6  of this Section and as are not inconsistent with regulations
7  promulgated by the Board. Such decision shall be available for
8  public inspection at the office of the county board or
9  governing body of the municipality and may be copied upon

7  municipality and the siting applicant and shall describe the
8  terms and conditions of the oral agreement.
9  (e-5) Siting approval obtained pursuant to this Section is
10  transferable and may be transferred to a subsequent owner or
11  operator. In the event that siting approval has been
12  transferred to a subsequent owner or operator, that subsequent
13  owner or operator assumes and takes subject to any and all
14  conditions imposed upon the prior owner or operator by the
15  county board of the county or governing body of the
16  municipality pursuant to subsection (e). However, any such
17  conditions imposed pursuant to this Section may be modified by
18  agreement between the subsequent owner or operator and the
19  appropriate county board or governing body. Further, in the
20  event that siting approval obtained pursuant to this Section
21  has been transferred to a subsequent owner or operator, that
22  subsequent owner or operator assumes all rights and
23  obligations and takes the facility subject to any and all
24  terms and conditions of any existing host agreement between

1  (f) A local siting approval granted under this Section
2  shall expire at the end of 2 calendar years from the date upon
3  which it was granted, unless the local siting approval granted
4  under this Section is for a sanitary landfill operation, in
5  which case the approval shall expire at the end of 3 calendar
6  years from the date upon which it was granted, and unless
7  within that period the applicant has made application to the
8  Agency for a permit to develop the site. In the event that the
9  local siting decision has been appealed, such expiration
10  period shall be deemed to begin on the date upon which the
11  appeal process is concluded.
12  Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, upon the
13  expiration of a development permit under subsection (k) of
14  Section 39, any associated local siting approval granted for
15  the facility under this Section shall also expire.
16  If a first development permit for a municipal waste
17  incineration facility expires under subsection (k) of Section
18  39 after September 30, 1989 due to circumstances beyond the
19  control of the applicant, any associated local siting approval
20  granted for the facility under this Section may be used to
21  fulfill the local siting approval requirement upon application
22  for a second development permit for the same site, provided
23  that the proposal in the new application is materially the
24  same, with respect to the criteria in subsection (a) of this
25  Section, as the proposal that received the original siting
26  approval, and application for the second development permit is

1  made before January 1, 1990.
2  (g) The siting approval procedures, criteria and appeal
3  procedures provided for in this Act for new pollution control
4  facilities shall be the exclusive siting procedures and rules
5  and appeal procedures for facilities subject to such
6  procedures. Local zoning or other local land use requirements
7  shall not be applicable to such siting decisions.
8  (h) Nothing in this Section shall apply to any existing or
9  new pollution control facility located within the corporate
10  limits of a municipality with a population of over 1,000,000.
11  (i) (Blank.)
12  The Board shall adopt regulations establishing the
13  geologic and hydrologic siting criteria necessary to protect
14  usable groundwater resources which are to be followed by the
15  Agency in its review of permit applications for new pollution
16  control facilities. Such regulations, insofar as they apply to
17  new pollution control facilities authorized to store, treat or
18  dispose of any hazardous waste, shall be at least as stringent
19  as the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
20  Act and any State or federal regulations adopted pursuant
21  thereto.
22  (j) Any new pollution control facility which has never
23  obtained local siting approval under the provisions of this
24  Section shall be required to obtain such approval after a
25  final decision on an appeal of a permit denial.

2  reasonable fee to cover the reasonable and necessary costs
3  incurred by such county or municipality in the siting review
4  process.
5  (l) The governing Authority as determined by subsection
6  (c) of Section 39 of this Act may request the Department of
7  Transportation to perform traffic impact studies of proposed
8  or potential locations for required pollution control
9  facilities.
10  (m) An applicant may not file a request for local siting
11  approval which is substantially the same as a request which
12  was disapproved pursuant to a finding against the applicant
13  under any of criteria (i) through (ix) of subsection (a) of
14  this Section within the preceding 2 years.
15  (n) In any review proceeding of a decision of the county
16  board or governing body of a municipality made pursuant to the
17  local siting review process, the petitioner in the review
18  proceeding shall pay to the county or municipality the cost of
19  preparing and certifying the record of proceedings. Should the
20  petitioner in the review proceeding fail to make payment, the
21  provisions of Section 3-109 of the Code of Civil Procedure
22  shall apply.
23  In the event the petitioner is a citizens' group that
24  participated in the siting proceeding and is so located as to
25  be affected by the proposed facility, such petitioner shall be
26  exempt from paying the costs of preparing and certifying the

2  (o) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a
3  transfer station used exclusively for landscape waste, where
4  landscape waste is held no longer than 24 hours from the time
5  it was received, is not subject to the requirements of local
6  siting approval under this Section, but is subject only to

2  however, no new or additional evidence in support of or in
3  opposition to any finding, order, determination or decision of
4  the appropriate county board or governing body of the
