 1        AN ACT concerning environmental protection.

 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
 5    by adding Section 9.11 and changing Section 39.5 as follows:

 6        (415 ILCS 5/9.11 new)
 7        Section 9.11.  Construction permit fees.
 8        (a)  For   any   source   for   which  an  air  pollution
 9    construction permit is required, the  owner  or  operator  of
10    that source shall pay a fee as established in this Section to
11    the  Agency  upon  submission  of  an  application for an air
12    pollution construction permit.
13        (b)  The following fee amounts shall apply:
14             (1)  Where the estimated capital cost of the project
15        is less than $300,000 or if the project consists  of  new
16        facilities   controlled   and  operated  by  the  federal
17        government or this State and  is  not    subject  to  the
18        requirements  of  the  federal  Prevention of Significant
19        Deterioration (PSD) program  or  the  New  Source  Review
20        (NSR) program, the fee is $450 per application for an air
21        pollution  construction  permit.  If  the Agency grants a
22        request for expedited review of an application for an air
23        pollution  construction  permit,  the  review   will   be
24        completed  within  45  days  of  the date that a complete
25        permit application is filed with the Agency, and the  fee
26        is  $900.  The  Agency  shall  not  grant  a  request for
27        expedited review of an application for an  air  pollution
28        construction   permit   if   a   public  notice  and  the
29        opportunity for hearing are required. If a public  notice
30        and  opportunity  for  hearing  is  required, the fee per
31        application is $5,450.

 4        or a fee of $75,000 for projects subject to PSD or NSR is
 5        required  for  each  application  for  an  air  pollution

19                  pump  station  shall  not  be  aggregated  with
20                  emissions from other similar units, whether  or
21                  not  such  units  are  in  a contiguous area or
22                  under common control, to determine whether such
23                  stations are major sources.
24                       B.  For  radionuclides,   "major   source"
25                  shall  have  the meaning specified by the USEPA
26                  by rule.
27                  ii.  A   major   stationary   source   of   air
28             pollutants, as defined in Section 302 of  the  Clean
29             Air Act, that directly emits or has the potential to
30             emit,   100   tpy  or  more  of  any  air  pollutant
31             (including any major source of fugitive emissions of
32             any such pollutant, as determined by rule by USEPA).
33             For   purposes   of   this   subsection,   "fugitive
34             emissions" means those  emissions  which  could  not
 
                            -19-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             reasonably  pass  through a stack, chimney, vent, or
 2             other functionally-equivalent opening.  The fugitive
 3             emissions  of  a  stationary  source  shall  not  be
 4             considered in determining  whether  it  is  a  major
 5             stationary source for the purposes of Section 302(j)
 6             of  the  Clean Air Act, unless the source belongs to
 7             one  of  the  following  categories  of   stationary

21                  year of volatile organic compounds or oxides of
22                  nitrogen  in  areas classified as "marginal" or
23                  "moderate", 50 tons or more per year  in  areas
24                  classified  as  "serious",  25 tons or more per
25                  year in areas classified as  "severe",  and  10
26                  tons  or  more  per year in areas classified as
27                  "extreme"; except that the references  in  this
28                  clause  to 100, 50, 25, and 10 tons per year of
29                  nitrogen oxides shall not apply with respect to
30                  any source for which USEPA has made a  finding,
31                  under Section 182(f)(1) or (2) of the Clean Air
32                  Act,  that requirements otherwise applicable to
33                  such source under Section 182(f) of  the  Clean
34                  Air  Act  do  not  apply.   Such  sources shall
 
                            -21-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1                  remain subject to the major source criteria  of

19        3.  Agency Authority To Issue CAAPP Permits and Federally
20    Enforceable State Operating Permits.
21             a.  The Agency shall issue CAAPP permits under  this
22        Section consistent with the Clean Air Act and regulations
23        promulgated  thereunder  and  this  Act  and  regulations
24        promulgated thereunder.
25             b.  The  Agency  shall issue CAAPP permits for fixed
26        terms of 5 years, except CAAPP permits issued  for  solid
27        waste incineration units combusting municipal waste which
28        shall  be  issued  for fixed terms of 12 years and except
29        CAAPP permits for affected sources  for  acid  deposition
30        which  shall  be  issued  for  initial terms to expire on
31        December 31,  1999,  and  for  fixed  terms  of  5  years
32        thereafter.
33             c.  The  Agency  shall have the authority to issue a
34        State operating permit for a source under  Section  39(a)
 
                            -22-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        of  this  Act,  as  amended,  and regulations promulgated
 2        thereunder,   which   includes   federally    enforceable
 3        conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of the source
 4        to  a  level  below  the  major source threshold for that
 5        source as described in paragraph 2(c)  of  this  Section,
 6        thereby   excluding  the  source  from  the  CAAPP,  when
 7        requested by the applicant pursuant to paragraph 5(u)  of
 8        this  Section.   The  public  notice requirements of this
 9        Section applicable to CAAPP permits shall also  apply  to
10        the initial issuance of permits under this paragraph.
11             d.  For  purposes  of  this  Act, a permit issued by
12        USEPA under Section 505 of the Clean Air Act, as now  and
13        hereafter  amended, shall be deemed to be a permit issued
14        by the Agency pursuant to Section 39.5 of this Act.

15        4.  Transition.
16             a.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not
17        be required to renew an existing State  operating  permit
18        for  any  emission unit at such CAAPP source once a CAAPP
19        application timely submitted prior to expiration  of  the
20        State  operating  permit  has  been  deemed complete. For
21        purposes other than permit renewal, the  obligation  upon
22        the owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State
23        operating  permit  is  not  removed upon submittal of the
24        complete CAAPP permit application.  An owner or  operator
25        of  a  CAAPP  source  seeking to make a modification to a
26        source prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be
27        required to obtain a construction and/or operating permit
28        as required for such modification in accordance with  the
29        State  permit program under Section 39(a) of this Act, as
30        amended, and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.   The
31        application for such construction and/or operating permit
32        shall be considered an amendment to the CAAPP application
33        submitted for such source.
34             b.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
 
                            -23-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        continue to operate in  accordance  with  the  terms  and
 2        conditions  of  its  applicable  State  operating  permit
 3        notwithstanding  the  expiration  of  the State operating
 4        permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued.
 5             c.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
 6        submit  its  initial  CAAPP  application to the Agency no
 7        later than 12 months after  the  effective  date  of  the
 8        CAAPP.  The Agency may request submittal of initial CAAPP
 9        applications  during  this 12 month period according to a
10        schedule set forth within Agency procedures, however,  in
11        no  event shall the Agency require such submittal earlier
12        than 3 months after such effective date of the CAAPP.  An
13        owner or operator  may  voluntarily  submit  its  initial
14        CAAPP  application prior to the date required within this
15        paragraph or applicable procedures, if any, subsequent to
16        the date the  Agency  submits  the  CAAPP  to  USEPA  for
17        approval.
18             d.  The   Agency   shall   act   on   initial  CAAPP
19        applications in accordance with subsection 5(j)  of  this
20        Section.
21             e.  For  purposes of this Section, the term "initial
22        CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application
23        submitted for a source existing as of the effective  date
24        of the CAAPP.
25             f.  The  Agency shall provide owners or operators of
26        CAAPP sources with at least three months  advance  notice
27        of  the  date on which their applications are required to
28        be submitted.  In  determining  which  sources  shall  be
29        subject  to  early  submittal,  the  Agency shall include
30        among its considerations the  complexity  of  the  permit
31        application,  and  the  burden  that such early submittal
32        will have on the source.
33             g.  The CAAPP permit shall upon  becoming  effective
34        supersede the State operating permit.

 1             h.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
 2        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
 3        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
 4        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 5        5.  Applications and Completeness.
 6             a.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
 7        submit its complete CAAPP application consistent with the
 8        Act and applicable regulations.
 9             b.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
10        submit a single complete CAAPP application  covering  all
11        emission units at that source.
12             c.  To  be deemed complete, a CAAPP application must
13        provide  all  information,   as   requested   in   Agency
14        application  forms,  sufficient  to  evaluate the subject
15        source  and  its  application  and   to   determine   all
16        applicable  requirements,  pursuant to the Clean Air Act,
17        and regulations  thereunder,  this  Act  and  regulations
18        thereunder.   Such  Agency  application  forms  shall  be
19        finalized  and  made available prior to the date on which
20        any CAAPP application is required.
21             d.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
22        submit,  as  part  of  its  complete CAAPP application, a
23        compliance plan,  including  a  schedule  of  compliance,
24        describing  how  each  emission unit will comply with all
25        applicable requirements.  Any such schedule of compliance
26        shall  be  supplemental  to,  and  shall   not   sanction
27        noncompliance  with, the applicable requirements on which
28        it is based.
29             e.  Each  submitted  CAAPP  application   shall   be
30        certified  for  truth,  accuracy,  and  completeness by a
31        responsible  official  in  accordance   with   applicable
32        regulations.
33             f.  The  Agency  shall  provide  notice  to  a CAAPP
34        applicant as to whether a submitted CAAPP application  is
 
                            -25-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        complete.   Unless  the  Agency notifies the applicant of
 2        incompleteness, within 60 days of receipt  of  the  CAAPP
 3        application,  the  application  shall be deemed complete.
 4        The Agency may request additional information  as  needed
 5        to  make  the completeness determination.  The Agency may
 6        to the extent practicable provide the  applicant  with  a
 7        reasonable opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a
 8        final determination of completeness.
 9             g.  If  after  the determination of completeness the
10        Agency finds that additional information is necessary  to
11        evaluate  or  take final action on the CAAPP application,
12        the Agency may request in writing such  information  from
13        the source with a reasonable deadline for response.
14             h.  If  the  owner  or  operator  of  a CAAPP source
15        submits a timely  and  complete  CAAPP  application,  the
16        source's  failure  to  have a CAAPP permit shall not be a
17        violation of this Section until the  Agency  takes  final
18        action  on  the  submitted  CAAPP  application, provided,
19        however,  where  the  applicant  fails  to   submit   the
20        requested  information  under  paragraph  5(g) within the
21        time frame specified by the Agency, this protection shall
22        cease to apply.
23             i.  Any applicant who fails to submit  any  relevant
24        facts  necessary  to  evaluate the subject source and its
25        CAAPP  application  or  who   has   submitted   incorrect
26        information  in  a CAAPP application shall, upon becoming
27        aware of such  failure  or  incorrect  submittal,  submit
28        supplementary facts or correct information to the Agency.
29        In  addition,  an  applicant  shall provide to the Agency
30        additional  information  as  necessary  to  address   any
31        requirements   which  become  applicable  to  the  source
32        subsequent  to  the  date  the  applicant  submitted  its
33        complete CAAPP application but prior to  release  of  the
34        draft CAAPP permit.

 1             j.  The  Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP permit
 2        within 18  months  after  the  date  of  receipt  of  the
 3        complete    CAAPP   application,   with   the   following
 4        exceptions:  (i) permits for affected  sources  for  acid
 5        deposition  shall  be  issued  or  denied within 6 months
 6        after receipt of a  complete  application  in  accordance
 7        with subsection 17 of this Section; (ii) the Agency shall
 8        act  on initial CAAPP applications within 24 months after
 9        the date of receipt of the  complete  CAAPP  application;
10        (iii)  the  Agency  shall  act  on  complete applications
11        containing early reduction demonstrations  under  Section
12        112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act within 9 months of receipt
13        of the complete CAAPP application.
14             Where  the  Agency does not take final action on the
15        permit within the required time period, the permit  shall
16        not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be
17        treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial
18        review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act.
19             k.  The  submittal  of  a complete CAAPP application
20        shall not affect the requirement that any source  have  a
21        preconstruction  permit  under  Title  I of the Clean Air
22        Act.
23             l.  Unless a timely and complete renewal application
24        has been submitted consistent  with  this  subsection,  a
25        CAAPP  source  operating upon the expiration of its CAAPP
26        permit shall be deemed to be operating  without  a  CAAPP
27        permit.  Such operation is prohibited under this Act.
28             m.  Permits  being  renewed  shall be subject to the
29        same procedural requirements, including those for  public
30        participation  and  federal  review  and  objection, that
31        apply to original permit issuance.
32             n.  For  purposes  of  permit  renewal,   a   timely
33        application  is  one  that  is  submitted  no less than 9
34        months prior to the date of permit expiration.

 1             o.  The terms and conditions of a CAAPP permit shall
 2        remain in effect until the issuance of  a  CAAPP  renewal
 3        permit  provided  a timely and complete CAAPP application
 4        has been submitted.
 5             p.  The owner or operator of a CAAPP source  seeking
 6        a  permit  shield  pursuant  to  paragraph  7(j)  of this
 7        Section shall request such permit  shield  in  the  CAAPP
 8        application regarding that source.
 9             q.  The  Agency  shall  make available to the public
10        all documents submitted by the applicant to  the  Agency,
11        including   each   CAAPP   application,  compliance  plan
12        (including the schedule of compliance), and emissions  or
13        compliance  monitoring  report,  with  the  exception  of
14        information  entitled  to confidential treatment pursuant
15        to Section 7 of this Act.
16             r.  The Agency  shall  use  the  standardized  forms
17        required  under  Title  IV  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and
18        regulations  promulgated  thereunder for affected sources
19        for acid deposition.
20             s.  An owner or  operator  of  a  CAAPP  source  may
21        include  within  its  CAAPP  application  a  request  for
22        permission  to  operate during a startup, malfunction, or
23        breakdown consistent with applicable Board regulations.
24             t.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source, in order
25        to utilize the  operational  flexibility  provided  under
26        paragraph 7(l) of this Section, must request such use and
27        provide   the  necessary  information  within  its  CAAPP
28        application.
29             u.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  which
30        seeks  exclusion from the CAAPP through the imposition of
31        federally enforceable conditions, pursuant  to  paragraph
32        3(c)  of this Section, must request such exclusion within
33        a  CAAPP  application  submitted  consistent  with   this
34        subsection   on   or   after  the  date  that  the  CAAPP

 1        application for the source is due. Prior  to  such  date,
 2        but  in  no  case later than 9 months after the effective
 3        date of the CAAPP, such owner or operator may request the
 4        imposition of federally enforceable  conditions  pursuant
 5        to paragraph 1.1(b) of this Section.
 6             v.  CAAPP   applications   shall   contain  accurate
 7        information on allowable emissions to implement  the  fee
 8        provisions of subsection 18 of this Section.

10        submit within its CAAPP application emissions information
11        regarding all regulated air pollutants  emitted  at  that
12        source  consistent  with  applicable  Agency  procedures.
13        Emissions  information regarding insignificant activities
14        or emission levels, as determined by the Agency  pursuant
15        to  Board  regulations, may be submitted as a list within
16        the  CAAPP  application.   The   Agency   shall   propose
17        regulations   to   the   Board   defining   insignificant
18        activities  or  emission  levels, consistent with federal
19        regulations, if any, no later than 18  months  after  the
20        effective date of this amendatory Act of 1992, consistent
21        with  Section  112(n)(1) of the Clean Air Act.  The Board
22        shall  adopt  final  regulations  defining  insignificant
23        activities or emission levels  no  later  than  9  months
24        after the date of the Agency's proposal.
25             x.  The  owner  or  operator  of  a new CAAPP source
26        shall submit its complete  CAAPP  application  consistent
27        with  this  subsection  within 12 months after commencing
28        operation of such source. The owner  or  operator  of  an
29        existing   source   that   has  been  excluded  from  the
30        provisions  of  this  Section  under  subsection  1.1  or
31        subsection 3(c) of this Section and that becomes  subject
32        to  the  CAAPP solely due to a change in operation at the
33        source  shall  submit  its  complete  CAAPP   application
34        consistent  with this subsection at least 180 days before
 
                            -29-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        commencing operation in accordance  with  the  change  in
 2        operation.
 3             y.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
 4        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
 5        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
 6        necessary to implement this subsection.

 7        6.  Prohibitions.
 8             a.  It shall be unlawful for any person  to  violate
 9        any  terms  or  conditions  of a permit issued under this
10        Section, to operate any CAAPP source except in compliance
11        with a permit issued by the Agency under this Section  or
12        to  violate any other applicable requirements.  All terms
13        and conditions of a permit issued under this Section  are
14        enforceable  by  USEPA  and  citizens under the Clean Air
15        Act,  except  those,  if  any,  that   are   specifically
16        designated  as  not  being  federally  enforceable in the
17        permit pursuant to paragraph 7(m) of this Section.
18             b.  After the applicable  CAAPP  permit  or  renewal
19        application  submittal date, as specified in subsection 5
20        of this Section, no person shall operate a  CAAPP  source
21        without  a  CAAPP permit unless the complete CAAPP permit
22        or renewal application for such source  has  been  timely
23        submitted to the Agency.
24             c.  No  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
25        cause or threaten or allow the continued operation of  an
26        emission  source  during  malfunction or breakdown of the
27        emission  source  or  related   air   pollution   control
28        equipment  if  such  operation would cause a violation of
29        the standards or limitations applicable  to  the  source,
30        unless  the  CAAPP  permit granted to the source provides
31        for  such  operation  consistent  with   this   Act   and
32        applicable Board regulations.

33        7.  Permit Content.

16        monitoring,  reporting,  record  keeping,  and compliance
17        certification requirements are specified within the Clean
18        Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act, or
19        applicable  regulations,  such  requirements   shall   be
20        included  within  the CAAPP permit.  The Board shall have
21        authority  to  promulgate  additional  regulations  where
22        necessary to accomplish the purposes  of  the  Clean  Air
23        Act, this Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder.

                            -31-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             applicable    Board   regulations,   including   any
 2             procedures and methods promulgated by USEPA pursuant
 3             to Section 504(b) or Section 114 (a)(3) of the Clean
 4             Air Act.
 5                  ii.  Where the applicable requirement does  not
 6             require   periodic   testing   or   instrumental  or
 7             noninstrumental monitoring  (which  may  consist  of
 8             recordkeeping  designed  to  serve  as  monitoring),
 9             require  periodic  monitoring  sufficient  to  yield
10             reliable  data from the relevant time period that is
11             representative of the source's compliance  with  the
12             permit,  as  reported  pursuant  to paragraph (f) of
13             this  subsection.  The  Agency  may  determine  that
14             recordkeeping requirements are  sufficient  to  meet
15             the requirements of this subparagraph.
16                  iii.  As    necessary,   specify   requirements
17             concerning   the   use,   maintenance,   and    when
18             appropriate, installation of monitoring equipment or
19             methods.
20             e.  To meet the requirements of this subsection with

 2                  ii.    Retention of records of  all  monitoring
 3             data  and  support  information  for  a period of at
 4             least 5  years  from  the  date  of  the  monitoring
 5             sample,   measurement,   report,   or   application.
 6             Support  information  includes  all  calibration and
 7             maintenance records, original strip-chart recordings
 8             for  continuous  monitoring   instrumentation,   and
 9             copies of all reports required by the permit.
10             f.  To meet the requirements of this subsection with
11        respect  to  reporting,  the permit shall incorporate and
12        identify  all  applicable  reporting   requirements   and
13        require the following:
14                  i.  Submittal   of   reports  of  any  required
15             monitoring every 6 months.  More frequent submittals
16             may be requested by the Agency  if  such  submittals
17             are  necessary to assure compliance with this Act or
18             regulations promulgated  by  the  Board  thereunder.
19             All instances of deviations from permit requirements
20             must  be  clearly  identified  in such reports.  All
21             required reports must be certified by a  responsible
22             official   consistent  with  subsection  5  of  this
23             Section.
24                  ii.  Prompt reporting of deviations from permit
25             requirements, including those attributable to  upset
26             conditions  as  defined  in the permit, the probable
27             cause of such deviations, and any corrective actions
28             or preventive measures taken.
29             g.  Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10  of
30        this   Section  shall  include  a  condition  prohibiting
31        emissions  exceeding  any  allowances  that  the   source

 2             h.  All  CAAPP  permits  shall  state  that,   where
 3        another  applicable  requirement  of the Clean Air Act is
 4        more  stringent  than  any  applicable   requirement   of
 5        regulations  promulgated  under Title IV of the Clean Air
 6        Act, both  provisions  shall  be  incorporated  into  the
 7        permit and shall be State and federally enforceable.
 8             i.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
 9        this Section  shall  include  a  severability  clause  to
10        ensure  the  continued  validity  of  the  various permit
11        requirements in the event of a challenge to any  portions
12        of the permit.
13             j.  The following shall apply with respect to owners
14        or operators requesting a permit shield:
15                  i.  The Agency shall include in a CAAPP permit,
16             when requested by an applicant pursuant to paragraph
17             5(p)  of  this  Section,  a  provision  stating that
18             compliance with the conditions of the  permit  shall
19             be  deemed  compliance  with applicable requirements
20             which are applicable as of the date  of  release  of
21             the proposed permit, provided that:
22                       A.  The    applicable    requirement    is
23                  specifically identified within the permit; or
24                       B.  The  Agency  in  acting  on  the CAAPP
25                  application or revision determines  in  writing
26                  that other requirements specifically identified
27                  are  not  applicable  to  the  source,  and the
28                  permit includes that determination or a concise
29                  summary thereof.
30                  ii.  The permit shall identify the requirements
31             for which the source is shielded.  The shield  shall
32             not  extend  to  applicable  requirements  which are
33             promulgated  after  the  date  of  release  of   the
34             proposed  permit unless the permit has been modified

 1             to reflect such new requirements.
 2                  iii.  A CAAPP permit which does  not  expressly
 3             indicate  the existence of a permit shield shall not
 4             provide such a shield.
 5                  iv.  Nothing in this paragraph or  in  a  CAAPP
 6             permit shall alter or affect the following:

12                  requirements  prior to or at the time of permit
13                  issuance.
14                       C.  The  applicable  requirements  of  the
15                  acid  rain  program  consistent  with   Section
16                  408(a) of the Clean Air Act.
17                       D.  The   ability   of   USEPA  to  obtain
18                  information from a source pursuant  to  Section
19                  114 (inspections, monitoring, and entry) of the
20                  Clean Air Act.
21             k.  Each  CAAPP  permit  shall  include an emergency
22        provision providing an affirmative defense  of  emergency
23        to    an    action   brought   for   noncompliance   with
24        technology-based  emission  limitations  under  a   CAAPP

30                  ii.  The  permitted  facility  was  at the time
31             being properly operated.
32                  iii.  The permittee  submitted  notice  of  the
33             emergency to the Agency within 2 working days of the
34             time  when emission limitations were exceeded due to
 
                            -35-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             the emergency.  This notice must contain a  detailed
 2             description  of  the  emergency,  any steps taken to
 3             mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
 4                  iv.  During the period  of  the  emergency  the
 5             permittee  took  all  reasonable  steps  to minimize
 6             levels  of  emissions  that  exceeded  the  emission
 7             limitations,  standards,  or  requirements  in   the
 8             permit.
 9             For  purposes  of this subsection, "emergency" means
10        any  situation  arising  from   sudden   and   reasonably
11        unforeseeable  events  beyond  the control of the source,
12        such as an act of God, that requires immediate corrective
13        action to restore normal operation, and that  causes  the
14        source  to  exceed a technology-based emission limitation
15        under  the  permit,  due  to  unavoidable  increases   in
16        emissions  attributable  to  the emergency.  An emergency
17        shall not include noncompliance to the extent  caused  by
18        improperly   designed  equipment,  lack  of  preventative
19        maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operation
20        error.
21             In  any  enforcement   proceeding,   the   permittee
22        seeking  to  establish the occurrence of an emergency has
23        the burden of proof.  This provision is  in  addition  to
24        any   emergency  or  upset  provision  contained  in  any
25        applicable requirement.  This provision does not  relieve
26        a  permittee  of any reporting obligations under existing
27        federal or state laws or regulations.
28             l.  The Agency shall include in each  permit  issued
29        under subsection 10 of this Section:
30                  i.  Terms   and   conditions   for   reasonably
31             anticipated  operating  scenarios  identified by the
32             source in its application.   The  permit  terms  and
33             conditions  for  each  such operating scenario shall
34             meet   all   applicable   requirements    and    the
 
                            -36-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             requirements of this Section.
 2                       A.  Under  this  subparagraph,  the source
 3                  must record in a log at the permitted  facility
 4                  a  record  of  the  scenario  under which it is
 5                  operating  contemporaneously  with   making   a
 6                  change from one operating scenario to another.
 7                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
 8                  paragraph  7(j) of this Section shall extend to
 9                  all  terms  and  conditions  under  each   such
10                  operating scenario.
11                  ii.  Where requested by an applicant, all terms
12             and  conditions  allowing  for  trading of emissions
13             increases and decreases between  different  emission
14             units  at  the  CAAPP source, to the extent that the
15             applicable requirements provide for trading of  such
16             emissions   increases   and   decreases   without  a
17             case-by-case approval of each emissions trade.  Such
18             terms and conditions:
19                       A.  Shall include all terms required under
20                  this subsection to determine compliance;
21                       B.  Must meet all applicable requirements;
22                       C.  Shall   extend   the   permit   shield
23                  described in paragraph 7(j) of this Section  to
24                  all   terms  and  conditions  that  allow  such
25                  increases and decreases in emissions.
26             m.  The Agency shall specifically designate  as  not
27        being  federally  enforceable under the Clean Air Act any
28        terms and conditions included in the permit that are  not
29        specifically  required under the Clean Air Act or federal
30        regulations promulgated thereunder. Terms  or  conditions
31        so  designated  shall  be subject to all applicable state
32        requirements, except the  requirements  of  subsection  7
33        (other  than this paragraph, paragraph q of subsection 7,
34        subsections 8 through 11, and subsections 13  through  16

 1        of  this Section. The Agency shall, however, include such
 2        terms and conditions in the CAAPP permit  issued  to  the
 3        source.
 4             n.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
 5        this Section shall specify and reference  the  origin  of
 6        and  authority  for  each term or condition, and identify
 7        any difference in form  as  compared  to  the  applicable
 8        requirement upon which the term or condition is based.
 9             o.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
10        this  Section  shall  include  provisions   stating   the
11        following:
12                  i.  Duty  to comply.  The permittee must comply
13             with all terms and conditions of the  CAAPP  permit.
14             Any  permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of
15             the Clean Air Act and the Act, and  is  grounds  for
16             any  or  all  of the following:  enforcement action;
17             permit termination, revocation  and  reissuance,  or
18             modification;   or   denial   of  a  permit  renewal
19             application.
20                  ii.  Need to halt  or  reduce  activity  not  a
21             defense.   It shall not be a defense for a permittee
22             in an enforcement action that  it  would  have  been
23             necessary  to  halt or reduce the permitted activity
24             in order to maintain compliance with the  conditions
25             of this permit.
26                  iii.  Permit   actions.    The  permit  may  be
27             modified,  revoked,  reopened,  and   reissued,   or
28             terminated   for   cause   in  accordance  with  the
29             applicable subsections of Section 39.5 of this  Act.
30             The  filing  of  a  request  by  the permittee for a
31             permit modification, revocation and  reissuance,  or
32             termination, or of a notification of planned changes
33             or  anticipated  noncompliance  does  not  stay  any
34             permit condition.

 1                  iv.  Property  rights.   The  permit  does  not
 2             convey  any  property  rights  of  any  sort, or any
 3             exclusive privilege.
 4                  v.  Duty to provide information.  The permittee
 5             shall furnish to the Agency within a reasonable time
 6             specified by the Agency  any  information  that  the
 7             Agency  may  request in writing to determine whether
 8             cause exists for modifying, revoking and  reissuing,
 9             or terminating the permit or to determine compliance
10             with  the permit.  Upon request, the permittee shall
11             also  furnish  to  the  Agency  copies  of   records
12             required   to   be   kept  by  the  permit  or,  for
13             information  claimed   to   be   confidential,   the
14             permittee may furnish such records directly to USEPA
15             along with a claim of confidentiality.
16                  vi.  Duty  to pay fees.  The permittee must pay
17             fees to the Agency consistent with the fee  schedule
18             approved  pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section,
19             and submit any information relevant thereto.
20                  vii.  Emissions trading.   No  permit  revision
21             shall be required for increases in emissions allowed
22             under  any  approved economic incentives, marketable
23             permits,  emissions  trading,  and   other   similar
24             programs  or processes for changes that are provided
25             for in the permit and that  are  authorized  by  the
26             applicable requirement.

 4             regulations.
 5                  ii.  Inspection  and  entry  requirements  that
 6             necessitate  that,  upon presentation of credentials
 7             and other documents as may be required by law and in
 8             accordance  with  constitutional  limitations,   the
 9             permittee  shall  allow the Agency, or an authorized
10             representative to perform the following:
11                       A.  Enter upon  the  permittee's  premises

18        recommendations for the proposed permit that an  affected
19        State  submitted  during  the  public  or  affected State
20        review period.  The notice  shall  include  the  Agency's
21        reasons  for  not  accepting  the  recommendations.   The
22        Agency is not required to accept recommendations that are
23        not based on applicable requirements or the  requirements
24        of this Section.
25             e.  The  Agency  shall  make available to the public
26        any CAAPP permit application, compliance plan  (including
27        the  schedule of compliance), CAAPP permit, and emissions
28        or compliance monitoring report.  If an owner or operator
29        of a CAAPP  source  is  required  to  submit  information
30        entitled to protection from disclosure under Section 7(a)
31        or  Section  7.1 of this Act, the owner or operator shall
32        submit such information separately.  The requirements  of
33        Section  7(a)  or  Section 7.1 of this Act shall apply to
34        such information, which shall not be included in a  CAAPP
 
                            -43-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        permit  unless  required by law.  The contents of a CAAPP
 2        permit shall not be entitled to protection under  Section
 3        7(a) or Section 7.1 of this Act.
 4             f.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
 5        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
 6        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
 7        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 8        9.  USEPA Notice and Objection.
 9             a.  The Agency shall provide to USEPA for its review
10        a  copy  of  each  CAAPP   application   (including   any
11        application  for permit modification), statement of basis
12        as provided in paragraph 8(b) of this  Section,  proposed
13        CAAPP  permit,  CAAPP permit, and, if the Agency does not
14        incorporate any affected  State's  recommendations  on  a
15        proposed  CAAPP  permit,  a  written  statement  of  this
16        decision   and   its   reasons   for  not  accepting  the
17        recommendations, except as otherwise provided in this Act
18        or by agreement with USEPA.  To the  extent  practicable,
19        the  preceding  information shall be provided in computer
20        readable format compatible with USEPA's national database
21        management system.
22             b.  The Agency shall not issue  the  proposed  CAAPP
23        permit  if  USEPA  objects  in  writing within 45 days of
24        receipt of the proposed CAAPP permit  and  all  necessary
25        supporting information.
26             c.  If  USEPA  objects in writing to the issuance of
27        the proposed CAAPP permit within the 45-day  period,  the
28        Agency  shall  respond  in  writing  and  may  revise and
29        resubmit the proposed CAAPP permit  in  response  to  the
30        stated  objection, to the extent supported by the record,
31        within 90 days after the date of the objection.  Prior to
32        submitting a revised permit to USEPA,  the  Agency  shall
33        provide  the applicant and any person who participated in
34        the public comment process, pursuant to subsection  8  of
 
                            -44-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        this  Section,  with  a  10-day  period to comment on any
 2        revision which the Agency is proposing  to  make  to  the
 3        permit  in  response  to  USEPA's objection in accordance
 4        with Agency procedures.
 5             d.  Any  USEPA  objection  under  this   subsection,
 6        according  to the Clean Air Act, will include a statement
 7        of reasons for the objection and  a  description  of  the
 8        terms and conditions that must be in the permit, in order
 9        to  adequately  respond to the objections.  Grounds for a
10        USEPA objection include the failure  of  the  Agency  to:
11        (1)  submit  the  items  and  notices required under this
12        subsection; (2) submit any other information necessary to
13        adequately review  the  proposed  CAAPP  permit;  or  (3)
14        process  the  permit  under  subsection 8 of this Section
15        except for minor permit modifications.
16             e.  If USEPA does not object in writing to  issuance
17        of  a  permit  under  this  subsection,  any  person  may
18        petition  USEPA  within  60  days after expiration of the
19        45-day review period to make such objection.
20             f.  If the permit has not yet been issued and  USEPA
21        objects  to  the  permit  as  a result of a petition, the
22        Agency shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection
23        has been resolved. The  Agency  shall  provide  a  10-day
24        comment  period  in  accordance  with paragraph c of this
25        subsection.  A  petition  does  not,  however,  stay  the
26        effectiveness of a permit  or  its  requirements  if  the
27        permit  was  issued after expiration of the 45-day review
28        period and prior to a USEPA objection.
29             g.  If  the  Agency  has  issued  a   permit   after
30        expiration  of  the  45-day  review  period  and prior to
31        receipt of a USEPA objection  under  this  subsection  in
32        response  to a petition submitted pursuant to paragraph e
33        of this subsection, the Agency may, upon  receipt  of  an
34        objection  from  USEPA, revise and resubmit the permit to
 
                            -45-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        USEPA pursuant  to  this  subsection  after  providing  a
 2        10-day  comment  period in accordance with paragraph c of
 3        this subsection. If the Agency fails to submit a  revised
 4        permit  in response to the objection, USEPA shall modify,
 5        terminate or revoke the permit.  In any case, the  source
 6        will  not  be  in  violation  of  the requirement to have
 7        submitted a timely and complete application.
 8             h.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
 9        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
10        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
11        necessary, to implement this subsection.

12        10.  Final Agency Action.
13             a.  The  Agency  shall  issue a CAAPP permit, permit
14        modification, or permit renewal if all of  the  following
15        conditions are met:
16                  i.  The  applicant has submitted a complete and
17             certified   application   for   a   permit,   permit
18             modification,  or  permit  renewal  consistent  with
19             subsections 5 and 14 of this Section, as applicable,
20             and applicable regulations.
21                  ii.  The  applicant  has  submitted  with   its
22             complete  application an approvable compliance plan,
23             including  a  schedule  for  achieving   compliance,
24             consistent  with  subsection  5  of this Section and
25             applicable regulations.
26                  iii.  The applicant has timely  paid  the  fees
27             required  pursuant  to subsection 18 of this Section
28             and applicable regulations.
29                  iv.  The Agency has received a  complete  CAAPP
30             application  and,  if  necessary,  has requested and
31             received additional information from  the  applicant
32             consistent  with  subsection  5  of this Section and
33             applicable regulations.
34                  v.  The Agency has complied with all applicable
 
                            -46-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             provisions  regarding  public  notice  and  affected
 2             State review consistent with subsection  8  of  this
 3             Section and applicable regulations.
 4                  vi.  The  Agency  has  provided  a copy of each
 5             CAAPP application, or summary thereof,  pursuant  to
 6             agreement  with  USEPA  and  proposed  CAAPP  permit
 7             required  under  subsection  9  of  this  Section to
 8             USEPA, and USEPA has not objected to the issuance of
 9             the permit in accordance with the Clean Air Act  and
10             40 CFR Part 70.
11             b.  The  Agency  shall  have the authority to deny a
12        CAAPP permit, permit modification, or permit  renewal  if
13        the  applicant  has not complied with the requirements of
14        paragraphs (a)(i)-(a)(iv) of this subsection or if  USEPA
15        objects to its issuance.
16             c. i.  Prior  to  denial  of  a CAAPP permit, permit
17             modification, or permit renewal under this  Section,
18             the   Agency  shall  notify  the  applicant  of  the
19             possible denial and the reasons for the denial.
20                  ii.  Within  such  notice,  the  Agency   shall
21             specify  an  appropriate date by which the applicant
22             shall adequately respond  to  the  Agency's  notice.
23             Such date shall not exceed 15 days from the date the
24             notification  is  received  by  the  applicant.  The
25             Agency may grant a  reasonable  extension  for  good
26             cause shown.
27                  iii.  Failure  by  the  applicant to adequately
28             respond by the date specified in the notification or
29             by any granted extension date shall be  grounds  for
30             denial of the permit.
31                  For purposes of obtaining judicial review under
32             Sections  40.2  and 41 of this Act, the Agency shall
33             provide to  USEPA  and  each  applicant,  and,  upon
34             request,   to   affected   States,  any  person  who
 
                            -47-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             participated in the public comment process, and  any
 2             other person who could obtain  judicial review under
 3             Sections  40.2  and  41  of this Act, a copy of each
 4             CAAPP permit or notification of denial pertaining to
 5             that party.
 6             d.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
 7        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
 8        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
 9        necessary, to implement this subsection.

10        11.  General Permits.
11             a.  The  Agency  may issue a general permit covering
12        numerous similar sources, except for affected sources for
13        acid deposition unless otherwise provided in  regulations
14        promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
15             b.  The   Agency  shall  identify,  in  any  general
16        permit, criteria by which sources  may  qualify  for  the
17        general permit.
18             c.  CAAPP  sources  that would qualify for a general
19        permit must apply for coverage under  the  terms  of  the
20        general   permit   or  must  apply  for  a  CAAPP  permit
21        consistent  with  subsection  5  of  this   Section   and
22        applicable regulations.
23             d.  The  Agency shall comply with the public comment
24        and hearing provisions of this Section  as  well  as  the
25        USEPA  and  affected  State  review  procedures  prior to
26        issuance of a general permit.
27             e.  When  granting  a  subsequent   request   by   a
28        qualifying CAAPP source for coverage under the terms of a
29        general  permit,  the  Agency  shall  not  be required to
30        repeat the public notice  and  comment  procedures.   The
31        granting  of such request shall not be considered a final
32        permit action for purposes of judicial review.
33             f.  The Agency may not issue  a  general  permit  to
34        cover  any  discrete  emission  unit at a CAAPP source if
 
                            -48-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        another CAAPP permit covers emission units at the source.
 2             g.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
 3        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
 4        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
 5        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 6        12.  Operational Flexibility.
 7             a.  An  owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
 8        changes at the CAAPP source  without  requiring  a  prior
 9        permit  revision,  consistent  with subparagraphs (a) (i)
10        through (a) (iii) of this  subsection,  so  long  as  the
11        changes  are  not  modifications  under  any provision of
12        Title I of the Clean Air Act and they do not  exceed  the
13        emissions  allowable  under the permit (whether expressed
14        therein as a rate of  emissions  or  in  terms  of  total
15        emissions),  provided  that  the owner or operator of the
16        CAAPP source provides USEPA and the Agency  with  written
17        notification as required below in advance of the proposed
18        changes,  which  shall  be  a  minimum  of 7 days, unless
19        otherwise  provided   by   the   Agency   in   applicable
20        regulations regarding emergencies.  The owner or operator
21        of  a  CAAPP source and the Agency shall each attach such
22        notice to their copy of the relevant permit.
23                  i.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source  may
24             make  Section  502 (b) (10) changes without a permit
25             revision, if the changes are not modifications under
26             any provision of Title I of the Clean  Air  Act  and
27             the  changes  do  not exceed the emissions allowable
28             under the permit (whether  expressed  therein  as  a
29             rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions).
30                       A.  For  each  such  change,  the  written
31                  notification  required  above  shall  include a
32                  brief description  of  the  change  within  the
33                  source,  the  date  on  which  the  change will
34                  occur, any change in emissions, and any  permit
 
                            -49-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1                  term  or condition that is no longer applicable
 2                  as a result of the change.
 3                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
 4                  paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall not  apply
 5                  to   any   change   made   pursuant   to   this
 6                  subparagraph.
 7                  ii.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may
 8             trade  increases  and  decreases in emissions in the
 9             CAAPP source, where  the  applicable  implementation
10             plan  provides  for  such  emission  trades  without
11             requiring  a  permit  revision.   This  provision is
12             available in those cases where the permit  does  not
13             already provide for such emissions trading.
14                       A.  Under  this  subparagraph (a)(ii), the
15                  written  notification  required   above   shall
16                  include  such information as may be required by
17                  the provision in the applicable  implementation
18                  plan authorizing the emissions trade, including
19                  at  a  minimum,  when the proposed changes will
20                  occur, a description of each such  change,  any
21                  change  in  emissions,  the permit requirements
22                  with which the source  will  comply  using  the
23                  emissions  trading provisions of the applicable
24                  implementation plan, and the pollutants emitted
25                  subject to the  emissions  trade.   The  notice
26                  shall  also  refer  to  the  provisions  in the
27                  applicable implementation plan with  which  the
28                  source   will   comply   and  provide  for  the
29                  emissions trade.
30                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
31                  paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall not  apply
32                  to   any   change   made   pursuant   to   this
33                  subparagraph  (a)  (ii).    Compliance with the
34                  permit requirements that the source  will  meet
 
                            -50-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1                  using  the  emissions trade shall be determined
 2                  according to the requirements of the applicable
 3                  implementation plan authorizing  the  emissions
 4                  trade.
 5                  iii.  If  requested within a CAAPP application,
 6             the Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains
 7             terms and conditions, including all  terms  required
 8             under  subsection  7  of  this  Section to determine
 9             compliance, allowing for the  trading  of  emissions
10             increases  and  decreases at the CAAPP source solely
11             for   the    purpose    of    complying    with    a
12             federally-enforceable    emissions   cap   that   is
13             established in the permit independent  of  otherwise
14             applicable requirements.  The owner or operator of a
15             CAAPP  source shall include in its CAAPP application
16             proposed replicable procedures and permit terms that
17             ensure the emissions  trades  are  quantifiable  and
18             enforceable.    The   permit   shall   also  require
19             compliance with all applicable requirements.
20                       A.  Under this subparagraph (a)(iii),  the
21                  written notification required above shall state
22                  when  the  change will occur and shall describe
23                  the changes in emissions that will  result  and
24                  how  these increases and decreases in emissions
25                  will comply with the terms  and  conditions  of
26                  the permit.
27                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
28                  paragraph  7(j) of this Section shall extend to
29                  terms and conditions that allow such  increases
30                  and decreases in emissions.
31             b.  An  owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
32        changes that are  not  addressed  or  prohibited  by  the
33        permit,  other  than  those  which  are  subject  to  any
34        requirements  under  Title IV of the Clean Air Act or are
 
                            -51-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        modifications under any provisions  of  Title  I  of  the
 2        Clean  Air  Act, without a permit revision, in accordance
 3        with the following requirements:
 4                  (i)  Each such change shall meet all applicable
 5             requirements and  shall  not  violate  any  existing
 6             permit term or condition;
 7                  (ii)  Sources   must   provide  contemporaneous
 8             written notice to the Agency and USEPA of each  such
 9             change,   except   for   changes   that  qualify  as
10             insignificant under provisions adopted by the Agency
11             or the Board. Such  written  notice  shall  describe
12             each  such change, including the date, any change in
13             emissions, pollutants emitted,  and  any  applicable
14             requirement  that  would  apply  as  a result of the
15             change;
16                  (iii)  The change shall  not  qualify  for  the
17             shield  described in paragraph 7(j) of this Section;
18             and
19                  (iv)  The  permittee  shall   keep   a   record
20             describing changes made at the source that result in
21             emissions of a regulated air pollutant subject to an
22             applicable   Clean  Air  Act  requirement,  but  not
23             otherwise  regulated  under  the  permit,  and   the
24             emissions resulting from those changes.
25             c.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
26        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
27        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
28        necessary to implement this subsection.

29        13.  Administrative Permit Amendments.
30             a.  The Agency shall take final action on a  request
31        for  an administrative permit amendment within 60 days of
32        receipt  of  the  request.    Neither   notice   nor   an
33        opportunity  for  public and affected State comment shall
34        be required for the Agency to incorporate such revisions,

 1        provided it designates the  permit  revisions  as  having
 2        been made pursuant to this subsection.
 3             b.  The  Agency  shall  submit a copy of the revised
 4        permit to USEPA.
 5             c.  For  purposes   of   this   Section   the   term
 6        "administrative  permit amendment" shall be defined as  a
 7        permit revision that can accomplish one or  more  of  the
 8        changes described below:
 9                  i.  Corrects typographical errors;
10                  ii.  Identifies  a change in the name, address,
11             or phone number of  any  person  identified  in  the
12             permit,  or  provides a similar minor administrative
13             change at the source;
14                  iii.  Requires  more  frequent  monitoring   or
15             reporting by the permittee;
16                  iv.  Allows   for  a  change  in  ownership  or
17             operational control of a  source  where  the  Agency
18             determines  that  no  other  change in the permit is
19             necessary,  provided  that   a   written   agreement
20             containing  a  specific  date for transfer of permit
21             responsibility, coverage, and liability between  the
22             current and new permittees has been submitted to the
23             Agency;
24                  v.  Incorporates  into  the  CAAPP  permit  the
25             requirements  from  preconstruction  review  permits
26             authorized  under a USEPA-approved program, provided
27             the  program   meets   procedural   and   compliance
28             requirements   substantially   equivalent  to  those
29             contained in this Section;
30                  vi.  (Blank); or
31                  vii.  Any other type of change which USEPA  has
32             determined  as  part  of  the  approved CAAPP permit
33             program to be similar  to  those  included  in  this
34             subsection.

 1             d.  The  Agency  shall,  upon  taking  final  action
 2        granting  a  request   for   an   administrative   permit
 3        amendment,   allow  coverage  by  the  permit  shield  in
 4        paragraph 7(j) of this Section for administrative  permit
 5        amendments  made  pursuant to subparagraph (c)(v) of this
 6        subsection  which  meet  the  relevant  requirements  for
 7        significant permit modifications.
 8             e.  Permit revisions  and  modifications,  including
 9        administrative   amendments   and   automatic  amendments
10        (pursuant to Sections 408(b) and 403(d) of the Clean  Air
11        Act  or regulations promulgated thereunder), for purposes
12        of the acid rain portion of the permit shall be  governed
13        by  the  regulations  promulgated  under  Title IV of the
14        Clean Air Act.  Owners or operators of  affected  sources
15        for  acid  deposition shall have the flexibility to amend
16        their compliance plans as  provided  in  the  regulations
17        promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
18             f.  The  CAAPP  source  may  implement  the  changes
19        addressed  in  the  request  for an administrative permit
20        amendment immediately upon submittal of the request.
21             g.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
22        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
23        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
24        necessary, to implement this subsection.

25        14.  Permit Modifications.
26             a.  Minor permit modification procedures.
27                  i.  The    Agency   shall   review   a   permit
28             modification using the "minor  permit"  modification
29             procedures only for those permit modifications that:
30                       A.  Do    not   violate   any   applicable
31                  requirement;
32                       B.  Do not involve significant changes  to
33                  existing      monitoring,     reporting,     or
34                  recordkeeping requirements in the permit;
 
                            -54-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1                       C.  Do   not   require   a    case-by-case
 2                  determination  of  an  emission  limitation  or
 3                  other    standard,    or    a   source-specific
 4                  determination  of   ambient   impacts,   or   a
 5                  visibility or increment analysis;
 6                       D.  Do  not  seek to establish or change a
 7                  permit term or condition for which there is  no
 8                  corresponding  underlying requirement and which
 9                  avoids an applicable requirement to  which  the
10                  source  would otherwise be subject.  Such terms
11                  and conditions include:
12                            1.  A federally enforceable emissions
13                       cap assumed to avoid classification  as  a
14                       modification  under any provision of Title
15                       I of the Clean Air Act; and
16                            2.  An  alternative  emissions  limit
17                       approved    pursuant    to     regulations
18                       promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of the
19                       Clean Air Act;
20                       E.  Are   not   modifications   under  any
21                  provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and
22                       F.  Are not required to be processed as  a
23                  significant modification.
24                  ii.  Notwithstanding  subparagraphs  (a)(i) and
25             (b)(ii)   of   this   subsection,    minor    permit
26             modification  procedures  may  be  used  for  permit
27             modifications   involving   the   use   of  economic
28             incentives, marketable permits,  emissions  trading,
29             and  other  similar  approaches,  to the extent that
30             such  minor  permit  modification   procedures   are
31             explicitly    provided    for   in   an   applicable
32             implementation plan or  in  applicable  requirements
33             promulgated by USEPA.
34                  iii.  An  applicant requesting the use of minor
 
                            -55-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             permit  modification  procedures  shall   meet   the
 2             requirements  of  subsection  5  of this Section and
 3             shall include the following in its application:
 4                       A.  A  description  of  the  change,   the
 5                  emissions  resulting  from  the change, and any
 6                  new applicable requirements that will apply  if
 7                  the change occurs;
 8                       B.  The source's suggested draft permit;
 9                       C.  Certification    by    a   responsible
10                  official, consistent  with  paragraph  5(e)  of
11                  this  Section  and applicable regulations, that
12                  the proposed modification  meets  the  criteria
13                  for use of minor permit modification procedures
14                  and a request that such procedures be used; and
15                       D.  Completed  forms for the Agency to use
16                  to notify USEPA and affected States as required
17                  under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
18                  iv.  Within 5 working  days  of  receipt  of  a
19             complete permit modification application, the Agency
20             shall  notify  USEPA  and  affected  States  of  the
21             requested  permit  modification  in  accordance with
22             subsections 8 and 9 of  this  Section.   The  Agency
23             promptly   shall  send  any  notice  required  under
24             paragraph 8(d) of this Section to USEPA.
25                  v.  The Agency may not  issue  a  final  permit
26             modification  until  after  the 45-day review period
27             for USEPA or until USEPA  has  notified  the  Agency
28             that  USEPA  will  not object to the issuance of the
29             permit modification, whichever comes first, although
30             the Agency can approve the permit modification prior
31             to that  time.   Within  90  days  of  the  Agency's
32             receipt  of  an  application  under the minor permit
33             modification procedures or 15 days after the end  of
34             USEPA's  45-day  review period under subsection 9 of
 
                            -56-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             this Section, whichever is later, the Agency shall:
 2                       A.  Issue  the  permit   modification   as
 3                  proposed;
 4                       B.  Deny     the    permit    modification
 5                  application;
 6                       C.  Determine    that    the     requested
 7                  modification  does  not  meet  the minor permit
 8                  modification criteria and  should  be  reviewed
 9                  under  the significant modification procedures;
10                  or
11                       D.  Revise the draft  permit  modification
12                  and  transmit  to USEPA the new proposed permit
13                  modification as required  by  subsection  9  of
14                  this Section.
15                  vi.  Any  CAAPP  source  may  make  the  change
16             proposed    in   its   minor   permit   modification
17             application  immediately   after   it   files   such
18             application.   After  the  CAAPP  source  makes  the
19             change  allowed by the preceding sentence, and until
20             the Agency takes any of  the  actions  specified  in
21             subparagraphs  (a)(v)(A)  through  (a)(v)(C) of this
22             subsection, the source must  comply  with  both  the
23             applicable requirements governing the change and the
24             proposed  permit  terms and conditions.  During this
25             time period, the source need  not  comply  with  the
26             existing  permit  terms  and  conditions it seeks to
27             modify.  If the source  fails  to  comply  with  its
28             proposed  permit  terms  and  conditions during this
29             time  period,  the   existing   permit   terms   and
30             conditions  which it seeks to modify may be enforced
31             against it.
32                  vii.  The permit shield under subparagraph 7(j)
33             of this Section  may  not  extend  to  minor  permit
34             modifications.

 1                  viii.  If  a  construction  permit is required,
 2             pursuant  to  Section  39(a)   of   this   Act   and
 3             regulations  thereunder,  for a change for which the
 4             minor permit modification procedures are applicable,
 5             the source may request that the  processing  of  the
 6             construction permit application be consolidated with
 7             the  processing  of  the  application  for the minor
 8             permit modification.  In such cases, the  provisions
 9             of  this Section, including those within subsections
10             5, 8, and 9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on
11             such applications pursuant to subparagraph 14(a)(v).
12             The source may make the proposed change  immediately
13             after  filing  its  application for the minor permit
14             modification.  Nothing in  this  subparagraph  shall
15             otherwise  affect  the  requirements  and procedures
16             applicable to construction permits.
17             b.  Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications.
18                  i.  Where requested by an applicant within  its
19             application,  the  Agency  shall process groups of a
20             source's  applications  for  certain   modifications
21             eligible  for   minor permit modification processing
22             in accordance with the provisions of this  paragraph
23             (b).
24                  ii.  Permit  modifications  may be processed in
25             accordance with the procedures for group processing,
26             for those modifications:
27                       A.  Which  meet  the  criteria  for  minor
28                  permit    modification     procedures     under
29                  subparagraph 14(a)(i) of this Section; and
30                       B.  That collectively are below 10 percent
31                  of  the emissions allowed by the permit for the
32                  emissions unit for which change  is  requested,
33                  20  percent  of  the  applicable  definition of
34                  major source set forth in subsection 2 of  this

 1                  Section,  or  5  tons  per  year,  whichever is
 2                  least.
 3                  iii.  An applicant requesting the use of  group
 4             processing procedures shall meet the requirements of
 5             subsection  5  of this Section and shall include the
 6             following in its application:
 7                       A.  A  description  of  the  change,   the
 8                  emissions  resulting  from  the change, and any
 9                  new applicable requirements that will apply  if
10                  the change occurs.
11                       B.  The source's suggested draft permit.
12                       C.  Certification    by    a   responsible
13                  official consistent with paragraph 5(e) of this
14                  Section, that the proposed  modification  meets
15                  the   criteria  for  use  of  group  processing
16                  procedures and a request that  such  procedures
17                  be used.
18                       D.  A  list  of the source's other pending
19                  applications awaiting group processing,  and  a
20                  determination    of   whether   the   requested
21                  modification,  aggregated  with   these   other
22                  applications,  equals  or exceeds the threshold
23                  set  under  subparagraph  (b)(ii)(B)  of   this
24                  subsection.
25                       E.  Certification,     consistent     with
26                  paragraph  5(e),  that  the source has notified
27                  USEPA  of  the  proposed  modification.    Such
28                  notification   need   only   contain   a  brief
29                  description of the requested modification.
30                       F.  Completed forms for the Agency to  use
31                  to notify USEPA and affected states as required
32                  under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
33                  iv.  On  a quarterly basis or within 5 business
34             days of receipt of an application demonstrating that
 
                            -59-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             the aggregate of  a  source's  pending  applications
 2             equals  or  exceeds  the  threshold  level set forth
 3             within subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) of  this  subsection,
 4             whichever  is  earlier,  the  Agency  shall promptly
 5             notify USEPA and affected States  of  the  requested
 6             permit  modifications in accordance with subsections
 7             8 and 9 of this Section.  The Agency shall send  any
 8             notice required under paragraph 8(d) of this Section
 9             to USEPA.
10                  v.  The  provisions  of  subparagraph (a)(v) of
11             this  subsection  shall   apply   to   modifications
12             eligible  for  group  processing,  except  that  the
13             Agency  shall  take  one of the actions specified in
14             subparagraphs (a)(v)(A) through  (a)(v)(D)  of  this
15             subsection   within  180  days  of  receipt  of  the
16             application or 15 days  after  the  end  of  USEPA's
17             45-day  review  period  under  subsection  9 of this
18             Section, whichever is later.
19                  vi.  The provisions of subparagraph (a)(vi)  of
20             this  subsection  shall  apply  to modifications for
21             group processing.
22                  vii.  The provisions of paragraph 7(j) of  this
23             Section  shall  not  apply to modifications eligible
24             for group processing.
25             c.  Significant Permit Modifications.
26                  i.  Significant modification  procedures  shall
27             be  used  for  applications  requesting  significant
28             permit modifications and for those applications that
29             do  not qualify as either minor permit modifications
30             or as administrative permit amendments.
31                  ii.  Every  significant  change   in   existing
32             monitoring  permit  terms  or  conditions  and every
33             relaxation    of    reporting    or    recordkeeping
34             requirements shall  be  considered  significant.   A
 
                            -60-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             modification shall also be considered significant if
 2             in   the   judgment  of  the  Agency  action  on  an
 3             application for modification would require decisions
 4             to be made on technically  complex  issues.  Nothing
 5             herein  shall be construed to preclude the permittee
 6             from making changes  consistent  with  this  Section
 7             that  would  render existing permit compliance terms
 8             and conditions irrelevant.
 9                  iii.  Significant  permit  modifications   must
10             meet all the requirements of this Section, including
11             those   for   applications  (including  completeness
12             review), public participation,  review  by  affected
13             States,  and  review  by USEPA applicable to initial
14             permit issuance  and  permit  renewal.   The  Agency
15             shall   take  final  action  on  significant  permit
16             modifications within 9 months  after  receipt  of  a
17             complete application.
18             d.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
19        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
20        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
21        necessary, to implement this subsection.

22        15.  Reopenings for Cause by the Agency.
23             a.  Each   issued   CAAPP   permit   shall   include
24        provisions specifying  the  conditions  under  which  the
25        permit  will  be  reopened prior to the expiration of the
26        permit.  Such revisions shall be made as expeditiously as
27        practicable.   A  CAAPP  permit  shall  be  reopened  and
28        revised under any  of  the  following  circumstances,  in
29        accordance with procedures adopted by the Agency:
30                  i.  Additional requirements under the Clean Air
31             Act  become  applicable  to a major CAAPP source for
32             which 3 or more years remain on the original term of
33             the permit.  Such a reopening shall be completed not
34             later than 18 months after the promulgation  of  the
 
                            -61-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             applicable   requirement.    No   such  revision  is
 2             required if the effective date of the requirement is
 3             later than the date on which the permit  is  due  to
 4             expire.
 5                  ii.  Additional  requirements (including excess
 6             emissions  requirements)  become  applicable  to  an
 7             affected source for acid deposition under  the  acid
 8             rain  program.   Excess emissions offset plans shall
 9             be deemed to be incorporated into  the  permit  upon
10             approval by USEPA.
11                  iii.  The  Agency  or USEPA determines that the
12             permit  contains  a   material   mistake   or   that
13             inaccurate  statements were made in establishing the
14             emissions standards, limitations, or other terms  or
15             conditions of the permit.
16                  iv.  The  Agency  or  USEPA determines that the
17             permit  must  be  revised  or  revoked   to   assure
18             compliance with the applicable  requirements.
19             b.  In  the  event  that  the Agency determines that
20        there are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause,
21        consistent with paragraph a of this subsection, it  shall
22        file  a petition before the Board setting forth the basis
23        for such revocation.  In any such proceeding, the  Agency
24        shall  have  the  burden  of establishing that the permit
25        should be revoked under the standards set forth  in  this
26        Act  and the Clean Air Act.  Any such proceeding shall be
27        conducted  pursuant  to  the   Board's   procedures   for
28        adjudicatory  hearings  and  the  Board  shall render its
29        decision within 120 days of the filing of  the  petition.
30        The  Agency shall take final action to revoke and reissue
31        a CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order.
32             c.  Proceedings regarding a  reopened  CAAPP  permit
33        shall  follow  the  same  procedures  as apply to initial
34        permit issuance and shall affect only those parts of  the
 
                            -62-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        permit for which cause to reopen exists.
 2             d.  Reopenings   under   paragraph   (a)   of   this
 3        subsection shall not be initiated before a notice of such
 4        intent  is  provided to the CAAPP source by the Agency at
 5        least 30 days in advance of the date that the  permit  is
 6        to  be  reopened,  except  that  the Agency may provide a
 7        shorter time period in the case of an emergency.
 8             e.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
 9        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
10        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
11        necessary, to implement this subsection.

12        16.  Reopenings for Cause by USEPA.
13             a.  When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate,
14        modify,  or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant to
15        subsection 15 of this Section,  and  thereafter  notifies
16        the  Agency and the permittee of such finding in writing,
17        the Agency shall forward to USEPA  and  the  permittee  a
18        proposed  determination  of termination, modification, or
19        revocation and reissuance as appropriate,  in  accordance
20        with   paragraph  b  of  this  subsection.  The  Agency's
21        proposed determination shall be in  accordance  with  the
22        record,   the  Clean  Air  Act,  regulations  promulgated
23        thereunder,  this   Act   and   regulations   promulgated
24        thereunder.  Such proposed determination shall not affect
25        the permit  or  constitute  a  final  permit  action  for
26        purposes  of  this  Act or the Administrative Review Law.
27        The  Agency  shall  forward  to   USEPA   such   proposed
28        determination   within  90  days  after  receipt  of  the
29        notification from USEPA. If additional time is  necessary
30        to  submit  the  proposed determination, the Agency shall
31        request a 90-day extension from USEPA  and  shall  submit
32        the  proposed determination within 180 days of receipt of
33        notification from USEPA.
34                  b. i.  Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA
 
                            -63-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             of a proposed determination to terminate  or  revoke
 2             and  reissue  the  permit,  the  Agency shall file a
 3             petition before  the  Board  setting  forth  USEPA's
 4             objection,  the permit record, the Agency's proposed
 5             determination,  and  the   justification   for   its
 6             proposed  determination.  The  Board shall conduct a
 7             hearing pursuant to the rules prescribed by  Section
 8             32  of this Act, and the burden of proof shall be on
 9             the Agency.
10                  ii.  After due consideration of the written and
11             oral statements, the testimony  and  arguments  that
12             shall be submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue
13             and   enter   an  interim  order  for  the  proposed
14             determination, which shall set forth all changes, if
15             any,   required    in    the    Agency's    proposed
16             determination.  The  interim order shall comply with
17             the requirements for final orders as  set  forth  in
18             Section 33 of this Act. Issuance of an interim order
19             by  the  Board  under this paragraph, however, shall
20             not affect the permit status and does not constitute
21             a final action for  purposes  of  this  Act  or  the
22             Administrative Review Law.
23                  iii.  The  Board  shall  cause  a  copy  of its
24             interim order to be served upon all parties  to  the
25             proceeding  as  well as upon USEPA. The Agency shall
26             submit  the  proposed  determination  to  USEPA   in
27             accordance with the Board's Interim Order within 180
28             days after receipt of the notification from USEPA.
29             c.  USEPA shall review the proposed determination to
30        terminate, modify,  or  revoke  and  reissue  the  permit
31        within 90 days of receipt.
32                  i.  When    USEPA    reviews    the    proposed
33             determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
34             does  not  object, the Board shall, within 7 days of
 
                            -64-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             receipt of USEPA's final approval, enter the interim
 2             order as a final  order.  The  final  order  may  be
 3             appealed  as  provided  by Title XI of this Act. The
 4             Agency shall take final action  in  accordance  with
 5             the Board's final order.
 6                  ii.  When    USEPA    reviews   such   proposed
 7             determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
 8             objects, the Agency shall submit  USEPA's  objection
 9             and  the Agency's comments and recommendation on the
10             objection to the  Board  and  permittee.  The  Board
11             shall  review  its  interim  order  in  response  to
12             USEPA's  objection  and  the  Agency's  comments and
13             recommendation and issue a final order in accordance
14             with Sections 32 and 33  of  this  Act.  The  Agency
15             shall,   within   90  days  after  receipt  of  such
16             objection,   respond   to   USEPA's   objection   in
17             accordance with the Board's final order.
18                  iii.  When   USEPA   reviews   such    proposed
19             determination  to  modify  and  objects,  the Agency
20             shall,  within  90  days  after   receipt   of   the
21             objection,  resolve  the  objection  and  modify the
22             permit in accordance with USEPA's  objection,  based
23             upon  the  record,  the  Clean  Air Act, regulations
24             promulgated thereunder, this  Act,  and  regulations
25             promulgated thereunder.
26             d.  If  the  Agency  fails  to  submit  the proposed
27        determination pursuant to paragraph a of this  subsection
28        or  fails  to  resolve  any  USEPA  objection pursuant to
29        paragraph c of this  subsection,  USEPA  will  terminate,
30        modify, or revoke and reissue the permit.
31             e.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
32        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
33        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
34        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 1        17.  Title IV; Acid Rain Provisions.
 2             a.  The  Agency   shall   act   on   initial   CAAPP
 3        applications  for affected sources for acid deposition in
 4        accordance with this Section and Title V of the Clean Air
 5        Act and regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  except  as
 6        modified by Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations
 7        promulgated  thereunder.   The Agency shall issue initial
 8        CAAPP permits to the affected sources for acid deposition
 9        which shall become effective no earlier than  January  1,
10        1995,  and which shall terminate on December 31, 1999, in
11        accordance with this Section.  Subsequent  CAAPP  permits
12        issued  to  affected sources for acid deposition shall be
13        issued for a fixed term of 5 years. Title IV of the Clean
14        Air Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, including
15        but not limited to 40 C.F.R. Part 72, as now or hereafter
16        amended, are applicable to  and  enforceable  under  this
17        Act.
18             b.  A   designated  representative  of  an  affected
19        source for acid deposition  shall  submit  a  timely  and
20        complete  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  application  and
21        compliance  plan to the Agency, not later than January 1,
22        1996, that meets the requirements of Titles IV and  V  of
23        the  Clean  Air Act and regulations. The Agency shall act
24        on  the  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  application   and
25        compliance plan in accordance with this Section and Title
26        V  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and  regulations promulgated
27        thereunder, except as modified by Title IV of  the  Clean
28        Air  Act  and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.  The
29        Agency  shall  issue  the Phase II acid rain permit to an
30        affected  source  for  acid  deposition  no  later   than
31        December  31,  1997,  which  shall  become  effective  on
32        January  1, 2000, in accordance with this Section, except
33        as modified  by  Title  IV  and  regulations  promulgated
34        thereunder;  provided  that the designated representative
 
                            -66-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        of the source submitted a timely and  complete  Phase  II
 2        permit application and compliance plan to the Agency that
 3        meets the requirements of Title IV and V of the Clean Air
 4        Act and regulations.
 5             c.  Each   Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  issued  in
 6        accordance with this subsection shall have a  fixed  term
 7        of  5 years. Except as provided in paragraph b above, the
 8        Agency shall issue or deny a Phase II  acid  rain  permit
 9        within  18 months of receiving a complete Phase II permit
10        application and compliance plan.
11             d.  A designated representative of a  new  unit,  as
12        defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, shall submit
13        a   timely   and  complete  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit
14        application  and   compliance   plan   that   meets   the
15        requirements  of Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act and
16        its regulations. The Agency shall act on the  new  unit's
17        Phase II acid rain permit application and compliance plan
18        in  accordance with this Section and Title V of the Clean
19        Air Act and its regulations, except as modified by  Title
20        IV  of  the Clean Air Act and its regulations. The Agency
21        shall reopen the new unit's CAAPP  permit  for  cause  to
22        incorporate  the  approved  Phase  II acid rain permit in
23        accordance with this Section.  The  Phase  II  acid  rain
24        permit  for  the new unit shall become effective no later
25        than the date required under Title IV of  the  Clean  Air
26        Act and its regulations.
27             e.  A   designated  representative  of  an  affected
28        source for acid deposition  shall  submit  a  timely  and
29        complete  Title  IV NOx permit application to the Agency,
30        not  later  than  January  1,  1998,   that   meets   the
31        requirements  of Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act and
32        its regulations. The Agency shall  reopen  the  Phase  II
33        acid  rain  permit for cause and incorporate the approved
34        NOx provisions into the Phase II  acid  rain  permit  not
 
                            -67-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        later  than  January  1,  1999,  in  accordance with this
 2        Section, except as modified by Title IV of the Clean  Air
 3        Act   and   regulations   promulgated   thereunder.  Such
 4        reopening shall not affect the term of the Phase II  acid
 5        rain permit.
 6             f.  The  designated  representative  of the affected
 7        source for acid deposition shall renew the initial  CAAPP
 8        permit  and  Phase II acid rain permit in accordance with
 9        this Section and  Title  V  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and
10        regulations promulgated thereunder, except as modified by
11        Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations promulgated
12        thereunder.
13             g.  In  the  case  of  an  affected  source for acid
14        deposition for which a complete Phase II acid rain permit
15        application and compliance plan are timely received under
16        this subsection,  the  complete  permit  application  and
17        compliance  plan,  including amendments thereto, shall be
18        binding   on   the   owner,   operator   and   designated
19        representative, all affected units for acid deposition at
20        the affected source, and any other unit,  as  defined  in
21        Section  402  of the Clean Air Act, governed by the Phase
22        II acid rain permit application and shall be  enforceable
23        as an acid rain permit for purposes of Titles IV and V of
24        the  Clean  Air  Act,  from the date of submission of the
25        acid rain permit application until a Phase II  acid  rain
26        permit is issued or denied by the Agency.
27             h.  The  Agency  shall  not include or implement any
28        measure  which  would  interfere  with  or   modify   the
29        requirements  of  Title  IV  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  or
30        regulations promulgated thereunder.
31             i.  Nothing  in  this  Section shall be construed as
32        affecting allowances or  USEPA's  decision  regarding  an
33        excess emissions offset plan, as set forth in Title IV of
34        the Clean Air Act or regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
                            -68-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1                  i.  No  permit  revision  shall be required for
 2             increases  in  emissions  that  are  authorized   by
 3             allowances   acquired  pursuant  to  the  acid  rain
 4             program, provided that such increases do not require
 5             a  permit  revision  under  any   other   applicable
 6             requirement.
 7                  ii.  No  limit shall be placed on the number of
 8             allowances held by the source.  The source may  not,
 9             however,    use   allowances   as   a   defense   to
10             noncompliance with any other applicable requirement.
11                  iii.  Any such allowance shall be accounted for
12             according   to   the   procedures   established   in
13             regulations promulgated under Title IV of the  Clean
14             Air Act.
15             j.  To  the  extent  that  the  federal  regulations
16        promulgated  under Title IV, including but not limited to
17        40 C.F.R. Part 72,  as  now  or  hereafter  amended,  are
18        inconsistent  with  the  federal  regulations promulgated
19        under Title V, the federal regulations promulgated  under
20        Title IV shall take precedence.
21             k.  The  USEPA may intervene as a matter of right in
22        any permit appeal involving a Phase II acid  rain  permit
23        provision or denial of a Phase II acid rain permit.
24             l.  It  is  unlawful  for  any  owner or operator to
25        violate any terms or conditions of a Phase II  acid  rain
26        permit  issued  under  this  subsection,  to  operate any
27        affected source for acid deposition except in  compliance
28        with  a  Phase  II  acid rain permit issued by the Agency
29        under this subsection, or to violate any other applicable
30        requirements.
31             m.  The designated  representative  of  an  affected
32        source for acid deposition shall submit to the Agency the
33        data   and  information  submitted  quarterly  to  USEPA,
34        pursuant  to  40  CFR  75.64,   concurrently   with   the
 
                            -69-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        submission  to USEPA. The submission shall be in the same
 2        electronic format as specified by USEPA.
 3             n.  The  Agency  shall  act  on  any  petition   for
 4        exemption  of  a new unit or retired unit, as those terms
 5        are defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, from the
 6        requirements of the acid rain program in accordance  with
 7        Title IV of the Clean Air Act and its regulations.
 8             o.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
 9        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
10        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
11        necessary to implement this subsection.

12        18.  Fee Provisions.
13             a.  For each 12 month period after the date on which
14        the USEPA approves or conditionally approves  the  CAAPP,
15        but  in  no  event  prior  to  January  1, 1994, a source
16        subject to this Section or excluded under subsection  1.1
17        or  paragraph  3(c)  of  this Section, shall pay a fee as
18        provided  in  this  part  (a)  of  this  subsection   18.
19        However,  a  source  that  has  been  excluded  from  the
20        provisions  of  this  Section  under  subsection  1.1  or
21        paragraph  3(c)  of this Section because the source emits
22        less  than  25  tons  per  year  of  any  combination  of
23        regulated air pollutants shall  pay  fees  in  accordance
24        with paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 9.6.
25                  i.  The  fee  for a source allowed to emit less
26             than  100  tons  per  year  of  any  combination  of
27             regulated air pollutants shall be $1,000 per year.
28                  ii.  The fee for a source allowed to  emit  100
29             tons   or  more  per  year  of  any  combination  of
30             regulated air pollutants, except for those regulated
31             air pollutants excluded in paragraph 18(f)  of  this
32             subsection, shall be as follows:
33                       A.  The  Agency shall assess an annual fee
34                  of $13.50 per ton for the  allowable  emissions
 
                            -70-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1                  of  all regulated air pollutants at that source
 2                  during the term  of  the  permit.   These  fees
 3                  shall  be  used  by the Agency and the Board to
 4                  fund the activities required by Title V of  the
 5                  Clean  Air Act including such activities as may
 6                  be carried out by other State or local agencies
 7                  pursuant to paragraph (d) of  this  subsection.
 8                  The  amount  of  such fee shall be based on the
 9                  information supplied by the  applicant  in  its
10                  complete  CAAPP  permit  application  or in the
11                  CAAPP permit if the permit has been granted and
12                  shall be determined by the amount of  emissions
13                  that  the  source  is allowed to emit annually,
14                  provided  however,  that  no  source  shall  be
15                  required to pay an  annual  fee  in  excess  of
16                  $100,000.   The Agency shall provide as part of
17                  the  permit  application  form  required  under
18                  subsection 5 of this  Section  a  separate  fee
19                  calculation form which will allow the applicant
20                  to   identify   the   allowable  emissions  and
21                  calculate the fee for the term of  the  permit.
22                  In  no  event shall the Agency raise the amount
23                  of  allowable  emissions   requested   by   the
24                  applicant unless such increases are required to
25                  demonstrate  compliance  with  terms of a CAAPP
26                  permit.
27                       Notwithstanding the above,  any  applicant
28                  may  seek  a  change  in its permit which would
29                  result in increases in allowable emissions  due
30                  to  an  increase  in  the hours of operation or
31                  production rates of an emission unit  or  units
32                  and  such a change shall be consistent with the
33                  construction   permit   requirements   of   the
34                  existing State permit  program,  under  Section
 
                            -71-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1                  39(a)  of this Act and applicable provisions of
 2                  this Section.  Where a construction  permit  is
 3                  required,  the Agency shall expeditiously grant
 4                  such  construction   permit   and   shall,   if
 5                  necessary, modify the CAAPP permit based on the
 6                  same application.
 7                       B.  The applicant or permittee may pay the
 8                  fee  annually  or  semiannually  for those fees
 9                  greater than  $5,000.  However,  any  applicant
10                  paying  a fee equal to or greater than $100,000
11                  shall pay the full amount on July  1,  for  the
12                  subsequent  fiscal  year, or pay 50% of the fee
13                  on July 1 and the remaining  50%  by  the  next
14                  January  1.   The  Agency may change any annual
15                  billing date upon reasonable notice, but  shall
16                  prorate  the  new bill so that the permittee or
17                  applicant does not pay more than  its  required
18                  fees  for  the  fee period for which payment is
19                  made.
20             b.  (Blank).
21             c.  There shall be created a  CAA  Fee  Panel  of  5
22        persons.  The Panel shall:
23                  i.  On  If  it  deems  necessary  on  an annual
24             basis, render advisory opinions to  the  Agency  and
25             the General Assembly regarding the appropriate level
26             of  Title  V  Clean Air Act fees for the next fiscal
27             year.  Such advisory opinions shall be based  on  an
28             analysis a study of the operations of the Agency and
29             any  other entity requesting appropriations from the
30             CAA Permit Fund, in  accordance  with  the  criteria
31             listed  in  this  subsection.    This analysis study
32             shall recommend changes in  the  fee  structure,  if
33             warranted.    The study will be based on the ability
34             of the Agency or other entity to effectively utilize
 
                            -72-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             the  funds  generated  as  well  as   the   entity's
 2             conformance   with  the  objectives  and  measurable
 3             benchmarks identified by the Agency as justification
 4             for the prior year's fee.   Such  advisory  opinions
 5             shall  be  submitted to the appropriation committees
 6             no later than December April 15th of each year.   If
 7             the CAA Fee Panel does not issue an advisory opinion
 8             for  any  fiscal year, the advisory opinion shall be
 9             deemed to recommend a presumptive fee increase.  The
10             current annual fee schedule shall be adjusted by the
11             cumulative rate of increase in  the  Consumer  Price
12             Index  since  the  last adjustment to the annual fee
13             schedule, if any.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,
14             the presumptive maximum annual fee increase shall be
15             10% per year for each year of the CAAPP Program.
16                  The  criteria  to  be considered by the CAA Fee
17             Panel in its analysis shall include the following:
18                       A.  Whether the CAAPP fees are  sufficient
19                  to  fund  all required CAAPP funded activities,
20                  including  but  not  limited   to   permitting,
21                  compliance  activities (excluding enforcement),
22                  inspection, planning, monitoring,  and  related
23                  administrative overhead and expenses;
24                       B.  Whether  the CAAPP fees are sufficient
25                  to support all required CAAPP funded activities
26                  under  the  National  Performance   Partnership
27                  Agreement between the Agency and USEPA; and
28                       C.  Whether  the CAAPP fees are sufficient
29                  to support other State and local agencies  that
30                  perform  duties  related  to the CAAPP and that
31                  receive funding from the CAAPP fees.
32                  The  Agency  and  any  other  State  or   local
33             agencies  that  receive  funding from the CAAPP fees
34             shall provide to the CAA Fee Panel  any  information
 
                            -73-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1             necessary  to complete the analyses required by this
 2             Section.
 3                  ii.  Not be compensated for their services, but
 4             shall receive reimbursement for their expenses.
 5                  iii.  Be appointed as follows:   4  members  by
 6             the  Director  of  the Agency from a list of no more
 7             than 8  persons,  submitted  by  representatives  of
 8             associations who represent facilities subject to the
 9             provisions  of  this  subsection and the Director of
10             the Agency or designee.
11             d.  There is hereby created in the State Treasury  a
12        special  fund  to be known as the "CAA Permit Fund".  All
13        Funds collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection
14        shall be deposited into the Fund.  The  General  Assembly
15        shall appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and
16        to  the  Board  to carry out their obligations under this
17        Section.  The General Assembly may also authorize  monies
18        to be granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State
19        and  local  agencies  which perform duties related to the
20        CAAPP. Interest generated on the monies deposited in this
21        Fund shall be returned to the Fund. The General  Assembly
22        may  appropriate  up  to the sum of $25,000 to the Agency
23        from the CAA Permit Fund for use by the Panel in carrying
24        out its responsibilities under this subsection.
25             e.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
26        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
27        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
28        necessary to implement this subsection.
29             f.  For   purposes  of  this  subsection,  the  term
30        "regulated air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to
31        it under subsection 1 of this Section but  shall  exclude
32        the following:
33                  i.  carbon monoxide;
34                  ii.  any  Class  I  or  II substance which is a

 1             regulated air pollutant solely because it is  listed
 2             pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act; and
 3                  iii.  any  pollutant  that  is  a regulated air
 4             pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard
 5             or regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean  Air
 6             Act  based  on  the  emissions allowed in the permit

 9        19.  Air Toxics Provisions.
10             a.  In  the event that the USEPA fails to promulgate
11        in a timely manner a standard pursuant to Section  112(d)
12        of the Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority
13        to issue permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean
14        Air  Act  and  regulations  promulgated thereunder, which
15        contain emission limitations which are equivalent to  the
16        emission  limitations  that would apply to a source if an
17        emission standard had been promulgated in a timely manner
18        by USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d).  Provided,  however,
19        that  the  owner  or  operator of a source shall have the
20        opportunity to submit to the Agency a  proposed  emission
21        limitation  which  it  determines to be equivalent to the
22        emission limitations that would apply to such  source  if
23        an  emission  standard  had  been promulgated in a timely
24        manner by USEPA.  If the Agency refuses  to  include  the
25        emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator in
26        a CAAPP permit, the owner or operator  may  petition  the
27        Board   to  establish  whether  the  emission  limitation
28        proposal submitted by the owner or operator provides  for
29        emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission
30        limitations  that  would  apply  to  the  source  if  the
31        emission  standard  had  been  promulgated  by USEPA in a
32        timely manner.  The Board  shall  determine  whether  the
33        emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator or
34        an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
 
                            -75-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        provides for the level of control required under  Section
 2        112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall otherwise establish an
 3        appropriate  emission limitation, pursuant to Section 112
 4        of the Clean Air Act.
 5             b.  Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a)
 6        or (e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to
 7        the Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and  the
 8        Board  shall  render  its decision within 120 days of the
 9        filing of the  petition.   Any  such  decision  shall  be
10        subject  to  review   pursuant to Section 41 of this Act.
11        Where USEPA promulgates an applicable  emission  standard
12        prior  to  the  issuance  of the CAAPP permit, the Agency
13        shall include in the  permit  the  promulgated  standard,
14        provided that the source shall have the compliance period
15        provided under Section 112(i) of the Clean Air Act. Where
16        USEPA  promulgates  an  applicable standard subsequent to
17        the issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall revise
18        such  permit  upon  the  next  renewal  to  reflect   the
19        promulgated standard, providing a reasonable time for the
20        applicable  source  to  comply  with the standard, but no
21        longer than 8 years after the date on which the source is
22        first required to comply with  the  emissions  limitation
23        established under this subsection.
24             c.  The Agency shall have the authority to implement
25        and   enforce  complete  or  partial  emission  standards
26        promulgated by USEPA  pursuant  to  Section  112(d),  and
27        standards  promulgated  by  USEPA  pursuant  to  Sections
28        112(f),  112(h),  112(m),  and  112(n),  and  may  accept
29        delegation  of  authority  from  USEPA  to  implement and
30        enforce  Section  112(l)   and   requirements   for   the
31        prevention  and detection of accidental releases pursuant
32        to Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.
33             d.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  issue
34        permits  pursuant  to  Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air
 
                            -76-               LRB9213836LBpr
 1        Act.
 2             e.  The  Agency  has  the  authority  to   implement
 3        Section  112(g)  of the Clean Air Act consistent with the
 4        Clean  Air  Act  and  federal   regulations   promulgated
 5        thereunder. If the Agency refuses to include the emission
 6        limitations  proposed  in  an application submitted by an
 7        owner or operator for a case-by-case  maximum  achievable
 8        control  technology  (MACT)  determination,  the owner or
 9        operator may petition the Board to determine whether  the
10        emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator or
11        an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
12        provides for a level of control required by  Section  112
13        of  the  Clean  Air  Act,  or  to  otherwise establish an
14        appropriate emission limitation under Section 112 of  the
15        Clean Air Act.
