ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD September 22, 20II
IN THE MATTER OF: ) ) AMENDMENTS TO 35 ILL. ADM. CODE ) PART 229: ) HOSPITAL/MEDICAL/INFECTIOUS ) WASTE INCINERATORS ) Adopted Rule. Final Opinion and Order, R11-20 (Rulemaking

- Air)

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.K. Zalewski):
In continued recognition ofproponent's earlier-granted motion for expedited consideration, the Board today adopts final rules in this docket. As explained in more detail below, the rules were initially proposed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency or IEPA) to update and tighten the Board's rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 209 consistent with the 2009 changes to federal rules for hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators. At its September 13,201 I meeting, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules 

### (lCAR) reviewed the rules as required by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 ILCS 5/100 

### et seq. JCAR voted a certificate ofno objection. These rules will become effective upon their expeditious filing with the Secretary ofState. The final rules adopted here are substantively unchanged from the June 16, 20I I first notice proposal adopted by the Board, and the August 18, 20II second notice proposal. The order's textcontains the text ofthe Agency's proposal as amended by the Agency in its May 25 and June 13, 20I I 

### errata sheets, and in its August 16, 20II 

### errata sheet filed along with its closing public comment (PCI). The rule textalso eontains some non-substantive ehanges suggested by 

### lCAR. The only affeeted souree, Sterieyele, Ine. in Clinton, Dewitt County, testified at both hearings thatthe compliance dates proposed are acceptable.
The Board's June 16,2011 first notice proposal (adopted aftercompletion ofthe June 8, 2011 hearing) was published at 35 Ill. Reg. 10224 (July I, 2011). As announced atthe June 28, 2011 hearing, the public commentperiod closed on August 16,2011. The onlypublic comment reeeived was filed by the Agency, and discussed in the Board's August 18,2011 seeond notice opinon and order. Adoption ofthe final rules today will facilitate completion ofthis rulemaking on proponent's preferred timetable. PROCEDURAL HISTORY On December 23, 20I0, the Agency filed a rulemaking proposal for amendments to the Board's airquality standards rules pursuant to the general rulemakings provisions ofSection 27 ofthe Illinois Environmental Protection Act (Act), 415 ILCS 5/27 (2010) and the Boards procedural rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102. The proposal was accompanied by, among otherthings, a Technical Support Document (TSD) I, a motion for waiver ofcopy submission requirements (which is hereby granted), and a motion I"r expedited review (MER) (granted June 16,2011).
In the Statement ofReasons (SR) accompanying the proposal, the Agency stated that this proposal contains amendments to 35 III. Adm. Code Part 229 "Hospital/Medical/lnfectious Waste Incinerators" (HMIWl). The proposed rules would reflect amendments promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to federal air quality standards,2 including new source performance standards and emissions guidelines. SR at 1. Changes include revised emission standards (more stringent than existing ones), revised waste management plan provisions (for greater flexibility in demonstrating compliance), and removal ofan existing startup, shutdown, and malfunction provision. 

### Id.
The compliance date for the new rules would be January 1,2014. The Agency reports Illinois currently has only one HM1WI to which the new rules would apply: the Stericycle, Inc. facility located in Clinton, DeWitt County. SR at 8-9.
In a January 6, 2011 order, the Board accepted the petition for hearing. But, the Board reserved ruling on the pending motions, as pm1icipants' time to respond to them had not yet elapsed. Hearings were initially scheduled for March and April ofthis year. 

### See hearing officer order (Feb. I, 2011). Accordingly, the Agency prefiled testimony on February 18, 2011 and Stericycle did so on February 20, 2011.
On February 22, 201 I, in accordance with Section 27(b) ofthe Act (415 ILCS 5/27(b) (20I0)), the Board requested that the Department ofCommerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) conduct an economic impact study for this rulemaking. On May 23, 20II, the Board received a response from DCEO, declining the request, and stating that it was unable to perform an economic impact study.
The first-scheduled set ofhearings did not take place, as newspaperpublication was not accomplished to allow forthe 30-day pre-hearing notice required by the CAA in all ofthe state's 1I air regions. Hearings were rescheduled for June 8 and 28, 2011; to facilitate hearing efficiency, the Agency and Stericycle were directed by the hearing officer to pre-file answers to questions concerning the previously-prefiled testimony. 

### See hearing officer order (Apr. 20,

2 USEPA adopted its "Standards ofPerformance for New Stationary Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators" at 74 Fed. Reg. 5 I368 (Oct. 6, 2009). States were required to have State Implementation Plans (SIP) revisions with the new incinerator rules filed within a yearofthe date ofUSEPA promulgation ofthe new rules, i.e. by October 6,2010. Section 129(b)(3) ofthe federal Clean AirAct (CAA), 42 USC7429(e), requires USEPA to develop a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) within two years offederal rule promulgation i.e. by October 6,2011.2011)3. Stericyle prefiled testimony and answers for the first hearing on May 23, 2011, and the Agency filed its answers and first errata sheet on May 25,2011. The first hearing was held in Clinton on June 8, 2011, and the second is scheduled for June 28, 2011 in Chicago.
JUNE 8,2011 HEARING Hearing4 commenced as scheduled in Clinton on June 8, 2011. The Agency was represented by Attorney Charles Matoesian, who was accompanied by witness Dixon Nwaji. 6/8/11 Tr. at 6. Stericycle was not represented by an attorney. Stericyle's spokesman was Selin Hoboy, its vice-president oflegislative and regulatory affairs. 6/8/11

The Agency and Stericycle each presented one witness, and six exhibitsSwere offered and admitted into the record. These included Exhibit2, an agreed-upon revision ofthe

3 The hearing officer order stated: But, the hearing officernotes thatthe Board could still timely adoptrules onthe schedulepreferred by the Agency ifthe Board adopts afirst notice proposal no laterthan the Board meeting scheduled forJune 16, 20II.
The Board hypothetically could adoptthe Agency's proposal as drafted for first notice without commenting onthe merits ofthe proposal in advance ofany hearings. But, given Stericycle's premedtestimony concerning the proposed compliancedates, Board action in advance ofhearing could be misconstrued as prejudgmentonthe merits ofthe proposal withoutallowing Stericycle to be heard.
Underthese circumstances, itwouldbe mosthelpful ifthe June 8hearing could develop arecord forBoard deliberationthatmakes clearany agreements or disagreements the Agency and Stericyclehave concerning the other's respective positions on the proposal. So, Board staffhas taken steps to encourage the participantsto refine theirthinking concerning the Agency's proposal and Stericycle's testimony concerning the proposed compliance dates. Attachedto this orderare questions conceming the previously-filed testimony, which this order requests thatthe Agency and Stericyle respondto in writing in advance ofhearing, on or beforeMay 23,2011.

Testimonycompliance dates to reflect discussions between IEPA and Stericyle resolving concerns expressed about the originally proposed compliance dates by Stericycle in pre-tiled testimony. 6/8/II Tr. at 10-11. Both participants agreed to a minor language modification in Section 229.115 (b)(2)(B)(vii) suggested by the hearing officer and indicated on the face ofExhibit 2. 6/8/1 I Tr. at 15. Testimonv ofIEPA's Dixon Nwaji The Agency presented the prefiled testimony ofDixonNwaji an Environmental Protection Engineer in the Agency's Air Quality Planning Section. The testimony was entered into thc record as ifread as Exhibit 1. See 6/8/1 ITr. at 9. Mr. Nwaji summarized much ofthe material in the TSD submitted by the Agency along with its proposal. Since April 199I, Mr. Nwaji's responsibility in this capacity has included tracking the development ofregulations under section 112 ofthe federal CAA, including the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPS) and related regulations under Section 129 ofthe CAA. Mr. Nwaji also provides outreach to the regulated community and other stakeholders in the implementation ofthe regulations. Exh. 1 at unnumbered p. 2. Regulatory Background. Mr. Nwaji reminded that the CAA requires the USEPA, in orderto protectpublic health and welfare, to promulgate maximum achievable control technology standards (MACT) for the control ofemissions oflisted pollutants from HMIWI. MACT standards are based on the maximum degree ofreduction in emissions oflisted toxic air pollutants already being achieved by the best-controlled and lower-emitting sources in an industry group (in this instance, the HMIWI source category). The listed pollutants are hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, mercury, particulate matter, oxides ofnitrogen, sulfurdioxide, and dioxin/furans. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 2.
Mr. Nwaji then reviewed the history ofthe rules at issue here. Mr. Nwaji stated that on September 15, 1997, USEPA published new source performance standards (NSPS) for new HMIWI units, and emissions guidelines (EG) for existing HMIWI units (the 1997 NSPS/EG standards). Illinois adopted rules codified as 35 III. Adm. Code Part 229, and USEPA approved as part ofthe Illinois SIP rules thatreflectthe emissions guidelines underthe 1997 NSPS/EG standards. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 3.
On March 2, 1999, the U.S. Court ofAppeals for the District ofColumbia Circuit in a case challenging USEPA's methodology in deriving the 1997 MACT standards, remanded the rule for further explanation from USEPA ofits derivation ofthe standards. Since the appellate court did not vacate the rule, rule requirements remained in effect during the remand and were fully implemented by September 15, 2002. Then, on October 6, 2009, the USEPA, in response

on Amendments to 35 III. Adm. Code Part 229: HMIWI, filed 2/22/2011(signed by Selin Hoboy, VP Legislative andRegulatory Affairs); Exhibit 5: 5/23/1 I Stericycle Inc. Testimony on Amendments to 35 III. Adm. Code Part 229: HMIWI, signed by Selin Hoboy, VPLegislative and Regulatory Affairs); Exhibit 6: 6/23/2011 Hearing officer order in Rl 1-24 addressing questions to !EPA and Stericycle re their respective filings of5/25/201 1& 5/23/201 I.to the appellate remand, published revised NSPS and EG for HMIWlunits (the 2009 NSPS/EG standards). The amended standards addressed issues raised in litigation by petitioners, and also satisfied USEPA's obligation under the CAA to conduct a review ofthe HMIWI MACT standards every five years. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 3.
With the promulgation ofthe 2009 NSPS/EG standards, IEPA is required under the CAA to submit a revised SIP to address the new requirements under the revised emissions guidelines. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 3.
Waste Treatment bv Medical Waste Incineration. Mr. Nwaji testified that the proposed amendments to 35 III. Adm. Code Part 229 will substantially reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and criteria pollutants from medical waste incinerators, also referred to as HMIWI. He explained that medical waste incinerators are major sources of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic pollutants such as lead, cadmium, dioxins/furans, and mercury. These pollutants are known or suspected to cause serious health effects, such as cancer, birth defects, and lung defects as well cause adverse environmental and ecological effects. The reductions in emissions ofthese toxic pollutants that will be achieved from the implementation ofthe proposed amendments will accordingly benefit public health and the environment. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 3.
Mr. Nwaji explained that incineration is among the existing waste treatmenttechnologies used to process medical waste to make it biologically and chemically safe for disposal in a landfill. The advantages ofincineration include destruction ofpathogens and hazardous organics, reduction inthe volume ofmaterial combusted, and energy recovery. In addition, incineration leaves wastes unrecognizable after treatment. But, a major disadvantage of incineration as atreatment method is the public health riskposed by the emissions ofhazardous air pollutants from the waste incineration process. Otherwaste treatmenttechnologies such as autoclaving (and landfilling), gas/vapor sterilization, chemical disinfection, thermal inactivation, microwave sterilization and others are being embraced as alternative treatment options to incineration as they do not pose the level ofpublic health risk that incineration does. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 3.
Mr. Nwaji notedthat each waste treatment method presents its own performance issues and environmental impacts. The alternative treatment options to varying degrees are not as effective as incineration when used to treat certain waste types such as pathological, chemotherapy and pharmaceutical wastes. In terms ofenvironmental impacts, autoclaving, for example, does not achieve the volume reduction as incineration, and that some medical wastes that are autoclaved may require more landfill space than ifincinerated. Other environmental impacts associated with landfilling ofautoclaved medical wastes include landfill gas emissions, landfill leachate issues, and impacts ofwaste transportation traffic. Exh. 1 at unnumbered p. 3. Summary ofProposed Revisions. Mr. Nwaji stated that emission limits underthe 2009 NSPS/EG standards are far more stringentthan the 1997 NSPS/EG standards, and thatmost of the HMIWI units nationwide (including units located in Illinois) would need to improve perfonnance in orderto comply with amended standards. The CAA requires thatthe standards under an approvable SIP be at least as protective as those underthe promulgated emissionsguidelines. Mr. Nwaji stated that the proposed revisions to Part 229 "are deemed equivalent in stringency to the amended standards under the 2009 NSPS/EG standards." Exh. I at unnumbered p. 3-4.
Mr. Nwaji said that the proposed emissions limits apply at all times, including during periods ofstartup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM). Since the regulatory exemption provision in the 1997 NSPS/EG standards that allowed facilities under MACT programs to exceed emission limits during periods ofSSM was vacated in 2008 by the D. C. appellate court, that provision is deleted from the rules in the proposed revisions to Part 229. Exh. I at unnumbered 

### p.4.
Also deleted from the rules in the proposed revisions are percent reduction limits for hydrogen chloride, lead, cadmium, and mercury. Because the approach used in determining percent reduction limits for these pollutants under the 1997 NSPS/EG standards did not account for nontechnology factors that also affect emissions from HMIWI, the use ofpercent reduction limit as an option for compliance demonstration was deleted from the 2009 NSPS/EG standards. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 4.
Emissions from HMIWI units depend greatly on the materials that are eombusted. Enhanced waste management practices such as waste segregation atthe point ofgeneration, purchasing ofrecycled or recyclable products, and good combustion control practices are effective pretreatment strategies for reducing emissions ofcertain target pollutants. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements preclude commercial HMIWI operators from segregating medical waste received from clientwaste generators for treatment. Taking into accountthe effectiveness ofwaste segregation as a pretreatment strategy, the proposed revisions include a requirement that commercial HMIWI operators provide training and education in waste management practices, and ensure that each client develops its own waste management plan that includes elements such as waste segregation and purchasing ofrecycled or recyclable products, among others. Exh. I at unnumberedp. 3-4.
The proposed revisions include additional stacktesting requirements, and aprovision that would allow for the use ofprevious test(s) results for initial compliance demonstration ifcertain criteria are met. Also included is the provision thatwould allow HMIWI operators to forego required annual test(s) for the subsequent two years ifall three annual test(s) over athree-year period indicate compliance with the applicable limits for particulate matter, carbon monoxide, or hydrogen chloride. The proposed revisions also include the requirements for a one-time visible emissions test ofash handling operations, and annual equipment and air pollution control device(s) inspections. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 4. Finally, the proposed revisions include a provision for a phased schedule for compliance with the amended emission limits. The phased schedule is provided to enable HMIWI operators that may need to install and/ormodify equipment in orderto demonstrate compliance with the amended emission limits. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 4. Affected Sources. Mr. Nwaji stated thatthere are two known existing HMIWI units in operation in llIinois that are subject to Part 229 requirements. The two units are both categorizedas large based on waste charging capacity, and are commercially operated by Stericycle, Inc ("Stericycle"), at its Clinton facility. Exh. 1 at unnumbered p. 4. Stericycle is a major provider ofmedical waste management services. In addition to its use ofincineration to treat medical waste, Stericycle also uses other alternative treatment methods such as its proprietary ElectroThermal Deactivation and autoclaving to process waste at its other facilities outside the state. 

### Id. at unnumbered p. 4-5. Cost and Economic Impacts. According to Mr. Nwaji, undcrthe existing Part 229 standards, an initial performance test (for all target pollutants) and subsequent annual tests (for 3 ofthe target pollutants) are required for compliance demonstration. Based on the results ofpast performance tests, Mr. Nwaji stated that neither ofthe two known HMIWlunits (as configured) meet all the emission limits for the target pollutants in the proposed revisions. In other words, the 2 Stericycle HMIWI units atthe Clinton facility would need to improve performance by installing control systems, adding incremental controls, using any ofthe alternatives to compliance, or some combination ofthese measures to meetthe proposed standards. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 4.
Mr. Nwaji's analysis ofUSEPA's data developed for the 2009 NSPS/EG standards rulemaking shows an estimated total capital cost to Stericycle for compliance with the proposed revisions ofapproximately $2.3 million for the 2 HMIWI units. He estimates that the total annual cost ofcompliance as approximately $700,000. Mr. Nwaji commented that autoclaving followed by landfil1ing is considered a viable alternative to incineration. Ifthis alternative disposal option is used by Stericycle, Mr. Nwaji estimated StericycIe's compliance costs for the 2 HMIWI units to be a total capital cost ofapproximately $981,000, and atotal annual cost of approximately $526,000. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 5.
Mr. Nwaji statedthat, based on the analysis ofdataused in developing the 2009 

### NSPS/EG standards on which the proposed revisions to Part229 are based, it is not expected that the incremental costs ofcompliance will significantly impact commercial operators and waste generators, whetherthe costs are absorbed orpassed on to customers. The additional costs, imposed by the proposed revisions both to commercial operators and waste generators, will accelerate the trend towards alternative waste treatment options such as autoclaving. For the waste generators, the additional costs serve as incentive to implement enhanced waste management practices such as waste segregation to reduce cost ofdisposing theirwaste by minimizing the amount ofwaste sent offsite for treatment. Forthe commercial operator(such as Stericycle), it is expected that this will translate to a decline in the quantity ofmedical waste received for treatment, as well as declines in treatmentcosts, incineration revenues, and profits. Exh. I at unnumbered p. 5.
Mr. Nwaji concluded that, in developing the proposed revisions to Part229,IEPA reviewed and relied upon the documents detailing results ofUSEPA's analyses ofdata used in developing the 2009

### NSPS/EG standards on whichthe proposal is based. In Mr. Nwaji's opinion, the proposal to amend the existing Part 229 standards is both technically and economically feasible. Exh. 1 at unnumbered p. 4.Answers to Qnestions Deferred at First Hearing. Questions concerning Mr. Nwaji's testimony (Exh. I) and the Agency's Answers to Questions and the Agency's First Errata Sheet (Exh. 3) were posed in a June 3, 2011 hearing officer order, entered into the record as Exh. 6. Many ofthese questions asked whether particular technical revisions to rulc text (but not compliance dates) would be acceptable to the Agency. Mr. Matoesian stated that the [EPA was not prepared to respond at that time, but that [EPA would attempt to provide written answers on June 13,2011. 6/8/11 Tr. at 18,23. These answers would then be further addressed at the second hearing on June 28, 2011, ifnecessary. Answers and Second Errata Sheet. On June 13, 20II, the Agency filed the promised answers to questions in Exhibit 6 in the filing entitled "Illinois EPA Answers and Second Errata to Questions Regarding Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators". These changes were tcchnical changes to cross-references, addresses for obtaining materials incorporated by reference, and the like. The largest change is inclusion oftext concerning HWIMI shutdown in Section229.116(c) similarto that in the USEPA rules. Testimony ofStericycie's Selin Hoboy After the Agency's presentation, Stericycle's Selin Hoboy presented a short statement. Ms. Hoboy did notpresent the text ofthe two previous Stericycle prefiled statements; these were entered into the record as Exhibits 3 & 4. Ms. Hoboy stated that Stericycle was present at hearing "to add comments to ourprefiled testimony." 6/8/11 Tr. at 13. These prefiled statements will be summarized below, priorto summary ofthe balance ofMs. Hoboy's oral testimony. Stericycie's February 22, 2011 Filiug. In its initial filing, Stericycle explained that Stericycle is headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois. Stericycle is apubliclytraded company (SRCL) which employs over 5000 people in the United States and over 8000 worldwide. Stericycle is the leading provider ofcomplianthealthcare waste services to over400,000 customers, including local health departments and public facilities. Within Illinois, Stericycle employs approximately 600 employees with I treatment facility in Clinton, 2 corporate function facilities inthe Chicago area, and 2 transportation facilities. Currently Stericycle operates 6 incineration treatment locations operating 8 incineratorunits throughoutthe U.S., including the Clinton facility. Ex. 3, p. I. Stericycle stated that itacknowledges that it is subject to the Part 229 rules, and thatthe Agency-proposed amendments to the rules are necessary underthe CAA. Stericycle's sole concern was about the compliance schedule as proposed: i.e. January 1,2014 ultimate compliance date and interim dates:
Section 229.115 Compliance Schedules for HMIWls ThatWill Continue to Operate 

### Ql On and afterJanuary 1, 20I4, each owneror operator ofan HMIWl, as defined in Section 229. I10 (a)(]) or (a)(2) ofthis Part, and subjectto the emissions limits under Section 229.I25(c) or (e) ofthis Part, as applicable, or Section 229.1 26(c)ofthis Part, shall comply with the applicable prQvisions ofthis Part according to the following schedules: 

## D Except as provided in paragraph (2) ofthis subsection and unless anotherdate is specified in the provisions ofthis Part all owners or operators ofHMIWls shall comply with all ofthe provisions of this Part by January I, 2014. 

## D Except as provided in paragraph (3) ofthis subsection, the owner or operator ofan HMIWI may have until October 6,2014, to complv with this Part. To avail themselves ofthis extended compliance timeframe, the owner or operator ofan HMIWI shall do all ofthe following: A) Submit its CAAPP application to the Agency, on or before January I, 20I3, requesting an extended compliance schedule, pursuant to Section 39.5(5)(d) ofthe Act [415 ILCS 5/39.5(5)(d)]. This compliance schedule shall include documentation supporting the need for an extension, a final control plan for the HMIWI and incremental steps to be taken toward compliance with this Part that, at a minimum. meet the increments ofprogress specified in subsection (b)(2)(B) ofthis Section; 

## ill Meet the following increments ofprogress by the dates indicated: 

## D. Finalize all contracts for the purchase ofeither pollution control equipment. process modification or control systems by July 1,2011; 

### ill Commence the implementation ofeither the process modifications or the necessary construction or installation ofair pollution control devices for the HMIWI by April 1.2012; 

## iill Complete either the process modifications orthe installation orconstruction ofthe new air pollution control equipment by January I, 2013; 

## ill Perform initial startup ofthe retrofitted HMIWI by July 1, 2013; and v) Complete the initial performance test in accordance with Section 229.142 ofthis Part within 180 daysafter initial startup. Exh.3 at 2-3, citing lEPA 12/23/1 0 proposal. Stericycle proposed an alternate schedule below that identifies a final compliance date of August 1, 2014 (Exh. 3 at 4):

Increments ofprol!ress Stericycle Proposed Date i) Finalize all contracts for the purchase ofeither pollution August 1,20]2 control equipment, process modification or control systems ii) Commence the implementation of either the process March 1,2013 modifications or the necessary construction or installation ofair pollution control devices for the HMlWl iii) Complete either the process modifications or the September I, 2013 installation or construction ofthe new air pollution control
Exh. 4 at 2. Stericycle articulated five coneerns, which it believed were metby its alternate proposal:
1. The time required to perform the requisite retrofit activities at the Clinton facility as outlined in the alternate schedule. The new HMIWl regulations will require very significant reductions in emissions from medical waste incinerators. U.S. EPA's new limits are so stringent that there is not an existing commercial HMIWI in operation anywhere in the U.S. that has demonstrated the ability to meet all ofthe new emission standards. As such, substantial air pollution control equipment changes and data acquisition system improvements/changes are going to be required at all HMIWI to comply with the new emission limits. 2. U.S. EPA identified three different airpollution control (APC) systems that would be employedto meet the new emission limits. Most HMIWI are currently equipped with some variation ofthese three systems; however, equipment upgrades, improvements, reconfiguration, etc. will still be required for these systems to reliably and consistently eomply with the new limits. U.S. EPA acknowledges this fact and further encourages States to adoptthe full implementation sehedule in the preamble to the rule as follows: "The proposed amendments

... would allow existing HMlWI to demonstrate compliance with the amended standards within 3 years from the date ofapproval ofa State plan or 5 years after promulgation ofthe revised standards, whichever is earlier. Consistent with CAA [Clean Air Act] section 129, EPA expects states to require compliance as expeditiously as practicable. However, because we believe that many HMIWI will find it necessary to retrofit existing emission control equipment and/or install additional emission control equipment in order to meet the proposed revised limits, EPA anticipates that States may choose to provide the maximum compliauce period allowed by CAA section 129(1)(2). (emphasis added). Federal Register/ Vol. 73, No. 231/Monday, December 1,2008, Page 72974.3. The time required to develop and to submit the construction permit application for the retrofit activities and thcn adequate time to allow IEPA to review the application and issue the resulting air permit must be accounted for. There are tasks beyond Stericycle's control that will have an impact on the implementation schedule, and the feasibility ofmeeting the time frames. Specifically, the administrators ofthe State Plans (such as lEPA) will need time to review and approve designs and construction plans/permit applications, as well as test results. In addition, the public will have an opportunity for review and comment. Stericycle recognizes that certain construction/retrofit activities may not be started without the requisite agency approvals and/or permits. Based on Stericycle's past experience with implementation ofthe 1997 HMIWI Rule, the time required for these events to occur will be significant, regardless ofhow quickly the actual work to install the upgrades is accomplished. The January 1,2014 deadline is insufficient time to allow for these events, and the upgrade work, to occur. 4. The anticipated shortage ofexternal engineering and air pollution control vendors and the extended delivery times due to a drain on these industries associated with u.S. EPA regulatory deadlines including the HMIWI regulations and BoilerMACT. The HMIWI industry will be competing for engineering and air pollution control resources with other industrial sectors that will influence the availability and lead time for equipment and services. Other Federal airquality rules (e.g., BoilerMACT/CISWI) have similar compliance schedules and will put a significant demand on engineering and APC resources. The large industrial sectors impacted by those rules (e.g. utilities, industrial manufacturing sources) have a larger market share and "buying power" than the HMIWI sector, and StericycIe may bepushed to "the back ofthe pack" when attcmpting to contract for these resources.
5. Thetime requiredto effieiently plan and stage the equipment and personnel to retrofit eight (8) HMIWI across the u.S. while maintaining the ability to service Stericycle customers.
6. Any individual improvements made to an HMIWl APC to positively impactthe emissions ofone pollutant, may actually have an opposite effect and negatively impactthe emissions of another pollutant. As such, an appropriate implementation schedule is notonly necessary to upgrade/install/improve the APC systems as a whole, butto evaluate the performance of these systems and ensure reliable, consistent compliance with all ofthe emission limits.
The APC evaluation will require pre-testing to eonfirm proper system operation and the ability to demonstrate compliance with the new limits. Actual testing ofthe HMIWI with retrofit APC will include scheduling atesting company, performing atest, receiving results, and possibly re-evaluating or making minor system adjustments as necessary to demonstrate future compliance. This is especiallytrue with the very low emission limits associated with the new rule. Reliable compliance withthese limits will likely require alengthy shakedown period.As a result, Stericycle must plan f,)r contingency time to perform the shakedown ofthe new equipment at the Clinton LlciJity in advance ofconducting the Initial Perf,mnance Test. Exh. 4 at 2-6. Stericycle's Mav 25, 20U Filing. After additional conversations with IEPA, and in response to questions contained in an April 20. 2011 hearing officer order, in a May 25, 2011 filing (Exh.5), Stericycle proposed anothercompliance schedule:

Exh. 5 at 2, fn. omitted
Ms. Robor's testimony. Ms. Hoboy stated that Stericycle had reviewed the proposed amendments, and worked with IEPA to review alternative time frames and dates for demonstrating compliance. Ms. Hoboy then read from the agreed upon changes to the rules memorialized in Exhibit 2. 6/8/11 Tr. at 13-16. To allow for an easy comparison, this information has been entered below into a table ofthe sort earlierprepared by Stericycle:

Increments ofprogress Agreed Compliance Date No LaterThan i) Finalize all contracts for the purchase ofeither pollution August 1,2012 control equipment, process modification and control svstems ii) Commence the implementation of either the process March 1, 2013 modifications or the necessary construction or installation ofair pollution control devices for the HMIWI iii) Complete either the process modifications or the September I, 2013 installation or construction ofthe new air pollution control equipment iv) Achieve final compliance which includes June 1,2014 incorporating all process changes,

In response to questions by Board staff, Ms. Hoboy agreed thatthe milestone date ofJanuary I, 2012 in Section 229.115(b)(2)(A) was agreeable to Stericyele, 6/8/11 Tr. at 17, andthat Stericycle would do everything in its powerto comply with the agreed-upon dates. 6/8/11 Tr. at 20.
ADOPTION OF FIRST NOTICE PROPOSAL The Board adopted its first notice proposal on June 16, 20II, granting the Agency's motion for expedited decision. The first notice proposal containedthe text ofthe Agency's proposal as amended by the Agency to date in its May 25 and June 13,2011 errata sheets, and also contained the compliance dates agreed to by Stericycle at the first hearing.
The Illinois Registerpublication ofthe first notice proposal was at 35 Ill. Reg. 10224 (July I, 2011). This publication initiatedthe 45-daypublic commentperiod, expiring August 16, 2011.
Inpreparing the first notice text, JCAR suggested several minor changes which are included in the Board's secondnotice orderbelow. But, the Board does not make certain changes which the Board believes are the result ofscrivener's error. These occur inthe definitions in Section 229.1 02. The definition being added for "minimumreagent flow rate" mustcontinue to be underlined. The definition being amended for "minimum secondary chambertemperature" must show only the added words as underlined. (Some confusion may have been introduced by the Agency's original proposal to strike the existing definition in its entirety, and then propose a new definition with minimal additions-the orderbelow shows the amendment intended.)
JUNE 28, 2011 HEARING The second hearing was held in Chicago on June 28, 2011. The Agency was again represented by Attorney Charles Matoesian, who was again accompanied by witness Dixon Nwaji. 6/28/11 Tr. at 4. Stericycle was not represented by an attorney. Stericyle's spokesman was again Selin Hoboy, its vice-president oflegislative and regulatory affairs. Ms. Hoboy was accompanied by Stericycle's Rick Gabey, Regional Operations Director. 

### Id. No other participants werepresent at the hearing.No additional testimony was presented at the very short (14 transcript pages) hearing. The participants discussed various date discrepancies in documents, but agreed that the numbers appeared correctly in the Board's June 16, 20II opinion. 6/28111 Tr. at 6-12. The participants agreed to fiIe any closing comments no later than August 16, 2011, to allow for the possibility of Board adoption ofa second notice opinion and order at the Board's August 18. 20II meeting. No written closing comments were filed hy either the Agency or Stericycle. PUBLIC COMMENT 1 (IEPA) The Agency filed closing comments on August 16, 2011, which it captioned as its "first notice comments and third errata" and which the Board docketed as PC l. The Agency requested changes in three specific subsections of35 Ill. Adm. Code Section 229.142 "Initial Performance Testing and Establishment ofOperating Parameters for all HMIWls":
1. The Agency believes it made a typographical error which is reflected in the Boards order at Section 229.142(b)(I). In the Board's order ofJune 16,2011, subsection (b)(I) stated "[e]xcept as provided in Section 229.115(a)(2)(B)(v) ofthis Part.

.." The citation contains an error, the text should read, "[e]xcept as provided in Section 229.1 15(b)(2)(B)(v) (u)(2)(B)(\) ofthis Part" PC I at I.
2. The Board also noted on page 13 ofits June 16, 20II, order that "[t]he first notice proposal also reflects editorial changes to tbe Agency's proposal by tbe Board at 229.116(a)(2), (b) and (c), on which the Agency is encouraged to comment." Upon reflection, the Agency disagrees with the Board's cbanges to 229.116(a)(2) and (b) removing cross situations to subsection to (a)(I). The Agency accordingly requests tbat the text be changed to read as follows: 

## *** 2) On orbefore January 1,2013, except as provided for in Section 229.116(c), for an HMIWI as defined in Section 229.110 (a)(I) or (a)(2) ofthis Part subject to the emissions limits under Section 229.125(c), as applicable, or Section 229.126(c) oftbis Part. 3. b) Take the following affirmative steps to demonstrate thatthe HMIWI has been rendered permanently inoperable by September 15, 2000, for an HMIWI as defined in Section 229.110 (a)(I), orby January 1,2014 for an HMIWI as defined in Sections 229.110 (a)(]) and (a)(2) ofthis Part. PC 1 at2.
The Agency continued to agree with the Board's editorial change to Section 229.11 and requested no cbange in that subsection. PC I at 2.
AUGUST 18 2011 SECOND NOTICE ORDER The Board granted the motion for expedited review on June 16, 2011, ordering first notice publication oftbe rules. Consistent with grant ofthe motion, on August 18, 201 I,theBoard today adopted a second notice proposal substantively unchanged from tbat published at first notice. The second notice proposal includes the Agency's original proposal, as amended by the May 25, 2011 and June 13,2011 errata sheets, and the agreed-upon compliance dates presented at the June 8, 20II hearing. The first notice proposal also retlected editorial changes to the Agency's proposal by the Board at 35 III. Adm. Code 229.116 (c), with which the Agency agreed. But, the second notice order restores language in 229.116 (a)(2) and (b) consistent with the Agency request in PC 1, and similarly corrects the Agency's typographical error repeated by the Board in Section 229. 142(b)(I)

. ..leAR REVIEW AND THIS FINAL ORDER
At its September 13,2011 meeting, JCAR voted a certificate ofno objection to the rules. The only JCAR suggestions were for minor, nonsubstantive changes included in the order below. The record developed demonstrates that llIinois must timely adopt more stringent rules to regulate HMIWI consistent with USEPA rules. Stericyle agrees that the rules must be amended, and agrees thatthe compliance dates as amended during the course ofthis proceeding are achievable. The undisputed economic data placed in the record to date indicates that the economic impacts ofthese rule amendments emanate from the CAA and USEPA rules they mirror. The Board accordingly finds that this record demonstrates, withinthe meaning of Section 27(b) ofthe Act thatthere is no "adverse economic impact on the People ofthe State of Illinois."
ORDER The Board directs the Clerk to submit the following adopted rules to the Secretary of State for filing. The rules will become effective upon filing with the Secretary ofState. New language is indicated by underlining, and language to be deleted by strike-through.

A lengthier description ofthis rulemaking is contained in the Board's final opinion and orderin Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 229: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HM1Wll, Rll-20 (September 22, 2011). The adopted rules arebased on aILLINOIS REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROLBOARD
NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS proposal filed December 23,2011 by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). They reflect amendments adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to tighten up federal airquality standards, including new sourceperformance standards and emissions guidelines. The proposed rules are more stringent than existingrules, and have aJanuary 1, 2014 compliance date. The !EPA reports Illinois currentlyhas only one HMIWI facility to which the new rules would apply: the Stericycle, Inc. facility located in Clinton, DeWitt County. The Board has held a hearing on the proposed rules on June 8, 2011. Stericycle testified that it believed itcould come into complianceby the various interim dates set in the rules.
IfIllinois does not adopt rules as state law, USEPA will act instead. USEPA adopted its "Standards ofPerformance for New Stationary Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: HospitaVMedicallInfectious Waste Incinerators" at 74 Fed. Reg. 51368 (Oct. 6, 2009). Section I29(b)(3) ofthe federal CleanAirAct (CAA), 42 USC7429(c), requires USEPA to develop a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) within two years offederal rule promulgation ofrules Le. by October 6, 20II, unless the states adopt an approvable State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision eontaining the new incineratorrules

-----Original Message----- From: Summerhays.John@epamail.epa.gov [mailto:Summerhays.John@epamail.epa.gov] Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 5:39 PM To: Matoesian, Charles Cc: Panos.Christos@epamail.epa.gov Subject: SIP Submittal Contents

Charles,
Thank you for asking about SIP submittal requirements. USEPA has been working to reduce the amount of paper that states need to submit in SIP submittals. I would especially point to rulemaking that we published on July 16, 2007, at 72 FR 38792, making numerous changes to SIP processing and SIP submittal requirements. Note especially that 40 CFR 51.103 ("Submission of plans") now authorizes states to submit 2 hard copies and one electronic copy of a SIP submittal, in lieu of submitting 5 hard copies. Indeed, given that we make the SIP available to the public primarily in electronic form, we actually prefer the approach of states submitting 2 hard copies accompanied by an electronic copy. The official requirements for contents of a submittal are given in 40 CFR 51 Appendix V, defining completeness criteria. However, the state must use judgment in deciding what materials should be submitted to meet these criteria, especially with respect to the technical material that justifies the substantive content of the submittal. Nevertheless, the following are some specific suggestions:

- Most of the administrative materials required under Appendix V are self explanatory and can be satisfied with brief documentation, commonly just a few pages in length. I might suggest using a SIP checklist (like many other states do), insofar as it may be an easier and briefer way to document that you are meeting the procedural requirements. Let me know if you'd like to see a sample.

- Appendix V 2.l(h) requires a compilation of public comments and the state's response thereto; Appendix V does not require submittal of hearing transcripts. Occasionally the state may decide that a hearing transcript provides useful documentation of an issue pertinent to a submittal, but more commonly the comment summary and response is a more concise and more useful discussion of pertinent issues.

- While EPA documents may be an important part of the record in Illinois' rulemaking, it is never necessary to submit EPA documents to EPA for EPA's rulemaking.- Given that the TPeB maintains an electronic docket file for its rulemakings, I would suggest that each submittal based on TPeB rulemaking provide a link to their docket. This is not a substitute for submitting the documents that are necessary to satisfy App. V, but this is an appropriate means of alerting us to the availability of more peripheral documents, such as hearing transcripts usually are.

- With respect to technical support lApp. V 2.2), remember that the submitted materlal should be limited to the material that helps us judge the merits of the submittal. The state will need to make judgments for each submittal as to the issues that need to be addressed and the types of materials that need to be provided for EPA to conduct its review. States have often submitted a substantial volume of material that was not necessary for EPA to evaluate the key issues of the submittals. We would be happy to consult on what materials to include in particular submittals at your request.
