12    Sec. 9.4. Municipal waste incineration emission standards.
13    (a) The General Assembly finds:
14        (1) That air pollution from municipal waste
15    incineration may constitute a threat to public health,
16    welfare and the environment. The amounts and kinds of
17    pollutants depend on the nature of the waste stream,
18    operating conditions of the incinerator, and the
19    effectiveness of emission controls. Under normal operating
20    conditions, municipal waste incinerators produce
21    pollutants such as organic compounds, metallic compounds
22    and acid gases which may be a threat to public health,
23    welfare and the environment.
24        (2) That a combustion and flue-gas control system,
25    which is properly designed, operated and maintained, can

 

 

10000HB5198ham001- 17 -LRB100 19878 MJP 36950 a

1    substantially reduce the emissions of organic materials,
2    metallic compounds and acid gases from municipal waste
3    incineration.
4    (b) It is the purpose of this Section to insure that
5emissions from new municipal waste incineration facilities
6which burn a total of 25 tons or more of municipal waste per
7day are adequately controlled.
8    Such facilities shall be subject to emissions limits and
9operating standards based upon the application of Best
10Available Control Technology, as determined by the Agency, for
11emissions of the following categories of pollutants:
12        (1) particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen
13    oxides;
14        (2) acid gases;
15        (3) heavy metals; and
16        (4) organic materials.
17    (c) The Agency shall issue permits, pursuant to Section 39,
18to new municipal waste incineration facilities only if the
19Agency finds that such facilities are designed, constructed and
20operated so as to comply with the requirements prescribed by
21this Section.
22    Prior to adoption of Board regulations under subsection (d)
23of this Section the Agency may issue permits for the
24construction of new municipal waste incineration facilities.
25The Agency determination of Best Available Control Technology
26shall be based upon consideration of the specific pollutants

 

 

10000HB5198ham001- 18 -LRB100 19878 MJP 36950 a

1named in subsection (d), and emissions of particulate matter,
2sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
3    Nothing in this Section shall limit the applicability of
4any other Sections of this Act, or of other standards or
5regulations adopted by the Board, to municipal waste
6incineration facilities. In issuing such permits, the Agency
7may prescribe those conditions necessary to assure continuing
8compliance with the emission limits and operating standards
9determined pursuant to subsection (b); such conditions may
10include the monitoring and reporting of emissions.
11    (d) Within one year after July 1, 1986, the Board shall
12adopt regulations pursuant to Title VII of this Act, which
13define the terms in items (2), (3) and (4) of subsection (b) of
14this Section which are to be used by the Agency in making its
15determination pursuant to this Section. The provisions of
16Section 27(b) of this Act shall not apply to this rulemaking.
17    Such regulations shall be written so that the categories of
18pollutants include, but need not be limited to, the following
19specific pollutants:
20        (1) hydrogen chloride in the definition of acid gases;
21        (2) arsenic, cadmium, mercury, chromium, nickel and
22    lead in the definition of heavy metals; and
23        (3) polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated
24    dibenzofurans and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in the
25    definition of organic materials.
26    (e) For the purposes of this Section, the term "Best

 

 

10000HB5198ham001- 19 -LRB100 19878 MJP 36950 a

1Available Control Technology" means an emission limitation
2(including a visible emission standard) based on the maximum
3degree of pollutant reduction which the Agency, on a
4case-by-case basis, taking into account energy, environmental
5and economic impacts, determines is achievable through the
6application of production processes or available methods,
7systems and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or
8innovative fuel combustion techniques. If the Agency
9determines that technological or economic limitations on the
10application of measurement methodology to a particular class of
11sources would make the imposition of an emission standard not
12feasible, it may instead prescribe a design, equipment, work
13practice or operational standard, or combination thereof, to
14require the application of best available control technology.
15Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the
16emission reduction achievable by implementation of such
17design, equipment, work practice or operation and shall provide
18for compliance by means which achieve equivalent results.
19    (f) "Municipal waste incineration" means the burning of
20municipal waste or fuel derived therefrom in a combustion
21apparatus designed to burn municipal waste that may produce
22electricity or steam as a by-product. A "new municipal waste
23incinerator" is an incinerator initially permitted for
24development or construction after January 1, 1986. As used in
25this Section, "municipal waste" or "municipal waste or fuel
26derived therefrom" do not include: (i) post-use polymers or

 

 

10000HB5198ham001- 20 -LRB100 19878 MJP 36950 a

1nonrecycled feedstocks that are converted into crude oil or
2refined into fuels or feedstocks using a pyrolysis or
3gasification process; and (ii) non-hazardous secondary
4material that is excluded from solid waste when used
5legitimately as a fuel or ingredient in a combustion unit in
6accordance with the standards and criteria set forth in 40 CFR
7241.
8    (g) The provisions of this Section shall not apply to
9industrial incineration facilities that burn waste generated
10at the same site.

12    (415 ILCS 5/22.16b)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1022.16b)
13    Sec. 22.16b. (a) Beginning January 1, 1991, the Agency
14shall assess and collect a fee from the owner or operator of
15each new municipal waste incinerator. The fee shall be
16calculated by applying the rates established from time to time
17for the disposal of solid waste at sanitary landfills under
18subdivision (b)(1) of Section 22.15 to the total amount of
19municipal waste accepted for incineration at the new municipal
20waste incinerator. The exemptions provided by this Act to the
21fees imposed under subsection (b) of Section 22.15 shall not
22apply to the fee imposed by this Section.
23    The owner or operator of any new municipal waste
24incinerator permitted after January 1, 1990, but before July 1,
251990 by the Agency for the development or operation of a new

 

 

10000HB5198ham001- 21 -LRB100 19878 MJP 36950 a

1municipal waste incinerator shall be exempt from this fee, but
2shall include the following conditions:
3        (1) The owner or operator shall provide information
4    programs to those communities serviced by the owner or
5    operator concerning recycling and separation of waste not
6    suitable for incineration.
7        (2) The owner or operator shall provide information
8    programs to those communities serviced by the owner or
9    operator concerning the Agency's household hazardous waste
10    collection program and participation in that program.
11    For the purposes of this Section, "new municipal waste
12incinerator" means a municipal waste incinerator initially
13permitted for development or construction on or after January
141, 1990. As used in this Section, a "municipal waste
15incinerator" means a municipal waste incineration facility
16under Section 9.4.
17    Amounts collected under this subsection shall be deposited
18into the Municipal Waste Incinerator Tax Fund, which is hereby
19established as an interest-bearing special fund in the State
20Treasury. Monies in the Fund may be used, subject to
21appropriation:
22        (1) by the Department of Commerce and Economic
23    Opportunity to fund its public information programs on
24    recycling in those communities served by new municipal
25    waste incinerators; and
26        (2) by the Agency to fund its household hazardous waste

 

 

10000HB5198ham001- 22 -LRB100 19878 MJP 36950 a

1    collection activities in those communities served by new
2    municipal waste incinerators.
3    (b) Any permit issued by the Agency for the development or
4operation of a new municipal waste incinerator shall include
5the following conditions:
6        (1) The incinerator must be designed to provide
7    continuous monitoring while in operation, with direct
8    transmission of the resultant data to the Agency, until the
9    Agency determines the best available control technology
10    for monitoring the data. The Agency shall establish the
11    test methods, procedures and averaging periods, as
12    certified by the USEPA for solid waste incinerator units,
13    and the form and frequency of reports containing results of
14    the monitoring. Compliance and enforcement shall be based
15    on such reports. Copies of the results of such monitoring
16    shall be maintained on file at the facility concerned for
17    one year, and copies shall be made available for inspection
18    and copying by interested members of the public during
19    business hours.
20        (2) The facility shall comply with the emission limits
21    adopted by the Agency under subsection (c).
22        (3) The operator of the facility shall take reasonable
23    measures to ensure that waste accepted for incineration
24    complies with all legal requirements for incineration. The
25    incinerator operator shall establish contractual
26    requirements or other notification and inspection

 

 

10000HB5198ham001- 23 -LRB100 19878 MJP 36950 a

1    procedures sufficient to assure compliance with this
2    subsection (b)(3) which may include, but not be limited to,
3    routine inspections of waste, lists of acceptable and
4    unacceptable waste provided to haulers and notification to
5    the Agency when the facility operator rejects and sends
6    loads away. The notification shall contain at least the
7    name of the hauler and the site from where the load was
8    hauled.
9        (4) The operator may not accept for incineration any
10    waste generated or collected in a municipality that has not
11    implemented a recycling plan or is party to an implemented
12    county plan, consistent with State goals and objectives.
13    Such plans shall include provisions for collecting,
14    recycling or diverting from landfills and municipal
15    incinerators landscape waste, household hazardous waste
16    and batteries. Such provisions may be performed at the site
17    of the new municipal incinerator.
18    The Agency, after careful scrutiny of a permit application
19for the construction, development or operation of a new
20municipal waste incinerator, shall deny the permit if (i) the
21Agency finds in the permit application noncompliance with the
22laws and rules of the State or (ii) the application indicates
23that the mandated air emissions standards will not be reached
24within six months of the proposed municipal waste incinerator
25beginning operation.
26    (c) The Agency shall adopt specific limitations on the

 

 

10000HB5198ham001- 24 -LRB100 19878 MJP 36950 a

1emission of mercury, chromium, cadmium and lead, and good
2combustion practices, including temperature controls from
3municipal waste incinerators pursuant to Section 9.4 of the
4Act.
5    (d) The Agency shall establish household hazardous waste
6collection centers in appropriate places in this State. The
7Agency may operate and maintain the centers itself or may
8contract with other parties for that purpose. The Agency shall
9ensure that the wastes collected are properly disposed of. The
10collection centers may charge fees for their services, not to
11exceed the costs incurred. Such collection centers shall not
12(i) be regulated as hazardous waste facilities under RCRA nor
13(ii) be subject to local siting approval under Section 39.2 if
14the local governing authority agrees to waive local siting
15approval procedures.
