| ||||||
6 | Sec. 39. Issuance of permits; procedures.
| ||||||
7 | (a) When the Board has by regulation required a permit for
| ||||||
8 | the construction, installation, or operation of any type of | ||||||
9 | facility,
equipment, vehicle, vessel, or aircraft, the | ||||||
10 | applicant shall apply to
the Agency for such permit and it | ||||||
11 | shall be the duty of the Agency to
issue such a permit upon | ||||||
12 | proof by the applicant that the facility,
equipment, vehicle, | ||||||
13 | vessel, or aircraft will not cause a violation of
this Act or | ||||||
14 | of regulations hereunder. The Agency shall adopt such
| ||||||
15 | procedures as are necessary to carry out its duties under this | ||||||
16 | Section.
In making its determinations on permit applications | ||||||
17 | under this Section the Agency may consider prior adjudications | ||||||
18 | of
noncompliance with this Act by the applicant that involved | ||||||
19 | a release of a
contaminant into the environment. In granting | ||||||
20 | permits, the Agency
may impose reasonable conditions | ||||||
21 | specifically related to the applicant's past
compliance | ||||||
22 | history with this Act as necessary to correct, detect, or
| ||||||
23 | prevent noncompliance. The Agency may impose such other | ||||||
24 | conditions
as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of | ||||||
25 | this Act, and as are not
inconsistent with the regulations |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | promulgated by the Board hereunder. Except as
otherwise | ||||||
2 | provided in this Act, a bond or other security shall not be | ||||||
3 | required
as a condition for the issuance of a permit. If the | ||||||
4 | Agency denies any permit
under this Section, the Agency shall | ||||||
5 | transmit to the applicant within the time
limitations of this | ||||||
6 | Section specific, detailed statements as to the reasons the
| ||||||
7 | permit application was denied. Such statements shall include, | ||||||
8 | but not be
limited to the following:
| ||||||
9 | (i) the Sections of this Act which may be violated if | ||||||
10 | the permit
were granted;
| ||||||
11 | (ii) the provision of the regulations, promulgated | ||||||
12 | under this Act,
which may be violated if the permit were | ||||||
13 | granted;
| ||||||
14 | (iii) the specific type of information, if any, which | ||||||
15 | the Agency
deems the applicant did not provide the Agency; | ||||||
16 | and
| ||||||
17 | (iv) a statement of specific reasons why the Act and | ||||||
18 | the regulations
might not be met if the permit were | ||||||
19 | granted.
| ||||||
20 | If there is no final action by the Agency within 90 days | ||||||
21 | after the
filing of the application for permit, the applicant | ||||||
22 | may deem the permit
issued; except that this time period shall | ||||||
23 | be extended to 180 days when
(1) notice and opportunity for | ||||||
24 | public hearing are required by State or
federal law or | ||||||
25 | regulation, (2) the application which was filed is for
any | ||||||
26 | permit to develop a landfill subject to issuance pursuant to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this
subsection, or (3) the application that was filed is for a | ||||||
2 | MSWLF unit
required to issue public notice under subsection | ||||||
3 | (p) of Section 39. The
90-day and 180-day time periods for the | ||||||
4 | Agency to take final action do not
apply to NPDES permit | ||||||
5 | applications under subsection (b) of this Section,
to RCRA | ||||||
6 | permit applications under subsection (d) of this Section,
to | ||||||
7 | UIC permit applications under subsection (e) of this Section, | ||||||
8 | or to CCR surface impoundment applications under subsection | ||||||
9 | (y) of this Section.
| ||||||
10 | The Agency shall publish notice of all final permit | ||||||
11 | determinations for
development permits for MSWLF units and for | ||||||
12 | significant permit modifications
for lateral expansions for | ||||||
13 | existing MSWLF units one time in a newspaper of
general | ||||||
14 | circulation in the county in which the unit is or is proposed | ||||||
15 | to be
located.
| ||||||
16 | After January 1, 1994 and until July 1, 1998, operating | ||||||
17 | permits issued under
this Section by the
Agency for sources of | ||||||
18 | air pollution permitted to emit less than 25 tons
per year of | ||||||
19 | any combination of regulated air pollutants, as defined in
| ||||||
20 | Section 39.5 of this Act, shall be required to be renewed only | ||||||
21 | upon written
request by the Agency consistent with applicable | ||||||
22 | provisions of this Act and
regulations promulgated hereunder. | ||||||
23 | Such operating permits shall expire
180 days after the date of | ||||||
24 | such a request. The Board shall revise its
regulations for the | ||||||
25 | existing State air pollution operating permit program
| ||||||
26 | consistent with this provision by January 1, 1994.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | After June 30, 1998, operating permits issued under this | ||||||
2 | Section by the
Agency for sources of air pollution that are not | ||||||
3 | subject to Section 39.5 of
this Act and are not required to | ||||||
4 | have a federally enforceable State operating
permit shall be | ||||||
5 | required to be renewed only upon written request by the Agency
| ||||||
6 | consistent with applicable provisions of this Act and its | ||||||
7 | rules. Such
operating permits shall expire 180 days after the | ||||||
8 | date of such a request.
Before July 1, 1998, the Board shall | ||||||
9 | revise its rules for the existing State
air pollution | ||||||
10 | operating permit program consistent with this paragraph and | ||||||
11 | shall
adopt rules that require a source to demonstrate that it | ||||||
12 | qualifies for a permit
under this paragraph.
| ||||||
13 | (b) The Agency may issue NPDES permits exclusively under | ||||||
14 | this
subsection for the discharge of contaminants from point | ||||||
15 | sources into
navigable waters, all as defined in the Federal | ||||||
16 | Water Pollution Control
Act, as now or hereafter amended, | ||||||
17 | within the jurisdiction of the
State, or into any well.
| ||||||
18 | All NPDES permits shall contain those terms and | ||||||
19 | conditions, including ,
but not limited to , schedules of | ||||||
20 | compliance, which may be required to
accomplish the purposes | ||||||
21 | and provisions of this Act.
| ||||||
22 | The Agency may issue general NPDES permits for discharges | ||||||
23 | from categories
of point sources which are subject to the same | ||||||
24 | permit limitations and
conditions. Such general permits may be | ||||||
25 | issued without individual
applications and shall conform to | ||||||
26 | regulations promulgated under Section 402
of the Federal Water |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Pollution Control Act, as now or hereafter amended.
| ||||||
2 | The Agency may include, among such conditions, effluent | ||||||
3 | limitations
and other requirements established under this Act, | ||||||
4 | Board regulations,
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as | ||||||
5 | now or hereafter amended, and
regulations pursuant thereto, | ||||||
6 | and schedules for achieving compliance
therewith at the | ||||||
7 | earliest reasonable date.
| ||||||
8 | The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures | ||||||
9 | which are
necessary and appropriate for the issuance of NPDES | ||||||
10 | permits, and which
are consistent with the Act or regulations | ||||||
11 | adopted by the Board, and
with the Federal Water Pollution | ||||||
12 | Control Act, as now or hereafter
amended, and regulations | ||||||
13 | pursuant thereto.
| ||||||
14 | The Agency, subject to any conditions which may be | ||||||
15 | prescribed by
Board regulations, may issue NPDES permits to | ||||||
16 | allow discharges beyond
deadlines established by this Act or | ||||||
17 | by regulations of the Board without
the requirement of a | ||||||
18 | variance, subject to the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, | ||||||
19 | as now or hereafter amended, and regulations pursuant thereto.
| ||||||
20 | (c) Except for those facilities owned or operated by | ||||||
21 | sanitary districts
organized under the Metropolitan Water | ||||||
22 | Reclamation District Act, no
permit for the development or | ||||||
23 | construction of a new pollution control
facility may be | ||||||
24 | granted by the Agency unless the applicant submits proof to | ||||||
25 | the
Agency that the location of the facility has been approved | ||||||
26 | by the county board County Board
of the county if in an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unincorporated area, or the governing body of the
municipality | ||||||
2 | when in an incorporated area, in which the facility is to be
| ||||||
3 | located in accordance with Section 39.2 of this Act. For | ||||||
4 | purposes of this subsection (c), and for purposes of Section | ||||||
5 | 39.2 of this Act, the appropriate county board or governing | ||||||
6 | body of the municipality shall be the county board of the | ||||||
7 | county or the governing body of the municipality in which the | ||||||
8 | facility is to be located as of the date when the application | ||||||
9 | for siting approval is filed.
| ||||||
10 | In the event that siting approval granted pursuant to | ||||||
11 | Section 39.2 has
been transferred to a subsequent owner or | ||||||
12 | operator, that subsequent owner or
operator may apply to the | ||||||
13 | Agency for, and the Agency may grant, a development
or | ||||||
14 | construction permit for the facility for which local siting | ||||||
15 | approval was
granted. Upon application to the Agency for a | ||||||
16 | development or
construction permit by that subsequent owner or | ||||||
17 | operator,
the permit applicant shall cause written notice of | ||||||
18 | the permit application
to be served upon the appropriate | ||||||
19 | county board or governing body of the
municipality that | ||||||
20 | granted siting approval for that facility and upon any party
| ||||||
21 | to the siting proceeding pursuant to which siting approval was | ||||||
22 | granted. In
that event, the Agency shall conduct an evaluation | ||||||
23 | of the subsequent owner or
operator's prior experience in | ||||||
24 | waste management operations in the manner
conducted under | ||||||
25 | subsection (i) of Section 39 of this Act.
| ||||||
26 | Beginning August 20, 1993, if the pollution control |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | facility consists of a
hazardous or solid waste disposal | ||||||
2 | facility for which the proposed site is
located in an | ||||||
3 | unincorporated area of a county with a population of less than
| ||||||
4 | 100,000 and includes all or a portion of a parcel of land that | ||||||
5 | was, on April 1,
1993, adjacent to a municipality having a | ||||||
6 | population of less than 5,000, then
the local siting review | ||||||
7 | required under this subsection (c) in conjunction with
any | ||||||
8 | permit applied for after that date shall be performed by the | ||||||
9 | governing body
of that adjacent municipality rather than the | ||||||
10 | county board of the county in
which the proposed site is | ||||||
11 | located; and for the purposes of that local siting
review, any | ||||||
12 | references in this Act to the county board shall be deemed to | ||||||
13 | mean
the governing body of that adjacent municipality; | ||||||
14 | provided, however, that the
provisions of this paragraph shall | ||||||
15 | not apply to any proposed site which was, on
April 1, 1993, | ||||||
16 | owned in whole or in part by another municipality.
| ||||||
17 | In the case of a pollution control facility for which a
| ||||||
18 | development permit was issued before November 12, 1981, if an | ||||||
19 | operating
permit has not been issued by the Agency prior to | ||||||
20 | August 31, 1989 for
any portion of the facility, then the | ||||||
21 | Agency may not issue or renew any
development permit nor issue | ||||||
22 | an original operating permit for any portion of
such facility | ||||||
23 | unless the applicant has submitted proof to the Agency that | ||||||
24 | the
location of the facility has been approved by the | ||||||
25 | appropriate county board or
municipal governing body pursuant | ||||||
26 | to Section 39.2 of this Act.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | After January 1, 1994, if a solid waste
disposal facility, | ||||||
2 | any portion for which an operating permit has been issued by
| ||||||
3 | the Agency, has not accepted waste disposal for 5 or more | ||||||
4 | consecutive calendar calendars
years, before that facility may | ||||||
5 | accept any new or additional waste for
disposal, the owner and | ||||||
6 | operator must obtain a new operating permit under this
Act for | ||||||
7 | that facility unless the owner and operator have applied to | ||||||
8 | the Agency
for a permit authorizing the temporary suspension | ||||||
9 | of waste acceptance. The
Agency may not issue a new operation | ||||||
10 | permit under this Act for the facility
unless the applicant | ||||||
11 | has submitted proof to the Agency that the location of the
| ||||||
12 | facility has been approved or re-approved by the appropriate | ||||||
13 | county board or
municipal governing body under Section 39.2 of | ||||||
14 | this Act after the facility
ceased accepting waste.
| ||||||
15 | Except for those facilities owned or operated by sanitary | ||||||
16 | districts
organized under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation | ||||||
17 | District Act, and
except for new pollution control facilities | ||||||
18 | governed by Section 39.2,
and except for fossil fuel mining | ||||||
19 | facilities, the granting of a permit under
this Act shall not | ||||||
20 | relieve the applicant from meeting and securing all
necessary | ||||||
21 | zoning approvals from the unit of government having zoning
| ||||||
22 | jurisdiction over the proposed facility.
| ||||||
23 | Before beginning construction on any new sewage treatment | ||||||
24 | plant or sludge
drying site to be owned or operated by a | ||||||
25 | sanitary district organized under
the Metropolitan Water | ||||||
26 | Reclamation District Act for which a new
permit (rather than |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the renewal or amendment of an existing permit) is
required, | ||||||
2 | such sanitary district shall hold a public hearing within the
| ||||||
3 | municipality within which the proposed facility is to be | ||||||
4 | located, or within the
nearest community if the proposed | ||||||
5 | facility is to be located within an
unincorporated area, at | ||||||
6 | which information concerning the proposed facility
shall be | ||||||
7 | made available to the public, and members of the public shall | ||||||
8 | be given
the opportunity to express their views concerning the | ||||||
9 | proposed facility.
| ||||||
10 | The Agency may issue a permit for a municipal waste | ||||||
11 | transfer station
without requiring approval pursuant to | ||||||
12 | Section 39.2 provided that the following
demonstration is | ||||||
13 | made:
| ||||||
14 | (1) the municipal waste transfer station was in | ||||||
15 | existence on or before
January 1, 1979 and was in | ||||||
16 | continuous operation from January 1, 1979 to January
1, | ||||||
17 | 1993;
| ||||||
18 | (2) the operator submitted a permit application to the | ||||||
19 | Agency to develop
and operate the municipal waste transfer | ||||||
20 | station during April of 1994;
| ||||||
21 | (3) the operator can demonstrate that the county board | ||||||
22 | of the county, if
the municipal waste transfer station is | ||||||
23 | in an unincorporated area, or the
governing body of the | ||||||
24 | municipality, if the station is in an incorporated area,
| ||||||
25 | does not object to resumption of the operation of the | ||||||
26 | station; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) the site has local zoning approval.
| ||||||
2 | (d) The Agency may issue RCRA permits exclusively under | ||||||
3 | this
subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for | ||||||
4 | the treatment,
storage, or disposal of hazardous waste as | ||||||
5 | defined under this Act. Subsection (y) of this Section, rather | ||||||
6 | than this subsection (d), shall apply to permits issued for | ||||||
7 | CCR surface impoundments.
| ||||||
8 | All RCRA permits shall contain those terms and conditions, | ||||||
9 | including , but
not limited to , schedules of compliance, which | ||||||
10 | may be required to accomplish
the purposes and provisions of | ||||||
11 | this Act. The Agency may include among such

12 | standards and other requirements established under this Act,
| ||||||
13 | Board regulations, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act | ||||||
14 | of 1976 (P.L.
94-580), as amended, and regulations pursuant | ||||||
15 | thereto, and may include
schedules for achieving compliance | ||||||
16 | therewith as soon as possible. The
Agency shall require that a | ||||||
17 | performance bond or other security be provided
as a condition | ||||||
18 | for the issuance of a RCRA permit.
| ||||||
19 | In the case of a permit to operate a hazardous waste or PCB | ||||||
20 | incinerator
as defined in subsection (k) of Section 44, the | ||||||
21 | Agency shall require, as a
condition of the permit, that the | ||||||
22 | operator of the facility perform such
analyses of the waste to | ||||||
23 | be incinerated as may be necessary and appropriate
to ensure | ||||||
24 | the safe operation of the incinerator.
| ||||||
25 | The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures | ||||||
26 | which
are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of RCRA |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | permits, and which
are consistent with the Act or regulations | ||||||
2 | adopted by the Board, and with
the Resource Conservation and | ||||||
3 | Recovery Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-580), as
amended, and | ||||||
4 | regulations pursuant thereto.
| ||||||
5 | The applicant shall make available to the public for | ||||||
6 | inspection all
documents submitted by the applicant to the | ||||||
7 | Agency in furtherance
of an application, with the exception of | ||||||
8 | trade secrets, at the office of
the county board or governing | ||||||
9 | body of the municipality. Such documents
may be copied upon | ||||||
10 | payment of the actual cost of reproduction during regular
| ||||||
11 | business hours of the local office. The Agency shall issue a | ||||||
12 | written statement
concurrent with its grant or denial of the | ||||||
13 | permit explaining the basis for its
decision.
| ||||||
14 | (e) The Agency may issue UIC permits exclusively under | ||||||
15 | this
subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for | ||||||
16 | the underground
injection of contaminants as defined under | ||||||
17 | this Act.
| ||||||
18 | All UIC permits shall contain those terms and conditions, | ||||||
19 | including , but
not limited to , schedules of compliance, which | ||||||
20 | may be required to accomplish
the purposes and provisions of | ||||||
21 | this Act. The Agency may include among such
conditions | ||||||
22 | standards and other requirements established under this Act,
| ||||||
23 | Board regulations, the Safe Drinking Water Act (P.L. 93-523), | ||||||
24 | as amended,
and regulations pursuant thereto, and may include | ||||||
25 | schedules for achieving

9 | Agency in furtherance of an
application, with the exception of | ||||||
10 | trade secrets, at the office of the county
board or governing | ||||||
11 | body of the municipality. Such documents may be copied upon
| ||||||
12 | payment of the actual cost of reproduction during regular | ||||||
13 | business hours of the
local office. The Agency shall issue a | ||||||
14 | written statement concurrent with its
grant or denial of the | ||||||
15 | permit explaining the basis for its decision.
| ||||||
16 | (f) In making any determination pursuant to Section 9.1 of | ||||||
17 | this Act:
| ||||||
18 | (1) The Agency shall have authority to make the | ||||||
19 | determination of any
question required to be determined by | ||||||
20 | the Clean Air Act, as now or
hereafter amended, this Act, | ||||||
21 | or the regulations of the Board, including the
| ||||||
22 | determination of the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate, | ||||||
23 | Maximum Achievable
Control Technology, or Best Available | ||||||
24 | Control Technology, consistent with the
Board's | ||||||
25 | regulations, if any.
| ||||||
26 | (2) The Agency shall adopt requirements as necessary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to implement public participation procedures, including, | ||||||
2 | but not limited to, public notice, comment, and an | ||||||
3 | opportunity for hearing, which must accompany the | ||||||
4 | processing of applications for PSD permits. The Agency | ||||||
5 | shall briefly describe and respond to all significant | ||||||
6 | comments on the draft permit raised during the public | ||||||
7 | comment period or during any hearing. The Agency may group | ||||||
8 | related comments together and provide one unified response | ||||||
9 | for each issue raised. | ||||||
10 | (3) Any complete permit application submitted to the | ||||||
11 | Agency under this subsection for a PSD permit shall be | ||||||
12 | granted or denied by the Agency not later than one year | ||||||
13 | after the filing of such completed application. | ||||||
14 | (4) The Agency shall, after conferring with the | ||||||
15 | applicant, give written
notice to the applicant of its | ||||||
16 | proposed decision on the application , including
the terms | ||||||
17 | and conditions of the permit to be issued and the facts, | ||||||
18 | conduct ,
or other basis upon which the Agency will rely to | ||||||
19 | support its proposed action.
| ||||||
20 | (g) The Agency shall include as conditions upon all | ||||||
21 | permits issued for
hazardous waste disposal sites such | ||||||
22 | restrictions upon the future use
of such sites as are | ||||||
23 | reasonably necessary to protect public health and
the | ||||||
24 | environment, including permanent prohibition of the use of | ||||||
25 | such
sites for purposes which may create an unreasonable risk | ||||||
26 | of injury to human
health or to the environment. After |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administrative and judicial challenges
to such restrictions | ||||||
2 | have been exhausted, the Agency shall file such
restrictions | ||||||
3 | of record in the Office of the Recorder of the county in which
| ||||||
4 | the hazardous waste disposal site is located.
| ||||||
5 | (h) A hazardous waste stream may not be deposited in a | ||||||
6 | permitted hazardous
waste site unless specific authorization | ||||||
7 | is obtained from the Agency by the
generator and disposal site | ||||||
8 | owner and operator for the deposit of that specific
hazardous | ||||||
9 | waste stream. The Agency may grant specific authorization for
| ||||||
10 | disposal of hazardous waste streams only after the generator | ||||||
11 | has reasonably
demonstrated that, considering
technological | ||||||
12 | feasibility and economic reasonableness, the hazardous waste
| ||||||
13 | cannot be reasonably recycled for reuse, nor incinerated or | ||||||
14 | chemically,
physically or biologically treated so as to | ||||||
15 | neutralize the hazardous waste
and render it nonhazardous. In | ||||||
16 | granting authorization under this Section,
the Agency may | ||||||
17 | impose such conditions as may be necessary to accomplish
the | ||||||
18 | purposes of the Act and are consistent with this Act and | ||||||
19 | regulations
promulgated by the Board hereunder. If the Agency | ||||||
20 | refuses to grant
authorization under this Section, the | ||||||
21 | applicant may appeal as if the Agency
refused to grant a | ||||||
22 | permit, pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of
| ||||||
23 | Section 40 of this Act. For purposes of this subsection (h), | ||||||
24 | the term
"generator" has the meaning given in Section 3.205 of | ||||||
25 | this Act,
unless: (1) the hazardous waste is treated, | ||||||
26 | incinerated, or partially recycled
for reuse prior to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | disposal, in which case the last person who treats,
| ||||||
2 | incinerates, or partially recycles the hazardous waste prior | ||||||
3 | to disposal is the
generator; or (2) the hazardous waste is | ||||||
4 | from a response action, in which case
the person performing | ||||||
5 | the response action is the generator. This subsection
(h) does | ||||||
6 | not apply to any hazardous waste that is restricted from land | ||||||
7 | disposal
under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
| ||||||
8 | (i) Before issuing any RCRA permit, any permit for a waste | ||||||
9 | storage site,
sanitary landfill, waste disposal site, waste | ||||||
10 | transfer station, waste treatment
facility, waste incinerator, | ||||||
11 | or any waste-transportation operation, any permit or interim | ||||||
12 | authorization for a clean construction or demolition debris | ||||||
13 | fill operation, or any permit required under subsection (d-5) | ||||||
14 | of Section 55, the Agency
shall conduct an evaluation of the | ||||||
15 | prospective owner's or operator's prior
experience in waste | ||||||
16 | management operations, clean construction or demolition debris | ||||||
17 | fill operations, and tire storage site management. The Agency | ||||||
18 | may deny such a permit, or deny or revoke interim | ||||||
19 | authorization,
if the prospective owner or operator or any | ||||||
20 | employee or officer of the
prospective owner or operator has a | ||||||
21 | history of:
| ||||||
22 | (1) repeated violations of federal, State, or local | ||||||
23 | laws, regulations,
standards, or ordinances in the | ||||||
24 | operation of waste management facilities or
sites, clean | ||||||
25 | construction or demolition debris fill operation | ||||||
26 | facilities or sites, or tire storage sites; or
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) conviction in this or another State of any crime | ||||||
2 | which is a felony
under the laws of this State, or | ||||||
3 | conviction of a felony in a federal court; or conviction | ||||||
4 | in this or another state or federal court of any of the | ||||||
5 | following crimes: forgery, official misconduct, bribery, | ||||||
6 | perjury, or knowingly submitting false information under | ||||||
7 | any environmental law, regulation, or permit term or | ||||||
8 | condition; or
| ||||||
9 | (3) proof of gross carelessness or incompetence in | ||||||
10 | handling, storing,
processing, transporting or disposing | ||||||
11 | of waste, clean construction or demolition debris, or used | ||||||
12 | or waste tires, or proof of gross carelessness or | ||||||
13 | incompetence in using clean construction or demolition | ||||||
14 | debris as fill.
| ||||||
15 | (i-5) Before issuing any permit or approving any interim | ||||||
16 | authorization for a clean construction or demolition debris | ||||||
17 | fill operation in which any ownership interest is transferred | ||||||
18 | between January 1, 2005, and the effective date of the | ||||||
19 | prohibition set forth in Section 22.52 of this Act, the Agency | ||||||
20 | shall conduct an evaluation of the operation if any previous | ||||||
21 | activities at the site or facility may have caused or allowed | ||||||
22 | contamination of the site. It shall be the responsibility of | ||||||
23 | the owner or operator seeking the permit or interim | ||||||
24 | authorization to provide to the Agency all of the information | ||||||
25 | necessary for the Agency to conduct its evaluation. The Agency | ||||||
26 | may deny a permit or interim authorization if previous |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | activities at the site may have caused or allowed | ||||||
2 | contamination at the site, unless such contamination is | ||||||
3 | authorized under any permit issued by the Agency.
| ||||||
4 | (j) The issuance under this Act of a permit to engage in | ||||||
5 | the surface mining
of any resources other than fossil fuels | ||||||
6 | shall not relieve
the permittee from its duty to comply with | ||||||
7 | any applicable local law regulating
the commencement, location | ||||||
8 | or operation of surface mining facilities.
| ||||||
9 | (k) A development permit issued under subsection (a) of | ||||||
10 | Section 39 for any
facility or site which is required to have a | ||||||
11 | permit under subsection (d) of
Section 21 shall expire at the | ||||||
12 | end of 2 calendar years from the date upon which
it was issued, | ||||||
13 | unless within that period the applicant has taken action to
| ||||||
14 | develop the facility or the site. In the event that review of | ||||||
15 | the
conditions of the development permit is sought pursuant to | ||||||
16 | Section 40 or
41, or permittee is prevented from commencing | ||||||
17 | development of the facility
or site by any other litigation | ||||||
18 | beyond the permittee's control, such
two-year period shall be | ||||||
19 | deemed to begin on the date upon which such review
process or | ||||||
20 | litigation is concluded.
| ||||||
21 | (l) No permit shall be issued by the Agency under this Act | ||||||
22 | for
construction or operation of any facility or site located | ||||||
23 | within the
boundaries of any setback zone established pursuant | ||||||
24 | to this Act, where such
construction or operation is | ||||||
25 | prohibited.
| ||||||
26 | (m) The Agency may issue permits to persons owning or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operating
a facility for composting landscape waste. In | ||||||
2 | granting such permits, the Agency
may impose such conditions | ||||||
3 | as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of
this Act, and | ||||||
4 | as are not inconsistent with applicable regulations | ||||||
5 | promulgated
by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in this | ||||||
6 | Act, a bond or other
security shall not be required as a | ||||||
7 | condition for the issuance of a permit. If
the Agency denies | ||||||
8 | any permit pursuant to this subsection, the Agency shall
| ||||||
9 | transmit to the applicant within the time limitations of this | ||||||
10 | subsection
specific, detailed statements as to the reasons the | ||||||
11 | permit application was
denied. Such statements shall include | ||||||
12 | but not be limited to the following:
| ||||||
13 | (1) the Sections of this Act that may be violated if | ||||||
14 | the permit
were granted;
| ||||||
15 | (2) the specific regulations promulgated pursuant to | ||||||
16 | this
Act that may be violated if the permit were granted;
| ||||||
17 | (3) the specific information, if any, the Agency deems | ||||||
18 | the
applicant did not provide in its application to the | ||||||
19 | Agency; and
| ||||||
20 | (4) a statement of specific reasons why the Act and | ||||||
21 | the regulations
might be violated if the permit were | ||||||
22 | granted.
| ||||||
23 | If no final action is taken by the Agency within 90 days | ||||||
24 | after the filing
of the application for permit, the applicant | ||||||
25 | may deem the permit issued.
Any applicant for a permit may | ||||||
26 | waive the 90-day limitation by filing a
written statement with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the Agency.
| ||||||
2 | The Agency shall issue permits for such facilities upon | ||||||
3 | receipt of an
application that includes a legal description of | ||||||
4 | the site, a topographic
map of the site drawn to the scale of | ||||||
5 | 200 feet to the inch or larger, a
description of the operation, | ||||||
6 | including the area served, an estimate of
the volume of | ||||||
7 | materials to be processed, and documentation that:
| ||||||
8 | (1) the facility includes a setback of at
least 200 | ||||||
9 | feet from the nearest potable water supply well;
| ||||||
10 | (2) the facility is located outside the boundary
of | ||||||
11 | the 10-year floodplain or the site will be floodproofed;
| ||||||
12 | (3) the facility is located so as to minimize
| ||||||
13 | incompatibility with the character of the surrounding | ||||||
14 | area, including at
least a 200 foot setback from any | ||||||
15 | residence, and in the case of a
facility that is developed | ||||||
16 | or the permitted composting area of which is
expanded | ||||||
17 | after November 17, 1991, the composting area is located at | ||||||
18 | least 1/8
mile from the nearest residence (other than a | ||||||
19 | residence located on the same
property as the facility);
| ||||||
20 | (4) the design of the facility will prevent any | ||||||
21 | compost material from
being placed within 5 feet of the | ||||||
22 | water table, will adequately control runoff
from the site, | ||||||
23 | and will collect and manage any leachate that is generated | ||||||
24 | on
the site;
| ||||||
25 | (5) the operation of the facility will include | ||||||
26 | appropriate dust
and odor control measures, limitations on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operating hours, appropriate
noise control measures for | ||||||
2 | shredding, chipping and similar equipment,
management | ||||||
3 | procedures for composting, containment and disposal of
| ||||||
4 | non-compostable wastes, procedures to be used for
| ||||||
5 | terminating operations at the site, and recordkeeping | ||||||
6 | sufficient to
document the amount of materials received, | ||||||
7 | composted and otherwise
disposed of; and
| ||||||
8 | (6) the operation will be conducted in accordance with | ||||||
9 | any applicable
rules adopted by the Board.
| ||||||
10 | The Agency shall issue renewable permits of not longer | ||||||
11 | than 10 years
in duration for the composting of landscape | ||||||
12 | wastes, as defined in Section
3.155 of this Act, based on the | ||||||
13 | above requirements.
| ||||||
14 | The operator of any facility permitted under this | ||||||
15 | subsection (m) must
submit a written annual statement to the | ||||||
16 | Agency on or before April 1 of
each year that includes an | ||||||
17 | estimate of the amount of material, in tons,
received for | ||||||
18 | composting.
| ||||||
19 | (n) The Agency shall issue permits jointly with the | ||||||
20 | Department of
Transportation for the dredging or deposit of | ||||||
21 | material in Lake Michigan in
accordance with Section 18 of the | ||||||
22 | Rivers, Lakes, and Streams Act.
| ||||||
23 | (o) (Blank.)
| ||||||
24 | (p) (1) Any person submitting an application for a permit | ||||||
25 | for a new MSWLF
unit or for a lateral expansion under | ||||||
26 | subsection (t) of Section 21 of this Act
for an existing MSWLF |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unit that has not received and is not subject to local
siting | ||||||
2 | approval under Section 39.2 of this Act shall publish notice | ||||||
3 | of the
application in a newspaper of general circulation in | ||||||
4 | the county in which the
MSWLF unit is or is proposed to be | ||||||
5 | located. The notice must be published at
least 15 days before | ||||||
6 | submission of the permit application to the Agency. The
notice | ||||||
7 | shall state the name and address of the applicant, the | ||||||
8 | location of the
MSWLF unit or proposed MSWLF unit, the nature | ||||||
9 | and size of the MSWLF unit or
proposed MSWLF unit, the nature | ||||||
10 | of the activity proposed, the probable life of
the proposed | ||||||
11 | activity, the date the permit application will be submitted, | ||||||
12 | and a
statement that persons may file written comments with | ||||||
13 | the Agency concerning the
permit application within 30 days | ||||||
14 | after the filing of the permit application
unless the time | ||||||
15 | period to submit comments is extended by the Agency.
| ||||||
16 | When a permit applicant submits information to the Agency | ||||||
17 | to supplement a
permit application being reviewed by the | ||||||
18 | Agency, the applicant shall not be
required to reissue the | ||||||
19 | notice under this subsection.
| ||||||
20 | (2) The Agency shall accept written comments concerning | ||||||
21 | the permit
application that are postmarked no later than 30 | ||||||
22 | days after the
filing of the permit application, unless the | ||||||
23 | time period to accept comments is
extended by the Agency.
| ||||||
24 | (3) Each applicant for a permit described in part (1) of | ||||||
25 | this subsection
shall file a
copy of the permit application | ||||||
26 | with the county board or governing body of the
municipality in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | which the MSWLF unit is or is proposed to be located at the
| ||||||
2 | same time the application is submitted to the Agency. The | ||||||
3 | permit application
filed with the county board or governing | ||||||
4 | body of the municipality shall include
all documents submitted | ||||||
5 | to or to be submitted to the Agency, except trade
secrets as | ||||||
6 | determined under Section 7.1 of this Act. The permit | ||||||
7 | application
and other documents on file with the county board | ||||||
8 | or governing body of the
municipality shall be made available | ||||||
9 | for public inspection during regular
business hours at the | ||||||
10 | office of the county board or the governing body of the
| ||||||
11 | municipality and may be copied upon payment of the actual cost | ||||||
12 | of

| ||||||
13 | (q) Within 6 months after July 12, 2011 (the effective | ||||||
14 | date of Public Act 97-95), the Agency, in consultation with | ||||||
15 | the regulated community, shall develop a web portal to be | ||||||
16 | posted on its website for the purpose of enhancing review and | ||||||
17 | promoting timely issuance of permits required by this Act. At | ||||||
18 | a minimum, the Agency shall make the following information | ||||||
19 | available on the web portal: | ||||||
20 | (1) Checklists and guidance relating to the completion | ||||||
21 | of permit applications, developed pursuant to subsection | ||||||
22 | (s) of this Section, which may include, but are not | ||||||
23 | limited to, existing instructions for completing the | ||||||
24 | applications and examples of complete applications. As the | ||||||
25 | Agency develops new checklists and develops guidance, it | ||||||
26 | shall supplement the web portal with those materials. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) Within 2 years after July 12, 2011 (the effective | ||||||
2 | date of Public Act 97-95), permit application forms or | ||||||
3 | portions of permit applications that can be completed and | ||||||
4 | saved electronically, and submitted to the Agency | ||||||
5 | electronically with digital signatures. | ||||||
6 | (3) Within 2 years after July 12, 2011 (the effective | ||||||
7 | date of Public Act 97-95), an online tracking system where | ||||||
8 | an applicant may review the status of its pending | ||||||
9 | application, including the name and contact information of | ||||||
10 | the permit analyst assigned to the application. Until the | ||||||
11 | online tracking system has been developed, the Agency | ||||||
12 | shall post on its website semi-annual permitting | ||||||
13 | efficiency tracking reports that include statistics on the | ||||||
14 | timeframes for Agency action on the following types of | ||||||
15 | permits received after July 12, 2011 (the effective date | ||||||

3 | include, but shall not be limited to, (i) the | ||||||
4 | application being inadequate or incomplete, (ii) | ||||||
5 | scientific or technical disagreements with the | ||||||
6 | applicant, USEPA, or other local, state, or federal | ||||||
7 | agencies involved in the permitting approval process, | ||||||
8 | (iii) public opposition to the permit, or (iv) Agency | ||||||
9 | staffing shortages. To the extent practicable, the | ||||||
10 | tracking report shall provide approximate dates when | ||||||
11 | cause for delay was identified by the Agency, when the | ||||||
12 | Agency informed the applicant of the problem leading | ||||||
13 | to the delay, and when the applicant remedied the | ||||||
14 | reason for the delay. | ||||||
15 | (r) Upon the request of the applicant, the Agency shall | ||||||
16 | notify the applicant of the permit analyst assigned to the | ||||||
17 | application upon its receipt. | ||||||
18 | (s) The Agency is authorized to prepare and distribute | ||||||
19 | guidance documents relating to its administration of this | ||||||
20 | Section and procedural rules implementing this Section. | ||||||
21 | Guidance documents prepared under this subsection shall not be | ||||||
22 | considered rules and shall not be subject to the Illinois | ||||||
23 | Administrative Procedure Act. Such guidance shall not be | ||||||
24 | binding on any party. | ||||||
25 | (t) Except as otherwise prohibited by federal law or | ||||||
26 | regulation, any person submitting an application for a permit |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | may include with the application suggested permit language for | ||||||
2 | Agency consideration. The Agency is not obligated to use the | ||||||
3 | suggested language or any portion thereof in its permitting | ||||||
4 | decision. If requested by the permit applicant, the Agency | ||||||
5 | shall meet with the applicant to discuss the suggested | ||||||
6 | language. | ||||||
7 | (u) If requested by the permit applicant, the Agency shall | ||||||
8 | provide the permit applicant with a copy of the draft permit | ||||||
9 | prior to any public review period. | ||||||
10 | (v) If requested by the permit applicant, the Agency shall | ||||||
11 | provide the permit applicant with a copy of the final permit | ||||||
12 | prior to its issuance. | ||||||
13 | (w) An air pollution permit shall not be required due to | ||||||
14 | emissions of greenhouse gases, as specified by Section 9.15 of | ||||||
15 | this Act. | ||||||
16 | (x) If, before the expiration of a State operating permit | ||||||
17 | that is issued pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section and | ||||||
18 | contains federally enforceable conditions limiting the | ||||||
19 | potential to emit of the source to a level below the major | ||||||
20 | source threshold for that source so as to exclude the source | ||||||
21 | from the Clean Air Act Permit Program, the Agency receives a | ||||||
22 | complete application for the renewal of that permit, then all | ||||||
23 | of the terms and conditions of the permit shall remain in | ||||||
24 | effect until final administrative action has been taken on the | ||||||
25 | application for the renewal of the permit. | ||||||
26 | (y) The Agency may issue permits exclusively under this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection to persons owning or operating a CCR surface | ||||||
2 | impoundment subject to Section 22.59. | ||||||
3 | (z) If a mass animal mortality event is declared by the | ||||||
4 | Department of Agriculture in accordance with the Animal | ||||||
5 | Mortality Act: | ||||||
6 | (1) the owner or operator responsible for the disposal | ||||||
7 | of dead animals is exempted from the following: | ||||||
8 | (i) obtaining a permit for the construction, | ||||||
9 | installation, or operation of any type of facility or | ||||||
10 | equipment issued in accordance with subsection (a) of | ||||||
11 | this Section; | ||||||
12 | (ii) obtaining a permit for open burning in | ||||||
13 | accordance with the rules adopted by the Board; and | ||||||
14 | (iii) registering the disposal of dead animals as | ||||||
15 | an eligible small source with the Agency in accordance | ||||||
16 | with Section 9.14 of this Act; | ||||||
17 | (2) as applicable, the owner or operator responsible | ||||||
18 | for the disposal of dead animals is required to obtain the | ||||||
19 | following permits: | ||||||
20 | (i) an NPDES permit in accordance with subsection | ||||||
21 | (b) of this Section; | ||||||
22 | (ii) a PSD permit or an NA NSR permit in accordance | ||||||
23 | with Section 9.1 of this Act; | ||||||
24 | (iii) a lifetime State operating permit or a | ||||||
25 | federally enforceable State operating permit, in | ||||||
26 | accordance with subsection (a) of this Section; or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (iv) a CAAPP permit, in accordance with Section | ||||||
2 | 39.5 of this Act. | ||||||
3 | All CCR surface impoundment permits shall contain those | ||||||
4 | terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, schedules | ||||||
5 | of compliance, which may be required to accomplish the | ||||||
6 | purposes and provisions of this Act, Board regulations, the | ||||||
7 | Illinois Groundwater Protection Act and regulations pursuant | ||||||
8 | thereto, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and | ||||||
9 | regulations pursuant thereto, and may include schedules for | ||||||
10 | achieving compliance therewith as soon as possible. | ||||||
11 | The Board shall adopt filing requirements and procedures | ||||||
12 | that are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of CCR | ||||||
13 | surface impoundment permits and that are consistent with this | ||||||
14 | Act or regulations adopted by the Board, and with the RCRA, as | ||||||
15 | amended, and regulations pursuant thereto. | ||||||
16 | The applicant shall make available to the public for | ||||||
17 | inspection all documents submitted by the applicant to the | ||||||
18 | Agency in furtherance of an application, with the exception of | ||||||
19 | trade secrets, on its public internet website as well as at the | ||||||
20 | office of the county board or governing body of the | ||||||
21 | municipality where CCR from the CCR surface impoundment will | ||||||
