Section 809.916  Previously Permitted Transporters

a)         From July 1, 1998 until June 30, 1999, a transporter who previously obtained an Illinois Special Waste Transporter Permit is not required to obtain a uniform permit or uniform registration under this Subpart for the transportation of hazardous waste in Illinois until the transporter's special waste permit expires.

b)         Transporters with permits expiring July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, and whose base state is Illinois shall submit uniform registration and permit applications to the Agency and should apply 90 days in advance of the expiration date of their current permit.  If the Agency cannot timely review the uniform registration and permit applications within 90 days, the current Illinois Special Waste Transportation permit will be extended by operation of law for 30 days, or until the Agency takes final action on its applications, whichever occurs first.  However, if the transporter fails to submit its new uniform registration and uniform permit applications 90 days in advance of the expiration of the current permit, the current Illinois Special Waste Transporter permit will expire on the expiration date indicated in the permit.

c)         Beginning July 1, 1998, all Uniform Program permits issued by other states that have not expired or been revoked will be acceptable for the transportation of hazardous waste in Illinois.
