2 changing Section 9.2.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended
6 by changing Section 9.2 as follows:
7 (415 ILCS 5/9.2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1009.2)
8 Sec. 9.2. (a) The Agency shall review all Illinois
9 sulfur dioxide emission standards for existing fuel
10 combustion stationary emission sources located within the
11 Chicago, St. Louis (Illinois), and Peoria major metropolitan
12 areas and, if appropriate following that such review, propose
13 amendments to those such standards to the Board by July 1,
14 1980, or within 90 days of receipt of the initial reports
15 required pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Act, whichever is
16 later. The standards proposed by the Agency shall be
17 designed to enhance the use of Illinois coal, consistent with
18 the need to attain and maintain the National Ambient Air
19 Quality Standards for sulfur dioxide and particulate matter.
20 (b) In granting any alternative emission standard or
21 variance relating to sulfur dioxide emissions from a
22 coal-burning stationary source, the Board may require the use
23 of Illinois coal as a condition of such alternative standard
24 or variance, provided that the Board determines that Illinois
25 coal of the proper quality is available and competitive in
26 price; such determination shall include consideration of the
27 cost of pollution control equipment and the economic impact
28 on the Illinois coal mining industry.
