6    (225 ILCS 320/35.5)
7    Sec. 35.5. Lead in drinking water prevention.
8    (a) The General Assembly finds that lead has been detected
9in the drinking water of schools in this State. The General
10Assembly also finds that infants and young children may suffer
11adverse health effects and developmental delays as a result of
12exposure to even low levels of lead. The General Assembly
13further finds that it is in the best interests of the people of
14the State to require school districts or chief school
15administrators, or the designee of the school district or chief
16school administrator, to test for lead in drinking water in
17school buildings and provide written notification of the test
18results.
19    The purpose of this Section is to require (i) school
20districts or chief school administrators, or the designees of
21the school districts or chief school administrators, to test
22for lead with the goal of providing school building occupants
23with an adequate supply of safe, potable water; and (ii) school

13educational institution.
14    "Source of potable water" means the point at which
15non-bottled water that may be ingested by children or used for
16food preparation exits any tap, faucet, drinking fountain, wash
17basin in a classroom occupied by children or students under
18grade 1, or similar point of use; provided, however, that all
19(a) bathroom sinks and (b) wash basins used by janitorial staff
20are excluded from this definition.

14            authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the
15            Clean Air Act; or
16                (C) action by the President of the United
17            States or the President's authorized agent,
18            including the Administrator of the USEPA, to
19            repeal or withdraw the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring
20            Rule (75 Fed. Reg. 31514, June 3, 2010).
21            If any event listed in this subparagraph (vi)
22        occurs, CAAPP permits issued after such event shall not
23        impose permit terms or conditions addressing
24        greenhouse gases during the effectiveness of any event
25        listed in subparagraph (vi). If any event listed in
26        this subparagraph (vi) occurs, any owner or operator

1        with a CAAPP permit that includes terms or conditions
2        addressing greenhouse gases may elect to submit an
3        application to the Agency to address a revision or
4        repeal of such terms or conditions. If any owner or
5        operator submits such an application, the Agency shall
6        expeditiously process the permit application in
7        accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
8        Nothing in this subparagraph (vi) shall relieve an
9        owner or operator of a source from the requirement to
10        obtain a CAAPP permit for its emissions of regulated
11        air pollutants other than greenhouse gases, as
12        required by this Section.
13        c. For purposes of this Section the term "major source"
14    means any source that is:
15            i. A major source under Section 112 of the Clean
16        Air Act, which is defined as:
17                A. For pollutants other than radionuclides,
18            any stationary source or group of stationary
19            sources located within a contiguous area and under
20            common control that emits or has the potential to
21            emit, in the aggregate, 10 tons per year (tpy) or
22            more of any hazardous air pollutant which has been
23            listed pursuant to Section 112(b) of the Clean Air
24            Act, 25 tpy or more of any combination of such
25            hazardous air pollutants, or such lesser quantity
26            as USEPA may establish by rule. Notwithstanding

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 55 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            the preceding sentence, emissions from any oil or
2            gas exploration or production well (with its
3            associated equipment) and emissions from any
4            pipeline compressor or pump station shall not be
5            aggregated with emissions from other similar
6            units, whether or not such units are in a
7            contiguous area or under common control, to
8            determine whether such stations are major sources.
9                B. For radionuclides, "major source" shall
10            have the meaning specified by the USEPA by rule.
11            ii. A major stationary source of air pollutants, as

13        directly emits or has the potential to emit, 100 tpy or
14        more of any air pollutant subject to regulation
15        (including any major source of fugitive emissions of
16        any such pollutant, as determined by rule by USEPA).
17        For purposes of this subsection, "fugitive emissions"
18        means those emissions which could not reasonably pass
19        through a stack, chimney, vent, or other
20        functionally-equivalent opening. The fugitive
21        emissions of a stationary source shall not be
22        considered in determining whether it is a major
23        stationary source for the purposes of Section 302(j) of
24        the Clean Air Act, unless the source belongs to one of
25        the following categories of stationary source:

SB1943 Enrolled- 60 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    4. Transition.
2        a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not be
3    required to renew an existing State operating permit for
4    any emission unit at such CAAPP source once a CAAPP
5    application timely submitted prior to expiration of the
6    State operating permit has been deemed complete. For
7    purposes other than permit renewal, the obligation upon the
8    owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State
9    operating permit is not removed upon submittal of the
10    complete CAAPP permit application. An owner or operator of
11    a CAAPP source seeking to make a modification to a source
12    prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be required
13    to obtain a construction permit, operating permit, or both
14    as required for such modification in accordance with the
15    State permit program under subsection (a) of Section 39 of
16    this Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated
17    thereunder. The application for such construction permit,
18    operating permit, or both shall be considered an amendment
19    to the CAAPP application submitted for such source.
20        b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
21    continue to operate in accordance with the terms and
22    conditions of its applicable State operating permit
23    notwithstanding the expiration of the State operating
24    permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued.
25        c. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit
26    its initial CAAPP application to the Agency no later than

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 61 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    12 months after the effective date of the CAAPP. The Agency
2    may request submittal of initial CAAPP applications during
3    this 12-month period according to a schedule set forth
4    within Agency procedures, however, in no event shall the
5    Agency require such submittal earlier than 3 months after
6    such effective date of the CAAPP. An owner or operator may
7    voluntarily submit its initial CAAPP application prior to
8    the date required within this paragraph or applicable
9    procedures, if any, subsequent to the date the Agency
10    submits the CAAPP to USEPA for approval.
11        d. The Agency shall act on initial CAAPP applications
12    in accordance with paragraph (j) of subsection 5 of this
13    Section.
14        e. For purposes of this Section, the term "initial
15    CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application
16    submitted for a source existing as of the effective date of
17    the CAAPP.
18        f. The Agency shall provide owners or operators of
19    CAAPP sources with at least 3 months advance notice of the
20    date on which their applications are required to be
21    submitted. In determining which sources shall be subject to
22    early submittal, the Agency shall include among its
23    considerations the complexity of the permit application,
24    and the burden that such early submittal will have on the
25    source.
26        g. The CAAPP permit shall upon becoming effective

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 62 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    supersede the State operating permit.
2        h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
3    procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
4    Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
5    necessary, to implement this subsection.
 
6    5. Applications and Completeness.
7        a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit
8    its complete CAAPP application consistent with the Act and
9    applicable regulations.
10        b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit
11    a single complete CAAPP application covering all emission
12    units at that source.
13        c. To be deemed complete, a CAAPP application must
14    provide all information, as requested in Agency
15    application forms, sufficient to evaluate the subject
16    source and its application and to determine all applicable
17    requirements, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, and
18    regulations thereunder, this Act and regulations
19    thereunder. Such Agency application forms shall be
20    finalized and made available prior to the date on which any
21    CAAPP application is required.
22        d. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit,
23    as part of its complete CAAPP application, a compliance
24    plan, including a schedule of compliance, describing how
25    each emission unit will comply with all applicable

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 63 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    requirements. Any such schedule of compliance shall be
2    supplemental to, and shall not sanction noncompliance
3    with, the applicable requirements on which it is based.
4        e. Each submitted CAAPP application shall be certified
5    for truth, accuracy, and completeness by a responsible
6    official in accordance with applicable regulations.
7        f. The Agency shall provide notice to a CAAPP applicant
8    as to whether a submitted CAAPP application is complete.
9    Unless the Agency notifies the applicant of
10    incompleteness, within 60 days after receipt of the CAAPP
11    application, the application shall be deemed complete. The
12    Agency may request additional information as needed to make
13    the completeness determination. The Agency may to the
14    extent practicable provide the applicant with a reasonable
15    opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a final
16    determination of completeness.
17        g. If after the determination of completeness the
18    Agency finds that additional information is necessary to
19    evaluate or take final action on the CAAPP application, the
20    Agency may request in writing such information from the
21    source with a reasonable deadline for response.
22        h. If the owner or operator of a CAAPP source submits a
23    timely and complete CAAPP application, the source's
24    failure to have a CAAPP permit shall not be a violation of
25    this Section until the Agency takes final action on the
26    submitted CAAPP application, provided, however, where the

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 64 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    applicant fails to submit the requested information under
2    paragraph (g) of this subsection 5 within the time frame
3    specified by the Agency, this protection shall cease to
4    apply.
5        i. Any applicant who fails to submit any relevant facts
6    necessary to evaluate the subject source and its CAAPP
7    application or who has submitted incorrect information in a
8    CAAPP application shall, upon becoming aware of such
9    failure or incorrect submittal, submit supplementary facts
10    or correct information to the Agency. In addition, an
11    applicant shall provide to the Agency additional
12    information as necessary to address any requirements which
13    become applicable to the source subsequent to the date the
14    applicant submitted its complete CAAPP application but
15    prior to release of the draft CAAPP permit.
16        j. The Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP permit
17    within 18 months after the date of receipt of the complete
18    CAAPP application, with the following exceptions: (i)
19    permits for affected sources for acid deposition shall be
20    issued or denied within 6 months after receipt of a
21    complete application in accordance with subsection 17 of
22    this Section; (ii) the Agency shall act on initial CAAPP
23    applications within 24 months after the date of receipt of
24    the complete CAAPP application; (iii) the Agency shall act
25    on complete applications containing early reduction
26    demonstrations under Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 65 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    within 9 months of receipt of the complete CAAPP
2    application.
3        Where the Agency does not take final action on the
4    permit within the required time period, the permit shall
5    not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be
6    treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial
7    review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act.
8        k. The submittal of a complete CAAPP application shall
9    not affect the requirement that any source have a
10    preconstruction permit under Title I of the Clean Air Act.
11        l. Unless a timely and complete renewal application has
12    been submitted consistent with this subsection, a CAAPP
13    source operating upon the expiration of its CAAPP permit
14    shall be deemed to be operating without a CAAPP permit.
15    Such operation is prohibited under this Act.
16        m. Permits being renewed shall be subject to the same
17    procedural requirements, including those for public
18    participation and federal review and objection, that apply
19    to original permit issuance.
20        n. For purposes of permit renewal, a timely application
21    is one that is submitted no less than 9 months prior to the
22    date of permit expiration.
23        o. The terms and conditions of a CAAPP permit shall
24    remain in effect until the issuance of a CAAPP renewal
25    permit provided a timely and complete CAAPP application has
26    been submitted.

11        all calibration and maintenance records, original
12        strip-chart recordings for continuous monitoring
13        instrumentation, and copies of all reports required by
14        the permit.
15        f. To meet the requirements of this subsection with
16    respect to reporting, the permit shall incorporate and
17    identify all applicable reporting requirements and require
18    the following:
19            i. Submittal of reports of any required monitoring
20        every 6 months. More frequent submittals may be

16    promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act, both
17    provisions shall be incorporated into the permit and shall
18    be State and federally enforceable.
19        i. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
20    Section shall include a severability clause to ensure the
21    continued validity of the various permit requirements in

SB1943 Enrolled- 74 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        subsection 5 of this Section, a provision stating that
2        compliance with the conditions of the permit shall be
3        deemed compliance with applicable requirements which
4        are applicable as of the date of release of the
5        proposed permit, provided that:
6                A. The applicable requirement is specifically
7            identified within the permit; or
8                B. The Agency in acting on the CAAPP
9            application or revision determines in writing that
10            other requirements specifically identified are not
11            applicable to the source, and the permit includes
12            that determination or a concise summary thereof.
13            ii. The permit shall identify the requirements for
14        which the source is shielded. The shield shall not
15        extend to applicable requirements which are
16        promulgated after the date of release of the proposed
17        permit unless the permit has been modified to reflect
18        such new requirements.
19            iii. A CAAPP permit which does not expressly
20        indicate the existence of a permit shield shall not
21        provide such a shield.
22            iv. Nothing in this paragraph or in a CAAPP permit
23        shall alter or affect the following:
24                A. The provisions of Section 303 (emergency
25            powers) of the Clean Air Act, including USEPA's
26            authority under that section.

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 75 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1                B. The liability of an owner or operator of a
2            source for any violation of applicable
3            requirements prior to or at the time of permit
4            issuance.
5                C. The applicable requirements of the acid
6            rain program consistent with Section 408(a) of the
7            Clean Air Act.
8                D. The ability of USEPA to obtain information
9            from a source pursuant to Section 114
10            (inspections, monitoring, and entry) of the Clean
11            Air Act.
12        k. Each CAAPP permit shall include an emergency
13    provision providing an affirmative defense of emergency to
14    an action brought for noncompliance with technology-based
15    emission limitations under a CAAPP permit if the following
16    conditions are met through properly signed,
17    contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant
18    evidence:
19            i. An emergency occurred and the permittee can
20        identify the cause(s) of the emergency.
21            ii. The permitted facility was at the time being
22        properly operated.
23            iii. The permittee submitted notice of the
24        emergency to the Agency within 2 working days after the
25        time when emission limitations were exceeded due to the
26        emergency. This notice must contain a detailed

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 76 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        description of the emergency, any steps taken to
2        mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
3            iv. During the period of the emergency the
4        permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels
5        of emissions that exceeded the emission limitations,
6        standards, or requirements in the permit.
7        For purposes of this subsection, "emergency" means any
8    situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable
9    events beyond the control of the source, such as an act of
10    God, that requires immediate corrective action to restore
11    normal operation, and that causes the source to exceed a
12    technology-based emission limitation under the permit, due
13    to unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the
14    emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to
15    the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack of
16    preventative maintenance, careless or improper operation,
17    or operation error.
18        In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking
19    to establish the occurrence of an emergency has the burden
20    of proof. This provision is in addition to any emergency or
21    upset provision contained in any applicable requirement.
22    This provision does not relieve a permittee of any
23    reporting obligations under existing federal or state laws
24    or regulations.
25        l. The Agency shall include in each permit issued under
26    subsection 10 of this Section:

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 77 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            i. Terms and conditions for reasonably anticipated
2        operating scenarios identified by the source in its
3        application. The permit terms and conditions for each
4        such operating scenario shall meet all applicable
5        requirements and the requirements of this Section.
6                A. Under this subparagraph, the source must
7            record in a log at the permitted facility a record
8            of the scenario under which it is operating
9            contemporaneously with making a change from one
10            operating scenario to another.
11                B. The permit shield described in paragraph
12            (j) of subsection 7 of this Section shall extend to
13            all terms and conditions under each such operating
14            scenario.
15            ii. Where requested by an applicant, all terms and
16        conditions allowing for trading of emissions increases
17        and decreases between different emission units at the
18        CAAPP source, to the extent that the applicable
19        requirements provide for trading of such emissions
20        increases and decreases without a case-by-case
21        approval of each emissions trade. Such terms and
22        conditions:
23                A. Shall include all terms required under this
24            subsection to determine compliance;
25                B. Must meet all applicable requirements;
26                C. Shall extend the permit shield described in

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 78 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            paragraph (j) of subsection 7 of this Section to
2            all terms and conditions that allow such increases
3            and decreases in emissions.
4        m. The Agency shall specifically designate as not being
5    federally enforceable under the Clean Air Act any terms and
6    conditions included in the permit that are not specifically
7    required under the Clean Air Act or federal regulations
8    promulgated thereunder. Terms or conditions so designated
9    shall be subject to all applicable state requirements,
10    except the requirements of subsection 7 (other than this
11    paragraph, paragraph q of subsection 7, subsections 8
12    through 11, and subsections 13 through 16 of this Section.
13    The Agency shall, however, include such terms and
14    conditions in the CAAPP permit issued to the source.
15        n. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
16    Section shall specify and reference the origin of and
17    authority for each term or condition, and identify any
18    difference in form as compared to the applicable
19    requirement upon which the term or condition is based.
20        o. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
21    Section shall include provisions stating the following:
22            i. Duty to comply. The permittee must comply with
23        all terms and conditions of the CAAPP permit. Any
24        permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the
25        Clean Air Act and the Act, and is grounds for any or
26        all of the following: enforcement action; permit

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 79 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        termination, revocation and reissuance, or
2        modification; or denial of a permit renewal
3        application.
4            ii. Need to halt or reduce activity not a defense.
5        It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an
6        enforcement action that it would have been necessary to
7        halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to
8        maintain compliance with the conditions of this
9        permit.
10            iii. Permit actions. The permit may be modified,
11        revoked, reopened, and reissued, or terminated for
12        cause in accordance with the applicable subsections of
13        Section 39.5 of this Act. The filing of a request by
14        the permittee for a permit modification, revocation
15        and reissuance, or termination, or of a notification of
16        planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not
17        stay any permit condition.
18            iv. Property rights. The permit does not convey any
19        property rights of any sort, or any exclusive
20        privilege.
21            v. Duty to provide information. The permittee
22        shall furnish to the Agency within a reasonable time
23        specified by the Agency any information that the Agency
24        may request in writing to determine whether cause
25        exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or
26        terminating the permit or to determine compliance with

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 80 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        the permit. Upon request, the permittee shall also
2        furnish to the Agency copies of records required to be
3        kept by the permit or, for information claimed to be
4        confidential, the permittee may furnish such records
5        directly to USEPA along with a claim of
6        confidentiality.
7            vi. Duty to pay fees. The permittee must pay fees
8        to the Agency consistent with the fee schedule approved
9        pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section, and submit
10        any information relevant thereto.
11            vii. Emissions trading. No permit revision shall
12        be required for increases in emissions allowed under
13        any approved economic incentives, marketable permits,
14        emissions trading, and other similar programs or
15        processes for changes that are provided for in the
16        permit and that are authorized by the applicable
17        requirement.
18        p. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of this
19    Section shall contain the following elements with respect
20    to compliance:
21            i. Compliance certification, testing, monitoring,
22        reporting, and record keeping requirements sufficient
23        to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of
24        the permit. Any document (including reports) required
25        by a CAAPP permit shall contain a certification by a
26        responsible official that meets the requirements of

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 81 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        subsection 5 of this Section and applicable
2        regulations.
3            ii. Inspection and entry requirements that
4        necessitate that, upon presentation of credentials and
5        other documents as may be required by law and in
6        accordance with constitutional limitations, the
7        permittee shall allow the Agency, or an authorized
8        representative to perform the following:
9                A. Enter upon the permittee's premises where a
10            CAAPP source is located or emissions-related
11            activity is conducted, or where records must be
12            kept under the conditions of the permit.
13                B. Have access to and copy, at reasonable
14            times, any records that must be kept under the
15            conditions of the permit.
16                C. Inspect at reasonable times any facilities,
17            equipment (including monitoring and air pollution

5    shall include the alternative emission limit in the CAAPP
6    permit, which shall supersede the emission limit set forth
7    in the applicable Board regulations, and shall include
8    conditions that insure that the resulting emission limit is
9    quantifiable, accountable, enforceable, and based on
10    replicable procedures.
 
11    8. Public Notice; Affected State Review.
12        a. The Agency shall provide notice to the public,
13    including an opportunity for public comment and a hearing,

20    subsection (a) of Section 7 of this Act, the owner or
21    operator shall submit such information separately. The
22    requirements of Section 7.1 and subsection (a) of Section 7
23    of this Act shall apply to such information, which shall
24    not be included in a CAAPP permit unless required by law.
25    The contents of a CAAPP permit shall not be entitled to
26    protection under Section 7.1 and subsection (a) of Section

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 86 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    7 of this Act.
2        f. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt

SB1943 Enrolled- 87 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        b. The Agency shall not issue the proposed CAAPP permit
2    if USEPA objects in writing within 45 days after receipt of
3    the proposed CAAPP permit and all necessary supporting
4    information.
5        c. If USEPA objects in writing to the issuance of the
6    proposed CAAPP permit within the 45-day period, the Agency
7    shall respond in writing and may revise and resubmit the
8    proposed CAAPP permit in response to the stated objection,
9    to the extent supported by the record, within 90 days after
10    the date of the objection. Prior to submitting a revised
11    permit to USEPA, the Agency shall provide the applicant and
12    any person who participated in the public comment process,
13    pursuant to subsection 8 of this Section, with a 10-day
14    period to comment on any revision which the Agency is
15    proposing to make to the permit in response to USEPA's
16    objection in accordance with Agency procedures.
17        d. Any USEPA objection under this subsection,
18    according to the Clean Air Act, will include a statement of
19    reasons for the objection and a description of the terms
20    and conditions that must be in the permit, in order to
21    adequately respond to the objections. Grounds for a USEPA
22    objection include the failure of the Agency to: (1) submit
23    the items and notices required under this subsection; (2)
24    submit any other information necessary to adequately
25    review the proposed CAAPP permit; or (3) process the permit
26    under subsection 8 of this Section except for minor permit

1    modifications.
2        e. If USEPA does not object in writing to issuance of a
3    permit under this subsection, any person may petition USEPA
4    within 60 days after expiration of the 45-day review period
5    to make such objection.
6        f. If the permit has not yet been issued and USEPA
7    objects to the permit as a result of a petition, the Agency
8    shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection has been
9    resolved. The Agency shall provide a 10-day comment period
10    in accordance with paragraph c of this subsection. A
11    petition does not, however, stay the effectiveness of a
12    permit or its requirements if the permit was issued after
13    expiration of the 45-day review period and prior to a USEPA
14    objection.
15        g. If the Agency has issued a permit after expiration
16    of the 45-day review period and prior to receipt of a USEPA
17    objection under this subsection in response to a petition
18    submitted pursuant to paragraph e of this subsection, the
19    Agency may, upon receipt of an objection from USEPA, revise
20    and resubmit the permit to USEPA pursuant to this
21    subsection after providing a 10-day comment period in
22    accordance with paragraph c of this subsection. If the
23    Agency fails to submit a revised permit in response to the
24    objection, USEPA shall modify, terminate or revoke the
25    permit. In any case, the source will not be in violation of
26    the requirement to have submitted a timely and complete

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 89 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    application.
2        h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt

17    subsection or if USEPA objects to its issuance.
18        c. i. Prior to denial of a CAAPP permit, permit
19        modification, or permit renewal under this Section,
20        the Agency shall notify the applicant of the possible
21        denial and the reasons for the denial.
22            ii. Within such notice, the Agency shall specify an
23        appropriate date by which the applicant shall

1    permit revision, consistent with subparagraphs (i) through
2    (iii) of paragraph (a) of this subsection, so long as the
3    changes are not modifications under any provision of Title
4    I of the Clean Air Act and they do not exceed the emissions
5    allowable under the permit (whether expressed therein as a
6    rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions), provided
7    that the owner or operator of the CAAPP source provides
8    USEPA and the Agency with written notification as required
9    below in advance of the proposed changes, which shall be a
10    minimum of 7 days, unless otherwise provided by the Agency
11    in applicable regulations regarding emergencies. The owner
12    or operator of a CAAPP source and the Agency shall each
13    attach such notice to their copy of the relevant permit.
14            i. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
15        Section 502 (b) (10) changes without a permit revision,
16        if the changes are not modifications under any
17        provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act and the
18        changes do not exceed the emissions allowable under the
19        permit (whether expressed therein as a rate of
20        emissions or in terms of total emissions).
21                A. For each such change, the written
22            notification required above shall include a brief
23            description of the change within the source, the
24            date on which the change will occur, any change in
25            emissions, and any permit term or condition that is

SB1943 Enrolled- 94 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1                B. The permit shield described in paragraph
2            (j) of subsection 7 of this Section shall not apply
3            to any change made pursuant to this subparagraph.
4            ii. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may
5        trade increases and decreases in emissions in the CAAPP
6        source, where the applicable implementation plan
7        provides for such emission trades without requiring a
8        permit revision. This provision is available in those
9        cases where the permit does not already provide for
10        such emissions trading.
11                A. Under this subparagraph (ii) of paragraph
12            (a) of this subsection, the written notification
13            required above shall include such information as
14            may be required by the provision in the applicable
15            implementation plan authorizing the emissions
16            trade, including at a minimum, when the proposed
17            changes will occur, a description of each such
18            change, any change in emissions, the permit
19            requirements with which the source will comply
20            using the emissions trading provisions of the

6            using the emissions trade shall be determined
7            according to the requirements of the applicable
8            implementation plan authorizing the emissions
9            trade.
10            iii. If requested within a CAAPP application, the
11        Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains terms
12        and conditions, including all terms required under
13        subsection 7 of this Section to determine compliance,
14        allowing for the trading of emissions increases and
15        decreases at the CAAPP source solely for the purpose of
16        complying with a federally-enforceable emissions cap
17        that is established in the permit independent of
18        otherwise applicable requirements. The owner or
19        operator of a CAAPP source shall include in its CAAPP
20        application proposed replicable procedures and permit
21        terms that ensure the emissions trades are
22        quantifiable and enforceable. The permit shall also
23        require compliance with all applicable requirements.
24                A. Under this subparagraph (iii) of paragraph
25            (a), the written notification required above shall
26            state when the change will occur and shall describe

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 96 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            the changes in emissions that will result and how
2            these increases and decreases in emissions will
3            comply with the terms and conditions of the permit.
4                B. The permit shield described in paragraph
5            (j) of subsection 7 of this Section shall extend to
6            terms and conditions that allow such increases and
7            decreases in emissions.
8        b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
9    changes that are not addressed or prohibited by the permit,
10    other than those which are subject to any requirements
11    under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or are modifications
12    under any provisions of Title I of the Clean Air Act,
13    without a permit revision, in accordance with the following
14    requirements:
15            (i) Each such change shall meet all applicable
16        requirements and shall not violate any existing permit
17        term or condition;
18            (ii) Sources must provide contemporaneous written
19        notice to the Agency and USEPA of each such change,
20        except for changes that qualify as insignificant under
21        provisions adopted by the Agency or the Board. Such
22        written notice shall describe each such change,
23        including the date, any change in emissions,
24        pollutants emitted, and any applicable requirement
25        that would apply as a result of the change;
26            (iii) The change shall not qualify for the shield

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 97 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        described in paragraph (j) of subsection 7 of this
2        Section; and
3            (iv) The permittee shall keep a record describing
4        changes made at the source that result in emissions of
5        a regulated air pollutant subject to an applicable
6        Clean Air Act requirement, but not otherwise regulated
7        under the permit, and the emissions resulting from
8        those changes.
9        c. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
10    procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
11    Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
12    necessary to implement this subsection.
 
13    13. Administrative Permit Amendments.
14        a. The Agency shall take final action on a request for
15    an administrative permit amendment within 60 days after
16    receipt of the request. Neither notice nor an opportunity
17    for public and affected State comment shall be required for
18    the Agency to incorporate such revisions, provided it
19    designates the permit revisions as having been made
20    pursuant to this subsection.
21        b. The Agency shall submit a copy of the revised permit
22    to USEPA.
23        c. For purposes of this Section the term
24    "administrative permit amendment" shall be defined as a
25    permit revision that can accomplish one or more of the

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 98 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    changes described below:
2            i. Corrects typographical errors;
3            ii. Identifies a change in the name, address, or
4        phone number of any person identified in the permit, or
5        provides a similar minor administrative change at the
6        source;
7            iii. Requires more frequent monitoring or
8        reporting by the permittee;
9            iv. Allows for a change in ownership or operational
10        control of a source where the Agency determines that no
11        other change in the permit is necessary, provided that
12        a written agreement containing a specific date for
13        transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and
14        liability between the current and new permittees has
15        been submitted to the Agency;
16            v. Incorporates into the CAAPP permit the
17        requirements from preconstruction review permits
18        authorized under a USEPA-approved program, provided
19        the program meets procedural and compliance
20        requirements substantially equivalent to those
21        contained in this Section;
22            vi. (Blank); or
23            vii. Any other type of change which USEPA has
24        determined as part of the approved CAAPP permit program
25        to be similar to those included in this subsection.
26        d. The Agency shall, upon taking final action granting

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 99 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    a request for an administrative permit amendment, allow
2    coverage by the permit shield in paragraph (j) of
3    subsection 7 of this Section for administrative permit
4    amendments made pursuant to subparagraph (v) of paragraph
5    (c) of this subsection which meet the relevant requirements
6    for significant permit modifications.
7        e. Permit revisions and modifications, including
8    administrative amendments and automatic amendments
9    (pursuant to Sections 408(b) and 403(d) of the Clean Air
10    Act or regulations promulgated thereunder), for purposes
11    of the acid rain portion of the permit shall be governed by
12    the regulations promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air
13    Act. Owners or operators of affected sources for acid
14    deposition shall have the flexibility to amend their
15    compliance plans as provided in the regulations
16    promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
17        f. The CAAPP source may implement the changes addressed
18    in the request for an administrative permit amendment
19    immediately upon submittal of the request.

SB1943 Enrolled- 100 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            i. The Agency shall review a permit modification
2        using the "minor permit" modification procedures only
3        for those permit modifications that:
4                A. Do not violate any applicable requirement;
5                B. Do not involve significant changes to
6            existing monitoring, reporting, or recordkeeping
7            requirements in the permit;
8                C. Do not require a case-by-case determination
9            of an emission limitation or other standard, or a
10            source-specific determination of ambient impacts,
11            or a visibility or increment analysis;
12                D. Do not seek to establish or change a permit
13            term or condition for which there is no
14            corresponding underlying requirement and which
15            avoids an applicable requirement to which the
16            source would otherwise be subject. Such terms and
17            conditions include:
18                    1. A federally enforceable emissions cap
19                assumed to avoid classification as a
20                modification under any provision of Title I of
21                the Clean Air Act; and
22                    2. An alternative emissions limit approved
23                pursuant to regulations promulgated under
24                Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act;
25                E. Are not modifications under any provision
26            of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 101 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1                F. Are not required to be processed as a
2            significant modification.
3            ii. Notwithstanding subparagraph (i) of paragraph
4        (a) and subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this
5        subsection, minor permit modification procedures may
6        be used for permit modifications involving the use of
7        economic incentives, marketable permits, emissions
8        trading, and other similar approaches, to the extent
9        that such minor permit modification procedures are
10        explicitly provided for in an applicable
11        implementation plan or in applicable requirements
12        promulgated by USEPA.
13            iii. An applicant requesting the use of minor
14        permit modification procedures shall meet the
15        requirements of subsection 5 of this Section and shall
16        include the following in its application:
17                A. A description of the change, the emissions
18            resulting from the change, and any new applicable
19            requirements that will apply if the change occurs;
20                B. The source's suggested draft permit;
21                C. Certification by a responsible official,
22            consistent with paragraph (e) of subsection 5 of
23            this Section and applicable regulations, that the
24            proposed modification meets the criteria for use
25            of minor permit modification procedures and a
26            request that such procedures be used; and

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 102 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1                D. Completed forms for the Agency to use to
2            notify USEPA and affected States as required under

4            iv. Within 5 working days after receipt of a
5        complete permit modification application, the Agency
6        shall notify USEPA and affected States of the requested
7        permit modification in accordance with subsections 8
8        and 9 of this Section. The Agency promptly shall send
9        any notice required under paragraph (d) of subsection 8
10        of this Section to USEPA.
11            v. The Agency may not issue a final permit
12        modification until after the 45-day review period for
13        USEPA or until USEPA has notified the Agency that USEPA
14        will not object to the issuance of the permit
15        modification, whichever comes first, although the
16        Agency can approve the permit modification prior to
17        that time. Within 90 days after the Agency's receipt of
18        an application under the minor permit modification
19        procedures or 15 days after the end of USEPA's 45-day
20        review period under subsection 9 of this Section,
21        whichever is later, the Agency shall:
22                A. Issue the permit modification as proposed;
23                B. Deny the permit modification application;
24                C. Determine that the requested modification
25            does not meet the minor permit modification
26            criteria and should be reviewed under the

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 103 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            significant modification procedures; or
2                D. Revise the draft permit modification and
3            transmit to USEPA the new proposed permit
4            modification as required by subsection 9 of this
5            Section.
6            vi. Any CAAPP source may make the change proposed
7        in its minor permit modification application
8        immediately after it files such application. After the
9        CAAPP source makes the change allowed by the preceding
10        sentence, and until the Agency takes any of the actions
11        specified in items (A) through (C) of subparagraph (v)
12        of paragraph (a) of this subsection, the source must
13        comply with both the applicable requirements governing
14        the change and the proposed permit terms and
15        conditions. During this time period, the source need
16        not comply with the existing permit terms and
17        conditions it seeks to modify. If the source fails to
18        comply with its proposed permit terms and conditions
19        during this time period, the existing permit terms and
20        conditions which it seeks to modify may be enforced
21        against it.
22            vii. The permit shield under paragraph (j) of
23        subsection 7 of this Section may not extend to minor
24        permit modifications.
25            viii. If a construction permit is required,
26        pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 39 of this Act

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 104 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        and regulations thereunder, for a change for which the
2        minor permit modification procedures are applicable,
3        the source may request that the processing of the
4        construction permit application be consolidated with
5        the processing of the application for the minor permit
6        modification. In such cases, the provisions of this
7        Section, including those within subsections 5, 8, and
8        9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on such
9        applications pursuant to subparagraph (v) of paragraph
10        (a) of subsection 14 of this Section. The source may
11        make the proposed change immediately after filing its
12        application for the minor permit modification. Nothing
13        in this subparagraph shall otherwise affect the
14        requirements and procedures applicable to construction
15        permits.
16        b. Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications.
17            i. Where requested by an applicant within its
18        application, the Agency shall process groups of a
19        source's applications for certain modifications
20        eligible for minor permit modification processing in
21        accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b).
22            ii. Permit modifications may be processed in
23        accordance with the procedures for group processing,
24        for those modifications:
25                A. Which meet the criteria for minor permit
26            modification procedures under subparagraph (i) of

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 105 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            paragraph (a) of subsection 14 of this Section; and
2                B. That collectively are below 10 percent of
3            the emissions allowed by the permit for the
4            emissions unit for which change is requested, 20
5            percent of the applicable definition of major
6            source set forth in subsection 2 of this Section,
7            or 5 tons per year, whichever is least.
8            iii. An applicant requesting the use of group
9        processing procedures shall meet the requirements of
10        subsection 5 of this Section and shall include the
11        following in its application:
12                A. A description of the change, the emissions
13            resulting from the change, and any new applicable
14            requirements that will apply if the change occurs.
15                B. The source's suggested draft permit.
16                C. Certification by a responsible official
17            consistent with paragraph (e) of subsection 5 of
18            this Section, that the proposed modification meets
19            the criteria for use of group processing
20            procedures and a request that such procedures be
21            used.
22                D. A list of the source's other pending
23            applications awaiting group processing, and a
24            determination of whether the requested
25            modification, aggregated with these other
26            applications, equals or exceeds the threshold set

9            notify USEPA and affected states as required under
10            subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
11            iv. On a quarterly basis or within 5 business days
12        after receipt of an application demonstrating that the
13        aggregate of a source's pending applications equals or
14        exceeds the threshold level set forth within item (B)
15        of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this
16        subsection, whichever is earlier, the Agency shall
17        promptly notify USEPA and affected States of the
18        requested permit modifications in accordance with
19        subsections 8 and 9 of this Section. The Agency shall
20        send any notice required under paragraph (d) of
21        subsection 8 of this Section to USEPA.
22            v. The provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph
23        (a) of this subsection shall apply to modifications
24        eligible for group processing, except that the Agency
25        shall take one of the actions specified in items (A)
26        through (D) of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 107 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

10        eligible for group processing.
11        c. Significant Permit Modifications.
12            i. Significant modification procedures shall be
13        used for applications requesting significant permit
14        modifications and for those applications that do not
15        qualify as either minor permit modifications or as
16        administrative permit amendments.
17            ii. Every significant change in existing
18        monitoring permit terms or conditions and every
19        relaxation of reporting or recordkeeping requirements
20        shall be considered significant. A modification shall
21        also be considered significant if in the judgment of
22        the Agency action on an application for modification
23        would require decisions to be made on technically
24        complex issues. Nothing herein shall be construed to

SB1943 Enrolled- 109 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        than 18 months after the promulgation of the applicable
2        requirement. No such revision is required if the
3        effective date of the requirement is later than the
4        date on which the permit is due to expire.
5            ii. Additional requirements (including excess
6        emissions requirements) become applicable to an
7        affected source for acid deposition under the acid rain
8        program. Excess emissions offset plans shall be deemed
9        to be incorporated into the permit upon approval by
10        USEPA.
11            iii. The Agency or USEPA determines that the permit
12        contains a material mistake or that inaccurate
13        statements were made in establishing the emissions
14        standards, limitations, or other terms or conditions
15        of the permit.
16            iv. The Agency or USEPA determines that the permit
17        must be revised or revoked to assure compliance with
18        the applicable requirements.
19        b. In the event that the Agency determines that there
20    are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause,

23    for such revocation. In any such proceeding, the Agency
24    shall have the burden of establishing that the permit
25    should be revoked under the standards set forth in this Act
26    and the Clean Air Act. Any such proceeding shall be

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 110 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    conducted pursuant to the Board's procedures for
2    adjudicatory hearings and the Board shall render its
3    decision within 120 days of the filing of the petition. The
4    Agency shall take final action to revoke and reissue a
5    CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order.
6        c. Proceedings regarding a reopened CAAPP permit shall
7    follow the same procedures as apply to initial permit
8    issuance and shall affect only those parts of the permit
9    for which cause to reopen exists.
10        d. Reopenings under paragraph (a) of this subsection
11    shall not be initiated before a notice of such intent is
12    provided to the CAAPP source by the Agency at least 30 days
13    in advance of the date that the permit is to be reopened,
14    except that the Agency may provide a shorter time period in
15    the case of an emergency.

17    procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
18    Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
19    necessary, to implement this subsection.
 
20    16. Reopenings for Cause by USEPA.
21        a. When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate,
22    modify, or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant to
23    subsection 15 of this Section, and thereafter notifies the
24    Agency and the permittee of such finding in writing, the
25    Agency shall forward to USEPA and the permittee a proposed

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 111 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    determination of termination, modification, or revocation
2    and reissuance as appropriate, in accordance with
3    paragraph (b) of this subsection. The Agency's proposed
4    determination shall be in accordance with the record, the
5    Clean Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this
6    Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such proposed
7    determination shall not affect the permit or constitute a
8    final permit action for purposes of this Act or the
9    Administrative Review Law. The Agency shall forward to
10    USEPA such proposed determination within 90 days after
11    receipt of the notification from USEPA. If additional time
12    is necessary to submit the proposed determination, the
13    Agency shall request a 90-day extension from USEPA and
14    shall submit the proposed determination within 180 days
15    after receipt of notification from USEPA.
16            b. i. Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA of a
17        proposed determination to terminate or revoke and
18        reissue the permit, the Agency shall file a petition
19        before the Board setting forth USEPA's objection, the
20        permit record, the Agency's proposed determination,
21        and the justification for its proposed determination.
22        The Board shall conduct a hearing pursuant to the rules
23        prescribed by Section 32 of this Act, and the burden of
24        proof shall be on the Agency.
25            ii. After due consideration of the written and oral
26        statements, the testimony and arguments that shall be

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 112 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue and enter
2        an interim order for the proposed determination, which
3        shall set forth all changes, if any, required in the
4        Agency's proposed determination. The interim order
5        shall comply with the requirements for final orders as
6        set forth in Section 33 of this Act. Issuance of an
7        interim order by the Board under this paragraph,
8        however, shall not affect the permit status and does
9        not constitute a final action for purposes of this Act
10        or the Administrative Review Law.
11            iii. The Board shall cause a copy of its interim
12        order to be served upon all parties to the proceeding
13        as well as upon USEPA. The Agency shall submit the
14        proposed determination to USEPA in accordance with the
15        Board's Interim Order within 180 days after receipt of
16        the notification from USEPA.
17        c. USEPA shall review the proposed determination to
18    terminate, modify, or revoke and reissue the permit within
19    90 days after receipt.
20            i. When USEPA reviews the proposed determination
21        to terminate or revoke and reissue and does not object,
22        the Board shall, within 7 days after receipt of USEPA's
23        final approval, enter the interim order as a final
24        order. The final order may be appealed as provided by
25        Title XI of this Act. The Agency shall take final
26        action in accordance with the Board's final order.

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 113 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            ii. When USEPA reviews such proposed determination
2        to terminate or revoke and reissue and objects, the
3        Agency shall submit USEPA's objection and the Agency's
4        comments and recommendation on the objection to the
5        Board and permittee. The Board shall review its interim
6        order in response to USEPA's objection and the Agency's
7        comments and recommendation and issue a final order in
8        accordance with Sections 32 and 33 of this Act. The
9        Agency shall, within 90 days after receipt of such
10        objection, respond to USEPA's objection in accordance
11        with the Board's final order.
12            iii. When USEPA reviews such proposed
13        determination to modify and objects, the Agency shall,
14        within 90 days after receipt of the objection, resolve
15        the objection and modify the permit in accordance with
16        USEPA's objection, based upon the record, the Clean Air
17        Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act, and
18        regulations promulgated thereunder.
19        d. If the Agency fails to submit the proposed
20    determination pursuant to paragraph a of this subsection or
21    fails to resolve any USEPA objection pursuant to paragraph
22    c of this subsection, USEPA will terminate, modify, or
23    revoke and reissue the permit.
24        e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
25    procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
26    Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems

1        revision under any other applicable requirement.
2            ii. No limit shall be placed on the number of
3        allowances held by the source. The source may not,

15        a. A source subject to this Section or excluded under
16    subsection 1.1 or paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this
17    Section, shall pay a fee as provided in this paragraph (a)
18    of subsection 18. However, a source that has been excluded
19    from the provisions of this Section under subsection 1.1 or
20    under paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this Section because
21    the source emits less than 25 tons per year of any
22    combination of regulated air pollutants, except greenhouse
23    gases, shall pay fees in accordance with paragraph (1) of
24    subsection (b) of Section 9.6.
25            i. The fee for a source allowed to emit less than

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 120 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        100 tons per year of any combination of regulated air
2        pollutants, except greenhouse gases, shall be $1,800
3        per year, and that fee shall increase, beginning
4        January 1, 2012, to $2,150 per year.
5            ii. The fee for a source allowed to emit 100 tons
6        or more per year of any combination of regulated air
7        pollutants, except greenhouse gases and those
8        regulated air pollutants excluded in paragraph (f) of
9        this subsection 18, shall be as follows:
10                A. The Agency shall assess a fee of $18 per
11            ton, per year for the allowable emissions of
12            regulated air pollutants subject to this
13            subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of subsection
14            18, and that fee shall increase, beginning January
15            1, 2012, to $21.50 per ton, per year. These fees
16            shall be used by the Agency and the Board to fund
17            the activities required by Title V of the Clean Air
18            Act including such activities as may be carried out
19            by other State or local agencies pursuant to
20            paragraph (d) of this subsection. The amount of
21            such fee shall be based on the information supplied
22            by the applicant in its complete CAAPP permit
23            application or in the CAAPP permit if the permit
24            has been granted and shall be determined by the
25            amount of emissions that the source is allowed to
26            emit annually, provided however, that the maximum

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 121 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            fee for a CAAPP permit under this subparagraph (ii)
2            of paragraph (a) of subsection 18 is $250,000, and
3            increases, beginning January 1, 2012, to $294,000.
4            Beginning January 1, 2012, the maximum fee under
5            this subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of
6            subsection 18 for a source that has been excluded
7            under subsection 1.1 of this Section or under
8            paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this Section is
9            $4,112. The Agency shall provide as part of the
10            permit application form required under subsection
11            5 of this Section a separate fee calculation form
12            which will allow the applicant to identify the
13            allowable emissions and calculate the fee. In no
14            event shall the Agency raise the amount of
15            allowable emissions requested by the applicant
16            unless such increases are required to demonstrate
17            compliance with terms of a CAAPP permit.
18                Notwithstanding the above, any applicant may
19            seek a change in its permit which would result in
20            increases in allowable emissions due to an
21            increase in the hours of operation or production
22            rates of an emission unit or units and such a
23            change shall be consistent with the construction
24            permit requirements of the existing State permit
25            program, under subsection (a) of Section 39 of this
26            Act and applicable provisions of this Section.

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 122 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1            Where a construction permit is required, the
2            Agency shall expeditiously grant such construction
3            permit and shall, if necessary, modify the CAAPP
4            permit based on the same application.
5                B. The applicant or permittee may pay the fee
6            annually or semiannually for those fees greater
7            than $5,000. However, any applicant paying a fee
8            equal to or greater than $100,000 shall pay the
9            full amount on July 1, for the subsequent fiscal
10            year, or pay 50% of the fee on July 1 and the
11            remaining 50% by the next January 1. The Agency may
12            change any annual billing date upon reasonable
13            notice, but shall prorate the new bill so that the
14            permittee or applicant does not pay more than its
15            required fees for the fee period for which payment
16            is made.
17        b. (Blank).
18        c. (Blank).
19        d. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a
20    special fund to be known as the Clean Air Act Permit Fund
21    (formerly known as the CAA Permit Fund). All Funds
22    collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection shall
23    be deposited into the Fund. The General Assembly shall
24    appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and to the
25    Board to carry out their obligations under this Section.
26    The General Assembly may also authorize monies to be

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 123 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State and
2    local agencies which perform duties related to the CAAPP.
3    Interest generated on the monies deposited in this Fund
4    shall be returned to the Fund.
5        e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
6    procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
7    Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
8    necessary to implement this subsection.
9        f. For purposes of this subsection, the term "regulated
10    air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to it under
11    subsection 1 of this Section but shall exclude the
12    following:
13            i. carbon monoxide;
14            ii. any Class I or II substance which is a
15        regulated air pollutant solely because it is listed
16        pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act; and
17            iii. any pollutant that is a regulated air
18        pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard or
19        regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act
20        based on the emissions allowed in the permit effective
21        in that calendar year, at the time the applicable bill
22        is generated.
 
23    19. Air Toxics Provisions.
24        a. In the event that the USEPA fails to promulgate in a
25    timely manner a standard pursuant to Section 112(d) of the

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 124 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1    Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority to issue
2    permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean Air Act
3    and regulations promulgated thereunder, which contain
4    emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission
5    limitations that would apply to a source if an emission
6    standard had been promulgated in a timely manner by USEPA
7    pursuant to Section 112(d). Provided, however, that the
8    owner or operator of a source shall have the opportunity to
9    submit to the Agency a proposed emission limitation which
10    it determines to be equivalent to the emission limitations
11    that would apply to such source if an emission standard had
12    been promulgated in a timely manner by USEPA. If the Agency
13    refuses to include the emission limitation proposed by the
14    owner or operator in a CAAPP permit, the owner or operator
15    may petition the Board to establish whether the emission
16    limitation proposal submitted by the owner or operator
17    provides for emission limitations which are equivalent to
18    the emission limitations that would apply to the source if
19    the emission standard had been promulgated by USEPA in a
20    timely manner. The Board shall determine whether the
21    emission limitation proposed by the owner or operator or an
22    alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
23    provides for the level of control required under Section
24    112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall otherwise establish an
25    appropriate emission limitation, pursuant to Section 112
26    of the Clean Air Act.

 

 

SB1943 Enrolled- 125 -LRB100 11390 MJP 21799 b

1        b. Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a) or
2    (e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to the
3    Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and the Board
4    shall render its decision within 120 days of the filing of
5    the petition. Any such decision shall be subject to review
6    pursuant to Section 41 of this Act. Where USEPA promulgates
7    an applicable emission standard prior to the issuance of
8    the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall include in the permit
9    the promulgated standard, provided that the source shall
10    have the compliance period provided under Section 112(i) of
