Subject: April 27, 2021 Conference Call with the State of Illinois Representatives
On April 27, 201 EPA held a conference call with representatives of the State of Illinois to discuss the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from PERC Dry Cleaning Facilities (Dry Cleaning NESHAP).  The following people participated in the call:
Dixon Nwaji, Illinois Bureau of Air
Rick Fiddyment, Illinois SBEAP
Brian Storey, Project Lead
Keith Barnett, MMG Group Leader
Ryan Callihan, Economist
Steven McLeod, RTI
The following information was shared with the group on the call regarding Illinois's management of dry-cleaning facilities.
    The State of Illinois (IEPA  -  under Bureau of Land) runs the Dry Cleaner Environmental Response Trust Fund, it's through them (and the Illinois State Dept of Revenue) in which dry cleaners must be licensed (assessed according to the amount of solvent used annually). The Bureau of Land publishes a list (pdf) of facilities with a current license.
    Dry Cleaner compliance notebooks issued in January each year.
    The State requires dry cleaners to report annual perchloroethylene (perc) usage.
    Many of the dry cleaners were consolidating, turning locations into "drop stores", where garments are collected at satellite locations, and then transported to a centralized location where all the cleaning is performed.
    The one major source noted on the call was CD One Price Cleaners, located out of Chicago.
    Mr. Fiddyment mentioned that antidotally from his discussions, if someone buys a dry cleaning business, they are switching from perc to petroleum.
