June 19, 2003 - On June 19, 2003, after two public hearings and a public comment period, the Illinois Pollution Control Board proposed first-notice amendments to its permitting rules for public water supplies (PWS). See Radionuclide Restricted Status, Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 602.105, 602.106, 602.108, and 602.115, R03-21 (June 19, 2003). The amendments would extend an existing exemption, allowing the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to continue issuing construction and operating permits to qualifying PWS though the water supplies do not comply with the radionuclide standards for drinking water.
Board Proposes First-Notice Amendments to Public Water Supply Permitting Rules

The proposed exemption would “sunset” (i.e., no longer

The proposed exemption to this
