 2    weight of certain vehicles.

 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section 5.  The Environmental Protection Act  is  amended
 6    by changing Section 10 as follows:

 7        (415 ILCS 5/10) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1010)
 8        Sec. 10.  Regulations.
 9        (A)  The  Board,  pursuant  to  procedures  prescribed in
10    Title VII of this Act, may adopt regulations to  promote  the
11    purposes  of  this  Title. Without limiting the generality of
12    this authority,  such  regulations  may  among  other  things
13    prescribe:
14             (a)  Ambient  air  quality  standards specifying the
15        maximum    permissible    short-term    and     long-term
16        concentrations of various contaminants in the atmosphere;
17             (b)  Emission   standards   specifying  the  maximum
18        amounts or concentrations of  various  contaminants  that
19        may be discharged into the atmosphere;
20             (c)  Standards  for  the  issuance  of  permits  for
21        construction,   installation,   or   operation   of   any
22        equipment, facility, vehicle, vessel, or aircraft capable
23        of  causing  or contributing to air pollution or designed
24        to prevent air pollution;
25             (d)  Standards and conditions  regarding  the  sale,
26        offer,  or  use  of  any  fuel, vehicle, or other article
27        determined by the Board to  constitute  an  air-pollution
28        hazard;
29             (e)  Alert   and  abatement  standards  relative  to
30        air-pollution episodes  or  emergencies  constituting  an
31        acute danger to health or to the environment;

 
                            -2-                LRB9104897KSgc
 1             (f)  Requirements  and procedures for the inspection
 2        of any equipment, facility, vehicle, vessel, or  aircraft
 3        that may cause or contribute to air pollution;
 4             (g)  Requirements  and  standards  for equipment and
 5        procedures for monitoring contaminant discharges at their
 6        sources, the collection of samples  and  the  collection,
 7        reporting  and  retention  of  data  resulting  from such
 8        monitoring.
 9        (B)  The Board shall adopt sulfur dioxide regulations and
10    emission standards for existing  fuel  combustion  stationary
11    emission  sources  located  in  all  areas  of  the  State of
12    Illinois, except the Chicago, St. Louis (Illinois) and Peoria
13    major metropolitan areas, in accordance  with  the  following
14    requirements:
15             (1)  Such  regulations shall not be more restrictive
16        than  necessary  to  attain  and  maintain  the  "Primary
17        National  Ambient  Air  Quality  Standards   for   Sulfur
18        Dioxide" and within a reasonable time attain and maintain
19        the "Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
20        Sulfur Dioxide."
21             (2)  Such  regulations  shall  be based upon ambient
22        air  quality  monitoring  data   insofar   as   possible,
23        consistent   with   regulations   of  the  United  States
24        Environmental Protection Agency.  To the extent that  air
25        quality   modeling   techniques   are  used  for  setting
26        standards, such techniques shall be fully  described  and
27        documented  in  the  record  of  the  Board's  rulemaking
28        proceeding.
29             (3)  Such  regulations shall provide a mechanism for
30        the establishment of emission standards applicable  to  a
31        specific  site  as  an  alternative to a more restrictive
32        general emission  standard.   The  Board  shall  delegate
33        authority  to  the Agency to determine such specific site
34        emission standards, pursuant to  regulations  adopted  by
 
                            -3-                LRB9104897KSgc
 1        the Board.
 2             (4)  Such  regulations and standards shall allow all
 3        available  alternative  air   quality   control   methods
 4        consistent with federal law and regulations.
 5        (C)  The  Board  may not adopt any regulation banning the
 6    burning of landscape waste throughout  the  State  generally.
 7    The  Board  may,  by  regulation,  restrict  or  prohibit the
 8    burning of landscape waste within any  geographical  area  of
 9    the  State  if  it determines based on medical and biological
10    evidence generally accepted by the scientific community  that
11    such   burning   will  produce  in  the  atmosphere  of  that
12    geographical area contaminants in sufficient  quantities  and
13    of  such  characteristics  and duration as to be injurious to
14    humans, plant, or animal life, or health.
15        (D)  The Board  shall  adopt  regulations  requiring  the
16    owner  or  operator  of  a  gasoline  dispensing  system that
17    dispenses more than 10,000 gallons of gasoline per  month  to
18    install  and  operate  a  system for the recovery of gasoline
19    vapor emissions arising from the fueling  of  motor  vehicles
20    that  meets  the  requirements  of Section 182 of the federal
21    Clean Air Act (42 USC 7511a).  These regulations shall  apply
22    only  in  areas of the State that are classified as moderate,
23    serious, severe or  extreme  nonattainment  areas  for  ozone
24    pursuant  to Section 181 of the federal Clean Air Act (42 USC
25    7511), but shall  not  apply  in  such  areas  classified  as
26    moderate  nonattainment  areas for ozone if the Administrator
27    of  the  U.S.  Environmental  Protection  Agency  promulgates
28    standards for vehicle-based (onboard) systems for the control
29    of vehicle refueling emissions pursuant to Section  202(a)(6)
30    of  the federal Clean Air Act (42 USC 7521(a)(6)) by November
31    15, 1992.
32        (E)  The Board shall not adopt or enforce any  regulation
33    requiring  the  use  of  a  tarpaulin  or other covering on a
34    truck, trailer, or other vehicle that is  stricter  than  the
 
                            -4-                LRB9104897KSgc
 1    requirements  of  Section  15-6400  15-109.1  of the Illinois
 2    Vehicle Code.  To the extent that it is in conflict with this
 3    subsection, the Board's rule codified as 35 Ill. Admin. Code,
 4    Section 212.315 is hereby superseded.
 5        (F)  Any person who prior to June 8, 1988,  has  filed  a
 6    timely  Notice  of  Intent  to  Petition for an Adjusted RACT
 7    Emissions Limitation and  who  subsequently  timely  files  a
 8    completed  petition for an adjusted RACT emissions limitation
 9    pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code, Part 215, Subpart I, shall  be
10    subject to the procedures contained in Subpart I but shall be
11    excluded  by  operation  of  law from 35 Ill. Adm. Code, Part
12    215,  Subparts  PP,  QQ  and  RR,  including  the  applicable
13    definitions in 35 Ill. Adm. Code,  Part  211.   Such  persons
14    shall  instead  be subject to a separate regulation which the
15    Board is hereby authorized to adopt pursuant to the  adjusted
16    RACT  emissions  limitation  procedure  in 35 Ill. Adm. Code,
17    Part 215, Subpart I.  In its final action  on  the  petition,
18    the  Board  shall  create  a  separate rule which establishes
19    Reasonably  Available  Control  Technology  (RACT)  for  such
20    person.  The purpose of this procedure is to create  separate
21    and  independent  regulations  for purposes of SIP submittal,
22    review, and approval by USEPA.
23        (G)  Subpart FF of Subtitle B, Title 35 Ill.  Adm.  Code,
24    Sections 218.720 through 218.730 and Sections 219.720 through
25    219.730,  are  hereby  repealed  by  operation of law and are
26    rendered null and void and of no force and effect.

 1        (b)  The  appropriate  fees required to be paid under the
 2    various provisions of this Act for registration  of  vehicles
 3    shall  mean  the  fee  or  fees  which  would  have been paid
 4    initially, if proper and timely application had been made  to
 5    the  Secretary  of  State  for  the  appropriate registration
 6    required,  whether  such  registration  be  a   flat   weight
 7    registration, a single trip permit, a reciprocity permit or a
 8    supplemental  application  to an original prorate application
 9    together with payment of  fees  due  under  the  supplemental
10    application for prorate decals.

13    proof  of  payment,  in a form prescribed and approved by the
14    Secretary  of  State,  is  submitted  with  the   appropriate
15    registration.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision of this
16    Code, failure of the applicant to comply with this  paragraph
17    shall   be   deemed  grounds  for  the  Secretary  to  refuse
18    registration.
19        (d)  Second division vehicles.
20             (1)  A vehicle  of  the  second  division  moved  or
21        operated within this State shall have had paid for it the
22        appropriate  registration  fees  and  flat weight tax, as
23        evidenced by the Illinois registration  issued  for  that
24        vehicle,  for  the  gross  weight of the vehicle and load
25        being operated  or  moved  within  this  State.    Second
26        division   vehicles  of  foreign  jurisdictions  operated
27        within this State  under  a  single  trip  permit,  fleet
28        reciprocity   plan,   prorate   registration   plan,   or
29        apportional registration plan, instead of second division
30        vehicle  registration under Article VIII of this Chapter,
31        must have had paid for it  the  appropriate  registration
32        fees and flat weight tax in the base jurisdiction of that
33        vehicle,  as  evidenced by the maximum gross weight shown
34        on the foreign registration cards, plus  any  appropriate
 
                            -7-                LRB9104897KSgc
 1        fees required under this Code.
 2             (2)  If  a  vehicle  and  load  are operated in this
 3        State and the appropriate fees and taxes  have  not  been
 4        paid  or the vehicle and load exceed the registered gross
 5        weight for which the required fees and  taxes  have  been
 6        paid  by 2001 pounds or more, the operator or owner shall
 7        be fined as provided in Section 15-10100 15-113  of  this
 8        Code.  However, an owner or operator shall not be subject
 9        to  arrest under this subsection for any weight in excess
10        of 80,000 pounds.  Further, for any unregistered  vehicle
11        or vehicle displaying expired registration, no fine shall
12        exceed   the   actual   cost   of  what  the  appropriate
13        registration for that vehicle and load should  have  been
14        as established in subsection (a) of Section 3-815 of this
15        Chapter regardless of the route traveled.
16             (3)  Any  person  operating  a  legal combination of
17        vehicles  displaying  valid  registration  shall  not  be
18        considered in violation of the registration provision  of
19        this  subsection  unless  the  total  gross weight of the
20        combination exceeds the  total  licensed  weight  of  the
21        vehicles  in  the  combination.  The  gross  weight  of a
22        vehicle exempt from the registration requirements of this
23        Chapter shall not be included when determining the  total
24        gross weight of vehicles in combination.
25             (4)  If  the  defendant  claims  that  he or she had
26        previously paid  the  appropriate  Illinois  registration
27        fees  and  taxes  for  this  vehicle  before  the alleged
28        violation, the defendant shall have the burden of proving
29        the existence  of  the  payment  by  competent  evidence.
30        Proof  of  proper  Illinois  registration  issued  by the
31        Secretary  of  State,  or  the  appropriate  registration
32        authority from the  foreign  state,  shall  be  the  only
33        competent evidence of payment.

27        12N  +  36  where  "W" equals overall gross weight on any
28        group of 2 or more consecutive axles to the  nearest  500
29        pounds;  "L"  equals the distance measured to the nearest
30        foot  between  extremes  of  any  group  of  2  or   more
31        consecutive  axles; and "N" equals the number of axles in
32        the group under consideration, except that 2  consecutive
33        sets  of  tandem  axles  may carry a gross load of 34,000
34        pounds each, provided the overall  distance  between  the

17    clearing a disabled vehicle, that  may  be  in  violation  of
18    weight  limitations  of this Chapter, from the roadway to the

15        (625 ILCS 5/15-9000 new)
16        Sec. 15-9000.  Permits for Excess Size and Weight.
17        (a)  The  Department  with  respect to highways under its
18    jurisdiction and local authorities with respect  to  highways
19    under  their  jurisdiction  may,  in  their  discretion, upon
20    application and good cause  being  shown  therefor,  issue  a
21    special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
22    vehicle  or  combination  of  vehicles of a size or weight of
23    vehicle or load  exceeding  the  maximum  specified  in  this
24    Chapter or otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any
25    highway  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the party granting the
26    permit  and  for  the  maintenance  of  which  the  party  is
27    responsible. Applications and permits  other  than  those  in
28    written  or printed form may only be accepted from and issued
29    to the company or individual making the movement. Except  for
30    an  application  to move directly across a highway, it is the
31    duty of the applicant to establish in  the  application  that
 
                            -62-               LRB9104897KSgc
 1    the  load  to  be  moved  by  the  vehicle  or combination is
 2    composed  of  a  single  nondivisible  object   that   cannot
 3    reasonably  be  dismantled  or  disassembled.  More  than one
 4    object may be carried under permit as long as the carriage of
 5    the additional object or objects does not cause the  size  or
 6    weight  of the vehicle or load to exceed beyond that required
 7    for carriage of the single, nondivisible object  itself.  For
 8    the  purpose  of  over length movements, more than one object
 9    may be carried side by side as long as the height, width, and
10    weight laws are not exceeded  and  the  cause  for  the  over
11    length  is  not  due  to multiple objects. For the purpose of
12    over height movements, more than one object may be carried as
13    long as the cause for the over height is not due to  multiple
14    objects  and  the  length,  width,  and  weight  laws are not
15    exceeded. For the purpose of an  over  width  movement,  more
16    than  one  object may be carried as long as the cause for the
17    over width is not due to multiple objects and length, height,
18    and weight laws are not exceeded. No State  or  local  agency
19    shall authorize the issuance of excess size or weight permits
20    for  vehicles  and  loads  that are divisible and that can be
21    carried, when divided, within the  existing  size  or  weight
22    maximums specified in this Chapter. Any excess size or weight
23    permit  issued in violation of the provisions of this Article
24    shall be void at issue and any movement made thereunder shall
25    not be authorized under the terms of the void permit. In  any
26    prosecution   for  a  violation  of  this  Chapter  when  the
27    authorization of an excess size or weight permit is at issue,
28    it is the burden of  the  defendant  to  establish  that  the
29    permit  was  valid  because  the  load  to be moved could not
30    reasonably be dismantled or disassembled,  or  was  otherwise
31    nondivisible.
32        (b)  The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
33    whether  such  permit  is  requested for a single trip or for
34    limited continuous operation; (2) state if the  applicant  is
 
                            -63-               LRB9104897KSgc
 1    an  authorized  carrier  under  the Illinois Motor Carrier of
 2    Property Law, if so, his certificate, registration or  permit
 3    number  issued  by  the  Illinois  Commerce  Commission;  (3)
 4    specifically  describe  and  identify the vehicle or vehicles
 5    and load to be operated or moved except that for vehicles  or
 6    vehicle combinations registered by the Department as provided
 7    in   Section   15-9100,   only  the  Illinois  Department  of
 8    Transportation's (IDT) registration number or  classification
 9    need  be given; (4) state the routing requested including the
10    points of  origin  and  destination,  and  may  identify  and
11    include  a request for routing to the nearest certified scale
12    in accordance  with  the  Department's  rules,  provided  the
13    applicant  has  approval  to  travel  on local roads; and (5)
14    state if the vehicles or  loads  are  being  transported  for
15    hire.  No  permits  for the movement of a vehicle or load for
16    hire shall be issued to any applicant who is  required  under
17    the  Illinois  Motor  Carrier  of  Property  Law  to  have  a
18    certificate,  registration,  or permit and does not have such
19    certificate, registration, or permit.
20        (c)  The  Department  or   local   authority   when   not
21    inconsistent  with  traffic  safety is authorized to issue or
22    withhold the permit at its discretion; or, if the  permit  is
23    issued  at its discretion to prescribe the route or routes to
24    be traveled, to limit  the  number  of  trips,  to  establish
25    seasonal  or other time limitations within which the vehicles
26    described may be  operated  on  the  highways  indicated,  or
27    otherwise  to  limit or prescribe conditions of operations of
28    the vehicle or vehicles, when  necessary  to  assure  against
29    undue   damage   to   the   road  foundations,  surfaces,  or
30    structures, and may require any undertaking or other security
31    as may be deemed necessary to compensate for  any  injury  to
32    any  roadway or road structure. The Department shall maintain
33    a daily record of each permit issued along with the  fee  and
34    the    stipulated   dimensions,   weights,   conditions   and
 
                            -64-               LRB9104897KSgc
 1    restrictions authorized and this  record  shall  be  presumed
 2    correct  in  any case of questions or dispute. The Department
 3    shall install an automatic device for recording  applications
 4    received   and   permits   issued  by  telephone.  In  making
 5    application by telephone, the Department and applicant  waive
 6    all objections to the recording of the conversation.
 7        (d)  The   form  and  content  of  the  permit  shall  be
 8    determined by the Department with respect to  highways  under
 9    its  jurisdiction  and  by  local authorities with respect to
10    highways under their jurisdiction. Every permit shall  be  in
11    written  form  and  carried  in the vehicle or combination of
12    vehicles to which it refers and shall be open  to  inspection
13    by  any  police  officer or authorized agent of any authority
14    granting the permit and no person shall violate  any  of  the
15    terms  or  conditions of the special permit. Violation of the
16    terms and conditions of the permit  shall  not  be  deemed  a
17    revocation of the permit; however, any vehicle and load found
18    to be off the route prescribed in the permit shall be held to
19    be operating without a permit. Any off route vehicle and load
20    shall  be  required  to  obtain  a  new permit or permits, as
21    necessary, to authorize the movement back onto  the  original
22    permit  routing.  No  rule or regulation, nor anything herein
23    shall be construed to authorize any police officer, court, or
24    authorized agent of any  authority  granting  the  permit  to
25    remove the permit from the possession of the permittee unless
26    the  permittee  is charged with a fraudulent permit violation
27    as provided in subsection (b) of  Section  15-9300.  However,
28    upon  arrest for an offense of violation of permit, operating
29    without a permit when the vehicle is off route, or  any  size
30    or weight offense under this Chapter when the permittee plans
31    to  raise  the  issuance  of  the  permit  as  a defense, the
32    permittee, or his agent, must produce the permit at any court
33    hearing  concerning  the  alleged  offense.  If  the   permit
34    designates  and  includes a routing to a certified scale, the
 
                            -65-               LRB9104897KSgc
 1    permittee, while enroute to the designated  scale,  shall  be
 2    deemed in compliance with the weight provisions of the permit
 3    provided  the  axle or gross weights do not exceed any of the
 4    permitted limits by more than the following amounts:
 5        Single axle ................................ 2,000 pounds
 6        Tandem axle ................................ 3,000 pounds
 7        Gross ..................................... 5,000 pounds.
 8        (e)  The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
 9    make available to  interested  persons  a  policy  concerning
10    reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
11    operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
12    those  contained  in this Section for the movement by special
13    permit of  vehicles,  combinations,  or  loads  which  cannot
14    reasonably   be   dismantled   or   disassembled,   including
15    manufactured  and modular home sections and portions thereof.
16    All rules, limitations and conditions or  provisions  adopted
17    in  the  policy  shall  have due regard for the safety of the
18    traveling public and the protection of the highway system and
19    shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
20    of   the   Illinois   Administrative   Procedure   Act.   The
21    requirements of the policy for flagmen  and  escort  vehicles
22    shall  be  the  same  for  all  moves  of comparable size and
23    weight. When escort vehicles are required,  they  shall  meet
24    the following requirements:
25             (1)  all  operators shall be 18 years of age or over
26        and properly licensed to operate the vehicle; and
27             (2)  vehicles escorting oversized  loads  more  than
28        12-feet wide must be equipped with a rotating or flashing
29        amber  light  mounted  on  top as specified under Section
30        12-215.
31        (f)  The  Department  shall  establish  reasonable  rules
32    regarding liability insurance or self insurance for  vehicles
33    with   oversized   loads   promulgated   under  the  Illinois
34    Administrative  Procedure  Act.   Police  vehicles   may   be
 
                            -66-               LRB9104897KSgc
 1    required  for escort under circumstances as required by rules
 2    of the Department.
 3        (g) (1)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this
 4        Section, the Department with respect  to  highways  under
 5        its  jurisdiction,  and local authorities with respect to
 6        highways  under  their   jurisdiction,   may   at   their
 7        discretion   authorize  the  movement  of  a  vehicle  in
 8        violation of any size or  weight  requirement,  or  both,
 9        that  would not ordinarily be eligible for a permit, when
10        there is a showing of extreme necessity that the  vehicle
11        and load should be moved without unnecessary delay.
12             (2)  For  the purpose of this subsection, showing of
13        extreme necessity shall  be  limited  to  the  following:
14        shipments   of  livestock,  hazardous  materials,  liquid
15        concrete being hauled in a mobile cement  mixer,  or  hot
16        asphalt.

 4    (IDT) registration number and  classification  identification
 5    label. The label shall be issued for a period not to exceed 2

12    promulgated by the Department.
13        (c)  All moneys received by  the  Department  under  this
14    Section  shall  be  deposited  into  the  Road  Fund. Vehicle
15    classification shall be for identification purposes and shall

 1        (a)  As  an  exception   to   Section   15-9000(a),   the
 2    Department  and  local  authorities, with respect to highways
 3    under their respective jurisdictions, in their discretion and
 4    upon application in writing may issue a  special  permit  for
 5    limited  continuous  operation,  authorizing the applicant to
 6    move loads of sweet corn, soybeans, corn, wheat, milo,  other
 7    small grains and ensilage during the harvest season only on a
 8    2  axle  single  vehicle registered by the Secretary of State
 9    with axle loads not to exceed 35%  above  those  provided  in
10    Article V of this Chapter. Permits may be issued for a period
11    not to exceed 40 days and moves may be made of a distance not
12    to  exceed  25  miles  from a field to a specified processing
13    plant over  any  highway  except  any  interstate.  All  such
14    vehicles shall be operated in the daytime except when weather
15    or  crop conditions require emergency operation at night, but
16    with respect to such night operation, every such vehicle with
17    load  shall  be  equipped  with  flashing  amber  lights   as
18    specified under Section 12-215.
19        (b)  Upon a declaration by the Governor that an emergency

 9        Sec. 15-9300.  Violations of Permits.
10        (a)  Violation  of  any  rule, limitation or condition or
11    provision  of  any  permit  issued  in  accordance  with  the
12    provisions of this Article shall not render the entire permit
13    null and void but the violator  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of
14    violation  of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight
15    or load limitations in excess  of  those  authorized  by  the
16    permit.  The prescribed route or routes on the permit are not
17    mere rules, limitations, conditions,  or  provisions  of  the
18    permit,  but  are  also  the sole extent of the authorization
19    granted by the permit. If a vehicle and load are found to  be
20    off  the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing
21    movement, the  vehicle  and  load  are  operating  without  a
22    permit.  Any  off route movement shall be subject to the size
23    and weight maximums, under the applicable provisions of  this
24    Chapter,  as  determined  by  the  type or class highway upon
25    which the vehicle and load are being operated.
26        (b)  Whenever any vehicle is operated  or  movement  made
27    under  a  fraudulent permit the permit shall be void, and the
28    person, firm, or corporation to whom the permit was  granted,
29    the  driver  of  the  vehicle  in  addition to the person who
30    issued the permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of fraud
31    and either one or all  persons  may  be  prosecuted  for  the
32    violation.  Any  person,  firm, or corporation committing the
33    violation shall be  guilty  of  a  Class  4  felony  and  the

 1    Department  shall  not  issue permits to the person, firm, or
 2    corporation convicted of the violation for a  period  of  one
 3    year after the date of conviction.
 4        (c)  Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
 5    violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Article,
 6    the  person  to whom the permit was granted, or the driver of
 7    the vehicle, is guilty of the violation and either,  but  not
 8    both,  persons  may be prosecuted for the violation as stated
 9    in this subsection (c).  Any  person,  firm,  or  corporation
10    convicted  of  such  violation  shall  be  guilty  of a petty
11    offense and shall be fined, for the first offense,  not  less
12    than  $50  nor  more than $200 and, for the second offense by
13    the same person, firm, or corporation within a period of  one
14    year,  not  less  than  $200  nor more than $300 and, for the
15    third offense by the same person, firm, or corporation within
16    a period of one year after the date of the first offense, not
17    less than $300 nor more than $500 and  the  Department  shall
18    not  issue  permits  to  the  person,  firm,  or  corporation
19    convicted  of  a  third  offense  during a period of one year
20    after the date of conviction for the third offense.
21        (d)  Penalties for violations of this Article shall be in

26        (a)  The  Department  with  respect to highways under its
27    jurisdiction shall collect a fee from the applicant  for  the
28    issuance  of  a  permit  to  operate  or  move  a  vehicle or
29    combination of vehicles or  load  as  authorized  in  Section
30    15-9000.  The charge for each permit shall consist of:
31             (1)  A  service  charge  for  special  handling of a
32        permit when requested by an applicant;
33             (2)  Fees for any dimension, axle  weight  or  gross

 1        weight  in excess of the maximum size or weight specified
 2        in this Chapter; and
 3             (3)  additional fees for special  investigations  as
 4        in  Section  15-9750  and  special  police  escort  as in
 5        Section 15-9800 when required.
 6        (b)  With respect to overweight fees, the charge shall be
 7    sufficient to compensate in part for the cost  of  the  extra
 8    wear  and tear on the mileage of highways over which the load
 9    is to be moved. With respect to over-dimension  permits,  the
10    fee shall be sufficient to compensate in part for the special
11    privilege   of   transporting  oversize  vehicle  or  vehicle
12    combination and load  and  to  compensate  in  part  for  the
13    economic  loss  of operators of vehicles in regular operation
14    due to inconvenience occasioned by the oversize movements.
15        (c)  Fees to be paid by the applicant are to  be  at  the
16    rates  specified  in this Article. In determining the fees in
17    Section 15-9500 and Section 15-9550, all weights shall be  to
18    the  next  highest  1,000  pounds  and all distances shall be
19    determined from the Illinois Official Highway Map.
20        (d)  For repeated moves of like objects which  cannot  be
21    dismantled  or  disassembled  and  which  are  monolithically
22    structured  for  permanent  use  in the transported form, the
23    fees specified in Sections 15-9450, 15-9500, and 15-9550  for
24    other than the first move shall be reduced by $4 provided the
25    objects  are  to  be  moved  from the same origin to the same
26    destination, the number of trips will not be less than 5, the
27    trips will be completed within 30 days, and all  applications
28    are  submitted  at  one time. Round trip permits shall be the
29    same as a single trip permit except the fee shall be computed
30    based upon the total distance traveled, and shall be for  the
31    same vehicle, vehicle combination or like load traveling both
32    directions  over  the  same  route,  provided  a  description
33    including  make  and model of the equipment being transported
34    is  furnished  to  the  Department,  except  that  a  vehicle

31    place and remain standing until such portion of the  load  is
32    removed  as  may  be  necessary  to  reduce the weight of the
