At the request of a unit of local government to which a
siting approval application for a new pollution control facility
for the storage, treatment or disposal of hazardous waste has been made,
pursuant to Section 39.2 of the Environmental Protection
Act, the Department shall evaluate the public health implications of such
proposed facility.
Such request shall be made to the Department within 14 days of the filing

unit of local government within 75 days of the request. Such evaluation
shall be made available for public inspection and shall be made part of the

consider that evaluation in making its determination only upon its finding
that the delay has not resulted in material prejudice to the applicant or the
public.
