1    AN ACT concerning regulation.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by
5adding Section 14.7 as follows:
 
6    (415 ILCS 5/14.7 new)
7    Sec. 14.7. Preservation of community water supplies.
8    (a) The Agency shall adopt rules governing certain
9corrosion prevention projects carried out on community water
10supplies. Those rules shall not apply to buried pipelines
11including, but not limited to, pipes, mains, and joints. The
12rules shall exclude routine maintenance activities of
13community water supplies including, but not limited to, the use
14of protective coatings applied by the owner's utility personnel
15during the course of performing routine maintenance
16activities. The activities may include, but not be limited to,
17the painting of fire hydrants; routine over-coat painting of
18interior and exterior building surfaces such as floors, doors,
19windows, and ceilings; and routine touch-up and over-coat
20application of protective coatings typically found on water
21utility pumps, pipes, tanks, and other water treatment plant
22appurtenances and utility owned structures. Those rules shall
23include:

1        (1) standards for ensuring that community water
2    supplies carry out corrosion prevention and mitigation
3    methods according to corrosion prevention industry
4    standards adopted by the Agency;
5        (2) requirements that community water supplies use:
6            (A) protective coatings personnel to carry out
7        corrosion prevention and mitigation methods on exposed
8        water treatment tanks, exposed non-concrete water
9        treatment structures, exposed water treatment pipe
10        galleys; exposed pumps; and generators; the Agency
11        shall not limit to protective coatings personnel any
12        other work relating to prevention and mitigation
13        methods on any other water treatment appurtenances
14        where protective coatings are utilized for corrosion
15        control and prevention to prolong the life of the water
16        utility asset; and
17            (B) inspectors to ensure that best practices and
18        standards are adhered to on each corrosion prevention
19        project; and
20        (3) standards to prevent environmental degradation
21    that might occur as a result of carrying out corrosion
22    prevention and mitigation methods including, but not
23    limited to, standards to prevent the improper handling and
24    containment of hazardous materials, especially lead paint,
25    removed from the exterior of a community water supply.
26    In adopting rules under this subsection (a), the Agency

 

 

SB1281 Enrolled- 3 -LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b

1shall obtain input from corrosion industry experts
2specializing in the training of personnel to carry out
3corrosion prevention and mitigation methods.
4    (b) As used in this Section:
5    "Community water supply" has the meaning ascribed to that
6term in Section 3.145 of this Act.
7    "Corrosion" means a naturally occurring phenomenon
8commonly defined as the deterioration of a metal that results
9from a chemical or electrochemical reaction with its
10environment.
11    "Corrosion prevention and mitigation methods" means:
12        the preparation, application, installation, removal,
13    or general maintenance as necessary of a protective coating
14    system, including any or more of the following:
15            (A) surface preparation and coating application on
16        the exterior or interior of a community water supply;
17        or
18            (B) shop painting of structural steel fabricated
19        for installation as part of a community water supply.
20    "Corrosion prevention project" means carrying out
21corrosion prevention and mitigation methods. "Corrosion
22prevention project" does not include clean-up related to
23surface preparation.
24    (c) This Section shall apply to only those projects
25receiving 100% funding from the State.
26    (d) Any contractors providing services covered by this

1Section shall comply with Section 30-22 of the Illinois
2Procurement Code. The requirements of this Section do not apply
3to an individual licensed under the Professional Engineering
4Practice Act of 1989 or the Structural Engineering Act of 1989.
 
5    Section 10. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by adding
6Section 4-106 as follows:
 
7    (605 ILCS 5/4-106 new)
8    Sec. 4-106. Preservation of bridge infrastructure.
9    (a) The Department may adopt rules governing all corrosion
10prevention projects carried out on eligible bridges. Rules may
11include a process for ensuring that corrosion prevention and
12mitigation methods are carried out according to corrosion
13prevention industry standards adopted by the Department for
14eligible bridges that include:
15        (1) a plan to prevent environmental degradation that
16    could occur as a result of carrying out corrosion
17    prevention and mitigation methods including the careful
18    handling and containment of hazardous materials; and
19        (2) consulting and interacting directly with, for the
20    purpose of utilizing trained personnel specializing in the
21    design and inspection of corrosion prevention and
22    mitigation methods on bridges.
23    (b) As used in this Section:
24    "Corrosion" means a naturally occurring phenomenon
