ILLINOIS EPA’S POST-HEARING
DOCUMENT SUBMITTAL
NOW COMES the ILLINOIS ENVfRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
AGENCY
(“Illinois EPA”), by
and through
one of its attorneys, Joey Logan-Wilkey,
and pursuant
to the
Illinois Pollution Control Board’s
(“Board”) requests for information during the
November 3, 2008, hearing, and in response to the November
6,
2008,
Hearing Officer
Order,
provides the following:
1.
The
ambient
water quality monitoring and intensive basin
survey data for
total
boron within Sugar Creek, segment
EOA-0l, from 1999-2007, is
attached
hereto
as Table 1. The Illinois EPA maintains
sampling station
EOA-0l on Sugar Creek at
Route
29.
This station is approximately one
mile
below
CWLP’s Outfall 004. The stream
segment represented by this
sampling station is listed
as impaired for aquatic life
uses on the draft
2008 Illinois Integrated
Water Quality Report and Section
3 03(d) List
(“303(d) List”). The
listed causes of impairment are
boron, dissolved
oxygen,
total
phosphorus,
and
total suspended
solids
The
adjusted
standard in
effect for
this
section
of Sugar
Creek
is 11
mg/L.
2.
The
ambient
water
quality
monitoring
and
intensive
basin suey
data
for
total boron
within
the Sangamon
River,
segment E-26,
from 1999-2007,
is
attached hereto
as Table
2.
The Illinois
EPA
maintains
sampling
station
E-26
on the Sangamon
River at
Old Route
36 west
of
Riverton.
This
station
is below
the confluence
of the
South Fork
of
the
Sangamon
River
with the
Sangamon
River and
therefore
is the first
sampling
station
on
the
Sangamon
that is
influenced
by the existing
CWLP
discharge.
Station
E
26
is
approximately
8.7
miles
downstream
from
CWLP Outfall
004. The
stream
segment
represented
by this
sampling
station is
impaired
for
aquatic
life, fish consumption,
and
primary contact
uses
on the draft
2008
3
03(d) List.
The listed
causes
of impairment
are boron,
total phosphorus,
silver,
total suspended
solids,
PBCs,
and fecal
coliform.
Boron
has
been
inappropriately
listed
as a
cause of impairment
on the
partially
approved
2008
303(d)
List,
as
no
sample
has exceeded
the
adjusted
standard
in
this
stream
segment.
Steps
are
being taken
to remove
this parameter
as a
cause
of
impairment
from the
partially
approved
303(d)
List. Table
2 gives
the
boron measurements
at this station
since 1999.
The
adjusted
standard
for
boron
in
this
segment
is 2.0
mg/L.
3.
Discharge
Monitoring
Report
(DMR)
data
for
CWLP
Outfall
004 from
January
2002
through September
2008 is attached
hereto
as Table
3. This
is
the outfall
for which
the Board
granted previous
relief
in the form
of an
2
adjusted
standard of 11 mg/L for boron. The
data submitted by CWLP in
the DMRs
shows violations
of
the adjusted standard for
boron
in
the
NPDES
permit. The Illinois EPA accepted a Compliance
Commitment
Agreement
from CWLP regarding the violations on
April 13, 2004, and
granted an
extension of the CCA on October 19, 2006.
