5 Section 40 as follows:
6 (415 ILCS 170/40 new)
7 Sec. 40. Guidance from United States Environmental
8 Protection Agency; PFAS monitoring plan; technical assistance;
9 PFAS disposal program.
10 (a) The Agency shall follow the most up-to-date guidance
11 to states from the United States Environmental Protection
12 Agency on addressing the discharge of PFAS in National
13 Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits;
14 however, the Agency shall not require monitoring for PFAS in
15 influent, effluent, and biosolids to commence less than 30
16 days after the United States Environmental Protection Agency
17 adopts an approved method for analyzing PFAS in these
18 matrices. Monitoring required under NPDES permits shall be
19 limited to those specific PFAS compounds for which an
20 analytical method has been approved by the United States

1 (1) monitoring PFAS occurrence in wastewater flows
2 from industrial and domestic sources, stormwater
3 discharges, and solid waste streams;
4 (2) gathering State-specific information in order to
5 craft effective policies to address PFAS occurrence in
6 wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste; and
7 (3) gathering data to inform PFAS source reduction and
8 pollution prevention programs, including, but not limited
9 to, industrial pretreatment programs administered by
10 publicly owned treatment works.
11 The plan shall be submitted to the Governor and the
12 General Assembly by July 1, 2024.
13 (c) The Prairie Research Institute's Illinois Sustainable
14 Technology Center shall provide technical assistance to
15 industrial wastewater dischargers in best management
16 practices, pollution prevention, production substitution, and
17 elimination to reduce or eliminate PFAS compounds.
18 (d) The Agency shall establish a take-back program for
19 fire departments that use and store firefighting foam
20 containing PFAS. Fire departments that participated in the
21 most recent survey described in Section 25 shall be eligible
22 to participate in the program, but participation in the
23 program shall not be required. The program shall provide
24 funding and resources to ensure the proper destruction of
25 firefighting foam containing PFAS. The program shall continue
