AN ACT concerning safety.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by | ||||
adding Section 22.62 as follows: | ||||
(415 ILCS 5/22.62 new) | ||||
Sec. 22.62. TRI-PFAS; incineration. | ||||
(a) As used in this Section: | ||||
"Incineration" includes, but is not limited to, | ||||
burning, combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, or the use | ||||
of an acid recovery furnace or oxidizer, ore roaster, | ||||
cement kiln, lightweight aggregate kiln, industrial | ||||
furnace, boiler, or process heater. "Incineration" does | ||||
not include the use of a thermal oxidizer as a pollution | ||||
control or resource recovery device at a facility that is | ||||
using perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances or | ||||
chemicals containing perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl | ||||
substances. | ||||
"Toxic Release Inventory Perfluoroalkyl and | ||||
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances" or "TRI-PFAS" means the | ||||
chemicals on the list of perfluoroalkyl and | ||||
polyfluoroalkyl substances set forth in the USEPA's Toxic | ||||
Release Inventory rules, developed under Section 313 of | ||||
the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know | ||
Act (EPCRA) and codified in 40 CFR 372.65, excluding | ||
liquid or gaseous fluorocarbon or chlorofluorocarbon | ||
products used chiefly as refrigerants. | ||
(b) No person shall dispose of any TRI-PFAS by | ||
incineration, including, but not limited to, aqueous | ||
film-forming foam that contains TRI-PFAS. The Agency may | ||
propose, and the Board may adopt, any rules it deems necessary | ||
to carry out the provisions of this Section. | ||
(c) Nothing in this Section applies to the incineration of | ||
(i) landfill gas from the decomposition of waste that may | ||
contain any perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances at a | ||
permitted sanitary landfill, (ii) landfill gas in a landfill | ||
gas recovery facility that is located at a sanitary landfill, | ||
(iii) waste at a permitted hospital, medical, and infectious | ||
waste incinerator that meets the requirements of Subpart HHH | ||
of 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart Ec of 40 CFR Part 60, or the | ||
Board-adopted State Plan requirements for hospital, medical, | ||
and infectious waste incinerators, as applicable, or (iv) | ||
sludges, biosolids, or other solids or by-products generated | ||
at or by a municipal wastewater treatment plant or facility.
| ||
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||
becoming law.
