5 Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended
6 by changing Section 22.14 as follows:
7 (415 ILCS 5/22.14) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1022.14)
8 Sec. 22.14. Garbage transfer station.
9 (a) No person may establish any pollution control
10 facility for use as a garbage transfer station, which is
11 located less than 1000 feet from the nearest property zoned
12 for primarily residential uses or within 1000 feet of any
13 dwelling, except in counties of at least 3,000,000
14 inhabitants. In counties of at least 3,000,000 inhabitants,
15 no person may establish any pollution control facility for
16 use as a garbage transfer station which is located less than
17 1000 feet from the nearest property zoned for primarily
18 residential uses, provided, however, a station which is
19 located in an industrial area of 10 or more contiguous acres
20 may be located within 1000 feet but no closer than 800 feet
21 from the nearest property zoned for primarily residential
22 uses. However, in a county with over 300,000 and less than
23 350,000 inhabitants, a station used for the transfer or
24 separation of waste for recycling or disposal in a sanitary
25 landfill that is located in an industrial area of 10 or more
26 acres may be located within 1000 feet but no closer than 800
27 feet from the nearest property zoned for primarily
28 residential uses.
29 (b) This Section does not prohibit (i) any such facility
30 which is in existence on January 1, 1988, nor (ii) any
31 facility in existence on January 1, 1988, as expanded before
-2- LRB9009289LDmb
1 January 1, 1990, to include processing and transferring of
2 municipal wastes for both recycling and disposal purposes,
3 nor (iii) any such facility which becomes nonconforming due
4 to a change in zoning or the establishment of a dwelling
5 which occurs after the establishment of the facility, nor
6 (iv) any facility established by a municipality with a
7 population in excess of 1,000,000, nor (v) any transfer
8 facility operating on January 1, 1988. No facility described
9 in item (ii) shall, after July 14, 1995, accept landscape
10 waste and other municipal waste in the same vehicle load.
11 However, the use of an existing pollution control facility as
12 a garbage transfer station shall be deemed to be the
13 establishment of a new facility, and shall be subject to
14 subsection (a), if such facility had not been used as a
15 garbage transfer station within one year prior to January 1,
16 1988.
