Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Includes additional materials within the definition of "coal combustion by-product" (CCB). Provides that, in certain circumstances, the EPA must (instead of "may") make written beneficial use determinations that coal-combustion waste is a CCB. Sets forth the procedures for the application for and approval and renewal of a beneficial use determination. Provides that CCB for which a beneficial use determination is approved shall be considered CCB for as long as it is used in accordance with the approval and any conditions of the approval.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that the more stringent regulations of coal combustion by-product (CCB) provided under this Section do not apply to CCB used for mine subsidence, mine fire control, mine sealing, and mine reclamation (previously this use was included in the class of CCB uses subject to the stricter regulations). Eliminates boron, chloride, sulfate, and phenol from a list of Class I groundwater parameters that certain CCB uses may not exceed.

House Amendment No. 1
Provides that the use of coal combustion by-product (CCB) in mine subsidence, mine fire control, mine sealing, and mine reclamation is a restricted CCB use subject to certain conditions. Deletes a list of elements for which restricted CCB uses may not exceed Class I Groundwater Standards. Requires users of CCB for mine subsidence, mine fire control, mine sealing, and mine reclamation to provide notification to the Agency for each project using CCB including documenting the quantity of CCB used and certifying compliance with the conditions of the Act. Provides that an Agency beneficial use determination enables the use of CCB in mine subsidence, mine fire control, mine sealing, and mine reclamation without complying with certain otherwise necessary conditions. Provides that written beneficial use determination applications for the use of CCB at sites governed by the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 shall be reviewed and approved by the Office of Mines and Minerals within the Department of Natural Resources pursuant to provisions of the Illinois Administrative Code. Requires that appeals from these determinations shall be made pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Review Law.
