Section 104.500  Purpose

a)         This Subpart sets forth procedures for obtaining a time-limited water quality standard (TLWQS).  A TLWQS provides relief from water quality standards as set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302 and 303. 

b)         For waters in the Great Lakes basin, petitioners must meet the requirements of both this Subpart and 40 CFR 132.  When regulations in this Subpart and 40 CFR 132 overlap, the more stringent regulation applies.

c)         This Subpart must be read in conjunction with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.  If the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101 and those of this Subpart conflict, the provisions of this Subpart apply.
