    (415 ILCS 5/22.38)
    Sec. 22.38. Facilities accepting exclusively general
construction or demolition debris for transfer, storage, or
treatment.
    (a) Facilities accepting exclusively general construction
or demolition debris for transfer, storage, or treatment shall
be subject to local zoning, ordinance, and land use
requirements. Those facilities shall be located in accordance
with local zoning requirements or, in the absence of local
zoning requirements, shall be located so that no part of the
facility boundary is closer than 1,320 feet from the nearest
property zoned for primarily residential use.
    (b) An owner or operator of a facility accepting
exclusively general construction or demolition debris for
transfer, storage, or treatment shall:
        (1) Within 48 hours after of receipt of the general
    construction or demolition debris at the facility, sort the
    general construction or demolition debris to separate the
    recyclable general construction or demolition debris, and
    recovered wood that is processed for use as fuel, and
    general construction or demolition debris that is
    processed for use at a landfill from the non-recyclable
    general construction or demolition debris that is to be
    disposed of or discarded.
        (2) Transport off site for disposal, in accordance with
    all applicable federal, State, and local requirements
    within 72 hours after its receipt at the facility, all
    non-usable or non-recyclable general construction or
    demolition debris that is not neither recyclable general
    construction or demolition debris, nor recovered wood that
    is processed for use as fuel, or general construction or
    demolition debris that is processed for use at a landfill
    in accordance with all applicable federal, State, and local
    requirements within 72 hours of its receipt at the
    facility.
        (3) Limit the percentage of incoming non-recyclable
    general construction or demolition debris to 25% or less of
    the total incoming general construction or demolition
    debris, as calculated on a daily basis, so that 75% or more
    of the general construction or demolition debris accepted,
    as calculated monthly on a rolling 12-month average, on a
    daily basis consists of recyclable general construction or
    demolition debris, recovered wood that is processed for use
    as fuel, or general construction or demolition debris that
    is processed for use at a landfill except that general
    construction or demolition debris processed for use at a
    landfill shall not exceed 35% of the general construction
    or demolition debris accepted on a rolling 12-month average
    basis both. The percentages in this paragraph (3) of
    subsection (b) shall be calculated by weight, using scales
    located at the facility that are certified under the
    Weights and Measures Act.
        (4) Within 6 months after its receipt at the facility,
    transport:
            (A) Transport all non-putrescible recyclable
        general construction or demolition debris for
        recycling or disposal; and
            (B) all non-putrescible general construction or
        demolition debris that is processed for use at a
        landfill to a MSWLF unit for use or disposal within 6
        months of its receipt at the facility.
        (5) Within 45 days after of its receipt at the
    facility, transport:
            (A) (i) all putrescible or combustible recyclable
        general construction or demolition debris (excluding
        recovered wood that is processed for use as fuel) for
        recycling or disposal; and
            (B) (ii) all recovered wood that is processed for
        use as fuel to an intermediate processing facility for
        sizing, to a combustion facility for use as fuel, or to
        a disposal facility; and
            (C) all putrescible general construction or
        demolition debris that is processed for use at a
        landfill to a MSWLF unit for use or disposal.
        (6) Employ tagging and recordkeeping procedures to (i)
    demonstrate compliance with this Section and (ii) identify
    the source and transporter of material accepted by the
    facility.
        (7) Control odor, noise, combustion of materials,

    runoff and leachate generated at the facility in accordance
    with applicable federal, State, and local requirements.
        (9) Control access to the facility.
