Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(420 ILCS 20/10.2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 241-10.2)
Sec. 10.2. Selection of site for characterization. (a) (Blank).
(b) (Blank).
(c) (Blank).
(c-3) (Blank).
(c-5) The Agency may adopt rules establishing a
site selection process for a regional disposal facility. In
developing rules, the Agency
shall, at a minimum, consider the following:
(1) A comprehensive and open process under which the |
| land for sites recommended and proposed by the contractor under subsection (e) of this Section shall be volunteered lands as provided in this Section. Land may be volunteered for the regional disposal facility jointly by landowners and (i) the municipality in which the land is located, (ii) every municipality with 1 1/2 miles of the land if the land is not within a municipality, or (iii) the county or counties in which the land is located if the land is not within a municipality and not within 1 1/2 miles of a municipality.
|
|
(2) Utilization of State screening and volunteer site
|
| evaluation reports prepared by the Scientific Surveys for the purpose of determining whether proposed sites appear likely to satisfy the site selection criteria.
|
|
(3) Coordination of the site selection process with
|
| the projected annual and total volume of low-level radioactive waste to be disposed at the regional disposal facility.
|
|
The site selection process established under this subsection shall require
the contractor selected by the Agency pursuant to Sections 5 and 10 of this
Act to propose one site to the Agency for approval.
(d) The contractor selected by the Agency under Sections 5 and
10
of this Act shall conduct evaluations,
including possible intrusive field investigations, of the sites and locations
identified under the site selection process established under subsection
(c-5) of this Section.
(e) Upon completion of the site evaluations,
the
contractor selected by the Agency shall identify one site of at least 640
acres that appears
promising for development of the regional disposal facility in compliance. The
contractor may conduct any other evaluation of the site identified under
this subsection that the contractor deems appropriate. Upon
completion of the evaluations under this subsection, the
contractor shall
prepare and submit to the Agency a report on the evaluation of the
identified site, including a recommendation as to whether the identified site
should be further considered for selection as a site for the
regional disposal facility. A site so recommended for further
consideration is hereinafter referred to as a "proposed site".
(f) (Blank).
(g) The Agency may require a
contractor to submit a further report pursuant to subsection (e) of this
Section proposing another site from the locations identified under the site
selection process established pursuant to subsection (c-5) of this Section as likely to satisfy the criteria. The
new proposed site shall be the subject
of a public meeting under this subsection. The contractor selected by the Agency
shall
propose
additional sites until the Agency has approved a proposed site recommended by a
contractor. In the event that the Agency
does not approve any of the proposed sites recommended by the
contractor under this subsection, the Agency shall prepare a study containing, at a minimum, the Agency's
recommendations regarding the viability of the site selection
process established pursuant to this Act. The Agency
shall provide copies of the study to the Governor, the President and
Minority Leader of the Senate, and the Speaker and Minority Leader of the
House. The Agency shall also publish a notice of availability of the study
in the State newspaper and make copies of the report available without charge
to the public.
(h) (Blank).
(i) Upon the Agency's approval, the contractor shall
proceed with the characterization and licensure of the proposed site under
Section 10.3 of this Act.
