Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 704 - UIC PERMIT PROGRAM › Subpart I - REQUIREMENTS FOR CLASS V INJECTION WELLS › Section 704.288 - Additional Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Additional requirements are as follows:
a) Additional Requirements for Large-Capacity
				Cesspools Statewide. See Section
				704.285
				to determine the applicability of these additional requirements. Large-capacity
				cesspools are prohibited.
b)
				Additional Requirements for Motor Vehicle Waste Disposal Wells. See Section
				704.285
				to determine the applicability of these additional requirements.
1) If the motor vehicle waste disposal well
				is existing (operational or under construction by April 5, 2000) the following
				applies:
A) If the well is in a groundwater
				protection area, the owner or operator must close the well or obtain a permit
				within one year after the completion of the local source water assessment; the
				Agency must extend the closure deadline, but not the permit application
				deadline, for up to one year if it determines that the most efficient
				compliance option is connection to a sanitary sewer or installation of new
				treatment technology and the extension is necessary to implement the compliance
				option;
B) If the well is in
				another sensitive groundwater area, the owner or operator must immediately
				close the well or obtain a permit. The Agency may extend the closure deadline,
				but not the permit application deadline, for up to one year if it determines
				that the most efficient compliance option is connection to a sanitary sewer or
				installation of new treatment technology and the extension is necessary to
				implement the compliance option;
C)
				If the owner or operator plans to seek a waiver from the ban and apply for a
				permit by the date the owner or operator submits its permit application, the
				owner or operator must meet the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for drinking
				water, set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611, at the point of injection while the
				permit application is under review, if the owner or operator chooses to keep
				operating the well;
D) If the owner
				or operator receives a permit, the owner or operator must comply with all
				permit conditions by the dates specified in its permit, if the owner or
				operator chooses to keep operating the well, including requirements to meet
				MCLs and other health-based standards at the point of injection, follow best
				management practices, and monitor the injectate and sludge quality;
E) This subsection (b)(1)(E) corresponds with
				40 CFR
				144.88(b)(1)(v), which
				provides a contingency for compliance before dates now past. This statement
				maintains structural consistency with the federal rules.
F) This subsection (b)(1)(F) corresponds with
				40 CFR
				144.88(b)(1)(vi), which
				provides a contingency for compliance before dates now past. This statement
				maintains structural consistency with the federal rules.
G) If the owner or operator plans to close
				its well, the owner or operator must notify the Agency of its intent to close
				the well (this includes closing the well prior to conversion) by at least 30
				days prior to closure.
BOARD NOTE: In the corresponding note to
				  40 CFR
				  144.83(a), USEPA states that
				  this information is requested on the federal form entitled "Preclosure
				  Notification for Closure of Injection Wells". Although the form "Preclosure
				  Notification for Closure of Injection Wells" is acceptable to USEPA, the Agency
				  may develop alternative forms for use in this State.
BOARD NOTE: Any Agency determination of the most efficient
				  compliance option under subsection (b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), or (b)(1)(E) is
				  subject to Board review pursuant to Section 40 of the Act.
