    Proposed Rule. Dismissal Order.
    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 (2006)) 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
    (2006). 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)
    (2006)). 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, 2008 through December 31, 2008. During that time period, USEPA did not amend any
    wastewater pretreatment aspects of 40 C.F.R. 400 through 499. 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.
