1 AN ACT to amend the Environmental Protection Act by
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. Sulfur dioxide emission standards; review;
9 amendments.
10 (a) The Agency shall review all Illinois sulfur dioxide
11 emission standards for existing fuel combustion stationary
12 emission sources located within the Chicago, St. Louis
13 (Illinois), and Peoria major metropolitan areas and, if
14 appropriate following such review, propose amendments to such
15 standards to the Board by July 1, 1980, or within 90 days of
16 receipt of the initial reports required pursuant to Section
17 6.1 of this Act, whichever is later. The standards proposed
18 by the Agency shall be designed to enhance the use of
19 Illinois coal, consistent with the need to attain and
20 maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
21 sulfur dioxide and particulate matter.
22 (b) In granting any alternative emission standard or
23 variance relating to sulfur dioxide emissions from a
24 coal-burning stationary source, the Board may require the use
25 of Illinois coal as a condition of such alternative standard
26 or variance, provided that the Board determines that Illinois
27 coal of the proper quality is available and competitive in
28 price; such determination shall include consideration of the
29 cost of pollution control equipment and the economic impact
30 on the Illinois coal mining industry.
