- Board Adopts Amendments to Radium Water Quality Standards
On February 16, 2006, the Illinois Pollution Control Board adopted for final notice
amended general use water quality standards for radium.
- Adm.
- Code 302.207 and 302.525 revise
the general use water quality standard, applying the standard to combined radium 226 and
228, as opposed to the current standard applicable only to radium 226.
- This standard
applies to all general use waters of the State, including stream segments that receive
discharge from Public Owned Treatment Works, as well as the Lake Michigan Basin.
- This rulemaking does not impact Illinois’ drinking water standard of 5.0
pCi/L for combined radium.
