Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 652 - COMMUNITY WATER SUPPLIES › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 652.110 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In addition to these definitions, all definitions of the

				  For purposes of this Part:
"Act" means the Illinois Environmental Protection Act [415
				  ILCS 5].
"Agency" means the Environmental Protection Agency
				  established by Section 4 of the Environmental Protection Act.
"Capacity" means the ability to plan for, achieve and
				  maintain compliance with applicable drinking water standards. Capacity has

				  all three areas is necessary for a system to have "capacity".
"Capacity development" is the process of water systems
				  acquiring and maintaining adequate technical, managerial, and financial
				  capabilities to consistently provide safe drinking water. The federal Safe
				  Drinking Water Act amendments of 1996 (42 USC
				  300f et seq.) provide a framework for states
				  and water systems to work together to ensure that systems acquire and maintain
				  the technical, managerial and financial capacity needed to meet the Act's
				  public health protection objectives. (See Section 652.300.)
