(70 ILCS 3105/24) (from Ch. 85, par. 1674)
Sec. 24. After the effective date of this Act, no district, person, firm or
corporation, public or private, may establish a new solid waste disposal
site or facility without first obtaining a permit from the Environmental
Protection Agency under the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act.
Application for such permit shall be on forms provided by the Agency and
shall be accompanied by such supporting documents as the Agency shall
require. Prior to issuing a permit to establish a new solid waste disposal
site or facility the Agency shall review the application and supporting
documents and make an on-site inspection of the proposed site. The Agency
may request the Illinois State Geological Survey of the University of Illinois to prepare a
report concerning the soil characteristics, water table, and other
appropriate physical characteristics of the proposed site. If the proposed
new solid waste disposal site or facility conforms to the minimum standards
provided in such Act, the Agency shall issue a permit for the operation of
such site or facility. If the proposed new solid waste disposal site or
facility does not conform to the minimum standards provided by such Act, no
permit shall be issued and the solid waste disposal site or facility shall
not be constructed or operated.
