3    8. In consultation with the Interagency Committee, the
4Department shall develop, and the Interagency Committee shall
5approve, procedures, methods, and guidelines for addressing
6agrichemical pesticide contamination at agrichemical
7facilities in Illinois. In developing those procedures,
8methods, and guidelines, the following shall be considered and
9addressed: (1) an evaluation and assessment of site conditions
10and operational practices at agrichemical facilities where
11agricultural pesticides are handled; (2) what constitutes
12pesticide contamination; (3) cost effective procedures for
13site assessments and technologies for remedial action; and (4)
14achievement of adequate protection of public health and the
15environment from such actual or potential hazards. In
16consultation with the Interagency Committee, the Department
17shall develop, and the Interagency Committee shall approve,
18guidelines and recommendations regarding long term financial
19resources which may be necessary to remediate pesticide
20contamination at agrichemical facilities in Illinois. The
21Department, in consultation with the Interagency Committee,
22shall present a report on those guidelines and recommendations
23to the Governor and the General Assembly on or before January
241, 1993. The Department and the Interagency Committee shall

1    9. As part of the consideration of cost effective
2technologies pursuant to subsection 8 of this Section, the
3Department may, upon request, provide a written authorization
4to the owner or operator of an agrichemical facility for land
5application of agrichemical contaminated soils at agronomic
6rates. As used in this Section, "agrichemical" means
7pesticides or commercial fertilizers, at an agrichemical
8facility, in transit from an agrichemical facility to the
9field of application, or at the field of application. The
10written authorization may also provide for use of groundwater
11contaminated by the release of an agrichemical, provided that
12the groundwater is not also contaminated due to the release of
13a petroleum product or hazardous substance other than an
14agrichemical. The uses of agrichemical contaminated
15groundwater authorized by the Department shall be limited to
16supervised application or irrigation onto farmland and
17blending as make-up water in the preparation of agrichemical
18spray solutions that are to be applied to farmland. In either
19case, the use of the agrichemical contaminated water shall not
20cause (i) the total annual application amounts of a pesticide
21to exceed the respective pesticide label application rate on
22any authorized sites or (ii) the total annual application
23amounts of a fertilizer to exceed the generally accepted
24annual application rate on any authorized sites. All
25authorizations shall prescribe appropriate operational control
26practices to protect the site of application and shall

 

 

HB3086 Enrolled- 22 -LRB103 27395 CPF 53767 b

1identify each site or sites where land application or
2irrigation take place. Where agrichemical contaminated
3groundwater is used on farmland, the prescribed practices
4shall be designed to prevent off-site runoff or conveyance
5through underground tile systems. The Department shall
6periodically advise the Interagency Committee regarding the
7issuance of such authorizations and the status of compliance
8at the application sites.

5renewal application. All moneys collected pursuant to this
6Section shall be deposited into the Pesticide Control Fund.
7    (b) No later than January 1, 1993, containment areas shall
8be in use in any facility as defined in this Act and no wash
9water or rinsates may be released into the environment except

11include the following requirements:
12        (1) The containment area shall be constructed of
13    concrete, asphalt or other impervious materials which

15    pans and synthetic membrane liners. All containment area
16    materials shall be compatible with the lawncare products
17    to be contained.
18        (2) The containment area shall be designed to capture
19    spills, washwaters, and rinsates generated in the loading
20    of application devices, the lawncare product-related
21    servicing of vehicles, and the triple rinsing of pesticide
22    containers and to prevent the release of such spills,
23    washwaters, or rinsates to the environment other than as
24    described in paragraph (3) of this subsection (b).
25        (3) Spills, washwaters, and rinsates captured in the

4    federal regulations.
5    (c) The requirements of this Section shall not apply to
6situations constituting an emergency where washing or rinsing

10    (d) The requirements of this Section shall not apply to
11persons subject to the containment requirements of the
12Illinois Pesticide Act or the Illinois Fertilizer Act of 1961
13and any rules or regulations adopted thereunder.
