November 5, 2008 - On November 5, 2008, the Illinois Pollution Control Board accepted for hearing a proposal from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to amend Part 225 of the Board’s air pollution regulations. IEPA’s proposal seeks to recreate certain monitoring provisions of the federal Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR), which was recently vacated by a federal court. The IEPA filed the measure with the Board on October 3, 2008. The proposed rule was docketed as In the Matter of: Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 225: Control of Emissions from Large Combustion Sources (Mercury Monitoring) (R09-10). In its November 5, 2008 order, the Board also granted the IEPA’s motion for expedited review of the proposal. The Board directed the Clerk to cause publication of the proposal in the Illinois Register for first notice without commenting on its substantive merits.
