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.

Sec. 32. Limitations on groundwater and property use.
(a) In connection with the decommissioning of a source material milling
facility or the termination of the facility's license, the Agency shall
have
the authority to adopt by rule, or impose by order or license amendment or
condition, restrictions on the use of groundwater on any property that has been
licensed for
the milling of source material and any property downgradient from the property
that has been licensed for the milling of source material where the groundwater
impacted
by a licensed facility has constituents above naturally-occurring levels and
is in excess of the groundwater standards enforceable by the Agency.
(b) In connection with the decommissioning of a source material milling
facility or the termination of the facility's license, the Agency shall
have
the authority to adopt by rule, or impose by order or license amendment or
condition, restrictions on property that has been licensed for the milling
of source material where the soil has constituents above naturally-occurring
levels to limit or prohibit:
(1) the construction of basements or other similar |
| below-ground structures, other than footings or pilings, on any portion of the property where elevated levels of the constituents are present in the soil; and
|
|
(2) the excavation of soil from a portion of the
|
| property where elevated levels of the constituents are present in the excavated soil, unless the excavated soil is (i) disposed of in a facility licensed or permitted to dispose of that soil or (ii) returned to the approximate depth from which it was excavated and covered with an equivalent cover.
|
|
(c) The authority granted to the Agency under this Section is intended
to
secure the greatest protection of the public health and safety practicable in
the decommissioning of a source material milling facility or the termination of
the facility's license and shall be in addition to the authority granted under
the Radiation Protection Act of 1990.
