Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 9.1.

Notification of actual or potential contamination.

(a) Whenever the
Agency identifies any volatile organic compound in excess of the Board's
Groundwater Quality Standards or the Safe Drinking Water Act maximum
contaminant
level while performing its obligations under Section 7 of this Act, Section
13.1 of the Environmental Protection Act, or the federal Safe Drinking
Water Act, the Agency shall notify the Department, unless notification has
already been provided, and the unit of local government affected.

(b) Within 60 days of receipt of notice provided for in subsection (a) of
this
Section,
the Department, or the Department in coordination with the delegated county
health department, shall provide notice to the public identifying the
contaminants of concern.  The notice shall be provided by means of
electronic or
print media and must be designed to inform the owner of any private water
system,
semi-private water system, or non-community public water system within an area
potentially affected by the identified contamination of the need for the system
owner to test the system for possible contamination.  The notice shall
appear
in the media for 3 consecutive weeks.

(c) A unit of local government shall take any action that it deems
appropriate, such as informing any homeowner who potentially could be adversely
affected, within
a reasonable time after notification by the Agency under subsection (a) of this
Section.
