| 1 | | AN ACT concerning safety.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 3.160 as follows: | 6 | | (415 ILCS 5/3.160) (was 415 ILCS 5/3.78 and 3.78a) | 7 | | Sec. 3.160. Construction or demolition debris. | 8 | | (a) "General construction or demolition debris" means | 9 | | non-hazardous,
uncontaminated materials resulting from the | 10 | | construction, remodeling, repair,
and demolition of utilities, | 11 | | structures, and roads, limited to the following:
bricks, | 12 | | concrete, and other masonry materials; soil; rock; wood, | 13 | | including
non-hazardous painted, treated, and coated wood and | 14 | | wood products; wall
coverings; plaster; drywall; plumbing | 15 | | fixtures; non-asbestos insulation;
roofing shingles and other | 16 | | roof coverings; reclaimed or other asphalt pavement; glass;
| 17 | | plastics that are not sealed in a manner that conceals waste; | 18 | | electrical
wiring and components containing no hazardous | 19 | | substances; and corrugated cardboard, piping or metals
| 20 | | incidental to any of those materials. | 21 | | General construction or demolition debris does not include | 22 | | uncontaminated
soil generated during construction, remodeling, | 23 | | repair, and demolition of
utilities, structures, and roads |
| | | HB5815 | - 2 - | LRB100 19107 MJP 34366 b |
|
| 1 | | provided the uncontaminated soil is not
commingled with any | 2 | | general construction or demolition debris or other waste. | 3 | | To the extent allowed by federal law, uncontaminated | 4 | | concrete with protruding rebar shall be considered clean | 5 | | construction or demolition debris and shall not be considered | 6 | | "waste" if it is separated or processed and returned to the | 7 | | economic mainstream in the form of raw materials or products | 8 | | within 4 years of its generation, if it is not speculatively | 9 | | accumulated and, if used as a fill material, it is used in | 10 | | accordance with item (i) in subsection (b) of this Section.
| 11 | | (b) "Clean construction or demolition debris" means
| 12 | | uncontaminated broken concrete without protruding metal bars, | 13 | | bricks, rock,
stone, reclaimed or other asphalt pavement, or | 14 | | soil generated from construction or
demolition activities. | 15 | | Clean construction or demolition debris does not include | 16 | | uncontaminated soil
generated during construction, remodeling, | 17 | | repair, and demolition of utilities,
structures, and roads | 18 | | provided the uncontaminated soil is not commingled with
any | 19 | | clean construction or demolition debris or other waste. | 20 | | To the extent allowed by federal law, clean construction or | 21 | | demolition debris
shall not be considered "waste" if it is (i) | 22 | | used as fill material outside of a setback zone if the fill is | 23 | | placed no higher than the
highest point of elevation existing | 24 | | prior to the filling immediately adjacent
to the fill area, and | 25 | | if covered by sufficient uncontaminated soil to
support | 26 | | vegetation within 30 days of the completion of filling or if |
| | | HB5815 | - 3 - | LRB100 19107 MJP 34366 b |
|
| 1 | | covered
by a road or structure, and, if used as fill material | 2 | | in a current or former quarry, mine, or other excavation, is | 3 | | used in accordance with the requirements of Section 22.51 of | 4 | | this Act and the rules adopted thereunder or (ii) separated or | 5 | | processed and returned to the
economic mainstream in the form | 6 | | of raw materials or products, if it is not
speculatively | 7 | | accumulated and, if used as a fill material, it is used in
| 8 | | accordance with item (i), or (iii) solely
broken concrete | 9 | | without protruding metal bars used for erosion control, or
(iv) | 10 | | generated from the construction or demolition of a building, | 11 | | road, or
other structure and used to construct, on the site | 12 | | where the construction or
demolition has taken place, a manmade
| 13 | | functional structure not to exceed 20 feet above the highest | 14 | | point of
elevation of the property immediately adjacent to the | 15 | | new manmade functional
structure as that elevation existed | 16 | | prior to the creation of that new
structure,
provided that the | 17 | | structure shall be covered with sufficient soil
materials to | 18 | | sustain vegetation or by a road or structure, and further
| 19 | | provided that no such structure shall be constructed within
a | 20 | | home rule municipality with a population over 500,000 without | 21 | | the consent
of the municipality.
| 22 | | For purposes of this subsection (b), reclaimed or other | 23 | | asphalt pavement shall not be considered speculatively | 24 | | accumulated if: (i) it is not commingled with any other clean | 25 | | construction or demolition debris or any waste; (ii) it is | 26 | | returned to the economic mainstream in the form of raw |
| | | HB5815 | - 4 - | LRB100 19107 MJP 34366 b |
|
| 1 | | materials or products within 4 years after its generation; | 2 | | (iii) at least 25% of the total amount present at a site during | 3 | | a calendar year is transported off of the site during the next | 4 | | calendar year; and (iv) if used as a fill material, it is used | 5 | | in accordance with item (i) of the second paragraph of this | 6 | | subsection (b).
| 7 | | (c) For purposes of this Section, the term "uncontaminated | 8 | | soil" means soil that does not contain contaminants in | 9 | | concentrations that pose a threat to human health and safety | 10 | | and the environment. | 11 | | (1) No later than one year after the effective date of | 12 | | this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, the | 13 | | Agency shall propose, and, no later than one year after | 14 | | receipt of the Agency's proposal, the Board shall adopt, | 15 | | rules specifying the maximum concentrations of | 16 | | contaminants that may be present in uncontaminated soil for | 17 | | purposes of this Section. The maximum concentrations for | 18 | | inorganics and ionizing organics in uncontaminated soil | 19 | | shall be consistent with the soil remediation objectives in | 20 | | Table C of Appendix B of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742. For | 21 | | carcinogens, the maximum concentrations shall not allow | 22 | | exposure to exceed an excess upper-bound lifetime risk of 1 | 23 | | in 1,000,000; provided that if the most stringent | 24 | | remediation objective or applicable background | 25 | | concentration for a contaminant set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. | 26 | | Code 742 is greater than the concentration that would allow |
| | | HB5815 | - 5 - | LRB100 19107 MJP 34366 b |
|
| 1 | | exposure at an excess upper-bound lifetime risk of 1 in | 2 | | 1,000,000, the Board may consider allowing that | 3 | | contaminant in concentrations up to its most stringent | 4 | | remediation objective or applicable background | 5 | | concentration set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742 in soil | 6 | | used as fill material in a current or former quarry, mine, | 7 | | or other excavation in accordance with Section 22.51 or | 8 | | 22.51a of this Act and rules adopted under those Sections. | 9 | | Any background concentration set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code | 10 | | 742 that is adopted as a maximum concentration must be | 11 | | based upon the location of the quarry, mine, or other | 12 | | excavation where the soil is used as fill material. | 13 | | (2) To the extent allowed under federal law and | 14 | | regulations, uncontaminated soil shall not be considered a | 15 | | waste. | 16 | | (Source: P.A. 96-235, eff. 8-11-09; 96-1416, eff. 7-30-10; | 17 | | 97-137, eff. 7-14-11.)
