In County of Kankakee, Illinois,

v. Hon. William E. Holdridge

, No. 107422 (Mar. 25, 2009), Illinois

Supreme Court In a Second Supervisory Order Directs Third District Appellate Court to Vacate October 10,

2008 Summary Order in Siting Appeal Known as "Town & Country II"

County of Kankakee, Illinois,

Edward D. Smith, Kankakee County State’s Attorney, Byron Sandburg and Waste Management of Illinois,

Inc. v. Illinois Pollution Control Board, City of Kankakee, Illinois, Kankakee Regional Landfill, LLC and

Town & Country Utilities, Inc., Nos. 3-04-02713-04-02853-04-0289 (cons.) (3rd Dist. Oct. 10, 2008) (affirming

Board’s order affirming grant of siting approval in PCB 04-33, 34, 35 (Mar. 18, 2004))

The Illinois Supreme Court issued a supervisory order March 26, 2009 in County of Kankakee, Illinois.

Hon. William E. Holdrige

., No. 107422 (Mar. 25, 2009). The supervisory order, the second in the same

underlying case, was issued in the course of the denial of a petition for leave to appeal filed by Waste Management

of Illinois, Inc. in response to the Third District Appellate Court's October 10, 2008 summary order affirming the

Board's decision in the case known as "Town & Country II"

County of Kankakee, Illinois, Edward D. Smith,

Kankakee County State’s Attorney, Byron Sandburg and Waste Management of Illinois, Inc. v. Illinois Pollution

Control Board, City of Kankakee, Illinois, Kankakee Regional Landfill, LLC and Town & Country Utilities, Inc.,

Nos. 3-04-02713-04-02853-04-0289 (cons.) (3rd Dist.Oct.10, 2008) (affirming Board’s order affirming grant of

siting approval in PCB 04-33, 34, 35 (Mar. 18, 2004). The Third District’s October 10, 2008 summary order under

Supreme Court Rule 23 (166 Ill. Ed. R.23) upholds the siting approval granted by the Kankakee City Council in

response to Town & Country's second siting application in 2003. The court issued the summary order following the

Supreme Court’s first supervisory order issued June 5, 2008 requiring the court to reconsider the April 24, 2008

Rule 23 order affirming the Board’s order. The Third District had issued the April 24 order following rehearing

requested by the parties of the court’s original November 17, 2006 order reversing the Board. County of Kankakee,

Illinois, Edward D. Smith, Kankakee County State’s Attorney, Byron Sandburg and Waste Management of Illinois,

Inc. v. Illinois Pollution Control Board, City of Kankakee, Illinois, Kankakee Regional Landfill, LLC and Town &

Country Utilities, Inc., Nos. 3-04-02713-04-02853-04-0289 (cons.) (3rd Dist. Nov. 17, 2006).

The prior history of the Town & Country II

has been reported in these pages in detail.

See, e.g., Environmental

No. 652 at pp.5-7 (Oct. 2008), No. 648 at p. 4 (June. 2008), No. 646 at pp. 6-9 (Apr. 2008) and No. 633 at

pp. 2-9 (Mar. 2007). That detail will not be repeated here.

In its March 26, 2008 supervisory order, the Illinois Supreme Court first recited, in three paragraphs, the history of

prior decisions in this matter. The Supreme Court first denied the petition for leave to appeal. The Supreme Court

then issued its second supervisory instructions, directing the Third District to vacate the October 10, 2008

“summary order.” Specifically, the Supreme Court’s concluding paragraph instructed as follows:

The appellate court is directed to reconsider its decision. The appellate court should first determine

whether the first siting application was disapproved within the meaning of 415 ILCS 5/ 39.2(m). If it

determines that it was, the appellate court should next consider the effect of the Board’s failure to consider

the [Section 39.2 (m)] substantial similarity issue. In other words, the appellate court will determine if a

remand to the Board is required or if that issue may be decided in the first instance on appeal. If it

determines that the issue may be decided in the first instance on appeal, the appellate court will properly

consider the parties’ remaining issues on appeal. The appellate court’s decision will not

order pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 23(c) (166 Ill. 2d. R. 23 (c)), but shall be either by opinion pursuant

to Supreme Court Rule 23(a) (166 Ill. 2d. R. 23 (a)) or by written order pursuant to Supreme Court Rule

23(b) (166 Ill. 2d. R. 23 (b)). The appellate court will not

be flippant in its decision, but will act with the

utmost decorum and give the issues the attention and consideration they deserve. The appellate court will

address the issues thoroughly

and completely. As part of its consideration of each issue, the appellate court

will set out the parties’ arguments, the governing law, and the standard of review. If the current panel of

Environmental Register – March 2009

justices is incapable of complying, or unwilling to comply, with this supervisory order, the cause should be

assigned to another panel. Failure to comply with this supervisory order in all respects will result in the

appellate court’s decision being summarily vacated and the cause remanded to a different panel of judges.

The parties are currently awaiting further action by the Third District Appellate Court.

Rulemaking Update

Board Dismisses Identical in Substance Rulemaking Docket As Unnecessary: Definition of VOM Update,

USEPA amendments (July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008), R09-12

Every six months the Board reserves a series of dockets for adoption of Board rules under Section 7.2 of the

Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 (2006)) “identical in substance” to any rules adopted by the

United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to implement various programs. On March 5, 2009, the

Board dismissed as unnecessary the following docket reserved to consider rules adopted by the USEPA during the

period of July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. In the program area described below, USEPA adopted no rules

during the update period:

Definition of VOM (R09-12)

Section 9.1(e) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/9.1(e)(2006)) requires the Board to adopt

regulations that are “identical in substance” to regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA). Specifically, Section 9.1(e) relates to the definition of “volatile organic material” (VOM) and those

compounds that USEPA has found to be exempted from regulation under state implementation plans for ozone due

to negligible photochemical reactivity. USEPA has codified these exemptions as par t of its definitions at 40 C.F.R.

Copies of the Board’s dismissal order may be obtained by calling the Clerk’s office at 312-814-3620, or by

downloading copies from the Board’s Website at www.ipcb.state.il.us.

Board Adopts Second Notice Order in Proposed New 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 223 Standards and Limitations

for Organic Material Emissions for Area Sources (R08-17)

On March 19, 2009, the Board adopted for second notice a proposal amending its air pollution regulations.

Proposed New 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 223 Standards and Limitations for Organic Material Emissions for Area

Sources, R08-17. With the exception of extending the implementation date from January 1 to July 1, 2009, these

proposed second-notice amendments are substantively unchanged from those proposed in the Board’s October 16,

2008 first notice opinion and order. The Board will submit the second notice proposal to the Joint Committee on

Administrative Rules (JCAR) for review and possible consideration at JCAR’s April 21, 2009 meeting.

The proposal is based on the January 2, 2008 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) rulemaking

proposal to reduce volatile organic material (VOM) emissions from consumer and commercial products,

architectural and industrial maintenance products, and aerosol coatings. The Board held hearings on the proposal in

Springfield and Chicago, respectively, on April 30 and June 4, 2008.

Copies of the Board’s and hearing officer’s orders may be obtained by calling the Clerk’s office at 312-814-3620,

or by downloading copies from the Board’s Website at www.ipcb.state.il.us.
