Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Provides that, on or before January 1, 2015, the owner or operator of each tire storage site that contains used tires totaling more than 10,000 passenger tire equivalents, or at which more than 500 tons of used tires are processed in a calendar year, shall submit documentation demonstrating its compliance with the Pollution Control Board rules adopted under the Act. Provides that, beginning July 1, 2016, no person shall cause or allow the operation of a tire storage site that contains used tires totaling more than 10,000 passenger tire equivalents, or at which more than 500 tons of used tires are processed in a calendar year, without a permit granted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or in violation of any conditions imposed by that permit. Provides specified exemptions to the permit requirement. Requires the Agency to propose and the Board to adopt, revisions to the rules adopted under the Act that are necessary to conform those rules to the requirements of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly. Provides that the State's Attorney or Attorney General, upon request of the Agency or upon his or her own motion, may institute a civil action for an immediate injunction to halt storage or processing of used tires at a site if a person who is required to comply with the financial assurance rules established by the Board fails to comply with those rules with respect to that tire storage site. Provides that specified monies in the Used Tire Management Fund shall be used to provide financial assistance to units of local government and private industry for specified purposes. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that no person shall cause or allow the operation of a tire storage site in violation of the financial assurance rules established by the Board under a specified provision of the Act. Provides that, in addition to the remedies otherwise provided under the Act, the State's Attorney of the county in which the violation occurred, or the Attorney General, may, at the request of the Agency or on his or her own motion, institute a civil action for an immediate injunction to restrain any violation of this provision or to require any other action as may be necessary to abate or mitigate any immediate danger or threat to public health or the environment at the site. Makes conforming changes.
