415 ILCS 5/ Environmental Protection Act.

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.

district in which the facility is proposed to be located, and the clerk
of each municipality, any portion of which is within three miles of the
boundary of the facility.  Upon the request of any person upon whom notice
is required to be served, the applicant shall promptly furnish a copy of
the application to the person making the request.

(c) (i) Not more than 90 days after receipt of a complete application
for a permit under this Section, the Agency shall give public notice of
its preliminary determination to either issue or deny the permit, and shall

contain a short and plain statement identifying the petitioner and stating
the petitioner's interest.  The petitioner shall serve the petition upon

public hearing shall be reproduced and filed at the office of the county
board or governing body of the municipality and may be copied upon payment of
the actual cost of reproduction.

by this Section the Agency shall render a final decision either granting
or denying the permit.

to authority delegated from the United States pursuant to the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, P.L. 94-580, as amended, or the Safe
