March 6, 2014 - On March 6, 2014, the Board adopted a second-notice opinion and order to amend the Illinois Primary Drinking Water Standards relating to certification of laboratories analyzing drinking water samples. Specifically, the proposed amendments would allow a drinking water supplier to use a laboratory certified by a sister state for a parameter where no United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)-certified or Illinois-certified laboratory exists for that parameter. Currently, laboratories used must be certified and approved either by the USPEA or the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). On September 19, 2013, the IEPA filed this rulemaking docketed as In the Matter of: Amendments to Primary Drinking Water Standards: 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611.490 (R14-9).
