Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				All community water supplies, including those that meet the criteria in Section
				17(b) of the Act and any exempt community water supply as defined in Section
				9.1 of the Public Water Supply Operations Act [ 415 ILCS 45 ], must have a
				cross connection control program to educate and inform water supply consumers
				regarding prevention of the entry of contaminants into the distribution
				system.
b) The cross connection
				control program must include the following:
1) For any new service connection, the
				community water supply must evaluate the risk of cross connection whereby an
				unsafe substance may enter a community water supply.
2) A community water supply must conduct a
				cross connection control survey of the distribution system at least every three
				years. The survey must be conducted by the owner, official custodian or an
				authorized delegate. The survey must evaluate the risk of an unsafe substance
				entering a community water supply through each service connection to the
				distribution system of the community water supply. This survey is not intended
				to include an actual visual inspection of piping or plumbing systems.
3) From each completed survey, the community
				water supply must develop an inventory of the following:
A) all customers surveyed;
B) the number of customers who responded to
				the survey;
C) identification of
				service connections not required to have a backflow preventer installed under
				77 Ill. Adm. Code
				890.1130;
D) identification of service connections
				required to have a backflow preventer installed under 77 Ill. Adm. Code
				890.1130;
E) backflow preventers
				installed;
F) service connections
				that require further risk evaluation; and
G) corrective actions to mitigate cross
				connections.
4) An
				ordinance, tariff, or required condition for service, whichever is applicable,
				that meets the Illinois Plumbing Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code 890), must be adopted
				and enforced.
5) The community
				water supply must maintain records of all backflow preventers that require
				annual testing under 77 Ill. Adm. Code 890 and identified in subsections (b)(2)
				and (b)(3).

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.100 - Purpose, Scope, and Applicability

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) This Part satisfies the mandate in Section
				17.5 of the Environmental
				Protection Act (Act) requiring the Board to adopt regulations that are
				identical in substance with federal regulations the United States Environmental
				Protection Agency (USEPA) adopted under Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a), and
				1445(a) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (42 U.S.C.
				300g-1(b),
				300g-3(c),
				300g-6(a), and
				300j-4(a)).
b) This Part establishes primary drinking
				water regulations (NPDWRs) under SDWA. This Part also includes additional State
				requirements that are consistent with and more stringent than the USEPA
				regulations (Section 7.2(a)(6) of
				the Act). The Board marked the latter provisions as "additional State
				requirements". These additional State requirements apply only to CWSs.
BOARD NOTE: This subsection (b) derives from
				  40 CFR
				  141.1.
c) This Part applies to suppliers, owners and
				operators of PWSs, and persons affecting the quality of water the public
				consumes from suppliers or PWSs. PWSs include CWSs, non-CWSs, and NTNCWSs, as
				Section 611.101 defines these terms.
1) A CWS must obtain a permit from the
				Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				602.
2) A non-CWS supplier is
				subject to additional rules of the Illinois Department of Public Health (Public
				Health or DPH) under Section 9 of the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act
				[415 ILCS
				55/9 ], including 77 Ill. Adm. Code 900.
3) A non-CWS supplier needs not obtain a
				permit or other approval from the Agency or file reports or other documents
				with the Agency. Any provision in this Part requiring a non-CWS supplier to
				obtain a permit or approval or file reports or other documents requires the
				non-CWS supplier to obtain the comparable form of permit or approval from or
				file the comparable report or other document with Public Health.
4) Any person introducing pipes, pipe or
				plumbing fittings, or fixtures, solder, or flux into commerce or installing or
				repairing a facility providing water for human consumption using these items
				must comply with Section
				611.126.
BOARD NOTE: Section 611.126, requiring lead-free pipes,
				  fittings, fixtures, solder, and flux for drinking water, applies to persons
				  other than suppliers and PWSs.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.110 - Special Exception Permits

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Agency must evaluate a request for a
				SEP granting relief from monitoring requirements of Section
				611.601,
				611.602, or
				611.603 (IOCs, excluding the
				Section 611.603 monitoring frequency
				requirements for cyanide); Section
				611.646(f) (a
				GWS supplier for Phase I, Phase II, and Phase V VOCs); Section
				611.646(d)
				(only as to initial monitoring for 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene); or Section
				611.648(d)
				(Phase II, Phase IIB, and Phase V SOCs) under this Section. The Agency must
				evaluate on the basis of known previous use (including transport, storage, or
				disposal) of the contaminant in the watershed or zone of influence of the
				system under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 671.
BOARD NOTE: The Agency may only issue a SEP from the Section
				  611.603 monitoring frequency for
				  cyanide based on subsection (c), not based on this subsection (a).
1) If the Agency determines that there was no
				prior use of the contaminant in the water system's watershed or zone of
				influence, the Agency must issue the SEP; or
2) If anyone previously used the contaminant
				or the previous use is unknown, the Agency must consider certain factors:
A) Previous analytical results;
B) The system's proximity to any possible
				point source of contamination (including spills or leaks at or near a water
				treatment facility; at manufacturing, distribution, or storage facilities; from
				hazardous and municipal waste land fills; or from waste handling or treatment
				facilities) or non-point source of contamination (including the use of
				pesticides and other land application uses of the contaminant);
C) The environmental persistence and
				transport of the contaminant;
D)
				How well local conditions protect the water source against contamination,
				including:
i) For a GWS, well depth, soil
				type, well casing integrity, and wellhead protection; and
ii) For an SWS, watershed
				protection;
E) For Phase
				II, Phase IIB, and Phase V SOCs:
i) Elevated
				nitrate levels at the water source; and
ii) The use of PCBs in equipment the supplier
				uses to produce, store, and distribute water (including pumps, transformers,
				etc.); and
F) For Phase
				I, Phase II, and Phase V VOCs (under Section 611.646), the number of persons
				the PWS serves, and the proximity of a smaller system to a larger
				one.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.111 - Relief Equivalent to SDWA Section 1415(a) Variances

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
This Section describes how the Board grants relief equivalent
				  to that available from USEPA under section 1415(a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) of SDWA
				  (42 U.S.C.
				  300g-4(a)(1)(A) and
				  (a)(1)(B)). Every variance under Sections 35
				  through 38 of the Act must require that the supplier comply within five years.
				  SDWA section 1415 variances need not do so. A supplier may seek State
				  regulatory relief equivalent to a SDWA section 1415 variance using one of three
				  procedural mechanisms: a variance under Sections 35 through 38 of the Act and
				  Subpart B of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 104; a site-specific rule under Sections 27 and
				  28 of the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102; or an adjusted standard under Section
				  28.1 of the Act and Subpart D of
				  35 Ill. Adm. Code 104.
a) The Board
				will grant a variance, a site-specific rule, or an adjusted standard from an
				MCL or a treatment technique under this Section.
1) The supplier must file a petition under
				the applicable of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102 or 104.
2) If a State requirement does not have a
				federal counterpart, the Board needs not follow this Section when granting
				relief from the State requirements.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.112 - Relief Equivalent to SDWA Section 1416 Exemptions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
This Section describes how the Board grants relief equivalent
				  to that available from USEPA under section 1416 of the SDWA (42 U.S.C.
				  300g-5). Every variance under Sections 35
				  through 37 of the Act must require the supplier to comply within five years. A
				  SDWA section 1416 exemption needs not do so. A supplier may seek State
				  regulatory relief equivalent to a SDWA section 1416 exemption through one of
				  three procedural mechanisms: a variance under Sections 35 through 37 of the Act
				  and Subpart B of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 104; a site-specific rule under Sections 27
				  and 28 of the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102; or an adjusted standard under
				  Section 28.1 of the Act and Subpart D of
				  35 Ill. Adm. Code 104.
a) The Board
				will grant a variance, a site-specific rule, or an adjusted standard from an
				MCL or treatment technique requirement, or from both, under this Section.
1) The supplier must file a petition under
				the applicable of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102 or 104.
2) If a State requirement does not have a
				federal counterpart, the Board needs not follow this Section when granting
				relief from the State requirements.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.113 - Alternative Treatment Techniques

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
This Section is equivalent to section 1415(a)(3) of SDWA
				  (42 U.S.C.
				  300g-4(a)(3)).
a) The Board will grant any adjusted standard
				from a treatment technique requirement under this Section.
b) The supplier seeking an adjusted standard
				must file a petition under Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 104.
c) As justification the supplier must
				demonstrate that an alternative treatment technique is at least as effective in
				lowering the level of the contaminant for which a rule prescribes the treatment
				technique requirement.
d) As a
				condition of any adjusted standard, the Board will require the use of the
				alternative treatment technique.
e)
				The Board will grant an adjusted standard for an alternative treatment
				technique subject to standard conditions:
1)
				The adjusted standard must include the applicable limitations in
				40 CFR
				142, Subpart G, incorporated by reference in
				Section 611.102; and
2) The adjusted standard must be subject to
				review and approval by USEPA under
				40 CFR
				142.46 before it becomes effective.
BOARD NOTE: Subsections (a) through (f) derive from section
				  1415(a)(3) of SDWA (42
				  U.S.C. 300g-4(a)(3)).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.114 - Siting Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Before entering into a financial commitment for or beginning
				  to construct a new PWS or increasing the capacity of an existing PWS, a
				  supplier must obtain a construction permit under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  602.101 and, to the extent
				  practicable, avoid locating part or all of the new or expanded facility at a
				  site having certain characteristics:
a) The site must not be subject to a
				significant risk from earthquakes, floods, fires, or other disasters that could
				cause a breakdown of the PWS or a portion of the PWS. As used in this
				subsection, "significant risk" means a greater risk to the new or expanded
				facility than would exist at other locations within the area the supplier
				serves; or
b) Except for intake
				structures, the site must not be within a 100-year floodplain.
BOARD NOTE: This Section derives from
					 40 CFR
					 141.5.

				nonresidential facility providing water for human consumption.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.130 - Special Requirements for Certain Variances and Adjusted Standards

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Relief from the
				Fluoride MCL
1) When granting any variance or
				adjusted standard to a CWS supplier from the maximum contaminant level for
				fluoride in Section 611.301(b), the
				Board will require the supplier to apply the BAT identified in subsection
				(a)(4) as a condition to the relief, unless the supplier demonstrates through
				comprehensive engineering assessments that applying BAT is not technically
				appropriate and technically feasible for that supplier.
2) If the Board does not require the supplier
				to apply BAT, the Board will require specific conditions for relief from the
				fluoride MCL:
A) The supplier must continue
				investigating certain methods as alternative means of significantly reducing
				the fluoride level on a definite schedule:
i)
				Modifying lime softening;
ii) Alum
				coagulation;
iii)
				Electrodialysis;
iv) Anion exchange
				resins;
v) Well-field
				management;
vi) Using alternative
				sources of raw water; and
vii)
				Regionalization; and
B)
				The supplier must report results of its investigations to the Agency.
3) The Agency must petition the
				Board to reconsider or modify a variance or adjusted standard under Subpart I
				of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101 if the Agency determines that an alternative method
				the supplier identified under subsection (a)(2) is technically feasible and
				would result in a significant reduction in fluoride.
4) Two processes are BAT for fluoride:
A) Activated alumina absorption centrally
				applied; and
B) Reverse osmosis
				centrally applied.
BOARD NOTE: This subsection derives (a) from
				  40 CFR
				  142.61.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.131 - Relief Equivalent to SDWA Section 1415(e) Small System Variance

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
This Section is the State equivalent of SDWA section 1415(e)
				  (42 U.S.C.
				  300g-4(e)).
a) A PWS serving fewer than 10,000 persons
				may obtain a variance from an MCL or treatment technique under this Section.
				The PWS supplier must file a variance petition under Subpart B of 35 Ill. Adm.
				Code 104, except as this Section provides otherwise.
b) The Board may grant a small system
				variance to a PWS supplier serving fewer than 3,300 or fewer persons. The Board
				may grant a small system variance to a PWS serving more than 3,300 persons but
				fewer than 10,000 persons subject to USEPA's approval. In determining the
				number of persons the PWS serves, the Board will include persons consecutive
				systems serve. A small system variance for a PWS also applies to any
				consecutive system it serves.
c)
				Availability of a Variance
1) A small system
				variance is not available under this Section from an NPDWR for a microbial
				contaminant (including a bacterium, virus, or other organism) or an indicator
				or treatment technique for a microbial contaminant.
2) A small system variance under this Section
				is available from certain MCLs or treatment techniques:
A) NPDWRs that USEPA adopted on or after
				January 1, 1986; and
B) NPDWRs for
				which USEPA publishes a small system variance technology under section
				1412(b)(15) of SDWA (42
				U.S.C. 300g-1(b)(15)).
BOARD NOTE: Small system variances are not available above a
				  pre-1986 MCL even if USEPA subsequently revised the MCL. If the USEPA revises a
				  pre-1986 MCL and makes it more stringent, a variance is available for that
				  contaminant, but only up to the pre-1986 maximum contaminant level. See subpart
				  B of 40 CFR
				  141 (1985) for the pre-1986 MCLs and
				  treatment techniques. See "Variance Technology Findings for Contaminants
				  Regulated Before 1996", USEPA, Office of Water, doc. no. EPA 815-R-98-003
				  (available online at nepis.epa.gov search "815R98003").
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 611.160 - Composite Correction Program

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Agency may issue a SEP requiring a PWS
				to conduct a Composite Correction Program (CCP). The CCP must consist of two
				elements: a Comprehensive Performance Evaluation (CPE) and a Comprehensive
				Technical Assistance (CTA).
1) A CPE is a
				thorough review and analysis of a plant's performance-based capabilities and
				associated administrative, operation, and maintenance practices. The CPE must
				identify factors that may adversely affect the plant's ability to comply and
				emphasize approaches the PWS can implement without significant capital
				improvements.
2) For purposes of

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart B - FILTRATION AND DISINFECTION › Section 611.212 - Groundwater under Direct Influence of Surface Water

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Agency must require a CWS supplier to demonstrate under
				  Section 611.201 whether it uses
				  "groundwater under the direct influence of surface water". Based on the
				  information the supplier provides, the Agency must determine whether a PWS uses
				  "groundwater under the direct influence of surface water". The Agency must base
				  this determination on specific factors:
a) Physical Characteristics of the Source.
				Whether the source is obviously a surface water source, such as a lake or
				stream. Other sources possibly subject to influence from surface waters include
				springs, infiltration galleries, wells, or other collectors in subsurface
				aquifers.
b) Well Construction
				Characteristics and Geology with Field Evaluation
1) The Agency may use the wellhead protection
				program's requirements, which include delineation of wellhead protection areas,
				assessment of sources of contamination, and implementation of management
				control systems, to determine if the wellhead is under the direct influence of
				surface water.
2) A well less than
				or equal to 50 feet deep is likely under the direct influence of surface
				water.
3) A well more than 50 feet
				deep is likely under the direct influence of surface water, unless it includes
				specific features:
A) A surface sanitary seal
				using bentonite clay, concrete, or similar material;
B) A well casing penetrating consolidated
				(slowly permeable) material; and
C)
				A well casing that is only perforated or screened below consolidated (slowly
				permeable) material.
4)
				A source less than 200 feet from any surface water is likely under the direct
				influence of surface water.

				groundwater source under the direct influence of surface water. This Subpart B
				also establishes treatment techniques in lieu of MCLs for specific
				contaminants: Giardia lamblia, viruses, HPC bacteria, Legionella, and
				turbidity. A supplier using a surface water source or a groundwater source
				under the direct influence of surface water must treat that source water and
				comply with these treatment techniques. The treatment techniques comprise
				installing and properly operating water treatment processes that reliably
				achieve specific objectives:
1) At least
				99.9 percent (3-log) removal or
				inactivation of Giardia lamblia cysts between a point where the raw water is
				not subject to recontamination by surface water runoff and a downstream point
				before or at the first customer; and
2) At least
				99.99 percent (4-log) removal or
				inactivation of viruses between a point where the raw water is not subject to
				recontamination by surface water runoff and a downstream point before or at the
				first customer.

					 CFR 141.72(a).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 611 - PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS › Subpart B - FILTRATION AND DISINFECTION › Section 611.242 - Filtered PWSs

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Each supplier providing filtration treatment must provide
				  disinfection treatment:
a) The
				disinfection treatment must sufficiently ensure that the system's total
				treatment processes achieve at least
				99.9 percent (3-log)
				inactivation or removal of Giardia lamblia cysts and at least
				99.99 percent (4-log)
				inactivation or removal of viruses.
b) The RDC in the water entering the
				distribution system, measured as Sections
				611.531(b) and
				611.533(b)
				specify, cannot be less than
				0.2 mg/L for more than four
				hours.
c) RDC in the Distribution
				System
1) The RDC in the distribution system,
				measured as total chlorine, combined chlorine, or chlorine dioxide, as Sections
				611.531(b) and
				611.533(c)
				specify, cannot be undetectable in more than 5 percent of the samples the
				supplier collects each month for any two consecutive months during which the
				system serves water to the public. Water in the distribution system with HPC
				less than or equal to 500/ml, measured as Section
				611.531(a)
				specifies, is deemed to have a detectable RDC for complying with this
				requirement. Thus, the value "V" in this formula cannot exceed 5 percent in one
				month, for any two consecutive months:
where:
a
=
The number of times when the supplier measured the
							 RDC;
b
=
The number of times when the supplier did not measure
							 the RDC but did measure HPC;
c
=
The number of times when the supplier measured but
							 did not detect RDC but did not measure HPC;
d
=
The number of times when the supplier measured but
							 did not detect the RDC, and HPC is greater than 500/ml; and
e
=
The number of times when the supplier did not measure
							 the RDC, and HPC is greater than 500/ml.
2)
				Subsection (c)(1) does not apply if the Agency determines, under Section
				611.213, that a supplier has no
				means for having a sample analyzed for HPC by a certified laboratory under the
				requisite time and temperature conditions Section
				611.531(a)
				specifies and that the supplier provides adequate disinfection in its
				distribution system.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A supplier using a surface water source or a groundwater
				  source under the direct influence of surface water must provide both
				  disinfection treatment, as Section
				  611.242 specifies, and
				  filtration treatment complying with subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e)
				  within 18 months after the Agency issues a SEP requiring the supplier to apply
				  filtration treatment. Failing to apply filtration treatment before the time the
				  Agency provides in a SEP violates a treatment technique.
a) Conventional Filtration Treatment or
				Direct Filtration
1) For a supplier using
				conventional filtration or direct filtration, the turbidity level of its
				filtered water must not exceed
				0.5 NTU in more than five
				percent of the measurements each month under Sections
				611.531(a) and
				611.533(a).
				However, if the Agency issues a SEP determining that the supplier can achieve
				at least 99.9 percent removal or
				inactivation of Giardia lamblia cysts at some turbidity level higher than
				0.5 NTU in at least 95 percent
				of the measurements each month, the Agency must substitute this higher
				turbidity limit in the SEP. However, the Agency must not approve a turbidity
				limit allowing more than 1 NTU in more than five percent of the samples each
				month under Sections 611.531(a) and
				611.533(a).
2) The turbidity level of representative
				samples of a supplier's filtered water must never exceed 5 NTU.
3) A supplier serving 10,000 or more persons
				must comply with the turbidity in Section
				611.743(a).
4) A supplier serving fewer than 10,000
				people must comply with the turbidity in Section
				611.955.
