 1        AN ACT concerning pollution.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  1.  Short title.  This Act shall be cited as the
 5    Northeastern Illinois  Nonattainment  Area  Planning  Council
 6    Act.

 7        Section 5.  Legislative findings.
 8        (a)  There  is an increasing concern about the cumulative
 9    effects  of  all  pollution  sources   in   the   Chicagoland
10    nonattainment  area.  A  permit  issued  by the Environmental
11    Protection Agency considers the  effects  of  the  individual
12    source proposed and not the cumulative effects of that source
13    in  combination  with other existing sources.  A large number
14    of new pollution sources, including but not limited to peaker
15    plants, seek construction  and  operating  permits  from  the
16    Environmental Protection Agency each year.  Local governments
17    regulate   these   sources   through   zoning  and  land  use
18    ordinances, but often do not have the necessary expertise  to
19    evaluate the environmental impact of these sources.
20        (b)  There  is  currently  no comprehensive regional plan
21    for analyzing the cumulative  effects  of  current  pollutant
22    sources,  for  determining  the  location  of  new  pollution
23    sources,  or  for  limiting  the number of new sources in the
24    Chicagoland nonattainment areas.
25        (c)  It is the goal of this legislation  to  develop  and
26    implement  a  comprehensive  regional  plan  to  provide  the
27    necessary   expertise   for   the  consideration  of  current
28    pollution sources and the siting of new pollution sources.

29        Section 10.  Definitions.  For the purposes of this Act:
30        "Northeastern  Illinois  nonattainment  area"  means  the
 
                            -2-                LRB9206666LBgc
 1    counties of Cook, Lake, McHenry, Will, DuPage, and Kane,  the
 2    townships  of  Aux Sable and Goose Lake in Grundy County, the
 3    township of Oswego in Kendall County, and any  other  portion
 4    of  Northeastern  Illinois  that may be designated as part of
 5    the Chicago Ozone Nonattainment Area  by  the  United  States
 6    Environmental Protection Agency.
 7        "Source"  means  any  source  of  air,  water,  or  noise
 8    pollution  whether  or  not  permitted  by  the Environmental
 9    Protection Agency.

10        Section  15.  Northeastern  Illinois  Nonattainment  Area
11    Planning Council.
12        (a)  There   is   created   a    Northeastern    Illinois

17    Commerce and Community Affairs, or his or her  designee;  the
18    Chairman  of  the Illinois Commerce Commission, or his or her
19    designee; the Chairman of the Pollution Control Board, or his
20    or  her  designee;  one  representative   of   the   Illinois
21    Environmental  Council;  one  representative  of the Illinois
22    Manufacturers Association;  3  representatives  of  municipal
23    governments  in  the Northeastern Illinois nonattainment area
24    designated  by  the  Illinois   Municipal   League;   and   3
25    representatives  of  county  governments in the nonattainment
26    area designated by the Illinois Association of  County  Board
27    Members and Commissioners.
28        (b)  The Council shall have the following duties:
29             (1)  to develop standards by which the Environmental
30        Protection  Agency  shall  comprehensively  review permit

 5        effect  of  air,  water,  land, and noise pollutants that
 6        must be met depending on the proximity  of  the  proposed
 7        facility to a school;
 8             (3)  to  provide guidelines for local governments to
 9        use  when  making  zoning  and  land  use  decisions  for
10        facilities;
11             (4)  to provide expertise for local governments  who
12        are  making zoning and land use decisions by serving as a
13        resource for local  governments  regarding  environmental
14        considerations in the siting process;
15             (5)  to   develop   a   database   with   cumulative
16        information   about   all   pollution   sources   in  the
17        Northeastern Illinois nonattainment  area  that  will  be

14    contiguous or  adjacent  properties  that  are  under  common
15    control  of the same person (or persons under common control)
16    and that belongs to a single major industrial grouping.   For
17    the  purposes  of  defining  "source," a stationary source or
18    group of stationary sources shall be  considered  part  of  a
19    single  major  industrial  grouping  if  all of the pollutant
20    emitting activities  at  such  source  or  group  of  sources
21    located on contiguous or adjacent properties and under common
22    control  belong  to  the same Major Group (i.e., all have the
23    same two-digit code) as described in the Standard  Industrial
24    Classification  Manual,  1987,  or  such  pollutant  emitting
25    activities  at  a  stationary  source (or group of stationary
26    sources) located on contiguous  or  adjacent  properties  and
27    under  common  control  constitute  a  support facility.  The
28    determination as to whether any group of  stationary  sources
29    are  located on contiguous or adjacent properties, and/or are
30    under common control, and/or whether the  pollutant  emitting
31    activities  at  such group of stationary sources constitute a
32    support facility shall be made on a case by case basis.
33        "Stationary  source"  means  any   building,   structure,
34    facility,   or  installation  that  emits  or  may  emit  any
 
                            -14-               LRB9206666LBgc

 2    112(b) of the Clean Air Act.
 3        "Support facility" means any stationary source (or  group
 4    of  stationary  sources)  that  conveys, stores, or otherwise
 5    assists to a  significant  extent  in  the  production  of  a
 6    principal  product  at another stationary source (or group of
 7    stationary sources).  A support facility shall be  considered
 8    to  be  part  of the same source as the stationary source (or
 9    group of stationary sources) that it supports  regardless  of
10    the  2-digit  Standard Industrial Classification code for the
11    support facility.
12        "USEPA" means the  Administrator  of  the  United  States
13    Environmental   Protection   Agency   (USEPA)   or  a  person

16             a.  An  owner  or  operator  of   a   source   which
17        determines  that  the  source  could be excluded from the
18        CAAPP may seek such exclusion prior to the date that  the
19        CAAPP  application  for  the source is due but in no case
20        later than 9 months after the effective date of the CAAPP
21        through   the   imposition   of   federally   enforceable
22        conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of the source
23        to a level below the  major  source  threshold  for  that
24        source  as  described  in paragraph 2(c) of this Section,
25        within  a  State  operating  permit  issued  pursuant  to
26        Section 39(a) of this Act. After such date, an  exclusion
27        from the CAAPP may be sought under paragraph 3(c) of this
28        Section.
29             b.  An   owner  or  operator  of  a  source  seeking
30        exclusion from the CAAPP pursuant  to  paragraph  (a)  of
31        this   subsection   must   submit  a  permit  application
32        consistent with the existing State permit  program  which
33        specifically   requests   such   exclusion   through  the
34        imposition of such federally enforceable conditions.
 
                            -15-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             c.  Upon such request, if the Agency determines that
 2        the  owner  or  operator  of  a  source   has   met   the
 3        requirements  for  exclusion pursuant to paragraph (a) of
 4        this subsection and  other  applicable  requirements  for
 5        permit  issuance  under  Section  39(a)  of this Act, the
 6        Agency shall issue a  State  operating  permit  for  such
 7        source  under  Section 39(a) of this Act, as amended, and
 8        regulations   promulgated   thereunder   with   federally
 9        enforceable conditions limiting the "potential  to  emit"
10        of the source to a level below the major source threshold
11        for  that  source  as described in paragraph 2(c) of this
12        Section.
13             d.  The Agency shall provide an owner or operator of
14        a source which may be excluded from the CAAPP pursuant to
15        this subsection with reasonable notice that the owner  or
16        operator may seek such exclusion.
17             e.  The  Agency  shall provide such sources with the
18        necessary permit application forms.

17                  not  such  units  are  in  a contiguous area or
18                  under common control, to determine whether such
19                  stations are major sources.
20                       B.  For  radionuclides,   "major   source"

26             emit,   100   tpy  or  more  of  any  air  pollutant
27             (including any major source of fugitive emissions of
28             any such pollutant, as determined by rule by USEPA).
29             For   purposes   of   this   subsection,   "fugitive
30             emissions" means those  emissions  which  could  not
31             reasonably  pass  through a stack, chimney, vent, or
32             other functionally-equivalent opening.  The fugitive
33             emissions  of  a  stationary  source  shall  not  be
34             considered in determining  whether  it  is  a  major

 8                  under  Section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act,
 9                  but only with respect to those  air  pollutants
10                  that have been regulated for that category.
11                       BB.  Any  other stationary source category

22                  tons  or  more  per year in areas classified as
23                  "extreme"; except that the references  in  this
24                  clause  to 100, 50, 25, and 10 tons per year of
25                  nitrogen oxides shall not apply with respect to
26                  any source for which USEPA has made a  finding,

15        3.  Agency Authority To Issue CAAPP Permits and Federally
16    Enforceable State Operating Permits.
17             a.  The Agency shall issue CAAPP permits under  this
18        Section consistent with the Clean Air Act and regulations
19        promulgated  thereunder  and  this  Act  and  regulations
20        promulgated thereunder.
21             b.  The  Agency  shall issue CAAPP permits for fixed
22        terms of 5 years, except CAAPP permits issued  for  solid
23        waste incineration units combusting municipal waste which
24        shall  be  issued  for fixed terms of 12 years and except
25        CAAPP permits for affected sources  for  acid  deposition
26        which  shall  be  issued  for  initial terms to expire on
27        December 31,  1999,  and  for  fixed  terms  of  5  years
28        thereafter.
29             c.  The  Agency  shall have the authority to issue a
30        State operating permit for a source under  Section  39(a)
31        of  this  Act,  as  amended,  and regulations promulgated
32        thereunder,   which   includes   federally    enforceable
33        conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of the source
34        to  a  level  below  the  major source threshold for that
 
                            -21-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        source as described in paragraph 2(c)  of  this  Section,
 2        thereby   excluding  the  source  from  the  CAAPP,  when
 3        requested by the applicant pursuant to paragraph 5(u)  of
 4        this  Section.   The  public  notice requirements of this
 5        Section applicable to CAAPP permits shall also  apply  to
 6        the initial issuance of permits under this paragraph.
 7             d.  For  purposes  of  this  Act, a permit issued by
 8        USEPA under Section 505 of the Clean Air Act, as now  and
 9        hereafter  amended, shall be deemed to be a permit issued
10        by the Agency pursuant to Section 39.5 of this Act.

11        4.  Transition.
12             a.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not
13        be required to renew an existing State  operating  permit
14        for  any  emission unit at such CAAPP source once a CAAPP
15        application timely submitted prior to expiration  of  the
16        State  operating  permit  has  been  deemed complete. For
17        purposes other than permit renewal, the  obligation  upon
18        the owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State
19        operating  permit  is  not  removed upon submittal of the
20        complete CAAPP permit application.  An owner or  operator
21        of  a  CAAPP  source  seeking to make a modification to a
22        source prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be
23        required to obtain a construction and/or operating permit
24        as required for such modification in accordance with  the
25        State  permit program under Section 39(a) of this Act, as
26        amended, and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.   The
27        application for such construction and/or operating permit
28        shall be considered an amendment to the CAAPP application
29        submitted for such source.
30             b.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
31        continue to operate in  accordance  with  the  terms  and
32        conditions  of  its  applicable  State  operating  permit
33        notwithstanding  the  expiration  of  the State operating
34        permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued.
 
                            -22-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             c.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
 2        submit  its  initial  CAAPP  application to the Agency no
 3        later than 12 months after  the  effective  date  of  the
 4        CAAPP.  The Agency may request submittal of initial CAAPP
 5        applications  during  this 12 month period according to a
 6        schedule set forth within Agency procedures, however,  in
 7        no  event shall the Agency require such submittal earlier
 8        than 3 months after such effective date of the CAAPP.  An
 9        owner or operator  may  voluntarily  submit  its  initial
10        CAAPP  application prior to the date required within this
11        paragraph or applicable procedures, if any, subsequent to
12        the date the  Agency  submits  the  CAAPP  to  USEPA  for
13        approval.
14             d.  The   Agency   shall   act   on   initial  CAAPP
15        applications in accordance with subsection 5(j)  of  this
16        Section.
17             e.  For  purposes of this Section, the term "initial
18        CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application
19        submitted for a source existing as of the effective  date
20        of the CAAPP.
21             f.  The  Agency shall provide owners or operators of
22        CAAPP sources with at least three months  advance  notice
23        of  the  date on which their applications are required to
24        be submitted.  In  determining  which  sources  shall  be
25        subject  to  early  submittal,  the  Agency shall include
26        among its considerations the  complexity  of  the  permit
27        application,  and  the  burden  that such early submittal
28        will have on the source.
29             g.  The CAAPP permit shall upon  becoming  effective
30        supersede the State operating permit.
31             h.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
32        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
33        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
34        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 1        5.  Applications and Completeness.
 2             a.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
 3        submit its complete CAAPP application consistent with the
 4        Act and applicable regulations.
 5             b.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
 6        submit a single complete CAAPP application  covering  all
 7        emission units at that source.
 8             c.  To  be deemed complete, a CAAPP application must
 9        provide  all  information,   as   requested   in   Agency
10        application  forms,  sufficient  to  evaluate the subject
11        source  and  its  application  and   to   determine   all
12        applicable  requirements,  pursuant to the Clean Air Act,
13        and regulations  thereunder,  this  Act  and  regulations
14        thereunder.   Such  Agency  application  forms  shall  be
15        finalized  and  made available prior to the date on which
16        any CAAPP application is required.
17             d.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
18        submit,  as  part  of  its  complete CAAPP application, a
19        compliance plan,  including  a  schedule  of  compliance,
20        describing  how  each  emission unit will comply with all
21        applicable requirements.  Any such schedule of compliance
22        shall  be  supplemental  to,  and  shall   not   sanction
23        noncompliance  with, the applicable requirements on which
24        it is based.
25             e.  Each  submitted  CAAPP  application   shall   be
26        certified  for  truth,  accuracy,  and  completeness by a
27        responsible  official  in  accordance   with   applicable
28        regulations.
29             f.  The  Agency  shall  provide  notice  to  a CAAPP
30        applicant as to whether a submitted CAAPP application  is
31        complete.   Unless  the  Agency notifies the applicant of
32        incompleteness, within 60 days of receipt  of  the  CAAPP
33        application,  the  application  shall be deemed complete.
34        The Agency may request additional information  as  needed
 
                            -24-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        to  make  the completeness determination.  The Agency may
 2        to the extent practicable provide the  applicant  with  a
 3        reasonable opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a
 4        final determination of completeness.
 5             g.  If  after  the determination of completeness the
 6        Agency finds that additional information is necessary  to
 7        evaluate  or  take final action on the CAAPP application,
 8        the Agency may request in writing such  information  from
 9        the source with a reasonable deadline for response.
10             h.  If  the  owner  or  operator  of  a CAAPP source
11        submits a timely  and  complete  CAAPP  application,  the
12        source's  failure  to  have a CAAPP permit shall not be a
13        violation of this Section until the  Agency  takes  final
14        action  on  the  submitted  CAAPP  application, provided,
15        however,  where  the  applicant  fails  to   submit   the
16        requested  information  under  paragraph  5(g) within the
17        time frame specified by the Agency, this protection shall
18        cease to apply.
19             i.  Any applicant who fails to submit  any  relevant
20        facts  necessary  to  evaluate the subject source and its
21        CAAPP  application  or  who   has   submitted   incorrect
22        information  in  a CAAPP application shall, upon becoming
23        aware of such  failure  or  incorrect  submittal,  submit
24        supplementary facts or correct information to the Agency.
25        In  addition,  an  applicant  shall provide to the Agency
26        additional  information  as  necessary  to  address   any
27        requirements   which  become  applicable  to  the  source
28        subsequent  to  the  date  the  applicant  submitted  its
29        complete CAAPP application but prior to  release  of  the
30        draft CAAPP permit.
31             j.  The  Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP permit
32        within 18  months  after  the  date  of  receipt  of  the
33        complete    CAAPP   application,   with   the   following
34        exceptions:  (i) permits for affected  sources  for  acid
 
                            -25-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        deposition  shall  be  issued  or  denied within 6 months
 2        after receipt of a  complete  application  in  accordance
 3        with subsection 17 of this Section; (ii) the Agency shall
 4        act  on initial CAAPP applications within 24 months after
 5        the date of receipt of the  complete  CAAPP  application;
 6        (iii)  the  Agency  shall  act  on  complete applications
 7        containing early reduction demonstrations  under  Section
 8        112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act within 9 months of receipt
 9        of the complete CAAPP application.
10             Where  the  Agency does not take final action on the
11        permit within the required time period, the permit  shall
12        not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be
13        treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial
14        review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act.
15             k.  The  submittal  of  a complete CAAPP application
16        shall not affect the requirement that any source  have  a
17        preconstruction  permit  under  Title  I of the Clean Air
18        Act.
19             l.  Unless a timely and complete renewal application
20        has been submitted consistent  with  this  subsection,  a
21        CAAPP  source  operating upon the expiration of its CAAPP
22        permit shall be deemed to be operating  without  a  CAAPP
23        permit.  Such operation is prohibited under this Act.
24             m.  Permits  being  renewed  shall be subject to the
25        same procedural requirements, including those for  public
26        participation  and  federal  review  and  objection, that
27        apply to original permit issuance.
28             n.  For  purposes  of  permit  renewal,   a   timely
29        application  is  one  that  is  submitted  no less than 9
30        months prior to the date of permit expiration.
31             o.  The terms and conditions of a CAAPP permit shall
32        remain in effect until the issuance of  a  CAAPP  renewal
33        permit  provided  a timely and complete CAAPP application
34        has been submitted.

 1             p.  The owner or operator of a CAAPP source  seeking
 2        a  permit  shield  pursuant  to  paragraph  7(j)  of this
 3        Section shall request such permit  shield  in  the  CAAPP
 4        application regarding that source.
 5             q.  The  Agency  shall  make available to the public
 6        all documents submitted by the applicant to  the  Agency,
 7        including   each   CAAPP   application,  compliance  plan
 8        (including the schedule of compliance), and emissions  or
 9        compliance  monitoring  report,  with  the  exception  of
10        information  entitled  to confidential treatment pursuant
11        to Section 7 of this Act.
12             r.  The Agency  shall  use  the  standardized  forms
13        required  under  Title  IV  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and
14        regulations  promulgated  thereunder for affected sources
15        for acid deposition.
16             s.  An owner or  operator  of  a  CAAPP  source  may
17        include  within  its  CAAPP  application  a  request  for
18        permission  to  operate during a startup, malfunction, or
19        breakdown consistent with applicable Board regulations.
20             t.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source, in order
21        to utilize the  operational  flexibility  provided  under
22        paragraph 7(l) of this Section, must request such use and
23        provide   the  necessary  information  within  its  CAAPP
24        application.
25             u.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  which
26        seeks  exclusion from the CAAPP through the imposition of
27        federally enforceable conditions, pursuant  to  paragraph
28        3(c)  of this Section, must request such exclusion within
29        a  CAAPP  application  submitted  consistent  with   this
30        subsection   on   or   after  the  date  that  the  CAAPP
31        application for the source is due. Prior  to  such  date,
32        but  in  no  case later than 9 months after the effective
33        date of the CAAPP, such owner or operator may request the
34        imposition of federally enforceable  conditions  pursuant
 
                            -27-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        to paragraph 1.1(b) of this Section.
 2             v.  CAAPP   applications   shall   contain  accurate
 3        information on allowable emissions to implement  the  fee
 4        provisions of subsection 18 of this Section.
 5             w.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
 6        submit within its CAAPP application emissions information
 7        regarding all regulated air pollutants  emitted  at  that
 8        source  consistent  with  applicable  Agency  procedures.
 9        Emissions  information regarding insignificant activities
10        or emission levels, as determined by the Agency  pursuant
11        to  Board  regulations, may be submitted as a list within
12        the  CAAPP  application.   The   Agency   shall   propose
13        regulations   to   the   Board   defining   insignificant
14        activities  or  emission  levels, consistent with federal
15        regulations, if any, no later than 18  months  after  the
16        effective date of this amendatory Act of 1992, consistent
17        with  Section  112(n)(1) of the Clean Air Act.  The Board
18        shall  adopt  final  regulations  defining  insignificant
19        activities or emission levels  no  later  than  9  months
20        after the date of the Agency's proposal.

22        shall submit its complete  CAAPP  application  consistent
23        with  this  subsection  within 12 months after commencing
24        operation of such source. The owner  or  operator  of  an
25        existing   source   that   has  been  excluded  from  the
26        provisions  of  this  Section  under  subsection  1.1  or
27        subsection 3(c) of this Section and that becomes  subject
28        to  the  CAAPP solely due to a change in operation at the
29        source  shall  submit  its  complete  CAAPP   application
30        consistent  with this subsection at least 180 days before
31        commencing operation in accordance  with  the  change  in
32        operation.
33             y.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
34        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois

 1        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
 2        necessary to implement this subsection.

 3        6.  Prohibitions.
 4             a.  It shall be unlawful for any person  to  violate
 5        any  terms  or  conditions  of a permit issued under this
 6        Section, to operate any CAAPP source except in compliance
 7        with a permit issued by the Agency under this Section  or
 8        to  violate any other applicable requirements.  All terms
 9        and conditions of a permit issued under this Section  are
10        enforceable  by  USEPA  and  citizens under the Clean Air
11        Act,  except  those,  if  any,  that   are   specifically
12        designated  as  not  being  federally  enforceable in the
13        permit pursuant to paragraph 7(m) of this Section.
14             b.  After the applicable  CAAPP  permit  or  renewal
15        application  submittal date, as specified in subsection 5
16        of this Section, no person shall operate a  CAAPP  source
17        without  a  CAAPP permit unless the complete CAAPP permit
18        or renewal application for such source  has  been  timely
19        submitted to the Agency.
20             c.  No  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
21        cause or threaten or allow the continued operation of  an
22        emission  source  during  malfunction or breakdown of the
23        emission  source  or  related   air   pollution   control
24        equipment  if  such  operation would cause a violation of
25        the standards or limitations applicable  to  the  source,
26        unless  the  CAAPP  permit granted to the source provides
27        for  such  operation  consistent  with   this   Act   and
28        applicable Board regulations.

29        7.  Permit Content.
30             a.  All   CAAPP   permits   shall  contain  emission
31        limitations and standards and other enforceable terms and

 4        requirements.
 5             b.  The  Agency  shall include among such conditions
 6        applicable  monitoring,  reporting,  record  keeping  and
 7        compliance certification requirements, as  authorized  by
 8        paragraphs  d,  e,  and  f  of  this subsection, that the
 9        Agency deems necessary  to  assure  compliance  with  the
10        Clean  Air  Act,  the regulations promulgated thereunder,
11        this  Act,  and  applicable  Board   regulations.    When
12        monitoring,  reporting,  record  keeping,  and compliance
13        certification requirements are specified within the Clean
14        Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act, or
15        applicable  regulations,  such  requirements   shall   be
16        included  within  the CAAPP permit.  The Board shall have
17        authority  to  promulgate  additional  regulations  where
18        necessary to accomplish the purposes  of  the  Clean  Air
19        Act, this Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder.
20             c.  The Agency shall assure, within such conditions,

 1                  ii.  Where the applicable requirement does  not
 2             require   periodic   testing   or   instrumental  or
 3             noninstrumental monitoring  (which  may  consist  of
 4             recordkeeping  designed  to  serve  as  monitoring),
 5             require  periodic  monitoring  sufficient  to  yield
 6             reliable  data from the relevant time period that is
 7             representative of the source's compliance  with  the
 8             permit,  as  reported  pursuant  to paragraph (f) of
 9             this  subsection.  The  Agency  may  determine  that
10             recordkeeping requirements are  sufficient  to  meet
11             the requirements of this subparagraph.
12                  iii.  As    necessary,   specify   requirements

 8        identify  all  applicable  reporting   requirements   and
 9        require the following:
10                  i.  Submittal   of   reports  of  any  required
11             monitoring every 6 months.  More frequent submittals
12             may be requested by the Agency  if  such  submittals
13             are  necessary to assure compliance with this Act or
14             regulations promulgated  by  the  Board  thereunder.
15             All instances of deviations from permit requirements
16             must  be  clearly  identified  in such reports.  All
17             required reports must be certified by a  responsible
18             official   consistent  with  subsection  5  of  this
19             Section.
20                  ii.  Prompt reporting of deviations from permit
21             requirements, including those attributable to  upset
22             conditions  as  defined  in the permit, the probable
23             cause of such deviations, and any corrective actions
24             or preventive measures taken.
25             g.  Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10  of
26        this   Section  shall  include  a  condition  prohibiting
27        emissions  exceeding  any  allowances  that  the   source
28        lawfully holds under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or the
29        regulations   promulgated   thereunder,  consistent  with
30        subsection 17 of this Section and applicable regulations,
31        if any.
32             h.  All  CAAPP  permits  shall  state  that,   where
33        another  applicable  requirement  of the Clean Air Act is
34        more  stringent  than  any  applicable   requirement   of
 
                            -32-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        regulations  promulgated  under Title IV of the Clean Air
 2        Act, both  provisions  shall  be  incorporated  into  the
 3        permit and shall be State and federally enforceable.
 4             i.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
 5        this Section  shall  include  a  severability  clause  to
 6        ensure  the  continued  validity  of  the  various permit
 7        requirements in the event of a challenge to any  portions
 8        of the permit.
 9             j.  The following shall apply with respect to owners
10        or operators requesting a permit shield:
11                  i.  The Agency shall include in a CAAPP permit,
12             when requested by an applicant pursuant to paragraph
13             5(p)  of  this  Section,  a  provision  stating that
14             compliance with the conditions of the  permit  shall
15             be  deemed  compliance  with applicable requirements
16             which are applicable as of the date  of  release  of
17             the proposed permit, provided that:
18                       A.  The    applicable    requirement    is
19                  specifically identified within the permit; or
20                       B.  The  Agency  in  acting  on  the CAAPP
21                  application or revision determines  in  writing
22                  that other requirements specifically identified
23                  are  not  applicable  to  the  source,  and the
24                  permit includes that determination or a concise
25                  summary thereof.
26                  ii.  The permit shall identify the requirements
27             for which the source is shielded.  The shield  shall
28             not  extend  to  applicable  requirements  which are
29             promulgated  after  the  date  of  release  of   the
30             proposed  permit unless the permit has been modified
31             to reflect such new requirements.
32                  iii.  A CAAPP permit which does  not  expressly
33             indicate  the existence of a permit shield shall not
34             provide such a shield.

 1                  iv.  Nothing in this paragraph or  in  a  CAAPP
 2             permit shall alter or affect the following:
 3                       A.  The    provisions   of   Section   303
 4                  (emergency  powers)  of  the  Clean  Air   Act,
 5                  including USEPA's authority under that section.
 6                       B.  The  liability of an owner or operator
 7                  of a source for  any  violation  of  applicable
 8                  requirements  prior to or at the time of permit
 9                  issuance.
10                       C.  The  applicable  requirements  of  the
11                  acid  rain  program  consistent  with   Section
12                  408(a) of the Clean Air Act.
13                       D.  The   ability   of   USEPA  to  obtain
14                  information from a source pursuant  to  Section
15                  114 (inspections, monitoring, and entry) of the
16                  Clean Air Act.
17             k.  Each  CAAPP  permit  shall  include an emergency
18        provision providing an affirmative defense  of  emergency
19        to    an    action   brought   for   noncompliance   with
20        technology-based  emission  limitations  under  a   CAAPP
21        permit  if  the  following  conditions  are  met  through
22        properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
23        relevant evidence:
24                  i.  An emergency occurred and the permittee can
25             identify the cause(s) of the emergency.
26                  ii.  The  permitted  facility  was  at the time
27             being properly operated.
28                  iii.  The permittee  submitted  notice  of  the
29             emergency to the Agency within 2 working days of the
30             time  when emission limitations were exceeded due to
31             the emergency.  This notice must contain a  detailed
32             description  of  the  emergency,  any steps taken to
33             mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
34                  iv.  During the period  of  the  emergency  the
 
                            -34-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             permittee  took  all  reasonable  steps  to minimize
 2             levels  of  emissions  that  exceeded  the  emission
 3             limitations,  standards,  or  requirements  in   the
 4             permit.
 5             For  purposes  of this subsection, "emergency" means
 6        any  situation  arising  from   sudden   and   reasonably
 7        unforeseeable  events  beyond  the control of the source,
 8        such as an act of God, that requires immediate corrective
 9        action to restore normal operation, and that  causes  the
10        source  to  exceed a technology-based emission limitation
11        under  the  permit,  due  to  unavoidable  increases   in
12        emissions  attributable  to  the emergency.  An emergency
13        shall not include noncompliance to the extent  caused  by
14        improperly   designed  equipment,  lack  of  preventative
15        maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operation
16        error.
17             In  any  enforcement   proceeding,   the   permittee
18        seeking  to  establish the occurrence of an emergency has
19        the burden of proof.  This provision is  in  addition  to
20        any   emergency  or  upset  provision  contained  in  any
21        applicable requirement.  This provision does not  relieve
22        a  permittee  of any reporting obligations under existing
23        federal or state laws or regulations.
24             l.  The Agency shall include in each  permit  issued
25        under subsection 10 of this Section:
26                  i.  Terms   and   conditions   for   reasonably
27             anticipated  operating  scenarios  identified by the
28             source in its application.   The  permit  terms  and
29             conditions  for  each  such operating scenario shall
30             meet   all   applicable   requirements    and    the
31             requirements of this Section.
32                       A.  Under  this  subparagraph,  the source
33                  must record in a log at the permitted  facility
34                  a  record  of  the  scenario  under which it is
 
                            -35-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1                  operating  contemporaneously  with   making   a
 2                  change from one operating scenario to another.
 3                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
 4                  paragraph  7(j) of this Section shall extend to
 5                  all  terms  and  conditions  under  each   such
 6                  operating scenario.
 7                  ii.  Where requested by an applicant, all terms
 8             and  conditions  allowing  for  trading of emissions
 9             increases and decreases between  different  emission
10             units  at  the  CAAPP source, to the extent that the
11             applicable requirements provide for trading of  such
12             emissions   increases   and   decreases   without  a
13             case-by-case approval of each emissions trade.  Such
14             terms and conditions:
15                       A.  Shall include all terms required under
16                  this subsection to determine compliance;

22             m.  The Agency shall specifically designate  as  not
23        being  federally  enforceable under the Clean Air Act any
24        terms and conditions included in the permit that are  not

10             Any  permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of
11             the Clean Air Act and the Act, and  is  grounds  for
12             any  or  all  of the following:  enforcement action;
13             permit termination, revocation  and  reissuance,  or

16                  ii.  Need to halt  or  reduce  activity  not  a
17             defense.   It shall not be a defense for a permittee

20             in order to maintain compliance with the  conditions
21             of this permit.
22                  iii.  Permit   actions.    The  permit  may  be
23             modified,  revoked,  reopened,  and   reissued,   or

27             permit modification, revocation and  reissuance,  or
28             termination, or of a notification of planned changes
29             or  anticipated  noncompliance  does  not  stay  any
30             permit condition.
31                  iv.  Property  rights.   The  permit  does  not
32             convey  any  property  rights  of  any  sort, or any
33             exclusive privilege.
34                  v.  Duty to provide information.  The permittee

 5             or terminating the permit or to determine compliance
 6             with  the permit.  Upon request, the permittee shall
 7             also  furnish  to  the  Agency  copies  of   records
 8             required   to   be   kept  by  the  permit  or,  for

10             permittee may furnish such records directly to USEPA
11             along with a claim of confidentiality.
12                  vi.  Duty  to pay fees.  The permittee must pay
13             fees to the Agency consistent with the fee  schedule
14             approved  pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section,
15             and submit any information relevant thereto.
16                  vii.  Emissions trading.   No  permit  revision
17             shall be required for increases in emissions allowed
18             under  any  approved economic incentives, marketable
19             permits,  emissions  trading,  and   other   similar
20             programs  or processes for changes that are provided

23             p.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
24        this Section shall contain the  following  elements  with
25        respect to compliance:
26                  i.  Compliance      certification,     testing,

29             the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  permit.    Any
30             document  (including  reports)  required  by a CAAPP
31             permit  shall   contain   a   certification   by   a
32             responsible  official that meets the requirements of

                            -41-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        references to  the  applicable  statutory  or  regulatory
 2        provisions.   The  Agency shall provide this statement to
 3        any person who requests it.
 4             c.  The Agency shall give notice of each draft CAAPP

11        allowed  under  subsection  14  of  this  Section), shall
12        notify USEPA and any affected State  in  writing  of  any
13        refusal   of   the   Agency   to   accept   all   of  the
14        recommendations for the proposed permit that an  affected
15        State  submitted  during  the  public  or  affected State
16        review period.  The notice  shall  include  the  Agency's
17        reasons  for  not  accepting  the  recommendations.   The

30        such information, which shall not be included in a  CAAPP
31        permit  unless  required by law.  The contents of a CAAPP
32        permit shall not be entitled to protection under  Section
33        7(a) or Section 7.1 of this Act.
34             f.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt

 1        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
 2        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
 3        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 4        9.  USEPA Notice and Objection.
 5             a.  The Agency shall provide to USEPA for its review
 6        a  copy  of  each  CAAPP   application   (including   any
 7        application  for permit modification), statement of basis
 8        as provided in paragraph 8(b) of this  Section,  proposed
 9        CAAPP  permit,  CAAPP permit, and, if the Agency does not
10        incorporate any affected  State's  recommendations  on  a
11        proposed  CAAPP  permit,  a  written  statement  of  this
12        decision   and   its   reasons   for  not  accepting  the
13        recommendations, except as otherwise provided in this Act
14        or by agreement with USEPA.  To the  extent  practicable,
15        the  preceding  information shall be provided in computer
16        readable format compatible with USEPA's national database
17        management system.
18             b.  The Agency shall not issue  the  proposed  CAAPP
19        permit  if  USEPA  objects  in  writing within 45 days of
20        receipt of the proposed CAAPP permit  and  all  necessary
21        supporting information.
22             c.  If  USEPA  objects in writing to the issuance of
23        the proposed CAAPP permit within the 45-day  period,  the
24        Agency  shall  respond  in  writing  and  may  revise and
25        resubmit the proposed CAAPP permit  in  response  to  the
26        stated  objection, to the extent supported by the record,
27        within 90 days after the date of the objection.  Prior to
28        submitting a revised permit to USEPA,  the  Agency  shall
29        provide  the applicant and any person who participated in
30        the public comment process, pursuant to subsection  8  of
31        this  Section,  with  a  10-day  period to comment on any
32        revision which the Agency is proposing  to  make  to  the
33        permit  in  response  to  USEPA's objection in accordance
34        with Agency procedures.

 1             d.  Any  USEPA  objection  under  this   subsection,
 2        according  to the Clean Air Act, will include a statement
 3        of reasons for the objection and  a  description  of  the
 4        terms and conditions that must be in the permit, in order
 5        to  adequately  respond to the objections.  Grounds for a
 6        USEPA objection include the failure  of  the  Agency  to:
 7        (1)  submit  the  items  and  notices required under this
 8        subsection; (2) submit any other information necessary to
 9        adequately review  the  proposed  CAAPP  permit;  or  (3)
10        process  the  permit  under  subsection 8 of this Section
11        except for minor permit modifications.
12             e.  If USEPA does not object in writing to  issuance
13        of  a  permit  under  this  subsection,  any  person  may
14        petition  USEPA  within  60  days after expiration of the
15        45-day review period to make such objection.
16             f.  If the permit has not yet been issued and  USEPA
17        objects  to  the  permit  as  a result of a petition, the
18        Agency shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection
19        has been resolved. The  Agency  shall  provide  a  10-day
20        comment  period  in  accordance  with paragraph c of this
21        subsection.  A  petition  does  not,  however,  stay  the
22        effectiveness of a permit  or  its  requirements  if  the
23        permit  was  issued after expiration of the 45-day review
24        period and prior to a USEPA objection.
25             g.  If  the  Agency  has  issued  a   permit   after
26        expiration  of  the  45-day  review  period  and prior to
27        receipt of a USEPA objection  under  this  subsection  in
28        response  to a petition submitted pursuant to paragraph e
29        of this subsection, the Agency may, upon  receipt  of  an
30        objection  from  USEPA, revise and resubmit the permit to
31        USEPA pursuant  to  this  subsection  after  providing  a
32        10-day  comment  period in accordance with paragraph c of
33        this subsection. If the Agency fails to submit a  revised
34        permit  in response to the objection, USEPA shall modify,
 
                            -44-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        terminate or revoke the permit.  In any case, the  source
 2        will  not  be  in  violation  of  the requirement to have
 3        submitted a timely and complete application.
 4             h.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
 5        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
 6        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
 7        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 8        10.  Final Agency Action.
 9             a.  The  Agency  shall  issue a CAAPP permit, permit
10        modification, or permit renewal if all of  the  following
11        conditions are met:
12                  i.  The  applicant has submitted a complete and
13             certified   application   for   a   permit,   permit
14             modification,  or  permit  renewal  consistent  with
15             subsections 5 and 14 of this Section, as applicable,
16             and applicable regulations.
17                  ii.  The  applicant  has  submitted  with   its
18             complete  application an approvable compliance plan,
19             including  a  schedule  for  achieving   compliance,
20             consistent  with  subsection  5  of this Section and
21             applicable regulations.
22                  iii.  The applicant has timely  paid  the  fees
23             required  pursuant  to subsection 18 of this Section
24             and applicable regulations.
25                  iv.  The Agency has received a  complete  CAAPP
26             application  and,  if  necessary,  has requested and
27             received additional information from  the  applicant
28             consistent  with  subsection  5  of this Section and
29             applicable regulations.
30                  v.  The Agency has complied with all applicable
31             provisions  regarding  public  notice  and  affected
32             State review consistent with subsection  8  of  this
33             Section and applicable regulations.
34                  vi.  The  Agency  has  provided  a copy of each
 
                            -45-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             CAAPP application, or summary thereof,  pursuant  to
 2             agreement  with  USEPA  and  proposed  CAAPP  permit
 3             required  under  subsection  9  of  this  Section to
 4             USEPA, and USEPA has not objected to the issuance of
 5             the permit in accordance with the Clean Air Act  and
 6             40 CFR Part 70.
 7             b.  The  Agency  shall  have the authority to deny a
 8        CAAPP permit, permit modification, or permit  renewal  if
 9        the  applicant  has not complied with the requirements of
10        paragraphs (a)(i)-(a)(iv) of this subsection or if  USEPA
11        objects to its issuance.
12             c. i.  Prior  to  denial  of  a CAAPP permit, permit
13             modification, or permit renewal under this  Section,
14             the   Agency  shall  notify  the  applicant  of  the
15             possible denial and the reasons for the denial.
16                  ii.  Within  such  notice,  the  Agency   shall
17             specify  an  appropriate date by which the applicant
18             shall adequately respond  to  the  Agency's  notice.
19             Such date shall not exceed 15 days from the date the
20             notification  is  received  by  the  applicant.  The
21             Agency may grant a  reasonable  extension  for  good
22             cause shown.
23                  iii.  Failure  by  the  applicant to adequately
24             respond by the date specified in the notification or
25             by any granted extension date shall be  grounds  for
26             denial of the permit.
27                  For purposes of obtaining judicial review under
28             Sections  40.2  and 41 of this Act, the Agency shall
29             provide to  USEPA  and  each  applicant,  and,  upon
30             request,   to   affected   States,  any  person  who
31             participated in the public comment process, and  any
32             other person who could obtain  judicial review under
33             Sections  40.2  and  41  of this Act, a copy of each
34             CAAPP permit or notification of denial pertaining to
 
                            -46-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             that party.
 2             d.  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        11.  General Permits.
 7             a.  The  Agency  may issue a general permit covering
 8        numerous similar sources, except for affected sources for
 9        acid deposition unless otherwise provided in  regulations
10        promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
11             b.  The   Agency  shall  identify,  in  any  general
12        permit, criteria by which sources  may  qualify  for  the
13        general permit.
14             c.  CAAPP  sources  that would qualify for a general
15        permit must apply for coverage under  the  terms  of  the
16        general   permit   or  must  apply  for  a  CAAPP  permit
17        consistent  with  subsection  5  of  this   Section   and
18        applicable regulations.
19             d.  The  Agency shall comply with the public comment
20        and hearing provisions of this Section  as  well  as  the
21        USEPA  and  affected  State  review  procedures  prior to
22        issuance of a general permit.
23             e.  When  granting  a  subsequent   request   by   a
24        qualifying CAAPP source for coverage under the terms of a
25        general  permit,  the  Agency  shall  not  be required to
26        repeat the public notice  and  comment  procedures.   The
27        granting  of such request shall not be considered a final
28        permit action for purposes of judicial review.
29             f.  The Agency may not issue  a  general  permit  to
30        cover  any  discrete  emission  unit at a CAAPP source if
31        another CAAPP permit covers emission units at the source.
32             g.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
33        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
34        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
 
                            -47-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 2        12.  Operational Flexibility.
 3             a.  An  owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
 4        changes at the CAAPP source  without  requiring  a  prior
 5        permit  revision,  consistent  with subparagraphs (a) (i)
 6        through (a) (iii) of this  subsection,  so  long  as  the
 7        changes  are  not  modifications  under  any provision of
 8        Title I of the Clean Air Act and they do not  exceed  the
 9        emissions  allowable  under the permit (whether expressed
10        therein as a rate of  emissions  or  in  terms  of  total
11        emissions),  provided  that  the owner or operator of the
12        CAAPP source provides USEPA and the Agency  with  written
13        notification as required below in advance of the proposed
14        changes,  which  shall  be  a  minimum  of 7 days, unless
15        otherwise  provided   by   the   Agency   in   applicable
16        regulations regarding emergencies.  The owner or operator
17        of  a  CAAPP source and the Agency shall each attach such
18        notice to their copy of the relevant permit.
19                  i.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source  may
20             make  Section  502 (b) (10) changes without a permit
21             revision, if the changes are not modifications under
22             any provision of Title I of the Clean  Air  Act  and
23             the  changes  do  not exceed the emissions allowable
24             under the permit (whether  expressed  therein  as  a
25             rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions).
26                       A.  For  each  such  change,  the  written
27                  notification  required  above  shall  include a
28                  brief description  of  the  change  within  the
29                  source,  the  date  on  which  the  change will
30                  occur, any change in emissions, and any  permit
31                  term  or condition that is no longer applicable
32                  as a result of the change.
33                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
34                  paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall not  apply
 
                            -48-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1                  to   any   change   made   pursuant   to   this
 2                  subparagraph.
 3                  ii.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may
 4             trade  increases  and  decreases in emissions in the
 5             CAAPP source, where  the  applicable  implementation
 6             plan  provides  for  such  emission  trades  without
 7             requiring  a  permit  revision.   This  provision is
 8             available in those cases where the permit  does  not
 9             already provide for such emissions trading.
10                       A.  Under  this  subparagraph (a)(ii), the
11                  written  notification  required   above   shall
12                  include  such information as may be required by
13                  the provision in the applicable  implementation
14                  plan authorizing the emissions trade, including
15                  at  a  minimum,  when the proposed changes will
16                  occur, a description of each such  change,  any
17                  change  in  emissions,  the permit requirements
18                  with which the source  will  comply  using  the
19                  emissions  trading provisions of the applicable
20                  implementation plan, and the pollutants emitted
21                  subject to the  emissions  trade.   The  notice
22                  shall  also  refer  to  the  provisions  in the
23                  applicable implementation plan with  which  the
24                  source   will   comply   and  provide  for  the
25                  emissions trade.
26                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
27                  paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall not  apply
28                  to   any   change   made   pursuant   to   this
29                  subparagraph  (a)  (ii).    Compliance with the
30                  permit requirements that the source  will  meet
31                  using  the  emissions trade shall be determined
32                  according to the requirements of the applicable
33                  implementation plan authorizing  the  emissions
34                  trade.
 
                            -49-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1                  iii.  If  requested within a CAAPP application,
 2             the Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains
 3             terms and conditions, including all  terms  required
 4             under  subsection  7  of  this  Section to determine
 5             compliance, allowing for the  trading  of  emissions
 6             increases  and  decreases at the CAAPP source solely
 7             for   the    purpose    of    complying    with    a
 8             federally-enforceable    emissions   cap   that   is
 9             established in the permit independent  of  otherwise
10             applicable requirements.  The owner or operator of a
11             CAAPP  source shall include in its CAAPP application
12             proposed replicable procedures and permit terms that
13             ensure the emissions  trades  are  quantifiable  and
14             enforceable.    The   permit   shall   also  require
15             compliance with all applicable requirements.
16                       A.  Under this subparagraph (a)(iii),  the
17                  written notification required above shall state
18                  when  the  change will occur and shall describe
19                  the changes in emissions that will  result  and
20                  how  these increases and decreases in emissions
21                  will comply with the terms  and  conditions  of
22                  the permit.
23                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
24                  paragraph  7(j) of this Section shall extend to
25                  terms and conditions that allow such  increases
26                  and decreases in emissions.
27             b.  An  owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
28        changes that are  not  addressed  or  prohibited  by  the
29        permit,  other  than  those  which  are  subject  to  any
30        requirements  under  Title IV of the Clean Air Act or are
31        modifications under any provisions  of  Title  I  of  the
32        Clean  Air  Act, without a permit revision, in accordance
33        with the following requirements:
34                  (i)  Each such change shall meet all applicable
 
                            -50-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             requirements and  shall  not  violate  any  existing
 2             permit term or condition;
 3                  (ii)  Sources   must   provide  contemporaneous
 4             written notice to the Agency and USEPA of each  such
 5             change,   except   for   changes   that  qualify  as
 6             insignificant under provisions adopted by the Agency
 7             or the Board. Such  written  notice  shall  describe
 8             each  such change, including the date, any change in
 9             emissions, pollutants emitted,  and  any  applicable
10             requirement  that  would  apply  as  a result of the
11             change;
12                  (iii)  The change shall  not  qualify  for  the
13             shield  described in paragraph 7(j) of this Section;
14             and
15                  (iv)  The  permittee  shall   keep   a   record
16             describing changes made at the source that result in
17             emissions of a regulated air pollutant subject to an
18             applicable   Clean  Air  Act  requirement,  but  not
19             otherwise  regulated  under  the  permit,  and   the
20             emissions resulting from those changes.
21             c.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
22        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
23        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
24        necessary to implement this subsection.

25        13.  Administrative Permit Amendments.
26             a.  The Agency shall take final action on a  request
27        for  an administrative permit amendment within 60 days of
28        receipt  of  the  request.    Neither   notice   nor   an
29        opportunity  for  public and affected State comment shall
30        be required for the Agency to incorporate such revisions,
31        provided it designates the  permit  revisions  as  having
32        been made pursuant to this subsection.
33             b.  The  Agency  shall  submit a copy of the revised
34        permit to USEPA.
 
                            -51-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             c.  For  purposes   of   this   Section   the   term
 2        "administrative permit amendment" shall be defined as:  a
 3        permit  revision  that  can accomplish one or more of the
 4        changes described below:
 5                  i.  Corrects typographical errors;
 6                  ii.  Identifies a change in the name,  address,
 7             or  phone  number  of  any  person identified in the
 8             permit, or provides a similar  minor  administrative
 9             change at the source;
10                  iii.  Requires   more  frequent  monitoring  or
11             reporting by the permittee;
12                  iv.  Allows  for  a  change  in  ownership   or
13             operational  control  of  a  source where the Agency
14             determines that no other change  in  the  permit  is
15             necessary,   provided   that   a  written  agreement
16             containing a specific date for  transfer  of  permit
17             responsibility,  coverage, and liability between the
18             current and new permittees has been submitted to the
19             Agency;
20                  v.  Incorporates  into  the  CAAPP  permit  the
21             requirements  from  preconstruction  review  permits
22             authorized under a USEPA-approved program,  provided
23             the   program   meets   procedural   and  compliance
24             requirements  substantially  equivalent   to   those
25             contained in this Section;
26                  vi.  Incorporates into the CAAPP permit revised
27             limitations or other requirements resulting from the
28             application of an approved economic incentives rule,
29             a  marketable  permits  rule  or  generic  emissions
30             trading  rule,  where these rules have been approved
31             by USEPA and  require  changes  thereunder  to  meet
32             procedural  requirements substantially equivalent to
33             those specified in this Section; or
34                  vii.  Any other type of change which USEPA  has
 
                            -52-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             determined  as  part  of  the  approved CAAPP permit
 2             program to be similar  to  those  included  in  this
 3             subsection.
 4             d.  The  Agency  shall,  upon  taking  final  action
 5        granting  a  request   for   an   administrative   permit
 6        amendment,   allow  coverage  by  the  permit  shield  in
 7        paragraph 7(j) of this Section for administrative  permit
 8        amendments  made  pursuant to subparagraph (c)(v) of this
 9        subsection  which  meet  the  relevant  requirements  for
10        significant permit modifications.
11             e.  Permit revisions  and  modifications,  including
12        administrative   amendments   and   automatic  amendments
13        (pursuant to Sections 408(b) and 403(d) of the Clean  Air
14        Act  or regulations promulgated thereunder), for purposes
15        of the acid rain portion of the permit shall be  governed
16        by  the  regulations  promulgated  under  Title IV of the
17        Clean Air Act.  Owners or operators of  affected  sources
18        for  acid  deposition shall have the flexibility to amend
19        their compliance plans as  provided  in  the  regulations
20        promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
21             f.  The  CAAPP  source  may  implement  the  changes
22        addressed  in  the  request  for an administrative permit
23        amendment immediately upon submittal of the request.
24             g.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
25        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
26        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
27        necessary, to implement this subsection.

28        14.  Permit Modifications.
29             a.  Minor permit modification procedures.
30                  i.  The    Agency   shall   review   a   permit
31             modification using the "minor  permit"  modification
32             procedures only for those permit modifications that:
33                       A.  Do    not   violate   any   applicable
34                  requirement;
 
                            -53-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1                       B.  Do not involve significant changes  to
 2                  existing      monitoring,     reporting,     or
 3                  recordkeeping requirements in the permit;
 4                       C.  Do   not   require   a    case-by-case
 5                  determination  of  an  emission  limitation  or
 6                  other    standard,    or    a   source-specific
 7                  determination  of   ambient   impacts,   or   a
 8                  visibility or increment analysis;
 9                       D.  Do  not  seek to establish or change a
10                  permit term or condition for which there is  no
11                  corresponding  underlying requirement and which
12                  avoids an applicable requirement to  which  the
13                  source  would otherwise be subject.  Such terms
14                  and conditions include:
15                            1.  A federally enforceable emissions
16                       cap assumed to avoid classification  as  a
17                       modification  under any provision of Title
18                       I of the Clean Air Act; and
19                            2.  An  alternative  emissions  limit
20                       approved    pursuant    to     regulations
21                       promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of the
22                       Clean Air Act;
23                       E.  Are   not   modifications   under  any
24                  provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and
25                       F.  Are not required to be processed as  a
26                  significant modification.
27                  ii.  Notwithstanding  subparagraphs  (a)(i) and
28             (b)(ii)   of   this   subsection,    minor    permit
29             modification  procedures  may  be  used  for  permit
30             modifications   involving   the   use   of  economic
31             incentives, marketable permits,  emissions  trading,
32             and  other  similar  approaches,  to the extent that
33             such  minor  permit  modification   procedures   are
34             explicitly    provided    for   in   an   applicable
 
                            -54-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             implementation plan or  in  applicable  requirements
 2             promulgated by USEPA.
 3                  iii.  An  applicant requesting the use of minor
 4             permit  modification  procedures  shall   meet   the
 5             requirements  of  subsection  5  of this Section and
 6             shall include the following in its application:
 7                       A.  A  description  of  the  change,   the
 8                  emissions  resulting  from  the change, and any
 9                  new applicable requirements that will apply  if
10                  the change occurs;
11                       B.  The source's suggested draft permit;
12                       C.  Certification    by    a   responsible
13                  official, consistent  with  paragraph  5(e)  of
14                  this  Section  and applicable regulations, that
15                  the proposed modification  meets  the  criteria
16                  for use of minor permit modification procedures
17                  and a request that such procedures be used; and
18                       D.  Completed  forms for the Agency to use
19                  to notify USEPA and affected States as required
20                  under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
21                  iv.  Within 5 working  days  of  receipt  of  a
22             complete permit modification application, the Agency
23             shall  notify  USEPA  and  affected  States  of  the
24             requested  permit  modification  in  accordance with
25             subsections 8 and 9 of  this  Section.   The  Agency
26             promptly   shall  send  any  notice  required  under
27             paragraph 8(d) of this Section to USEPA.
28                  v.  The Agency may not  issue  a  final  permit
29             modification  until  after  the 45-day review period
30             for USEPA or until USEPA  has  notified  the  Agency
31             that  USEPA  will  not object to the issuance of the
32             permit modification, whichever comes first, although
33             the Agency can approve the permit modification prior
34             to that  time.   Within  90  days  of  the  Agency's
 
                            -55-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             receipt  of  an  application  under the minor permit
 2             modification procedures or 15 days after the end  of
 3             USEPA's  45-day  review period under subsection 9 of
 4             this Section, whichever is later, the Agency shall:
 5                       A.  Issue  the  permit   modification   as
 6                  proposed;
 7                       B.  Deny     the    permit    modification
 8                  application;
 9                       C.  Determine    that    the     requested
10                  modification  does  not  meet  the minor permit
11                  modification criteria and  should  be  reviewed
12                  under  the significant modification procedures;
13                  or
14                       D.  Revise the draft  permit  modification
15                  and  transmit  to USEPA the new proposed permit
16                  modification as required  by  subsection  9  of
17                  this Section.
18                  vi.  Any  CAAPP  source  may  make  the  change
19             proposed    in   its   minor   permit   modification
20             application  immediately   after   it   files   such
21             application.   After  the  CAAPP  source  makes  the
22             change  allowed by the preceding sentence, and until
23             the Agency takes any of  the  actions  specified  in
24             subparagraphs  (a)(v)(A)  through  (a)(v)(C) of this
25             subsection, the source must  comply  with  both  the
26             applicable requirements governing the change and the
27             proposed  permit  terms and conditions.  During this
28             time period, the source need  not  comply  with  the
29             existing  permit  terms  and  conditions it seeks to
30             modify.  If the source  fails  to  comply  with  its
31             proposed  permit  terms  and  conditions during this
32             time  period,  the   existing   permit   terms   and
33             conditions  which it seeks to modify may be enforced
34             against it.

 1                  vii.  The permit shield under subparagraph 7(j)
 2             of this Section  may  not  extend  to  minor  permit
 3             modifications.
 4                  viii.  If  a  construction  permit is required,
 5             pursuant  to  Section  39(a)   of   this   Act   and
 6             regulations  thereunder,  for a change for which the
 7             minor permit modification procedures are applicable,
 8             the source may request that the  processing  of  the
 9             construction permit application be consolidated with
10             the  processing  of  the  application  for the minor
11             permit modification.  In such cases, the  provisions
12             of  this Section, including those within subsections
13             5, 8, and 9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on
14             such applications pursuant to subparagraph 14(a)(v).
15             The source may make the proposed change  immediately
16             after  filing  its  application for the minor permit
17             modification.  Nothing in  this  subparagraph  shall
18             otherwise  affect  the  requirements  and procedures
19             applicable to construction permits.
20             b.  Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications.
21                  i.  Where requested by an applicant within  its
22             application,  the  Agency  shall process groups of a
23             source's  applications  for  certain   modifications
24             eligible  for   minor permit modification processing
25             in accordance with the provisions of this  paragraph
26             (b).
27                  ii.  Permit  modifications  may be processed in
28             accordance with the procedures for group processing,
29             for those modifications:
30                       A.  Which  meet  the  criteria  for  minor
31                  permit    modification     procedures     under
32                  subparagraph 14(a)(i) of this Section; and
33                       B.  That collectively are below 10 percent
34                  of  the emissions allowed by the permit for the
 
                            -57-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1                  emissions unit for which change  is  requested,
 2                  20  percent  of  the  applicable  definition of
 3                  major source set forth in subsection 2 of  this
 4                  Section,  or  5  tons  per  year,  whichever is
 5                  least.
 6                  iii.  An applicant requesting the use of  group
 7             processing procedures shall meet the requirements of
 8             subsection  5  of this Section and shall include the
 9             following in its application:
10                       A.  A  description  of  the  change,   the
11                  emissions  resulting  from  the change, and any
12                  new applicable requirements that will apply  if
13                  the change occurs.
14                       B.  The source's suggested draft permit.
15                       C.  Certification    by    a   responsible
16                  official consistent with paragraph 5(e) of this
17                  Section, that the proposed  modification  meets
18                  the   criteria  for  use  of  group  processing
19                  procedures and a request that  such  procedures
20                  be used.
21                       D.  A  list  of the source's other pending
22                  applications awaiting group processing,  and  a
23                  determination    of   whether   the   requested
24                  modification,  aggregated  with   these   other
25                  applications,  equals  or exceeds the threshold
26                  set  under  subparagraph  (b)(ii)(B)  of   this
27                  subsection.
28                       E.  Certification,     consistent     with
29                  paragraph  5(e),  that  the source has notified
30                  USEPA  of  the  proposed  modification.    Such
31                  notification   need   only   contain   a  brief
32                  description of the requested modification.
33                       F.  Completed forms for the Agency to  use
34                  to notify USEPA and affected states as required
 
                            -58-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1                  under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
 2                  iv.  On  a quarterly basis or within 5 business
 3             days of receipt of an application demonstrating that
 4             the aggregate of  a  source's  pending  applications
 5             equals  or  exceeds  the  threshold  level set forth
 6             within subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) of  this  subsection,
 7             whichever  is  earlier,  the  Agency  shall promptly
 8             notify USEPA and affected States  of  the  requested
 9             permit  modifications in accordance with subsections

13                  v.  The  provisions  of  subparagraph (a)(v) of
14             this  subsection  shall   apply   to   modifications
15             eligible  for  group  processing,  except  that  the
16             Agency  shall  take  one of the actions specified in
17             subparagraphs (a)(v)(A) through  (a)(v)(D)  of  this
18             subsection   within  180  days  of  receipt  of  the

23             this  subsection  shall  apply  to modifications for
24             group processing.
25                  vii.  The provisions of paragraph 7(j) of  this
26             Section  shall  not  apply to modifications eligible
27             for group processing.
28             c.  Significant Permit Modifications.
29                  i.  Significant modification  procedures  shall
30             be  used  for  applications  requesting  significant
31             permit modifications and for those applications that
32             do  not qualify as either minor permit modifications
33             or as administrative permit amendments.
34                  ii.  Every  significant  change   in   existing
 
                            -59-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             monitoring  permit  terms  or  conditions  and every
 2             relaxation    of    reporting    or    recordkeeping
 3             requirements shall  be  considered  significant.   A
 4             modification shall also be considered significant if
 5             in   the   judgment  of  the  Agency  action  on  an
 6             application for modification would require decisions
 7             to be made on technically  complex  issues.  Nothing
 8             herein  shall be construed to preclude the permittee
 9             from making changes  consistent  with  this  Section
10             that  would  render existing permit compliance terms
11             and conditions irrelevant.
12                  iii.  Significant  permit  modifications   must
13             meet all the requirements of this Section, including
14             those   for   applications  (including  completeness
15             review), public participation,  review  by  affected
16             States,  and  review  by USEPA applicable to initial
17             permit issuance  and  permit  renewal.   The  Agency
18             shall   take  final  action  on  significant  permit
19             modifications within 9 months  after  receipt  of  a
20             complete application.
21             d.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
22        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
23        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
24        necessary, to implement this subsection.

25        15.  Reopenings for Cause by the Agency.
26             a.  Each   issued   CAAPP   permit   shall   include
27        provisions specifying  the  conditions  under  which  the
28        permit  will  be  reopened prior to the expiration of the
29        permit.  Such revisions shall be made as expeditiously as
30        practicable.   A  CAAPP  permit  shall  be  reopened  and
31        revised under any  of  the  following  circumstances,  in
32        accordance with procedures adopted by the Agency:
33                  i.  Additional requirements under the Clean Air
34             Act  become  applicable  to a major CAAPP source for
 
                            -60-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             which 3 or more years remain on the original term of
 2             the permit.  Such a reopening shall be completed not
 3             later than 18 months after the promulgation  of  the
 4             applicable   requirement.    No   such  revision  is
 5             required if the effective date of the requirement is
 6             later than the date on which the permit  is  due  to
 7             expire.
 8                  ii.  Additional  requirements (including excess
 9             emissions  requirements)  become  applicable  to  an
10             affected source for acid deposition under  the  acid
11             rain  program.   Excess emissions offset plans shall
12             be deemed to be incorporated into  the  permit  upon
13             approval by USEPA.
14                  iii.  The  Agency  or USEPA determines that the
15             permit  contains  a   material   mistake   or   that
16             inaccurate  statements were made in establishing the
17             emissions standards, limitations, or other terms  or
18             conditions of the permit.
19                  iv.  The  Agency  or  USEPA determines that the
20             permit  must  be  revised  or  revoked   to   assure
21             compliance with the applicable  requirements.
22             b.  In  the  event  that  the Agency determines that
23        there are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause,
24        consistent with paragraph a of this subsection, it  shall
25        file  a petition before the Board setting forth the basis
26        for such revocation.  In any such proceeding, the  Agency
27        shall  have  the  burden  of establishing that the permit
28        should be revoked under the standards set forth  in  this
29        Act  and the Clean Air Act.  Any such proceeding shall be
30        conducted  pursuant  to  the   Board's   procedures   for
31        adjudicatory  hearings  and  the  Board  shall render its
32        decision within 120 days of the filing of  the  petition.
33        The  Agency shall take final action to revoke and reissue
34        a CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order.
 
                            -61-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             c.  Proceedings regarding a  reopened  CAAPP  permit
 2        shall  follow  the  same  procedures  as apply to initial
 3        permit issuance and shall affect only those parts of  the
 4        permit for which cause to reopen exists.
 5             d.  Reopenings   under   paragraph   (a)   of   this
 6        subsection shall not be initiated before a notice of such
 7        intent  is  provided to the CAAPP source by the Agency at
 8        least 30 days in advance of the date that the  permit  is
 9        to  be  reopened,  except  that  the Agency may provide a
10        shorter time period in the case of an emergency.
11             e.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
12        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
13        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
14        necessary, to implement this subsection.

15        16.  Reopenings for Cause by USEPA.
16             a.  When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate,
17        modify,  or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant to
18        subsection 15 of this Section,  and  thereafter  notifies
19        the  Agency and the permittee of such finding in writing,
20        the Agency shall forward to USEPA  and  the  permittee  a
21        proposed  determination  of termination, modification, or
22        revocation and reissuance as appropriate,  in  accordance
23        with   paragraph  b  of  this  subsection.  The  Agency's
24        proposed determination shall be in  accordance  with  the
25        record,   the  Clean  Air  Act,  regulations  promulgated
26        thereunder,  this   Act   and   regulations   promulgated
27        thereunder.  Such proposed determination shall not affect
28        the permit  or  constitute  a  final  permit  action  for
29        purposes  of  this  Act or the Administrative Review Law.
30        The  Agency  shall  forward  to   USEPA   such   proposed
31        determination   within  90  days  after  receipt  of  the
32        notification from USEPA. If additional time is  necessary
33        to  submit  the  proposed determination, the Agency shall
34        request a 90-day extension from USEPA  and  shall  submit
 
                            -62-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        the  proposed determination within 180 days of receipt of
 2        notification from USEPA.
 3                  b. i.  Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA
 4             of a proposed determination to terminate  or  revoke
 5             and  reissue  the  permit,  the  Agency shall file a
 6             petition before  the  Board  setting  forth  USEPA's
 7             objection,  the permit record, the Agency's proposed
 8             determination,  and  the   justification   for   its
 9             proposed  determination.  The  Board shall conduct a
10             hearing pursuant to the rules prescribed by  Section
11             32  of this Act, and the burden of proof shall be on
12             the Agency.
13                  ii.  After due consideration of the written and
14             oral statements, the testimony  and  arguments  that
15             shall be submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue
16             and   enter   an  interim  order  for  the  proposed
17             determination, which shall set forth all changes, if
18             any,   required    in    the    Agency's    proposed
19             determination.  The  interim order shall comply with
20             the requirements for final orders as  set  forth  in
21             Section 33 of this Act. Issuance of an interim order
22             by  the  Board  under this paragraph, however, shall
23             not affect the permit status and does not constitute
24             a final action for  purposes  of  this  Act  or  the
25             Administrative Review Law.
26                  iii.  The  Board  shall  cause  a  copy  of its
27             interim order to be served upon all parties  to  the
28             proceeding  as  well as upon USEPA. The Agency shall
29             submit  the  proposed  determination  to  USEPA   in
30             accordance with the Board's Interim Order within 180
31             days after receipt of the notification from USEPA.
32             c.  USEPA shall review the proposed determination to
33        terminate, modify,  or  revoke  and  reissue  the  permit
34        within 90 days of receipt.
 
                            -63-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1                  i.  When    USEPA    reviews    the    proposed
 2             determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
 3             does  not  object, the Board shall, within 7 days of
 4             receipt of USEPA's final approval, enter the interim
 5             order as a final  order.  The  final  order  may  be
 6             appealed  as  provided  by Title XI of this Act. The
 7             Agency shall take final action  in  accordance  with
 8             the Board's final order.
 9                  ii.  When    USEPA    reviews   such   proposed
10             determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
11             objects, the Agency shall submit  USEPA's  objection
12             and  the Agency's comments and recommendation on the
13             objection to the  Board  and  permittee.  The  Board
14             shall  review  its  interim  order  in  response  to
15             USEPA's  objection  and  the  Agency's  comments and
16             recommendation and issue a final order in accordance
17             with Sections 32 and 33  of  this  Act.  The  Agency
18             shall,   within   90  days  after  receipt  of  such
19             objection,   respond   to   USEPA's   objection   in
20             accordance with the Board's final order.
21                  iii.  When   USEPA   reviews   such    proposed
22             determination  to  modify  and  objects,  the Agency
23             shall,  within  90  days  after   receipt   of   the
24             objection,  resolve  the  objection  and  modify the
25             permit in accordance with USEPA's  objection,  based
26             upon  the  record,  the  Clean  Air Act, regulations
27             promulgated thereunder, this  Act,  and  regulations
28             promulgated thereunder.
29             d.  If  the  Agency  fails  to  submit  the proposed
30        determination pursuant to paragraph a of this  subsection
31        or  fails  to  resolve  any  USEPA  objection pursuant to
32        paragraph c of this  subsection,  USEPA  will  terminate,
33        modify, or revoke and reissue the permit.
34             e.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
 
                            -64-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
 2        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
 3        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 4        17.  Title IV; Acid Rain Provisions.
 5             a.  The  Agency   shall   act   on   initial   CAAPP
 6        applications  for affected sources for acid deposition in
 7        accordance with this Section and Title V of the Clean Air
 8        Act and regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  except  as
 9        modified by Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations
10        promulgated  thereunder.   The Agency shall issue initial
11        CAAPP permits to the affected sources for acid deposition
12        which shall become effective no earlier than  January  1,
13        1995,  and which shall terminate on December 31, 1999, in
14        accordance with this Section.  Subsequent  CAAPP  permits
15        issued  to  affected sources for acid deposition shall be
16        issued for a fixed term of 5 years. Title IV of the Clean
17        Air Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, including
18        but not limited to 40 C.F.R. Part 72, as now or hereafter
19        amended, are applicable to  and  enforceable  under  this
20        Act.
21             b.  A   designated  representative  of  an  affected
22        source for acid deposition  shall  submit  a  timely  and
23        complete  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  application  and
24        compliance  plan to the Agency, not later than January 1,
25        1996, that meets the requirements of Titles IV and  V  of
26        the  Clean  Air Act and regulations. The Agency shall act
27        on  the  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  application   and
28        compliance plan in accordance with this Section and Title
29        V  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and  regulations promulgated
30        thereunder, except as modified by Title IV of  the  Clean
31        Air  Act  and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.  The
32        Agency  shall  issue  the Phase II acid rain permit to an
33        affected  source  for  acid  deposition  no  later   than
34        December  31,  1997,  which  shall  become  effective  on
 
                            -65-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        January  1, 2000, in accordance with this Section, except
 2        as modified  by  Title  IV  and  regulations  promulgated
 3        thereunder;  provided  that the designated representative
 4        of the source submitted a timely and  complete  Phase  II
 5        permit application and compliance plan to the Agency that
 6        meets the requirements of Title IV and V of the Clean Air
 7        Act and regulations.
 8             c.  Each   Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  issued  in
 9        accordance with this subsection shall have a  fixed  term
10        of  5 years. Except as provided in paragraph b above, the
11        Agency shall issue or deny a Phase II  acid  rain  permit
12        within  18 months of receiving a complete Phase II permit
13        application and compliance plan.
14             d.  A designated representative of a  new  unit,  as
15        defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, shall submit
16        a   timely   and  complete  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit
17        application  and   compliance   plan   that   meets   the
18        requirements  of Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act and
19        its regulations. The Agency shall act on the  new  unit's
20        Phase II acid rain permit application and compliance plan
21        in  accordance with this Section and Title V of the Clean
22        Air Act and its regulations, except as modified by  Title
23        IV  of  the Clean Air Act and its regulations. The Agency
24        shall reopen the new unit's CAAPP  permit  for  cause  to
25        incorporate  the  approved  Phase  II acid rain permit in
26        accordance with this Section.  The  Phase  II  acid  rain
27        permit  for  the new unit shall become effective no later
28        than the date required under Title IV of  the  Clean  Air
29        Act and its regulations.
30             e.  A   designated  representative  of  an  affected
31        source for acid deposition  shall  submit  a  timely  and
32        complete  Title  IV NOx permit application to the Agency,
33        not  later  than  January  1,  1998,   that   meets   the
34        requirements  of Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act and
 
                            -66-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        its regulations. The Agency shall  reopen  the  Phase  II
 2        acid  rain  permit for cause and incorporate the approved
 3        NOx provisions into the Phase II  acid  rain  permit  not
 4        later  than  January  1,  1999,  in  accordance with this
 5        Section, except as modified by Title IV of the Clean  Air
 6        Act   and   regulations   promulgated   thereunder.  Such
 7        reopening shall not affect the term of the Phase II  acid
 8        rain permit.
 9             f.  The  designated  representative  of the affected
10        source for acid deposition shall renew the initial  CAAPP
11        permit  and  Phase II acid rain permit in accordance with
12        this Section and  Title  V  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and
13        regulations promulgated thereunder, except as modified by
14        Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations promulgated
15        thereunder.
16             g.  In  the  case  of  an  affected  source for acid
17        deposition for which a complete Phase II acid rain permit
18        application and compliance plan are timely received under
19        this subsection,  the  complete  permit  application  and
20        compliance  plan,  including amendments thereto, shall be
21        binding   on   the   owner,   operator   and   designated
22        representative, all affected units for acid deposition at
23        the affected source, and any other unit,  as  defined  in
24        Section  402  of the Clean Air Act, governed by the Phase
25        II acid rain permit application and shall be  enforceable
26        as an acid rain permit for purposes of Titles IV and V of
27        the  Clean  Air  Act,  from the date of submission of the
28        acid rain permit application until a Phase II  acid  rain
29        permit is issued or denied by the Agency.
30             h.  The  Agency  shall  not include or implement any
31        measure  which  would  interfere  with  or   modify   the
32        requirements  of  Title  IV  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  or
33        regulations promulgated thereunder.
34             i.  Nothing  in  this  Section shall be construed as
 
                            -67-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        affecting allowances or  USEPA's  decision  regarding  an
 2        excess emissions offset plan, as set forth in Title IV of
 3        the Clean Air Act or regulations promulgated thereunder.
 4                  i.  No  permit  revision  shall be required for
 5             increases  in  emissions  that  are  authorized   by
 6             allowances   acquired  pursuant  to  the  acid  rain
 7             program, provided that such increases do not require
 8             a  permit  revision  under  any   other   applicable
 9             requirement.
10                  ii.  No  limit shall be placed on the number of
11             allowances held by the source.  The source may  not,
12             however,    use   allowances   as   a   defense   to
13             noncompliance with any other applicable requirement.
14                  iii.  Any such allowance shall be accounted for
15             according   to   the   procedures   established   in
16             regulations promulgated under Title IV of the  Clean
17             Air Act.
18             j.  To  the  extent  that  the  federal  regulations
19        promulgated  under Title IV, including but not limited to
20        40 C.F.R. Part 72,  as  now  or  hereafter  amended,  are
21        inconsistent  with  the  federal  regulations promulgated
22        under Title V, the federal regulations promulgated  under
23        Title IV shall take precedence.
24             k.  The  USEPA may intervene as a matter of right in
25        any permit appeal involving a Phase II acid  rain  permit
26        provision or denial of a Phase II acid rain permit.
27             l.  It  is  unlawful  for  any  owner or operator to
28        violate any terms or conditions of a Phase II  acid  rain
29        permit  issued  under  this  subsection,  to  operate any
30        affected source for acid deposition except in  compliance
31        with  a  Phase  II  acid rain permit issued by the Agency
32        under this subsection, or to violate any other applicable
33        requirements.
34             m.  The designated  representative  of  an  affected
 
                            -68-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        source for acid deposition shall submit to the Agency the
 2        data   and  information  submitted  quarterly  to  USEPA,
 3        pursuant  to  40  CFR  75.64,   concurrently   with   the
 4        submission  to USEPA. The submission shall be in the same
 5        electronic format as specified by USEPA.
 6             n.  The  Agency  shall  act  on  any  petition   for
 7        exemption  of  a new unit or retired unit, as those terms
 8        are defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, from the
 9        requirements of the acid rain program in accordance  with
10        Title IV of the Clean Air Act and its regulations.
11             o.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
12        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
13        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
14        necessary to implement this subsection.

15        18.  Fee Provisions.
16             a.  For each 12 month period after the date on which
17        the USEPA approves or conditionally approves  the  CAAPP,
18        but  in  no  event  prior  to  January  1, 1994, a source
19        subject to this Section or excluded under subsection  1.1
20        or  paragraph  3(c)  of  this Section, shall pay a fee as
21        provided  in  this  part  (a)  of  this  subsection   18.
22        However,  a  source  that  has  been  excluded  from  the
23        provisions  of  this  Section  under  subsection  1.1  or
24        paragraph  3(c)  of this Section because the source emits
25        less  than  25  tons  per  year  of  any  combination  of
26        regulated air pollutants shall  pay  fees  in  accordance
27        with paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 9.6.
28                  i.  The  fee  for a source allowed to emit less
29             than  100  tons  per  year  of  any  combination  of
30             regulated air pollutants shall be $1,000 per year.
31                  ii.  The fee for a source allowed to  emit  100
32             tons   or  more  per  year  of  any  combination  of
33             regulated air pollutants, except for those regulated
34             air pollutants excluded in paragraph 18(f)  of  this
 
                            -69-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             subsection, shall be as follows:
 2                       A.  The  Agency shall assess an annual fee
 3                  of $13.50 per ton for the  allowable  emissions
 4                  of  all regulated air pollutants at that source
 5                  during the term  of  the  permit.   These  fees
 6                  shall  be  used  by the Agency and the Board to
 7                  fund the activities required by Title V of  the
 8                  Clean  Air Act including such activities as may
 9                  be carried out by other State or local agencies
10                  pursuant to paragraph (d) of  this  subsection.
11                  The  amount  of  such fee shall be based on the
12                  information supplied by the  applicant  in  its
13                  complete  CAAPP  permit  application  or in the
14                  CAAPP permit if the permit has been granted and
15                  shall be determined by the amount of  emissions
16                  that  the  source  is allowed to emit annually,
17                  provided  however,  that  no  source  shall  be
18                  required to pay an  annual  fee  in  excess  of
19                  $100,000.   The Agency shall provide as part of
20                  the  permit  application  form  required  under
21                  subsection 5 of this  Section  a  separate  fee
22                  calculation form which will allow the applicant
23                  to   identify   the   allowable  emissions  and
24                  calculate the fee for the term of  the  permit.
25                  In  no  event shall the Agency raise the amount
26                  of  allowable  emissions   requested   by   the
27                  applicant unless such increases are required to
28                  demonstrate  compliance  with  terms of a CAAPP
29                  permit.
30                       Notwithstanding the above,  any  applicant
31                  may  seek  a  change  in its permit which would
32                  result in increases in allowable emissions  due
33                  to  an  increase  in  the hours of operation or
34                  production rates of an emission unit  or  units
 
                            -70-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1                  and  such a change shall be consistent with the
 2                  construction   permit   requirements   of   the
 3                  existing State permit  program,  under  Section
 4                  39(a)  of this Act and applicable provisions of
 5                  this Section.  Where a construction  permit  is
 6                  required,  the Agency shall expeditiously grant
 7                  such  construction   permit   and   shall,   if
 8                  necessary, modify the CAAPP permit based on the
 9                  same application.
10                       B.  Except  for  the  first  year  of  the
11                  CAAPP,  the  applicant or permittee may pay the
12                  fee annually or  semiannually  for  those  fees
13                  greater than $5,000.
14             b.  For  fiscal  year  1999  and  each  fiscal  year
15        thereafter,  to the extent that permit fees collected and
16        deposited in the CAA Permit Fund during that fiscal  year
17        exceed  115% of the actual expenditures (excluding permit
18        fee reimbursements) from the CAA  Permit  Fund  for  that
19        fiscal   year   (including   lapse  period  spending  and
20        appropriations   for   expenses   incurred   under    the
21        Northeastern Illinois Nonattainment Area Planning Council
22        Act), the excess shall be reimbursed to the permittees in
23        proportion   to   their   original  fee  payments.   Such
24        reimbursements shall be made during the next fiscal  year
25        and  may  be  made  in  the form of a credit against that
26        fiscal year's permit fee.
27             c.  There shall be created a  CAA  Fee  Panel  of  5
28        persons.  The Panel shall:
29                  i.  If  it  deems necessary on an annual basis,
30             render advisory  opinions  to  the  Agency  and  the
31             General  Assembly regarding the appropriate level of
32             Title V Clean Air Act fees for the next fiscal year.
33             Such advisory opinions shall be based on a study  of
34             the  operations  of  the Agency and any other entity
 
                            -71-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1             requesting appropriations from the CAA Permit Fund.
 2             This  study  shall  recommend  changes  in  the  fee
 3             structure, if warranted.  The study will be based on
 4             the  ability  of  the  Agency  or  other  entity  to
 5             effectively utilize the funds generated as  well  as
 6             the  entity's  conformance  with  the objectives and
 7             measurable benchmarks identified by  the  Agency  as
 8             justification   for  the  prior  year's  fee.   Such
 9             advisory  opinions  shall  be   submitted   to   the
10             appropriation committees no later than April 15th of
11             each year.
12                  ii.  Not be compensated for their services, but
13             shall receive reimbursement for their expenses.
14                  iii.  Be  appointed  as  follows:  4 members by
15             the Director of the Agency from a list  of  no  more
16             than  8  persons,  submitted  by  representatives of
17             associations who represent facilities subject to the
18             provisions of this subsection and  the  Director  of
19             the Agency or designee.
20             d.  There  is hereby created in the State Treasury a
21        special fund to be known as the "CAA Permit  Fund".   All
22        Funds collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection
23        shall  be  deposited into the Fund.  The General Assembly
24        shall appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and
25        to the Board to carry out their  obligations  under  this
26        Section.   The General Assembly may also authorize monies
27        to be granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State
28        and local agencies which perform duties  related  to  the
29        CAAPP. Interest generated on the monies deposited in this
30        Fund  shall be returned to the Fund. The General Assembly
31        may appropriate up to the sum of $25,000  to  the  Agency
32        from the CAA Permit Fund for use by the Panel in carrying
33        out its responsibilities under this subsection.
34             e.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
 
                            -72-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
 2        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
 3        necessary to implement this subsection.
 4             f.  For  purposes  of  this  subsection,  the   term
 5        "regulated air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to
 6        it  under  subsection 1 of this Section but shall exclude
 7        the following:
 8                  i.  carbon monoxide;
 9                  ii.  any Class I or II  substance  which  is  a
10             regulated  air pollutant solely because it is listed
11             pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act;
12                  iii.  any pollutant that  is  a  regulated  air
13             pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard
14             or  regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air
15             Act based on the emissions  allowed  in  the  permit
16             effective  in  that  calendar  year, at the time the
17             applicable bill is generated; and
18                  iv.  during  the  years   1995   through   1999
19             inclusive,  any  emissions from affected sources for
20             acid deposition under Section 408(c)(4) of the Clean
21             Air Act.

22        19.  Air Toxics Provisions.
23             a.  In the event that the USEPA fails to  promulgate
24        in  a timely manner a standard pursuant to Section 112(d)
25        of the Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority
26        to issue permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean
27        Air Act and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  which
28        contain  emission limitations which are equivalent to the
29        emission limitations that would apply to a source  if  an
30        emission standard had been promulgated in a timely manner
31        by  USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d).  Provided, however,
32        that the owner or operator of a  source  shall  have  the
33        opportunity  to  submit to the Agency a proposed emission
34        limitation which it determines to be  equivalent  to  the
 
                            -73-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        emission  limitations  that would apply to such source if
 2        an emission standard had been  promulgated  in  a  timely
 3        manner  by  USEPA.   If the Agency refuses to include the
 4        emission limitation proposed by the owner or operator  in
 5        a  CAAPP  permit,  the owner or operator may petition the
 6        Board  to  establish  whether  the  emission   limitation
 7        proposal  submitted by the owner or operator provides for
 8        emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission
 9        limitations  that  would  apply  to  the  source  if  the
10        emission standard had been  promulgated  by  USEPA  in  a
11        timely  manner.   The  Board  shall determine whether the
12        emission limitation proposed by the owner or operator  or
13        an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
14        provides  for the level of control required under Section
15        112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall otherwise establish an
16        appropriate emission limitation, pursuant to Section  112
17        of the Clean Air Act.
18             b.  Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a)
19        or (e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to
20        the  Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and the
21        Board shall render its decision within 120  days  of  the
22        filing  of  the  petition.   Any  such  decision shall be
23        subject to review  pursuant to Section 41  of  this  Act.
24        Where  USEPA  promulgates an applicable emission standard
25        prior to the issuance of the  CAAPP  permit,  the  Agency
26        shall  include  in  the  permit the promulgated standard,
27        provided that the source shall have the compliance period
28        provided under Section 112(i) of the Clean Air Act. Where
29        USEPA promulgates an applicable  standard  subsequent  to
30        the issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall revise
31        such   permit  upon  the  next  renewal  to  reflect  the
32        promulgated standard, providing a reasonable time for the
33        applicable source to comply with  the  standard,  but  no
34        longer than 8 years after the date on which the source is
 
                            -74-               LRB9206666LBgc
 1        first  required  to  comply with the emissions limitation
 2        established under this subsection.
 3             c.  The Agency shall have the authority to implement
 4        and  enforce  complete  or  partial  emission   standards
 5        promulgated  by  USEPA  pursuant  to  Section 112(d), and
 6        standards  promulgated  by  USEPA  pursuant  to  Sections
 7        112(f),  112(h),  112(m),  and  112(n),  and  may  accept
 8        delegation of  authority  from  USEPA  to  implement  and
 9        enforce   Section   112(l)   and   requirements  for  the
10        prevention and detection of accidental releases  pursuant
11        to Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.
12             d.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to issue
13        permits pursuant to Section 112(i)(5) of  the  Clean  Air
14        Act.
15             e.  The   Agency  has  the  authority  to  implement
16        Section 112(g) of the Clean Air Act consistent  with  the
17        Clean   Air   Act  and  federal  regulations  promulgated
18        thereunder. If the Agency refuses to include the emission
19        limitations proposed in an application  submitted  by  an
20        owner  or  operator for a case-by-case maximum achievable
21        control technology (MACT)  determination,  the  owner  or
22        operator  may petition the Board to determine whether the
23        emission limitation proposed by the owner or operator  or
24        an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
25        provides  for  a level of control required by Section 112
26        of the Clean  Air  Act,  or  to  otherwise  establish  an
27        appropriate  emission limitation under Section 112 of the
28        Clean Air Act.

29        20.  Small Business.
30             a.  For purposes of this subsection:
31             "Program" is the Small  Business  Stationary  Source
32        Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Program
33        created  within this State pursuant to Section 507 of the
34        Clean Air Act and  guidance  promulgated  thereunder,  to
