(625 ILCS 33/20)
Sec. 20.
Submission of programs and awarding of credits.
Owners may
submit
voluntary programs as described in Section 15 to the Department for approval.
The Department, after consultation with the Agency, shall determine the
appropriate emission reduction credit to be awarded to owners who carry out
their programs and to be used by the owners of stationary sources to satisfy
the post-1996 emission reduction requirements under the Clean Air Act
Amendments
of 1990. Emission reduction credits shall not be awarded to owners for
programs
that are
required
under the Clean Air Act or the Environmental Protection Act or that
are substantially the same as an owner's employees' existing level of use of
employee commute options programs.
The Department shall adjust credits to avoid duplicating the credits the
State takes for similar transportation demand management practices under the
applicable State Implementation Plan. Credits may be revoked for failure to
achieve the reductions called for in the owner's voluntary program.
