1 | | (415 ILCS 5/39) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1039) |
2 | | Sec. 39. Issuance of permits; procedures. |
3 | | (a) When the Board has by regulation required a permit for |
4 | | the construction, installation, or operation of any type of |
5 | | facility, equipment, vehicle, vessel, or aircraft, the |
6 | | applicant shall apply to the Agency for such permit and it |
7 | | shall be the duty of the Agency to issue such a permit upon |
8 | | proof by the applicant that the facility, equipment, vehicle, |
9 | | vessel, or aircraft will not cause a violation of this Act or |
10 | | of regulations hereunder and that denial of the permit is not |
11 | | otherwise justified under this Section . The Agency shall adopt |
12 | | such procedures as are necessary to carry out its duties under |
13 | | this Section. In making its determinations on permit |
14 | | applications under this Section the Agency shall may consider |
15 | | prior adjudications of noncompliance with this Act by the |
16 | | applicant that involved a release of a contaminant into the |
17 | | environment. In granting permits, the Agency shall may impose |
18 | | reasonable conditions specifically related to the applicant's |
19 | | past compliance history with this Act as necessary to correct, |
20 | | detect, or prevent noncompliance. The Agency shall may impose |
21 | | such other conditions as may be necessary to accomplish the |
22 | | purposes of this Act, and as are not inconsistent with the |
23 | | regulations promulgated by the Board hereunder. Except as |
24 | | otherwise provided in this Act, a bond or other security shall |
25 | | not be required as a condition for the issuance of a permit. If |
|
| | HB4197 | - 6 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | the Agency denies any permit under this Section, the Agency |
2 | | shall transmit to the applicant within the time limitations of |
3 | | this Section specific, detailed statements as to the reasons |
4 | | the permit application was denied. Such statements shall |
5 | | include, but not be limited to, the following: |
6 | | (i) the Sections of this Act which may be violated if |
7 | | the permit were granted; |
8 | | (ii) the provision of the regulations, promulgated |
9 | | under this Act, which may be violated if the permit were |
10 | | granted; |
11 | | (iii) the specific type of information, if any, which |
12 | | the Agency deems the applicant did not provide the Agency; |
13 | | and |
14 | | (iv) a statement of specific reasons why the Act and |
15 | | the regulations might not be met if the permit were |
16 | | granted. |
17 | | If there is no final action by the Agency within 90 days |
18 | | after the filing of the application for permit, the applicant |
19 | | may deem the permit issued; except that this time period shall |
20 | | be extended to 180 days when (1) notice and opportunity for |
21 | | public hearing are required by State or federal law or |
22 | | regulation, (2) the application which was filed is for any |
23 | | permit to develop a landfill subject to issuance pursuant to |
24 | | this subsection, or (3) the application that was filed is for a |
25 | | MSWLF unit required to issue public notice under subsection |
26 | | (p) of Section 39. The 90-day and 180-day time periods for the |
|
| | HB4197 | - 7 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Agency to take final action do not apply to NPDES permit |
2 | | applications under subsection (b) of this Section, to RCRA |
3 | | permit applications under subsection (d) of this Section, to |
4 | | UIC permit applications under subsection (e) of this Section, |
5 | | or to CCR surface impoundment applications under subsection |
6 | | (y) of this Section. |
7 | | The Agency shall publish notice of all final permit |
8 | | determinations for development permits for MSWLF units and for |
9 | | significant permit modifications for lateral expansions for |
10 | | existing MSWLF units one time in a newspaper of general |
11 | | circulation in the county in which the unit is or is proposed |
12 | | to be located. |
13 | | After January 1, 1994 and until July 1, 1998, operating |
14 | | permits issued under this Section by the Agency for sources of |
15 | | air pollution permitted to emit less than 25 tons per year of |
16 | | any combination of regulated air pollutants, as defined in |
17 | | Section 39.5 of this Act, shall be required to be renewed only |
18 | | upon written request by the Agency consistent with applicable |
19 | | provisions of this Act and regulations promulgated hereunder. |
20 | | Such operating permits shall expire 180 days after the date of |
21 | | such a request. The Board shall revise its regulations for the |
22 | | existing State air pollution operating permit program |
23 | | consistent with this provision by January 1, 1994. |
24 | | After June 30, 1998, operating permits issued under this |
25 | | Section by the Agency for sources of air pollution that are not |
26 | | subject to Section 39.5 of this Act and are not required to |
|
| | HB4197 | - 8 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | have a federally enforceable State operating permit shall be |
2 | | required to be renewed only upon written request by the Agency |
3 | | consistent with applicable provisions of this Act and its |
4 | | rules. Such operating permits shall expire 180 days after the |
5 | | date of such a request. Before July 1, 1998, the Board shall |
6 | | revise its rules for the existing State air pollution |
7 | | operating permit program consistent with this paragraph and |
8 | | shall adopt rules that require a source to demonstrate that it |
9 | | qualifies for a permit under this paragraph. |
10 | | (b) The Agency may issue NPDES permits exclusively under |
11 | | this subsection for the discharge of contaminants from point |
12 | | sources into navigable waters, all as defined in the Federal |
13 | | Water Pollution Control Act, as now or hereafter amended, |
14 | | within the jurisdiction of the State, or into any well. |
15 | | All NPDES permits shall contain those terms and |
16 | | conditions, including, but not limited to, schedules of |
17 | | compliance, which may be required to accomplish the purposes |
18 | | and provisions of this Act. |
19 | | The Agency may issue general NPDES permits for discharges |
20 | | from categories of point sources which are subject to the same |
21 | | permit limitations and conditions. Such general permits may be |
22 | | issued without individual applications and shall conform to |
23 | | regulations promulgated under Section 402 of the Federal Water |
24 | | Pollution Control Act, as now or hereafter amended. |
25 | | The Agency may include, among such conditions, effluent |
26 | | limitations and other requirements established under this Act, |
|
| | HB4197 | - 9 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Board regulations, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as |
2 | | now or hereafter amended, and regulations pursuant thereto, |
3 | | and schedules for achieving compliance therewith at the |
4 | | earliest reasonable date. |
5 | | The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures |
6 | | which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of NPDES |
7 | | permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations |
8 | | adopted by the Board, and with the Federal Water Pollution |
9 | | Control Act, as now or hereafter amended, and regulations |
10 | | pursuant thereto. |
11 | | The Agency, subject to any conditions which may be |
12 | | prescribed by Board regulations, may issue NPDES permits to |
13 | | allow discharges beyond deadlines established by this Act or |
14 | | by regulations of the Board without the requirement of a |
15 | | variance, subject to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, |
16 | | as now or hereafter amended, and regulations pursuant thereto. |
17 | | (c) Except for those facilities owned or operated by |
18 | | sanitary districts organized under the Metropolitan Water |
19 | | Reclamation District Act, no permit for the development or |
20 | | construction of a new pollution control facility may be |
21 | | granted by the Agency unless the applicant submits proof to |
22 | | the Agency that the location of the facility has been approved |
23 | | by the county board of the county if in an unincorporated area, |
24 | | or the governing body of the municipality when in an |
25 | | incorporated area, in which the facility is to be located in |
26 | | accordance with Section 39.2 of this Act. For purposes of this |
|
| | HB4197 | - 10 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | subsection (c), and for purposes of Section 39.2 of this Act, |
2 | | the appropriate county board or governing body of the |
3 | | municipality shall be the county board of the county or the |
4 | | governing body of the municipality in which the facility is to |
5 | | be located as of the date when the application for siting |
6 | | approval is filed. |
7 | | In the event that siting approval granted pursuant to |
8 | | Section 39.2 has been transferred to a subsequent owner or |
9 | | operator, that subsequent owner or operator may apply to the |
10 | | Agency for, and the Agency may grant, a development or |
11 | | construction permit for the facility for which local siting |
12 | | approval was granted. Upon application to the Agency for a |
13 | | development or construction permit by that subsequent owner or |
14 | | operator, the permit applicant shall cause written notice of |
15 | | the permit application to be served upon the appropriate |
16 | | county board or governing body of the municipality that |
17 | | granted siting approval for that facility and upon any party |
18 | | to the siting proceeding pursuant to which siting approval was |
19 | | granted. In that event, the Agency shall conduct an evaluation |
20 | | of the subsequent owner or operator's prior experience in |
21 | | waste management operations in the manner conducted under |
22 | | subsection (i) of Section 39 of this Act. |
23 | | Beginning August 20, 1993, if the pollution control |
24 | | facility consists of a hazardous or solid waste disposal |
25 | | facility for which the proposed site is located in an |
26 | | unincorporated area of a county with a population of less than |
|
| | HB4197 | - 11 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | 100,000 and includes all or a portion of a parcel of land that |
2 | | was, on April 1, 1993, adjacent to a municipality having a |
3 | | population of less than 5,000, then the local siting review |
4 | | required under this subsection (c) in conjunction with any |
5 | | permit applied for after that date shall be performed by the |
6 | | governing body of that adjacent municipality rather than the |
7 | | county board of the county in which the proposed site is |
8 | | located; and for the purposes of that local siting review, any |
9 | | references in this Act to the county board shall be deemed to |
10 | | mean the governing body of that adjacent municipality; |
11 | | provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall |
12 | | not apply to any proposed site which was, on April 1, 1993, |
13 | | owned in whole or in part by another municipality. |
14 | | In the case of a pollution control facility for which a |
15 | | development permit was issued before November 12, 1981, if an |
16 | | operating permit has not been issued by the Agency prior to |
17 | | August 31, 1989 for any portion of the facility, then the |
18 | | Agency may not issue or renew any development permit nor issue |
19 | | an original operating permit for any portion of such facility |
20 | | unless the applicant has submitted proof to the Agency that |
21 | | the location of the facility has been approved by the |
22 | | appropriate county board or municipal governing body pursuant |
23 | | to Section 39.2 of this Act. |
24 | | After January 1, 1994, if a solid waste disposal facility, |
25 | | any portion for which an operating permit has been issued by |
26 | | the Agency, has not accepted waste disposal for 5 or more |
|
| | HB4197 | - 12 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | consecutive calendar years, before that facility may accept |
2 | | any new or additional waste for disposal, the owner and |
3 | | operator must obtain a new operating permit under this Act for |
4 | | that facility unless the owner and operator have applied to |
5 | | the Agency for a permit authorizing the temporary suspension |
6 | | of waste acceptance. The Agency may not issue a new operation |
7 | | permit under this Act for the facility unless the applicant |
8 | | has submitted proof to the Agency that the location of the |
9 | | facility has been approved or re-approved by the appropriate |
10 | | county board or municipal governing body under Section 39.2 of |
11 | | this Act after the facility ceased accepting waste. |
12 | | Except for those facilities owned or operated by sanitary |
13 | | districts organized under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation |
14 | | District Act, and except for new pollution control facilities |
15 | | governed by Section 39.2, and except for fossil fuel mining |
16 | | facilities, the granting of a permit under this Act shall not |
17 | | relieve the applicant from meeting and securing all necessary |
18 | | zoning approvals from the unit of government having zoning |
19 | | jurisdiction over the proposed facility. |
20 | | Before beginning construction on any new sewage treatment |
21 | | plant or sludge drying site to be owned or operated by a |
22 | | sanitary district organized under the Metropolitan Water |
23 | | Reclamation District Act for which a new permit (rather than |
24 | | the renewal or amendment of an existing permit) is required, |
25 | | such sanitary district shall hold a public hearing within the |
26 | | municipality within which the proposed facility is to be |
|
| | HB4197 | - 13 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | located, or within the nearest community if the proposed |
2 | | facility is to be located within an unincorporated area, at |
3 | | which information concerning the proposed facility shall be |
4 | | made available to the public, and members of the public shall |
5 | | be given the opportunity to express their views concerning the |
6 | | proposed facility. |
7 | | The Agency may issue a permit for a municipal waste |
8 | | transfer station without requiring approval pursuant to |
9 | | Section 39.2 provided that the following demonstration is |
10 | | made: |
11 | | (1) the municipal waste transfer station was in |
12 | | existence on or before January 1, 1979 and was in |
13 | | continuous operation from January 1, 1979 to January 1, |
14 | | 1993; |
15 | | (2) the operator submitted a permit application to the |
16 | | Agency to develop and operate the municipal waste transfer |
17 | | station during April of 1994; |
18 | | (3) the operator can demonstrate that the county board |
19 | | of the county, if the municipal waste transfer station is |
20 | | in an unincorporated area, or the governing body of the |
21 | | municipality, if the station is in an incorporated area, |
22 | | does not object to resumption of the operation of the |
23 | | station; and |
24 | | (4) the site has local zoning approval. |
25 | | The Agency shall not issue any of the following |
26 | | construction permits unless the applicant for the permit |
|
| | HB4197 | - 14 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | submits proof to the Agency that the location of the source has |
2 | | been approved under Section 39.2 by the county board of the |
3 | | county, if in an unincorporated area, or the governing body of |
4 | | a municipality, if in an incorporated area: (i) a construction |
5 | | permit for a new or modified source that is to be located in an |
6 | | environmental justice community, that will require a CAAPP |
7 | | permit or a federally enforceable State operating permit, and |
8 | | that would be authorized under that permit to increase annual |
9 | | permitted emissions; (ii) a construction permit for any new or |
10 | | modified source that is located in an environmental justice |
11 | | community, that, on the effective date of this amendatory Act |
12 | | of the 103rd General Assembly, possesses a CAAPP permit or |
13 | | federally enforceable State operating permit, and that would |
14 | | be authorized under that permit to increase annual permitted |
15 | | emissions; or (iii) a construction permit for any existing |
16 | | source that is located in an environmental justice community, |
17 | | that would require a new CAAPP permit or new federally |
18 | | enforceable State operating permit for the first time, and |
19 | | that would be authorized under that permit to increase annual |
20 | | permitted emissions. For purposes of this subsection (c), and |
21 | | for purposes of Section 39.2, the appropriate county board or |
22 | | governing body of the municipality shall be the county board |
23 | | of the county or the governing body of the municipality in |
24 | | which the source is to be located on the date when the |
25 | | application for siting approval is filed. The provisions added |
26 | | to this subsection (c) by this amendatory Act of the 103rd |
|
| | HB4197 | - 15 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | General Assembly do not apply to permits for modifications or |
2 | | expansions at existing federally enforceable State operating |
3 | | permit or CAAPP sources unless the modification will result in |
4 | | an increase in the hourly rate of emissions or the total annual |
5 | | emissions of any air pollutant. |
6 | | (d) The Agency may issue RCRA permits exclusively under |
7 | | this subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for |
8 | | the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste as |
9 | | defined under this Act. Subsection (y) of this Section, rather |
10 | | than this subsection (d), shall apply to permits issued for |
11 | | CCR surface impoundments. |
12 | | All RCRA permits shall contain those terms and conditions, |
13 | | including, but not limited to, schedules of compliance, which |
14 | | may be required to accomplish the purposes and provisions of |
15 | | this Act. The Agency may include among such conditions |
16 | | standards and other requirements established under this Act, |
17 | | Board regulations, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act |
18 | | of 1976 (P.L. 94-580), as amended, and regulations pursuant |
19 | | thereto, and may include schedules for achieving compliance |
20 | | therewith as soon as possible. The Agency shall require that a |
21 | | performance bond or other security be provided as a condition |
22 | | for the issuance of a RCRA permit. |
23 | | In the case of a permit to operate a hazardous waste or PCB |
24 | | incinerator as defined in subsection (k) of Section 44, the |
25 | | Agency shall require, as a condition of the permit, that the |
26 | | operator of the facility perform such analyses of the waste to |
|
| | HB4197 | - 16 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | be incinerated as may be necessary and appropriate to ensure |
2 | | the safe operation of the incinerator. |
3 | | The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures |
4 | | which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of RCRA |
5 | | permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations |
6 | | adopted by the Board, and with the Resource Conservation and |
7 | | Recovery Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-580), as amended, and |
8 | | regulations pursuant thereto. |
9 | | The applicant shall make available to the public for |
10 | | inspection all documents submitted by the applicant to the |
11 | | Agency in furtherance of an application, with the exception of |
12 | | trade secrets, at the office of the county board or governing |
13 | | body of the municipality. Such documents may be copied upon |
14 | | payment of the actual cost of reproduction during regular |
15 | | business hours of the local office. The Agency shall issue a |
16 | | written statement concurrent with its grant or denial of the |
17 | | permit explaining the basis for its decision. |
18 | | (e) The Agency may issue UIC permits exclusively under |
19 | | this subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for |
20 | | the underground injection of contaminants as defined under |
21 | | this Act. |
22 | | All UIC permits shall contain those terms and conditions, |
23 | | including, but not limited to, schedules of compliance, which |
24 | | may be required to accomplish the purposes and provisions of |
25 | | this Act. The Agency may include among such conditions |
26 | | standards and other requirements established under this Act, |
|
| | HB4197 | - 17 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Board regulations, the Safe Drinking Water Act (P.L. 93-523), |
2 | | as amended, and regulations pursuant thereto, and may include |
3 | | schedules for achieving compliance therewith. The Agency shall |
4 | | require that a performance bond or other security be provided |
5 | | as a condition for the issuance of a UIC permit. |
6 | | The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures |
7 | | which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of UIC |
8 | | permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations |
9 | | adopted by the Board, and with the Safe Drinking Water Act |
10 | | (P.L. 93-523), as amended, and regulations pursuant thereto. |
11 | | The applicant shall make available to the public for |
12 | | inspection all documents submitted by the applicant to the |
13 | | Agency in furtherance of an application, with the exception of |
14 | | trade secrets, at the office of the county board or governing |
15 | | body of the municipality. Such documents may be copied upon |
16 | | payment of the actual cost of reproduction during regular |
17 | | business hours of the local office. The Agency shall issue a |
18 | | written statement concurrent with its grant or denial of the |
19 | | permit explaining the basis for its decision. |
20 | | (f) In making any determination pursuant to Section 9.1 of |
21 | | this Act: |
22 | | (1) The Agency shall have authority to make the |
23 | | determination of any question required to be determined by |
24 | | the Clean Air Act, as now or hereafter amended, this Act, |
25 | | or the regulations of the Board, including the |
26 | | determination of the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate, |
|
| | HB4197 | - 18 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Maximum Achievable Control Technology, or Best Available |
2 | | Control Technology, consistent with the Board's |
3 | | regulations, if any. |
4 | | (2) The Agency shall adopt requirements as necessary |
5 | | to implement public participation procedures, including, |
6 | | but not limited to, public notice, comment, and an |
7 | | opportunity for hearing, which must accompany the |
8 | | processing of applications for PSD permits. The Agency |
9 | | shall briefly describe and respond to all significant |
10 | | comments on the draft permit raised during the public |
11 | | comment period or during any hearing. The Agency may group |
12 | | related comments together and provide one unified response |
13 | | for each issue raised. |
14 | | (3) Any complete permit application submitted to the |
15 | | Agency under this subsection for a PSD permit shall be |
16 | | granted or denied by the Agency not later than one year |
17 | | after the filing of such completed application. |
18 | | (4) The Agency shall, after conferring with the |
19 | | applicant, give written notice to the applicant of its |
20 | | proposed decision on the application, including the terms |
21 | | and conditions of the permit to be issued and the facts, |
22 | | conduct, or other basis upon which the Agency will rely to |
23 | | support its proposed action. |
24 | | (g) The Agency shall include as conditions upon all |
25 | | permits issued for hazardous waste disposal sites such |
26 | | restrictions upon the future use of such sites as are |
|
| | HB4197 | - 19 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | reasonably necessary to protect public health and the |
2 | | environment, including permanent prohibition of the use of |
3 | | such sites for purposes which may create an unreasonable risk |
4 | | of injury to human health or to the environment. After |
5 | | administrative and judicial challenges to such restrictions |
6 | | have been exhausted, the Agency shall file such restrictions |
7 | | of record in the Office of the Recorder of the county in which |
8 | | the hazardous waste disposal site is located. |
9 | | (h) A hazardous waste stream may not be deposited in a |
10 | | permitted hazardous waste site unless specific authorization |
11 | | is obtained from the Agency by the generator and disposal site |
12 | | owner and operator for the deposit of that specific hazardous |
13 | | waste stream. The Agency may grant specific authorization for |
14 | | disposal of hazardous waste streams only after the generator |
15 | | has reasonably demonstrated that, considering technological |
16 | | feasibility and economic reasonableness, the hazardous waste |
17 | | cannot be reasonably recycled for reuse, nor incinerated or |
18 | | chemically, physically, or biologically treated so as to |
19 | | neutralize the hazardous waste and render it nonhazardous. In |
20 | | granting authorization under this Section, the Agency may |
21 | | impose such conditions as may be necessary to accomplish the |
22 | | purposes of the Act and are consistent with this Act and |
23 | | regulations promulgated by the Board hereunder. If the Agency |
24 | | refuses to grant authorization under this Section, the |
25 | | applicant may appeal as if the Agency refused to grant a |
26 | | permit, pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of |
|
| | HB4197 | - 20 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Section 40 of this Act. For purposes of this subsection (h), |
2 | | the term "generator" has the meaning given in Section 3.205 of |
3 | | this Act, unless: (1) the hazardous waste is treated, |
4 | | incinerated, or partially recycled for reuse prior to |
5 | | disposal, in which case the last person who treats, |
6 | | incinerates, or partially recycles the hazardous waste prior |
7 | | to disposal is the generator; or (2) the hazardous waste is |
8 | | from a response action, in which case the person performing |
9 | | the response action is the generator. This subsection (h) does |
10 | | not apply to any hazardous waste that is restricted from land |
11 | | disposal under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728. |
12 | | (i) Before issuing any RCRA permit, any permit for a waste |
13 | | storage site, sanitary landfill, waste disposal site, waste |
14 | | transfer station, waste treatment facility, waste incinerator, |
15 | | or any waste-transportation operation, any permit or interim |
16 | | authorization for a clean construction or demolition debris |
17 | | fill operation, or any permit required under subsection (d-5) |
18 | | of Section 55, the Agency shall conduct an evaluation of the |
19 | | prospective owner's or operator's prior experience in waste |
20 | | management operations, clean construction or demolition debris |
21 | | fill operations, and tire storage site management. The Agency |
22 | | may deny such a permit, or deny or revoke interim |
23 | | authorization, if the prospective owner or operator or any |
24 | | employee or officer of the prospective owner or operator has a |
25 | | history of: |
26 | | (1) repeated violations of federal, State, or local |
|
| | HB4197 | - 21 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | laws, regulations, standards, or ordinances in the |
2 | | operation of waste management facilities or sites, clean |
3 | | construction or demolition debris fill operation |
4 | | facilities or sites, or tire storage sites; or |
5 | | (2) conviction in this or another State of any crime |
6 | | which is a felony under the laws of this State, or |
7 | | conviction of a felony in a federal court; or conviction |
8 | | in this or another state or federal court of any of the |
9 | | following crimes: forgery, official misconduct, bribery, |
10 | | perjury, or knowingly submitting false information under |
11 | | any environmental law, regulation, or permit term or |
12 | | condition; or |
13 | | (3) proof of gross carelessness or incompetence in |
14 | | handling, storing, processing, transporting, or disposing |
15 | | of waste, clean construction or demolition debris, or used |
16 | | or waste tires, or proof of gross carelessness or |
17 | | incompetence in using clean construction or demolition |
18 | | debris as fill. |
19 | | (i-5) Before issuing any permit or approving any interim |
20 | | authorization for a clean construction or demolition debris |
21 | | fill operation in which any ownership interest is transferred |
22 | | between January 1, 2005, and the effective date of the |
23 | | prohibition set forth in Section 22.52 of this Act, the Agency |
24 | | shall conduct an evaluation of the operation if any previous |
25 | | activities at the site or facility may have caused or allowed |
26 | | contamination of the site. It shall be the responsibility of |
|
| | HB4197 | - 22 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | the owner or operator seeking the permit or interim |
2 | | authorization to provide to the Agency all of the information |
3 | | necessary for the Agency to conduct its evaluation. The Agency |
4 | | may deny a permit or interim authorization if previous |
5 | | activities at the site may have caused or allowed |
6 | | contamination at the site, unless such contamination is |
7 | | authorized under any permit issued by the Agency. |
8 | | (j) The issuance under this Act of a permit to engage in |
9 | | the surface mining of any resources other than fossil fuels |
10 | | shall not relieve the permittee from its duty to comply with |
11 | | any applicable local law regulating the commencement, |
12 | | location, or operation of surface mining facilities. |
13 | | (k) A development permit issued under subsection (a) of |
14 | | Section 39 for any facility or site which is required to have a |
15 | | permit under subsection (d) of Section 21 shall expire at the |
16 | | end of 2 calendar years from the date upon which it was issued, |
17 | | unless within that period the applicant has taken action to |
18 | | develop the facility or the site. In the event that review of |
19 | | the conditions of the development permit is sought pursuant to |
20 | | Section 40 or 41, or permittee is prevented from commencing |
21 | | development of the facility or site by any other litigation |
22 | | beyond the permittee's control, such two-year period shall be |
23 | | deemed to begin on the date upon which such review process or |
24 | | litigation is concluded. |
25 | | (l) No permit shall be issued by the Agency under this Act |
26 | | for construction or operation of any facility or site located |
|
| | HB4197 | - 23 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | within the boundaries of any setback zone established pursuant |
2 | | to this Act, where such construction or operation is |
3 | | prohibited. |
4 | | (m) The Agency may issue permits to persons owning or |
5 | | operating a facility for composting landscape waste. In |
6 | | granting such permits, the Agency may impose such conditions |
7 | | as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Act, and |
8 | | as are not inconsistent with applicable regulations |
9 | | promulgated by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in this |
10 | | Act, a bond or other security shall not be required as a |
11 | | condition for the issuance of a permit. If the Agency denies |
12 | | any permit pursuant to this subsection, the Agency shall |
13 | | transmit to the applicant within the time limitations of this |
14 | | subsection specific, detailed statements as to the reasons the |
15 | | permit application was denied. Such statements shall include |
16 | | but not be limited to the following: |
17 | | (1) the Sections of this Act that may be violated if |
18 | | the permit were granted; |
19 | | (2) the specific regulations promulgated pursuant to |
20 | | this Act that may be violated if the permit were granted; |
21 | | (3) the specific information, if any, the Agency deems |
22 | | the applicant did not provide in its application to the |
23 | | Agency; and |
24 | | (4) a statement of specific reasons why the Act and |
25 | | the regulations might be violated if the permit were |
26 | | granted. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 24 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | If no final action is taken by the Agency within 90 days |
2 | | after the filing of the application for permit, the applicant |
3 | | may deem the permit issued. Any applicant for a permit may |
4 | | waive the 90-day limitation by filing a written statement with |
5 | | the Agency. |
6 | | The Agency shall issue permits for such facilities upon |
7 | | receipt of an application that includes a legal description of |
8 | | the site, a topographic map of the site drawn to the scale of |
9 | | 200 feet to the inch or larger, a description of the operation, |
10 | | including the area served, an estimate of the volume of |
11 | | materials to be processed, and documentation that: |
12 | | (1) the facility includes a setback of at least 200 |
13 | | feet from the nearest potable water supply well; |
14 | | (2) the facility is located outside the boundary of |
15 | | the 10-year floodplain or the site will be floodproofed; |
16 | | (3) the facility is located so as to minimize |
17 | | incompatibility with the character of the surrounding |
18 | | area, including at least a 200 foot setback from any |
19 | | residence, and in the case of a facility that is developed |
20 | | or the permitted composting area of which is expanded |
21 | | after November 17, 1991, the composting area is located at |
22 | | least 1/8 mile from the nearest residence (other than a |
23 | | residence located on the same property as the facility); |
24 | | (4) the design of the facility will prevent any |
25 | | compost material from being placed within 5 feet of the |
26 | | water table, will adequately control runoff from the site, |
|
| | HB4197 | - 25 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | and will collect and manage any leachate that is generated |
2 | | on the site; |
3 | | (5) the operation of the facility will include |
4 | | appropriate dust and odor control measures, limitations on |
5 | | operating hours, appropriate noise control measures for |
6 | | shredding, chipping and similar equipment, management |
7 | | procedures for composting, containment and disposal of |
8 | | non-compostable wastes, procedures to be used for |
9 | | terminating operations at the site, and recordkeeping |
10 | | sufficient to document the amount of materials received, |
11 | | composted, and otherwise disposed of; and |
12 | | (6) the operation will be conducted in accordance with |
13 | | any applicable rules adopted by the Board. |
14 | | The Agency shall issue renewable permits of not longer |
15 | | than 10 years in duration for the composting of landscape |
16 | | wastes, as defined in Section 3.155 of this Act, based on the |
17 | | above requirements. |
18 | | The operator of any facility permitted under this |
19 | | subsection (m) must submit a written annual statement to the |
20 | | Agency on or before April 1 of each year that includes an |
21 | | estimate of the amount of material, in tons, received for |
22 | | composting. |
23 | | (n) The Agency shall issue permits jointly with the |
24 | | Department of Transportation for the dredging or deposit of |
25 | | material in Lake Michigan in accordance with Section 18 of the |
26 | | Rivers, Lakes, and Streams Act. |

|
|
1 | | (o) (Blank). |
2 | | (p) (1) Any person submitting an application for a permit |
3 | | for a new MSWLF unit or for a lateral expansion under |

5 | | unit that has not received and is not subject to local siting |
6 | | approval under Section 39.2 of this Act shall publish notice |
7 | | of the application in a newspaper of general circulation in |
8 | | the county in which the MSWLF unit is or is proposed to be |
9 | | located. The notice must be published at least 15 days before |
10 | | submission of the permit application to the Agency. The notice |
11 | | shall state the name and address of the applicant, the |
12 | | location of the MSWLF unit or proposed MSWLF unit, the nature |
13 | | and size of the MSWLF unit or proposed MSWLF unit, the nature |
14 | | of the activity proposed, the probable life of the proposed |

19 | | period to submit comments is extended by the Agency. |
20 | | When a permit applicant submits information to the Agency |
21 | | to supplement a permit application being reviewed by the |
22 | | Agency, the applicant shall not be required to reissue the |
23 | | notice under this subsection. |
24 | | (2) The Agency shall accept written comments concerning |
25 | | the permit application that are postmarked no later than 30 |
26 | | days after the filing of the permit application, unless the |
|
| | HB4197 | - 27 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | time period to accept comments is extended by the Agency. |

22 | | a minimum, the Agency shall make the following information |
23 | | available on the web portal: |
24 | | (1) Checklists and guidance relating to the completion |
25 | | of permit applications, developed pursuant to subsection |
26 | | (s) of this Section, which may include, but are not |
|
| | HB4197 | - 28 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | limited to, existing instructions for completing the |
2 | | applications and examples of complete applications. As the |

13 | | staffing shortages. To the extent practicable, the |
14 | | tracking report shall provide approximate dates when |
15 | | cause for delay was identified by the Agency, when the |
16 | | Agency informed the applicant of the problem leading |
17 | | to the delay, and when the applicant remedied the |
18 | | reason for the delay. |
19 | | (r) Upon the request of the applicant, the Agency shall |
20 | | notify the applicant of the permit analyst assigned to the |
21 | | application upon its receipt. |
22 | | (s) The Agency is authorized to prepare and distribute |
23 | | guidance documents relating to its administration of this |
24 | | Section and procedural rules implementing this Section. |

|
| | HB4197 | - 30 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Administrative Procedure Act. Such guidance shall not be |
2 | | binding on any party. |
3 | | (t) Except as otherwise prohibited by federal law or |
4 | | regulation, any person submitting an application for a permit |
5 | | may include with the application suggested permit language for |

16 | | prior to its issuance. |
17 | | (w) An air pollution permit shall not be required due to |
18 | | emissions of greenhouse gases, as specified by Section 9.15 of |
19 | | this Act. |
20 | | (x) If, before the expiration of a State operating permit |
21 | | that is issued pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section and |
22 | | contains federally enforceable conditions limiting the |
23 | | potential to emit of the source to a level below the major |
24 | | source threshold for that source so as to exclude the source |
25 | | from the Clean Air Act Permit Program, the Agency receives a |
26 | | complete application for the renewal of that permit, then all |
|
| | HB4197 | - 31 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | of the terms and conditions of the permit shall remain in |
2 | | effect until final administrative action has been taken on the |
3 | | application for the renewal of the permit. |
4 | | (y) The Agency may issue permits exclusively under this |
5 | | subsection to persons owning or operating a CCR surface |
6 | | impoundment subject to Section 22.59. |

1 | | shall be made in the form of a written summary jointly prepared |
2 | | and submitted by the county board or governing body of the |
3 | | municipality and the siting applicant and shall describe the |
4 | | terms and conditions of the oral agreement. |
5 | | (e-5) Siting approval obtained pursuant to this Section is |
6 | | transferable and may be transferred to a subsequent owner or |
7 | | operator. In the event that siting approval has been |
8 | | transferred to a subsequent owner or operator, that subsequent |
9 | | owner or operator assumes and takes subject to any and all |
10 | | conditions imposed upon the prior owner or operator by the |
11 | | county board of the county or governing body of the |
12 | | municipality pursuant to subsection (e). However, any such |
13 | | conditions imposed pursuant to this Section may be modified by |
14 | | agreement between the subsequent owner or operator and the |
15 | | appropriate county board or governing body. Further, in the |
16 | | event that siting approval obtained pursuant to this Section |
17 | | has been transferred to a subsequent owner or operator, that |
18 | | subsequent owner or operator assumes all rights and |
19 | | obligations and takes the facility subject to any and all |
20 | | terms and conditions of any existing host agreement between |
21 | | the prior owner or operator and the appropriate county board |
22 | | or governing body. |
23 | | (f) A local siting approval granted under this Section |
24 | | shall expire at the end of 2 calendar years from the date upon |
25 | | which it was granted, unless the local siting approval granted |
26 | | under this Section is for a sanitary landfill operation, in |
|
| | HB4197 | - 49 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | which case the approval shall expire at the end of 3 calendar |
2 | | years from the date upon which it was granted, and unless |
3 | | within that period the applicant has made application to the |
4 | | Agency for a permit to develop the site. In the event that the |
5 | | local siting decision has been appealed, such expiration |
6 | | period shall be deemed to begin on the date upon which the |
7 | | appeal process is concluded. |
8 | | Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, upon the |
9 | | expiration of a development permit under subsection (k) of |
10 | | Section 39, any associated local siting approval granted for |
11 | | the facility under this Section shall also expire. |
12 | | If a first development permit for a municipal waste |
13 | | incineration facility expires under subsection (k) of Section |
14 | | 39 after September 30, 1989 due to circumstances beyond the |
15 | | control of the applicant, any associated local siting approval |
16 | | granted for the facility under this Section may be used to |
17 | | fulfill the local siting approval requirement upon application |
18 | | for a second development permit for the same site, provided |
19 | | that the proposal in the new application is materially the |
20 | | same, with respect to the criteria in subsection (a) of this |
21 | | Section, as the proposal that received the original siting |
22 | | approval, and application for the second development permit is |
23 | | made before January 1, 1990. |
24 | | (g) The siting approval procedures, criteria and appeal |
25 | | procedures provided for in this Act for new pollution control |
26 | | facilities shall be the exclusive siting procedures and rules |
|
| | HB4197 | - 50 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |

2 | | procedures. Local zoning or other local land use requirements |
3 | | shall not be applicable to such siting decisions. |
4 | | (h) Nothing in this Section shall apply to any existing or |
5 | | new pollution control facility located within the corporate |
6 | | limits of a municipality with a population of over 1,000,000. |
7 | | (i) (Blank.) |
8 | | The Board shall adopt regulations establishing the |
9 | | geologic and hydrologic siting criteria necessary to protect |
10 | | usable groundwater resources which are to be followed by the |
11 | | Agency in its review of permit applications for new pollution |
12 | | control facilities. Such regulations, insofar as they apply to |
13 | | new pollution control facilities authorized to store, treat or |
14 | | dispose of any hazardous waste, shall be at least as stringent |
15 | | as the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery |
16 | | Act and any State or federal regulations adopted pursuant |
17 | | thereto. |
18 | | (j) Any new pollution control facility which has never |
19 | | obtained local siting approval under the provisions of this |
20 | | Section shall be required to obtain such approval after a |
21 | | final decision on an appeal of a permit denial. |
22 | | (k) A county board or governing body of a municipality may |
23 | | charge applicants for siting review under this Section a |
24 | | reasonable fee to cover the reasonable and necessary costs |
25 | | incurred by such county or municipality in the siting review |
26 | | process. |

1 | | (l) The governing Authority as determined by subsection |
2 | | (c) of Section 39 of this Act may request the Department of |
3 | | Transportation to perform traffic impact studies of proposed |
4 | | or potential locations for required pollution control |
5 | | facilities. |
6 | | (m) An applicant may not file a request for local siting |
7 | | approval which is substantially the same as a request which |
8 | | was disapproved pursuant to a finding against the applicant |
9 | | under any of criteria (i) through (ix) of subsection (a) of |
10 | | this Section within the preceding 2 years. |
11 | | (n) In any review proceeding of a decision of the county |
12 | | board or governing body of a municipality made pursuant to the |
13 | | local siting review process, the petitioner in the review |
14 | | proceeding shall pay to the county or municipality the cost of |
15 | | preparing and certifying the record of proceedings. Should the |
16 | | petitioner in the review proceeding fail to make payment, the |
17 | | provisions of Section 3-109 of the Code of Civil Procedure |
18 | | shall apply. |
19 | | In the event the petitioner is a citizens' group that |
20 | | participated in the siting proceeding and is so located as to |
21 | | be affected by the proposed facility, such petitioner shall be |
22 | | exempt from paying the costs of preparing and certifying the |
23 | | record. |
24 | | (o) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a |
25 | | transfer station used exclusively for landscape waste, where |
26 | | landscape waste is held no longer than 24 hours from the time |

|
|
1 | | it was received, is not subject to the requirements of local |
2 | | siting approval under this Section, but is subject only to |
3 | | local zoning approval. |
4 | | (p) The siting approval procedures, criteria, and appeal |
5 | | procedures provided for in this Act for new air pollution |
6 | | sources shall be in addition to the applicable local land use |
7 | | and zoning standards, procedures, rules, and appeal |
8 | | procedures, including separate environmental justice and |
9 | | cumulative environmental impact reviews and requirements as |
10 | | may be adopted locally. Local zoning or other local land use |
11 | | requirements shall continue to be applicable to siting |
12 | | decisions for new air pollution sources in addition to the |
13 | | siting approval procedures, criteria, and appeal procedures |
14 | | provided in this Act. |

23 | | "Stationary source" means any building, structure, |
24 | | facility, or installation that emits or may emit any regulated |
25 | | air pollutant or any pollutant listed under Section 112(b) of |
26 | | the Clean Air Act, except those emissions resulting directly |
|
| | HB4197 | - 64 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | from an internal combustion engine for transportation purposes |
2 | | or from a nonroad engine or nonroad vehicle as defined in |
3 | | Section 216 of the Clean Air Act. |

5 | | CFR 70.2, as now or hereafter amended. |
6 | | "Support facility" means any stationary source (or group |
7 | | of stationary sources) that conveys, stores, or otherwise |
8 | | assists to a significant extent in the production of a |
9 | | principal product at another stationary source (or group of |
10 | | stationary sources). A support facility shall be considered to |
11 | | be part of the same source as the stationary source (or group |
12 | | of stationary sources) that it supports regardless of the |
13 | | 2-digit Standard Industrial Classification code for the |
14 | | support facility. |
15 | | "USEPA" means the Administrator of the United States |

18 | | 1.1. Exclusion From the CAAPP. |
19 | | a. An owner or operator of a source which determines |
20 | | that the source could be excluded from the CAAPP may seek |
21 | | such exclusion prior to the date that the CAAPP |
22 | | application for the source is due but in no case later than |
23 | | 9 months after the effective date of the CAAPP through the |
24 | | imposition of federally enforceable conditions limiting |
25 | | the "potential to emit" of the source to a level below the |
|
| | HB4197 | - 65 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | major source threshold for that source as described in |
2 | | paragraph (c) of subsection 2 of this Section, within a |
3 | | State operating permit issued pursuant to subsection (a) |
4 | | of Section 39 of this Act. After such date, an exclusion |
5 | | from the CAAPP may be sought under paragraph (c) of |
6 | | subsection 3 of this Section. |
7 | | b. An owner or operator of a source seeking exclusion |
8 | | from the CAAPP pursuant to paragraph (a) of this |
9 | | subsection must submit a permit application consistent |
10 | | with the existing State permit program which specifically |
11 | | requests such exclusion through the imposition of such |
12 | | federally enforceable conditions. |
13 | | c. Upon such request, if the Agency determines that |
14 | | the owner or operator of a source has met the requirements |
15 | | for exclusion pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection |
16 | | and other applicable requirements for permit issuance |
17 | | under subsection (a) of Section 39 of this Act, the Agency |
18 | | shall issue a State operating permit for such source under |
19 | | subsection (a) of Section 39 of this Act, as amended, and |
20 | | regulations promulgated thereunder with federally |
21 | | enforceable conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of |
22 | | the source to a level below the major source threshold for |
23 | | that source as described in paragraph (c) of subsection 2 |
24 | | of this Section. |
25 | | d. The Agency shall provide an owner or operator of a |
26 | | source which may be excluded from the CAAPP pursuant to |
|
| | HB4197 | - 66 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | this subsection with reasonable notice that the owner or |
2 | | operator may seek such exclusion. |
3 | | e. The Agency shall provide such sources with the |
4 | | necessary permit application forms. |
5 | | 2. Applicability. |
6 | | a. Sources subject to this Section shall include: |
7 | | i. Any major source as defined in paragraph (c) of |
8 | | this subsection. |

10 | | requirements promulgated under Section 111 (New Source |
11 | | Performance Standards) or Section 112 (Hazardous Air |
12 | | Pollutants) of the Clean Air Act, except that a source |
13 | | is not required to obtain a permit solely because it is |
14 | | subject to regulations or requirements under Section |
15 | | 112(r) of the Clean Air Act. |
16 | | iii. Any affected source for acid deposition, as |
17 | | defined in subsection 1 of this Section. |
18 | | iv. Any other source subject to this Section under |
19 | | the Clean Air Act or regulations promulgated |
20 | | thereunder, or applicable Board regulations. |
21 | | b. Sources exempted from this Section shall include: |
22 | | i. All sources listed in paragraph (a) of this |
23 | | subsection that are not major sources, affected |
24 | | sources for acid deposition or solid waste |

| | HB4197 | - 67 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | pursuant to Section 129(e) of the Clean Air Act, until |
2 | | the source is required to obtain a CAAPP permit |
3 | | pursuant to the Clean Air Act or regulations |
4 | | promulgated thereunder. |
5 | | ii. Nonmajor sources subject to a standard or |
6 | | other requirements subsequently promulgated by USEPA |
7 | | under Section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act that are |
8 | | determined by USEPA to be exempt at the time a new |
9 | | standard is promulgated. |
10 | | iii. All sources and source categories that would |
11 | | be required to obtain a permit solely because they are |
12 | | subject to Part 60, Subpart AAA - Standards of |
13 | | Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters (40 CFR |
14 | | Part 60). |
15 | | iv. All sources and source categories that would |
16 | | be required to obtain a permit solely because they are |
17 | | subject to Part 61, Subpart M - National Emission |
18 | | Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Asbestos, |
19 | | Section 61.145 (40 CFR Part 61). |
20 | | v. Any other source categories exempted by USEPA |
21 | | regulations pursuant to Section 502(a) of the Clean |
22 | | Air Act. |
23 | | vi. Major sources of greenhouse gas emissions |
24 | | required to obtain a CAAPP permit under this Section |
25 | | if any of the following occurs: |
26 | | (A) enactment of federal legislation depriving |
|
| | HB4197 | - 68 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | the Administrator of the USEPA of authority to |
2 | | regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act; |
3 | | (B) the issuance of any opinion, ruling, |
4 | | judgment, order, or decree by a federal court |
5 | | depriving the Administrator of the USEPA of |
6 | | authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the |
7 | | Clean Air Act; or |
8 | | (C) action by the President of the United |
9 | | States or the President's authorized agent, |
10 | | including the Administrator of the USEPA, to |
11 | | repeal or withdraw the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring |
12 | | Rule (75 Fed. Reg. 31514, June 3, 2010). |
13 | | If any event listed in this subparagraph (vi) |
14 | | occurs, CAAPP permits issued after such event shall |
15 | | not impose permit terms or conditions addressing |
16 | | greenhouse gases during the effectiveness of any event |
17 | | listed in subparagraph (vi). If any event listed in |
18 | | this subparagraph (vi) occurs, any owner or operator |
19 | | with a CAAPP permit that includes terms or conditions |
20 | | addressing greenhouse gases may elect to submit an |
21 | | application to the Agency to address a revision or |
22 | | repeal of such terms or conditions. If any owner or |
23 | | operator submits such an application, the Agency shall |
24 | | expeditiously process the permit application in |
25 | | accordance with applicable laws and regulations. |
26 | | Nothing in this subparagraph (vi) shall relieve an |
|
| | HB4197 | - 69 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | owner or operator of a source from the requirement to |
2 | | obtain a CAAPP permit for its emissions of regulated |
3 | | air pollutants other than greenhouse gases, as |
4 | | required by this Section. |
5 | | c. For purposes of this Section the term "major |
6 | | source" means any source that is: |
7 | | i. A major source under Section 112 of the Clean |
8 | | Air Act, which is defined as: |
9 | | A. For pollutants other than radionuclides, |
10 | | any stationary source or group of stationary |
11 | | sources located within a contiguous area and under |
12 | | common control that emits or has the potential to |
13 | | emit, in the aggregate, 10 tons per year (tpy) or |
14 | | more of any hazardous air pollutant which has been |
15 | | listed pursuant to Section 112(b) of the Clean Air |
16 | | Act, 25 tpy or more of any combination of such |
17 | | hazardous air pollutants, or such lesser quantity |
18 | | as USEPA may establish by rule. Notwithstanding |
19 | | the preceding sentence, emissions from any oil or |
20 | | gas exploration or production well (with its |
21 | | associated equipment) and emissions from any |
22 | | pipeline compressor or pump station shall not be |
23 | | aggregated with emissions from other similar |
24 | | units, whether or not such units are in a |
25 | | contiguous area or under common control, to |
26 | | determine whether such stations are major sources. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 70 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | B. For radionuclides, "major source" shall |
2 | | have the meaning specified by the USEPA by rule. |
3 | | ii. A major stationary source of air pollutants, |
4 | | as defined in Section 302 of the Clean Air Act, that |
5 | | directly emits or has the potential to emit, 100 tpy or |
6 | | more of any air pollutant subject to regulation |
7 | | (including any major source of fugitive emissions of |
8 | | any such pollutant, as determined by rule by USEPA). |
9 | | For purposes of this subsection, "fugitive emissions" |
10 | | means those emissions which could not reasonably pass |
11 | | through a stack, chimney, vent, or other |
12 | | functionally-equivalent opening. The fugitive |
13 | | emissions of a stationary source shall not be |
14 | | considered in determining whether it is a major |
15 | | stationary source for the purposes of Section 302(j) |
16 | | of the Clean Air Act, unless the source belongs to one |
17 | | of the following categories of stationary source: |
18 | | A. Coal cleaning plants (with thermal dryers). |

11 | | 50 tons or more per year in areas classified as |
12 | | "serious", 25 tons or more per year in areas |
13 | | classified as "severe", and 10 tons or more per |
14 | | year in areas classified as "extreme"; except that |
15 | | the references in this clause to 100, 50, 25, and |
16 | | 10 tons per year of nitrogen oxides shall not |
17 | | apply with respect to any source for which USEPA |
18 | | has made a finding, under Section 182(f)(1) or (2) |
19 | | of the Clean Air Act, that requirements otherwise |
20 | | applicable to such source under Section 182(f) of |
21 | | the Clean Air Act do not apply. Such sources shall |

6 | | enforceable conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of |
7 | | the source to a level below the major source threshold for |
8 | | that source as described in paragraph (c) of subsection 2 |
9 | | of this Section, thereby excluding the source from the |
10 | | CAAPP, when requested by the applicant pursuant to |
11 | | paragraph (u) of subsection 5 of this Section. The public |
12 | | notice requirements of this Section applicable to CAAPP |
13 | | permits shall also apply to the initial issuance of |
14 | | permits under this paragraph. |
15 | | d. For purposes of this Act, a permit issued by USEPA |
16 | | under Section 505 of the Clean Air Act, as now and |
17 | | hereafter amended, shall be deemed to be a permit issued |
18 | | by the Agency pursuant to Section 39.5 of this Act. |
19 | | 4. Transition. |
20 | | a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not be |
21 | | required to renew an existing State operating permit for |
22 | | any emission unit at such CAAPP source once a CAAPP |
23 | | application timely submitted prior to expiration of the |
24 | | State operating permit has been deemed complete. For |
25 | | purposes other than permit renewal, the obligation upon |
|
| | HB4197 | - 75 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | the owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State |
2 | | operating permit is not removed upon submittal of the |
3 | | complete CAAPP permit application. An owner or operator of |
4 | | a CAAPP source seeking to make a modification to a source |
5 | | prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be |
6 | | required to obtain a construction permit, operating |
7 | | permit, or both as required for such modification in |
8 | | accordance with the State permit program under subsection |
9 | | (a) of Section 39 of this Act, as amended, and regulations |
10 | | promulgated thereunder. The application for such |
11 | | construction permit, operating permit, or both shall be |
12 | | considered an amendment to the CAAPP application submitted |
13 | | for such source. |
14 | | b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall |
15 | | continue to operate in accordance with the terms and |
16 | | conditions of its applicable State operating permit |
17 | | notwithstanding the expiration of the State operating |
18 | | permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued. |
19 | | c. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit |
20 | | its initial CAAPP application to the Agency no later than |
21 | | 12 months after the effective date of the CAAPP. The |
22 | | Agency may request submittal of initial CAAPP applications |
23 | | during this 12-month period according to a schedule set |
24 | | forth within Agency procedures, however, in no event shall |
25 | | the Agency require such submittal earlier than 3 months |
26 | | after such effective date of the CAAPP. An owner or |
|
| | HB4197 | - 76 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | operator may voluntarily submit its initial CAAPP |
2 | | application prior to the date required within this |
3 | | paragraph or applicable procedures, if any, subsequent to |
4 | | the date the Agency submits the CAAPP to USEPA for |
5 | | approval. |
6 | | d. The Agency shall act on initial CAAPP applications |
7 | | in accordance with paragraph (j) of subsection 5 of this |
8 | | Section. |
9 | | e. For purposes of this Section, the term "initial |
10 | | CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application |
11 | | submitted for a source existing as of the effective date |
12 | | of the CAAPP. |
13 | | f. The Agency shall provide owners or operators of |
14 | | CAAPP sources with at least 3 months advance notice of the |
15 | | date on which their applications are required to be |
16 | | submitted. In determining which sources shall be subject |
17 | | to early submittal, the Agency shall include among its |
18 | | considerations the complexity of the permit application, |
19 | | and the burden that such early submittal will have on the |
20 | | source. |
21 | | g. The CAAPP permit shall upon becoming effective |
22 | | supersede the State operating permit. |
23 | | h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
24 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
25 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
26 | | necessary, to implement this subsection. |

|
1 | | 5. Applications and Completeness. |
2 | | a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit |
3 | | its complete CAAPP application consistent with the Act and |
4 | | applicable regulations. |
5 | | b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit |
6 | | a single complete CAAPP application covering all emission |
7 | | units at that source. |
8 | | c. To be deemed complete, a CAAPP application must |
9 | | provide all information, as requested in Agency |
10 | | application forms, sufficient to evaluate the subject |
11 | | source and its application and to determine all applicable |
12 | | requirements, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, and |
13 | | regulations thereunder, this Act and regulations |
14 | | thereunder. Such Agency application forms shall be |
15 | | finalized and made available prior to the date on which |
16 | | any CAAPP application is required. |
17 | | d. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall |
18 | | submit, as part of its complete CAAPP application, a |
19 | | compliance plan, including a schedule of compliance, |
20 | | describing how each emission unit will comply with all |
21 | | applicable requirements. Any such schedule of compliance |
22 | | shall be supplemental to, and shall not sanction |
23 | | noncompliance with, the applicable requirements on which |
24 | | it is based. |
25 | | e. Each submitted CAAPP application shall be certified |
|
| | HB4197 | - 78 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | for truth, accuracy, and completeness by a responsible |
2 | | official in accordance with applicable regulations. |
3 | | f. The Agency shall provide notice to a CAAPP |
4 | | applicant as to whether a submitted CAAPP application is |
5 | | complete. Unless the Agency notifies the applicant of |
6 | | incompleteness, within 60 days after receipt of the CAAPP |
7 | | application, the application shall be deemed complete. The |
8 | | Agency may request additional information as needed to |
9 | | make the completeness determination. The Agency may to the |
10 | | extent practicable provide the applicant with a reasonable |
11 | | opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a final |
12 | | determination of completeness. |
13 | | g. If after the determination of completeness the |
14 | | Agency finds that additional information is necessary to |
15 | | evaluate or take final action on the CAAPP application, |
16 | | the Agency may request in writing such information from |
17 | | the source with a reasonable deadline for response. |
18 | | h. If the owner or operator of a CAAPP source submits a |
19 | | timely and complete CAAPP application, the source's |
20 | | failure to have a CAAPP permit shall not be a violation of |
21 | | this Section until the Agency takes final action on the |
22 | | submitted CAAPP application, provided, however, where the |
23 | | applicant fails to submit the requested information under |
24 | | paragraph (g) of this subsection 5 within the time frame |
25 | | specified by the Agency, this protection shall cease to |
26 | | apply. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 79 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | i. Any applicant who fails to submit any relevant |
2 | | facts necessary to evaluate the subject source and its |
3 | | CAAPP application or who has submitted incorrect |
4 | | information in a CAAPP application shall, upon becoming |
5 | | aware of such failure or incorrect submittal, submit |
6 | | supplementary facts or correct information to the Agency. |
7 | | In addition, an applicant shall provide to the Agency |
8 | | additional information as necessary to address any |
9 | | requirements which become applicable to the source |
10 | | subsequent to the date the applicant submitted its |
11 | | complete CAAPP application but prior to release of the |
12 | | draft CAAPP permit. |
13 | | j. The Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP permit |
14 | | within 18 months after the date of receipt of the complete |
15 | | CAAPP application, with the following exceptions: (i) |
16 | | permits for affected sources for acid deposition shall be |
17 | | issued or denied within 6 months after receipt of a |
18 | | complete application in accordance with subsection 17 of |
19 | | this Section; (ii) the Agency shall act on initial CAAPP |
20 | | applications within 24 months after the date of receipt of |
21 | | the complete CAAPP application; (iii) the Agency shall act |
22 | | on complete applications containing early reduction |
23 | | demonstrations under Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air |
24 | | Act within 9 months of receipt of the complete CAAPP |
25 | | application. |
26 | | Where the Agency does not take final action on the |
|
| | HB4197 | - 80 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | permit within the required time period, the permit shall |
2 | | not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be |
3 | | treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial |
4 | | review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act. |
5 | | k. The submittal of a complete CAAPP application shall |
6 | | not affect the requirement that any source have a |
7 | | preconstruction permit under Title I of the Clean Air Act. |

11 | | if any. |
12 | | h. All CAAPP permits shall state that, where another |
13 | | applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act is more |
14 | | stringent than any applicable requirement of regulations |
15 | | promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act, both |
16 | | provisions shall be incorporated into the permit and shall |
17 | | be State and federally enforceable. |
18 | | i. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of |
19 | | this Section shall include a severability clause to ensure |
20 | | the continued validity of the various permit requirements |

|
| | HB4197 | - 89 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | stating that compliance with the conditions of the |
2 | | permit shall be deemed compliance with applicable |
3 | | requirements which are applicable as of the date of |
4 | | release of the proposed permit, provided that: |
5 | | A. The applicable requirement is specifically |
6 | | identified within the permit; or |
7 | | B. The Agency in acting on the CAAPP |
8 | | application or revision determines in writing that |
9 | | other requirements specifically identified are not |
10 | | applicable to the source, and the permit includes |
11 | | that determination or a concise summary thereof. |
12 | | ii. The permit shall identify the requirements for |
13 | | which the source is shielded. The shield shall not |
14 | | extend to applicable requirements which are |
15 | | promulgated after the date of release of the proposed |
16 | | permit unless the permit has been modified to reflect |
17 | | such new requirements. |
18 | | iii. A CAAPP permit which does not expressly |
19 | | indicate the existence of a permit shield shall not |
20 | | provide such a shield. |
21 | | iv. Nothing in this paragraph or in a CAAPP permit |
22 | | shall alter or affect the following: |
23 | | A. The provisions of Section 303 (emergency |
24 | | powers) of the Clean Air Act, including USEPA's |
25 | | authority under that section. |
26 | | B. The liability of an owner or operator of a |
|
| | HB4197 | - 90 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | source for any violation of applicable |
2 | | requirements prior to or at the time of permit |
3 | | issuance. |
4 | | C. The applicable requirements of the acid |
5 | | rain program consistent with Section 408(a) of the |
6 | | Clean Air Act. |
7 | | D. The ability of USEPA to obtain information |
8 | | from a source pursuant to Section 114 |
9 | | (inspections, monitoring, and entry) of the Clean |
10 | | Air Act. |
11 | | k. Each CAAPP permit shall include an emergency |
12 | | provision providing an affirmative defense of emergency to |
13 | | an action brought for noncompliance with technology-based |
14 | | emission limitations under a CAAPP permit if the following |
15 | | conditions are met through properly signed, |
16 | | contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant |
17 | | evidence: |
18 | | i. An emergency occurred and the permittee can |
19 | | identify the cause(s) of the emergency. |
20 | | ii. The permitted facility was at the time being |
21 | | properly operated. |
22 | | iii. The permittee submitted notice of the |
23 | | emergency to the Agency within 2 working days after |
24 | | the time when emission limitations were exceeded due |
25 | | to the emergency. This notice must contain a detailed |
26 | | description of the emergency, any steps taken to |
|
| | HB4197 | - 91 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken. |
2 | | iv. During the period of the emergency the |
3 | | permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels |
4 | | of emissions that exceeded the emission limitations, |
5 | | standards, or requirements in the permit. |
6 | | For purposes of this subsection, "emergency" means any |
7 | | situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable |
8 | | events beyond the control of the source, such as an act of |
9 | | God, that requires immediate corrective action to restore |
10 | | normal operation, and that causes the source to exceed a |
11 | | technology-based emission limitation under the permit, due |
12 | | to unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the |
13 | | emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to |
14 | | the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack |
15 | | of preventative maintenance, careless or improper |
16 | | operation, or operation error. |
17 | | In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking |
18 | | to establish the occurrence of an emergency has the burden |
19 | | of proof. This provision is in addition to any emergency |
20 | | or upset provision contained in any applicable |
21 | | requirement. This provision does not relieve a permittee |
22 | | of any reporting obligations under existing federal or |
23 | | state laws or regulations. |
24 | | l. The Agency shall include in each permit issued |
25 | | under subsection 10 of this Section: |
26 | | i. Terms and conditions for reasonably anticipated |
|
| | HB4197 | - 92 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | operating scenarios identified by the source in its |
2 | | application. The permit terms and conditions for each |
3 | | such operating scenario shall meet all applicable |
4 | | requirements and the requirements of this Section. |
5 | | A. Under this subparagraph, the source must |
6 | | record in a log at the permitted facility a record |
7 | | of the scenario under which it is operating |
8 | | contemporaneously with making a change from one |
9 | | operating scenario to another. |
10 | | B. The permit shield described in paragraph |
11 | | (j) of subsection 7 of this Section shall extend |
12 | | to all terms and conditions under each such |
13 | | operating scenario. |
14 | | ii. Where requested by an applicant, all terms and |
15 | | conditions allowing for trading of emissions increases |
16 | | and decreases between different emission units at the |
17 | | CAAPP source, to the extent that the applicable |
18 | | requirements provide for trading of such emissions |
19 | | increases and decreases without a case-by-case |
20 | | approval of each emissions trade. Such terms and |
21 | | conditions: |
22 | | A. Shall include all terms required under this |
23 | | subsection to determine compliance; |
24 | | B. Must meet all applicable requirements; |
25 | | C. Shall extend the permit shield described in |
26 | | paragraph (j) of subsection 7 of this Section to |
|
| | HB4197 | - 93 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | all terms and conditions that allow such increases |
2 | | and decreases in emissions. |
3 | | m. The Agency shall specifically designate as not |
4 | | being federally enforceable under the Clean Air Act any |
5 | | terms and conditions included in the permit that are not |
6 | | specifically required under the Clean Air Act or federal |
7 | | regulations promulgated thereunder. Terms or conditions so |
8 | | designated shall be subject to all applicable State |
9 | | requirements, except the requirements of subsection 7 |
10 | | (other than this paragraph, paragraph q of subsection 7, |
11 | | subsections 8 through 11, and subsections 13 through 16 of |
12 | | this Section. The Agency shall, however, include such |
13 | | terms and conditions in the CAAPP permit issued to the |
14 | | source. |
15 | | n. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of |
16 | | this Section shall specify and reference the origin of and |
17 | | authority for each term or condition, and identify any |
18 | | difference in form as compared to the applicable |
19 | | requirement upon which the term or condition is based. |
20 | | o. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of |
21 | | this Section shall include provisions stating the |
22 | | following: |
23 | | i. Duty to comply. The permittee must comply with |
24 | | all terms and conditions of the CAAPP permit. Any |
25 | | permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the |
26 | | Clean Air Act and the Act, and is grounds for any or |
|

|
|
1 | | all of the following: enforcement action; permit |
2 | | termination, revocation and reissuance, or |
3 | | modification; or denial of a permit renewal |
4 | | application. |
5 | | ii. Need to halt or reduce activity not a defense. |
6 | | It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an |

8 | | to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to |
9 | | maintain compliance with the conditions of this |
10 | | permit. |
11 | | iii. Permit actions. The permit may be modified, |
12 | | revoked, reopened, and reissued, or terminated for |
13 | | cause in accordance with the applicable subsections of |
14 | | Section 39.5 of this Act. The filing of a request by |
15 | | the permittee for a permit modification, revocation |
16 | | and reissuance, or termination, or of a notification |
17 | | of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does |
18 | | not stay any permit condition. |
19 | | iv. Property rights. The permit does not convey |
20 | | any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive |
21 | | privilege. |
22 | | v. Duty to provide information. The permittee |
23 | | shall furnish to the Agency within a reasonable time |
24 | | specified by the Agency any information that the |
25 | | Agency may request in writing to determine whether |

|
|
1 | | terminating the permit or to determine compliance with |
2 | | the permit. Upon request, the permittee shall also |
3 | | furnish to the Agency copies of records required to be |
4 | | kept by the permit or, for information claimed to be |
5 | | confidential, the permittee may furnish such records |
6 | | directly to USEPA along with a claim of |
7 | | confidentiality. |
8 | | vi. Duty to pay fees. The permittee must pay fees |
9 | | to the Agency consistent with the fee schedule |
10 | | approved pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section, |
11 | | and submit any information relevant thereto. |
12 | | vii. Emissions trading. No permit revision shall |
13 | | be required for increases in emissions allowed under |
14 | | any approved economic incentives, marketable permits, |
15 | | emissions trading, and other similar programs or |
16 | | processes for changes that are provided for in the |
17 | | permit and that are authorized by the applicable |
18 | | requirement. |
19 | | p. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of |
20 | | this Section shall contain the following elements with |
21 | | respect to compliance: |
22 | | i. Compliance certification, testing, monitoring, |
23 | | reporting, and record keeping requirements sufficient |
24 | | to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of |
25 | | the permit. Any document (including reports) required |
26 | | by a CAAPP permit shall contain a certification by a |
|
| | HB4197 | - 96 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | responsible official that meets the requirements of |
2 | | subsection 5 of this Section and applicable |
3 | | regulations. |
4 | | ii. Inspection and entry requirements that |
5 | | necessitate that, upon presentation of credentials and |
6 | | other documents as may be required by law and in |
7 | | accordance with constitutional limitations, the |
8 | | permittee shall allow the Agency, or an authorized |
9 | | representative to perform the following: |
10 | | A. Enter upon the permittee's premises where a |
11 | | CAAPP source is located or emissions-related |
12 | | activity is conducted, or where records must be |

1 | | q. If the owner or operator of CAAPP source can |
2 | | demonstrate in its CAAPP application, including an |
3 | | application for a significant modification, that an |
4 | | alternative emission limit would be equivalent to that |
5 | | contained in the applicable Board regulations, the Agency |
6 | | shall include the alternative emission limit in the CAAPP |
7 | | permit, which shall supersede the emission limit set forth |
8 | | in the applicable Board regulations, and shall include |
9 | | conditions that insure that the resulting emission limit |
10 | | is quantifiable, accountable, enforceable, and based on |
11 | | replicable procedures. |
12 | | 8. Public Notice; Affected State Review. |
13 | | a. The Agency shall provide notice to the public, |
14 | | including an opportunity for public comment and a hearing, |
15 | | on each draft CAAPP permit for issuance, renewal or |
16 | | significant modification, subject to Section 7.1 and |
17 | | subsection (a) of Section 7 of this Act. |
18 | | b. The Agency shall prepare a draft CAAPP permit and a |
19 | | statement that sets forth the legal and factual basis for |
20 | | the draft CAAPP permit conditions, including references to |
21 | | the applicable statutory or regulatory provisions. The |
22 | | Agency shall provide this statement to any person who |
23 | | requests it. |
24 | | c. The Agency shall give notice of each draft CAAPP |
25 | | permit to the applicant and to any affected State on or |
|
| | HB4197 | - 100 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | before the time that the Agency has provided notice to the |
2 | | public, except as otherwise provided in this Act. |
3 | | d. The Agency, as part of its submittal of a proposed |
4 | | permit to USEPA (or as soon as possible after the |
5 | | submittal for minor permit modification procedures allowed |
6 | | under subsection 14 of this Section), shall notify USEPA |
7 | | and any affected State in writing of any refusal of the |
8 | | Agency to accept all of the recommendations for the |
9 | | proposed permit that an affected State submitted during |
10 | | the public or affected State review period. The notice |
11 | | shall include the Agency's reasons for not accepting the |
12 | | recommendations. The Agency is not required to accept |
13 | | recommendations that are not based on applicable |
14 | | requirements or the requirements of this Section. |
15 | | e. The Agency shall make available to the public any |
16 | | CAAPP permit application, compliance plan (including the |
17 | | schedule of compliance), CAAPP permit, and emissions or |
18 | | compliance monitoring report. If an owner or operator of a |
19 | | CAAPP source is required to submit information entitled to |
20 | | protection from disclosure under Section 7.1 and |
21 | | subsection (a) of Section 7 of this Act, the owner or |
22 | | operator shall submit such information separately. The |
23 | | requirements of Section 7.1 and subsection (a) of Section |
24 | | 7 of this Act shall apply to such information, which shall |
25 | | not be included in a CAAPP permit unless required by law. |
26 | | The contents of a CAAPP permit shall not be entitled to |
|
| | HB4197 | - 101 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | protection under Section 7.1 and subsection (a) of Section |
2 | | 7 of this Act. |
3 | | f. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
4 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
5 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
6 | | necessary, to implement this subsection. |
7 | | g. If requested by the permit applicant, the Agency |
8 | | shall provide the permit applicant with a copy of the |
9 | | draft CAAPP permit prior to any public review period. If |
10 | | requested by the permit applicant, the Agency shall |
11 | | provide the permit applicant with a copy of the final |
12 | | CAAPP permit prior to issuance of the CAAPP permit. |
13 | | 9. USEPA Notice and Objection. |
14 | | a. The Agency shall provide to USEPA for its review a |
15 | | copy of each CAAPP application (including any application |
16 | | for permit modification), statement of basis as provided |
17 | | in paragraph (b) of subsection 8 of this Section, proposed |
18 | | CAAPP permit, CAAPP permit, and, if the Agency does not |
19 | | incorporate any affected State's recommendations on a |
20 | | proposed CAAPP permit, a written statement of this |
21 | | decision and its reasons for not accepting the |
22 | | recommendations, except as otherwise provided in this Act |
23 | | or by agreement with USEPA. To the extent practicable, the |
24 | | preceding information shall be provided in computer |
25 | | readable format compatible with USEPA's national database |
|
| | HB4197 | - 102 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | management system. |
2 | | b. The Agency shall not issue the proposed CAAPP |
3 | | permit if USEPA objects in writing within 45 days after |
4 | | receipt of the proposed CAAPP permit and all necessary |
5 | | supporting information. |
6 | | c. If USEPA objects in writing to the issuance of the |
7 | | proposed CAAPP permit within the 45-day period, the Agency |
8 | | shall respond in writing and may revise and resubmit the |
9 | | proposed CAAPP permit in response to the stated objection, |
10 | | to the extent supported by the record, within 90 days |
11 | | after the date of the objection. Prior to submitting a |
12 | | revised permit to USEPA, the Agency shall provide the |
13 | | applicant and any person who participated in the public |
14 | | comment process, pursuant to subsection 8 of this Section, |
15 | | with a 10-day period to comment on any revision which the |
16 | | Agency is proposing to make to the permit in response to |
17 | | USEPA's objection in accordance with Agency procedures. |
18 | | d. Any USEPA objection under this subsection, |
19 | | according to the Clean Air Act, will include a statement |
20 | | of reasons for the objection and a description of the |
21 | | terms and conditions that must be in the permit, in order |
22 | | to adequately respond to the objections. Grounds for a |
23 | | USEPA objection include the failure of the Agency to: (1) |
24 | | submit the items and notices required under this |
25 | | subsection; (2) submit any other information necessary to |
26 | | adequately review the proposed CAAPP permit; or (3) |
|
| | HB4197 | - 103 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | process the permit under subsection 8 of this Section |
2 | | except for minor permit modifications. |
3 | | e. If USEPA does not object in writing to issuance of a |
4 | | permit under this subsection, any person may petition |
5 | | USEPA within 60 days after expiration of the 45-day review |
6 | | period to make such objection. |
7 | | f. If the permit has not yet been issued and USEPA |
8 | | objects to the permit as a result of a petition, the Agency |
9 | | shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection has |
10 | | been resolved. The Agency shall provide a 10-day comment |
11 | | period in accordance with paragraph c of this subsection. |
12 | | A petition does not, however, stay the effectiveness of a |
13 | | permit or its requirements if the permit was issued after |
14 | | expiration of the 45-day review period and prior to a |
15 | | USEPA objection. |
16 | | g. If the Agency has issued a permit after expiration |
17 | | of the 45-day review period and prior to receipt of a USEPA |
18 | | objection under this subsection in response to a petition |
19 | | submitted pursuant to paragraph e of this subsection, the |
20 | | Agency may, upon receipt of an objection from USEPA, |
21 | | revise and resubmit the permit to USEPA pursuant to this |
22 | | subsection after providing a 10-day comment period in |
23 | | accordance with paragraph c of this subsection. If the |
24 | | Agency fails to submit a revised permit in response to the |
25 | | objection, USEPA shall modify, terminate or revoke the |
26 | | permit. In any case, the source will not be in violation of |
|
| | HB4197 | - 104 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | the requirement to have submitted a timely and complete |
2 | | application. |
3 | | h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
4 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
5 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
6 | | necessary, to implement this subsection. |
7 | | 10. Final Agency Action. |
8 | | a. The Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit, permit |
9 | | modification, or permit renewal if all of the following |
10 | | conditions are met: |
11 | | i. The applicant has submitted a complete and |
12 | | certified application for a permit, permit |
13 | | modification, or permit renewal consistent with |
14 | | subsections 5 and 14 of this Section, as applicable, |
15 | | and applicable regulations. |
16 | | ii. The applicant has submitted with its complete |
17 | | application an approvable compliance plan, including a |
18 | | schedule for achieving compliance, consistent with |
19 | | subsection 5 of this Section and applicable |
20 | | regulations. |
21 | | iii. The applicant has timely paid the fees |
22 | | required pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section and |
23 | | applicable regulations. |
24 | | iv. The Agency has received a complete CAAPP |
25 | | application and, if necessary, has requested and |
|
| | HB4197 | - 105 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | received additional information from the applicant |
2 | | consistent with subsection 5 of this Section and |
3 | | applicable regulations. |
4 | | v. The Agency has complied with all applicable |
5 | | provisions regarding public notice and affected State |
6 | | review consistent with subsection 8 of this Section |
7 | | and applicable regulations. |
8 | | vi. The Agency has provided a copy of each CAAPP |
9 | | application, or summary thereof, pursuant to agreement |
10 | | with USEPA and proposed CAAPP permit required under |
11 | | subsection 9 of this Section to USEPA, and USEPA has |
12 | | not objected to the issuance of the permit in |
13 | | accordance with the Clean Air Act and 40 CFR Part 70. |
14 | | b. The Agency shall have the authority to deny a CAAPP |
15 | | permit, permit modification, or permit renewal if the |
16 | | applicant has not complied with the requirements of |
17 | | subparagraphs (i) through (iv) of paragraph (a) of this |
18 | | subsection or if USEPA objects to its issuance. Further, |
19 | | for any of the following construction permits, the Agency |
20 | | shall conduct an evaluation of the prospective owner's or |
21 | | operator's prior experience in owning and operating |
22 | | sources of air pollution: (i) a construction permit for a |
23 | | new source that is to be located in an environmental |
24 | | justice community, that will require a CAAPP permit or a |
25 | | federally enforceable State operating permit, and that |
26 | | would be authorized under that permit to increase annual |
|
| | HB4197 | - 106 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | permitted emissions; (ii) a construction permit for any |
2 | | existing source that is located in an environmental |
3 | | justice community that, on the effective date of this |
4 | | amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, possesses a |
5 | | CAAPP permit or federally enforceable State operating |
6 | | permit and that would be authorized under that permit to |
7 | | increase annual permitted emissions; or (iii) a |
8 | | construction permit for any existing source that is |
9 | | located in an environmental justice community that would |
10 | | require a new CAAPP permit or new federally enforceable |
11 | | State operating permit for the first time and that would |
12 | | be authorized under that permit to increase annual |
13 | | permitted emissions. The Agency has the authority to deny |
14 | | such a permit transaction if the prospective owner or |
15 | | operator or any employee or officer of the prospective |
16 | | owner or operator or board member or manager has a history |
17 | | of: |
18 | | i. repeated violations of federal, State, or local |
19 | | laws, rules, regulations, standards, or ordinances in |
20 | | the ownership or operation of sources of air |
21 | | pollution; |
22 | | ii. conviction in this State, another state, or |
23 | | federal court of knowingly submitting false |
24 | | information under any law, rule, regulation, or permit |
25 | | term or condition regarding the environment; or |
26 | | iii. proof of gross carelessness or incompetence |
|
| | HB4197 | - 107 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | in the ownership or operation of a source of air |
2 | | pollution. |
3 | | c. i. Prior to denial of a CAAPP permit, permit |
4 | | modification, or permit renewal under this Section, |
5 | | the Agency shall notify the applicant of the possible |
6 | | denial and the reasons for the denial. |
7 | | ii. Within such notice, the Agency shall specify |
8 | | an appropriate date by which the applicant shall |
9 | | adequately respond to the Agency's notice. Such date |
10 | | shall not exceed 15 days from the date the |
11 | | notification is received by the applicant. The Agency |
12 | | may grant a reasonable extension for good cause shown. |
13 | | iii. Failure by the applicant to adequately |
14 | | respond by the date specified in the notification or |
15 | | by any granted extension date shall be grounds for |
16 | | denial of the permit. |
17 | | For purposes of obtaining judicial review under |
18 | | Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act, the Agency shall |
19 | | provide to USEPA and each applicant, and, upon |
20 | | request, to affected States, any person who |
21 | | participated in the public comment process, and any |
22 | | other person who could obtain judicial review under |
23 | | Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act, a copy of each CAAPP |
24 | | permit or notification of denial pertaining to that |
25 | | party. |
26 | | d. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
|
| | HB4197 | - 108 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
2 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
3 | | necessary, to implement this subsection. |
4 | | 11. General Permits. |
5 | | a. The Agency may issue a general permit covering |
6 | | numerous similar sources, except for affected sources for |
7 | | acid deposition unless otherwise provided in regulations |
8 | | promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act. |
9 | | b. The Agency shall identify, in any general permit, |
10 | | criteria by which sources may qualify for the general |
11 | | permit. |
12 | | c. CAAPP sources that would qualify for a general |
13 | | permit must apply for coverage under the terms of the |
14 | | general permit or must apply for a CAAPP permit consistent |
15 | | with subsection 5 of this Section and applicable |
16 | | regulations. |
17 | | d. The Agency shall comply with the public comment and |
18 | | hearing provisions of this Section as well as the USEPA |
19 | | and affected State review procedures prior to issuance of |
20 | | a general permit. |
21 | | e. When granting a subsequent request by a qualifying |
22 | | CAAPP source for coverage under the terms of a general |
23 | | permit, the Agency shall not be required to repeat the |
24 | | public notice and comment procedures. The granting of such |
25 | | request shall not be considered a final permit action for |
|
| | HB4197 | - 109 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | purposes of judicial review. |
2 | | f. The Agency may not issue a general permit to cover |
3 | | any discrete emission unit at a CAAPP source if another |
4 | | CAAPP permit covers emission units at the source. |
5 | | g. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
6 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
7 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
8 | | necessary, to implement this subsection. |
9 | | 12. Operational Flexibility. |
10 | | a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make |
11 | | changes at the CAAPP source without requiring a prior |
12 | | permit revision, consistent with subparagraphs (i) through |
13 | | (iii) of paragraph (a) of this subsection, so long as the |
14 | | changes are not modifications under any provision of Title |
15 | | I of the Clean Air Act and they do not exceed the emissions |
16 | | allowable under the permit (whether expressed therein as a |
17 | | rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions), |
18 | | provided that the owner or operator of the CAAPP source |
19 | | provides USEPA and the Agency with written notification as |
20 | | required below in advance of the proposed changes, which |
21 | | shall be a minimum of 7 days, unless otherwise provided by |
22 | | the Agency in applicable regulations regarding |
23 | | emergencies. The owner or operator of a CAAPP source and |
24 | | the Agency shall each attach such notice to their copy of |
25 | | the relevant permit. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 110 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | i. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make |
2 | | Section 502 (b) (10) changes without a permit |
3 | | revision, if the changes are not modifications under |
4 | | any provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act and the |
5 | | changes do not exceed the emissions allowable under |
6 | | the permit (whether expressed therein as a rate of |
7 | | emissions or in terms of total emissions). |
8 | | A. For each such change, the written |
9 | | notification required above shall include a brief |
10 | | description of the change within the source, the |
11 | | date on which the change will occur, any change in |
12 | | emissions, and any permit term or condition that |
13 | | is no longer applicable as a result of the change. |
14 | | B. The permit shield described in paragraph |
15 | | (j) of subsection 7 of this Section shall not |
16 | | apply to any change made pursuant to this |
17 | | subparagraph. |
18 | | ii. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may |
19 | | trade increases and decreases in emissions in the |
20 | | CAAPP source, where the applicable implementation plan |
21 | | provides for such emission trades without requiring a |
22 | | permit revision. This provision is available in those |
23 | | cases where the permit does not already provide for |
24 | | such emissions trading. |
25 | | A. Under this subparagraph (ii) of paragraph |
26 | | (a) of this subsection, the written notification |
|
| | HB4197 | - 111 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | required above shall include such information as |
2 | | may be required by the provision in the applicable |
3 | | implementation plan authorizing the emissions |
4 | | trade, including at a minimum, when the proposed |
5 | | changes will occur, a description of each such |
6 | | change, any change in emissions, the permit |
7 | | requirements with which the source will comply |
8 | | using the emissions trading provisions of the |
9 | | applicable implementation plan, and the pollutants |
10 | | emitted subject to the emissions trade. The notice |
11 | | shall also refer to the provisions in the |
12 | | applicable implementation plan with which the |
13 | | source will comply and provide for the emissions |
14 | | trade. |
15 | | B. The permit shield described in paragraph |
16 | | (j) of subsection 7 of this Section shall not |
17 | | apply to any change made pursuant to subparagraph |
18 | | (ii) of paragraph (a) of this subsection. |
19 | | Compliance with the permit requirements that the |
20 | | source will meet using the emissions trade shall |
21 | | be determined according to the requirements of the |
22 | | applicable implementation plan authorizing the |
23 | | emissions trade. |
24 | | iii. If requested within a CAAPP application, the |
25 | | Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains terms |
26 | | and conditions, including all terms required under |
|
| | HB4197 | - 112 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | subsection 7 of this Section to determine compliance, |
2 | | allowing for the trading of emissions increases and |
3 | | decreases at the CAAPP source solely for the purpose |
4 | | of complying with a federally-enforceable emissions |
5 | | cap that is established in the permit independent of |
6 | | otherwise applicable requirements. The owner or |
7 | | operator of a CAAPP source shall include in its CAAPP |
8 | | application proposed replicable procedures and permit |
9 | | terms that ensure the emissions trades are |
10 | | quantifiable and enforceable. The permit shall also |
11 | | require compliance with all applicable requirements. |
12 | | A. Under this subparagraph (iii) of paragraph |
13 | | (a), the written notification required above shall |
14 | | state when the change will occur and shall |
15 | | describe the changes in emissions that will result |
16 | | and how these increases and decreases in emissions |
17 | | will comply with the terms and conditions of the |
18 | | permit. |
19 | | B. The permit shield described in paragraph |
20 | | (j) of subsection 7 of this Section shall extend |
21 | | to terms and conditions that allow such increases |
22 | | and decreases in emissions. |
23 | | b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make |
24 | | changes that are not addressed or prohibited by the |
25 | | permit, other than those which are subject to any |
26 | | requirements under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or are |
|
| | HB4197 | - 113 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | modifications under any provisions of Title I of the Clean |
2 | | Air Act, without a permit revision, in accordance with the |
3 | | following requirements: |
4 | | (i) Each such change shall meet all applicable |
5 | | requirements and shall not violate any existing permit |
6 | | term or condition; |
7 | | (ii) Sources must provide contemporaneous written |
8 | | notice to the Agency and USEPA of each such change, |
9 | | except for changes that qualify as insignificant under |
10 | | provisions adopted by the Agency or the Board. Such |
11 | | written notice shall describe each such change, |
12 | | including the date, any change in emissions, |
13 | | pollutants emitted, and any applicable requirement |
14 | | that would apply as a result of the change; |
15 | | (iii) The change shall not qualify for the shield |
16 | | described in paragraph (j) of subsection 7 of this |
17 | | Section; and |
18 | | (iv) The permittee shall keep a record describing |
19 | | changes made at the source that result in emissions of |
20 | | a regulated air pollutant subject to an applicable |
21 | | Clean Air Act requirement, but not otherwise regulated |
22 | | under the permit, and the emissions resulting from |
23 | | those changes. |
24 | | c. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
25 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
26 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
|
| | HB4197 | - 114 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | necessary to implement this subsection. |
2 | | 13. Administrative Permit Amendments. |
3 | | a. The Agency shall take final action on a request for |
4 | | an administrative permit amendment within 60 days after |
5 | | receipt of the request. Neither notice nor an opportunity |
6 | | for public and affected State comment shall be required |
7 | | for the Agency to incorporate such revisions, provided it |
8 | | designates the permit revisions as having been made |
9 | | pursuant to this subsection. |
10 | | b. The Agency shall submit a copy of the revised |
11 | | permit to USEPA. |
12 | | c. For purposes of this Section the term |
13 | | "administrative permit amendment" shall be defined as a |
14 | | permit revision that can accomplish one or more of the |
15 | | changes described below: |
16 | | i. Corrects typographical errors; |
17 | | ii. Identifies a change in the name, address, or |
18 | | phone number of any person identified in the permit, |
19 | | or provides a similar minor administrative change at |
20 | | the source; |
21 | | iii. Requires more frequent monitoring or |
22 | | reporting by the permittee; |
23 | | iv. Allows for a change in ownership or |
24 | | operational control of a source where the Agency |
25 | | determines that no other change in the permit is |
|
| | HB4197 | - 115 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | necessary, provided that a written agreement |
2 | | containing a specific date for transfer of permit |
3 | | responsibility, coverage, and liability between the |
4 | | current and new permittees has been submitted to the |
5 | | Agency; |
6 | | v. Incorporates into the CAAPP permit the |
7 | | requirements from preconstruction review permits |
8 | | authorized under a USEPA-approved program, provided |
9 | | the program meets procedural and compliance |
10 | | requirements substantially equivalent to those |
11 | | contained in this Section; |
12 | | vi. (Blank); or |
13 | | vii. Any other type of change which USEPA has |
14 | | determined as part of the approved CAAPP permit |
15 | | program to be similar to those included in this |
16 | | subsection. |
17 | | d. The Agency shall, upon taking final action granting |
18 | | a request for an administrative permit amendment, allow |
19 | | coverage by the permit shield in paragraph (j) of |
20 | | subsection 7 of this Section for administrative permit |
21 | | amendments made pursuant to subparagraph (v) of paragraph |
22 | | (c) of this subsection which meet the relevant |
23 | | requirements for significant permit modifications. |
24 | | e. Permit revisions and modifications, including |
25 | | administrative amendments and automatic amendments |
26 | | (pursuant to Sections 408(b) and 403(d) of the Clean Air |

|
|
1 | | Act or regulations promulgated thereunder), for purposes |
2 | | of the acid rain portion of the permit shall be governed by |
3 | | the regulations promulgated under Title IV of the Clean |
4 | | Air Act. Owners or operators of affected sources for acid |
5 | | deposition shall have the flexibility to amend their |
6 | | compliance plans as provided in the regulations |
7 | | promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act. |

15 | | 14. Permit Modifications. |
16 | | a. Minor permit modification procedures. |
17 | | i. The Agency shall review a permit modification |
18 | | using the "minor permit" modification procedures only |
19 | | for those permit modifications that: |
20 | | A. Do not violate any applicable requirement; |
21 | | B. Do not involve significant changes to |
22 | | existing monitoring, reporting, or recordkeeping |
23 | | requirements in the permit; |
24 | | C. Do not require a case-by-case determination |
25 | | of an emission limitation or other standard, or a |
|
| | HB4197 | - 117 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | source-specific determination of ambient impacts, |
2 | | or a visibility or increment analysis; |
3 | | D. Do not seek to establish or change a permit |
4 | | term or condition for which there is no |
5 | | corresponding underlying requirement and which |
6 | | avoids an applicable requirement to which the |
7 | | source would otherwise be subject. Such terms and |
8 | | conditions include: |
9 | | 1. A federally enforceable emissions cap |
10 | | assumed to avoid classification as a |
11 | | modification under any provision of Title I of |
12 | | the Clean Air Act; and |
13 | | 2. An alternative emissions limit approved |
14 | | pursuant to regulations promulgated under |
15 | | Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act; |
16 | | E. Are not modifications under any provision |
17 | | of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and |
18 | | F. Are not required to be processed as a |
19 | | significant modification. |
20 | | ii. Notwithstanding subparagraph (i) of paragraph |
21 | | (a) and subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this |
22 | | subsection, minor permit modification procedures may |
23 | | be used for permit modifications involving the use of |
24 | | economic incentives, marketable permits, emissions |
25 | | trading, and other similar approaches, to the extent |
26 | | that such minor permit modification procedures are |
|
| | HB4197 | - 118 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | explicitly provided for in an applicable |
2 | | implementation plan or in applicable requirements |
3 | | promulgated by USEPA. |
4 | | iii. An applicant requesting the use of minor |
5 | | permit modification procedures shall meet the |
6 | | requirements of subsection 5 of this Section and shall |
7 | | include the following in its application: |
8 | | A. A description of the change, the emissions |
9 | | resulting from the change, and any new applicable |
10 | | requirements that will apply if the change occurs; |
11 | | B. The source's suggested draft permit; |
12 | | C. Certification by a responsible official, |
13 | | consistent with paragraph (e) of subsection 5 of |
14 | | this Section and applicable regulations, that the |
15 | | proposed modification meets the criteria for use |
16 | | of minor permit modification procedures and a |
17 | | request that such procedures be used; and |
18 | | D. Completed forms for the Agency to use to |
19 | | notify USEPA and affected States as required under |
20 | | subsections 8 and 9 of this Section. |
21 | | iv. Within 5 working days after receipt of a |
22 | | complete permit modification application, the Agency |
23 | | shall notify USEPA and affected States of the |
24 | | requested permit modification in accordance with |
25 | | subsections 8 and 9 of this Section. The Agency |
26 | | promptly shall send any notice required under |
|
| | HB4197 | - 119 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | paragraph (d) of subsection 8 of this Section to |
2 | | USEPA. |
3 | | v. The Agency may not issue a final permit |
4 | | modification until after the 45-day review period for |
5 | | USEPA or until USEPA has notified the Agency that |
6 | | USEPA will not object to the issuance of the permit |
7 | | modification, whichever comes first, although the |
8 | | Agency can approve the permit modification prior to |
9 | | that time. Within 90 days after the Agency's receipt |
10 | | of an application under the minor permit modification |
11 | | procedures or 15 days after the end of USEPA's 45-day |
12 | | review period under subsection 9 of this Section, |
13 | | whichever is later, the Agency shall: |
14 | | A. Issue the permit modification as proposed; |
15 | | B. Deny the permit modification application; |
16 | | C. Determine that the requested modification |
17 | | does not meet the minor permit modification |
18 | | criteria and should be reviewed under the |
19 | | significant modification procedures; or |
20 | | D. Revise the draft permit modification and |
21 | | transmit to USEPA the new proposed permit |
22 | | modification as required by subsection 9 of this |
23 | | Section. |
24 | | vi. Any CAAPP source may make the change proposed |
25 | | in its minor permit modification application |
26 | | immediately after it files such application. After the |
|
| | HB4197 | - 120 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | CAAPP source makes the change allowed by the preceding |
2 | | sentence, and until the Agency takes any of the |
3 | | actions specified in items (A) through (C) of |
4 | | subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of this subsection, |
5 | | the source must comply with both the applicable |
6 | | requirements governing the change and the proposed |
7 | | permit terms and conditions. During this time period, |
8 | | the source need not comply with the existing permit |
9 | | terms and conditions it seeks to modify. If the source |
10 | | fails to comply with its proposed permit terms and |
11 | | conditions during this time period, the existing |
12 | | permit terms and conditions which it seeks to modify |
13 | | may be enforced against it. |
14 | | vii. The permit shield under paragraph (j) of |
15 | | subsection 7 of this Section may not extend to minor |
16 | | permit modifications. |
17 | | viii. If a construction permit is required, |
18 | | pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 39 of this Act |
19 | | and regulations thereunder, for a change for which the |
20 | | minor permit modification procedures are applicable, |
21 | | the source may request that the processing of the |
22 | | construction permit application be consolidated with |
23 | | the processing of the application for the minor permit |
24 | | modification. In such cases, the provisions of this |
25 | | Section, including those within subsections 5, 8, and |
26 | | 9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on such |
|
| | HB4197 | - 121 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | applications pursuant to subparagraph (v) of paragraph |
2 | | (a) of subsection 14 of this Section. The source may |
3 | | make the proposed change immediately after filing its |
4 | | application for the minor permit modification. Nothing |
5 | | in this subparagraph shall otherwise affect the |
6 | | requirements and procedures applicable to construction |
7 | | permits. |
8 | | b. Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications. |
9 | | i. Where requested by an applicant within its |
10 | | application, the Agency shall process groups of a |
11 | | source's applications for certain modifications |
12 | | eligible for minor permit modification processing in |
13 | | accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b). |
14 | | ii. Permit modifications may be processed in |
15 | | accordance with the procedures for group processing, |
16 | | for those modifications: |
17 | | A. Which meet the criteria for minor permit |
18 | | modification procedures under subparagraph (i) of |
19 | | paragraph (a) of subsection 14 of this Section; |
20 | | and |
21 | | B. That collectively are below 10 percent of |
22 | | the emissions allowed by the permit for the |
23 | | emissions unit for which change is requested, 20 |
24 | | percent of the applicable definition of major |
25 | | source set forth in subsection 2 of this Section, |
26 | | or 5 tons per year, whichever is least. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 122 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | iii. An applicant requesting the use of group |
2 | | processing procedures shall meet the requirements of |
3 | | subsection 5 of this Section and shall include the |
4 | | following in its application: |
5 | | A. A description of the change, the emissions |
6 | | resulting from the change, and any new applicable |
7 | | requirements that will apply if the change occurs. |
8 | | B. The source's suggested draft permit. |
9 | | C. Certification by a responsible official |
10 | | consistent with paragraph (e) of subsection 5 of |
11 | | this Section, that the proposed modification meets |
12 | | the criteria for use of group processing |
13 | | procedures and a request that such procedures be |
14 | | used. |
15 | | D. A list of the source's other pending |
16 | | applications awaiting group processing, and a |
17 | | determination of whether the requested |
18 | | modification, aggregated with these other |
19 | | applications, equals or exceeds the threshold set |
20 | | under item (B) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph |
21 | | (b) of this subsection. |
22 | | E. Certification, consistent with paragraph |
23 | | (e) of subsection 5 of this Section, that the |
24 | | source has notified USEPA of the proposed |
25 | | modification. Such notification need only contain |
26 | | a brief description of the requested modification. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 123 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | F. Completed forms for the Agency to use to |
2 | | notify USEPA and affected states as required under |
3 | | subsections 8 and 9 of this Section. |
4 | | iv. On a quarterly basis or within 5 business days |
5 | | after receipt of an application demonstrating that the |
6 | | aggregate of a source's pending applications equals or |
7 | | exceeds the threshold level set forth within item (B) |
8 | | of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this |
9 | | subsection, whichever is earlier, the Agency shall |
10 | | promptly notify USEPA and affected States of the |
11 | | requested permit modifications in accordance with |
12 | | subsections 8 and 9 of this Section. The Agency shall |
13 | | send any notice required under paragraph (d) of |
14 | | subsection 8 of this Section to USEPA. |
15 | | v. The provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph |
16 | | (a) of this subsection shall apply to modifications |
17 | | eligible for group processing, except that the Agency |
18 | | shall take one of the actions specified in items (A) |
19 | | through (D) of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of |
20 | | this subsection within 180 days after receipt of the |
21 | | application or 15 days after the end of USEPA's 45-day |
22 | | review period under subsection 9 of this Section, |
23 | | whichever is later. |
24 | | vi. The provisions of subparagraph (vi) of |
25 | | paragraph (a) of this subsection shall apply to |
26 | | modifications for group processing. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 124 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | vii. The provisions of paragraph (j) of subsection |
2 | | 7 of this Section shall not apply to modifications |
3 | | eligible for group processing. |
4 | | c. Significant Permit Modifications. |
5 | | i. Significant modification procedures shall be |
6 | | used for applications requesting significant permit |
7 | | modifications and for those applications that do not |
8 | | qualify as either minor permit modifications or as |
9 | | administrative permit amendments. |
10 | | ii. Every significant change in existing |
11 | | monitoring permit terms or conditions and every |
12 | | relaxation of reporting or recordkeeping requirements |
13 | | shall be considered significant. A modification shall |
14 | | also be considered significant if in the judgment of |
15 | | the Agency action on an application for modification |
16 | | would require decisions to be made on technically |
17 | | complex issues. Nothing herein shall be construed to |
18 | | preclude the permittee from making changes consistent |
19 | | with this Section that would render existing permit |
20 | | compliance terms and conditions irrelevant. |
21 | | iii. Significant permit modifications must meet |
22 | | all the requirements of this Section, including those |
23 | | for applications (including completeness review), |
24 | | public participation, review by affected States, and |
25 | | review by USEPA applicable to initial permit issuance |
26 | | and permit renewal. The Agency shall take final action |
|
| | HB4197 | - 125 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | on significant permit modifications within 9 months |
2 | | after receipt of a complete application. |
3 | | d. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
4 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
5 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
6 | | necessary, to implement this subsection. |
7 | | 15. Reopenings for Cause by the Agency. |
8 | | a. Each issued CAAPP permit shall include provisions |
9 | | specifying the conditions under which the permit will be |
10 | | reopened prior to the expiration of the permit. Such |
11 | | revisions shall be made as expeditiously as practicable. A |
12 | | CAAPP permit shall be reopened and revised under any of |
13 | | the following circumstances, in accordance with procedures |
14 | | adopted by the Agency: |
15 | | i. Additional requirements under the Clean Air Act |
16 | | become applicable to a major CAAPP source for which 3 |
17 | | or more years remain on the original term of the |
18 | | permit. Such a reopening shall be completed not later |
19 | | than 18 months after the promulgation of the |
20 | | applicable requirement. No such revision is required |
21 | | if the effective date of the requirement is later than |
22 | | the date on which the permit is due to expire. |
23 | | ii. Additional requirements (including excess |
24 | | emissions requirements) become applicable to an |
25 | | affected source for acid deposition under the acid |
|
| | HB4197 | - 126 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | rain program. Excess emissions offset plans shall be |
2 | | deemed to be incorporated into the permit upon |
3 | | approval by USEPA. |
4 | | iii. The Agency or USEPA determines that the |
5 | | permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate |
6 | | statements were made in establishing the emissions |
7 | | standards, limitations, or other terms or conditions |
8 | | of the permit. |
9 | | iv. The Agency or USEPA determines that the permit |
10 | | must be revised or revoked to assure compliance with |
11 | | the applicable requirements. |
12 | | b. In the event that the Agency determines that there |
13 | | are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause, |
14 | | consistent with paragraph a of this subsection, it shall |
15 | | file a petition before the Board setting forth the basis |
16 | | for such revocation. In any such proceeding, the Agency |
17 | | shall have the burden of establishing that the permit |
18 | | should be revoked under the standards set forth in this |
19 | | Act and the Clean Air Act. Any such proceeding shall be |
20 | | conducted pursuant to the Board's procedures for |
21 | | adjudicatory hearings and the Board shall render its |
22 | | decision within 120 days of the filing of the petition. |
23 | | The Agency shall take final action to revoke and reissue a |
24 | | CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order. |
25 | | c. Proceedings regarding a reopened CAAPP permit shall |
26 | | follow the same procedures as apply to initial permit |
|
| | HB4197 | - 127 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | issuance and shall affect only those parts of the permit |
2 | | for which cause to reopen exists. |
3 | | d. Reopenings under paragraph (a) of this subsection |
4 | | shall not be initiated before a notice of such intent is |
5 | | provided to the CAAPP source by the Agency at least 30 days |
6 | | in advance of the date that the permit is to be reopened, |
7 | | except that the Agency may provide a shorter time period |
8 | | in the case of an emergency. |
9 | | e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
10 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
11 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
12 | | necessary, to implement this subsection. |
13 | | 16. Reopenings for Cause by USEPA. |
14 | | a. When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate, |
15 | | modify, or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant to |
16 | | subsection 15 of this Section, and thereafter notifies the |
17 | | Agency and the permittee of such finding in writing, the |
18 | | Agency shall forward to USEPA and the permittee a proposed |
19 | | determination of termination, modification, or revocation |
20 | | and reissuance as appropriate, in accordance with |
21 | | paragraph (b) of this subsection. The Agency's proposed |
22 | | determination shall be in accordance with the record, the |
23 | | Clean Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this |
24 | | Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such proposed |
25 | | determination shall not affect the permit or constitute a |
|
| | HB4197 | - 128 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | final permit action for purposes of this Act or the |
2 | | Administrative Review Law. The Agency shall forward to |
3 | | USEPA such proposed determination within 90 days after |
4 | | receipt of the notification from USEPA. If additional time |
5 | | is necessary to submit the proposed determination, the |
6 | | Agency shall request a 90-day extension from USEPA and |
7 | | shall submit the proposed determination within 180 days |
8 | | after receipt of notification from USEPA. |
9 | | b. i. Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA of a |
10 | | proposed determination to terminate or revoke and |
11 | | reissue the permit, the Agency shall file a petition |
12 | | before the Board setting forth USEPA's objection, the |
13 | | permit record, the Agency's proposed determination, |
14 | | and the justification for its proposed determination. |
15 | | The Board shall conduct a hearing pursuant to the |
16 | | rules prescribed by Section 32 of this Act, and the |
17 | | burden of proof shall be on the Agency. |
18 | | ii. After due consideration of the written and |
19 | | oral statements, the testimony and arguments that |
20 | | shall be submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue |
21 | | and enter an interim order for the proposed |
22 | | determination, which shall set forth all changes, if |
23 | | any, required in the Agency's proposed determination. |
24 | | The interim order shall comply with the requirements |
25 | | for final orders as set forth in Section 33 of this |
26 | | Act. Issuance of an interim order by the Board under |
|
| | HB4197 | - 129 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | this paragraph, however, shall not affect the permit |
2 | | status and does not constitute a final action for |
3 | | purposes of this Act or the Administrative Review Law. |
4 | | iii. The Board shall cause a copy of its interim |
5 | | order to be served upon all parties to the proceeding |
6 | | as well as upon USEPA. The Agency shall submit the |
7 | | proposed determination to USEPA in accordance with the |
8 | | Board's Interim Order within 180 days after receipt of |
9 | | the notification from USEPA. |
10 | | c. USEPA shall review the proposed determination to |
11 | | terminate, modify, or revoke and reissue the permit within |
12 | | 90 days after receipt. |
13 | | i. When USEPA reviews the proposed determination |
14 | | to terminate or revoke and reissue and does not |
15 | | object, the Board shall, within 7 days after receipt |
16 | | of USEPA's final approval, enter the interim order as |
17 | | a final order. The final order may be appealed as |
18 | | provided by Title XI of this Act. The Agency shall take |
19 | | final action in accordance with the Board's final |
20 | | order. |
21 | | ii. When USEPA reviews such proposed determination |
22 | | to terminate or revoke and reissue and objects, the |
23 | | Agency shall submit USEPA's objection and the Agency's |
24 | | comments and recommendation on the objection to the |
25 | | Board and permittee. The Board shall review its |
26 | | interim order in response to USEPA's objection and the |
|
| | HB4197 | - 130 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Agency's comments and recommendation and issue a final |
2 | | order in accordance with Sections 32 and 33 of this |
3 | | Act. The Agency shall, within 90 days after receipt of |
4 | | such objection, respond to USEPA's objection in |
5 | | accordance with the Board's final order. |
6 | | iii. When USEPA reviews such proposed |
7 | | determination to modify and objects, the Agency shall, |
8 | | within 90 days after receipt of the objection, resolve |
9 | | the objection and modify the permit in accordance with |
10 | | USEPA's objection, based upon the record, the Clean |
11 | | Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act, |
12 | | and regulations promulgated thereunder. |
13 | | d. If the Agency fails to submit the proposed |
14 | | determination pursuant to paragraph a of this subsection |
15 | | or fails to resolve any USEPA objection pursuant to |
16 | | paragraph c of this subsection, USEPA will terminate, |
17 | | modify, or revoke and reissue the permit. |
18 | | e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
19 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
20 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
21 | | necessary, to implement this subsection. |
22 | | 17. Title IV; Acid Rain Provisions. |
23 | | a. The Agency shall act on initial CAAPP applications |
24 | | for affected sources for acid deposition in accordance |
25 | | with this Section and Title V of the Clean Air Act and |
|
| | HB4197 | - 131 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | regulations promulgated thereunder, except as modified by |
2 | | Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations promulgated |
3 | | thereunder. The Agency shall issue initial CAAPP permits |
4 | | to the affected sources for acid deposition which shall |
5 | | become effective no earlier than January 1, 1995, and |
6 | | which shall terminate on December 31, 1999, in accordance |
7 | | with this Section. Subsequent CAAPP permits issued to |
8 | | affected sources for acid deposition shall be issued for a |

10 | | regulations promulgated thereunder, including but not |
11 | | limited to 40 C.F.R. Part 72, as now or hereafter amended, |
12 | | are applicable to and enforceable under this Act. |
13 | | b. A designated representative of an affected source |
14 | | for acid deposition shall submit a timely and complete |
15 | | Phase II acid rain permit application and compliance plan |

3 | | the source submitted a timely and complete Phase II permit |
4 | | application and compliance plan to the Agency that meets |
5 | | the requirements of Title IV and V of the Clean Air Act and |
6 | | regulations. |
7 | | c. Each Phase II acid rain permit issued in accordance |
8 | | with this subsection shall have a fixed term of 5 years. |
9 | | Except as provided in paragraph b above, the Agency shall |

19 | | permit application and compliance plan in accordance with |
20 | | this Section and Title V of the Clean Air Act and its |
21 | | regulations, except as modified by Title IV of the Clean |
22 | | Air Act and its regulations. The Agency shall reopen the |
23 | | new unit's CAAPP permit for cause to incorporate the |
24 | | approved Phase II acid rain permit in accordance with this |
25 | | Section. The Phase II acid rain permit for the new unit |
26 | | shall become effective no later than the date required |

|
|
1 | | representative, all affected units for acid deposition at |
2 | | the affected source, and any other unit, as defined in |
3 | | Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, governed by the Phase II |
4 | | acid rain permit application and shall be enforceable as |
5 | | an acid rain permit for purposes of Titles IV and V of the |

7 | | permit application until a Phase II acid rain permit is |
8 | | issued or denied by the Agency. |
9 | | h. The Agency shall not include or implement any |
10 | | measure which would interfere with or modify the |

20 | | provided that such increases do not require a permit |
21 | | revision under any other applicable requirement. |
22 | | ii. No limit shall be placed on the number of |
23 | | allowances held by the source. The source may not, |

|
| | HB4197 | - 135 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | according to the procedures established in regulations |

9 | | k. The USEPA may intervene as a matter of right in any |
10 | | permit appeal involving a Phase II acid rain permit |
11 | | provision or denial of a Phase II acid rain permit. |
12 | | l. It is unlawful for any owner or operator to violate |

|
| | HB4197 | - 136 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, from the requirements |
2 | | of the acid rain program in accordance with Title IV of the |
3 | | Clean Air Act and its regulations. |
4 | | o. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
5 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
6 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
7 | | necessary to implement this subsection. |
8 | | 18. Fee Provisions. |
9 | | a. A source subject to this Section or excluded under |
10 | | subsection 1.1 or paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this |
11 | | Section, shall pay a fee as provided in this paragraph (a) |
12 | | of subsection 18. However, a source that has been excluded |
13 | | from the provisions of this Section under subsection 1.1 |
14 | | or under paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this Section |
15 | | because the source emits less than 25 tons per year of any |
16 | | combination of regulated air pollutants, except greenhouse |
17 | | gases, shall pay fees in accordance with paragraph (1) of |
18 | | subsection (b) of Section 9.6. |
19 | | i. The fee for a source allowed to emit less than |
20 | | 100 tons per year of any combination of regulated air |
21 | | pollutants, except greenhouse gases, shall be $1,800 |
22 | | per year, and that fee shall increase, beginning |
23 | | January 1, 2012, to $2,150 per year. |
24 | | ii. The fee for a source allowed to emit 100 tons |
25 | | or more per year of any combination of regulated air |
|
| | HB4197 | - 137 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | pollutants, except greenhouse gases and those |
2 | | regulated air pollutants excluded in paragraph (f) of |
3 | | this subsection 18, shall be as follows: |
4 | | A. The Agency shall assess a fee of $18 per |
5 | | ton, per year for the allowable emissions of |
6 | | regulated air pollutants subject to this |
7 | | subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of subsection |
8 | | 18, and that fee shall increase, beginning January |
9 | | 1, 2012, to $21.50 per ton, per year. These fees |
10 | | shall be used by the Agency and the Board to fund |
11 | | the activities required by Title V of the Clean |
12 | | Air Act including such activities as may be |
13 | | carried out by other State or local agencies |
14 | | pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subsection. The |
15 | | amount of such fee shall be based on the |
16 | | information supplied by the applicant in its |
17 | | complete CAAPP permit application or in the CAAPP |
18 | | permit if the permit has been granted and shall be |
19 | | determined by the amount of emissions that the |
20 | | source is allowed to emit annually, provided |
21 | | however, that the maximum fee for a CAAPP permit |
22 | | under this subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of |
23 | | subsection 18 is $250,000, and increases, |
24 | | beginning January 1, 2012, to $294,000. Beginning |
25 | | January 1, 2012, the maximum fee under this |
26 | | subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of subsection |
|
| | HB4197 | - 138 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | 18 for a source that has been excluded under |
2 | | subsection 1.1 of this Section or under paragraph |
3 | | (c) of subsection 3 of this Section is $4,112. The |
4 | | Agency shall provide as part of the permit |
5 | | application form required under subsection 5 of |
6 | | this Section a separate fee calculation form which |
7 | | will allow the applicant to identify the allowable |
8 | | emissions and calculate the fee. In no event shall |
9 | | the Agency raise the amount of allowable emissions |
10 | | requested by the applicant unless such increases |
11 | | are required to demonstrate compliance with terms |
12 | | of a CAAPP permit. |
13 | | Notwithstanding the above, any applicant may |
14 | | seek a change in its permit which would result in |
15 | | increases in allowable emissions due to an |
16 | | increase in the hours of operation or production |
17 | | rates of an emission unit or units and such a |
18 | | change shall be consistent with the construction |
19 | | permit requirements of the existing State permit |
20 | | program, under subsection (a) of Section 39 of |
21 | | this Act and applicable provisions of this |
22 | | Section. Where a construction permit is required, |
23 | | the Agency shall expeditiously grant such |
24 | | construction permit and shall, if necessary, |
25 | | modify the CAAPP permit based on the same |
26 | | application. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 139 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | B. The applicant or permittee may pay the fee |
2 | | annually or semiannually for those fees greater |
3 | | than $5,000. However, any applicant paying a fee |
4 | | equal to or greater than $100,000 shall pay the |
5 | | full amount on July 1, for the subsequent fiscal |
6 | | year, or pay 50% of the fee on July 1 and the |
7 | | remaining 50% by the next January 1. The Agency |
8 | | may change any annual billing date upon reasonable |
9 | | notice, but shall prorate the new bill so that the |
10 | | permittee or applicant does not pay more than its |
11 | | required fees for the fee period for which payment |
12 | | is made. |
13 | | b. (Blank). |
14 | | c. (Blank). |
15 | | d. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a |
16 | | special fund to be known as the Clean Air Act Permit Fund |
17 | | (formerly known as the CAA Permit Fund). All Funds |
18 | | collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection shall |
19 | | be deposited into the Fund. The General Assembly shall |
20 | | appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and to the |
21 | | Board to carry out their obligations under this Section. |
22 | | The General Assembly may also authorize monies to be |
23 | | granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State and |
24 | | local agencies which perform duties related to the CAAPP. |
25 | | Interest generated on the monies deposited in this Fund |
26 | | shall be returned to the Fund. |
|
| | HB4197 | - 140 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt |
2 | | procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois |
3 | | Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems |
4 | | necessary to implement this subsection. |
5 | | f. For purposes of this subsection, the term |
6 | | "regulated air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to |
7 | | it under subsection 1 of this Section but shall exclude |
8 | | the following: |
9 | | i. carbon monoxide; |
10 | | ii. any Class I or II substance which is a |
11 | | regulated air pollutant solely because it is listed |
12 | | pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act; and |
13 | | iii. any pollutant that is a regulated air |
14 | | pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard |
15 | | or regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air |
16 | | Act based on the emissions allowed in the permit |
17 | | effective in that calendar year, at the time the |
18 | | applicable bill is generated. |
19 | | 19. Air Toxics Provisions. |
20 | | a. In the event that the USEPA fails to promulgate in a |
21 | | timely manner a standard pursuant to Section 112(d) of the |
22 | | Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority to |
23 | | issue permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean Air |
24 | | Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, which contain |
25 | | emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission |
|
| | HB4197 | - 141 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | limitations that would apply to a source if an emission |
2 | | standard had been promulgated in a timely manner by USEPA |
3 | | pursuant to Section 112(d). Provided, however, that the |
4 | | owner or operator of a source shall have the opportunity |
5 | | to submit to the Agency a proposed emission limitation |
6 | | which it determines to be equivalent to the emission |
7 | | limitations that would apply to such source if an emission |
8 | | standard had been promulgated in a timely manner by USEPA. |
9 | | If the Agency refuses to include the emission limitation |
10 | | proposed by the owner or operator in a CAAPP permit, the |
11 | | owner or operator may petition the Board to establish |
12 | | whether the emission limitation proposal submitted by the |
13 | | owner or operator provides for emission limitations which |
14 | | are equivalent to the emission limitations that would |
15 | | apply to the source if the emission standard had been |
16 | | promulgated by USEPA in a timely manner. The Board shall |
17 | | determine whether the emission limitation proposed by the |
18 | | owner or operator or an alternative emission limitation |
19 | | proposed by the Agency provides for the level of control |
20 | | required under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall |
21 | | otherwise establish an appropriate emission limitation, |
22 | | pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. |
23 | | b. Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a) or |
24 | | (e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to the |
25 | | Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and the Board |
26 | | shall render its decision within 120 days of the filing of |
|
| | HB4197 | - 142 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | the petition. Any such decision shall be subject to review |
2 | | pursuant to Section 41 of this Act. Where USEPA |
3 | | promulgates an applicable emission standard prior to the |
4 | | issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall include in |
5 | | the permit the promulgated standard, provided that the |
6 | | source shall have the compliance period provided under |
7 | | Section 112(i) of the Clean Air Act. Where USEPA |
8 | | promulgates an applicable standard subsequent to the |
9 | | issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall revise such |
10 | | permit upon the next renewal to reflect the promulgated |
11 | | standard, providing a reasonable time for the applicable |
12 | | source to comply with the standard, but no longer than 8 |
13 | | years after the date on which the source is first required |
14 | | to comply with the emissions limitation established under |
15 | | this subsection. |
16 | | c. The Agency shall have the authority to implement |
17 | | and enforce complete or partial emission standards |
18 | | promulgated by USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d), and |
19 | | standards promulgated by USEPA pursuant to Sections |
20 | | 112(f), 112(h), 112(m), and 112(n), and may accept |
21 | | delegation of authority from USEPA to implement and |
22 | | enforce Section 112(l) and requirements for the prevention |
23 | | and detection of accidental releases pursuant to Section |
24 | | 112(r) of the Clean Air Act. |
25 | | d. The Agency shall have the authority to issue |
26 | | permits pursuant to Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air |
|
| | HB4197 | - 143 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Act. |
2 | | e. The Agency has the authority to implement Section |
3 | | 112(g) of the Clean Air Act consistent with the Clean Air |
4 | | Act and federal regulations promulgated thereunder. If the |
5 | | Agency refuses to include the emission limitations |
6 | | proposed in an application submitted by an owner or |
7 | | operator for a case-by-case maximum achievable control |
8 | | technology (MACT) determination, the owner or operator may |
9 | | petition the Board to determine whether the emission |
10 | | limitation proposed by the owner or operator or an |
11 | | alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency |
12 | | provides for a level of control required by Section 112 of |
13 | | the Clean Air Act, or to otherwise establish an |
14 | | appropriate emission limitation under Section 112 of the |
15 | | Clean Air Act. |
16 | | 20. Small Business. |
17 | | a. For purposes of this subsection: |
18 | | "Program" is the Small Business Stationary Source |
19 | | Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Program |

9 | | "Small Business Act"; |
10 | | 3. is not a major source as that term is defined in |
11 | | subsection 2 of this Section; |
12 | | 4. does not emit 50 tons or more per year of any |
13 | | regulated air pollutant, except greenhouse gases; and |
14 | | 5. emits less than 75 tons per year of all |
15 | | regulated pollutants, except greenhouse gases. |
16 | | b. The Agency shall adopt and submit to USEPA, after |
17 | | reasonable notice and opportunity for public comment, as a |
18 | | revision to the Illinois state implementation plan, plans |
19 | | for establishing the Program. |
20 | | c. The Agency shall have the authority to enter into |
21 | | such contracts and agreements as the Agency deems |

22 | | Sec. 40. Appeal of permit denial. |
23 | | (a)(1) If the Agency refuses to grant or grants with |
24 | | conditions a permit under Section 39 of this Act, the |
25 | | applicant may, within 35 days after the date on which the |
|
| | HB4197 | - 150 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | Agency served its decision on the applicant, petition for a |
2 | | hearing before the Board to contest the decision of the |
3 | | Agency. However, the 35-day period for petitioning for a |
4 | | hearing may be extended for an additional period of time not to |
5 | | exceed 90 days by written notice provided to the Board from the |
6 | | applicant and the Agency within the initial appeal period. The |
7 | | Board shall give 21 days' notice to any person in the county |
8 | | where is located the facility in issue who has requested |
9 | | notice of enforcement proceedings and to each member of the |
10 | | General Assembly in whose legislative district that |
11 | | installation or property is located; and shall publish that |
12 | | 21-day notice in a newspaper of general circulation in that |
13 | | county. The Agency shall appear as respondent in such hearing. |
14 | | At such hearing the rules prescribed in Section 32 and |
15 | | subsection (a) of Section 33 of this Act shall apply, and the |
16 | | burden of proof shall be on the petitioner. If, however, the |
17 | | Agency issues an NPDES permit that imposes limits which are |
18 | | based upon a criterion or denies a permit based upon |
19 | | application of a criterion, then the Agency shall have the |
20 | | burden of going forward with the basis for the derivation of |
21 | | those limits or criterion which were derived under the Board's |
22 | | rules. |
23 | | (2) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(3), if there is no |
24 | | final action by the Board within 120 days after the date on |
25 | | which it received the petition, the petitioner may deem the |
26 | | permit issued under this Act, provided, however, that that |
|
| | HB4197 | - 151 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | period of 120 days shall not run for any period of time, not to |
2 | | exceed 30 days, during which the Board is without sufficient |
3 | | membership to constitute the quorum required by subsection (a) |
4 | | of Section 5 of this Act, and provided further that such 120 |
5 | | day period shall not be stayed for lack of quorum beyond 30 |
6 | | days regardless of whether the lack of quorum exists at the |
7 | | beginning of such 120-day period or occurs during the running |
8 | | of such 120-day period. |
9 | | (3) Paragraph (a)(2) shall not apply to any permit which |
10 | | is subject to subsection (b), (d) or (e) of Section 39. If |
11 | | there is no final action by the Board within 120 days after the |
12 | | date on which it received the petition, the petitioner shall |
13 | | be entitled to an Appellate Court order pursuant to subsection |
14 | | (d) of Section 41 of this Act. |
15 | | (b) If the Agency grants a RCRA permit for a hazardous |
16 | | waste disposal site, a third party, other than the permit |
17 | | applicant or Agency, may, within 35 days after the date on |
18 | | which the Agency issued its decision, petition the Board for a |
19 | | hearing to contest the issuance of the permit. Unless the |
20 | | Board determines that such petition is duplicative or |
21 | | frivolous, or that the petitioner is so located as to not be |
22 | | affected by the permitted facility, the Board shall hear the |
23 | | petition in accordance with the terms of subsection (a) of |
24 | | this Section and its procedural rules governing denial |
25 | | appeals, such hearing to be based exclusively on the record |
26 | | before the Agency. The burden of proof shall be on the |
|
| | HB4197 | - 152 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | petitioner. The Agency and the permit applicant shall be named |
2 | | co-respondents. |
3 | | The provisions of this subsection do not apply to the |
4 | | granting of permits issued for the disposal or utilization of |
5 | | sludge from publicly owned sewage works. |
6 | | (c) Any party to an Agency proceeding conducted pursuant |
7 | | to Section 39.3 of this Act may petition as of right to the |
8 | | Board for review of the Agency's decision within 35 days from |
9 | | the date of issuance of the Agency's decision, provided that |
10 | | such appeal is not duplicative or frivolous. However, the |
11 | | 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be extended by |
12 | | the applicant for a period of time not to exceed 90 days by |
13 | | written notice provided to the Board from the applicant and |
14 | | the Agency within the initial appeal period. If another person |
15 | | with standing to appeal wishes to obtain an extension, there |
16 | | must be a written notice provided to the Board by that person, |
17 | | the Agency, and the applicant, within the initial appeal |
18 | | period. The decision of the Board shall be based exclusively |
19 | | on the record compiled in the Agency proceeding. In other |
20 | | respects the Board's review shall be conducted in accordance |
21 | | with subsection (a) of this Section and the Board's procedural |
22 | | rules governing permit denial appeals. |
23 | | (d) In reviewing the denial or any condition of a NA NSR |
24 | | permit issued by the Agency pursuant to rules and regulations |
25 | | adopted under subsection (c) of Section 9.1 of this Act, the |
26 | | decision of the Board shall be based exclusively on the record |
|
| | HB4197 | - 153 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | before the Agency including the record of the hearing, if any, |
2 | | unless the parties agree to supplement the record. The Board |
3 | | shall, if it finds the Agency is in error, make a final |
4 | | determination as to the substantive limitations of the permit |
5 | | including a final determination of Lowest Achievable Emission |
6 | | Rate. |
7 | | (e)(1) If the Agency grants or denies a permit under |
8 | | subsection (b) of Section 39 of this Act, a third party, other |
9 | | than the permit applicant or Agency, may petition the Board |
10 | | within 35 days from the date of issuance of the Agency's |
11 | | decision, for a hearing to contest the decision of the Agency. |
12 | | (2) A petitioner shall include the following within a |
13 | | petition submitted under subdivision (1) of this subsection: |
14 | | (A) a demonstration that the petitioner raised the |
15 | | issues contained within the petition during the public |
16 | | notice period or during the public hearing on the NPDES |
17 | | permit application, if a public hearing was held; and |
18 | | (B) a demonstration that the petitioner is so situated |
19 | | as to be affected by the permitted facility. |
20 | | (3) If the Board determines that the petition is not |
21 | | duplicative or frivolous and contains a satisfactory |
22 | | demonstration under subdivision (2) of this subsection, the |
23 | | Board shall hear the petition (i) in accordance with the terms |
24 | | of subsection (a) of this Section and its procedural rules |
25 | | governing permit denial appeals and (ii) exclusively on the |
26 | | basis of the record before the Agency. The burden of proof |
|
| | HB4197 | - 154 - | LRB103 34760 LNS 64610 b |
|
|
1 | | shall be on the petitioner. The Agency and permit applicant |
2 | | shall be named co-respondents. |
3 | | (f) Any person who files a petition to contest the |
4 | | issuance of a permit by the Agency shall pay a filing fee. |
5 | | (g) If the Agency grants or denies a permit under |
6 | | subsection (y) of Section 39, a third party, other than the |
7 | | permit applicant or Agency, may appeal the Agency's decision |
8 | | as provided under federal law for CCR surface impoundment |
9 | | permits. |
10 | | (h) If the Agency grants a permit to construct, modify, or |
11 | | operate a facility that emits air pollutants and is classified |
12 | | as a minor source, a third party, other than the permit |
13 | | applicant or Agency, may, within 35 days after the date on |
14 | | which the Agency issued its decision, petition the Board for a |
15 | | hearing to contest the issuance of the permit. Unless the |
16 | | Board determines that the petition is duplicative or frivolous |
17 | | or that the petitioner is so located as to not be affected by |
18 | | the permitted facility, the Board shall hear the petition in |
19 | | accordance with the terms of subsection (a) of this Section |
20 | | and its procedural rules governing denial appeals. The hearing |
21 | | shall be based exclusively on the record before the Agency. |
22 | | The burden of proof shall be on the petitioner. The Agency and |
23 | | the permit applicant shall be named co-respondents. |

5 | | 1964. |
6 | | (b) An environmental justice grievance must allege |
7 | | discrimination on the basis of an individual's actual or |

6 | | frivolous or trivial; |
7 | | (2) the complaint is not timely and good cause does |
8 | | not exist to waive timeliness; |
9 | | (3) the Agency, within the time allotted to |
10 | | investigate the complaint, voluntarily concedes |
11 | | noncompliance and agrees to take appropriate remedial |
12 | | action or agrees to an informal resolution of the |

15 | | complaint to be investigated, withdraws the complaint. |

17 | | notice of receipt and acceptance of the complaint under |

19 | | jurisdiction and the merits of the complaint, conduct an |
20 | | investigation, and provide a proposed resolution, if |
21 | | appropriate, to the extent practicable and allowable under |
