Section 807.213  Design, Operation, and Maintenance Criteria

a)         The Agency may adopt procedures which set forth criteria for the design, operation, and maintenance of solid waste managment sites and other procedures the Agency deems reasonably necessary to perform its duties under this Part and as are consistent with Subpart C thereof.  All such procedures shall be revised from time to time to reflect current engineering judgment and advances in the state of the art.  Such procedures and revisions thereto shall not become effective until filed with the Administrative Code Unit of the Office of the Secretary of State pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, as amended (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 127, pars. 1001, et seq.).

b)         Before adopting new criteria or making substantive changes to any criteria adopted by the Agency, the Agency shall:

1)         publish a summary of the proposed changes in the Board Newsletter; and

2)         provide a copy of full text of the proposed changes to all persons who hold Agency permits or have active applications pending, and any person who in writing so requests; and

3)         defer adoption of the changes for 60 days from the date of publication to allow submission and consideration of written comments on the proposed changes.
