Amend Senate Bill 356, AS AMENDED, 3 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the 4 following: 5 "Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended 6 by changing Section 39 as follows: 7 (415 ILCS 5/39) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1039) 8 Sec. 39. Issuance of permits; procedures. 9 (a) When the Board has by regulation required a permit 10 for the construction, installation, or operation of any type 11 of facility, equipment, vehicle, vessel, or aircraft, the 12 applicant shall apply to the Agency for such permit and it 13 shall be the duty of the Agency to issue such a permit upon 14 proof by the applicant that the facility, equipment, vehicle, 15 vessel, or aircraft will not cause a violation of this Act or 16 of regulations hereunder. The Agency shall adopt such 17 procedures as are necessary to carry out its duties under 18 this Section. In granting permits the Agency may impose such 19 conditions as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of 20 this Act, and as are not inconsistent with the regulations 21 promulgated by the Board hereunder. Except as otherwise 22 provided in this Act, a bond or other security shall not be -2- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 required as a condition for the issuance of a permit. If the 2 Agency denies any permit under this Section, the Agency shall 3 transmit to the applicant within the time limitations of this 4 Section specific, detailed statements as to the reasons the 5 permit application was denied. Such statements shall 6 include, but not be limited to the following: 7 (i) the Sections of this Act which may be violated 8 if the permit were granted; 9 (ii) the provision of the regulations, promulgated 10 under this Act, which may be violated if the permit were 11 granted; 12 (iii) the specific type of information, if any, 13 which the Agency deems the applicant did not provide the 14 Agency; and 15 (iv) a statement of specific reasons why the Act 16 and the regulations might not be met if the permit were 17 granted. 18 If there is no final action by the Agency within 90 days 19 after the filing of the application for permit, the applicant 20 may deem the permit issued; except that this time period 21 shall be extended to 180 days when (1) notice and 22 opportunity for public hearing are required by State or 23 federal law or regulation, (2) the application which was 24 filed is for any permit to develop a landfill subject to 25 issuance pursuant to this subsection, or (3) the application 26 that was filed is for a MSWLF unit required to issue public 27 notice under subsection (p) of Section 39. 28 The Agency shall publish notice of all final permit 29 determinations for development permits for MSWLF units and 30 for significant permit modifications for lateral expansions 31 for existing MSWLF units one time in a newspaper of general 32 circulation in the county in which the unit is or is proposed 33 to be located. 34 After January 1, 1994 and until July 1, 1998, operating -3- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 permits issued under this Section by the Agency for sources 2 of air pollution permitted to emit less than 25 tons per year 3 of any combination of regulated air pollutants, as defined in 4 Section 39.5 of this Act, shall be required to be renewed 5 only upon written request by the Agency consistent with 6 applicable provisions of this Act and regulations promulgated 7 hereunder. Such operating permits shall expire 180 days 8 after the date of such a request. The Board shall revise its 9 regulations for the existing State air pollution operating 10 permit program consistent with this provision by January 1, 11 1994. 12 After June 30, 1998, operating permits issued under this 13 Section by the Agency for sources of air pollution that are 14 not subject to Section 39.5 of this Act and are not required 15 to have a federally enforceable State operating permit shall 16 be required to be renewed only upon written request by the 17 Agency consistent with applicable provisions of this Act and 18 its rules. Such operating permits shall expire 180 days 19 after the date of such a request. Before July 1, 1998, the 20 Board shall revise its rules for the existing State air 21 pollution operating permit program consistent with this 22 paragraph and shall adopt rules that require a source to 23 demonstrate that it qualifies for a permit under this 24 paragraph. 25 (b) The Agency may issue NPDES permits exclusively under 26 this subsection for the discharge of contaminants from point 27 sources into navigable waters, all as defined in the Federal 28 Water Pollution Control Act, as now or hereafter amended, 29 within the jurisdiction of the State, or into any well. 30 All NPDES permits shall contain those terms and 31 conditions, including but not limited to schedules of 32 compliance, which may be required to accomplish the purposes 33 and provisions of this Act. 34 The Agency may issue general NPDES permits for discharges -4- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 from categories of point sources which are subject to the 2 same permit limitations and conditions. Such general permits 3 may be issued without individual applications and shall 4 conform to regulations promulgated under Section 402 of the 5 Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as now or hereafter 6 amended. 7 The Agency may include, among such conditions, effluent 8 limitations and other requirements established under this 9 Act, Board regulations, the Federal Water Pollution Control 10 Act, as now or hereafter amended, and regulations pursuant 11 thereto, and schedules for achieving compliance therewith at 12 the earliest reasonable date. 13 The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures 14 which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of NPDES 15 permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations 16 adopted by the Board, and with the Federal Water Pollution 17 Control Act, as now or hereafter amended, and regulations 18 pursuant thereto. 19 The Agency, subject to any conditions which may be 20 prescribed by Board regulations, may issue NPDES permits to 21 allow discharges beyond deadlines established by this Act or 22 by regulations of the Board without the requirement of a 23 variance, subject to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 24 as now or hereafter amended, and regulations pursuant 25 thereto. 26 (c) Except for those facilities owned or operated by 27 sanitary districts organized under the Metropolitan Water 28 Reclamation District Act, no permit for the development or 29 construction of a new pollution control facility may be 30 granted by the Agency unless the applicant submits proof to 31 the Agency that the location of the facility has been 32 approved by the County Board of the county if in an 33 unincorporated area, or the governing body of the 34 municipality when in an incorporated area, in which the -5- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 facility is to be located in accordance with Section 39.2 of 2 this Act. 3 In the event that siting approval granted pursuant to 4 Section 39.2 has been transferred to a subsequent owner or 5 operator, that subsequent owner or operator may apply to the 6 Agency for, and the Agency may grant, a development or 7 construction permit for the facility for which local siting 8 approval was granted. Upon application to the Agency for a 9 development or construction permit by that subsequent owner 10 or operator, the permit applicant shall cause written notice 11 of the permit application to be served upon the appropriate 12 county board or governing body of the municipality that 13 granted siting approval for that facility and upon any party 14 to the siting proceeding pursuant to which siting approval 15 was granted. In that event, the Agency shall conduct an 16 evaluation of the subsequent owner or operator's prior 17 experience in waste management operations in the manner 18 conducted under subsection (i) of Section 39 of this Act. 19 Beginning August 20, 1993, if the pollution control 20 facility consists of a hazardous or solid waste disposal 21 facility for which the proposed site is located in an 22 unincorporated area of a county with a population of less 23 than 100,000 and includes all or a portion of a parcel of 24 land that was, on April 1, 1993, adjacent to a municipality 25 having a population of less than 5,000, then the local siting 26 review required under this subsection (c) in conjunction with 27 any permit applied for after that date shall be performed by 28 the governing body of that adjacent municipality rather than 29 the county board of the county in which the proposed site is 30 located; and for the purposes of that local siting review, 31 any references in this Act to the county board shall be 32 deemed to mean the governing body of that adjacent 33 municipality; provided, however, that the provisions of this 34 paragraph shall not apply to any proposed site which was, on -6- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 April 1, 1993, owned in whole or in part by another 2 municipality. 3 In the case of a pollution control facility for which a 4 development permit was issued before November 12, 1981, if an 5 operating permit has not been issued by the Agency prior to 6 August 31, 1989 for any portion of the facility, then the 7 Agency may not issue or renew any development permit nor 8 issue an original operating permit for any portion of such 9 facility unless the applicant has submitted proof to the 10 Agency that the location of the facility has been approved by 11 the appropriate county board or municipal governing body 12 pursuant to Section 39.2 of this Act. 13 After January 1, 1994, if a solid waste disposal 14 facility, any portion for which an operating permit has been 15 issued by the Agency, has not accepted waste disposal for 5 16 or more consecutive calendars years, before that facility may 17 accept any new or additional waste for disposal, the owner 18 and operator must obtain a new operating permit under this 19 Act for that facility unless the owner and operator have 20 applied to the Agency for a permit authorizing the temporary 21 suspension of waste acceptance. The Agency may not issue a 22 new operation permit under this Act for the facility unless 23 the applicant has submitted proof to the Agency that the 24 location of the facility has been approved or re-approved by 25 the appropriate county board or municipal governing body 26 under Section 39.2 of this Act after the facility ceased 27 accepting waste. 28 Except for those facilities owned or operated by sanitary 29 districts organized under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation 30 District Act, and except for new pollution control facilities 31 governed by Section 39.2, and except for fossil fuel mining 32 facilities, the granting of a permit under this Act shall not 33 relieve the applicant from meeting and securing all necessary 34 zoning approvals from the unit of government having zoning -7- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 jurisdiction over the proposed facility. 2 Before beginning construction on any new sewage treatment 3 plant or sludge drying site to be owned or operated by a 4 sanitary district organized under the Metropolitan Water 5 Reclamation District Act for which a new permit (rather than 6 the renewal or amendment of an existing permit) is required, 7 such sanitary district shall hold a public hearing within the 8 municipality within which the proposed facility is to be 9 located, or within the nearest community if the proposed 10 facility is to be located within an unincorporated area, at 11 which information concerning the proposed facility shall be 12 made available to the public, and members of the public shall 13 be given the opportunity to express their views concerning 14 the proposed facility. 15 The Agency may issue a permit for a municipal waste 16 transfer station without requiring approval pursuant to 17 Section 39.2 provided that the following demonstration is 18 made: 19 (1) the municipal waste transfer station was in 20 existence on or before January 1, 1979 and was in 21 continuous operation from January 1, 1979 to January 1, 22 1993; 23 (2) the operator submitted a permit application to 24 the Agency to develop and operate the municipal waste 25 transfer station during April of 1994; 26 (3) the operator can demonstrate that the county 27 board of the county, if the municipal waste transfer 28 station is in an unincorporated area, or the governing 29 body of the municipality, if the station is in an 30 incorporated area, does not object to resumption of the 31 operation of the station; and 32 (4) the site has local zoning approval. 33 (d) The Agency may issue RCRA permits exclusively under 34 this subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for -8- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste as 2 defined under this Act. 3 All RCRA permits shall contain those terms and 4 conditions, including but not limited to schedules of 5 compliance, which may be required to accomplish the purposes 6 and provisions of this Act. The Agency may include among 7 such conditions standards and other requirements established 8 under this Act, Board regulations, the Resource Conservation 9 and Recovery Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-580), as amended, and 10 regulations pursuant thereto, and may include schedules for 11 achieving compliance therewith as soon as possible. The 12 Agency shall require that a performance bond or other 13 security be provided as a condition for the issuance of a 14 RCRA permit. 15 In the case of a permit to operate a hazardous waste or 16 PCB incinerator as defined in subsection (k) of Section 44, 17 the Agency shall require, as a condition of the permit, that 18 the operator of the facility perform such analyses of the 19 waste to be incinerated as may be necessary and appropriate 20 to ensure the safe operation of the incinerator. 21 The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures 22 which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of RCRA 23 permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations 24 adopted by the Board, and with the Resource Conservation and 25 Recovery Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-580), as amended, and 26 regulations pursuant thereto. 27 The applicant shall make available to the public for 28 inspection all documents submitted by the applicant to the 29 Agency in furtherance of an application, with the exception 30 of trade secrets, at the office of the county board or 31 governing body of the municipality. Such documents may be 32 copied upon payment of the actual cost of reproduction during 33 regular business hours of the local office. The Agency shall 34 issue a written statement concurrent with its grant or denial -9- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 of the permit explaining the basis for its decision. 2 (e) The Agency may issue UIC permits exclusively under 3 this subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for 4 the underground injection of contaminants as defined under 5 this Act. 6 All UIC permits shall contain those terms and conditions, 7 including but not limited to schedules of compliance, which 8 may be required to accomplish the purposes and provisions of 9 this Act. The Agency may include among such conditions 10 standards and other requirements established under this Act, 11 Board regulations, the Safe Drinking Water Act (P.L. 93-523), 12 as amended, and regulations pursuant thereto, and may include 13 schedules for achieving compliance therewith. The Agency 14 shall require that a performance bond or other security be 15 provided as a condition for the issuance of a UIC permit. 16 The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures 17 which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of UIC 18 permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations 19 adopted by the Board, and with the Safe Drinking Water Act 20 (P.L. 93-523), as amended, and regulations pursuant thereto. 21 The applicant shall make available to the public for 22 inspection, all documents submitted by the applicant to the 23 Agency in furtherance of an application, with the exception 24 of trade secrets, at the office of the county board or 25 governing body of the municipality. Such documents may be 26 copied upon payment of the actual cost of reproduction during 27 regular business hours of the local office. The Agency shall 28 issue a written statement concurrent with its grant or denial 29 of the permit explaining the basis for its decision. 30 (f) In making any determination pursuant to Section 9.1 31 of this Act: 32 (1) The Agency shall have authority to make the 33 determination of any question required to be determined 34 by the Clean Air Act, as now or hereafter amended, this -10- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 Act, or the regulations of the Board, including the 2 determination of the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate, 3 Maximum Achievable Control Technology, or Best Available 4 Control Technology, consistent with the Board's 5 regulations, if any. 6 (2) The Agency shall, after conferring with the 7 applicant, give written notice to the applicant of its 8 proposed decision on the application including the terms 9 and conditions of the permit to be issued and the facts, 10 conduct or other basis upon which the Agency will rely to 11 support its proposed action. 12 (3) Following such notice, the Agency shall give 13 the applicant an opportunity for a hearing in accordance 14 with the provisions of Sections 10-25 through 10-60 of 15 the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. 16 (g) The Agency shall include as conditions upon all 17 permits issued for hazardous waste disposal sites such 18 restrictions upon the future use of such sites as are 19 reasonably necessary to protect public health and the 20 environment, including permanent prohibition of the use of 21 such sites for purposes which may create an unreasonable risk 22 of injury to human health or to the environment. After 23 administrative and judicial challenges to such restrictions 24 have been exhausted, the Agency shall file such restrictions 25 of record in the Office of the Recorder of the county in 26 which the hazardous waste disposal site is located. 27 (h) A hazardous waste stream may not be deposited in a 28 permitted hazardous waste site unless specific authorization 29 is obtained from the Agency by the generator and disposal 30 site owner and operator for the deposit of that specific 31 hazardous waste stream. The Agency may grant specific 32 authorization for disposal of hazardous waste streams only 33 after the generator has reasonably demonstrated that, 34 considering technological feasibility and economic -11- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 reasonableness, the hazardous waste cannot be reasonably 2 recycled for reuse, nor incinerated or chemically, physically 3 or biologically treated so as to neutralize the hazardous 4 waste and render it nonhazardous. In granting authorization 5 under this Section, the Agency may impose such conditions as 6 may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Act and 7 are consistent with this Act and regulations promulgated by 8 the Board hereunder. If the Agency refuses to grant 9 authorization under this Section, the applicant may appeal as 10 if the Agency refused to grant a permit, pursuant to the 11 provisions of subsection (a) of Section 40 of this Act. For 12 purposes of this subsection (h), the term "generator" has the 13 meaning given in Section 3.12 of this Act, unless: (1) the 14 hazardous waste is treated, incinerated, or partially 15 recycled for reuse prior to disposal, in which case the last 16 person who treats, incinerates, or partially recycles the 17 hazardous waste prior to disposal is the generator; or (2) 18 the hazardous waste is from a response action, in which case 19 the person performing the response action is the generator. 20 This subsection (h) does not apply to any hazardous waste 21 that is restricted from land disposal under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 22 728. 23 (i) Before issuing any RCRA permit or any permit for a 24 waste storage site, sanitary landfill, waste disposal site, 25 waste transfer station, waste treatment facility, waste 26 incinerator, or any waste-transportation operation, the 27 Agency shall conduct an evaluation of the prospective owner's 28 or operator's prior experience in waste management 29 operations. The Agency may deny such a permit if the 30 prospective owner or operator or any employee or officer of 31 the prospective owner or operator has a history of: 32 (1) repeated violations of federal, State, or local 33 laws, regulations, standards, or ordinances in the 34 operation of waste management facilities or sites; or -12- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 (2) conviction in this or another State of any 2 crime which is a felony under the laws of this State, or 3 conviction of a felony in a federal court; or 4 (3) proof of gross carelessness or incompetence in 5 handling, storing, processing, transporting or disposing 6 of waste. 7 (j) The issuance under this Act of a permit to engage in 8 the surface mining of any resources other than fossil fuels 9 shall not relieve the permittee from its duty to comply with 10 any applicable local law regulating the commencement, 11 location or operation of surface mining facilities. 12 (k) A development permit issued under subsection (a) of 13 Section 39 for any facility or site which is required to have 14 a permit under subsection (d) of Section 21 shall expire at 15 the end of 2 calendar years from the date upon which it was 16 issued, unless within that period the applicant has taken 17 action to develop the facility or the site. In the event that 18 review of the conditions of the development permit is sought 19 pursuant to Section 40 or 41, or permittee is prevented from 20 commencing development of the facility or site by any other 21 litigation beyond the permittee's control, such two-year 22 period shall be deemed to begin on the date upon which such 23 review process or litigation is concluded. 24 (k-5) A development or construction permit issued 25 pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section for a facility or 26 site that is required to have a permit under subsection (d) 27 of Section 21 of this Act for a waste-disposal operation 28 shall expire at the end of 10 calendar years after the date 29 upon which it was issued if that facility (i) was exempt from 30 obtaining local siting approval pursuant to Section 39.2 of 31 this Act at the time the development or construction permit 32 for that facility was issued by the Agency and (ii) has not 33 lawfully received waste pursuant to an operating permit 34 issued by the Agency within that 10-year period. -13- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 (l) No permit shall be issued by the Agency under this 2 Act for construction or operation of any facility or site 3 located within the boundaries of any setback zone established 4 pursuant to this Act, where such construction or operation is 5 prohibited. 6 (m) The Agency may issue permits to persons owning or 7 operating a facility for composting landscape waste. In 8 granting such permits, the Agency may impose such conditions 9 as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Act, 10 and as are not inconsistent with applicable regulations 11 promulgated by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in 12 this Act, a bond or other security shall not be required as a 13 condition for the issuance of a permit. If the Agency denies 14 any permit pursuant to this subsection, the Agency shall 15 transmit to the applicant within the time limitations of this 16 subsection specific, detailed statements as to the reasons 17 the permit application was denied. Such statements shall 18 include but not be limited to the following: 19 (1) the Sections of this Act that may be violated 20 if the permit were granted; 21 (2) the specific regulations promulgated pursuant 22 to this Act that may be violated if the permit were 23 granted; 24 (3) the specific information, if any, the Agency 25 deems the applicant did not provide in its application to 26 the Agency; and 27 (4) a statement of specific reasons why the Act and 28 the regulations might be violated if the permit were 29 granted. 30 If no final action is taken by the Agency within 90 days 31 after the filing of the application for permit, the applicant 32 may deem the permit issued. Any applicant for a permit may 33 waive the 90 day limitation by filing a written statement 34 with the Agency. -14- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 The Agency shall issue permits for such facilities upon 2 receipt of an application that includes a legal description 3 of the site, a topographic map of the site drawn to the scale 4 of 200 feet to the inch or larger, a description of the 5 operation, including the area served, an estimate of the 6 volume of materials to be processed, and documentation that: 7 (1) the facility includes a setback of at least 200 8 feet from the nearest potable water supply well; 9 (2) the facility is located outside the boundary of 10 the 10-year floodplain or the site will be floodproofed; 11 (3) the facility is located so as to minimize 12 incompatibility with the character of the surrounding 13 area, including at least a 200 foot setback from any 14 residence, and in the case of a facility that is 15 developed or the permitted composting area of which is 16 expanded after November 17, 1991, the composting area is 17 located at least 1/8 mile from the nearest residence 18 (other than a residence located on the same property as 19 the facility); 20 (4) the design of the facility will prevent any 21 compost material from being placed within 5 feet of the 22 water table, will adequately control runoff from the 23 site, and will collect and manage any leachate that is 24 generated on the site; 25 (5) the operation of the facility will include 26 appropriate dust and odor control measures, limitations 27 on operating hours, appropriate noise control measures 28 for shredding, chipping and similar equipment, management 29 procedures for composting, containment and disposal of 30 non-compostable wastes, procedures to be used for 31 terminating operations at the site, and recordkeeping 32 sufficient to document the amount of materials received, 33 composted and otherwise disposed of; and 34 (6) the operation will be conducted in accordance -15- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 with any applicable rules adopted by the Board. 2 The Agency shall issue renewable permits of not longer 3 than 10 years in duration for the composting of landscape 4 wastes, as defined in Section 3.70 of this Act, based on the 5 above requirements. 6 The operator of any facility permitted under this 7 subsection (m) must submit a written annual statement to the 8 Agency on or before April 1 of each year that includes an 9 estimate of the amount of material, in tons, received for 10 composting. 11 (n) The Agency shall issue permits jointly with the 12 Department of Transportation for the dredging or deposit of 13 material in Lake Michigan in accordance with Section 18 of 14 the Rivers, Lakes, and Streams Act. 15 (o) From September 4, 1990 until December 31, 1993, no 16 permit shall be issued by the Agency for the development or 17 construction of any new facility intended to be used for the 18 incineration of any hazardous waste. This subsection shall 19 not apply to facilities intended for use for combustion of 20 potentially infectious medical waste, for use as part of a 21 State or federally designated clean-up action, or for use 22 solely for the conduct of research and the development and 23 demonstration of technologies for the incineration of 24 hazardous waste. 25 (p) (1) Any person submitting an application for a 26 permit for a new MSWLF unit or for a lateral expansion under 27 subsection (t) of Section 21 of this Act for an existing 28 MSWLF unit that has not received and is not subject to local 29 siting approval under Section 39.2 of this Act shall publish 30 notice of the application in a newspaper of general 31 circulation in the county in which the MSWLF unit is or is 32 proposed to be located. The notice must be published at 33 least 15 days before submission of the permit application to 34 the Agency. The notice shall state the name and address of -16- LRB9207746ACsbam 1 the applicant, the location of the MSWLF unit or proposed 2 MSWLF unit, the nature and size of the MSWLF unit or proposed 3 MSWLF unit, the nature of the activity proposed, the probable 4 life of the proposed activity, the date the permit 5 application will be submitted, and a statement that persons 6 may file written comments with the Agency concerning the 7 permit application within 30 days after the filing of the 8 permit application unless the time period to submit comments 9 is extended by the Agency. 10 When a permit applicant submits information to the Agency 11 to supplement a permit application being reviewed by the 12 Agency, the applicant shall not be required to reissue the 13 notice under this subsection. 14 (2) The Agency shall accept written comments concerning 15 the permit application that are postmarked no later than 30 16 days after the filing of the permit application, unless the 17 time period to accept comments is extended by the Agency. 18 (3) Each applicant for a permit described in part (1) of 19 this subsection shall file a copy of the permit application 20 with the county board or governing body of the municipality 21 in which the MSWLF unit is or is proposed to be located at 22 the same time the application is submitted to the Agency. 23 The permit application filed with the county board or 24 governing body of the municipality shall include all 25 documents submitted to or to be submitted to the Agency, 26 except trade secrets as determined under Section 7.1 of this 27 Act.
