15    Section 110. The Illinois Pesticide Act is amended by
16changing Sections 19.3 and 22.2 as follows:
 
17    (415 ILCS 60/19.3)
18    Sec. 19.3. Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program.
19    (a) It is the policy of the State of Illinois that an
20Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program be implemented
21to reduce potential agrichemical pollution and minimize
22environmental degradation risk potential at these sites. In
23this Section, "agrichemical facility" means a site where
24agrichemicals are stored or handled, or both, in preparation

 

 

09800SB3443ham002- 65 -LRB098 15945 HLH 59800 a

1for end use. "Agrichemical facility" does not include basic
2manufacturing or central distribution sites utilized only for
3wholesale purposes. As used in this Section, "agrichemical"
4means pesticides or commercial fertilizers at an agrichemical
5facility.
6    The program shall provide guidance for assessing the threat
7of soil agrichemical contaminants to groundwater and
8recommending which sites need to establish a voluntary
9corrective action program.
10    The program shall establish appropriate site-specific soil
11cleanup objectives, which shall be based on the potential for
12the agrichemical contaminants to move from the soil to
13groundwater and the potential of the specific soil agrichemical
14contaminants to cause an exceedence of a Class I or Class III
15groundwater quality standard or a health advisory level. The
16Department shall use the information found and procedures
17developed in the Agrichemical Facility Site Contamination
18Study or other appropriate physical evidence to establish the
19soil agrichemical contaminant levels of concern to groundwater
20in the various hydrological settings to establish
21site-specific cleanup objectives.
22    No remediation of a site may be recommended unless (i) the
23agrichemical contamination level in the soil exceeds the
24site-specific cleanup objectives or (ii) the agrichemical
25contaminant level in the soil exceeds levels where physical
26evidence and risk evaluation indicates probability of the site

 

 

09800SB3443ham002- 66 -LRB098 15945 HLH 59800 a

1causing an exceedence of a groundwater quality standard.
2    When a remediation plan must be carried out over a number
3of years due to limited financial resources of the owner or
4operator of the agrichemical facility, those soil agrichemical
5contaminated areas that have the greatest potential to
6adversely impact vulnerable Class I groundwater aquifers and
7adjacent potable water wells shall receive the highest priority
8rating and be remediated first.
9    (b) (Blank). The Agrichemical Facility Response Action
10Program Board ("the Board") is created. The Board members shall
11consist of the following:
12        (1) The Director or the Director's designee.

24recommendations made by the associations whose membership
25reflects those specific areas of interest. The members of the
26Board shall be appointed within 90 days after the effective

5shall be reimbursed for their expenses incurred in performing
6their duties. If a civil proceeding is commenced against a
7Board member arising out of an act or omission occurring within
8the scope of the Board member's performance of his or her
9duties under this Section, the State, as provided by rule,
10shall indemnify the Board member for any damages awarded and
11court costs and attorney's fees assessed as part of a final and
12unreversed judgement, or shall pay the judgment, unless the
13court or jury finds that the conduct or inaction that gave rise
14to the claim or cause of action was intentional, wilful or
15wanton misconduct and was not intended to serve or benefit
16interests of the State.
17    The chairperson of the Board shall be selected by the Board
18from among the public members.
19    (c) (Blank). The Board has the authority to do the

1    may find necessary.
2        (9) Coordinate preventive response actions at
3    agrichemical facilities pursuant to the Groundwater
4    Quality Standards adopted pursuant to Section 8 of the
5    Illinois Groundwater Protection Act to mitigate resource
6    groundwater impairment.
7    Upon completion of the corrective action plan and upon
8recommendation of the Board, the Department shall issue a
9notice of closure stating that site-specific cleanup
10objectives have been met and no further remedial action is
11required to remedy the past agrichemical contamination.
12    When a soil agrichemical contaminant assessment confirms
13that remedial action is not required in accordance with the
14Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program and upon the
15recommendation of the Board, a notice of closure shall be
16issued by the Department stating that no further remedial
17action is required to remedy the past agrichemical
18contamination.
19    (e) Upon receipt of notification of an agrichemical
20contaminant in groundwater pursuant to the Groundwater Quality
21Standards, the Department shall evaluate the severity of the
22agrichemical contamination and shall submit to the

8    Act.
9    (f) When agrichemical contamination is characterized as in
10subsection subdivision (e)(1) of this Section, a facility may
11elect to participate in the Agrichemical Facility Response
12Action Program. In these instances, the scope of the corrective
13action plans developed, approved, and completed under this
