| Public Act 099-0083 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Nuclear Safety Law of 2004 is amended by | ||||
changing Section 30 as follows: | ||||
(20 ILCS 3310/30)
| ||||
Sec. 30. Powers vested in Environmental Protection Agency. | ||||
(a) The Illinois Emergency Management Agency shall | ||||
exercise, administer, and enforce all rights, powers, and | ||||
duties vested in the Environmental Protection Agency by | ||||
paragraphs a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, 1, m, n, o, p, q, | ||||
and r of Section 4 and by Sections 30 through 45 of the | ||||
Environmental Protection Act, to the extent that these powers | ||||
relate to standards of the Pollution Control Board adopted | ||||
under Section 35 of this Act. The transfer of rights, powers, | ||||
and duties specified in this Section is limited to the programs | ||||
transferred by Public Act 81-1516 and this Act and shall not be | ||||
deemed to abolish or diminish the exercise of those same | ||||
rights, powers, and duties by the Environmental Protection | ||||
Agency with respect to programs retained by the Environmental | ||||
Protection Agency.
| ||||
(b) Notwithstanding provisions in Sections 4 and 17.7 of | ||||
the Environmental Protection Act, the Environmental Protection | ||||
Agency is not required to perform analytical services for | ||
community water supplies to determine compliance with | ||
contaminant levels for radionuclides as specified in State or | ||
federal drinking water regulations.
| ||
(c) Community water supplies may request the Illinois | ||
Emergency Management Agency to perform analytical services to | ||
determine compliance with contaminant levels for radionuclides | ||
as specified in State or federal drinking water regulations. | ||
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency must adopt rules | ||
establishing reasonable fees reflecting the direct and | ||
indirect cost of testing community water supply samples. The | ||
rules may require a community water supply to commit to | ||
participation in the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's | ||
testing program. Neither the Illinois Emergency Management | ||
Agency nor the Environmental Protection Agency is required to | ||
perform analytical services to determine contaminant levels | ||
for radionuclides from any community water supply that does not | ||
participate in the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's | ||
testing program.
| ||
Community water supplies that choose not to participate in | ||
the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's testing program or | ||
do not pay
the fees established by the Illinois Emergency | ||
Management Agency shall have the duty to analyze all drinking | ||
water samples as required by State or federal safe drinking | ||
water regulations to determine radionuclide contaminant | ||
levels.
