    AN ACT to  amend  the  Environmental  Protection  Act  by
changing Sections 9.6, 39, and 39.5.

    Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.  The Environmental Protection Act is  amended
by changing Sections 9.6, 39, and 39.5 as follows:

    (415 ILCS 5/9.6) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1009.6)
    Sec. 9.6. Air pollution operating permit fee.
    (a)  For  any  site  for which an air pollution operating
permit is required, other than a site permitted solely  as  a
retail  liquid  dispensing  facility  that  has air pollution
control  equipment  or  an  agrichemical  facility  with   an
endorsed  permit  pursuant  to  Section  39.4,  the  owner or
operator of that site shall pay an initial annual fee to  the
Agency  within  30  days  of receipt of the permit before the
permit is issued and an annual fee each year  thereafter  for
as  long  as  a  permit  is in effect. The initial annual fee
shall be refunded if the permit is denied.
    (b)  The following fee amounts shall apply:
         (1)  The fee for a site permitted to emit less  than
    25  tons  per  year  of  any combination of regulated air
    pollutants, as defined in Section 39.5 of  this  Act,  is
    $100 per year, beginning July 1, 1993, except as provided
    in subsection (c) of this Section.
         (2)  The  fee  for a site permitted to emit at least
    25 tons per year but less than 100 tons per year  of  any
    combination  of  regulated  air pollutants, as defined in
    Section 39.5 of this Act, is $1,000  per  year  beginning
    July  1,  1993,  except  as provided in subsection (c) of
    this Section.
         (3)  The fee for a site permitted to emit  at  least
    100  tons  per  year  of any combination of regulated air
    pollutants is $2,500 per year  beginning  July  1,  1993,
    except  as  provided  in  subsection (c) of this Section;
    provided, however, that the  fee  shall  not  exceed  the
    amount  that  would  be  required for the site if it were
    subject to the fee requirements of Section 39.5  of  this
    Act.
    (c)  The  owner  or  operator  of  any  source subject to
paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3)  of  this  Section  that
becomes subject to Section 39.5 of this Act shall continue to
pay  the  fee  set  forth  in  this  Section until the source
becomes subject to the fee set forth within subsection 18  of
Section  39.5 of this Act. In the event a site has paid a fee
under this Section during the 12 month period  following  the
effective date of the CAAPP, the fee amount shall be deducted
from  any  amount  due under subsection 18 of Section 39.5 of
this Act. Owners or operators that are subject  to  paragraph
(b)(1),  (b)(2),  or (b)(3) of this Section, but that are not
also  subject  to  Section  39.5,  or  excluded  pursuant  to
subsection 1.1 or  subsection  3(c)  of  Section  39.5  shall
continue  to  pay the fee amounts set forth within paragraphs
(b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3), whichever is applicable.
    (d)  Only one air pollution site  fee  may  be  collected
from  any  site, even if such site receives more than one air
pollution control permit.
    (e)  The  Agency  shall  establish  procedures  for   the
collection  of  air  pollution site fees.  Air pollution site
fees may be paid annually, or in advance for  the  number  of
years  for  which  the permit is issued, at the option of the
owner or operator.
    (f)  The Agency may deny an application for the  issuance
or  renewal  of  an air pollution operating permit if any air
pollution site fee owed by the applicant has  not  been  paid
within  60 days of the due date, unless the applicant, at the
time of application, pays to the Agency in  advance  the  air
pollution  site  fee  for the site that is the subject of the
operating permit, plus any other air pollution site fees then
owed by the applicant.    The  denial  of  an  air  pollution
operating permit for failure to pay an air pollution site fee
shall  be  subject  to  review  by  the Board pursuant to the
provisions of subsection (a) of Section 40 of this Act.

    (415 ILCS 5/39) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1039)
    Sec. 39. Issuance of permits; procedures.
    (a)  When the Board has by regulation required  a  permit
for  the construction, installation, or operation of any type
of facility, equipment, vehicle,  vessel,  or  aircraft,  the
applicant  shall  apply  to the Agency for such permit and it
shall be the duty of the Agency to issue such a  permit  upon
proof by the applicant that the facility, equipment, vehicle,
vessel, or aircraft will not cause a violation of this Act or
of  regulations  hereunder.   The  Agency  shall  adopt  such
procedures  as  are  necessary  to carry out its duties under
this Section. In granting permits the Agency may impose  such
conditions  as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of
this Act, and as are not inconsistent  with  the  regulations
promulgated  by  the  Board  hereunder.   Except as otherwise
provided in this Act, a bond or other security shall  not  be
required as a condition for the issuance of a permit.  If the
Agency denies any permit under this Section, the Agency shall
transmit to the applicant within the time limitations of this
Section  specific,  detailed statements as to the reasons the
permit  application  was  denied.   Such   statements   shall
include, but not be limited to the following:
         (i)  the  Sections of this Act which may be violated
    if the permit were granted;
         (ii)  the provision of the regulations,  promulgated
    under  this Act, which may be violated if the permit were
    granted;
         (iii)  the specific type  of  information,  if  any,
    which  the Agency deems the applicant did not provide the
    Agency; and
         (iv)  a statement of specific reasons  why  the  Act
    and  the  regulations might not be met if the permit were
    granted.
    If there is no final action by the Agency within 90  days
after the filing of the application for permit, the applicant
may  deem  the  permit  issued;  except that this time period
shall  be  extended  to  180  days  when  (1)    notice   and
opportunity  for  public  hearing  are  required  by State or
federal law or regulation,  (2)  the  application  which  was
filed  is  for  any  permit  to develop a landfill subject to
issuance pursuant to this subsection, or (3) the  application
that  was  filed is for a MSWLF unit required to issue public
notice under subsection (p) of Section 39.
    The Agency shall  publish  notice  of  all  final  permit
determinations  for  development  permits for MSWLF units and
for significant permit modifications for  lateral  expansions
for  existing  MSWLF units one time in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county in which the unit is or is proposed
to be located.
    After January 1, 1994 and until July 1,  1998,  operating
permits  issued  under this Section by the Agency for sources
of air pollution permitted to emit less than 25 tons per year
of any combination of regulated air pollutants, as defined in
Section 39.5 of this Act, shall be  required  to  be  renewed
only  upon  written  request  by  the  Agency consistent with
applicable provisions of this Act and regulations promulgated
hereunder.  Such operating  permits  shall  expire  180  days
after the date of such a request.  The Board shall revise its
regulations  for  the  existing State air pollution operating
permit program consistent with this provision by  January  1,
1994.
    After  June 30, 1998, operating permits issued under this
Section by the Agency for sources of air pollution  that  are
not  subject to Section 39.5 of this Act and are not required
to have a federally enforceable State operating permit  shall
be  required  to  be renewed only upon written request by the
Agency consistent with applicable provisions of this Act  and
its rules. Such operating permits shall expire 180 days after
the  date  of  such a request. Before July 1, 1998, the Board
shall revise its rules for the existing State  air  pollution
operating  permit  program consistent with this paragraph and
shall adopt rules that require a source to  demonstrate  that
it qualifies for a permit under this paragraph.
    (b)  The Agency may issue NPDES permits exclusively under
this  subsection for the discharge of contaminants from point
sources into navigable waters, all as defined in the  Federal
Water  Pollution  Control  Act,  as now or hereafter amended,
within the jurisdiction of the State, or into any well.
    All  NPDES  permits  shall  contain   those   terms   and
conditions,   including  but  not  limited  to  schedules  of
compliance, which may be required to accomplish the  purposes
and provisions of this Act.
    The Agency may issue general NPDES permits for discharges
from  categories  of  point  sources which are subject to the
same permit limitations and conditions. Such general  permits
may  be  issued  without  individual  applications  and shall
conform to regulations promulgated under Section 402  of  the
Federal  Water  Pollution  Control  Act,  as now or hereafter
amended.
    The Agency may include, among such  conditions,  effluent
limitations  and  other  requirements  established under this
Act, Board regulations, the Federal Water  Pollution  Control
Act,  as  now  or hereafter amended, and regulations pursuant
thereto, and schedules for achieving compliance therewith  at
the earliest reasonable date.
    The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures
which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of NPDES
permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations
adopted  by  the  Board, and with the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, as now or  hereafter  amended,  and  regulations
pursuant thereto.
    The  Agency,  subject  to  any  conditions  which  may be
prescribed by Board regulations, may issue NPDES  permits  to
allow  discharges beyond deadlines established by this Act or
by regulations of the Board  without  the  requirement  of  a
variance, subject to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
as   now  or  hereafter  amended,  and  regulations  pursuant
thereto.
    (c)  Except for those facilities  owned  or  operated  by
sanitary  districts  organized  under  the Metropolitan Water
Reclamation District Act, no permit for  the  development  or
construction  of  a  new  pollution  control  facility may be
granted by the Agency unless the applicant submits  proof  to
the  Agency  that  the  location  of  the  facility  has been
approved  by  the  County  Board  of  the  county  if  in  an
unincorporated  area,  or   the   governing   body   of   the
municipality  when  in  an  incorporated  area,  in which the
facility is to be located in accordance with Section 39.2  of
this Act.
    Beginning  August  20,  1993,  if  the  pollution control
facility consists of a  hazardous  or  solid  waste  disposal
facility  for  which  the  proposed  site  is  located  in an
unincorporated area of a county with  a  population  of  less
than  100,000  and  includes  all or a portion of a parcel of
land that was, on April 1, 1993, adjacent to  a  municipality
having a population of less than 5,000, then the local siting
review required under this subsection (c) in conjunction with
any  permit applied for after that date shall be performed by
the governing body of that adjacent municipality rather  than
the  county board of the county in which the proposed site is
located; and for the purposes of that  local  siting  review,
any  references  in  this  Act  to  the county board shall be
deemed  to  mean  the  governing  body   of   that   adjacent
municipality;  provided, however, that the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply to any proposed site which was,  on
April  1,  1993,  owned  in  whole  or  in  part  by  another
municipality.
    In  the  case of a pollution control facility for which a
development permit was issued before November 12, 1981, if an
operating permit has not been issued by the Agency  prior  to
August  31,  1989  for  any portion of the facility, then the
Agency may not issue or  renew  any  development  permit  nor
issue  an  original  operating permit for any portion of such
facility unless the applicant  has  submitted  proof  to  the
Agency that the location of the facility has been approved by
the  appropriate  county  board  or  municipal governing body
pursuant to Section 39.2 of this Act.
    After  January  1,  1994,  if  a  solid  waste   disposal
facility,  any portion for which an operating permit has been
issued by the Agency, has not accepted waste disposal  for  5
or more consecutive calendars years, before that facility may
accept  any  new  or additional waste for disposal, the owner
and operator must obtain a new operating  permit  under  this
Act  for  that  facility  unless  the owner and operator have
applied to the Agency for a permit authorizing the  temporary
suspension  of  waste  acceptance. The Agency may not issue a
new operation permit under this Act for the  facility  unless
the  applicant  has  submitted  proof  to the Agency that the
location of the facility has been approved or re-approved  by
the  appropriate  county  board  or  municipal governing body
under Section 39.2 of this  Act  after  the  facility  ceased
accepting waste.
    Except for those facilities owned or operated by sanitary
districts  organized under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation
District Act, and except for new pollution control facilities
governed by Section 39.2, and except for fossil  fuel  mining
facilities, the granting of a permit under this Act shall not
relieve the applicant from meeting and securing all necessary
zoning  approvals  from  the unit of government having zoning
jurisdiction over the proposed facility.
    Before beginning construction on any new sewage treatment
plant or sludge drying site to be  owned  or  operated  by  a
sanitary  district  organized  under  the  Metropolitan Water
Reclamation District Act  for which a new permit (rather than
the renewal or amendment of an existing permit) is  required,
such sanitary district shall hold a public hearing within the
municipality  within  which  the  proposed  facility is to be
located, or within the  nearest  community  if  the  proposed
facility  is  to be located within an unincorporated area, at
which information concerning the proposed facility  shall  be
made available to the public, and members of the public shall
be  given  the  opportunity to express their views concerning
the proposed facility.
    The Agency may issue  a  permit  for  a  municipal  waste
transfer  station  without  requiring  approval  pursuant  to
Section  39.2  provided  that  the following demonstration is
made:
         (1)  the municipal waste  transfer  station  was  in
    existence  on  or  before  January  1,  1979  and  was in
    continuous operation from January 1, 1979 to  January  1,
    1993;
         (2)  the  operator submitted a permit application to
    the Agency to develop and  operate  the  municipal  waste
    transfer station during April of 1994;
         (3)  the  operator  can  demonstrate that the county
    board of the county,  if  the  municipal  waste  transfer
    station  is  in  an unincorporated area, or the governing
    body of  the  municipality,  if  the  station  is  in  an
    incorporated  area,  does not object to resumption of the
    operation of the station; and
         (4)  the site has local zoning approval.
    (d)  The Agency may issue RCRA permits exclusively  under
this subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for
the  treatment,  storage,  or  disposal of hazardous waste as
defined under this Act.
    All  RCRA  permits  shall   contain   those   terms   and
conditions,   including  but  not  limited  to  schedules  of
compliance, which may be required to accomplish the  purposes
and  provisions  of  this  Act.  The Agency may include among
such conditions standards and other requirements  established
under  this Act, Board regulations, the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of  1976  (P.L.  94-580),  as  amended,  and
regulations  pursuant  thereto, and may include schedules for
achieving compliance  therewith  as  soon  as  possible.  The
Agency  shall  require  that  a  performance  bond  or  other
security  be  provided  as  a condition for the issuance of a
RCRA permit.
    In the case of a permit to operate a hazardous  waste  or
PCB  incinerator  as defined in subsection (k) of Section 44,
the Agency shall require, as a condition of the permit,  that
the  operator  of  the  facility perform such analyses of the
waste to be incinerated as may be necessary  and  appropriate
to ensure the safe operation of the incinerator.
    The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures
which  are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of RCRA
permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations
adopted by the Board, and with the Resource Conservation  and
Recovery   Act   of  1976  (P.L.  94-580),  as  amended,  and
regulations pursuant thereto.
    The applicant shall make  available  to  the  public  for
inspection  all  documents  submitted by the applicant to the
Agency in furtherance of an application, with  the  exception
of  trade  secrets,  at  the  office  of  the county board or
governing body of the municipality.  Such  documents  may  be
copied upon payment of the actual cost of reproduction during
regular business hours of the local office.  The Agency shall
issue a written statement concurrent with its grant or denial
of the permit explaining the basis for its decision.
    (e)  The  Agency  may issue UIC permits exclusively under
this subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for
the underground injection of contaminants  as  defined  under
this Act.
    All UIC permits shall contain those terms and conditions,
including  but  not limited to schedules of compliance, which
may be required to accomplish the purposes and provisions  of
this  Act.  The  Agency  may  include  among  such conditions
standards and other requirements established under this  Act,
Board regulations, the Safe Drinking Water Act (P.L. 93-523),
as amended, and regulations pursuant thereto, and may include
schedules  for  achieving  compliance  therewith.  The Agency
shall require that a performance bond or  other  security  be
provided as a condition for the issuance of a UIC permit.
    The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures
which  are  necessary and appropriate for the issuance of UIC
permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations
adopted by the Board, and with the Safe  Drinking  Water  Act
(P.L. 93-523), as amended, and regulations pursuant thereto.
    The  applicant  shall  make  available  to the public for
inspection, all documents submitted by the applicant  to  the
Agency  in  furtherance of an application, with the exception
of trade secrets, at  the  office  of  the  county  board  or
governing  body  of  the  municipality. Such documents may be
copied upon payment of the actual cost of reproduction during
regular business hours of the local office.  The Agency shall
issue a written statement concurrent with its grant or denial
of the permit explaining the basis for its decision.
    (f)  In making any determination pursuant to Section  9.1
of this Act:
         (1)  The  Agency  shall  have  authority to make the
    determination of any question required to  be  determined
    by  the  Clean Air Act, as now or hereafter amended, this
    Act, or the  regulations  of  the  Board,  including  the
    determination  of  the  Lowest  Achievable Emission Rate,
    Maximum Achievable Control Technology, or Best  Available
    Control   Technology,   consistent   with   the   Board's
    regulations, if any.
         (2)  The  Agency  shall,  after  conferring with the
    applicant, give written notice to the  applicant  of  its
    proposed  decision on the application including the terms
    and conditions of the permit to be issued and the  facts,
    conduct or other basis upon which the Agency will rely to
    support its proposed action.
         (3)  Following  such  notice,  the Agency shall give
    the applicant an opportunity for a hearing in  accordance
    with  the  provisions  of Sections 10-25 through 10-60 of
    the  Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
    (g)  The Agency shall  include  as  conditions  upon  all
permits  issued  for  hazardous  waste  disposal  sites  such
restrictions  upon  the  future  use  of  such  sites  as are
reasonably  necessary  to  protect  public  health  and   the
environment,  including  permanent  prohibition of the use of
such sites for purposes which may create an unreasonable risk
of injury to human  health  or  to  the  environment.   After
administrative  and  judicial challenges to such restrictions
have been exhausted, the Agency shall file such  restrictions
of  record  in  the  Office  of the Recorder of the county in
which the hazardous waste disposal site is located.
    (h)  A hazardous waste stream may not be deposited  in  a
permitted  hazardous waste site unless specific authorization
is obtained from the Agency by  the  generator  and  disposal
site  owner  and  operator  for  the deposit of that specific
hazardous  waste  stream.   The  Agency  may  grant  specific
authorization for disposal of hazardous  waste  streams  only
after   the   generator  has  reasonably  demonstrated  that,
considering   technological    feasibility    and    economic
reasonableness,  the  hazardous  waste  cannot  be reasonably
recycled for reuse, nor incinerated or chemically, physically
or biologically treated so as  to  neutralize  the  hazardous
waste  and render it nonhazardous.  In granting authorization
under this Section, the Agency may impose such conditions  as
may  be  necessary  to accomplish the purposes of the Act and
are consistent with this Act and regulations  promulgated  by
the   Board  hereunder.   If  the  Agency  refuses  to  grant
authorization under this Section, the applicant may appeal as
if the Agency refused to grant  a  permit,  pursuant  to  the
provisions  of subsection (a) of Section 40 of this Act.  For
purposes of this subsection (h), the term "generator" has the
meaning given in Section 3.12 of this Act,  unless:  (1)  the
hazardous   waste   is  treated,  incinerated,  or  partially
recycled for reuse prior to disposal, in which case the  last
person  who  treats,  incinerates,  or partially recycles the
hazardous waste prior to disposal is the  generator;  or  (2)
the  hazardous waste is from a response action, in which case
the person performing the response action is  the  generator.
This  subsection  (h)  does  not apply to any hazardous waste
that is restricted from land disposal under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
728.
    (i)  Before issuing any RCRA permit or any permit for the
conduct  of  any   waste-transportation   or   waste-disposal
operation,  the  Agency  shall  conduct  an evaluation of the
prospective operator's prior experience in  waste  management
operations.  The  Agency  may  deny  such  a  permit  if  the
prospective  operator  or  any  employee  or  officer  of the
prospective operator has a history of:
         (1)  repeated violations of federal, State, or local
    laws,  regulations,  standards,  or  ordinances  in   the
    operation of refuse disposal facilities or sites; or
         (2)  conviction  in  this  or  another  State of any
    crime which is a felony under the laws of this State,  or
    conviction of a felony in a federal court; or
         (3)  proof  of gross carelessness or incompetence in
    handling, storing, processing, transporting or  disposing
    of any hazardous waste.
    (j)  The issuance under this Act of a permit to engage in
the  surface  mining of any resources other than fossil fuels
shall not relieve the permittee from its duty to comply  with
any   applicable   local  law  regulating  the  commencement,
location or operation of surface mining facilities.
    (k)  A development permit issued under subsection (a)  of
Section 39 for any facility or site which is required to have
a  permit  under subsection (d) of Section 21 shall expire at
the end of 2 calendar years from the date upon which  it  was
issued,  unless  within  that  period the applicant has taken
action to develop the facility or the site. In the event that
review of the conditions of the development permit is  sought
pursuant  to Section 40 or 41, or permittee is prevented from
commencing development of the facility or site by  any  other
litigation  beyond  the  permittee's  control,  such two-year
period shall be deemed to begin on the date upon  which  such
review  process or litigation is concluded.
    (l)  No  permit  shall be issued by the Agency under this
Act for construction or operation of  any  facility  or  site
located within the boundaries of any setback zone established
pursuant to this Act, where such construction or operation is
prohibited.
    (m)  The  Agency  may  issue permits to persons owning or
operating a  facility  for  composting  landscape  waste.  In
granting  such permits, the Agency may impose such conditions
as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of  this  Act,
and  as  are  not  inconsistent  with  applicable regulations
promulgated by the Board.  Except as  otherwise  provided  in
this Act, a bond or other security shall not be required as a
condition for the issuance of a permit.  If the Agency denies
any  permit  pursuant  to  this  subsection, the Agency shall
transmit to the applicant within the time limitations of this
subsection specific, detailed statements as  to  the  reasons
the  permit  application  was  denied.  Such statements shall
include but not be limited to the following:
         (1)  the Sections of this Act that may  be  violated
    if the permit were granted;
         (2)  the  specific  regulations promulgated pursuant
    to this Act that may  be  violated  if  the  permit  were
    granted;
         (3)  the  specific  information,  if any, the Agency
    deems the applicant did not provide in its application to
    the Agency; and
         (4)  a statement of specific reasons why the Act and
    the regulations might be  violated  if  the  permit  were
    granted.
    If  no final action is taken by the Agency within 90 days
after the filing of the application for permit, the applicant
may deem the permit issued.  Any applicant for a  permit  may
waive  the  90  day  limitation by filing a written statement
with the Agency.
    The Agency shall issue permits for such  facilities  upon
receipt  of  an application that includes a legal description
of the site, a topographic map of the site drawn to the scale
of 200 feet to the inch  or  larger,  a  description  of  the
operation,  including  the  area  served,  an estimate of the
volume of materials to be processed, and documentation that:
         (1)  the facility includes a setback of at least 200
    feet from the nearest potable water supply well;
         (2)  the facility is located outside the boundary of
    the 10-year floodplain or the site will be floodproofed;
         (3)  the facility  is  located  so  as  to  minimize
    incompatibility  with  the  character  of the surrounding
    area, including at least a  200  foot  setback  from  any

    enforceable conditions limiting the "potential  to  emit"
    of the source to a level below the major source threshold
    for  that  source  as described in paragraph 2(c) of this
    Section.
         d.  The Agency shall provide an owner or operator of
    a source which may be excluded from the CAAPP pursuant to
    this subsection with reasonable notice that the owner  or
    operator may seek such exclusion.

         under  Section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act which
         are determined by USEPA to be exempt at the  time  a
         new standard is promulgated.
              iii.  All  sources  and  source categories that
         would be required to obtain a permit solely  because
         they are subject to Part 60, Subpart AAA - Standards
         of  Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters (40
         CFR Part 60).
              iv.  All sources  and  source  categories  that
         would  be required to obtain a permit solely because
         they are subject to Part 61, Subpart  M  -  National
         Emission  Standard  for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
         Asbestos, Section 61.145 (40 CFR Part 61).
              v.  Any other  source  categories  exempted  by
         USEPA  regulations pursuant to Section 502(a) of the
         Clean Air Act.
         c.  For purposes of this  Section  the  term  "major
    source" means any source that is:
              i.  A  major  source  under  Section 112 of the
         Clean Air Act, which is defined as:
                   A.  For     pollutants     other      than
              radionuclides,  any  stationary source or group
              of  stationary   sources   located   within   a
              contiguous  area  and under common control that
              emits or has the  potential  to  emit,  in  the
              aggregate,  10  tons  per year (tpy) or more of
              any hazardous  air  pollutant  which  has  been
              listed  pursuant to Section 112(b) of the Clean
              Air Act, 25 tpy or more of any  combination  of
              such  hazardous  air pollutants, or such lesser
              quantity  as  USEPA  may  establish  by   rule.
              Notwithstanding    the    preceding   sentence,
              emissions from any oil or  gas  exploration  or
              production well (with its associated equipment)
              and  emissions  from any pipeline compressor or
              pump  station  shall  not  be  aggregated  with
              emissions from other similar units, whether  or
              not  such  units  are  in  a contiguous area or
              under common control, to determine whether such
              stations are major sources.
                   B.  For  radionuclides,   "major   source"
              shall  have  the meaning specified by the USEPA
              by rule.
              ii.  A   major   stationary   source   of   air
         pollutants, as defined in Section 302 of  the  Clean
         Air Act, that directly emits or has the potential to
         emit,   100   tpy  or  more  of  any  air  pollutant
         (including any major source of fugitive emissions of
         any such pollutant, as determined by rule by USEPA).
         For   purposes   of   this   subsection,   "fugitive
         emissions" means those  emissions  which  could  not
         reasonably  pass  through a stack, chimney, vent, or
         other functionally-equivalent opening.  The fugitive
         emissions  of  a  stationary  source  shall  not  be
         considered in determining  whether  it  is  a  major
         stationary source for the purposes of Section 302(j)
         of  the  Clean Air Act, unless the source belongs to
         one  of  the  following  categories  of   stationary
         source:
                   A.  Coal  cleaning  plants  (with  thermal
              dryers).
                   B.  Kraft pulp mills.
                   C.  Portland cement plants.

                   G.  Primary copper smelters.
                   H.  Municipal   incinerators   capable  of
              charging more than 250 tons of refuse per day.
                   I.  Hydrofluoric, sulfuric, or nitric acid
              plants.
                   J.  Petroleum refineries.
                   K.  Lime plants.
                   L.  Phosphate rock processing plants.
                   M.  Coke oven batteries.
                   N.  Sulfur recovery plants.

              thereof) totaling more than 250 million British
              thermal units per hour heat input.
                   V.  Petroleum storage and  transfer  units
              with a total storage capacity exceeding 300,000
              barrels.
                   W.  Taconite ore processing plants.
                   X.  Glass fiber processing plants.
                   Y.  Charcoal production plants.
                   Z.  Fossil   fuel-fired   steam   electric
              plants of more than 250 million British thermal
              units per hour heat input.
                   AA.  All     other    stationary    source
              categories regulated by a standard  promulgated
              under  Section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act,
              but only with respect to those  air  pollutants
              that have been regulated for that category.
                   BB.  Any  other stationary source category
              designated by USEPA by rule.
              iii.  A major stationary source as  defined  in
         part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act including:
                   A.  For ozone nonattainment areas, sources
              with the potential to emit 100 tons or more per
              year of volatile organic compounds or oxides of
              nitrogen  in  areas classified as "marginal" or
              "moderate", 50 tons or more per year  in  areas
              classified  as  "serious",  25 tons or more per
              year in areas classified as  "severe",  and  10
              tons  or  more  per year in areas classified as
              "extreme"; except that the references  in  this
              clause  to 100, 50, 25, and 10 tons per year of
              nitrogen oxides shall not apply with respect to
              any source for which USEPA has made a  finding,
              under Section 182(f)(1) or (2) of the Clean Air
              Act,  that requirements otherwise applicable to
              such source under Section 182(f) of  the  Clean
              Air  Act  do  not  apply.   Such  sources shall
              remain subject to the major source criteria  of
              paragraph 2(c)(ii) of this subsection.
                   B.  For     ozone     transport    regions
              established pursuant  to  Section  184  of  the
              Clean  Air  Act,  sources with the potential to
              emit 50 tons  or  more  per  year  of  volatile
              organic compounds (VOCs).
                   C.  For   carbon   monoxide  nonattainment
              areas (1) that are classified as "serious", and
              (2)  in  which  stationary  sources  contribute
              significantly  to  carbon  monoxide  levels  as
              determined under rules issued by USEPA, sources
              with the potential to emit 50 tons or more  per
              year of carbon monoxide.
                   D.  For    particulate    matter   (PM-10)
              nonattainment areas  classified  as  "serious",
              sources  with  the potential to emit 70 tons or
              more per year of PM-10.

    3.  Agency Authority To Issue CAAPP Permits and Federally
Enforceable State Operating Permits.
         a.  The Agency shall issue CAAPP permits under  this
    Section consistent with the Clean Air Act and regulations
    promulgated  thereunder  and  this  Act  and  regulations
    promulgated thereunder.
         b.  The  Agency  shall issue CAAPP permits for fixed
    terms of 5 years, except CAAPP permits issued  for  solid
    waste incineration units combusting municipal waste which
    shall  be  issued  for fixed terms of 12 years and except
    CAAPP permits for affected sources  for  acid  deposition
    which  shall  be  issued  for  initial terms to expire on
    December 31,  1999,  and  for  fixed  terms  of  5  years
    thereafter.
         c.  The  Agency  shall have the authority to issue a
    State operating permit for a source under  Section  39(a)
    of  this  Act,  as  amended,  and regulations promulgated
    thereunder,   which   includes   federally    enforceable
    conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of the source
    to  a  level  below  the  major source threshold for that
    source as described in paragraph 2(c)  of  this  Section,
    thereby   excluding  the  source  from  the  CAAPP,  when
    requested by the applicant pursuant to paragraph 5(u)  of
    this  Section.   The  public  notice requirements of this
    Section applicable to CAAPP permits shall also  apply  to
    the initial issuance of permits under this paragraph.
         d.  For  purposes  of  this  Act, a permit issued by
    USEPA under Section 505 of the Clean Air Act, as now  and
    hereafter  amended, shall be deemed to be a permit issued
    by the Agency pursuant to Section 39.5 of this Act.

    4.  Transition.
         a.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not
    be required to renew an existing State  operating  permit
    for  any  emission unit at such CAAPP source once a CAAPP
    application timely submitted prior to expiration  of  the
    State  operating  permit  has  been  deemed complete. For
    purposes other than permit renewal, the  obligation  upon
    the owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State
    operating  permit  is  not  removed upon submittal of the
    complete CAAPP permit application.  An owner or  operator
    of  a  CAAPP  source  seeking to make a modification to a
    source prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be
    required to obtain a construction and/or operating permit
    as required for such modification in accordance with  the
    State  permit program under Section 39(a) of this Act, as
    amended, and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.   The
    application for such construction and/or operating permit
    shall be considered an amendment to the CAAPP application
    submitted for such source.
         b.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
    continue to operate in  accordance  with  the  terms  and
    conditions  of  its  applicable  State  operating  permit
    notwithstanding  the  expiration  of  the State operating
    permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued.
         c.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
    submit  its  initial  CAAPP  application to the Agency no
    later than 12 months after  the  effective  date  of  the
    CAAPP.  The Agency may request submittal of initial CAAPP
    applications  during  this 12 month period according to a
    schedule set forth within Agency procedures, however,  in
    no  event shall the Agency require such submittal earlier
    than 3 months after such effective date of the CAAPP.  An
    owner or operator  may  voluntarily  submit  its  initial
    CAAPP  application prior to the date required within this
    paragraph or applicable procedures, if any, subsequent to
    the date the  Agency  submits  the  CAAPP  to  USEPA  for
    approval.
         d.  The   Agency   shall   act   on   initial  CAAPP
    applications in accordance with subsection 5(j)  of  this
    Section.
         e.  For  purposes of this Section, the term "initial
    CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application
    submitted for a source existing as of the effective  date
    of the CAAPP.
         f.  The  Agency shall provide owners or operators of
    CAAPP sources with at least three months  advance  notice
    of  the  date on which their applications are required to
    be submitted.  In  determining  which  sources  shall  be
    subject  to  early  submittal,  the  Agency shall include
    among its considerations the  complexity  of  the  permit
    application,  and  the  burden  that such early submittal
    will have on the source.
         g.  The CAAPP permit shall upon  becoming  effective
    supersede the State operating permit.
         h.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
    procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
    Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    5.  Applications and Completeness.
         a.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
    submit its complete CAAPP application consistent with the
    Act and applicable regulations.
         b.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
    submit a single complete CAAPP application  covering  all
    emission units at that source.
         c.  To  be deemed complete, a CAAPP application must
    provide  all  information,   as   requested   in   Agency
    application  forms,  sufficient  to  evaluate the subject
    source  and  its  application  and   to   determine   all
    applicable  requirements,  pursuant to the Clean Air Act,
    and regulations  thereunder,  this  Act  and  regulations
    thereunder.   Such  Agency  application  forms  shall  be
    finalized  and  made available prior to the date on which
    any CAAPP application is required.
         d.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
    submit,  as  part  of  its  complete CAAPP application, a
    compliance plan,  including  a  schedule  of  compliance,
    describing  how  each  emission unit will comply with all
    applicable requirements.  Any such schedule of compliance
    shall  be  supplemental  to,  and  shall   not   sanction
    noncompliance  with, the applicable requirements on which
    it is based.
         e.  Each  submitted  CAAPP  application   shall   be
    certified  for  truth,  accuracy,  and  completeness by a
    responsible  official  in  accordance   with   applicable
    regulations.
         f.  The  Agency  shall  provide  notice  to  a CAAPP
    applicant as to whether a submitted CAAPP application  is
    complete.   Unless  the  Agency notifies the applicant of
    incompleteness, within 60 days of receipt  of  the  CAAPP
    application,  the  application  shall be deemed complete.
    The Agency may request additional information  as  needed
    to  make  the completeness determination.  The Agency may
    to the extent practicable provide the  applicant  with  a
    reasonable opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a
    final determination of completeness.
         g.  If  after  the determination of completeness the
    Agency finds that additional information is necessary  to
    evaluate  or  take final action on the CAAPP application,
    the Agency may request in writing such  information  from
    the source with a reasonable deadline for response.
         h.  If  the  owner  or  operator  of  a CAAPP source
    submits a timely  and  complete  CAAPP  application,  the
    source's  failure  to  have a CAAPP permit shall not be a
    violation of this Section until the  Agency  takes  final
    action  on  the  submitted  CAAPP  application, provided,
    however,  where  the  applicant  fails  to   submit   the
    requested  information  under  paragraph  5(g) within the
    time frame specified by the Agency, this protection shall
    cease to apply.
         i.  Any applicant who fails to submit  any  relevant
    facts  necessary  to  evaluate the subject source and its
    CAAPP  application  or  who   has   submitted   incorrect
    information  in  a CAAPP application shall, upon becoming
    aware of such  failure  or  incorrect  submittal,  submit
    supplementary facts or correct information to the Agency.
    In  addition,  an  applicant  shall provide to the Agency
    additional  information  as  necessary  to  address   any
    requirements   which  become  applicable  to  the  source
    subsequent  to  the  date  the  applicant  submitted  its
    complete CAAPP application but prior to  release  of  the
    draft CAAPP permit.
         j.  The  Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP permit
    within 18  months  after  the  date  of  receipt  of  the
    complete    CAAPP   application,   with   the   following
    exceptions:  (i) permits for affected  sources  for  acid
    deposition  shall  be  issued  or  denied within 6 months
    after receipt of a  complete  application  in  accordance
    with subsection 17 of this Section; (ii) the Agency shall
    act  on initial CAAPP applications within 24 months after
    the date of receipt of the  complete  CAAPP  application;
    (iii)  the  Agency  shall  act  on  complete applications
    containing early reduction demonstrations  under  Section
    112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act within 9 months of receipt
    of the complete CAAPP application.
         Where  the  Agency does not take final action on the
    permit within the required time period, the permit  shall
    not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be
    treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial
    review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act.
         k.  The  submittal  of  a complete CAAPP application
    shall not affect the requirement that any source  have  a
    preconstruction  permit  under  Title  I of the Clean Air
    Act.
         l.  Unless a timely and complete renewal application
    has been submitted consistent  with  this  subsection,  a
    CAAPP  source  operating upon the expiration of its CAAPP
    permit shall be deemed to be operating  without  a  CAAPP
    permit.  Such operation is prohibited under this Act.
         m.  Permits  being  renewed  shall be subject to the
    same procedural requirements, including those for  public
    participation  and  federal  review  and  objection, that
    apply to original permit issuance.
         n.  For  purposes  of  permit  renewal,   a   timely
    application  is  one  that  is  submitted  no less than 9
    months prior to the date of permit expiration.
         o.  The terms and conditions of a CAAPP permit shall
    remain in effect until the issuance of  a  CAAPP  renewal
    permit  provided  a timely and complete CAAPP application
    has been submitted.
         p.  The owner or operator of a CAAPP source  seeking
    a  permit  shield  pursuant  to  paragraph  7(j)  of this
    Section shall request such permit  shield  in  the  CAAPP
    application regarding that source.
         q.  The  Agency  shall  make available to the public
    all documents submitted by the applicant to  the  Agency,
    including   each   CAAPP   application,  compliance  plan
    (including the schedule of compliance), and emissions  or
    compliance  monitoring  report,  with  the  exception  of
    information  entitled  to confidential treatment pursuant
    to Section 7 of this Act.
         r.  The Agency  shall  use  the  standardized  forms
    required  under  Title  IV  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and
    regulations  promulgated  thereunder for affected sources
    for acid deposition.
         s.  An owner or  operator  of  a  CAAPP  source  may
    include  within  its  CAAPP  application  a  request  for
    permission  to  operate during a startup, malfunction, or
    breakdown consistent with applicable Board regulations.
         t.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source, in order
    to utilize the  operational  flexibility  provided  under
    paragraph 7(l) of this Section, must request such use and
    provide   the  necessary  information  within  its  CAAPP
    application.
         u.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  which
    seeks  exclusion from the CAAPP through the imposition of
    federally enforceable conditions, pursuant  to  paragraph
    3(c)  of this Section, must request such exclusion within
    a  CAAPP  application  submitted  consistent  with   this
    subsection   on   or   after  the  date  that  the  CAAPP
    application for the source is due. Prior  to  such  date,
    but  in  no  case later than 9 months after the effective
    date of the CAAPP, such owner or operator may request the
    imposition of federally enforceable  conditions  pursuant
    to paragraph 1.1(b) of this Section.
         v.  CAAPP   applications   shall   contain  accurate
    information on allowable emissions to implement  the  fee
    provisions of subsection 18 of this Section.
         w.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
    submit within its CAAPP application emissions information
    regarding all regulated air pollutants  emitted  at  that
    source  consistent  with  applicable  Agency  procedures.
    Emissions  information regarding insignificant activities
    or emission levels, as determined by the Agency  pursuant
    to  Board  regulations, may be submitted as a list within
    the  CAAPP  application.   The   Agency   shall   propose
    regulations   to   the   Board   defining   insignificant
    activities  or  emission  levels, consistent with federal
    regulations, if any, no later than 18  months  after  the
    effective date of this amendatory Act of 1992, consistent
    with  Section  112(n)(1) of the Clean Air Act.  The Board
    shall  adopt  final  regulations  defining  insignificant
    activities or emission levels  no  later  than  9  months
    after the date of the Agency's proposal.
         x.  The  owner  or  operator  of  a new CAAPP source
    shall submit its complete  CAAPP  application  consistent
    with  this  subsection  within 12 months after commencing
    operation of such source. The owner  or  operator  of  an
    existing   source   that   has  been  excluded  from  the
    provisions  of  this  Section  under  subsection  1.1  or
    subsection 3(c) of this Section and that becomes  subject
    to  the  CAAPP solely due to a change in operation at the
    source  shall  submit  its  complete  CAAPP   application
    consistent  with this subsection at least 180 days before
    commencing operation in accordance  with  the  change  in
    operation.
         y.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
    procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
    Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
    necessary to implement this subsection.

    6.  Prohibitions.
         a.  It shall be unlawful for any person  to  violate
    any  terms  or  conditions  of a permit issued under this
    Section, to operate any CAAPP source except in compliance
    with a permit issued by the Agency under this Section  or
    to  violate any other applicable requirements.  All terms
    and conditions of a permit issued under this Section  are
    enforceable  by  USEPA  and  citizens under the Clean Air
    Act,  except  those,  if  any,  that   are   specifically
    designated  as  not  being  federally  enforceable in the
    permit pursuant to paragraph 7(m) of this Section.
         b.  After the applicable  CAAPP  permit  or  renewal
    application  submittal date, as specified in subsection 5
    of this Section, no person shall operate a  CAAPP  source
    without  a  CAAPP permit unless the complete CAAPP permit
    or renewal application for such source  has  been  timely
    submitted to the Agency.
         c.  No  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
    cause or threaten or allow the continued operation of  an
    emission  source  during  malfunction or breakdown of the
    emission  source  or  related   air   pollution   control
    equipment  if  such  operation would cause a violation of
    the standards or limitations applicable  to  the  source,
    unless  the  CAAPP  permit granted to the source provides
    for  such  operation  consistent  with   this   Act   and
    applicable Board regulations.

    7.  Permit Content.
         a.  All   CAAPP   permits   shall  contain  emission
    limitations and standards and other enforceable terms and
    conditions, including  but  not  limited  to  operational
    requirements,  and  schedules for achieving compliance at
    the earliest  reasonable  date,  which  are  or  will  be
    required  to  accomplish  the  purposes and provisions of
    this Act and to assure  compliance  with  all  applicable
    requirements.
         b.  The  Agency  shall include among such conditions
    applicable  monitoring,  reporting,  record  keeping  and
    compliance certification requirements, as  authorized  by
    paragraphs  d,  e,  and  f  of  this subsection, that the
    Agency deems necessary  to  assure  compliance  with  the
    Clean  Air  Act,  the regulations promulgated thereunder,
    this  Act,  and  applicable  Board   regulations.    When
    monitoring,  reporting,  record  keeping,  and compliance
    certification requirements are specified within the Clean
    Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act, or
    applicable  regulations,  such  requirements   shall   be
    included  within  the CAAPP permit.  The Board shall have
    authority  to  promulgate  additional  regulations  where
    necessary to accomplish the purposes  of  the  Clean  Air
    Act, this Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder.
         c.  The Agency shall assure, within such conditions,
    the use of terms, test methods, units, averaging periods,
    and  other  statistical  conventions  consistent with the
    applicable emission  limitations,  standards,  and  other
    requirements contained in the permit.
         d.  To meet the requirements of this subsection with
    respect to monitoring, the permit shall:
              i.  Incorporate  and  identify  all  applicable
         emissions monitoring and analysis procedures or test
         methods   required   under   the   Clean   Air  Act,
         regulations promulgated thereunder,  this  Act,  and
         applicable    Board   regulations,   including   any
         procedures and methods promulgated by USEPA pursuant
         to Section 504(b) or Section 114 (a)(3) of the Clean
         Air Act.
              ii.  Where the applicable requirement does  not
         require   periodic   testing   or   instrumental  or
         noninstrumental monitoring  (which  may  consist  of
         recordkeeping  designed  to  serve  as  monitoring),
         require  periodic  monitoring  sufficient  to  yield
         reliable  data from the relevant time period that is
         representative of the source's compliance  with  the
         permit,  as  reported  pursuant  to paragraph (f) of
         this  subsection.  The  Agency  may  determine  that
         recordkeeping requirements are  sufficient  to  meet
         the requirements of this subparagraph.
              iii.  As    necessary,   specify   requirements
         concerning   the   use,   maintenance,   and    when
         appropriate, installation of monitoring equipment or
         methods.
         e.  To meet the requirements of this subsection with
    respect  to  record keeping, the permit shall incorporate
    and identify all  applicable  recordkeeping  requirements
    and require, where applicable, the following:
              i.  Records  of required monitoring information
         that include the following:
                   A.  The date, place and time  of  sampling
              or measurements.
                   B.  The date(s) analyses were performed.
                   C.  The  company  or entity that performed
              the analyses.
                   D.  The analytical techniques  or  methods
              used.
                   E.  The results of such analyses.
                   F.  The  operating  conditions as existing
              at the time of sampling or measurement.
              ii.    Retention of records of  all  monitoring
         data  and  support  information  for  a period of at
         least 5  years  from  the  date  of  the  monitoring
         sample,   measurement,   report,   or   application.
         Support  information  includes  all  calibration and
         maintenance records, original strip-chart recordings
         for  continuous  monitoring   instrumentation,   and
         copies of all reports required by the permit.
         f.  To meet the requirements of this subsection with
    respect  to  reporting,  the permit shall incorporate and
    identify  all  applicable  reporting   requirements   and
    require the following:
              i.  Submittal   of   reports  of  any  required
         monitoring every 6 months.  More frequent submittals
         may be requested by the Agency  if  such  submittals
         are  necessary to assure compliance with this Act or
         regulations promulgated  by  the  Board  thereunder.
         All instances of deviations from permit requirements
         must  be  clearly  identified  in such reports.  All
         required reports must be certified by a  responsible
         official   consistent  with  subsection  5  of  this
         Section.
              ii.  Prompt reporting of deviations from permit
         requirements, including those attributable to  upset
         conditions  as  defined  in the permit, the probable
         cause of such deviations, and any corrective actions
         or preventive measures taken.
         g.  Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10  of
    this   Section  shall  include  a  condition  prohibiting
    emissions  exceeding  any  allowances  that  the   source
    lawfully holds under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or the
    regulations   promulgated   thereunder,  consistent  with
    subsection 17 of this Section and applicable regulations,
    if any.
         h.  All  CAAPP  permits  shall  state  that,   where
    another  applicable  requirement  of the Clean Air Act is
    more  stringent  than  any  applicable   requirement   of
    regulations  promulgated  under Title IV of the Clean Air
    Act, both  provisions  shall  be  incorporated  into  the
    permit and shall be State and federally enforceable.
         i.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
    this Section  shall  include  a  severability  clause  to
    ensure  the  continued  validity  of  the  various permit
    requirements in the event of a challenge to any  portions
    of the permit.
         j.  The following shall apply with respect to owners
    or operators requesting a permit shield:
              i.  The Agency shall include in a CAAPP permit,
         when requested by an applicant pursuant to paragraph
         5(p)  of  this  Section,  a  provision  stating that
         compliance with the conditions of the  permit  shall
         be  deemed  compliance  with applicable requirements
         which are applicable as of the date  of  release  of
         the proposed permit, provided that:
                   A.  The    applicable    requirement    is
              specifically identified within the permit; or
                   B.  The  Agency  in  acting  on  the CAAPP
              application or revision determines  in  writing
              that other requirements specifically identified
              are  not  applicable  to  the  source,  and the
              permit includes that determination or a concise
              summary thereof.
              ii.  The permit shall identify the requirements
         for which the source is shielded.  The shield  shall
         not  extend  to  applicable  requirements  which are
         promulgated  after  the  date  of  release  of   the
         proposed  permit unless the permit has been modified
         to reflect such new requirements.
              iii.  A CAAPP permit which does  not  expressly
         indicate  the existence of a permit shield shall not
         provide such a shield.
              iv.  Nothing in this paragraph or  in  a  CAAPP
         permit shall alter or affect the following:
                   A.  The    provisions   of   Section   303
              (emergency  powers)  of  the  Clean  Air   Act,
              including USEPA's authority under that section.
                   B.  The  liability of an owner or operator
              of a source for  any  violation  of  applicable
              requirements  prior to or at the time of permit
              issuance.
                   C.  The  applicable  requirements  of  the
              acid  rain  program  consistent  with   Section
              408(a) of the Clean Air Act.
                   D.  The   ability   of   USEPA  to  obtain
              information from a source pursuant  to  Section
              114 (inspections, monitoring, and entry) of the
              Clean Air Act.
         k.  Each  CAAPP  permit  shall  include an emergency
    provision providing an affirmative defense  of  emergency
    to    an    action   brought   for   noncompliance   with
    technology-based  emission  limitations  under  a   CAAPP
    permit  if  the  following  conditions  are  met  through
    properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
    relevant evidence:
              i.  An emergency occurred and the permittee can
         identify the cause(s) of the emergency.
              ii.  The  permitted  facility  was  at the time
         being properly operated.
              iii.  The permittee  submitted  notice  of  the
         emergency to the Agency within 2 working days of the
         time  when emission limitations were exceeded due to
         the emergency.  This notice must contain a  detailed
         description  of  the  emergency,  any steps taken to
         mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
              iv.  During the period  of  the  emergency  the
         permittee  took  all  reasonable  steps  to minimize
         levels  of  emissions  that  exceeded  the  emission
         limitations,  standards,  or  requirements  in   the
         permit.
         For  purposes  of this subsection, "emergency" means
    any  situation  arising  from   sudden   and   reasonably
    unforeseeable  events  beyond  the control of the source,
    such as an act of God, that requires immediate corrective
    action to restore normal operation, and that  causes  the
    source  to  exceed a technology-based emission limitation
    under  the  permit,  due  to  unavoidable  increases   in
    emissions  attributable  to  the emergency.  An emergency
    shall not include noncompliance to the extent  caused  by
    improperly   designed  equipment,  lack  of  preventative
    maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operation
    error.
         In  any  enforcement   proceeding,   the   permittee
    seeking  to  establish the occurrence of an emergency has
    the burden of proof.  This provision is  in  addition  to
    any   emergency  or  upset  provision  contained  in  any
    applicable requirement.  This provision does not  relieve
    a  permittee  of any reporting obligations under existing
    federal or state laws or regulations.
         l.  The Agency shall include in each  permit  issued
    under subsection 10 of this Section:
              i.  Terms   and   conditions   for   reasonably
         anticipated  operating  scenarios  identified by the
         source in its application.   The  permit  terms  and
         conditions  for  each  such operating scenario shall
         meet   all   applicable   requirements    and    the
         requirements of this Section.
                   A.  Under  this  subparagraph,  the source
              must record in a log at the permitted  facility
              a  record  of  the  scenario  under which it is
              operating  contemporaneously  with   making   a
              change from one operating scenario to another.
                   B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
              paragraph  7(j) of this Section shall extend to
              all  terms  and  conditions  under  each   such
              operating scenario.
              ii.  Where requested by an applicant, all terms
         and  conditions  allowing  for  trading of emissions
         increases and decreases between  different  emission
         units  at  the  CAAPP source, to the extent that the
         applicable requirements provide for trading of  such
         emissions   increases   and   decreases   without  a
         case-by-case approval of each emissions trade.  Such
         terms and conditions:
                   A.  Shall include all terms required under
              this subsection to determine compliance;
                   B.  Must meet all applicable requirements;
                   C.  Shall   extend   the   permit   shield
              described in paragraph 7(j) of this Section  to
              all   terms  and  conditions  that  allow  such
              increases and decreases in emissions.
         m.  The Agency shall specifically designate  as  not
    being  federally  enforceable under the Clean Air Act any
    terms and conditions included in the permit that are  not
    specifically  required under the Clean Air Act or federal
    regulations promulgated thereunder. Terms  or  conditions
    so  designated  shall  be subject to all applicable state
    requirements, except the  requirements  of  subsection  7
    (other  than this paragraph, paragraph q of subsection 7,
    subsections 8 through 11, and subsections 13  through  16
    of  this Section. The Agency shall, however, include such
    terms and conditions in the CAAPP permit  issued  to  the
    source.
         n.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
    this Section shall specify and reference  the  origin  of
    and  authority  for  each term or condition, and identify
    any difference in form  as  compared  to  the  applicable
    requirement upon which the term or condition is based.
         o.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
    this  Section  shall  include  provisions   stating   the
    following:
              i.  Duty  to comply.  The permittee must comply
         with all terms and conditions of the  CAAPP  permit.
         Any  permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of
         the Clean Air Act and the Act, and  is  grounds  for
         any  or  all  of the following:  enforcement action;
         permit termination, revocation  and  reissuance,  or
         modification;   or   denial   of  a  permit  renewal
         application.
              ii.  Need to halt  or  reduce  activity  not  a
         defense.   It shall not be a defense for a permittee
         in an enforcement action that  it  would  have  been
         necessary  to  halt or reduce the permitted activity
         in order to maintain compliance with the  conditions
         of this permit.
              iii.  Permit   actions.    The  permit  may  be
         modified,  revoked,  reopened,  and   reissued,   or
         terminated   for   cause   in  accordance  with  the
         applicable subsections of Section 39.5 of this  Act.
         The  filing  of  a  request  by  the permittee for a
         permit modification, revocation and  reissuance,  or
         termination, or of a notification of planned changes
         or  anticipated  noncompliance  does  not  stay  any
         permit condition.
              iv.  Property  rights.   The  permit  does  not
         convey  any  property  rights  of  any  sort, or any
         exclusive privilege.
              v.  Duty to provide information.  The permittee
         shall furnish to the Agency within a reasonable time
         specified by the Agency  any  information  that  the
         Agency  may  request in writing to determine whether
         cause exists for modifying, revoking and  reissuing,
         or terminating the permit or to determine compliance
         with  the permit.  Upon request, the permittee shall
         also  furnish  to  the  Agency  copies  of   records
         required   to   be   kept  by  the  permit  or,  for
         information  claimed   to   be   confidential,   the
         permittee may furnish such records directly to USEPA
         along with a claim of confidentiality.
              vi.  Duty  to pay fees.  The permittee must pay
         fees to the Agency consistent with the fee  schedule
         approved  pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section,
         and submit any information relevant thereto.
              vii.  Emissions trading.   No  permit  revision
         shall be required for increases in emissions allowed
         under  any  approved economic incentives, marketable
         permits,  emissions  trading,  and   other   similar
         programs  or processes for changes that are provided
         for in the permit and that  are  authorized  by  the
         applicable requirement.
         p.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
    this Section shall contain the  following  elements  with
    respect to compliance:
              i.  Compliance      certification,     testing,
         monitoring,   reporting,    and    record    keeping
         requirements  sufficient  to  assure compliance with
         the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  permit.    Any
         document  (including  reports)  required  by a CAAPP
         permit  shall   contain   a   certification   by   a
         responsible  official that meets the requirements of
         subsection  5  of  this   Section   and   applicable
         regulations.
              ii.  Inspection  and  entry  requirements  that
         necessitate  that,  upon presentation of credentials
         and other documents as may be required by law and in
         accordance  with  constitutional  limitations,   the
         permittee  shall  allow the Agency, or an authorized
         representative to perform the following:
                   A.  Enter upon  the  permittee's  premises
              where    a   CAAPP   source   is   located   or
              emissions-related  activity  is  conducted,  or
              where records must be kept under the conditions
              of the permit.
                   B.  Have access to and copy, at reasonable
              times, any records that must be kept under  the
              conditions of the permit.
                   C.  Inspect   at   reasonable   times  any
              facilities, equipment (including monitoring and
              air pollution control equipment), practices, or
              operations  regulated  or  required  under  the
              permit.
                   D.  Sample or monitor  any  substances  or
              parameters at any location:
                        1.  As  authorized  by  the Clean Air
                   Act, at reasonable times, for the purposes
                   of  assuring  compliance  with  the  CAAPP
                   permit or applicable requirements; or
                        2.  As otherwise authorized  by  this
                   Act.
              iii.  A  schedule of compliance consistent with
         subsection  5  of  this   Section   and   applicable
         regulations.
              iv.  Progress   reports   consistent   with  an
         applicable  schedule  of  compliance   pursuant   to
         paragraph   5(d)  of  this  Section  and  applicable
         regulations to be submitted  semiannually,  or  more
         frequently  if  the Agency determines that such more
         frequent submittals  are  necessary  for  compliance
         with the Act or regulations promulgated by the Board
         thereunder.  Such progress reports shall contain the
         following:
                   A.  Required   dates   for  achieving  the
              activities, milestones, or compliance  required
              by  the  schedule  of compliance and dates when
              such activities, milestones or compliance  were
              achieved.
                   B.  An explanation of why any dates in the
              schedule  of compliance were not or will not be
              met, and any preventive or corrective  measures
              adopted.
              v.  Requirements  for  compliance certification
         with terms and conditions contained in  the  permit,
         including  emission  limitations, standards, or work
         practices.   Permits  shall  include  each  of   the
         following:
                   A.  The   frequency   (annually   or  more
              frequently  as  specified  in  any   applicable
              requirement   or  by  the  Agency  pursuant  to
              written   procedures)   of    submissions    of
              compliance certifications.
                   B.  A  means  for  assessing or monitoring
              the compliance of the source with its emissions
              limitations, standards, and work practices.
                   C.  A  requirement  that  the   compliance
              certification include the following:
                        1.  The  identification  of each term
                   or condition contained in the permit  that
                   is the basis of the certification.
                        2.  The compliance status.
                        3.  Whether compliance was continuous
                   or intermittent.
                        4.  The     method(s)     used    for
                   determining the compliance status  of  the
                   source,   both   currently  and  over  the
                   reporting    period    consistent     with
                   subsection 7 of Section 39.5 of the Act.
                   D.  A   requirement  that  all  compliance
              certifications be submitted to USEPA as well as
              to the Agency.
                   E.  Additional  requirements  as  may   be
              specified  pursuant  to  Sections 114(a)(3) and
              504(b) of the Clean Air Act.
                   F.  Other provisions  as  the  Agency  may
              require.
         q.  If  the  owner  or  operator of CAAPP source can
    demonstrate  in  its  CAAPP  application,  including   an
    application  for  a  significant  modification,  that  an
    alternative  emission  limit  would be equivalent to that
    contained in the applicable Board regulations, the Agency
    shall include the alternative emission limit in the CAAPP
    permit, which  shall  supersede  supercede  the  emission
    limit  set forth in the applicable Board regulations, and
    shall include conditions that insure that  the  resulting
    emission limit is quantifiable, accountable, enforceable,
    and based on replicable procedures.
    8.  Public Notice; Affected State Review.
         a.  The  Agency  shall provide notice to the public,
    including  an  opportunity  for  public  comment  and   a
    hearing, on each draft CAAPP permit for issuance, renewal
    or significant modification, subject to Sections 7(a) and
    7.1 of this Act.
         b.  The  Agency  shall  prepare a draft CAAPP permit
    and a statement that sets forth  the  legal  and  factual
    basis  for  the  draft CAAPP permit conditions, including
    references to  the  applicable  statutory  or  regulatory
    provisions.   The  Agency shall provide this statement to
    any person who requests it.
         c.  The Agency shall give notice of each draft CAAPP
    permit to the applicant and to any affected State  on  or
    before  the  time  that the Agency has provided notice to
    the public, except as otherwise provided in this Act.
         d.  The Agency,  as  part  of  its  submittal  of  a
    proposed  permit  to  USEPA (or as soon as possible after
    the submittal for minor  permit  modification  procedures
    allowed  under  subsection  14  of  this  Section), shall
    notify USEPA and any affected State  in  writing  of  any
    refusal   of   the   Agency   to   accept   all   of  the
    recommendations for the proposed permit that an  affected
    State  submitted  during  the  public  or  affected State
    review period.  The notice  shall  include  the  Agency's
    reasons  for  not  accepting  the  recommendations.   The
    Agency is not required to accept recommendations that are
    not based on applicable requirements or the  requirements
    of this Section.
         e.  The  Agency  shall  make available to the public
    any CAAPP permit application, compliance plan  (including
    the  schedule of compliance), CAAPP permit, and emissions
    or compliance monitoring report.  If an owner or operator
    of a CAAPP  source  is  required  to  submit  information
    entitled to protection from disclosure under Section 7(a)
    or  Section  7.1 of this Act, the owner or operator shall
    submit such information separately.  The requirements  of
    Section  7(a)  or  Section 7.1 of this Act shall apply to
    such information, which shall not be included in a  CAAPP
    permit  unless  required by law.  The contents of a CAAPP
    permit shall not be entitled to protection under  Section
    7(a) or Section 7.1 of this Act.
         f.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
    procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
    Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    9.  USEPA Notice and Objection.
         a.  The Agency shall provide to USEPA for its review
    a  copy  of  each  CAAPP   application   (including   any
    application  for permit modification), statement of basis
    as provided in paragraph 8(b) of this  Section,  proposed
    CAAPP  permit,  CAAPP permit, and, if the Agency does not
    incorporate any affected  State's  recommendations  on  a
    proposed  CAAPP  permit,  a  written  statement  of  this
    decision   and   its   reasons   for  not  accepting  the
    recommendations, except as otherwise provided in this Act
    or by agreement with USEPA.  To the  extent  practicable,
    the  preceding  information shall be provided in computer
    readable format compatible with USEPA's national database
    management system.
         b.  The Agency shall not issue  the  proposed  CAAPP
    permit  if  USEPA  objects  in  writing within 45 days of
    receipt of the proposed CAAPP permit  and  all  necessary
    supporting information.
         c.  If  USEPA  objects in writing to the issuance of
    the proposed CAAPP permit within the 45-day  period,  the
    Agency  shall  respond  in  writing  and  may  revise and
    resubmit the proposed CAAPP permit  in  response  to  the
    stated  objection, to the extent supported by the record,
    within 90 days after the date of the objection.  Prior to
    submitting a revised permit to USEPA,  the  Agency  shall
    provide  the applicant and any person who participated in
    the public comment process, pursuant to subsection  8  of
    this  Section,  with  a  10-day  period to comment on any
    revision which the Agency is proposing  to  make  to  the
    permit  in  response  to  USEPA's objection in accordance
    with Agency procedures.
         d.  Any  USEPA  objection  under  this   subsection,
    according  to the Clean Air Act, will include a statement
    of reasons for the objection and  a  description  of  the
    terms and conditions that must be in the permit, in order
    to  adequately  respond to the objections.  Grounds for a
    USEPA objection include the failure  of  the  Agency  to:
    (1)  submit  the  items  and  notices required under this
    subsection; (2) submit any other information necessary to
    adequately review  the  proposed  CAAPP  permit;  or  (3)
    process  the  permit  under  subsection 8 of this Section
    except for minor permit modifications.
         e.  If USEPA does not object in writing to  issuance
    of  a  permit  under  this  subsection,  any  person  may
    petition  USEPA  within  60  days after expiration of the
    45-day review period to make such objection.
         f.  If the permit has not yet been issued and  USEPA
    objects  to  the  permit  as  a result of a petition, the
    Agency shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection
    has been resolved. The  Agency  shall  provide  a  10-day
    comment  period  in  accordance  with paragraph c of this
    subsection.  A  petition  does  not,  however,  stay  the
    effectiveness of a permit  or  its  requirements  if  the
    permit  was  issued after expiration of the 45-day review
    period and prior to a USEPA objection.
         g.  If  the  Agency  has  issued  a   permit   after
    expiration  of  the  45-day  review  period  and prior to
    receipt of a USEPA objection  under  this  subsection  in
    response  to a petition submitted pursuant to paragraph e
    of this subsection, the Agency may, upon  receipt  of  an
    objection  from  USEPA, revise and resubmit the permit to
    USEPA pursuant  to  this  subsection  after  providing  a
    10-day  comment  period in accordance with paragraph c of
    this subsection. If the Agency fails to submit a  revised
    permit  in response to the objection, USEPA shall modify,
    terminate or revoke the permit.  In any case, the  source
    will  not  be  in  violation  of  the requirement to have
    submitted a timely and complete application.
         h.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
    procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
    Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    10.  Final Agency Action.
         a.  The  Agency  shall  issue a CAAPP permit, permit
    modification, or permit renewal if all of  the  following
    conditions are met:
              i.  The  applicant has submitted a complete and
         certified   application   for   a   permit,   permit
         modification,  or  permit  renewal  consistent  with
         subsections 5 and 14 of this Section, as applicable,
         and applicable regulations.
              ii.  The  applicant  has  submitted  with   its
         complete  application an approvable compliance plan,
         including  a  schedule  for  achieving   compliance,
         consistent  with  subsection  5  of this Section and
         applicable regulations.
              iii.  The applicant has timely  paid  the  fees
         required  pursuant  to subsection 18 of this Section
         and applicable regulations.
              iv.  The Agency has received a  complete  CAAPP
         application  and,  if  necessary,  has requested and
         received additional information from  the  applicant
         consistent  with  subsection  5  of this Section and
         applicable regulations.
              v.  The Agency has complied with all applicable
         provisions  regarding  public  notice  and  affected
         State review consistent with subsection  8  of  this
         Section and applicable regulations.
              vi.  The  Agency  has  provided  a copy of each
         CAAPP application, or summary thereof,  pursuant  to
         agreement  with  USEPA  and  proposed  CAAPP  permit
         required  under  subsection  9  of  this  Section to
         USEPA, and USEPA has not objected to the issuance of
         the permit in accordance with the Clean Air Act  and
         40 CFR Part 70.
         b.  The  Agency  shall  have the authority to deny a
    CAAPP permit, permit modification, or permit  renewal  if
    the  applicant  has not complied with the requirements of
    paragraphs (a)(i)-(a)(iv) of this subsection or if  USEPA
    objects to its issuance.
         c. i.  Prior  to  denial  of  a CAAPP permit, permit
         modification, or permit renewal under this  Section,
         the   Agency  shall  notify  the  applicant  of  the
         possible denial and the reasons for the denial.
              ii.  Within  such  notice,  the  Agency   shall
         specify  an  appropriate date by which the applicant
         shall adequately respond  to  the  Agency's  notice.
         Such date shall not exceed 15 days from the date the
         notification  is  received  by  the  applicant.  The
         Agency may grant a  reasonable  extension  for  good
         cause shown.
              iii.  Failure  by  the  applicant to adequately
         respond by the date specified in the notification or
         by any granted extension date shall be  grounds  for
         denial of the permit.
              For purposes of obtaining judicial review under
         Sections  40.2  and 41 of this Act, the Agency shall
         provide to  USEPA  and  each  applicant,  and,  upon
         request,   to   affected   States,  any  person  who
         participated in the public comment process, and  any
         other person who could obtain  judicial review under
         Sections  40.2  and  41  of this Act, a copy of each
         CAAPP permit or notification of denial pertaining to
         that party.
         d.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
    procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
    Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    11.  General Permits.
         a.  The  Agency  may issue a general permit covering
    numerous similar sources, except for affected sources for
    acid deposition unless otherwise provided in  regulations
    promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
         b.  The   Agency  shall  identify,  in  any  general
    permit, criteria by which sources  may  qualify  for  the
    general permit.
         c.  CAAPP  sources  that would qualify for a general
    permit must apply for coverage under  the  terms  of  the
    general   permit   or  must  apply  for  a  CAAPP  permit
    consistent  with  subsection  5  of  this   Section   and
    applicable regulations.
         d.  The  Agency shall comply with the public comment
    and hearing provisions of this Section  as  well  as  the
    USEPA  and  affected  State  review  procedures  prior to
    issuance of a general permit.
         e.  When  granting  a  subsequent   request   by   a
    qualifying CAAPP source for coverage under the terms of a
    general  permit,  the  Agency  shall  not  be required to
    repeat the public notice  and  comment  procedures.   The
    granting  of such request shall not be considered a final
    permit action for purposes of judicial review.
         f.  The Agency may not issue  a  general  permit  to
    cover  any  discrete  emission  unit at a CAAPP source if
    another CAAPP permit covers emission units at the source.
         g.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
    procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
    Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    12.  Operational Flexibility.
         a.  An  owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
    changes at the CAAPP source  without  requiring  a  prior
    permit  revision,  consistent  with subparagraphs (a) (i)
    through (a) (iii) of this  subsection,  so  long  as  the
    changes  are  not  modifications  under  any provision of
    Title I of the Clean Air Act and they do not  exceed  the
    emissions  allowable  under the permit (whether expressed
    therein as a rate of  emissions  or  in  terms  of  total
    emissions),  provided  that  the owner or operator of the
    CAAPP source provides USEPA and the Agency  with  written
    notification as required below in advance of the proposed
    changes,  which  shall  be  a  minimum  of 7 days, unless
    otherwise  provided   by   the   Agency   in   applicable
    regulations regarding emergencies.  The owner or operator
    of  a  CAAPP source and the Agency shall each attach such
    notice to their copy of the relevant permit.
              i.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source  may
         make  Section  502 (b) (10) changes without a permit
         revision, if the changes are not modifications under
         any provision of Title I of the Clean  Air  Act  and
         the  changes  do  not exceed the emissions allowable
         under the permit (whether  expressed  therein  as  a
         rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions).
                   A.  For  each  such  change,  the  written
              notification  required  above  shall  include a
              brief description  of  the  change  within  the
              source,  the  date  on  which  the  change will
              occur, any change in emissions, and any  permit
              term  or condition that is no longer applicable
              as a result of the change.
                   B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
              paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall not  apply
              to   any   change   made   pursuant   to   this
              subparagraph.
              ii.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may
         trade  increases  and  decreases in emissions in the
         CAAPP source, where  the  applicable  implementation
         plan  provides  for  such  emission  trades  without
         requiring  a  permit  revision.   This  provision is
         available in those cases where the permit  does  not
         already provide for such emissions trading.
                   A.  Under  this  subparagraph (a)(ii), the
              written  notification  required   above   shall
              include  such information as may be required by
              the provision in the applicable  implementation
              plan authorizing the emissions trade, including
              at  a  minimum,  when the proposed changes will
              occur, a description of each such  change,  any
              change  in  emissions,  the permit requirements
              with which the source  will  comply  using  the
              emissions  trading provisions of the applicable
              implementation plan, and the pollutants emitted
              subject to the  emissions  trade.   The  notice
              shall  also  refer  to  the  provisions  in the
              applicable implementation plan with  which  the
              source   will   comply   and  provide  for  the
              emissions trade.
                   B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
              paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall not  apply
              to   any   change   made   pursuant   to   this
              subparagraph  (a)  (ii).    Compliance with the
              permit requirements that the source  will  meet
              using  the  emissions trade shall be determined
              according to the requirements of the applicable
              implementation plan authorizing  the  emissions
              trade.
              iii.  If  requested within a CAAPP application,
         the Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains
         terms and conditions, including all  terms  required
         under  subsection  7  of  this  Section to determine
         compliance, allowing for the  trading  of  emissions
         increases  and  decreases at the CAAPP source solely
         for   the    purpose    of    complying    with    a
         federally-enforceable    emissions   cap   that   is
         established in the permit independent  of  otherwise
         applicable requirements.  The owner or operator of a
         CAAPP  source shall include in its CAAPP application
         proposed replicable procedures and permit terms that
         ensure the emissions  trades  are  quantifiable  and
         enforceable.    The   permit   shall   also  require
         compliance with all applicable requirements.
                   A.  Under this subparagraph (a)(iii),  the
              written notification required above shall state
              when  the  change will occur and shall describe
              the changes in emissions that will  result  and
              how  these increases and decreases in emissions
              will comply with the terms  and  conditions  of
              the permit.
                   B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
              paragraph  7(j) of this Section shall extend to
              terms and conditions that allow such  increases
              and decreases in emissions.
         b.  An  owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
    changes that are  not  addressed  or  prohibited  by  the
    permit,  other  than  those  which  are  subject  to  any
    requirements  under  Title IV of the Clean Air Act or are
    modifications under any provisions  of  Title  I  of  the
    Clean  Air  Act, without a permit revision, in accordance
    with the following requirements:
              (i)  Each such change shall meet all applicable
         requirements and  shall  not  violate  any  existing
         permit term or condition;
              (ii)  Sources   must   provide  contemporaneous
         written notice to the Agency and USEPA of each  such
         change,   except   for   changes   that  qualify  as
         insignificant under provisions adopted by the Agency
         or the Board. Such  written  notice  shall  describe
         each  such change, including the date, any change in
         emissions, pollutants emitted,  and  any  applicable
         requirement  that  would  apply  as  a result of the
         change;
              (iii)  The change shall  not  qualify  for  the
         shield  described in paragraph 7(j) of this Section;
         and
              (iv)  The  permittee  shall   keep   a   record
         describing changes made at the source that result in
         emissions of a regulated air pollutant subject to an
         applicable   Clean  Air  Act  requirement,  but  not
         otherwise  regulated  under  the  permit,  and   the
         emissions resulting from those changes.
         c.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
    procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
    Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
    necessary to implement this subsection.

    13.  Administrative Permit Amendments.
         a.  The Agency shall take final action on a  request
    for  an administrative permit amendment within 60 days of
    receipt  of  the  request.    Neither   notice   nor   an
    opportunity  for  public and affected State comment shall
    be required for the Agency to incorporate such revisions,
    provided it designates the  permit  revisions  as  having
    been made pursuant to this subsection.
         b.  The  Agency  shall  submit a copy of the revised
    permit to USEPA.
         c.  For  purposes   of   this   Section   the   term
    "administrative permit amendment" shall be defined as:  a
    permit  revision  that  can accomplish one or more of the
    changes described below:
              i.  Corrects typographical errors;
              ii.  Identifies a change in the name,  address,
         or  phone  number  of  any  person identified in the
         permit, or provides a similar  minor  administrative
         change at the source;
              iii.  Requires   more  frequent  monitoring  or
         reporting by the permittee;
              iv.  Allows  for  a  change  in  ownership   or
         operational  control  of  a  source where the Agency
         determines that no other change  in  the  permit  is
         necessary,   provided   that   a  written  agreement
         containing a specific date for  transfer  of  permit
         responsibility,  coverage, and liability between the
         current and new permittees has been submitted to the
         Agency;
              v.  Incorporates  into  the  CAAPP  permit  the
         requirements  from  preconstruction  review  permits
         authorized under a USEPA-approved program,  provided
         the   program   meets   procedural   and  compliance
         requirements  substantially  equivalent   to   those
         contained in this Section;
              vi.  Incorporates into the CAAPP permit revised
         limitations or other requirements resulting from the
         application of an approved economic incentives rule,
         a  marketable  permits  rule  or  generic  emissions
         trading  rule,  where these rules have been approved
         by USEPA and  require  changes  thereunder  to  meet
         procedural  requirements substantially equivalent to
         those specified in this Section; or
              vii.  Any other type of change which USEPA  has
         determined  as  part  of  the  approved CAAPP permit
         program to be similar  to  those  included  in  this
         subsection.
         d.  The  Agency  shall,  upon  taking  final  action
    granting  a  request   for   an   administrative   permit
    amendment,   allow  coverage  by  the  permit  shield  in
    paragraph 7(j) of this Section for administrative  permit
    amendments  made  pursuant to subparagraph (c)(v) of this
    subsection  which  meet  the  relevant  requirements  for
    significant permit modifications.
         e.  Permit revisions  and  modifications,  including
    administrative   amendments   and   automatic  amendments
    (pursuant to Sections 408(b) and 403(d) of the Clean  Air
    Act  or regulations promulgated thereunder), for purposes
    of the acid rain portion of the permit shall be  governed
    by  the  regulations  promulgated  under  Title IV of the
    Clean Air Act.  Owners or operators of  affected  sources
    for  acid  deposition shall have the flexibility to amend
    their compliance plans as  provided  in  the  regulations
    promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
         f.  The  CAAPP  source  may  implement  the  changes
    addressed  in  the  request  for an administrative permit
    amendment immediately upon submittal of the request.
         g.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
    procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
    Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    14.  Permit Modifications.
         a.  Minor permit modification procedures.
              i.  The    Agency   shall   review   a   permit
         modification using the "minor  permit"  modification
         procedures only for those permit modifications that:
                   A.  Do    not   violate   any   applicable
              requirement;
                   B.  Do not involve significant changes  to
              existing      monitoring,     reporting,     or
              recordkeeping requirements in the permit;
                   C.  Do   not   require   a    case-by-case
              determination  of  an  emission  limitation  or
              other    standard,    or    a   source-specific
              determination  of   ambient   impacts,   or   a
              visibility or increment analysis;
                   D.  Do  not  seek to establish or change a
              permit term or condition for which there is  no
              corresponding  underlying requirement and which
              avoids an applicable requirement to  which  the
              source  would otherwise be subject.  Such terms
              and conditions include:
                        1.  A federally enforceable emissions
                   cap assumed to avoid classification  as  a
                   modification  under any provision of Title
                   I of the Clean Air Act; and
                        2.  An  alternative  emissions  limit
                   approved    pursuant    to     regulations
                   promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of the
                   Clean Air Act;
                   E.  Are   not   modifications   under  any
              provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and
                   F.  Are not required to be processed as  a
              significant modification.
              ii.  Notwithstanding  subparagraphs  (a)(i) and
         (b)(ii)   of   this   subsection,    minor    permit
         modification  procedures  may  be  used  for  permit
         modifications   involving   the   use   of  economic
         incentives, marketable permits,  emissions  trading,
         and  other  similar  approaches,  to the extent that
         such  minor  permit  modification   procedures   are
         explicitly    provided    for   in   an   applicable
         implementation plan or  in  applicable  requirements
         promulgated by USEPA.
              iii.  An  applicant requesting the use of minor
         permit  modification  procedures  shall   meet   the
         requirements  of  subsection  5  of this Section and
         shall include the following in its application:
                   A.  A  description  of  the  change,   the
              emissions  resulting  from  the change, and any
              new applicable requirements that will apply  if
              the change occurs;
                   B.  The source's suggested draft permit;
                   C.  Certification    by    a   responsible
              official, consistent  with  paragraph  5(e)  of
              this  Section  and applicable regulations, that
              the proposed modification  meets  the  criteria
              for use of minor permit modification procedures
              and a request that such procedures be used; and
                   D.  Completed  forms for the Agency to use
              to notify USEPA and affected States as required
              under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
              iv.  Within 5 working  days  of  receipt  of  a
         complete permit modification application, the Agency
         shall  notify  USEPA  and  affected  States  of  the
         requested  permit  modification  in  accordance with
         subsections 8 and 9 of  this  Section.   The  Agency
         promptly   shall  send  any  notice  required  under
         paragraph 8(d) of this Section to USEPA.
              v.  The Agency may not  issue  a  final  permit
         modification  until  after  the 45-day review period
         for USEPA or until USEPA  has  notified  the  Agency
         that  USEPA  will  not object to the issuance of the
         permit modification, whichever comes first, although
         the Agency can approve the permit modification prior
         to that  time.   Within  90  days  of  the  Agency's
         receipt  of  an  application  under the minor permit
         modification procedures or 15 days after the end  of
         USEPA's  45-day  review period under subsection 9 of
         this Section, whichever is later, the Agency shall:
                   A.  Issue  the  permit   modification   as
              proposed;
                   B.  Deny     the    permit    modification
              application;
                   C.  Determine    that    the     requested
              modification  does  not  meet  the minor permit
              modification criteria and  should  be  reviewed
              under  the significant modification procedures;
              or
                   D.  Revise the draft  permit  modification
              and  transmit  to USEPA the new proposed permit
              modification as required  by  subsection  9  of
              this Section.
              vi.  Any  CAAPP  source  may  make  the  change
         proposed    in   its   minor   permit   modification
         application  immediately   after   it   files   such
         application.   After  the  CAAPP  source  makes  the
         change  allowed by the preceding sentence, and until
         the Agency takes any of  the  actions  specified  in
         subparagraphs  (a)(v)(A)  through  (a)(v)(C) of this
         subsection, the source must  comply  with  both  the
         applicable requirements governing the change and the
         proposed  permit  terms and conditions.  During this
         time period, the source need  not  comply  with  the
         existing  permit  terms  and  conditions it seeks to
         modify.  If the source  fails  to  comply  with  its
         proposed  permit  terms  and  conditions during this
         time  period,  the   existing   permit   terms   and
         conditions  which it seeks to modify may be enforced
         against it.
              vii.  The permit shield under subparagraph 7(j)
         of this Section  may  not  extend  to  minor  permit
         modifications.
              viii.  If  a  construction  permit is required,
         pursuant  to  Section  39(a)   of   this   Act   and
         regulations  thereunder,  for a change for which the
         minor permit modification procedures are applicable,
         the source may request that the  processing  of  the
         construction permit application be consolidated with
         the  processing  of  the  application  for the minor
         permit modification.  In such cases, the  provisions
         of  this Section, including those within subsections
         5, 8, and 9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on
         such applications pursuant to subparagraph 14(a)(v).
         The source may make the proposed change  immediately
         after  filing  its  application for the minor permit
         modification.  Nothing in  this  subparagraph  shall
         otherwise  affect  the  requirements  and procedures
         applicable to construction permits.
         b.  Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications.
              i.  Where requested by an applicant within  its
         application,  the  Agency  shall process groups of a
         source's  applications  for  certain   modifications
         eligible  for   minor permit modification processing
         in accordance with the provisions of this  paragraph
         (b).
              ii.  Permit  modifications  may be processed in
         accordance with the procedures for group processing,
         for those modifications:
                   A.  Which  meet  the  criteria  for  minor
              permit    modification     procedures     under
              subparagraph 14(a)(i) of this Section; and
                   B.  That collectively are below 10 percent
              of  the emissions allowed by the permit for the
              emissions unit for which change  is  requested,
              20  percent  of  the  applicable  definition of
              major source set forth in subsection 2 of  this
              Section,  or  5  tons  per  year,  whichever is
              least.
              iii.  An applicant requesting the use of  group
         processing procedures shall meet the requirements of
         subsection  5  of this Section and shall include the
         following in its application:
                   A.  A  description  of  the  change,   the
              emissions  resulting  from  the change, and any
              new applicable requirements that will apply  if
              the change occurs.
                   B.  The source's suggested draft permit.
                   C.  Certification    by    a   responsible
              official consistent with paragraph 5(e) of this
              Section, that the proposed  modification  meets
              the   criteria  for  use  of  group  processing
              procedures and a request that  such  procedures
              be used.
                   D.  A  list  of the source's other pending
              applications awaiting group processing,  and  a
              determination    of   whether   the   requested
              modification,  aggregated  with   these   other
              applications,  equals  or exceeds the threshold
              set  under  subparagraph  (b)(ii)(B)  of   this
              subsection.
                   E.  Certification,     consistent     with
              paragraph  5(e),  that  the source has notified
              USEPA  of  the  proposed  modification.    Such
              notification   need   only   contain   a  brief
              description of the requested modification.
                   F.  Completed forms for the Agency to  use
              to notify USEPA and affected states as required
              under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
              iv.  On  a quarterly basis or within 5 business
         days of receipt of an application demonstrating that
         the aggregate of  a  source's  pending  applications
         equals  or  exceeds  the  threshold  level set forth
         within subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) of  this  subsection,
         whichever  is  earlier,  the  Agency  shall promptly
         notify USEPA and affected States  of  the  requested
         permit  modifications in accordance with subsections
         8 and 9 of this Section.  The Agency shall send  any
         notice required under paragraph 8(d) of this Section
         to USEPA.
              v.  The  provisions  of  subparagraph (a)(v) of
         this  subsection  shall   apply   to   modifications
         eligible  for  group  processing,  except  that  the
         Agency  shall  take  one of the actions specified in
         subparagraphs (a)(v)(A) through  (a)(v)(D)  of  this
         subsection   within  180  days  of  receipt  of  the
         application or 15 days  after  the  end  of  USEPA's
         45-day  review  period  under  subsection  9 of this
         Section, whichever is later.
              vi.  The provisions of subparagraph (a)(vi)  of
         this  subsection  shall  apply  to modifications for
         group processing.
              vii.  The provisions of paragraph 7(j) of  this
         Section  shall  not  apply to modifications eligible
         for group processing.
         c.  Significant Permit Modifications.
              i.  Significant modification  procedures  shall
         be  used  for  applications  requesting  significant
         permit modifications and for those applications that
         do  not qualify as either minor permit modifications
         or as administrative permit amendments.
              ii.  Every  significant  change   in   existing
         monitoring  permit  terms  or  conditions  and every
         relaxation    of    reporting    or    recordkeeping
         requirements shall  be  considered  significant.   A
         modification shall also be considered significant if
         in   the   judgment  of  the  Agency  action  on  an
         application for modification would require decisions
         to be made on technically  complex  issues.  Nothing
         herein  shall be construed to preclude the permittee
         from making changes  consistent  with  this  Section
         that  would  render existing permit compliance terms
         and conditions irrelevant.
              iii.  Significant  permit  modifications   must
         meet all the requirements of this Section, including
         those   for   applications  (including  completeness
         review), public participation,  review  by  affected
         States,  and  review  by USEPA applicable to initial
         permit issuance  and  permit  renewal.   The  Agency
         shall   take  final  action  on  significant  permit
         modifications within 9 months  after  receipt  of  a
         complete application.
         d.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
    procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
    Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    15.  Reopenings for Cause by the Agency.
         a.  Each   issued   CAAPP   permit   shall   include
    provisions specifying  the  conditions  under  which  the
    permit  will  be  reopened prior to the expiration of the
    permit.  Such revisions shall be made as expeditiously as
    practicable.   A  CAAPP  permit  shall  be  reopened  and
    revised under any  of  the  following  circumstances,  in
    accordance with procedures adopted by the Agency:
              i.  Additional requirements under the Clean Air
         Act  become  applicable  to a major CAAPP source for
         which 3 or more years remain on the original term of
         the permit.  Such a reopening shall be completed not
         later than 18 months after the promulgation  of  the
         applicable   requirement.    No   such  revision  is
         required if the effective date of the requirement is
         later than the date on which the permit  is  due  to
         expire.
              ii.  Additional  requirements (including excess
         emissions  requirements)  become  applicable  to  an
         affected source for acid deposition under  the  acid
         rain  program.   Excess emissions offset plans shall
         be deemed to be incorporated into  the  permit  upon
         approval by USEPA.
              iii.  The  Agency  or USEPA determines that the
         permit  contains  a   material   mistake   or   that
         inaccurate  statements were made in establishing the
         emissions standards, limitations, or other terms  or
         conditions of the permit.
              iv.  The  Agency  or  USEPA determines that the
         permit  must  be  revised  or  revoked   to   assure
         compliance with the applicable  requirements.
         b.  In  the  event  that  the Agency determines that
    there are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause,
    consistent with paragraph a of this subsection, it  shall
    file  a petition before the Board setting forth the basis
    for such revocation.  In any such proceeding, the  Agency
    shall  have  the  burden  of establishing that the permit
    should be revoked under the standards set forth  in  this
    Act  and the Clean Air Act.  Any such proceeding shall be
    conducted  pursuant  to  the   Board's   procedures   for
    adjudicatory  hearings  and  the  Board  shall render its
    decision within 120 days of the filing of  the  petition.
    The  Agency shall take final action to revoke and reissue
    a CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order.
         c.  Proceedings regarding a  reopened  CAAPP  permit
    shall  follow  the  same  procedures  as apply to initial
    permit issuance and shall affect only those parts of  the
    permit for which cause to reopen exists.
         d.  Reopenings   under   paragraph   (a)   of   this
    subsection shall not be initiated before a notice of such
    intent  is  provided to the CAAPP source by the Agency at
    least 30 days in advance of the date that the  permit  is
    to  be  reopened,  except  that  the Agency may provide a
    shorter time period in the case of an emergency.
         e.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
    procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
    Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    16.  Reopenings for Cause by USEPA.
         a.  When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate,
    modify,  or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant to
    subsection 15 of this Section,  and  thereafter  notifies
    the  Agency and the permittee of such finding in writing,
    the Agency shall forward to USEPA  and  the  permittee  a
    proposed  determination  of termination, modification, or
    revocation and reissuance as appropriate,  in  accordance
    with   paragraph  b  of  this  subsection.  The  Agency's
    proposed determination shall be in  accordance  with  the
    record,   the  Clean  Air  Act,  regulations  promulgated
    thereunder,  this   Act   and   regulations   promulgated
    thereunder.  Such proposed determination shall not affect
    the permit  or  constitute  a  final  permit  action  for
    purposes  of  this  Act or the Administrative Review Law.
    The  Agency  shall  forward  to   USEPA   such   proposed
    determination   within  90  days  after  receipt  of  the
    notification from USEPA. If additional time is  necessary
    to  submit  the  proposed determination, the Agency shall
    request a 90-day extension from USEPA  and  shall  submit
    the  proposed determination within 180 days of receipt of
    notification from USEPA.
              b. i.  Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA
         of a proposed determination to terminate  or  revoke
         and  reissue  the  permit,  the  Agency shall file a
         petition before  the  Board  setting  forth  USEPA's
         objection,  the permit record, the Agency's proposed
         determination,  and  the   justification   for   its
         proposed  determination.  The  Board shall conduct a
         hearing pursuant to the rules prescribed by  Section
         32  of this Act, and the burden of proof shall be on
         the Agency.
              ii.  After due consideration of the written and
         oral statements, the testimony  and  arguments  that
         shall be submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue
         and   enter   an  interim  order  for  the  proposed
         determination, which shall set forth all changes, if
         any,   required    in    the    Agency's    proposed
         determination.  The  interim order shall comply with
         the requirements for final orders as  set  forth  in
         Section 33 of this Act. Issuance of an interim order
         by  the  Board  under this paragraph, however, shall
         not affect the permit status and does not constitute
         a final action for  purposes  of  this  Act  or  the
         Administrative Review Law.
              iii.  The  Board  shall  cause  a  copy  of its
         interim order to be served upon all parties  to  the
         proceeding  as  well as upon USEPA. The Agency shall
         submit  the  proposed  determination  to  USEPA   in
         accordance with the Board's Interim Order within 180
         days after receipt of the notification from USEPA.
         c.  USEPA shall review the proposed determination to
    terminate, modify,  or  revoke  and  reissue  the  permit
    within 90 days of receipt.
              i.  When    USEPA    reviews    the    proposed
         determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
         does  not  object, the Board shall, within 7 days of
         receipt of USEPA's final approval, enter the interim
         order as a final  order.  The  final  order  may  be
         appealed  as  provided  by Title XI of this Act. The
         Agency shall take final action  in  accordance  with
         the Board's final order.
              ii.  When    USEPA    reviews   such   proposed
         determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
         objects, the Agency shall submit  USEPA's  objection
         and  the Agency's comments and recommendation on the
         objection to the  Board  and  permittee.  The  Board
         shall  review  its  interim  order  in  response  to
         USEPA's  objection  and  the  Agency's  comments and
         recommendation and issue a final order in accordance
         with Sections 32 and 33  of  this  Act.  The  Agency
         shall,   within   90  days  after  receipt  of  such
         objection,   respond   to   USEPA's   objection   in
         accordance with the Board's final order.
              iii.  When   USEPA   reviews   such    proposed
         determination  to  modify  and  objects,  the Agency
         shall,  within  90  days  after   receipt   of   the
         objection,  resolve  the  objection  and  modify the
         permit in accordance with USEPA's  objection,  based
         upon  the  record,  the  Clean  Air Act, regulations
         promulgated thereunder, this  Act,  and  regulations
         promulgated thereunder.
         d.  If  the  Agency  fails  to  submit  the proposed
    determination pursuant to paragraph a of this  subsection
    or  fails  to  resolve  any  USEPA  objection pursuant to
    paragraph c of this  subsection,  USEPA  will  terminate,
    modify, or revoke and reissue the permit.
         e.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
    procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
    Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
    necessary, to implement this subsection.

    17.  Title IV; Acid Rain Provisions.
         a.  The  Agency   shall   act   on   initial   CAAPP
    applications  for affected sources for acid deposition in
    accordance with this Section and Title V of the Clean Air
    Act and regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  except  as
    modified by Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations
    promulgated  thereunder.   The Agency shall issue initial
    CAAPP permits to the affected sources for acid deposition
    which shall become effective no earlier than  January  1,
    1995,  and which shall terminate on December 31, 1999, in
    accordance with this Section.  Subsequent  CAAPP  permits
    issued  to  affected sources for acid deposition shall be
    issued for a fixed term of 5 years. Title IV of the Clean
    Air Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, including
    but not limited to 40 C.F.R. Part 72, as now or hereafter
    amended, are applicable to  and  enforceable  under  this
    Act.
         b.  A   designated  representative  of  an  affected
    source for acid deposition  shall  submit  a  timely  and
    complete  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  application  and
    compliance  plan to the Agency, not later than January 1,
    1996, that meets the requirements of Titles IV and  V  of
    the  Clean  Air Act and regulations. The Agency shall act
    on  the  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  application   and
    compliance plan in accordance with this Section and Title
    V  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and  regulations promulgated
    thereunder, except as modified by Title IV of  the  Clean
    Air  Act  and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.  The
    Agency  shall  issue  the Phase II acid rain permit to an
    affected  source  for  acid  deposition  no  later   than
    December  31,  1997,  which  shall  become  effective  on
    January  1, 2000, in accordance with this Section, except
    as modified  by  Title  IV  and  regulations  promulgated
    thereunder;  provided  that the designated representative
    of the source submitted a timely and  complete  Phase  II
    permit application and compliance plan to the Agency that
    meets the requirements of Title IV and V of the Clean Air
    Act and regulations.
         c.  Each   Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  issued  in
    accordance with this subsection shall have a  fixed  term
    of  5 years. Except as provided in paragraph b above, the
    Agency shall issue or deny a Phase II  acid  rain  permit
    within  18 months of receiving a complete Phase II permit
    application and compliance plan.
         d.  A designated representative of a  new  unit,  as
    defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, shall submit
    a   timely   and  complete  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit
    application  and   compliance   plan   that   meets   the
    requirements  of Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act and
    its regulations. The Agency shall act on the  new  unit's
    Phase II acid rain permit application and compliance plan
    in  accordance with this Section and Title V of the Clean
    Air Act and its regulations, except as modified by  Title
    IV  of  the Clean Air Act and its regulations. The Agency
    shall reopen the new unit's CAAPP  permit  for  cause  to
    incorporate  the  approved  Phase  II acid rain permit in
    accordance with this Section.  The  Phase  II  acid  rain
    permit  for  the new unit shall become effective no later
    than the date required under Title IV of  the  Clean  Air
    Act and its regulations.
         e.  A   designated  representative  of  an  affected
    source for acid deposition  shall  submit  a  timely  and
    complete  Title  IV NOx permit application to the Agency,
    not  later  than  January  1,  1998,   that   meets   the
    requirements  of Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act and
    its regulations. The Agency shall  reopen  the  Phase  II
    acid  rain  permit for cause and incorporate the approved
    NOx provisions into the Phase II  acid  rain  permit  not
    later  than  January  1,  1999,  in  accordance with this
    Section, except as modified by Title IV of the Clean  Air
    Act   and   regulations   promulgated   thereunder.  Such
    reopening shall not affect the term of the Phase II  acid
    rain permit.
         f.  The  designated  representative  of the affected
    source for acid deposition shall renew the initial  CAAPP
    permit  and  Phase II acid rain permit in accordance with
    this Section and  Title  V  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and
    regulations promulgated thereunder, except as modified by
    Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations promulgated
    thereunder.
         g.  In  the  case  of  an  affected  source for acid
    deposition for which a complete Phase II acid rain permit
    application and compliance plan are timely received under
    this subsection,  the  complete  permit  application  and
    compliance  plan,  including amendments thereto, shall be
    binding   on   the   owner,   operator   and   designated
    representative, all affected units for acid deposition at
    the affected source, and any other unit,  as  defined  in
    Section  402  of the Clean Air Act, governed by the Phase
    II acid rain permit application and shall be  enforceable
    as an acid rain permit for purposes of Titles IV and V of
    the  Clean  Air  Act,  from the date of submission of the
    acid rain permit application until a Phase II  acid  rain
    permit is issued or denied by the Agency.
         h.  The  Agency  shall  not include or implement any
    measure  which  would  interfere  with  or   modify   the
    requirements  of  Title  IV  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  or
    regulations promulgated thereunder.
         i.  Nothing  in  this  Section shall be construed as
    affecting allowances or  USEPA's  decision  regarding  an
    excess emissions offset plan, as set forth in Title IV of
    the Clean Air Act or regulations promulgated thereunder.
              i.  No  permit  revision  shall be required for
         increases  in  emissions  that  are  authorized   by
         allowances   acquired  pursuant  to  the  acid  rain
         program, provided that such increases do not require
         a  permit  revision  under  any   other   applicable
         requirement.
              ii.  No  limit shall be placed on the number of
         allowances held by the source.  The source may  not,
         however,    use   allowances   as   a   defense   to
         noncompliance with any other applicable requirement.
              iii.  Any such allowance shall be accounted for
         according   to   the   procedures   established   in
         regulations promulgated under Title IV of the  Clean
         Air Act.
         j.  To  the  extent  that  the  federal  regulations
    promulgated  under Title IV, including but not limited to
    40 C.F.R. Part 72,  as  now  or  hereafter  amended,  are
    inconsistent  with  the  federal  regulations promulgated
    under Title V, the federal regulations promulgated  under
    Title IV shall take precedence.
         k.  The  USEPA may intervene as a matter of right in
    any permit appeal involving a Phase II acid  rain  permit
    provision or denial of a Phase II acid rain permit.
         l.  It  is  unlawful  for  any  owner or operator to
    violate any terms or conditions of a Phase II  acid  rain
    permit  issued  under  this  subsection,  to  operate any
    affected source for acid deposition except in  compliance
    with  a  Phase  II  acid rain permit issued by the Agency
    under this subsection, or to violate any other applicable
    requirements.
         m.  The designated  representative  of  an  affected
    source for acid deposition shall submit to the Agency the
    data   and  information  submitted  quarterly  to  USEPA,
    pursuant  to  40  CFR  75.64,   concurrently   with   the
    submission  to USEPA. The submission shall be in the same
    electronic format as specified by USEPA.
         n.  The  Agency  shall  act  on  any  petition   for
    exemption  of  a new unit or retired unit, as those terms
    are defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, from the
    requirements of the acid rain program in accordance  with
    Title IV of the Clean Air Act and its regulations.
         o.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
    procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
    Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
    necessary to implement this subsection.

    18.  Fee Provisions.
         a.  For each 12 month period after the date on which
    the USEPA approves or conditionally approves  the  CAAPP,
    but  in  no  event  prior  to  January  1, 1994, a source
    subject to this Section or excluded under subsection  1.1
    or  paragraph  3(c)  of  this Section, shall pay a fee as
    provided  in  this  part  (a)  of  this  subsection   18.
    However,  a  source  that  has  been  excluded  from  the
    provisions  of  this  Section  under  subsection  1.1  or
    paragraph  3(c)  of this Section because the source emits
    less  than  25  tons  per  year  of  any  combination  of
    regulated air pollutants shall  pay  fees  in  accordance
    with paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 9.6.
              i.  The  fee  for a source allowed to emit less
         than  100  tons  per  year  of  any  combination  of
         regulated air pollutants shall be $1,000 per year.
              ii.  The fee for a source allowed to  emit  100
         tons   or  more  per  year  of  any  combination  of
         regulated air pollutants, except for those regulated
         air pollutants excluded in paragraph 18(f)  of  this
         subsection, shall be as follows:
                   A.  The  Agency shall assess an annual fee
              of $13.50 per ton for the  allowable  emissions
              of  all regulated air pollutants at that source
              during the term  of  the  permit.   These  fees
              shall  be  used  by the Agency and the Board to
              fund the activities required by Title V of  the
              Clean  Air Act including such activities as may
              be carried out by other State or local agencies
              pursuant to paragraph (d) of  this  subsection.
              The  amount  of  such fee shall be based on the
              information supplied by the  applicant  in  its
              complete  CAAPP  permit  application  or in the
              CAAPP permit if the permit has been granted and
              shall be determined by the amount of  emissions
              that  the  source  is allowed to emit annually,
              provided  however,  that  no  source  shall  be
              required to pay an  annual  fee  in  excess  of
              $100,000.   The Agency shall provide as part of
              the  permit  application  form  required  under
              subsection 5 of this  Section  a  separate  fee
              calculation form which will allow the applicant
              to   identify   the   allowable  emissions  and
              calculate the fee for the term of  the  permit.
              In  no  event shall the Agency raise the amount
              of  allowable  emissions   requested   by   the
              applicant unless such increases are required to
              demonstrate  compliance  with  terms of a CAAPP
              permit.
                   Notwithstanding the above,  any  applicant
              may  seek  a  change  in its permit which would
              result in increases in allowable emissions  due
              to  an  increase  in  the hours of operation or
              production rates of an emission unit  or  units
              and  such a change shall be consistent with the
              construction   permit   requirements   of   the
              existing State permit  program,  under  Section
              39(a)  of this Act and applicable provisions of
              this Section.  Where a construction  permit  is
              required,  the Agency shall expeditiously grant
              such  construction   permit   and   shall,   if
              necessary, modify the CAAPP permit based on the
              same application.
                   B.  Except  for  the  first  year  of  the
              CAAPP,  the  applicant or permittee may pay the
              fee annually or  semiannually  for  those  fees
              greater than $5,000.
         b.  For  fiscal  year 1999 1996 and each fiscal year
    thereafter, to the extent that permit fees collected  and
    deposited  in the CAA Permit Fund during that fiscal year
    exceed 115% of the actual expenditures (excluding  permit
    fee  reimbursements)  from  the  CAA Permit Fund for that
    fiscal year (including lapse period spending), the excess
    shall be reimbursed to the permittees  in  proportion  to
    their  original  fee payments.  Such reimbursements shall
    be made during the next fiscal year and may  be  made  in
    the  form  of  a credit against that fiscal year's permit
    fee.
         c.  There shall be created a  CAA  Fee  Panel  of  5
    persons.  The Panel shall:
              i.  If  it  deems necessary on an annual basis,
         render advisory  opinions  to  the  Agency  and  the
         General  Assembly regarding the appropriate level of
         Title V Clean Air Act fees for the next fiscal year.
         Such advisory opinions shall be based on a study  of
         the  operations  of  the Agency and any other entity
         requesting appropriations from the CAA Permit  Fund.
         This  study  shall  recommend  changes  in  the  fee
         structure, if warranted.  The study will be based on
         the  ability  of  the  Agency  or  other  entity  to
         effectively  utilize  the funds generated as well as
         the entity's conformance  with  the  objectives  and
         measurable  benchmarks  identified  by the Agency as
         justification  for  the  prior  year's  fee.    Such
         advisory   opinions   shall   be  submitted  to  the
         appropriation committees no later than April 15th of
         each year.
              ii.  Not be compensated for their services, but
         shall receive reimbursement for their expenses.
              iii.  Be appointed as follows:   4  members  by
         the  Director  of  the Agency from a list of no more
         than 8  persons,  submitted  by  representatives  of
         associations who represent facilities subject to the
         provisions  of  this  subsection and the Director of
         the Agency or designee.
         d.  There is hereby created in the State Treasury  a
    special  fund  to be known as the "CAA Permit Fund".  All
    Funds collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection
    shall be deposited into the Fund.  The  General  Assembly
    shall appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and
    to  the  Board  to carry out their obligations under this
    Section.  The General Assembly may also authorize  monies
    to be granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State
    and  local  agencies  which perform duties related to the
    CAAPP. Interest generated on the monies deposited in this
    Fund shall be returned to the Fund. The General  Assembly
    may  appropriate  up  to the sum of $25,000 to the Agency
    from the CAA Permit Fund for use by the Panel in carrying
    out its responsibilities under this subsection.
         e.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
    procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
    Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
    necessary to implement this subsection.
         f.  For   purposes  of  this  subsection,  the  term
    "regulated air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to
    it under subsection 1 of this Section but  shall  exclude
    the following:
              i.  carbon monoxide;
              ii.  any  Class  I  or  II substance which is a
         regulated air pollutant solely because it is  listed
         pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act;
              iii.  any  pollutant  that  is  a regulated air
         pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard
         or regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean  Air
         Act  based  on  the  emissions allowed in the permit
         effective in that calendar year,  at  the  time  the
         applicable bill is generated; and
              iv.  during   the   years   1995  through  1999
         inclusive, any emissions from affected  sources  for
         acid deposition under Section 408(c)(4) of the Clean
         Air Act.

    19.  Air Toxics Provisions.
         a.  In  the event that the USEPA fails to promulgate
    in a timely manner a standard pursuant to Section  112(d)
    of the Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority
    to issue permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean
    Air  Act  and  regulations  promulgated thereunder, which
    contain emission limitations which are equivalent to  the
    emission  limitations  that would apply to a source if an
    emission standard had been promulgated in a timely manner
    by USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d).  Provided,  however,
    that  the  owner  or  operator of a source shall have the
    opportunity to submit to the Agency a  proposed  emission
    limitation  which  it  determines to be equivalent to the
    emission limitations that would apply to such  source  if
    an  emission  standard  had  been promulgated in a timely
    manner by USEPA.  If the Agency refuses  to  include  the
    emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator in
    a CAAPP permit, the owner or operator  may  petition  the
    Board   to  establish  whether  the  emission  limitation
    proposal submitted by the owner or operator provides  for
    emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission
    limitations  that  would  apply  to  the  source  if  the
    emission  standard  had  been  promulgated  by USEPA in a
    timely manner.  The Board  shall  determine  whether  the
    emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator or
    an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
    provides for the level of control required under  Section
    112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall otherwise establish an
    appropriate  emission limitation, pursuant to Section 112
    of the Clean Air Act.
         b.  Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a)
    or (e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to
    the Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and  the
    Board  shall  render  its decision within 120 days of the
    filing of the  petition.   Any  such  decision  shall  be
    subject  to  review   pursuant to Section 41 of this Act.
    Where USEPA promulgates an applicable  emission  standard
    prior  to  the  issuance  of the CAAPP permit, the Agency
    shall include in the  permit  the  promulgated  standard,
    provided that the source shall have the compliance period
    provided under Section 112(i) of the Clean Air Act. Where
    USEPA  promulgates  an  applicable standard subsequent to
    the issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall revise
    such  permit  upon  the  next  renewal  to  reflect   the
    promulgated standard, providing a reasonable time for the
    applicable  source  to  comply  with the standard, but no
    longer than 8 years after the date on which the source is
    first required to comply with  the  emissions  limitation
    established under this subsection.
         c.  The Agency shall have the authority to implement
    and   enforce  complete  or  partial  emission  standards
    promulgated by USEPA  pursuant  to  Section  112(d),  and
    standards  promulgated  by  USEPA  pursuant  to  Sections
    112(f),  112(h),  112(m),  and  112(n),  and  may  accept
    delegation  of  authority  from  USEPA  to  implement and
    enforce  Section  112(l)   and   requirements   for   the
    prevention  and detection of accidental releases pursuant
    to Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.
         d.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  issue
    permits  pursuant  to  Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air
    Act.
         e.  The  Agency  has  the  authority  to   implement
    Section  112(g)  of the Clean Air Act consistent with the
    Clean  Air  Act  and  federal   regulations   promulgated
    thereunder. If the Agency refuses to include the emission
    limitations  proposed  in  an application submitted by an
    owner or operator for a case-by-case  maximum  achievable
    control  technology  (MACT)  determination,  the owner or
    operator may petition the Board to determine whether  the
    emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator or
    an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
    provides for a level of control required by  Section  112
    of  the  Clean  Air  Act,  or  to  otherwise establish an
    appropriate emission limitation under Section 112 of  the
    Clean Air Act.

    20.  Small Business.

         the "Small Business Act";
              3.  is not a  major  source  as  that  term  is
         defined in subsection 2 of this Section;
              4.  does  not  emit 50 tons or more per year of
         any regulated air pollutant; and
              5.  emits less than 75 tons  per  year  of  all
         regulated pollutants.
         b.  The  Agency  shall  adopt  and  submit to USEPA,
    after  reasonable  notice  and  opportunity  for   public
    comment,   as   a   revision   to   the   Illinois  state
    implementation plan, plans for establishing the Program.
         c.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  enter

         e.  There  shall  be  appointed  a  Small   Business
    Ombudsman  (hereinafter in this subsection referred to as
    "Ombudsman") to monitor  the  Small  Business  Assistance
    Program.  The Ombudsman shall be a nonpartisan designated
    official,   with  the  ability  to  independently  assess
    whether the goals of the Program are being met.
         f.  The State Ombudsman Office shall be  located  in
    an  existing  Ombudsman office within the State or in any
    State Department.
         g.  There  is  hereby  created  a  State  Compliance
    Advisory Panel (hereinafter in this  subsection  referred
    to  as "Panel") for determining the overall effectiveness
    of the Small  Business  Assistance  Program  within  this
    State.
         h.  The  selection  of Panel members shall be by the
    following method:
              1.  The Governor shall select two  members  who
         are not owners or representatives of owners of small
         business stationary sources to represent the general
         public;
              2.  The Director of the Agency shall select one

         majority and minority leadership in both  Houses  of
         the  Legislature  shall  appoint  one  member of the
         panel.
         i.  Panel members should serve without  compensation
    but   will   receive   full  reimbursement  for  expenses
    including travel and per diem as authorized  within  this
    State.
         j.  The  Panel  shall  select  its  own  Chair  by a
    majority vote.  The Chair may meet and consult  with  the
    Ombudsman  and  the head of the Small Business Assistance
    Program in planning the activities for the Panel.

    21.  Temporary Sources.
         a.  The Agency may issue a single permit authorizing
    emissions from similar  operations  by  the  same  source
    owner or operator at multiple temporary locations, except
    for   sources   which   are  affected  sources  for  acid
    deposition under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
         b.  The  applicant   must   demonstrate   that   the
    operation  is  temporary  and  will  involve at least one
    change of location during the term of the permit.
         c.  Any  such  permit  shall  meet  all   applicable
    requirements  of this Section and applicable regulations,
    and  include  conditions  assuring  compliance  with  all
    applicable requirements at all authorized  locations  and
    requirements that the owner or operator notify the Agency
    at least 10 days in advance of each change in location.

    22.  Solid Waste Incineration Units.

    unit combusting  municipal  waste  subject  to  standards
    promulgated  under  Section  129(e)  of the Clean Air Act
    shall be issued for a period of 12  years  and  shall  be
    reviewed  every  5 years, unless the Agency requires more
    frequent review through Agency procedures.
         b.  During the  review  in  paragraph  (a)  of  this
    subsection,  the Agency shall fully review the previously
    submitted  CAAPP  permit  application  and  corresponding
    reports subsequently submitted to determine  whether  the
    source is in compliance with all applicable requirements.
         c.  If  the Agency determines that the source is not
    in compliance with all applicable requirements  it  shall
    revise the CAAPP permit as appropriate.
         d.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
