Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 702 - RCRA AND UIC PERMIT PROGRAMS › Subpart A - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 702.105 - Rulemaking

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Identical-in-Substance Regulations
1)
				Generally applicable federal rules. Twice each year, the Board reserves
				identical-in-substance rulemaking dockets pursuant to Sections 7.2, 13(c), and
				22.4(a) of the Act. The Board's intent is generally to include all federal RCRA
				or UIC amendments that occurred in the appropriate of the prior concluded
				update periods of January 1 through June 30 or July 1 through December 31. The
				Board reviews the federal actions that occurred in the period of interest and
				includes those that require Board action in the reserved docket. The Board
				itself initiates any necessary amendments to the RCRA or UIC program, so no
				person needs to file a rulemaking proposal for the included amendments. The
				Board routinely excludes from these identical-in-substance proposals those
				federal amendments that pertain to facilities or activities that exist or occur
				outside Illinois.
2) The Board does
				not generally include site-specific federal amendments in an
				identical-in-substance rulemaking proposal without a request from a member of
				the regulated community. The owner or operator of a facility subject to a
				site-specific federal rule that wishes the Board to incorporate that rule into
				the Illinois regulations should submit a request to the Clerk of the Board for
				inclusion of that site-specific rule in a future identical-in-substance
				rulemaking proposal. Any person wishing such inclusion may petition the Board
				to adopt appropriate amendments to the Illinois RCRA or UIC program pursuant to
				Sections 7.2 and 13(c) or 22.4(a) of the Act. The petition must take the form
				of a proposal for rulemaking pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101 and 102. The
				proposal must include a listing of all amendments of interest to the petitioner
				together with copies of the Federal Register notices on which the amendments
				are to be based.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 702 - RCRA AND UIC PERMIT PROGRAMS › Subpart A - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 702.106 - Adoption of Agency Criteria

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				The Agency may, in its sole discretion, adopt criteria that will give guidance
				to the public as to what it will approve in RCRA and UIC permit applications
				and as to what conditions it will impose in permit issuance. The statutory
				authority for the Agency adopting such criteria is the Agency's authority to
				issue permits pursuant to Sections 4 and 39 of the Act, and the requirement of
				the Administrative Procedure Act [ 5 ILCS 100 ] that agencies codify as rules
				those policies or interpretations of general applicability that affect persons
				outside the Agency.
b) With respect
				to review of permit applications and establishment of permit conditions, the
				Agency must adopt as criteria any policies and interpretations of general
				applicability that affect persons outside the Agency.
c) Any criteria that the Agency adopts must
				include each of the following:
1) Clear
				references to related provisions of the Act and Board regulations;
2) A statement that the criteria are not
				Board regulations;
3) A statement
				that the criteria apply only to review of permit applications and establishment
				of conditions; and
4) Procedures to
				be followed if an applicant wishes to deviate from Agency criteria.

				  730, 733, 738, or 739 are to be done as part of an original permit application
				  or a proceeding for modification of an issued permit. Such actions are subject
				  to the procedural requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 705.
a) Any final Agency action on an original
				permit application, a proceeding for modification of an issued permit, or any
				action for review of a final Agency determination required by these regulations
				may be appealed to the Board pursuant to Title X of the Environmental
				Protection Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105 and
				705.212.
b) Other actions that are not required by
				these regulations, whether undertaken by the Agency gratuitously or pursuant to
				a statutory authorization, such as one taken to enforce a bond, insurance
				policy, or similar instrument of a contractual nature or one intended to guide
				a regulated person in seeking compliance with the regulations, may not be
				permit modifications reviewable by the Board. The affected person may seek
				review of an Agency determination that is not a permit determination in any
				court of competent jurisdiction.

				an adjusted standard pursuant to Section 28.2 of the Act and Subtitle D of 35
				Ill. Adm. Code 104.

				  conditions, pursuant to Title VIII of the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.
a) A formal complaint filed with the Board
				will initiate a civil enforcement action in which the complainant bears the
				burden of proving that the respondent committed the alleged
				violations.
b) The Board will
				forward any informal complaint to the Agency, and the Agency must investigate
				the alleged violations set forth in the complaint.
