March 6, 2014 - The Pollution Control Board is seeking comments on the proposed water quality standards and criteria to meet aquatic life uses for the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS) that were adopted by the Board. On March 6, 2014, the Board declined the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s request to open a subdocket in this rulemaking to address the water quality standards for chlorides in the CAWS. The IEPA indicated that it was prepared to proceed in Subdocket D except for the chloride standard, because IEPA needs more time to work on the chloride standards with several participants and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
