On March 3, 2022, the Board issued an order proposing first-notice rules on licensing drycleaning facilities, overseeing their environmental insurance coverage, and administering State fund reimbursement for the costs of cleaning up drycleaning solvent releases. This rulemaking was initiated by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to address amendments to the Drycleaner Environmental Response Trust (DERT) Fund Act. These statutory amendments transferred oversight and implementation of the DERT Fund from the DERT Fund Council to IEPA. After receiving IEPA’s rulemaking proposal, the Board held public hearings and received public comment.
