11	11	1 AN ACT concerning safety.
12	12	2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
13	13	3 represented in the General Assembly:
14	14	4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Carbon
15	15	5 Dioxide Transport and Storage Protections Act.
16	16	6 Section 5. Legislative findings and objectives. The
17	17	7 General Assembly finds that:
18	18	8 (1) State law currently lacks clarity concerning the
19	19	9 rights of landowners with regard to pore space in the
20	20	10 subsurface beneath their land, limiting landowners'
21	21	11 ability to fully enjoy and protect their property.
22	22	12 (2) The transport of carbon dioxide via pipelines
23	23	13 significantly affects landowners' rights to enjoy their
24	24	14 property. Carbon dioxide pipelines may impede access to
25	25	15 property and fields, harm crops and topsoil, and pose a
26	26	16 risk of grave harm if there is a release of carbon dioxide.
27	27	17 (3) The storage of carbon dioxide in subsurface pore
28	28	18 space may have profound impacts upon the surface estate.
29	29	19 Subsurface carbon dioxide storage may require easements
30	30	20 for pipelines, injection wells, monitoring equipment, and
31	31	21 other infrastructure, and may harm crops and topsoil and
32	32	22 risk grave harm to landowners, surrounding ecosystems, and
33	33	23 water supplies if carbon dioxide is released.

528	528	1 risk of grave harm to human health, animals, and the
529	529	2 environment. No standards exist to minimize harm to humans
530	530	3 and animals in the event of a carbon dioxide pipeline leak
531	531	4 or rupture.
532	532	5 (2) Further information and analysis is necessary to
533	533	6 determine how far carbon dioxide pipelines must be
534	534	7 separated from populated and sensitive areas to minimize
535	535	8 potential harm to human health, animals, and the
536	536	9 environment.
537	537	10 (b) Within 3 months of the effective date of this Act of
538	538	11 the 103rd General Assembly, the State shall commission a study
539	539	12 evaluating how far carbon dioxide pipelines must be separated
540	540	13 from residences, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, places of
541	541	14 worship, jails, prisons, businesses, industry, other locations
542	542	15 where people congregate, and livestock, in order to ensure
543	543	16 that (i) a release of carbon dioxide will not intoxicate,
544	544	17 asphyxiate, or otherwise harm humans, livestock, or other
545	545	18 animals; and (ii) adequate time will be available for the safe
546	546	19 and successful evacuation or rescue of people and animals in
547	547	20 the event of a pipeline rupture or leak. The study shall:

1929	1929	8 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Section
1930	1930	9 9.21 of the Environmental Protection Act a specific route for
1931	1931	10 a carbon dioxide pipeline, or that the Commission review and
1932	1932	11 approve a project route width that authorizes construction of
1933	1933	12 the pipeline within a pipeline right-of-way that extends 100
1934	1934	13 feet in either direction from the route approved by the
1935	1935	14 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency identifies the areas
1936	1936	15 in which the pipeline would be located, with such width
1937	1937	16 ranging from the minimum width required for a pipeline
1938	1938	17 right-of-way up to 200 feet in width. A map of the route or
1939	1939	18 route width shall be included in the application. The purpose
1940	1940	19 for allowing the option of review and approval of a project
1941	1941	20 route width is to provide increased flexibility during the
1942	1942	21 construction process to accommodate specific landowner
1943	1943	22 requests, avoid environmentally sensitive areas, or address
1944	1944	23 special environmental permitting requirements.

2415	2415	1 receipt of the Agency's proposal. The rules must, at a
2416	2416	2 minimum:
2417	2417	3 (1) establish routing criteria for carbon dioxide
2418	2418	4 pipelines that ensure pipelines are not constructed in
2419	2419	5 locations where they would pose an undue risk of harm to
2420	2420	6 people or animals; at a minimum, the criteria shall:
2421	2421	7 (A) establish maximum exposure limits, expressed
2422	2422	8 in the form of carbon dioxide concentrations and
2423	2423	9 duration of exposure, based on the carbon dioxide
2424	2424	10 pipeline setback study required by Section 45 of the
2425	2425	11 Carbon Dioxide Transport and Storage Protections Act
2426	2426	12 and other information the Board deems relevant;
2427	2427	13 (B) bar siting of carbon dioxide pipelines within
2428	2428	14 2 miles of an Environmental Justice Community; and

2436	2436	22 (A) require that modeling of potential ruptures or
2437	2437	23 leaks be conducted, at a minimum, for areas along the
2438	2438	24 proposed pipeline route that would be located within 2

2455	2455	5 whichever is further;
2456	2456	6 (C) ensure that the modeling accounts for pipeline
2457	2457	7 diameter, flow rate, temperature, pressure, the

2461	2461	11 relevant;
2462	2462	12 (D) provide that the modeling must predict, as
2463	2463	13 accurately as possible, the dispersion of

2791	2791	17 Sec. 9.21. Carbon dioxide capture.
2792	2792	18 (a) The General Assembly finds that:
2793	2793	19 (1) The capture of carbon dioxide from industrial
2794	2794	20 facilities, including, but not limited to, ethanol plants,
2795	2795	21 methane processing facilities, and electric-generation
2796	2796	22 facilities requires a significant amount of power to
2797	2797	23 undertake, the generation of which can increase harmful
2798	2798	24 air and water pollutants.
2799	2799	25 (2) The capture of carbon dioxide generally requires
2800	2800
2801	2801

2809	2809	SB3930 - 79 - LRB103 38998 BDA 71297 b
2810	2810	1 significant volumes of water that could be used for
2811	2811	2 domestic, agricultural, recreational, or industrial uses.
2812	2812	3 (3) The capture of carbon dioxide from industrial and
2813	2813	4 electric-generation facilities has often failed to meet
2814	2814	5 objectives for capture and thus allowed more carbon
2815	2815	6 dioxide pollution into the atmosphere than proposed.
2816	2816	7 (4) The State has a long-standing policy to restore,
2817	2817	8 protect, and enhance the environment, including the purity
2818	2818	9 of the air, land, and waters, such as groundwaters, of
2819	2819	10 this State.
2820	2820	11 (5) A clean environment is essential to the growth and
2821	2821	12 well-being of this State.
2822	2822	13 (6) The capture of carbon dioxide from industrial and
2823	2823	14 electric-generation facilities will not achieve the
2824	2824	15 State's long-standing policy to restore, protect, and
2825	2825	16 enhance the environment unless clear standards are adopted
2826	2826	17 to require the reduction of air and water pollution
2827	2827	18 associated with carbon capture, to limit water use when
2828	2828	19 other important uses are in jeopardy, and to ensure that
2829	2829	20 carbon capture does not interfere with the State reaching
2830	2830	21 its clean energy goals.
2831	2831	22 (7) Meaningful participation of State residents,
2832	2832	23 especially vulnerable populations who may be affected by
2833	2833	24 regulatory actions, is critical to ensure that
2834	2834	25 environmental justice considerations are incorporated in

2847	2847	2 protect and improve the well-being of communities in this
2848	2848	3 State that bear disproportionate burdens imposed by
2849	2849	4 environmental pollution.
2850	2850	5 (a-5) The purpose of this Section is to promote a
2851	2851	6 healthful environment, including clean water, air, and land,
2852	2852	7 meaningful public involvement, and to ensure only the
2853	2853	8 responsible capture of carbon dioxide occurs in the State so
2854	2854	9 as to protect public health and to prevent pollution of the
2855	2855	10 environment.
2856	2856	11 (a-10) The provisions of this Section shall be liberally
2857	2857	12 construed to carry out the purpose of this Section as stated in
2858	2858	13 subsection (a-5).
2859	2859	14 (b) A person who seeks to construct or operate a carbon
2860	2860	15 dioxide capture project in this State must first obtain a
2861	2861	16 permit from the Agency in accordance with the rules adopted
2862	2862	17 under subsection (g).
2863	2863	18 (c) A person who seeks to capture carbon dioxide from an
2864	2864	19 industrial or electric-generation facility in this State must,
2865	2865	20 before seeking a permit in accordance with the rules adopted
2866	2866	21 under subsection (g), first conduct an environmental impact
2867	2867	22 analysis. The environmental impact analysis must:

2894	2894	13 Agency rules and guidance, will not exceed the total
2895	2895	14 amount of carbon dioxide from the capture project that is
2896	2896	15 sequestered over the life of the capture project;
2897	2897	16 (4) include a water impact analysis that details:
2898	2898	17 (A) the water sources likely to be impacted by the
2899	2899	18 capture of carbon dioxide from the facility;
2900	2900	19 (B) current uses of those water sources;
2901	2901	20 (C) potential or certain impacts to those water
2902	2902	21 sources from capture of carbon dioxide from the
2903	2903	22 facility, including, but not limited to, impacts on
2904	2904	23 water quantity, quality, and current uses of water;

2930	2930	13 at the facility while fulfilling the purpose and need for
2931	2931	14 the facility, including, but not limited to:
2932	2932	15 (A) if the carbon dioxide is proposed to be
2933	2933	16 captured at a facility that generates electricity,
2934	2934	17 energy-generation alternatives such as renewable
2935	2935	18 energy, energy storage, or energy efficiency;
2936	2936	19 (B) if the carbon dioxide is proposed to be
2937	2937	20 captured at a facility that produces fuel for motor
2938	2938	21 vehicles, aircraft, or equipment, alternatives such as
2939	2939	22 the use of electric vehicles, electric aircraft, or
2940	2940	23 alternative fuels; and
2941	2941	24 (C) if the carbon dioxide is proposed to be
2942	2942	25 captured at an industrial facility, alternative

2961	2961	8 limited to, by making a draft version of the analysis
2962	2962	9 available on a public website for not less than 60 days and
2963	2963	10 accepting comments on the proposed analysis for the
2964	2964	11 entirety of that 60-day period, together with a public
2965	2965	12 meeting at least 14 days after the posting of the draft on
2966	2966	13 the public website that provides a meaningful opportunity
2967	2967	14 for the public to ask questions, have those questions
2968	2968	15 answered, and provide comment on the draft; the final
2969	2969	16 environmental analysis must include responses to public
2970	2970	17 comments, identify all changes to the analysis made in
2971	2971	18 response to those comments, and be made available to the

2991	2991	2 current or future potential uses of the water source; and
2992	2992	3 (2) the permit includes conditions, developed in
2993	2993	4 consultation with the Illinois State Water Survey and
2994	2994	5 taking public comments into consideration, under which the
2995	2995	6 project must reduce the volume or rate of water that may be
2996	2996	7 used for the capture of carbon dioxide, up to and
2997	2997	8 including the cessation of water usage for carbon capture.
2998	2998	9 (e) No permit for the capture of carbon dioxide may be
2999	2999	10 issued unless the permit applicant demonstrates that there
3000	3000	11 will be zero non-carbon dioxide air pollution emissions
3001	3001	12 associated with the carbon dioxide capture project; these
3002	3002	13 emissions include non-carbon dioxide air pollution emitted
3003	3003	14 directly by the operation of the carbon dioxide capture
3004	3004	15 equipment, and any increase in non-carbon dioxide air
3005	3005	16 pollution emissions at the facility, relative to the baseline,
3006	3006	17 following installation of the carbon dioxide capture
3007	3007	18 equipment. The applicant may meet this requirement by
3008	3008	19 demonstrating that:
3009	3009	20 (1) pollution control technology will be installed and
3010	3010	21 operated, or existing control technology will be operated,
3011	3011	22 so as to eliminate any non-carbon dioxide air emissions
3012	3012	23 associated with the use of carbon capture; or
3013	3013	24 (2) the facility will reduce operations sufficient to
3014	3014	25 eliminate any non-carbon dioxide air emissions associated
3015	3015	26 with the use of carbon capture.

3026	3026	1 The Board shall establish requirements by rule for
3027	3027	2 determining baseline emissions from each industrial or
3028	3028	3 electric-generation facility for purposes of determining which
3029	3029	4 non-carbon dioxide air emissions are associated with the use
3030	3030	5 of carbon capture at those facilities. For existing
3031	3031	6 facilities, the baseline shall be calculated using the
3032	3032	7 12-month average of emissions for the 3 12-month periods
3033	3033	8 before January 31, 2024. For new facilities, the baseline
3034	3034	9 shall be determined using the Best Available Control
3035	3035	10 Technology, as defined in Section 169 of the federal Clean Air
3036	3036	11 Act, for the relevant air pollutants and facility and assuming
3037	3037	12 fuel consumption and hours of operation of the facility
3038	3038	13 consistent with that of facilities of similar size.
3039	3039	14 (e-1) If the applicant proposes to use amines to capture
3040	3040	15 carbon dioxide, the applicant must demonstrate that it will:
3041	3041	16 (1) install and operate the Best Available Control
3042	3042	17 Technology, as defined in Section 169 of the federal Clean
3043	3043	18 Air Act, for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate

4051	4051	19 Sec. 22.64. Carbon sequestration.
4052	4052	20 (a) The General Assembly finds that:
4053	4053	21 (1) The State has a long-standing policy to restore,
4054	4054	22 protect, and enhance the environment, including the purity
4055	4055	23 of the air, land, and waters, including groundwaters, of
4056	4056	24 this State.
4057	4057	25 (2) A clean environment is essential to the growth and

4068	4068	1 well-being of this State.
4069	4069	2 (3) The sequestration of carbon in underground
4070	4070	3 formations poses a significant and long-term risk to the
4071	4071	4 air, land, and waters, including groundwater, of the State
4072	4072	5 unless the State adopts clear standards to ensure that no
4073	4073	6 sequestered carbon escapes the underground formation into
4074	4074	7 which it is injected.
4075	4075	8 (4) Meaningful participation of State residents,
4076	4076	9 especially vulnerable populations who may be affected by
4077	4077	10 regulatory actions, is critical to ensure that
4078	4078	11 environmental justice considerations are incorporated in
4079	4079	12 the development of, decision-making related to, and
4080	4080	13 implementation of environmental laws and rulemaking that
4081	4081	14 protects and improves the well-being of communities in
4082	4082	15 this State that bear disproportionate burdens imposed by
4083	4083	16 environmental pollution.
4084	4084	17 (a-5) The purpose of this Section is to promote a
4085	4085	18 healthful environment, including clean water, air, and land,
4086	4086	19 meaningful public involvement, and to ensure only responsible
4087	4087	20 sequestration of carbon dioxide occurs in the State so as to
4088	4088	21 protect public health and to prevent pollution of the
4089	4089	22 environment.
4090	4090	23 (a-10) The provisions of this Section shall be liberally
4091	4091	24 construed to carry out the purposes of this Section.
4092	4092	25 (b) Any person seeking to sequester carbon dioxide in this
4093	4093	26 State must first obtain a carbon sequestration permit from the

4106	4106	3 (c) Except for persons who seek to sequester carbon
4107	4107	4 dioxide captured only from capture projects located in the
4108	4108	5 State, any person seeking to sequester carbon dioxide in this
4109	4109	6 State must, before seeking a carbon sequestration permit in
4110	4110	7 accordance with the rules developed under subsection (g),
4111	4111	8 first conduct an environmental impact analysis. The
4112	4112	9 environmental impact analysis must:

4116	4116	13 not limited to, Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions set forth in
4117	4117	14 guidance published by the United States Environmental
4118	4118	15 Protection Agency, of the total GHG emissions associated
4119	4119	16 with the capture, transportation, and sequestration of the
4120	4120	17 carbon dioxide proposed to be sequestered, which emissions
4121	4121	18 shall be expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent,
4122	4122	19 consistent with United States Environmental Protection
4123	4123	20 Agency rules and guidance;

4143	4143	4 other reasonable alternatives for achieving the same
4144	4144	5 volume of carbon dioxide emissions reductions as are
4145	4145	6 proposed to be achieved through carbon sequestration,
4146	4146	7 including, but not limited to:
4147	4147	8 (A) if the carbon dioxide was captured at a
4148	4148	9 facility that generates electricity, energy-generation
4149	4149	10 alternatives such as renewable energy, energy storage,
4150	4150	11 or energy efficiency;
4151	4151	12 (B) if the carbon dioxide was captured at a
4152	4152	13 facility that produces fuel for motor vehicles,
4153	4153	14 aircraft, or equipment, alternatives such as the use
4154	4154	15 of electric vehicles, electric aircraft, or
4155	4155	16 alternative fuels; and
4156	4156	17 (C) if the carbon dioxide was captured at an
4157	4157	18 industrial facility, alternative processes that could
4158	4158	19 reduce the amount of carbon dioxide generated.
4159	4159	20 For each alternative identified under this paragraph,
4160	4160	21 the person seeking to sequester carbon dioxide shall
4161	4161	22 complete a GHG inventory analysis of the alternative
4162	4162	23 consistent with paragraph (2); and

4572	4572	1 Agency must (i) immediately halt the issuance of carbon
4573	4573	2 sequestration permits and (ii) within 3 months of the
4574	4574	3 effective date of such revision, notify the Board of that
4575	4575	4 revision and propose rules requiring compliance with the
4576	4576	5 December 10, 2010 version of any amended provision. Within 18
4577	4577	6 months of the Agency's proposal, the Board shall amend the
4578	4578	7 rules issued under subsection (g) to incorporate the Agency's
4579	4579	8 proposal or an equally protective provision. The Agency may
4580	4580	9 reinitiate issuance of carbon sequestration permits after the
4581	4581	10 effective date of the amended rules required by this
4582	4582	11 subsection.
4583	4583	12 (i) Within 60 days after a sequestration operator has
4584	4584	13 obtained a carbon sequestration permit under this Section and
4585	4585	14 begun injecting carbon dioxide into the sequestration
4586	4586	15 facility, the sequestration operator shall record, with the
4587	4587	16 Recorder of Deeds in the county in which the property is
4588	4588	17 located, documents stating that (i) the pore space within the
4589	4589	18 sequestration facility will be used to sequester carbon
4590	4590	19 dioxide, and (ii) the pore space within the area of review may
4591	4591	20 be used to sequester carbon dioxide.
4592	4592	21 (j) If monitoring reveals that the carbon dioxide plume
4593	4593	22 has migrated outside of the confining zone, the sequestration
4594	4594	23 operator shall:
4595	4595	24 (A) immediately halt injection of carbon dioxide and
4596	4596	25 assess measures to restore the carbon dioxide to the
4597	4597	26 confining zone;

4609	4609	2 overlying the pore space into which the carbon dioxide has
4610	4610	3 migrated of that migration;
4611	4611	4 (C) promptly determine whether the movement of the
4612	4612	5 carbon dioxide plume may cause an endangerment to an
4613	4613	6 aquifer defined by the United States Environmental
4614	4614	7 Protection Agency as an Underground Source of Drinking
4615	4615	8 Water, and if so:
4616	4616	9 (i) immediately commence emergency response
4617	4617	10 measures required under federal Class VI regulations;
4618	4618	11 and
4619	4619	12 (ii) promptly assess whether any sources of
4620	4620	13 drinking water have been contaminated as a result of
4621	4621	14 the movement of carbon dioxide and, if so, provide an
4622	4622	15 immediate replacement source of drinking water to
4623	4623	16 affected residents that satisfies all drinking water
4624	4624	17 standards set by the United States Environmental
4625	4625	18 Protection Agency under the federal Safe Drinking
4626	4626	19 Water Act; all assessments required by this subsection
4627	4627	20 shall be made available to potentially affected
4628	4628	21 residents upon completion, without delay; and
4629	4629	22 (D) if the migration is lateral, record with the
4630	4630	23 Recorder of Deeds of the county in which the property is
4631	4631	24 located documents stating that that the pore space
4632	4632	25 underlying the surface estate has been used to sequester

4646	4646	, the Agency shall calculate the cost it will bear to
4647	4647	3 implement the carbon dioxide sequestration permit program and
4648	4648	4 shall establish a permit fee sufficient to cover those costs,
4649	4649	5 which it may update periodically as the costs of program
4650	4650	6 implementation change.
4651	4651	7 (l) Seismicity requirements for sequestration facilities.
4652	4652	8 (A) For purposes of this Section, "induced seismicity"
4653	4653	9 means seismicity above background that is recorded by a
4654	4654	10 seismic monitoring network and is attributable to the
4655	4655	11 injection or sequestration of carbon dioxide in the
4656	4656	12 subsurface.
4657	4657	13 (B) Within 2 years of the effective date of this
4658	4658	14 Section, the Agency shall, in consultation with the
4659	4659	15 Illinois State Geological Survey, propose, and the Board
4660	4660	16 shall adopt, rules establishing a protocol for monitoring
4661	4661	17 seismic activity and controlling operational activity of
4662	4662	18 sequestration facilities in an instance of induced
4663	4663	19 seismicity or seismic activity within the area of review
4664	4664	20 that measures at least 1.0 in magnitude.
4665	4665	21 (C) The rules adopted by the Board under this
4666	4666	22 subsection shall: (i) set out seismicity monitoring
4667	4667	23 requirements extending throughout the area of review of
4668	4668	24 carbon dioxide sequestration projects, which shall be
4669	4669	25 capable of detecting seismic activity of a magnitude of
4670	4670	26 0.7 or greater, and shall be calibrated with check-shots,

4682	4682	2 employ a "traffic light" control system allowing for low
4683	4683	3 levels of seismicity while including additional monitoring
4684	4684	4 and mitigation requirements when events of induced
4685	4685	5 seismicity or seismicity, measuring 1.5 or greater in
4686	4686	6 magnitude, occur within the area of review. Those
4687	4687	7 additional mitigation requirements shall include, but are
4688	4688	8 not limited to, (i) immediate cessation of injection
4689	4689	9 operations and inspection and evaluation of any and all
4690	4690	10 damage to all injection wells, monitoring wells, or other
4691	4691	11 plugged or unplugged well penetrations or equipment
4692	4692	12 associated with the sequestration facility, with injection
4693	4693	13 reinitiated only if the Agency deems that injection will
4694	4694	14 not pose an undue risk to health or the environment; and
4695	4695	15 (ii) when induced seismicity appears to be the cause of

4721	4721	6 of regulations hereunder. The Agency shall adopt such
4722	4722	7 procedures as are necessary to carry out its duties under this
4723	4723	8 Section. In making its determinations on permit applications
4724	4724	9 under this Section the Agency may consider prior adjudications
4725	4725	10 of noncompliance with this Act by the applicant that involved
4726	4726	11 a release of a contaminant into the environment. In granting
4727	4727	12 permits, the Agency may impose reasonable conditions
4728	4728	13 specifically related to the applicant's past compliance
4729	4729	14 history with this Act as necessary to correct, detect, or
4730	4730	15 prevent noncompliance. The Agency may impose such other
4731	4731	16 conditions as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of

4762	4762	11 If there is no final action by the Agency within 90 days
4763	4763	12 after the filing of the application for permit, the applicant
4764	4764	13 may deem the permit issued; except that this time period shall
4765	4765	14 be extended to 180 days when (1) notice and opportunity for
4766	4766	15 public hearing are required by State or federal law or

4898	4898	3 operator, that subsequent owner or operator may apply to the
4899	4899	4 Agency for, and the Agency may grant, a development or
4900	4900	5 construction permit for the facility for which local siting
4901	4901	6 approval was granted. Upon application to the Agency for a
4902	4902	7 development or construction permit by that subsequent owner or
4903	4903	8 operator, the permit applicant shall cause written notice of
4904	4904	9 the permit application to be served upon the appropriate
4905	4905	10 county board or governing body of the municipality that
4906	4906	11 granted siting approval for that facility and upon any party
4907	4907	12 to the siting proceeding pursuant to which siting approval was
4908	4908	13 granted. In that event, the Agency shall conduct an evaluation
4909	4909	14 of the subsequent owner or operator's prior experience in
4910	4910	15 waste management operations in the manner conducted under
4911	4911	16 subsection (i) of Section 39 of this Act.
4912	4912	17 Beginning August 20, 1993, if the pollution control
4913	4913	18 facility consists of a hazardous or solid waste disposal
4914	4914	19 facility for which the proposed site is located in an
4915	4915	20 unincorporated area of a county with a population of less than
4916	4916	21 100,000 and includes all or a portion of a parcel of land that
4917	4917	22 was, on April 1, 1993, adjacent to a municipality having a
4918	4918	23 population of less than 5,000, then the local siting review
4919	4919	24 required under this subsection (c) in conjunction with any
4920	4920	25 permit applied for after that date shall be performed by the

4934	4934	3 references in this Act to the county board shall be deemed to
4935	4935	4 mean the governing body of that adjacent municipality;
4936	4936	5 provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall
4937	4937	6 not apply to any proposed site which was, on April 1, 1993,
4938	4938	7 owned in whole or in part by another municipality.
4939	4939	8 In the case of a pollution control facility for which a
4940	4940	9 development permit was issued before November 12, 1981, if an
4941	4941	10 operating permit has not been issued by the Agency prior to
4942	4942	11 August 31, 1989 for any portion of the facility, then the
4943	4943	12 Agency may not issue or renew any development permit nor issue
4944	4944	13 an original operating permit for any portion of such facility
4945	4945	14 unless the applicant has submitted proof to the Agency that
4946	4946	15 the location of the facility has been approved by the
4947	4947	16 appropriate county board or municipal governing body pursuant
4948	4948	17 to Section 39.2 of this Act.
4949	4949	18 After January 1, 1994, if a solid waste disposal facility,
4950	4950	19 any portion for which an operating permit has been issued by
4951	4951	20 the Agency, has not accepted waste disposal for 5 or more
4952	4952	21 consecutive calendar years, before that facility may accept
4953	4953	22 any new or additional waste for disposal, the owner and
4954	4954	23 operator must obtain a new operating permit under this Act for
4955	4955	24 that facility unless the owner and operator have applied to
4956	4956	25 the Agency for a permit authorizing the temporary suspension
4957	4957	26 of waste acceptance. The Agency may not issue a new operation

4971	4971	4 county board or municipal governing body under Section 39.2 of
4972	4972	5 this Act after the facility ceased accepting waste.
4973	4973	6 Except for those facilities owned or operated by sanitary
4974	4974	7 districts organized under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation
4975	4975	8 District Act, and except for new pollution control facilities
4976	4976	9 governed by Section 39.2, and except for fossil fuel mining
4977	4977	10 facilities, the granting of a permit under this Act shall not
4978	4978	11 relieve the applicant from meeting and securing all necessary
4979	4979	12 zoning approvals from the unit of government having zoning
4980	4980	13 jurisdiction over the proposed facility.
4981	4981	14 Before beginning construction on any new sewage treatment

4985	4985	18 the renewal or amendment of an existing permit) is required,
4986	4986	19 such sanitary district shall hold a public hearing within the

5150	5150	3 (3) Any complete permit application submitted to the
5151	5151	4 Agency under this subsection for a PSD permit shall be
5152	5152	5 granted or denied by the Agency not later than one year
5153	5153	6 after the filing of such completed application.
5154	5154	7 (4) The Agency shall, after conferring with the
5155	5155	8 applicant, give written notice to the applicant of its
5156	5156	9 proposed decision on the application, including the terms
5157	5157	10 and conditions of the permit to be issued and the facts,
5158	5158	11 conduct, or other basis upon which the Agency will rely to
5159	5159	12 support its proposed action.
5160	5160	13 (g) The Agency shall include as conditions upon all
5161	5161	14 permits issued for hazardous waste disposal sites such
5162	5162	15 restrictions upon the future use of such sites as are
5163	5163	16 reasonably necessary to protect public health and the
5164	5164	17 environment, including permanent prohibition of the use of
5165	5165	18 such sites for purposes which may create an unreasonable risk
5166	5166	19 of injury to human health or to the environment. After
5167	5167	20 administrative and judicial challenges to such restrictions
5168	5168	21 have been exhausted, the Agency shall file such restrictions
5169	5169	22 of record in the Office of the Recorder of the county in which
5170	5170	23 the hazardous waste disposal site is located.
5171	5171	24 (h) A hazardous waste stream may not be deposited in a
5172	5172	25 permitted hazardous waste site unless specific authorization
5173	5173	26 is obtained from the Agency by the generator and disposal site

5184	5184	1 owner and operator for the deposit of that specific hazardous
5185	5185	2 waste stream. The Agency may grant specific authorization for
5186	5186	3 disposal of hazardous waste streams only after the generator
5187	5187	4 has reasonably demonstrated that, considering technological
5188	5188	5 feasibility and economic reasonableness, the hazardous waste
5189	5189	6 cannot be reasonably recycled for reuse, nor incinerated or
5190	5190	7 chemically, physically, or biologically treated so as to
5191	5191	8 neutralize the hazardous waste and render it nonhazardous. In
5192	5192	9 granting authorization under this Section, the Agency may
5193	5193	10 impose such conditions as may be necessary to accomplish the
5194	5194	11 purposes of the Act and are consistent with this Act and
5195	5195	12 regulations promulgated by the Board hereunder. If the Agency
5196	5196	13 refuses to grant authorization under this Section, the
5197	5197	14 applicant may appeal as if the Agency refused to grant a
5198	5198	15 permit, pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of
5199	5199	16 Section 40 of this Act. For purposes of this subsection (h),
5200	5200	17 the term "generator" has the meaning given in Section 3.205 of
5201	5201	18 this Act, unless: (1) the hazardous waste is treated,
5202	5202	19 incinerated, or partially recycled for reuse prior to
5203	5203	20 disposal, in which case the last person who treats,
5204	5204	21 incinerates, or partially recycles the hazardous waste prior
5205	5205	22 to disposal is the generator; or (2) the hazardous waste is
5206	5206	23 from a response action, in which case the person performing
5207	5207	24 the response action is the generator. This subsection (h) does
5208	5208	25 not apply to any hazardous waste that is restricted from land
5209	5209	26 disposal under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.

5227	5227	8 prospective owner's or operator's prior experience in waste
5228	5228	9 management operations, clean construction or demolition debris
5229	5229	10 fill operations, and tire storage site management. The Agency
5230	5230	11 may deny such a permit, or deny or revoke interim
5231	5231	12 authorization, if the prospective owner or operator or any
5232	5232	13 employee or officer of the prospective owner or operator has a
5233	5233	14 history of:
5234	5234	15 (1) repeated violations of federal, State, or local
5235	5235	16 laws, regulations, standards, or ordinances in the

5241	5241	22 conviction of a felony in a federal court; or conviction
5242	5242	23 in this or another state or federal court of any of the
5243	5243	24 following crimes: forgery, official misconduct, bribery,

5264	5264	9 authorization for a clean construction or demolition debris
5265	5265	10 fill operation in which any ownership interest is transferred
5266	5266	11 between January 1, 2005, and the effective date of the
5267	5267	12 prohibition set forth in Section 22.52 of this Act, the Agency
5268	5268	13 shall conduct an evaluation of the operation if any previous
5269	5269	14 activities at the site or facility may have caused or allowed
5270	5270	15 contamination of the site. It shall be the responsibility of
5271	5271	16 the owner or operator seeking the permit or interim
5272	5272	17 authorization to provide to the Agency all of the information
5273	5273	18 necessary for the Agency to conduct its evaluation. The Agency
5274	5274	19 may deny a permit or interim authorization if previous
5275	5275	20 activities at the site may have caused or allowed
5276	5276	21 contamination at the site, unless such contamination is
5277	5277	22 authorized under any permit issued by the Agency.
5278	5278	23 (j) The issuance under this Act of a permit to engage in
5279	5279	24 the surface mining of any resources other than fossil fuels
5280	5280	25 shall not relieve the permittee from its duty to comply with

5295	5295	4 permit under subsection (d) of Section 21 shall expire at the
5296	5296	5 end of 2 calendar years from the date upon which it was issued,
5297	5297	6 unless within that period the applicant has taken action to
5298	5298	7 develop the facility or the site. In the event that review of
5299	5299	8 the conditions of the development permit is sought pursuant to
5300	5300	9 Section 40 or 41, or permittee is prevented from commencing
5301	5301	10 development of the facility or site by any other litigation
5302	5302	11 beyond the permittee's control, such two-year period shall be
5303	5303	12 deemed to begin on the date upon which such review process or
5304	5304	13 litigation is concluded.
5305	5305	14 (l) No permit shall be issued by the Agency under this Act
5306	5306	15 for construction or operation of any facility or site located
5307	5307	16 within the boundaries of any setback zone established pursuant
5308	5308	17 to this Act, where such construction or operation is
5309	5309	18 prohibited.
5310	5310	19 (m) The Agency may issue permits to persons owning or

5313	5313	22 as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Act, and
5314	5314	23 as are not inconsistent with applicable regulations
5315	5315	24 promulgated by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in this

5688	5688	2 Sec. 40. Appeal of permit denial.
5689	5689	3 (a)(1) If the Agency refuses to grant or grants with
5690	5690	4 conditions a permit under Section 39 of this Act, the
5691	5691	5 applicant may, within 35 days after the date on which the
5692	5692	6 Agency served its decision on the applicant, petition for a
5693	5693	7 hearing before the Board to contest the decision of the
5694	5694	8 Agency. However, the 35-day period for petitioning for a
5695	5695	9 hearing may be extended for an additional period of time not to
5696	5696	10 exceed 90 days by written notice provided to the Board from the
5697	5697	11 applicant and the Agency within the initial appeal period. The
5698	5698	12 Board shall give 21 days' notice to any person in the county
5699	5699	13 where is located the facility in issue who has requested
5700	5700	14 notice of enforcement proceedings and to each member of the
5701	5701	15 General Assembly in whose legislative district that
5702	5702	16 installation or property is located; and shall publish that
5703	5703	17 21-day notice in a newspaper of general circulation in that
5704	5704	18 county. The Agency shall appear as respondent in such hearing.
5705	5705	19 At such hearing the rules prescribed in Section 32 and
5706	5706	20 subsection (a) of Section 33 of this Act shall apply, and the
5707	5707	21 burden of proof shall be on the petitioner. If, however, the
5708	5708	22 Agency issues an NPDES permit that imposes limits which are
5709	5709	23 based upon a criterion or denies a permit based upon
5710	5710	24 application of a criterion, then the Agency shall have the
5711	5711	25 burden of going forward with the basis for the derivation of
5712	5712	26 those limits or criterion which were derived under the Board's

5724	5724	2 (2) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(3), if there is no
5725	5725	3 final action by the Board within 120 days after the date on
5726	5726	4 which it received the petition, the petitioner may deem the
5727	5727	5 permit issued under this Act, provided, however, that that
5728	5728	6 period of 120 days shall not run for any period of time, not to
5729	5729	7 exceed 30 days, during which the Board is without sufficient
5730	5730	8 membership to constitute the quorum required by subsection (a)
5731	5731	9 of Section 5 of this Act, and provided further that such 120
5732	5732	10 day period shall not be stayed for lack of quorum beyond 30
5733	5733	11 days regardless of whether the lack of quorum exists at the
5734	5734	12 beginning of such 120-day period or occurs during the running
5735	5735	13 of such 120-day period.
5736	5736	14 (3) Paragraph (a)(2) shall not apply to any permit which
5737	5737	15 is subject to subsection (b), (d) or (e) of Section 39. If
5738	5738	16 there is no final action by the Board within 120 days after the
5739	5739	17 date on which it received the petition, the petitioner shall
5740	5740	18 be entitled to an Appellate Court order pursuant to subsection
5741	5741	19 (d) of Section 41 of this Act.
5742	5742	20 (b) If the Agency grants a RCRA permit for a hazardous
5743	5743	21 waste disposal site, a third party, other than the permit
5744	5744	22 applicant or Agency, may, within 35 days after the date on
5745	5745	23 which the Agency issued its decision, petition the Board for a
5746	5746	24 hearing to contest the issuance of the permit. Unless the
5747	5747	25 Board determines that such petition is duplicative or
5748	5748	26 frivolous, or that the petitioner is so located as to not be

5760	5760	2 petition in accordance with the terms of subsection (a) of
5761	5761	3 this Section and its procedural rules governing denial
5762	5762	4 appeals, such hearing to be based exclusively on the record
5763	5763	5 before the Agency. The burden of proof shall be on the
5764	5764	6 petitioner. The Agency and the permit applicant shall be named
5765	5765	7 co-respondents.
5766	5766	8 The provisions of this subsection do not apply to the
5767	5767	9 granting of permits issued for the disposal or utilization of
5768	5768	10 sludge from publicly owned sewage works.
5769	5769	11 (c) Any party to an Agency proceeding conducted pursuant
5770	5770	12 to Section 39.3 of this Act may petition as of right to the
5771	5771	13 Board for review of the Agency's decision within 35 days from
5772	5772	14 the date of issuance of the Agency's decision, provided that
5773	5773	15 such appeal is not duplicative or frivolous. However, the
5774	5774	16 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be extended by
5775	5775	17 the applicant for a period of time not to exceed 90 days by
5776	5776	18 written notice provided to the Board from the applicant and
5777	5777	19 the Agency within the initial appeal period. If another person
5778	5778	20 with standing to appeal wishes to obtain an extension, there
5779	5779	21 must be a written notice provided to the Board by that person,
5780	5780	22 the Agency, and the applicant, within the initial appeal
5781	5781	23 period. The decision of the Board shall be based exclusively
5782	5782	24 on the record compiled in the Agency proceeding. In other
5783	5783	25 respects the Board's review shall be conducted in accordance
5784	5784	26 with subsection (a) of this Section and the Board's procedural

5797	5797	3 permit issued by the Agency pursuant to rules and regulations
5798	5798	4 adopted under subsection (c) of Section 9.1 of this Act, the
5799	5799	5 decision of the Board shall be based exclusively on the record
5800	5800	6 before the Agency including the record of the hearing, if any,
5801	5801	7 unless the parties agree to supplement the record. The Board
5802	5802	8 shall, if it finds the Agency is in error, make a final
5803	5803	9 determination as to the substantive limitations of the permit
5804	5804	10 including a final determination of Lowest Achievable Emission
5805	5805	11 Rate.

5808	5808	14 than the permit applicant or Agency, may petition the Board
5809	5809	15 within 35 days from the date of issuance of the Agency's

5817	5817	23 (B) a demonstration that the petitioner is so situated
5818	5818	24 as to be affected by the permitted facility.
