|
| 1 | | provided the uncontaminated soil is not
commingled with any | 2 | | general construction or demolition debris or other waste. | 3 | | To the extent allowed by federal law, uncontaminated | 4 | | concrete with protruding rebar shall be considered clean | 5 | | construction or demolition debris and shall not be considered | 6 | | "waste" if it is separated or processed and returned to the | 7 | | economic mainstream in the form of raw materials or products | 8 | | within 4 years of its generation, if it is not speculatively | 9 | | accumulated and, if used as a fill material, it is used in | 10 | | accordance with item (i) in subsection (b) of this Section.
| 11 | | (b) "Clean construction or demolition debris" means
| 12 | | uncontaminated broken concrete without protruding metal bars, | 13 | | bricks, rock,

highest point of elevation existing | 24 | | prior to the filling immediately adjacent
to the fill area, and | 25 | | if covered by sufficient uncontaminated soil to
support | 26 | | vegetation within 30 days of the completion of filling or if |

economic mainstream in the form | 6 | | of raw materials or products, if it is not
speculatively | 7 | | accumulated and, if used as a fill material, it is used in
| 8 | | accordance with item (i), or (iii) solely
broken concrete | 9 | | without protruding metal bars used for erosion control, or
(iv) | 10 | | generated from the construction or demolition of a building, | 11 | | road, or
other structure and used to construct, on the site | 12 | | where the construction or
demolition has taken place, a manmade
| 13 | | functional structure not to exceed 20 feet above the highest | 14 | | point of
elevation of the property immediately adjacent to the | 15 | | new manmade functional
structure as that elevation existed | 16 | | prior to the creation of that new
structure,
provided that the | 17 | | structure shall be covered with sufficient soil
materials to | 18 | | sustain vegetation or by a road or structure, and further
| 19 | | provided that no such structure shall be constructed within
a | 20 | | home rule municipality with a population over 500,000 without | 21 | | the consent
of the municipality.
| 22 | | For purposes of this subsection (b), reclaimed or other | 23 | | asphalt pavement shall not be considered speculatively | 24 | | accumulated if: (i) it is not commingled with any other clean | 25 | | construction or demolition debris or any waste; (ii) it is | 26 | | returned to the economic mainstream in the form of raw |

| 7 | | (c) For purposes of this Section, the term "uncontaminated | 8 | | soil" means soil that does not contain contaminants in | 9 | | concentrations that pose a threat to human health and safety | 10 | | and the environment. | 11 | | (1) No later than one year after the effective date of | 12 | | this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, the | 13 | | Agency shall propose, and, no later than one year after | 14 | | receipt of the Agency's proposal, the Board shall adopt, | 15 | | rules specifying the maximum concentrations of | 16 | | contaminants that may be present in uncontaminated soil for | 17 | | purposes of this Section. For carcinogens, the maximum | 18 | | concentrations shall not allow exposure to exceed an excess | 19 | | upper-bound lifetime risk of 1 in 1,000,000; provided that | 20 | | if the most stringent remediation objective or applicable | 21 | | background concentration for a contaminant set forth in 35 | 22 | | Ill. Adm. Code 742 is greater than the concentration that | 23 | | would allow exposure at an excess upper-bound lifetime risk | 24 | | of 1 in 1,000,000, the Board may consider allowing that | 25 | | contaminant in concentrations up to its most stringent | 26 | | remediation objective or applicable background |
