8    Sec. 3.160. Construction or demolition debris.
9    (a) "General construction or demolition debris" means
10non-hazardous, uncontaminated materials resulting from the
11construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition of utilities,
12structures, and roads, limited to the following: bricks,
13concrete, and other masonry materials; soil; rock; wood,
14including non-hazardous painted, treated, and coated wood and

1repair, and demolition of utilities, structures, and roads
2provided the uncontaminated soil is not commingled with any
3general construction or demolition debris or other waste.
4    To the extent allowed by federal law, uncontaminated
5concrete with protruding rebar shall be considered clean
6construction or demolition debris and shall not be considered
7"waste" if it is separated or processed and returned to the
8economic mainstream in the form of raw materials or products
9within 4 years of its generation, if it is not speculatively
10accumulated and, if used as a fill material, it is used in
11accordance with item (i) in subsection (b) of this Section.
12    (a-1) "General construction or demolition debris recovery
13facility" means a site or facility used to store or treat

6    To the extent allowed by federal law, clean construction
7or demolition debris shall not be considered "waste" if it is
8(i) used as fill material outside of a setback zone if the fill
9is placed no higher than the highest point of elevation
10existing prior to the filling immediately adjacent to the fill
11area, and if covered by sufficient uncontaminated soil to
12support vegetation within 30 days of the completion of filling
13or if covered by a road or structure, and, if used as fill
14material in a current or former quarry, mine, or other
15excavation, is used in accordance with the requirements of
16Section 22.51 of this Act and the rules adopted thereunder or

20it is used in accordance with item (i), or (iii) solely broken
21concrete without protruding metal bars used for erosion
22control, or (iv) generated from the construction or demolition

4sufficient soil materials to sustain vegetation or by a road
5or structure, and further provided that no such structure
6shall be constructed within a home rule municipality with a
7population over 500,000 without the consent of the
8municipality.
9    For purposes of this subsection (b), reclaimed or other
10asphalt pavement shall not be considered speculatively
11accumulated if: (i) it is not commingled with any other clean
12construction or demolition debris or any waste; (ii) it is
13returned to the economic mainstream in the form of raw
14materials or products within 4 years after its generation;
15(iii) at least 25% of the total amount present at a site during
16a calendar year is transported off of the site during the next
17calendar year; and (iv) if used as a fill material, it is used

SB1089 Enrolled- 5 -LRB102 04912 CPF 14931 b

1    receipt of the Agency's proposal, the Board shall adopt,
2    rules specifying the maximum concentrations of
3    contaminants that may be present in uncontaminated soil
4    for purposes of this Section. For carcinogens, the maximum
5    concentrations shall not allow exposure to exceed an
6    excess upper-bound lifetime risk of 1 in 1,000,000;
7    provided that if the most stringent remediation objective
8    or applicable background concentration for a contaminant
9    set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742 is greater than the
10    concentration that would allow exposure at an excess
11    upper-bound lifetime risk of 1 in 1,000,000, the Board may
12    consider allowing that contaminant in concentrations up to
13    its most stringent remediation objective or applicable
14    background concentration set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
15    742 in soil used as fill material in a current or former
16    quarry, mine, or other excavation in accordance with
17    Section 22.51 or 22.51a of this Act and rules adopted
18    under those Sections. Any background concentration set
19    forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 742 that is adopted as a maximum
20    concentration must be based upon the location of the
21    quarry, mine, or other excavation where the soil is used
22    as fill material.
23        (2) To the extent allowed under federal law and
24    regulations, uncontaminated soil shall not be considered a
25    waste.

1    agrees to undertake in settlement of an enforcement action

8    In determining the appropriate civil penalty to be imposed
9under subsection (a) or paragraph (1), (2), (3), (5), (6), or
10(7) of subsection (b) of this Section, the Board shall ensure,
11in all cases, that the penalty is at least as great as the
12economic benefits, if any, accrued by the respondent as a
13result of the violation, unless the Board finds that
14imposition of such penalty would result in an arbitrary or
15unreasonable financial hardship. However, such civil penalty
16may be off-set in whole or in part pursuant to a supplemental
17environmental project agreed to by the complainant and the
18respondent.

17the portion of the penalty that is not based upon the economic
18benefit of non-compliance.
