Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 291 - RULES FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF AIR QUALITY IMPACT ANALYSES TO BE USED IN SUPPORT OF PERMIT APPLICATIONS › Subpart A - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 291.101 - Statutory Authority

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
These rules are promulgated pursuant to authority conferred
				  on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) by Sections 4 and 39
				  of the Environmental Protection Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 111 1/2, pars.
				  1004 and 1039) (Act).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 291 - RULES FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF AIR QUALITY IMPACT ANALYSES TO BE USED IN SUPPORT OF PERMIT APPLICATIONS › Subpart A - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 291.102 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) These rules were
				developed by the Agency to provide guidance to sources that choose to show
				compliance with Section 9(a) of the Act or Rule 102 of the Pollution Control
				Board Rules and Regulations, Chapter 2: Air Pollution (codified as 35 Ill. Adm.
				Code
				201.141
				), by performing comprehensive air quality impact evaluations.
b) These rules were formulated in response to
				the remand by the Illinois Supreme Court to the Pollution Control Board (Board)
				of the adoption of Rules 203(g)(1), 204(a)(1) and 204(c)(1)(A) (codified as 35
				Ill. Adm. Code
				212.201
				through
				212.205,
				214.121(a)
				and
				214.141
				), which established particulate and sulfur dioxide emission standards for new
				and existing fuel combustion sources. Commonwealth Edison v. Pollution Control
				Board, 62 Ill. 2d 494 (1976). The Court's decision, however, did not eliminate
				the requirement of construction or operating permits for solid fuel emission
				sources; it also did not eliminate the prohibition of air pollution contained
				in Section 9(a) and Rule 102 nor the prohibition of ambient air quality
				violations contained in Rule 102.
c) Thus, for any period that Rules 203(g)(1),
				204(a)(1) or 204(c)(1)(A) are not effective, construction and operating permit
				applications for solid fuel combustion sources will be evaluated on the basis
				of comprehensive air quality impact evaluations performed by the applicant and
				designed to enable the Agency to determine the status of compliance with
				respect to the air quality provisions of Section 9(a) and Rule 102.
d) In lieu of performing comprehensive air
				quality impact evaluations in accordance with these rules, the applicant may
				elect to show compliance with the emission limitations contained in Rules
				203(g)(1), 204(a)(1) and 204(c)(1)(A), even if those rules are not currently
				effective. Compliance with these emissions limitations will usually be deemed
				by the Agency to be sufficient to assure compliance with the air quality
				provisions of Section 9(a) of the Act and Rule 102. Of course, for any period
				of time in which Rules 203(g)(1), 204(a)(1) or 204(c)(1)(A) are in effect, the
				permit applicant must show compliance with these rules, without regard to
				comprehensive air quality analysis done pursuant to these rules. Compliance
				with these rules may only be used to support permit applications when Rules
				204(g)(1), 204(a)(1) or 204(c)(1)(A) are not effective.
