    Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended  by 
changing Section 22.54a as follows:
 
    (415 ILCS 5/22.54a)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on February 1, 2018)
    Sec. 22.54a. Disposal of asphalt roofing shingles. 
    (a)  As used in this Section:
    "BUD" means a beneficial use determination issued under 
Section 22.54 of this Act. 
    "Eligible shingle recycling facility" means a shingle 
recycling facility that:
        (1) is approved for asphalt roofing shingle recycling 
    under a beneficial use determination issued pursuant to 
    Section 22.54 of this Act and is in compliance with the 
    terms of that BUD;
        (2) is listed on the Department of Transportation's 
    "Qualified Producer List of Certified Sources for 
    Reclaimed Asphalt Shingles" or identified as an approved 
    producer of reclaimed asphalt shingles by the Illinois 
    State Toll Highway Authority; and
        (3) accepts all delivered loads of asphalt roofing 
    shingles that can be processed into reclaimed asphalt 
    shingles meeting Department of Transportation or Illinois 
    State Toll Highway Authority specifications. 
    (b) No owner or operator of a sanitary landfill that is 
located within a 25-mile radius of an eligible shingle 
recycling facility a site where asphalt roofing shingles are 
recycled under a Beneficial Use Determination (BUD) issued by 
the Agency pursuant to Section 22.54 of this Act shall accept 
for disposal loads of whole or processed asphalt roofing 
shingles that can be processed into reclaimed asphalt shingles 
meeting Department of Transportation or Illinois State Toll 
Highway Authority specifications.
    (c) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit or restrict a 
sanitary landfill from accepting for disposal asphalt roofing 
shingles that can be processed into reclaimed asphalt shingles 
meeting Department of Transportation or Illinois State Toll 
Highway Authority specifications but that are either 
commingled with municipal waste, including, but not limited to, 
general construction or demolition debris, or rejected by an 
eligible shingle recycling facility. 
    (d)  The owner or operator of an eligible shingle recycling 
facility shall notify the Agency in writing of the name and 
street address of the eligible shingle recycling facility, and 
he or she shall also notify the Agency when the facility's 
status as an eligible shingle recycling facility is rescinded 
or reinstated in accordance with subsection (e) or subsection 
(f) of this Section. The Agency shall post on its website the 
information provided to the Agency under this subsection (d) 
name and address of each site at which the recycling of asphalt 
roofing shingles under a BUD is approved. 
    (e) The Agency may issue a notice of intent to rescind 
recognition as an eligible shingle recycling facility to any 
owner or operator of a shingle recycling facility that, in the 
Agency's judgment, is not in compliance with the terms of the 
facility's BUD. The Agency shall file a copy of the notice with 
the Board no later than 10 days after the date of service of 
the notice on the owner or operator. Each notice issued under 
this subsection (e) shall be served upon the owner or operator, 
or that person's authorized agent for service of process, and 
shall include the following information:
        (1) a statement specifying the provisions of the BUD 
    which were not complied with;
        (2) if non-compliance was observed during an 
    inspection by the Agency, a copy of the inspection report 
    in which the Agency recorded the non-compliance, which 
    report shall include the date and time of inspection, and 
    weather conditions prevailing during the inspection;
        (3) instructions for contesting the notice issued 
    under this subsection (e), including notification that the 
    owner or operator has 35 days within which to file a 
    petition for review before the Board to contest the notice; 
    and
        (4) an affidavit by the personnel observing the 
    non-compliance, attesting to their material actions and 
    observations.
    If the owner or operator fails to petition the Board for 
review of the notice within 35 days after the date of service, 
then the Board shall adopt a final order holding that the 
shingle recycling facility is not an eligible shingle recycling 
facility for purposes of this Section. If, within 35 days after 
the date of service, a petition for review is filed before the 
Board to contest a notice issued under this subsection (e), 
then the Agency shall appear as a complainant at a hearing 
before the Board to be conducted in accordance with Section 32 
of this Act. The hearing shall be held not less than 21 days 
after the Board sends a notice of the hearing to the Agency and 
the owner or operator who petitioned for review of the notice. 
In these hearings, the burden of proof shall be on the Agency. 
If, based on the record, the Board finds that the alleged 
non-compliance occurred, then the Board shall adopt a final 
order holding that the shingle recycling facility is not an 
eligible shingle recycling facility for purposes of this 
Section. 
    (f)  If the Board has determined under subsection (e) of 
this Section that a shingle recycling facility is not an 
eligible shingle recycling facility, then the owner or operator 
of the facility may file with the Board a motion to have the 
facility reinstated as an eligible shingle recycling facility. 
If, at the time the motion is filed, the owner or operator of 
the facility is able to affirmatively demonstrate, to the 
satisfaction of the Board, that all non-compliance at the 
facility has been corrected, that the facility is in compliance 
with its BUD, and that the facility is not subject to any 
pending enforcement action under this Act, then the Board may 
enter an order reinstating the facility as an eligible shingle 
recycling facility for the purposes of this Section.
    Before issuing any order under this subsection (f), the 
Board shall conduct an evaluation of the owner or operator's 
prior experience in asphalt shingle recycling operations. The 
Board may deny a petition for reinstatement under this 
subsection (f) if the owner or operator, or any employee or 
officer of the owner or operator, has a history of repeated 
violations of federal, State, or local laws, regulations, 
rules, standards, or ordinances related to the operation of an 
asphalt shingle recycling facility or site, or a history of 
gross carelessness or incompetence in the handling, storing, 
processing, transporting, disposing, or recycling of asphalt 
shingles. 
    (g) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prevent 
the Agency from issuing an informal warning to an owner or 
operator before issuing a notice of intent to rescind 
recognition as an eligible shingle recycling facility under 
subsection (e) of this Section.
    (h) Sections 10-25 through 10-60 of the Illinois 
Administrative Procedure Act do not apply to proceedings under 
this Section, and the orders issued by the Board under this 
subsection apply in addition to any other remedy or penalty 
that may be provided under this Act or any other law. 
    No later than January 31 of each year, each recipient of a 
BUD for asphalt roofing shingles shall submit a report to the 
Agency that contains the following information: (i) the total 
quantity of asphalt roofing shingles received under the BUD 
during the previous calendar year; (ii) the beneficial uses 
during the previous calendar year of shingles received under 
the BUD; (iii) the total quantity of shingles used in each 
beneficial use during the previous calendar year; and (iv) the 
total quantity and disposition of any shingles received but not 
beneficially used under the BUD during the previous  calendar 
year. The report must be submitted on a form and in a format 
prescribed by the Agency. 
    (i) This Section is repealed on February 1, 2023 2018.
