Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Provides that all National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits authorizing a discharge from a facility designated by the Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a major facility, shall, at a minimum, require for publicly owned treatment works, periodic sampling of influent, effluent, and biosolids for all perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances for which there are accredited wastewater analytical methods and, for all other facilities, periodic effluent sampling for all perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances for which there are accredited wastewater analytical methods. Provides that the Agency shall require any NPDES permit application for a discharge of wastewater that has potential to contain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances to fully characterize the discharge through sample results for all perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances for which there are accredited wastewater analytical methods. Provides that the Agency shall not issue any permit under specified provisions for the land application of a sludge or biosolids unless the application includes sample results for the sludge or biosolids for all perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances for which there are accredited wastewater analytical methods. Provides that any permit issued under specified provisions for the land application of a sludge or biosolids shall require, at minimum, periodic sampling of the sludge or biosolids for all perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances for which there are accredited wastewater analytical methods.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Corrects grammatical errors and makes technical changes.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 6
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill, as amended by Senate Amendment No. 2, with the following changes. Provides that all NPDES Permits authorizing a discharge from a facility designated by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a major facility shall require, at a minimum, for publicly owned treatment works, as well as for privately owned sewage treatment works, specified periodic sampling (rather than shall require, at a minimum, for publicly owned treatment works, specified periodic sampling), and for all other major industrial facilities (rather than all other major facilities), specified periodic effluent sampling. Provides that, if a permittee demonstrates through monitoring data that perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances have not been detected above the minimum level of quantification for a period of 2 consecutive years, the permittee may request a modification of the NPDES permit. Further provides that, if the Agency makes a determination that such a request is acceptable, then the NPDES permit may be modified to reduce sample frequency.
