House Amendment No. 1

	Deletes reference to:
	415 ILCS 5/19.9	from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1019.9

	Adds reference to:
	415 ILCS 5/13.6 new

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Requires the owner or operator of a nuclear power plant to report to the Environmental Protection Agency any unpermitted release of a contaminant within 24 hours. Provides that an "unpermitted release" means any spilling, leaking, emitting, discharging, escaping, leaching, or disposing of an contaminant into groundwater, surface water, or soil that is not permitted under State or federal law or regulation. Requires the Agency to inspect each nuclear power plant with respect to unpermitted releases no less than once each quarter every calendar year. Requires that no later than one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act, the Agency shall propose rules to the Board prescribing standards for detecting and reporting unpermitted releases of contaminants at nuclear power plants (including, but not limited to, tritium or other radionuclides). Provides that no later than one year after receipt of the Agency's proposal, the Board shall adopt rules prescribing standards for detecting and reporting unpermitted releases of contaminants at nuclear power plants. Authorizes rules to include standards for self-monitoring by the owner or operator of the nuclear power plant. Adds other provisions. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill as engrossed. Provides that the purpose of this Section is the detection and reporting of unpermitted releases of "radionuclides" (instead of "contaminants" including radionuclides) into groundwater, surface water, or soil at nuclear power plants. Makes corresponding changes reflecting this purpose. Requires the owners of a nuclear power plant to notify the Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) within 24 hours of an unpermitted release. Provides that the quarterly inspections shall be by both IEPA and IEMA. Requires IEPA to consult IEMA in proposing rules to the Pollution Control Board that prescribe standards for detecting and reporting unpermitted releases of radionuclides. Provides that these rules may include standards for self-inspection by the owner or operator of the nuclear power plant in lieu of the IEPA and IEMA quarterly inspections. Effective immediately.
