Board Proposes Clean Air Act “Fast-Track” Amendments for Second Notice
On April 6, 2023, the Board adopted an opinion and order proposing amendments to its air pollution rules for second-notice review by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The amendments would remove provisions that allow the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to grant emission sources advance permission to continue operating during a malfunction or violate emission standards during startup. Under these provisions, compliance with IEPA’s advance permission is a prima facie defense to an enforcement action. The United States Environment Protection Agency found these provisions to be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act.
