Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 67

Amends the Environmental Protection Act. In the definitions, provides that a facility accepting exclusively general construction or demolition debris and that as of January 1, 2000 is located in a county with a population of 700,000 or more persons is not a pollution control facility under the Act (now, the definition does not have the January 1, 2000 restriction). Makes a similar change regarding waste-storage, waste-treatment, or waste-disposal permits to provide that no permit shall be required for a facility in a county with a population over 700,000 as of January 1, 2000 (now, the January 1, 2000 date is not specified). Effective immediately.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Exempts current or former quarries, mines, and other excavations that do not use clean construction or demolition debris as fill material from complying with requirements of the Act relating to clean construction or demolition debris. Defines who an "operator" or "owner" may be for purposes of a clean construction or demolition debris fill operation. Sets forth that before issuing a permit or interim authorization for a clean construction or demolition debris fill operation the Agency shall conduct an evaluation of the prospective owner's or operator's prior experience in waste management operations and clean construction or demolition debris fill operations. Authorizes the Agency to deny a permit, or deny or revoke an interim authorization, if the prospective owner or operator or an employee of the owner or operator has a history of: (i) repeated violations of federal, State, or local laws, regulations, standards, or ordinances in the operation of waste management facilities or sites or clean construction or demolition debris fill operation facilities or sites (now, just in the operation of waste management facilities or sites); (ii) conviction of forgery, official misconduct, bribery, perjury, or knowingly submitting false information under any environmental law, regulation, or permit term or condition (now, just felony); or (iii) proof of gross carelessness or incompetence in handling, storing, processing, transporting or disposing of waste or clean construction or demolition debris, or proof of gross carelessness or incompetence in using clean construction or demolition debris as fill (now, just waste).
