Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

415 ILCS 5/3.350

(415 ILCS 5/3.350) (was 415 ILCS 5/3.58)

Sec. 3.350. Potential route.

"Potential route" means abandoned
and improperly plugged wells of all kinds, drainage wells, all injection wells,
including closed loop heat pump wells, and any excavation for the discovery,
development or production of stone, sand or gravel. This term does not include closed loop heat pump wells using USP food grade propylene glycol.

A new potential route is:

(1) a potential route which is not in existence or

for which construction has not commenced at its location as of January 1, 1988, or

(2) a potential route which expands laterally beyond

the currently permitted boundary or, if the potential route is not permitted, the boundary in existence as of January 1, 1988.

Construction shall be deemed commenced when all necessary federal,
State and local approvals have been obtained, and work at the site has been
initiated and proceeds in a reasonably continuous manner to completion.
