    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    Section 22.4(d) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.4(d) (2006))
    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 (2006). Specifically,
    Section 22.4(d) relates to underground storage tank (UST) regulations promulgated by the
    USEPA pursuant to Section 9003 of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
    1976 (RCRA) (42 U.S.C. §§ 6991b (2005)) to implement Subtitle I of RCRA (42 U.S.C. §§ 6991
    et seq
    . (2005)), with certain limitations. USEPA has codified its UST regulations at 40 C.F.R.
    280 through 282.
    The Board reserved this docket for any UST amendments adopted by USEPA between
    July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. During that time period, USEPA did not amend 40
    C.F.R. 280, 281, or 282 in any way that would require Board action. Therefore, no action is
    necessary, and the Board dismisses this docket.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, John T. Therriault, Assistant Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that
    the Board adopted the above order on February 19, 2009, by a vote of 5-0.
