|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning safety.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by | 5 | | changing Sections 3.535 and 9.4 and by adding Sections 3.201, | 6 | | 3.202, 3.299, 3.336, 3.366, and 3.367 as follows: | 7 | | (415 ILCS 5/3.201 new) | 8 | | Sec. 3.201. Gasification. "Gasification" means a process | 9 | | through which nonrecycled feedstocks are heated and converted | 10 | | into a fuel-gas mixture in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere and | 11 | | the mixture is converted into fuels, including ethanol and | 12 | | transportation fuels, chemicals, or other chemical feedstocks. | 13 | | "Gasification" is not waste incineration or waste treatment. | 14 | | (415 ILCS 5/3.202 new) | 15 | | Sec. 3.202. Gasification facility. "Gasification facility" | 16 | | means a manufacturing facility that: (1) receives, separates, | 17 | | stores and converts post-use polymers and nonrecycled | 18 | | feedstocks using gasification; and (2) only receives materials | 19 | | that have been source separated off-site at least once before | 20 | | being received at the gasification facility. A "gasification | 21 | | facility" is not a pollution control facility, a solid waste | 22 | | treatment facility, or a solid waste incineration facility. |

|
| 1 | | (415 ILCS 5/9.4) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1009.4)
| 2 | | Sec. 9.4. Municipal waste incineration emission standards.
| 3 | | (a) The General Assembly finds:
| 4 | | (1) That air pollution from municipal waste | 5 | | incineration may constitute
a threat to public health, | 6 | | welfare and the environment. The amounts and
kinds of | 7 | | pollutants depend on the nature of the waste stream, | 8 | | operating
conditions of the incinerator, and the | 9 | | effectiveness of emission controls.
Under normal operating | 10 | | conditions, municipal waste incinerators produce
| 11 | | pollutants such as organic compounds, metallic compounds | 12 | | and acid gases
which may be a threat to public health, | 13 | | welfare and the environment.
| 14 | | (2) That a combustion and flue-gas control system, | 15 | | which is properly
designed, operated and maintained, can | 16 | | substantially reduce the emissions
of organic materials, | 17 | | metallic compounds and acid gases from municipal
waste | 18 | | incineration.
| 19 | | (b) It is the purpose of this Section to insure that | 20 | | emissions from new
municipal waste incineration facilities | 21 | | which burn a total of 25 tons or
more of municipal waste per | 22 | | day are adequately controlled.
| 23 | | Such facilities shall be subject to emissions limits and | 24 | | operating
standards based upon the application of Best | 25 | | Available Control Technology,
as determined by the Agency, for | 26 | | emissions of the following categories of
pollutants:
|
| | | HB5198 Engrossed | - 6 - | LRB100 19878 MJP 35158 b |
|
| 1 | | (1) particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen | 2 | | oxides;
| 3 | | (2) acid gases;
| 4 | | (3) heavy metals; and
| 5 | | (4) organic materials.
| 6 | | (c) The Agency shall issue permits, pursuant to Section 39, | 7 | | to new
municipal waste incineration facilities only if the | 8 | | Agency finds that such
facilities are designed, constructed and | 9 | | operated so as to comply with the
requirements prescribed by | 10 | | this Section.
| 11 | | Prior to adoption of Board regulations under subsection (d) | 12 | | of this
Section the Agency may issue permits for the | 13 | | construction of new municipal
waste incineration facilities. | 14 | | The Agency determination of Best Available
Control Technology | 15 | | shall be based upon consideration of the specific
pollutants | 16 | | named in subsection (d), and emissions of particulate matter,
| 17 | | sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
| 18 | | Nothing in this Section shall limit
the applicability of | 19 | | any other Sections of this Act, or of other standards
or | 20 | | regulations adopted by the Board, to municipal waste | 21 | | incineration
facilities. In issuing such permits, the Agency | 22 | | may prescribe those
conditions necessary to assure continuing | 23 | | compliance with the emission
limits and operating standards | 24 | | determined pursuant to subsection (b); such
conditions may | 25 | | include the monitoring and reporting of emissions.
| 26 | | (d) Within one year after July 1, 1986, the Board shall |
| | | HB5198 Engrossed | - 7 - | LRB100 19878 MJP 35158 b |
|
| 1 | | adopt regulations pursuant to Title
VII of this Act, which | 2 | | define the terms in items (2), (3) and (4) of subsection
(b) of | 3 | | this Section which are to be used by the Agency in making its
| 4 | | determination pursuant to this Section. The provisions of | 5 | | Section 27(b) of
this Act shall not apply to this rulemaking.
| 6 | | Such regulations shall be written so that the categories of | 7 | | pollutants
include, but need not be limited to, the following | 8 | | specific pollutants:
| 9 | | (1) hydrogen chloride in the definition of acid gases;
| 10 | | (2) arsenic, cadmium, mercury, chromium, nickel and | 11 | | lead in the
definition of heavy metals; and
| 12 | | (3) polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated | 13 | | dibenzofurans and
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in the | 14 | | definition of organic materials.
| 15 | | (e) For the purposes of this Section, the term "Best | 16 | | Available Control
Technology" means an emission limitation
| 17 | | (including a visible emission standard) based on the maximum | 18 | | degree of
pollutant reduction which the Agency, on a | 19 | | case-by-case basis, taking into
account energy, environmental | 20 | | and economic impacts, determines is
achievable through the | 21 | | application of production processes or available
methods, | 22 | | systems and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or
| 23 | | innovative fuel combustion techniques. If the Agency | 24 | | determines that
technological or economic limitations on the | 25 | | application of measurement
methodology to a particular class of | 26 | | sources would make the imposition of
an emission standard not |
| | | HB5198 Engrossed | - 8 - | LRB100 19878 MJP 35158 b |
|
| 1 | | feasible, it may instead prescribe a design,
equipment, work | 2 | | practice or operational standard, or combination thereof,
to | 3 | | require the application of best available control technology. | 4 | | Such standard
shall, to the degree possible, set forth the | 5 | | emission reduction achievable by
implementation of such | 6 | | design, equipment, work practice or operation and
shall provide | 7 | | for compliance by means which achieve equivalent results.
| 8 | | (f) "Municipal waste incineration" means the burning of | 9 | | municipal waste
or fuel derived therefrom in a combustion | 10 | | apparatus designed to burn
municipal waste that may produce | 11 | | electricity or steam as a by-product. A
"new municipal waste | 12 | | incinerator" is an incinerator initially permitted for
| 13 | | development or construction after January 1, 1986. As used in | 14 | | this Section, "municipal waste" or "municipal waste or fuel | 15 | | derived therefrom" do not include: (i) post-use polymers or | 16 | | nonrecycled feedstocks that are converted into crude oil or | 17 | | refined into fuels or feedstocks using a pyrolysis or | 18 | | gasification process; and (ii) non-hazardous secondary | 19 | | material that is excluded from solid waste when used | 20 | | legitimately as a fuel or ingredient in a combustion unit in | 21 | | accordance with the standards and criteria set forth in 40 CFR | 22 | | 241.
| 23 | | (g) The provisions of this Section shall not apply to | 24 | | industrial
incineration facilities that burn waste generated | 25 | | at the same site.
