(415 ILCS 5/22) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1022)
Sec. 22.
In accord with Title VII of this Act, the Board may adopt
regulations to promote the purposes of this Title. Without limiting the
generality of this authority, such regulations may among other things
prescribe the following:
(a) Standards for the location, design, construction, sanitation,
operation, maintenance, and discontinuance of the operation of refuse
collection and disposal, storage and treatment sites and facilities and
resource conservation and recovery sites and facilities;
(b) Standards for the dumping of any refuse, and standards for the
handling, storing, processing, transporting and disposal of any
hazardous waste;
(c) Requirements and standards for the keeping of records and the
reporting and retaining of data collected by generators, processors,
storers, transporters, handlers, treaters, and disposers of special or
hazardous waste;
(d) Requirements and standards for equipment and procedures for
monitoring contaminant discharges at their source, the collection of
samples and the collection, reporting and retention of data resulting
from such monitoring;
(e) Alert and abatement standards relative to land pollution
emergencies constituting an acute danger to health or to the
environment;
(f) Requirements and standards for adequate and proper care and
maintenance of, closure of, and post-closure monitoring, maintenance and
use of hazardous waste disposal sites;
(g) Requirements to prohibit the disposal of certain hazardous
wastes in sanitary landfills where, after regulatory proceedings held in
conformance with Title VII of this Act, it is determined by the Board that
the long term impacts to public health and the environment are such that
land burial should not be allowed and where an economically reasonable,
technically feasible and environmentally sound alternative is available for
processing, recycling, fixation or neutralization of such wastes. The
agency shall participate in all such proceedings. No such prohibition may
become effective unless a specific alternative technology meeting the
criteria of this subsection is identified by the Board. Nothing in this
subsection shall prohibit the land burial of any hazardous waste which is
the subject of review under this subsection until such time as a final
prohibition order is issued by the Board.
