Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Petroleum  Underground  Storage  Tanks  Title  of  the      
   Environmental  Protection  Act.   Replaces the system of physical soil      
   classification, groundwater investigation, and site classification for      
   leaking underground storage tanks with a system of site  investigation      
   and  corrective  action.  Provides that, as a part of this system, the      
   owner or operator must submit  various  documents,  including  a  site      
   investigation  plan,  a  site  investigation  budget  (for  owners and      
   operators seeking payment from the Underground Storage Tank  Fund),  a      
   site  investigation  completion  report,  a  corrective action plan, a      
   corrective action budget (for owners  and  operators  seeking  payment      
   from  the  Underground  Storage  Tank  Fund),  and a corrective action      
   completion report.  Increases the maximum  amount  that  an  owner  or      
   operator  of  101  or  more  tanks  in  Illinois  may be paid from the      
   Underground Storage Tank Fund for costs of corrective action during  a      
   calendar year to $3,000,000.    Provides that the Agency shall not pay      
   costs  associated  with  a  corrective  action plan incurred after the      
   Agency provides notification to the owner or operator that  a  revised      
   corrective  action  plan  is  required.  Provides that for purposes of      
   payment for early action costs, fill material shall not be removed  in      
   an  amount  in  excess  of  4  feet  from the outside dimensions of an      
   underground storage tank.  Effective immediately.                           
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that investigations, plans,  and  reports  conducted  or      
   prepared under the Section concerning leaking underground storage tank      
   site  investigations  shall  be  conducted  by a licensed professional      
   engineer and in accordance with the requirements of this Title.             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Increases from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 the  maximum  amount  the      
   Agency  may  approve  from  the  Underground  Storage  Tank  Fund in a      
   calendar year for corrective action or indemnification to an owner  or      
   operator  with  fewer  than  101  tanks.  Increases from $1,000,000 to      
   $1,500,000 the maximum amount per occurrence the  Agency  may  approve      
   from the Fund for corrective action or indemnification.
