in substance to federal regulations that

USEPA adopts to implement Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and 1445(a) of the federal

SDWA (42 U.S.C. §§ 300g-1(a), 300g-3(c), 300g-6(a), and 300j-4(a) (2006)). The USEPA

National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) implement Sections 1412(b), 1414(c),

1417(a), and 1445(a) of the federal SDWA (42 U.S.C. §§ 300g-1(a), 300g-3(c), 300g-6(a), and

300j-4(a) (2006)). The federal SDWA regulations are found at 40 C.F.R. 141 through 143.

Section 17.5 also provides that Title VII of the Act and Section 5 of the APA (5 ILCS 100/5-35

and 5-40 (2006)) do not apply to the Board’s adoption of identical-in-substance regulations.

The Board will cause the proposed amendments to be published in the

Illinois Register

and will hold the docket open to receive public comments for 45 days after the date of

publication. The Board will then adopt and file the final rules, taking into account the public

comments received. The Board specifically requests comment on two aspects of the rules:

location of particular analytical methods approved by USEPA and Agency approval of the

content of public education materials.

The Board presently expects that rules will be adopted and filed no later than December

1, 2008, pursuant to the extension of the deadline adopted by the Board pursuant to Section

7.2(b) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2006)) in this order.

This opinion supports an order that the Board also adopts today.

FEDERAL ACTIONS CONSIDERED IN THIS RULEMAKING

This docket includes federal SDWA amendments that USEPA adopted in two

consecutive time periods: January 1, 2007 though June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007 though

December 31, 2007. USEPA adopted one set of amendments during the two periods that

affected the wastewater pretreatment regulations and the SDWA primary drinking water

regulations. A second set of amendments adopted in the two periods amended the SDWA rules

alone. A third set of amendments that the Board has included occurred outside these two

periods. That third set is closely related to amendments already included in this consolidated

docket. The following briefly summarizes the three principal federal actions that are considered

in this rulemaking, including four corrections to them:

March 12, 2007 (at 72 Fed. Reg. 11200)

USEPA modified the testing procedures approved for sampling and analysis in programs

established under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the SDWA. The wastewater pretreatment

rules are established under CWA, and the Primary Drinking Water Regulations are established

under SDWA. The amendments updated the versions allowed for existing methods and

approved new methods for use. The drinking water aspects of these amendments relate closely

to later amendments adopted by USEPA on June 3, 2008. A brief description of the June 3, 2008

action appears below on page 4 of this opinion.

October 10, 2007 (at 71 Fed. Reg. 65574)

USEPA amended the lead and copper rule to strengthen its implementation in the areas of

monitoring, treatment processes, public education, customer awareness, and lead service line

replacement. The federal amendments were effective on December 10, 2007. Compliance by

regulated entities is due no later than December 10, 2009.

Later SDWA (Drinking Water) Amendments of Interest

The Board engages in ongoing monitoring of federal actions. As of the date of this

opinion and accompanying order, the Board has identified one set of related USEPA actions

since December 31, 2007 that further amend the SDWA rules in a way that affects the present

amendments. The following describes those amendments in brief:

---

4

June 3, 2008 (at 73 Fed. Reg. 31616)

USEPA approved 99 alternative test methods for analysis of contaminants in drinking

water. This was USEPA’s first use of a new summary approval mechanism. Section 1401(1) of

SDWA (42 U.S.C. § 300f(1) (2006)) authorizes USEPA to approve alternative methods by

guidance published in a

Federal Register

notice without the formalities of a full rulemaking

action. USEPA listed the methods in a new appendix to 40 C.F.R. 141.

When the Board observes an action outside the nominal timeframe of a docket that

requires expedited consideration, the Board will expedite consideration of those amendments in

the pending docket. Federal actions that could warrant expedited consideration include those

that directly affect the amendments involved in this docket, those for which compelling reasons

would warrant consideration as soon as possible, and those for which the Board has received a

request for expedited consideration.

The Board has included the June 3, 2008 USEPA action in docket R08-7 because most of

the methods involved in that action affect the same segments of the Illinois rules that are

involved in the March 12, 2007 amendments. Further, many of the alterative methods approved

in the June 3, 2008 action are the same version of the methods as are involved in the March 12,

2007 amendments, but they are now available in a printed volume, rather than from an on-line

source in an electronic format.

If the Board identifies any federal action that fulfills these criteria prior to final action on

the present amendments, the Board may include those amendments in the present consolidated

docket R08-5/R08-7/R08-13 upon final adoption.

Illinois SDWA (Drinking Water) Regulations

In addition to the amendments to the federal wastewater pretreatment and SDWA

regulations, amendments to certain other federal regulations occasionally have an effect on the

Illinois drinking water rules. Most notably, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611.102 includes the

incorporation of 40 C.F.R. 136.3(a) and Appendix B to 40 C.F.R. 136 of by reference. These are

federal CWA methods for analysis of contaminants in water. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 310.110

similarly incorporates several segments of the federal regulations by reference, including 40

C.F.R. 3.3, 3.10, 3.2000, 25, tables II and II in appendix D to part 122, 136, 403 (generally),

403.12, appendices D and G to part 403, and 503. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 307.2201 incorporates 40

C.F.R. 122.23(b) and (c) by reference, and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 310.602 incorporates 40 C.F.R.

403.12(b) by reference.

As of December 31, 2007, the ending date of the federal actions involved in this proposal

for public comment, USEPA had not amended any of these federal regulations. No Board action

will be required at this time to update the versions of these documents incorporated by reference

in any of Parts 307, 310, or 611.

---

EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINE FOR FINAL ACTION

Under Section 7.2 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/7.2(b) (2004)), the Board must complete this

rulemaking within one year of the date of the earliest set of federal amendments considered in

this docket. USEPA adopted the earliest federal amendments that required Board attention on

March 12, 2007, so that the deadline for Board adoption of these amendments under that

provision was March 12, 2008.

Section 7.2(b), however, further provides for extension of the deadline for final Board

action by adoption of a Board order and publication of a Notice of Public Information on

Proposed Rules that extends the deadline. By an order dated March 6, 2008, the Board used this

provision to extend the deadline. Delays in finalizing the voluminous hazardous waste

amendments involved in RCRA Subtitle C Update, USEPA Amendments (March 5, 2005,

September 8, 2005, January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006), R07-5 and RCRA Subtitle C

Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006), R07-14 (June 5, 2008)

delayed development of this proposal for public comment. This was compounded by the volume

and complexity of the present amendments. These are the principal factors that make an

extension of the deadline for final action in this matter necessary. The Board today again

extends the deadline for completion of this proceeding.

The final Board action to adopt these amendments is now December 1, 2008. This

extended deadline has a slight amount of extra time added to allow for any minor unforeseen

delays in finalizing the amendments.

Considering the proposal of these amendments on this date, the Board presently projects

the following will occur in the progress towards completion of these amendments:

Extended Due date (by a March 6, 2008 order):

August 15, 2008

PUBLIC COMMENTS

The Board will receive public comments on this proposal for 45 days following its

publication in the

Illinois Register

. After that time, the Board will immediately consider

adoption of the amendments, making any necessary changes made evident through the public

comments. The Board expects to file any adopted rules with the Secretary of State immediately

after adoption, but no later than December 1, 2008.

---

As of this date, the Board has received one series of e-mail communications and a second

responsive e-mail, both of which bore attachments, that have been introduced into the docket as

public comments. These are described as follows:

PC 1 E-mail to Michael J. McCambridge, Board Hearing Officer, from Jayne Brown,

Waters Chemistry Tech Support, Waters Corp., dated July 8, 2008, with

attachment, “Dissolved Inorganic Anions in Aqueous Matrices by Capillary Ion

Electrophoresis.”

PC 2 E-mail exchange between Michael J. McCambridge, Board Hearing Officer, and

Pat Fair, Technical Support Center, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water,

USEPA, between July 8, 2008 and July 10, 2008, with attachment, “Test Method

for Determination of Dissolved Inorganic Anions in Aqueous Matrices Using

Capillary Ion Electrophoresis and Chromate Electrolyte.”

DISCUSSION

The following discussion begins with a description of the amendments undertaken in

direct response to the federal action involved in this proceeding. The discussion closes with a

description of the miscellaneous amendments that are not directly derived from the federal

action, but which the Board routinely includes in these update dockets as necessary.

Discussions of the Federal Actions

Analytical Methods Update--Sections 307.4000, 307.7500, 310.107, 611.102, 611.526,

611.531, 611.600, 611.611, 611.612, 611.645, and 611.720

The USEPA action of March 12, 2007 (72 Fed. Reg. 11200) amended the provisions that

prescribe the analytical methods that a regulated entity must use to demonstrate compliance

under the federal CWA (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251

et. seq.

(2006)) and the federal SDWA (42 U.S.C.

§§ 300f

et seq.

(2006)). Among the provisions that USEPA amended were 40 C.F.R. 136.3,

136.4, 136.5, 136.6, 430.02, 455.50, Table 7 to 455, and 465.03, which set forth the methods for

use under CWA programs, and 40 C.F.R. 141.21, 141.23, 141.24, 141.25, 141.74, 143.4, which

set forth analytical methods for use under SDWA. Of the SDWA-related analytical provisions,

all the amendments relate to the NPDWRs except 40 C.F.R. 143.4, which relates to the National

Secondary Drinking Water Regulations. The amendments designate new methods as acceptable,

and they add updated versions of older methods as acceptable.

On June 3, 2008, USEPA used a new mechanism for approval of methods. Prior to that

action, USEPA approved and updated methods only by rulemaking. Under 1996 amendments to

Section 1401(1) of SDWA (42 U.S.C. § 300f(1) (2006);

see

Pub. L. 104-182, Sec. 101(a)(1)(B),

110 Stat. 1613, 1616 (Aug. 6, 1996)), USEPA can use a summary procedure for approving or

updating methods that are equivalent to methods that it has already approved by rulemaking.

This provision allows the approval and update of methods by guidelines published in the

Federal

Register

.

See

42 U.S.C. § 300f(1) (2006) (definition of “National Primary Drinking Water

Regulation”). USEPA chose to incorporate the guidelines directly into the NPDWRs by addition

---

7

of an appendix A to 40 C.F.R. 141. Many of the methods approved as equivalent by USEPA in

new appendix A are actually hard-copy published versions of methods previously only available

online in a digital format.

The Board updated the methods in the Illinois wastewater pretreatment and drinking

water regulations to correspond with the March 12, 2007 USEPA methods approval and update

and the June 3, 2008 USEPA designation of alternative methods. The Board has undertaken to

incorporate the federal changes as near in substance as possible, but has found it necessary to

deviate from the federal changes in some regards. Any person interested in the substance of the

USEPA actions should review the

Federal Register

notices of March 12, 2007 and June 3, 2008.

The following discussion only reviews the substance of the federal actions to the degree

necessary to incorporate the substance of the federal changes into the Illinois regulations.

Incorporation of the changes into the wastewater pretreatment rules involved updating

the version of the appropriate provisions from the

Code of Federal Regulations

that is

incorporated by reference in the Illinois provision. Updating the methods provisions in the

Illinois drinking water rules presented a small measure of difficulty, since the methods are

actually set forth in the Illinois rules.

The first area of difficulty with the amendments related to USEPA’s references to

methods available only in an electronic format. In the interests of rule clarity for the public as a

whole, the Board prefers to reference printed documents where those are available.

In its March 12, 2007 action, USEPA updated a number of methods from the standard

reference,

Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater

(

Standard Methods

)

to a more recent version of each method as available from Standard Methods Online

(www.standardmethods.org/store/), a website maintained by the Standard Methods

Organization.

1

The latest edition of the printed version of

Standard Methods

that USEPA cited

in the March 12, 2007 action was the 20th edition, published in 1998. The Standard Methods

Organization published the 21st edition of

Standard Methods

in 2005. Upon review of the

version dates of the methods cited by USEPA as available from Standard Methods Online, the

1

The Standard Methods Organization is a partnership of the American Water Works Association

(AWWA), the American Public Health Association (APHA), and the Water Environment

Federation. In Section 611.102, the Board cites the Standard Methods Organization members,

AWWA and APHA, as the sources of the printed version of the methods. The latest version and

the latest USEPA-approved version of each method is available for purchase in an electronic

(PDF) format from Standard Methods Online, as is the latest printed version of

Standard

Methods

. At some future time, with the advent of Standard Methods Online shifting the focus to

the Standard Methods Organization as the source of the methods, it may be more accurate for the

Board to amend Section 611.102 to cite the Standard Methods Organization as the source of both

electronic and printed versions of

Standard Methods

. The Board has not included such a change

in this proposal for public comment, but could include such changes in the adopted rules should

public comments in this docket strongly support the Board doing so. Otherwise, the Board might

include a proposal to make such changes in a future rulemaking proceeding.

---

8

Board noted that the version date of each of those methods was the same in the printed 21st

edition of

Standard Methods

. The Board cited to the

Standard Methods

21st edition, rather than

to the on-line version for each of those methods.

2

By the June 3, 2008 action, USEPA added the version of each method that appears in the

printed 21st edition of

Standard Methods

.

3

This supports the Board’s determination to cite to

the printed volume of the 21st edition for the methods. The Board did not cite to Standard

Methods Online for any of the methods cited by USEPA in its March 12, 2006 action.

4

The

Board added Board notes at each citation to a method from the 21st edition that explains that

USEPA cited to Standard Methods Online and the Board chose not to do so.

On June 3, 2008, however, USEPA did incorporate two methods from Standard Methods

Online that do not yet appear in any printed version of

Standard Methods

. These are the 2004

versions of Method 6610 B and Method 9230 B that the Standard Methods Organization did not

included in the 2005 printing of the

Standard Methods

21st edition. The Board did cite to

Standard Methods Online for those two methods.

The second area of difficulty related to two other new methods that the Board has had

difficulty locating, which has meant that the Board has struggled to obtain acceptable copies of

the methods. USEPA cites the first method as available from the Environmental Resources

Center, Georgia Institute of Technology, and it cites to the second method as available from the

Waters Corporation.

2

These methods included Method 2130, Method 2320, Method 2510, Method 2550, Method

3111, Method 3112, Method 3113, Method 3114, Method 3120, Method 3500-Ca, Method 3500-

Methods from Standard Methods Online that USEPA had previously approved on January 4,

2006 (at 71 Fed. Reg. 388) which also appeared in the 21st edition of the printed version

included Method 2130, Method 4500-Cl, Method 4500-ClO

2

, Method 4500-O

3

, Method 4500-I,

Method 5310, Method 6251, Method 9215, Method 9221, Method 9222, and Method 9223. The

Board adopted those federal amendments by reference to the printed volume of the 21st edition

in SDWA Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2006 though June 30, 2006), R07-2, and

SDWA Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2006 though December 31, 2006), R07-11 (July

26, 2007).

3

USEPA did add the 1999 version of Method 4500-P from Standard Methods Online, even

though this version of the method also appears in the printed 21st edition of

Standard Methods

,

which USEPA also cited.

4

This includes the methods previously adopted by USEPA on January 4, 2006 and by the Board

on July 26, 2007.

See infra

note 2.

Section 5-75 of the APA (5 ILCS 100/5-75 (2006)) requires that the Board fulfill certain

requirements to incorporate any document by reference. Two are of primary interest here. First,

the Board must provide the name and address of the source of the document, that an interested

person might obtain a copy. Second, the Board must maintain a copy of the document in one

principal office open for public review. 5 ILCS 100/5-75(a) and (c) (2006).

The difficulties encountered with the analytical methods from Georgia Institute of

Technology and Waters Corporation that USEPA approved on March 12, 2007 present problems

in this regard. The Board’s continued inability to sufficiently locate the methods and obtain

copies is serious enough that the Board may not be able to adopt the present amendment and

include those two methods.

The first method is entitled “The Determination of Radium-226 and Radium-228 in

Drinking Water by Gamma-ray Spectrometry Using HPGE or Ge(Li) Detectors,” Revision 1.2,

December 2004. It is a method for Radium-226 and Radium-228 by gamma ray spectrometry. It

allows analysis for both parameters with a single test, rather than requiring two separate

analyses. It was cited by USEPA as from the Environmental Resources Center at the Georgia

Institute of Technology. The Board could not locate the Environmental Resources Center.

However, the Board did find references to the method, and research disclosed that another entity

called the Water Resources Center at the Georgia Institute for Technology might be a successor

organization. The same person who ran the Environmental Resources Center heads the Water

Resources Center. Attempts to contact either entity have proven fruitless to date. Thus, the

Board can neither obtain the method nor accurately cite to the source of this method. The

inability to do either would preclude incorporation of this method by reference. Attempts to

obtain a copy of this method from USEPA have also proven fruitless to date.

The Board has included the method from the Environmental Resources Center in this

proposal for public comment, and the proposal lists the method as available from that source,

even though it is apparent that that entity no longer exists—at least under that name. The

method will be removed from the rules upon final adoption of these amendments if the Board

cannot obtain a copy of the method.

The Board has also had difficulty locating the second method, cited by USEPA as

available from the Waters Corporation, but for different reasons. The federal amendments to 40

C.F.R. 141.23(k)(1) add method “D6508, Rev. 2,” noting that it is entitled “Test Method for

Determination of Dissolved Inorganic Anions in Aqueous Matrices Using Capillary Ion

Electrophoresis and Chromate Electrolyte,” and that it is available from the Waters Corporation.

Attempts to obtain a useable method from the Waters Corporation, however, proved fruitless.

5

USEPA sent a copy of the method from its rulemaking docket. That copy bore at its top a date

and method designation in annotations that indicated USEPA’s review and approval of the

5

The Waters Corporation sent a method number 6500, entitled “Dissolved Inorganic Anions in

Aqueous Matrices by Capillary Ion Electrophoresis,” which on examination is actually the 2007

version of Method 6500 from “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical

Methods,” familiarly known as “SW-846.”

See

PC 1.

method. Those annotations indicate that the method is ASTM Method D6508, revision 2, dated

December 2000. Examination of ASTM methods indicates that the latest version of ASTM

Method D6508 is revision 2, dated 2005. ASTM designates this method as “ASTM D6508-

00(2005)e2” by ASTM, with “00” designating that the method was approved in 2000, and

“(2005)e2” indicating revision 2 made in 2005. This 2005 revision appears to be the same as the

method designated by USEPA as Waters Method D6508, revision 2.

The Board has included ASTM Method D6508-00(2005)e2 in place of what USEPA has

called Waters Method D6508, revision 2 in this proposal for public comment. It is worthy of

note, however, that USEPA has cautioned that it has not yet determined that the ASTM method

is equivalent to the Waters method. A determination by USEPA that the Board included a

method that is not approved by USEPA would result in USEPA’s disapproval of the Illinois

rules. USEPA has suggested that the Board’s decision not to include Waters Method D6508,

revision 2 would present no problems. PC 2.

A final area that warrants specific discussion in this segment of the opinion relates to the

USEPA-approved alternative methods. USEPA used a limited, summary procedure to adopt the

list of equivalent methods. June 3, 2008 was USEPA’s first use of that procedure. While

USEPA approved all prior methods by rulemaking, USEPA is authorized to approve equivalent

methods by this summary procedure. While the Board can perceive a difference between a

determination that a method is adequate for use and a determination that another method is an

equivalent to a method that is approved for use, the Board believes that this is a distinction

without a difference from the perspective of a person seeking guidance from the regulations as to

how to comply with the requirements. For this reason, the Board chose to include the alternative

methods together with the approved methods in the text of the rules. The Board did not add an

equivalent to appendix A. Thus, the listing of methods approved for use for analysis of any

particular chemical species appears together in a single listing.

The tables that appear beginning on page 20 of this opinion list and briefly describe the

deviations from the literal text of the federal rules and the changes made in the existing text of

the Illinois rules that were not derived from federal amendments. The Board requests public

comment on the incorporation of the March 12, 2007 USEPA CWA and SDWA methods

revisions and the June 3, 2008 approval of alternative drinking water methods into the Illinois

wastewater pretreatment and drinking water regulations. In particular, the Board requests

comments on the proposed handling of specific analytical methods, as follows:

1.

Is there any reason the Board should include references to Standard Methods

Online, where the same version of the Standard Method is available in the printed

21st edition of

Standard Methods

, considering that a Board note appended to the

incorporation of

Standard Methods

cites to Standard Methods Online for purchase

of individual methods?

2.

Can USEPA, the Agency, or anyone in the regulated community provide the

Board with a copy of the method entitled “The Determination of Radium-226 and

Radium-228 in Drinking Water by Gamma-ray Spectrometry Using HPGE or

---

11

Ge(Li) Detectors,” Revision 1.2, December 2004, cited by USEPA as available

from the Environmental Resources Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology?

3.

Can USEPA, the Agency, or anyone in the regulated community provide the

Board with a copy of Waters Method D6508, revision 2, entitled “Test Method

for Determination of Dissolved Inorganic Anions in Aqueous Matrices Using

Capillary Ion Electrophoresis and Chromate Electrolyte,” cited by USEPA as

available from Waters Corporation?

4.

Can or should the Board substitute the easily located method ASTM D6508-

00(2005)e2 in place of the Method cited as Waters Method D6508, revision 2 by

USEPA, which the Board could not locate from the listed source?

5.

Did the Board take an acceptable approach to the approved equivalent methods,

which USEPA codified as appendix A to 40 C.F.R. 141, by combining them with

the methods that USEPA approved by rulemaking within the text of the

regulations?

Revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule--Sections 611.350, 611.351, 611.353, 611.354,

611.355, 611.356, 611.357, 611.358, 611.359, and 611.884

USEPA revised the Lead and Copper Rule on October 10, 2007 (at 72 Fed. Reg. 57782).

The Lead and Copper Rule, codified as subpart I of 40 C.F.R. 141, sets forth a standard for the

control of lead in drinking water. Lead is a unique drinking water contaminant in that it enters

the water after the finished water has left the water treatment process, as the water travels

through the distribution system and to the consumer’s tap. Some of the lead leaches from lead

service lines, where the consumer’s plumbing connects to the distribution system, and some

leaches from brass plumbing fixtures and lead-soldered copper plumbing in the consumers’

homes.

6

Thus, the emphasis in the Lead and Copper Rule is not an absolute maximum

contaminant level, as measured at an entry point to the water distribution system, but on lead and

copper action levels and their frequency of exceedance at the consumers’ taps. The

consequences of exceeding the lead or copper action level include implementation of public

notice and public education requirements, treatment process requirements intended to make the

distributed water leach less lead from the service lines and plumbing, and requirements for

replacement of lead service lines by the supplier of drinking water.

USEPA stated that its amendments made seven targeted changes relating to monitoring,

treatment processes, public education, consumer awareness, and lead service line replacement.

6

Federal law has prohibited the use of lead pipes and leaded solder in public water supply

systems and building plumbing systems only since 1986, with limited exceptions.

See

42 U.S.C.

§§ 300g-6(a)(1) (2006); 40 C.F.R. 141.43(a)(1) (2007). It has prohibited the distribution and

installation of plumbing fixtures, pipe, solder, or other plumbing items that are not lead free only

since 1996.

See

42 U.S.C. §§ 300g-6(a)(3) (2006);

see also

42 U.S.C. §§ 300g-6(d) (defining

“lead free”); 40 C.F.R. 141.43(a)(3) (2007).

---

12

The amendments included (1) clarification of the definitions of “compliance period” and

“monitoring period”; (2) clarification that the minimum number of samples that a small-system

supplier must collect is five; (3) a change that would not allow a supplier to commence or

continue a reduced monitoring schedule if it exceeds the lead action level; (4) addition of a

requirement that a supplier must obtain prior state approval before it uses a new source of raw

water or makes a change in its treatment that would have a long-term effect on water quality; (5)

addition of a requirement that the supplier provide a notice that states the tap water sampling

results and information to help understand the significance of those results to the person whose

tap the sample was taken; (6) revisions to the public notice content and delivery requirements;

and (7) addition of a requirement that a supplier reevaluate lead service lines previously

classified as “replaced through testing” when it is required to resume a lead service line

replacement program.

The Board incorporated the October 10, 2007 revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule into

the Illinois regulations without substantive deviation. Only one series of the revisions made by

the Board warrants specific discussion in this opinion. That pertains to how the Board has

provided for the Agency to approve or disapprove of actions of a supplier.

Use of SEPs for Agency Approval of Public Education Materials.

Where State

approval is required for activities under the Lead and Copper Rule, the Board has made the

Agency responsible for those determinations. The Board has drafted the rules to specify the

Special Exception Permit (SEP) of Section 611.110 as the means by which the Agency is to

render its approvals. The mechanism of the SEP provides a defined context for Agency

determinations in writing, and it provides for Board review of Agency determinations where a

supplier believes that such review is necessary.

See

35 Ill. Adm. Code 611.110(a) and (c)

(2006); 415 ILCS 5/39(a) and 40 (2006).

One application of the SEP in this proceeding is unusual. That is the SEP’s use in

Section 611.355(a)(1) (corresponding with 40 C.F.R. 141.85(a)(1)) for the Agency to submit its

corrections to the supplier if the Agency determines that the language of the supplier’s public

education materials is inadequate. The USEPA rule requires the supplier to submit its public

education materials to the state prior to distributing them to its consumers. It allows, but does

not require, the state to approve of those materials prior to distribution. The Board’s proposal

includes the federal requirement that the supplier submit its public education materials to the

Agency prior to publication of those materials.

The Board has had to weigh various options to determine whether to provide for prior

State approval of materials before their distribution and how to provide for such prior approvals.

The Board has explored USEPA’s purposes behind its provision allowing states to require prior

approval of public education materials before their distribution. The revised rule allows the

supplier to tailor its public education materials to individual community needs.

See

72 Fed. Reg.

57782, 57790-91 (Oct. 10, 2007). This new flexibility in the language of the public education

materials gave rise to the need for state review of public education materials before their

distribution. State approval before distribution of those materials would assure their quality.

Further, USEPA prefers more rapid distribution of the public education materials, in order to

reduce exposures to lead.

See

72 Fed. Reg. 57782, 57791, 57794 (Oct. 10, 2007). Thus, the

---

13

Board must draft the requirement for submission of public education materials to the Agency for

review so that the Agency review assures the quality of the materials and so that the Agency

review delays distribution no more time than is necessary for such a review.

The SEP is the mechanism that the Board has written into several provisions of the

drinking water regulations to provide for an Agency determination whenever such a

determination is required under the corresponding federal rule. The SEP is well suited to a

situation where affirmative State approval is required before a supplier may act in some regard.

This is the ordinary situation in which the mechanism of the SEP appears in the rules. However,

in the context of the Section 611.255(a)(1) provision for State review of the public education

materials, options exist for drafting the rule that would require written action by the State only

for disapproval.

Once the supplier has submitted its public education materials to the Agency prior to

distribution, the Board has options as to how it will address State review of the materials before

their publication. First, the Board could make no provision for Agency approval or disapproval

of the public education materials before the supplier distributes them. As a second option, the

Board could refrain from requiring Agency approval prior to distribution, but require that the

supplier distribute corrected public education materials if the Agency, by a SEP, makes a

determination that the information submitted was inadequate and requires distribution of

corrected materials. A third option is that the Board could require submission to the Agency for

review, requiring that the Agency approve the materials before the supplier may distribute the

materials. The fourth option is for the Board to require submission to the Agency, then to allow

the Agency an opportunity to disapprove the distribution before it could begin. The fourth

option would allow the Agency the option of not acting on prospective distributions of public

education materials unless it determines that there is a problem with a particular distribution.

The Board disfavors the first option of not providing for Agency review that could affect

the content of public education materials disseminated in Illinois. The advantage of this

approach is that it would allow the most rapid distribution of the materials to the public, since

there would be no time lost for prior Agency review. However, the Board believes that the

purpose for mandatory submission of the public education materials to the State is to accord the

State an opportunity to review those materials. The Board believes that Agency review would

only be meaningful if it would allow the Agency the opportunity to edit, if necessary, the content

of the public information materials presented by the supplier. Inherent to this is that significant

Agency review would also give the Agency an opportunity to prevent the dissemination of

information that it deems inappropriate. The Board opted away from this first approach in the

proposal for public comment for both of these reasons.

The Board similarly disfavors the second option of allowing the Agency an opportunity

to require a second distribution of corrected public education materials if it determines that an

initial distribution was somehow defective. Under this second option, a requirement that the

supplier include the Agency in its distribution or a requirement that the supplier submit the

materials to the Agency within some short time after dissemination would have equal utility.

Like the first option, this would allow the most rapid distribution of the information to the

---

14

public. The problem is that this option would render meaningless the federal requirement that

the supplier submit its materials to the State prior to dissemination.

The purpose behind the federal requirement of submission to the State prior to

dissemination would be to provide an opportunity for the State to review the public education

materials prior to distribution. Providing for an Agency review that would only allow the

Agency to require re-distribution of corrected materials would have two significant

disadvantages: (1) it would involve the wasted expense, time, and resources of the defective

distribution, and (2) it would increase the opportunity for public misinformation and confusion

by the distribution of two sets of information, one of which was defective. Thus, this second

option would give the Agency the opportunity to assure the dissemination of information that it

deems acceptable, but it would not give the Agency the opportunity to prevent the distribution of

information that it determines is defective. The Board opted against this second option for these

reasons.

Elimination of the first two options would leave only the third and fourth options. Each

of those two options would provide meaningful opportunity for Agency review prior to the

supplier distributing its public education materials. Each would sacrifice time in the distribution

to the public in favor of the opportunity for the Agency to assure the quality and accuracy of the

information distributed. Under the third option, the supplier must wait for prior State approval

before it distributes the information. Under the fourth option, the supplier must wait a sufficient

time to allow the Agency to object to the content before its distribution. The Board can foresee

benefits and drawbacks associated with each of the third and fourth options, and the Board must

select between them based on the balancing of those benefits and drawbacks.

The third option would require express Agency approval of each distribution of public

education materials. This would have the benefits of assuring that the Agency has reviewed and

approved of every distribution before it occurs. Requiring express approval would eliminate any

ambiguity, and it would give suppliers the assurance that the Agency has approved whatever

they have distributed. On the other hand, there are significant drawbacks if the supplier must

wait for Agency approval before it distributes its public education materials. First, using this

option would require the Agency to render a formal determination for each distribution of public

education materials by every community water supply in the State.

7

This would impose the

greatest burden on Agency resources of all four options. This option would lengthen the

distribution process by the time it would take for the Agency to review and approve.

8

7

Formerly, only suppliers that detected lead above the action level were required to distribute

public education materials. Now the requirement extends to all community water supplies

without regard to whether a supplier exceeded the action level.

See

72 Fed. Reg. 57782, 57794

(Oct. 10, 2007). This would increase the number of public education distributions required.

8

This might require additional time for subsequent review and approval should the Agency

disapprove of the materials submitted, depending on how the Agency presents its disapproval

and how the supplier receives that disapproval. Agency disapproval would take the least time if

the Agency cites specific deficiencies and suggests corrections in its disapproval, and the

---

15

The fourth option, rather than requiring prior Agency approval before distribution of

public education materials, would allow the Agency an opportunity to require correction of the

materials before their distribution. Option four would have to allow whatever period of time is

reasonable for the Agency to review and disapprove the materials before distribution could

occur. This option would allow the Agency the freedom to render implicit approval to public

information materials through its own inaction, thus affording the Agency more discretion as to

how it commits its resources. It would nevertheless still give the Agency the opportunity to

assure the quality of the public education materials distributed in Illinois. There is a greater

burden in generating a written response to every set of materials after review, as under the third

option, than there is in reviewing every set but preparing a formal response only when the

Agency determines that there is a deficiency, as under the fourth option. Under option four, after

the time provided for Agency review has run, the Agency would no longer be able to disapprove

the materials, since its implicit approval would have been deemed by the rule.

The balance between the third and fourth options then hinges on the amount of time each

option would delay the distribution of public education materials, their relative commitments of

Agency resources, and the degree of certainty or uncertainty that would be associated with each.

The choice between the third and fourth options is difficult for the Board, and the Board may

change its choice upon final adoption, after the benefit of any public comments received.

Nevertheless, the Board has opted for the fourth option in this proposal for public comment. The

Board believes that providing the Agency with an opportunity to review and disapprove public

education materials before distribution is protective and less burdensome than requiring Agency

written approval of each set of public education materials prior to their distribution.

The Board has drafted Section 611.355(a)(1) to require a supplier to submit its public

education materials to the Agency before it distributes them, as required by 40 C.F.R.

141.85(a)(1). Since the Board believes that USEPA intended that the State conduct a meaningful

review that ensures the quality and content of the public education materials, the Board has

provided for Agency review before their distribution. The option for Agency review that the

Board has selected requires the Agency to act in an affirmative way by issuing a determination in

the form of a SEP only when it determines that there is a deficiency in the materials. However,

in order to allow the Agency to opt for prompt approval, the rule allows the Agency to issue a

SEP that approves the materials, and the supplier can immediately distribute them. If the

Agency does not issue a SEP within the time prescribed in the rule, Agency assent is implied

under the rule, and the supplier may distribute the materials. If the Agency issues a SEP, that

SEP must describe the deficiencies in a way that enables the supplier to correct the deficiencies

and distribute the materials as corrected. Of course, as provided by the SEP provision, at Section

611.110(c), the supplier has the option of appealing the Agency determination to the Board.

As included in this proposal for public comment, the procedure for Agency review of

public education materials includes seven separate segments. To include all of the segments in

Section 611.355(a)(1) would have required presenting all seven segments in a single subsection

at new subsection (a)(3). The Board chose to move the procedure, so that it could appear in a

supplier immediately incorporates the Agency suggestions into the materials.

---

16

series of seven separate subsections for enhanced clarity. As drafted by the Board for the

purposes of this proposal for public comment, Section 611.355(a)(3) provides a procedure for

submission of public education materials to the Agency, for Agency disapproval of those

materials in a SEP, for supplier response to an Agency-issued disapproval in the form of a SEP,

and for the timing of distribution of the materials. The provisions included in this proposal for

public comment could change upon final adoption in response to public comments. The

procedure set forth in the proposed version of this provision provides as follows:

1.

The supplier must submit its public education materials to the Agency no later

than 60 days prior to the date on which it plans to distribute them.

2.

The Agency may issue a SEP that approves the public education materials, so that

the supplier can immediately distribute them. This would allow quick distribution

without waiting where the Agency wishes to concur with the supplier and allow

this to happen.

3.

The Agency has 30 days after the date it received public education materials from

a supplier within which it may review those materials and issue a SEP that

notifies the supplier of the deficiencies and which describes the deficiencies in

sufficient detail to allow the supplier to correct its public education materials to

the satisfaction of the Agency.

4.

If the supplier has not received a SEP from the Agency that describes the

deficiencies as noted above within 45 days after the date on which it submitted its

public education materials to the Agency, the materials are deemed approved, and

the supplier may distribute them as scheduled.

5.

If the Agency issues a SEP that describes the deficiencies as noted above, the

supplier must make all changes exactly as described in the SEP before it

distributes its public education materials.

6.

If the Agency changes its position with regard to any of the deficiencies described

in the SEP, it may issue a revised SEP that expressly supersedes the previous

SEP, and the supplier must make all changes exactly as described in the revised

SEP before it distributes its public education materials.

7.

The Agency must issue a SEP or a revised SEP within 30 days after the date when

the Agency received the original public education materials from the supplier,

except where the Agency and the supplier have agreed that the Agency need issue

a SEP or revised SEP by a later date. Where the supplier and the Agency have

agreed that the Agency need issue a SEP or revised SEP by a later date, the

Agency must do so within the agreed time.

The purpose for allowing the Agency and the supplier to agree to a later time for issuance

of a SEP and for allowing the Agency to issue a revised SEP is to allow for negotiation or dialog

relating to the contents of the supplier’s public education materials. The Board believes that

---

17

allowing the Agency and the supplier to take more time to derive consensus would be more

efficient and less time-consuming than providing for a cycle of sequential submissions and

reviews. The object of the Agency review provision is the timeliest distribution of the most

effective public education materials. This result requires a balance between the time needed to

assure reasonable accuracy and the accuracy possible within a reasonable time. The Board

believes that allowing the Agency and the supplier the flexibility to conduct a dialog and to

reach a mutual consensus facilitates this end.

The tables that appear beginning on page 20 of this opinion list and briefly describe the

deviations from the literal text of the federal rules and the changes made in the existing text of

the Illinois rules that were not derived from federal amendments. The Board requests public

comment on the incorporation of the USEPA October 10, 2007 amendments to the Lead and

Copper Rule into the Illinois drinking water regulations. Specifically, the Board requests public

comment on the Section 611.355(a)(1) provision for Agency review of suppliers’ public

education materials.

1.

Is requiring written Agency action only where the Agency determines that

deficiencies exist the best option for Agency review of the materials?

2.

Is the provision that deems the materials approved and which allows the supplier

to proceed and distribute the materials in the absence of an Agency response

workable?

3.

Do the times required for submission to the Agency and provided for Agency

review work for the purpose?

4.

Does the provision that requires the Agency to describe the deficiencies it has

found appear adequate and workable to assure that the supplier is given a clear

indication of those deficiencies?

5.

Does the requirement that allows the supplier to proceed and distribute its

materials after it has addressed the Agency-determined deficiencies appear

adequate and workable to assure that the Agency concerns are addressed and that

publication occurs as rapidly as possible?

6.

Is it necessary to set forth express provisions for Agency issuance of a revised

SEP, and does such an express provision provide for the timeliest resolution of

any issues that might arise in the course of Agency review of a supplier’s public

education materials?

General Revisions and Deviations from the Federal Text

In incorporating the federal rules into the Illinois system, some deviation from the federal

text is unavoidable. This deviation arises primarily through differences between the federal and

state regulatory structure and systems. Some deviation also arises through errors in and

problems with the federal text itself. The Board conforms the federal text to the Illinois rules

---

18

and regulatory scheme and corrects errors found in the text in the course of these routine update

rulemakings.

In addition to the amendments derived from federal amendments, the Board often finds it

necessary to alter the text of various passages of the existing rules as provisions are opened for

update in response to USEPA actions. This involves correcting deficiencies, clarifying

provisions, and making other changes that are necessary to establish a clear set of rules that

closely parallel the corresponding federal requirements within the codification scheme of the

Illinois Administrative Code.

The Board updates the citations to the Code of Federal Regulations to the most recent

version available. As discussed above, the most recent versions of the Code of Federal

Regulations available to the Board is the July 1, 2005 edition for USEPA regulations (Title 40).

Thus, the Board has updated all citations to Title 40 to the 2006 edition of the Code of Federal

Regulations, adding references to later amendments using their appropriate Federal Register

citation, where necessary.

The Board substituted “or” for “/” in most instances where this appeared in the federal

base text, using “and” where more appropriate. The Board further used this opportunity to make

a number of corrections to punctuation, grammar, spelling, and cross-reference format

throughout the opened text. We changed “who” to “that” and “he” or “she” to “it,” where the

person to which the regulation referred was not necessarily a natural person, or to “he or she,”

where a natural person was evident; changed “which” to “that” for restrictive relative clauses;

substituted “must” for “shall”; capitalized the section headings and corrected their format where

necessary; and corrected punctuation within sentences.

In addition, the federal rules have been edited to establish a uniform usage throughout the

Board’s regulations. For example, with respect to “shall,” “will,” and “may,” “must” is used

when an action is required by the rule, without regard to whether the action is required of the

subject of the sentence or not. “Shall” is no longer used, since it is not used in everyday

language. Thus, where a federal rule uses “shall,” the Board substitutes “must.” This is a break

from our former practice where “shall” was used when the subject of a sentence has a duty to do

something. “Will” is used when the Board obliges itself to do something. “May” is used when

choice of a provision is optional. “Or” is used rather than “and/or,” and denotes “one or both.”

“Either . . . or” denotes “one but not both.” “And” denotes “both.”

The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules has requested that the Board refer to the

United States Environmental Protection Agency in the same manner throughout all of our bodies

of regulations—

i.e.

, air, water, drinking water, RCRA Subtitle D (municipal solid waste

landfill), RCRA Subtitle C (hazardous waste), underground injection control (UIC), etc. The

Board has decided to refer to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as “USEPA.”

The Board will continue this conversion in future rulemakings as additional sections become

open to amendment. The Board will further convert “EPA” used in federal text to “USEPA,”

where USEPA is clearly intended.

---

19

The Board has assembled tables to aid in the location of these alterations and to briefly

outline their intended purpose. Table 1 sets forth the miscellaneous deviations from the federal

text, and Table 2 itemizes the corrections to the pre-amended base text of the rules in detail.

Table 1 begins on page 20 of this opinion, and Table 2 begins on page 53. There is no further

discussion of most of the deviations and revisions elsewhere in this opinion.

Discussion of Corrective Amendments

The Board has traditionally used the occasion of these identical-in-substance updates to

correct segments of the base text of the Illinois regulations. These corrections are non-

substantive in effect. The Board is including a number of non-substantive corrections in this

docket.

When a necessary minor correction comes to the attention of the Board, Board staff

makes a note of the correction, and set it aside until the next opportunity to make the correction.

The next opportunity generally presents itself when the section involved is next opened for

amendment as a result of amendments to the corresponding federal text. The Board has

cataloged a small number of changes since the last SDWA update docket, SDWA Update,

USEPA Regulations (January 1, 2006 though June 30, 2006), R07-2, and SDWA Update,

USEPA Regulations (July 1, 2006 though December 31, 2006), R07-11 (July 26, 2007).

The Board will not discuss the bulk of the particular corrective amendments in this

segment of this discussion. Only one warrants specific discussion. That discussion follows this

paragraph. The corrections are itemized in the Table 1, which begins on page 20 of this opinion.

The Board requests that the Agency, JCAR, and the regulated community review the table and

the text of the corrections. The Board requests comment on the corrections. The Board also

asks for the assistance of the Agency, JCAR, and the regulated community in the process of

spotting and correcting errors or omissions in the rules. The Board requests that interested

persons submit suggestions for the correction of any errors of which they become aware. The

Board will either include the corrections in this docket or catalog them for future revisions, if the

suggestions relate to segments of the text that are not already involved in this proceeding and the

Board cannot add them.

Tabulation of Miscellaneous Housekeeping Amendments

The tables below list numerous corrections and amendments that are not based on current

federal amendments. The first table (which begins immediately below) includes deviations made

in this Proposal for Public Comment from the verbatim text of the federal amendments. The

second table (which begins immediately after Table 1, on page 53 below) contains corrections

and clarifications that the Board made in the base text involved in this proposal. The

amendments listed in this second table are not directly derived from the current federal

amendments. Some of the entries in these tables are discussed further in appropriate segments of

the general discussion beginning at page 6 of this opinion.
