14             a.  An   owner   or   operator  of  a  source  which
15        determines that the source could  be  excluded  from  the
16        CAAPP  may seek such exclusion prior to the date that the
17        CAAPP application for the source is due but  in  no  case
18        later than 9 months after the effective date of the CAAPP
19        through   the   imposition   of   federally   enforceable
20        conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of the source
21        to  a  level  below  the  major source threshold for that
22        source as described in paragraph 2(c)  of  this  Section,
23        within  a  State  operating  permit  issued  pursuant  to
24        Section  39(a) of this Act. After such date, an exclusion
25        from the CAAPP may be sought under paragraph 3(c) of this
26        Section.
27             b.  An  owner  or  operator  of  a  source   seeking
28        exclusion  from  the  CAAPP  pursuant to paragraph (a) of
29        this  subsection  must  submit   a   permit   application
30        consistent  with  the existing State permit program which
31        specifically  requests   such   exclusion   through   the
32        imposition of such federally enforceable conditions.
33             c.  Upon such request, if the Agency determines that
34        the   owner   or   operator  of  a  source  has  met  the
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -11-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        requirements for exclusion pursuant to paragraph  (a)  of
 2        this  subsection  and  other  applicable requirements for
 3        permit issuance under Section  39(a)  of  this  Act,  the
 4        Agency  shall  issue  a  State  operating permit for such
 5        source under Section 39(a) of this Act, as  amended,  and
 6        regulations   promulgated   thereunder   with   federally
 7        enforceable  conditions  limiting the "potential to emit"
 8        of the source to a level below the major source threshold
 9        for that source as described in paragraph  2(c)  of  this
10        Section.
11             d.  The Agency shall provide an owner or operator of
12        a source which may be excluded from the CAAPP pursuant to
13        this  subsection with reasonable notice that the owner or
14        operator may seek such exclusion.
15             e.  The Agency shall provide such sources  with  the
16        necessary permit application forms.

17        2.  Applicability.

18             of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters  (40
19             CFR Part 60).
20                  iv.  All  sources  and  source  categories that
21             would be required to obtain a permit solely  because
22             they  are  subject  to Part 61, Subpart M - National
23             Emission Standard for Hazardous Air  Pollutants  for
24             Asbestos, Section 61.145 (40 CFR Part 61).
25                  v.  Any  other  source  categories  exempted by
26             USEPA regulations pursuant to Section 502(a) of  the

28             c.  For  purposes  of  this  Section the term "major
29        source" means any source that is:
30                  i.  A major source under  Section  112  of  the
31             Clean Air Act, which is defined as:
32                       A.  For      pollutants     other     than
33                  radionuclides, any stationary source  or  group
34                  of   stationary   sources   located   within  a
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -13-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1                  contiguous area and under common  control  that
 2                  emits  or  has  the  potential  to emit, in the
 3                  aggregate, 10 tons per year (tpy)  or  more  of
 4                  any  hazardous  air  pollutant  which  has been
 5                  listed pursuant to Section 112(b) of the  Clean
 6                  Air  Act,  25 tpy or more of any combination of
 7                  such hazardous air pollutants, or  such  lesser
 8                  quantity   as  USEPA  may  establish  by  rule.
 9                  Notwithstanding   the    preceding    sentence,
10                  emissions  from  any  oil or gas exploration or
11                  production well (with its associated equipment)
12                  and emissions from any pipeline  compressor  or
13                  pump  station  shall  not  be  aggregated  with
14                  emissions  from other similar units, whether or
15                  not such units are  in  a  contiguous  area  or
16                  under common control, to determine whether such
17                  stations are major sources.
18                       B.  For   radionuclides,   "major  source"
19                  shall have the meaning specified by  the  USEPA
20                  by rule.
21                  ii.  A   major   stationary   source   of   air
22             pollutants,  as  defined in Section 302 of the Clean
23             Air Act, that directly emits or has the potential to
24             emit,  100  tpy  or  more  of  any   air   pollutant
25             (including any major source of fugitive emissions of
26             any such pollutant, as determined by rule by USEPA).
27             For   purposes   of   this   subsection,   "fugitive
28             emissions"  means  those  emissions  which could not
29             reasonably pass through a stack, chimney,  vent,  or
30             other functionally-equivalent opening.  The fugitive
31             emissions  of  a  stationary  source  shall  not  be
32             considered  in  determining  whether  it  is a major
33             stationary source for the purposes of Section 302(j)
34             of the Clean Air Act, unless the source  belongs  to

13        3.  Agency Authority To Issue CAAPP Permits and Federally
14    Enforceable State Operating Permits.
15             a.  The  Agency shall issue CAAPP permits under this
16        Section consistent with the Clean Air Act and regulations
17        promulgated  thereunder  and  this  Act  and  regulations
18        promulgated thereunder.
19             b.  The Agency shall issue CAAPP permits  for  fixed
20        terms  of  5 years, except CAAPP permits issued for solid
21        waste incineration units combusting municipal waste which
22        shall be issued for fixed terms of 12  years  and  except
23        CAAPP  permits  for  affected sources for acid deposition
24        which shall be issued for  initial  terms  to  expire  on
25        December  31,  1999,  and  for  fixed  terms  of  5 years
26        thereafter.
27             c.  The Agency shall have the authority to  issue  a
28        State  operating  permit for a source under Section 39(a)
29        of this Act,  as  amended,  and  regulations  promulgated
30        thereunder,    which   includes   federally   enforceable
31        conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of the source
32        to a level below the  major  source  threshold  for  that
33        source  as  described  in paragraph 2(c) of this Section,
34        thereby  excluding  the  source  from  the  CAAPP,   when
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -17-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        requested  by the applicant pursuant to paragraph 5(u) of
 2        this Section.  The public  notice  requirements  of  this
 3        Section  applicable  to CAAPP permits shall also apply to
 4        the initial issuance of permits under this paragraph.
 5             d.  For purposes of this Act,  a  permit  issued  by
 6        USEPA  under Section 505 of the Clean Air Act, as now and
 7        hereafter amended, shall be deemed to be a permit  issued
 8        by the Agency pursuant to Section 39.5 of this Act.

 9        4.  Transition.
10             a.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not
11        be  required  to renew an existing State operating permit
12        for any emission unit at such CAAPP source once  a  CAAPP
13        application  timely  submitted prior to expiration of the
14        State operating permit  has  been  deemed  complete.  For
15        purposes  other  than permit renewal, the obligation upon
16        the owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State
17        operating permit is not removed  upon  submittal  of  the
18        complete  CAAPP permit application.  An owner or operator
19        of a CAAPP source seeking to make  a  modification  to  a
20        source prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be
21        required to obtain a construction and/or operating permit
22        as  required for such modification in accordance with the
23        State permit program under Section 39(a) of this Act,  as
24        amended,  and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.  The
25        application for such construction and/or operating permit
26        shall be considered an amendment to the CAAPP application
27        submitted for such source.
28             b.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
29        continue  to  operate  in  accordance  with the terms and
30        conditions  of  its  applicable  State  operating  permit
31        notwithstanding the expiration  of  the  State  operating
32        permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued.
33             c.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
34        submit its initial CAAPP application  to  the  Agency  no
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -18-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        later  than  12  months  after  the effective date of the
 2        CAAPP.  The Agency may request submittal of initial CAAPP
 3        applications during this 12 month period according  to  a
 4        schedule  set forth within Agency procedures, however, in
 5        no event shall the Agency require such submittal  earlier
 6        than 3 months after such effective date of the CAAPP.  An
 7        owner  or  operator  may  voluntarily  submit its initial
 8        CAAPP application prior to the date required within  this
 9        paragraph or applicable procedures, if any, subsequent to
10        the  date  the  Agency  submits  the  CAAPP  to USEPA for
11        approval.
12             d.  The  Agency   shall   act   on   initial   CAAPP
13        applications  in  accordance with subsection 5(j) of this
14        Section.
15             e.  For purposes of this Section, the term  "initial
16        CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application
17        submitted  for a source existing as of the effective date
18        of the CAAPP.
19             f.  The Agency shall provide owners or operators  of
20        CAAPP  sources  with at least three months advance notice
21        of the date on which their applications are  required  to
22        be  submitted.   In  determining  which  sources shall be
23        subject to early  submittal,  the  Agency  shall  include
24        among  its  considerations  the  complexity of the permit
25        application, and the burden  that  such  early  submittal
26        will have on the source.
27             g.  The  CAAPP  permit shall upon becoming effective
28        supersede the State operating permit.
29             h.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
30        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
31        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
32        necessary, to implement this subsection.

33        5.  Applications and Completeness.
34             a.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -19-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        submit its complete CAAPP application consistent with the
 2        Act and applicable regulations.
 3             b.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
 4        submit  a  single complete CAAPP application covering all
 5        emission units at that source.
 6             c.  To be deemed complete, a CAAPP application  must
 7        provide   all   information,   as   requested  in  Agency
 8        application forms, sufficient  to  evaluate  the  subject
 9        source   and   its   application  and  to  determine  all
10        applicable requirements, pursuant to the Clean  Air  Act,
11        and  regulations  thereunder,  this  Act  and regulations
12        thereunder.   Such  Agency  application  forms  shall  be
13        finalized and made available prior to the date  on  which
14        any CAAPP application is required.
15             d.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source shall
16        submit, as part of  its  complete  CAAPP  application,  a
17        compliance  plan,  including  a  schedule  of compliance,
18        describing how each emission unit will  comply  with  all
19        applicable requirements.  Any such schedule of compliance
20        shall   be   supplemental  to,  and  shall  not  sanction
21        noncompliance with, the applicable requirements on  which
22        it is based.
23             e.  Each   submitted   CAAPP  application  shall  be
24        certified for truth,  accuracy,  and  completeness  by  a
25        responsible   official   in  accordance  with  applicable
26        regulations.
27             f.  The Agency  shall  provide  notice  to  a  CAAPP
28        applicant  as to whether a submitted CAAPP application is
29        complete.  Unless the Agency notifies  the  applicant  of
30        incompleteness,  within  60  days of receipt of the CAAPP
31        application, the application shall  be  deemed  complete.
32        The  Agency  may request additional information as needed
33        to make the completeness determination.  The  Agency  may
34        to  the  extent  practicable provide the applicant with a
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -20-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        reasonable opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a
 2        final determination of completeness.
 3             g.  If after the determination of  completeness  the
 4        Agency  finds that additional information is necessary to
 5        evaluate or take final action on the  CAAPP  application,
 6        the  Agency  may request in writing such information from
 7        the source with a reasonable deadline for response.
 8             h.  If the owner  or  operator  of  a  CAAPP  source
 9        submits  a  timely  and  complete  CAAPP application, the
10        source's failure to have a CAAPP permit shall  not  be  a
11        violation  of  this  Section until the Agency takes final
12        action on  the  submitted  CAAPP  application,  provided,
13        however,   where   the  applicant  fails  to  submit  the
14        requested information under  paragraph  5(g)  within  the
15        time frame specified by the Agency, this protection shall
16        cease to apply.
17             i.  Any  applicant  who fails to submit any relevant
18        facts necessary to evaluate the subject  source  and  its
19        CAAPP   application   or   who  has  submitted  incorrect
20        information in a CAAPP application shall,  upon  becoming
21        aware  of  such  failure  or  incorrect submittal, submit
22        supplementary facts or correct information to the Agency.
23        In addition, an applicant shall  provide  to  the  Agency
24        additional   information  as  necessary  to  address  any
25        requirements  which  become  applicable  to  the   source
26        subsequent  to  the  date  the  applicant  submitted  its
27        complete  CAAPP  application  but prior to release of the
28        draft CAAPP permit.
29             j.  The Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP  permit
30        within  18  months  after  the  date  of  receipt  of the
31        complete   CAAPP   application,   with   the    following
32        exceptions:   (i)  permits  for affected sources for acid
33        deposition shall be issued  or  denied  within  6  months
34        after  receipt  of  a  complete application in accordance
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -21-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        with subsection 17 of this Section; (ii) the Agency shall
 2        act on initial CAAPP applications within 24 months  after
 3        the  date  of  receipt of the complete CAAPP application;
 4        (iii) the  Agency  shall  act  on  complete  applications
 5        containing  early  reduction demonstrations under Section
 6        112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act within 9 months of receipt
 7        of the complete CAAPP application.
 8             Where the Agency does not take final action  on  the
 9        permit  within the required time period, the permit shall
10        not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be
11        treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial
12        review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act.
13             k.  The submittal of a  complete  CAAPP  application
14        shall  not  affect the requirement that any source have a
15        preconstruction permit under Title I  of  the  Clean  Air
16        Act.
17             l.  Unless a timely and complete renewal application
18        has  been  submitted  consistent  with this subsection, a
19        CAAPP source operating upon the expiration of  its  CAAPP
20        permit  shall  be  deemed to be operating without a CAAPP
21        permit.  Such operation is prohibited under this Act.
22             m.  Permits being renewed shall be  subject  to  the
23        same  procedural requirements, including those for public
24        participation and  federal  review  and  objection,  that
25        apply to original permit issuance.
26             n.  For   purposes   of  permit  renewal,  a  timely
27        application is one that  is  submitted  no  less  than  9
28        months prior to the date of permit expiration.
29             o.  The terms and conditions of a CAAPP permit shall
30        remain  in  effect  until the issuance of a CAAPP renewal
31        permit provided a timely and complete  CAAPP  application
32        has been submitted.
33             p.  The  owner or operator of a CAAPP source seeking
34        a permit  shield  pursuant  to  paragraph  7(j)  of  this
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -22-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        Section  shall  request  such  permit shield in the CAAPP
 2        application regarding that source.
 3             q.  The Agency shall make available  to  the  public
 4        all  documents  submitted by the applicant to the Agency,
 5        including  each  CAAPP   application,   compliance   plan
 6        (including  the schedule of compliance), and emissions or
 7        compliance  monitoring  report,  with  the  exception  of
 8        information entitled to confidential  treatment  pursuant
 9        to Section 7 of this Act.
10             r.  The  Agency  shall  use  the  standardized forms
11        required  under  Title  IV  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and
12        regulations promulgated thereunder for  affected  sources
13        for acid deposition.
14             s.  An  owner  or  operator  of  a  CAAPP source may
15        include  within  its  CAAPP  application  a  request  for
16        permission to operate during a startup,  malfunction,  or
17        breakdown consistent with applicable Board regulations.
18             t.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source, in order
19        to  utilize  the  operational  flexibility provided under
20        paragraph 7(l) of this Section, must request such use and
21        provide  the  necessary  information  within  its   CAAPP
22        application.
23             u.  An  owner  or  operator  of a CAAPP source which
24        seeks exclusion from the CAAPP through the imposition  of
25        federally  enforceable  conditions, pursuant to paragraph
26        3(c) of this Section, must request such exclusion  within
27        a   CAAPP  application  submitted  consistent  with  this
28        subsection  on  or  after  the  date   that   the   CAAPP
29        application  for  the  source is due. Prior to such date,
30        but in no case later than 9 months  after  the  effective
31        date of the CAAPP, such owner or operator may request the
32        imposition  of  federally enforceable conditions pursuant
33        to paragraph 1.1(b) of this Section.
34             v.  CAAPP  applications   shall   contain   accurate
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -23-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        information  on  allowable emissions to implement the fee
 2        provisions of subsection 18 of this Section.
 3             w.  An owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
 4        submit within its CAAPP application emissions information
 5        regarding  all  regulated  air pollutants emitted at that
 6        source  consistent  with  applicable  Agency  procedures.
 7        Emissions information regarding insignificant  activities
 8        or  emission levels, as determined by the Agency pursuant
 9        to Board regulations, may be submitted as a  list  within
10        the   CAAPP   application.   The   Agency  shall  propose
11        regulations   to   the   Board   defining   insignificant
12        activities or emission levels,  consistent  with  federal
13        regulations,  if  any,  no later than 18 months after the
14        effective date of this amendatory Act of 1992, consistent
15        with Section 112(n)(1) of the Clean Air Act.   The  Board
16        shall  adopt  final  regulations  defining  insignificant
17        activities  or  emission  levels  no  later than 9 months
18        after the date of the Agency's proposal.
19             x.  The owner or operator  of  a  new  CAAPP  source
20        shall  submit  its  complete CAAPP application consistent
21        with this subsection within 12  months  after  commencing
22        operation  of  such  source.  The owner or operator of an
23        existing  source  that  has  been   excluded   from   the
24        provisions  of  this  Section  under  subsection  1.1  or
25        subsection  3(c) of this Section and that becomes subject
26        to the CAAPP solely due to a change in operation  at  the
27        source   shall  submit  its  complete  CAAPP  application
28        consistent with this subsection at least 180 days  before
29        commencing  operation  in  accordance  with the change in
30        operation.
31             y.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
32        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
33        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
34        necessary to implement this subsection.
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -24-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        6.  Prohibitions.
 2             a.  It  shall  be unlawful for any person to violate
 3        any terms or conditions of a  permit  issued  under  this
 4        Section, to operate any CAAPP source except in compliance
 5        with  a permit issued by the Agency under this Section or
 6        to violate any other applicable requirements.  All  terms
 7        and  conditions of a permit issued under this Section are
 8        enforceable by USEPA and citizens  under  the  Clean  Air
 9        Act,   except   those,  if  any,  that  are  specifically
10        designated as not  being  federally  enforceable  in  the
11        permit pursuant to paragraph 7(m) of this Section.
12             b.  After  the  applicable  CAAPP  permit or renewal
13        application submittal date, as specified in subsection  5
14        of  this  Section, no person shall operate a CAAPP source
15        without a CAAPP permit unless the complete  CAAPP  permit
16        or  renewal  application  for such source has been timely
17        submitted to the Agency.
18             c.  No owner or operator of  a  CAAPP  source  shall
19        cause  or threaten or allow the continued operation of an
20        emission source during malfunction or  breakdown  of  the
21        emission   source   or   related  air  pollution  control
22        equipment if such operation would cause  a  violation  of
23        the  standards  or  limitations applicable to the source,
24        unless the CAAPP permit granted to  the  source  provides
25        for   such   operation   consistent  with  this  Act  and
26        applicable Board regulations.

27        7.  Permit Content.
28             a.  All  CAAPP  permits   shall   contain   emission
29        limitations and standards and other enforceable terms and
30        conditions,  including  but  not  limited  to operational
31        requirements, and schedules for achieving  compliance  at
32        the  earliest  reasonable  date,  which  are  or  will be
33        required to accomplish the  purposes  and  provisions  of
34        this  Act  and  to  assure compliance with all applicable
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -25-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        requirements.
 2             b.  The Agency shall include among  such  conditions
 3        applicable  monitoring,  reporting,  record  keeping  and
 4        compliance  certification  requirements, as authorized by
 5        paragraphs d, e, and  f  of  this  subsection,  that  the
 6        Agency  deems  necessary  to  assure  compliance with the
 7        Clean Air Act, the  regulations  promulgated  thereunder,
 8        this   Act,   and  applicable  Board  regulations.   When
 9        monitoring, reporting,  record  keeping,  and  compliance
10        certification requirements are specified within the Clean
11        Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act, or
12        applicable   regulations,   such  requirements  shall  be
13        included within the CAAPP permit.  The Board  shall  have
14        authority  to  promulgate  additional  regulations  where
15        necessary  to  accomplish  the  purposes of the Clean Air
16        Act, this Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder.
17             c.  The Agency shall assure, within such conditions,
18        the use of terms, test methods, units, averaging periods,
19        and other statistical  conventions  consistent  with  the
20        applicable  emission  limitations,  standards,  and other
21        requirements contained in the permit.
22             d.  To meet the requirements of this subsection with
23        respect to monitoring, the permit shall:
24                  i.  Incorporate  and  identify  all  applicable
25             emissions monitoring and analysis procedures or test
26             methods  required   under   the   Clean   Air   Act,
27             regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  this Act, and
28             applicable   Board   regulations,   including    any
29             procedures and methods promulgated by USEPA pursuant
30             to Section 504(b) or Section 114 (a)(3) of the Clean
31             Air Act.
32                  ii.  Where  the applicable requirement does not
33             require  periodic   testing   or   instrumental   or
34             noninstrumental  monitoring  (which  may  consist of
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -26-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             recordkeeping  designed  to  serve  as  monitoring),
 2             require  periodic  monitoring  sufficient  to  yield
 3             reliable data from the relevant time period that  is
 4             representative  of  the source's compliance with the
 5             permit, as reported pursuant  to  paragraph  (f)  of
 6             this  subsection.  The  Agency  may  determine  that
 7             recordkeeping  requirements  are  sufficient to meet
 8             the requirements of this subparagraph.
 9                  iii.  As   necessary,   specify    requirements
10             concerning    the   use,   maintenance,   and   when
11             appropriate, installation of monitoring equipment or
12             methods.
13             e.  To meet the requirements of this subsection with
14        respect to record keeping, the permit  shall  incorporate
15        and  identify  all  applicable recordkeeping requirements
16        and require, where applicable, the following:
17                  i.  Records of required monitoring  information
18             that include the following:
19                       A.  The  date,  place and time of sampling
20                  or measurements.
21                       B.  The date(s) analyses were performed.
22                       C.  The company or entity  that  performed
23                  the analyses.
24                       D.  The  analytical  techniques or methods
25                  used.
26                       E.  The results of such analyses.
27                       F.  The operating conditions  as  existing
28                  at the time of sampling or measurement.
29                  ii.    Retention  of  records of all monitoring
30             data and support information  for  a  period  of  at
31             least  5  years  from  the  date  of  the monitoring
32             sample,   measurement,   report,   or   application.
33             Support information  includes  all  calibration  and
34             maintenance records, original strip-chart recordings

 1             for   continuous   monitoring  instrumentation,  and
 2             copies of all reports required by the permit.
 3             f.  To meet the requirements of this subsection with
 4        respect to reporting, the permit  shall  incorporate  and
 5        identify   all   applicable  reporting  requirements  and
 6        require the following:
 7                  i.  Submittal  of  reports  of   any   required
 8             monitoring every 6 months.  More frequent submittals
 9             may  be  requested  by the Agency if such submittals
10             are necessary to assure compliance with this Act  or
11             regulations  promulgated  by  the  Board thereunder.
12             All instances of deviations from permit requirements
13             must be clearly identified  in  such  reports.   All
14             required  reports must be certified by a responsible
15             official  consistent  with  subsection  5  of   this
16             Section.
17                  ii.  Prompt reporting of deviations from permit
18             requirements,  including those attributable to upset
19             conditions as defined in the  permit,  the  probable
20             cause of such deviations, and any corrective actions
21             or preventive measures taken.
22             g.  Each  CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
23        this  Section  shall  include  a  condition   prohibiting
24        emissions   exceeding  any  allowances  that  the  source
25        lawfully holds under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or the
26        regulations  promulgated  thereunder,   consistent   with
27        subsection 17 of this Section and applicable regulations,
28        if any.
29             h.  All   CAAPP  permits  shall  state  that,  where
30        another applicable requirement of the Clean  Air  Act  is
31        more   stringent   than  any  applicable  requirement  of
32        regulations promulgated under Title IV of the  Clean  Air
33        Act,  both  provisions  shall  be  incorporated  into the
34        permit and shall be State and federally enforceable.

 1             i.  Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10  of
 2        this  Section  shall  include  a  severability  clause to
 3        ensure the  continued  validity  of  the  various  permit
 4        requirements  in the event of a challenge to any portions
 5        of the permit.
 6             j.  The following shall apply with respect to owners
 7        or operators requesting a permit shield:
 8                  i.  The Agency shall include in a CAAPP permit,
 9             when requested by an applicant pursuant to paragraph
10             5(p) of  this  Section,  a  provision  stating  that
11             compliance  with  the conditions of the permit shall
12             be deemed compliance  with  applicable  requirements
13             which  are  applicable  as of the date of release of
14             the proposed permit, provided that:
15                       A.  The    applicable    requirement    is
16                  specifically identified within the permit; or
17                       B.  The Agency  in  acting  on  the  CAAPP
18                  application  or  revision determines in writing
19                  that other requirements specifically identified
20                  are not  applicable  to  the  source,  and  the
21                  permit includes that determination or a concise
22                  summary thereof.
23                  ii.  The permit shall identify the requirements
24             for  which the source is shielded.  The shield shall
25             not extend  to  applicable  requirements  which  are
26             promulgated   after  the  date  of  release  of  the
27             proposed permit unless the permit has been  modified
28             to reflect such new requirements.
29                  iii.  A  CAAPP  permit which does not expressly
30             indicate the existence of a permit shield shall  not
31             provide such a shield.
32                  iv.  Nothing  in  this  paragraph or in a CAAPP
33             permit shall alter or affect the following:
34                       A.  The   provisions   of   Section    303
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -29-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1                  (emergency   powers)  of  the  Clean  Air  Act,
 2                  including USEPA's authority under that section.
 3                       B.  The liability of an owner or  operator
 4                  of  a  source  for  any violation of applicable
 5                  requirements prior to or at the time of  permit
 6                  issuance.
 7                       C.  The  applicable  requirements  of  the
 8                  acid   rain  program  consistent  with  Section
 9                  408(a) of the Clean Air Act.
10                       D.  The  ability  of   USEPA   to   obtain
11                  information  from  a source pursuant to Section
12                  114 (inspections, monitoring, and entry) of the
13                  Clean Air Act.
14             k.  Each CAAPP permit  shall  include  an  emergency
15        provision  providing  an affirmative defense of emergency
16        to   an   action   brought   for    noncompliance    with
17        technology-based   emission  limitations  under  a  CAAPP
18        permit  if  the  following  conditions  are  met  through
19        properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
20        relevant evidence:
21                  i.  An emergency occurred and the permittee can
22             identify the cause(s) of the emergency.
23                  ii.  The permitted facility  was  at  the  time
24             being properly operated.
25                  iii.  The  permittee  submitted  notice  of the
26             emergency to the Agency within 2 working days of the
27             time when emission limitations were exceeded due  to
28             the  emergency.  This notice must contain a detailed
29             description of the emergency,  any  steps  taken  to
30             mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
31                  iv.  During  the  period  of  the emergency the
32             permittee took  all  reasonable  steps  to  minimize
33             levels  of  emissions  that  exceeded  the  emission
34             limitations,   standards,  or  requirements  in  the
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -30-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             permit.
 2             For purposes of this subsection,  "emergency"  means
 3        any   situation   arising   from  sudden  and  reasonably
 4        unforeseeable events beyond the control  of  the  source,
 5        such as an act of God, that requires immediate corrective
 6        action  to  restore normal operation, and that causes the
 7        source to exceed a technology-based  emission  limitation
 8        under   the  permit,  due  to  unavoidable  increases  in
 9        emissions attributable to the  emergency.   An  emergency
10        shall  not  include noncompliance to the extent caused by
11        improperly  designed  equipment,  lack  of   preventative
12        maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operation
13        error.
14             In   any   enforcement   proceeding,  the  permittee
15        seeking to establish the occurrence of an  emergency  has
16        the  burden  of  proof.  This provision is in addition to
17        any  emergency  or  upset  provision  contained  in   any
18        applicable  requirement.  This provision does not relieve
19        a permittee of any reporting obligations  under  existing
20        federal or state laws or regulations.
21             l.  The  Agency  shall include in each permit issued
22        under subsection 10 of this Section:
23                  i.  Terms   and   conditions   for   reasonably
24             anticipated operating scenarios  identified  by  the
25             source  in  its  application.   The permit terms and
26             conditions for each such  operating  scenario  shall
27             meet    all    applicable   requirements   and   the
28             requirements of this Section.
29                       A.  Under this  subparagraph,  the  source
30                  must  record in a log at the permitted facility
31                  a record of the  scenario  under  which  it  is
32                  operating   contemporaneously   with  making  a
33                  change from one operating scenario to another.
34                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -31-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1                  paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall extend  to
 2                  all   terms  and  conditions  under  each  such
 3                  operating scenario.
 4                  ii.  Where requested by an applicant, all terms
 5             and conditions allowing  for  trading  of  emissions
 6             increases  and  decreases between different emission
 7             units at the CAAPP source, to the  extent  that  the
 8             applicable  requirements provide for trading of such
 9             emissions  increases   and   decreases   without   a
10             case-by-case approval of each emissions trade.  Such
11             terms and conditions:
12                       A.  Shall include all terms required under
13                  this subsection to determine compliance;
14                       B.  Must meet all applicable requirements;
15                       C.  Shall   extend   the   permit   shield
16                  described  in paragraph 7(j) of this Section to
17                  all  terms  and  conditions  that  allow   such
18                  increases and decreases in emissions.
19             m.  The  Agency  shall specifically designate as not
20        being federally enforceable under the Clean Air  Act  any
21        terms  and conditions included in the permit that are not
22        specifically required under the Clean Air Act or  federal
23        regulations  promulgated  thereunder. Terms or conditions
24        so designated shall be subject to  all  applicable  state
25        requirements,  except  the  requirements  of subsection 7
26        (other than this paragraph, paragraph q of subsection  7,
27        subsections  8  through 11, and subsections 13 through 16
28        of this Section. The Agency shall, however, include  such
29        terms  and  conditions  in the CAAPP permit issued to the
30        source.
31             n.  Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10  of
32        this  Section  shall  specify and reference the origin of
33        and authority for each term or  condition,  and  identify
34        any  difference  in  form  as  compared to the applicable
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -32-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        requirement upon which the term or condition is based.
 2             o.  Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10  of
 3        this   Section   shall  include  provisions  stating  the
 4        following:
 5                  i.  Duty to comply.  The permittee must  comply
 6             with  all  terms and conditions of the CAAPP permit.
 7             Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation  of
 8             the  Clean  Air  Act and the Act, and is grounds for
 9             any or all of the  following:   enforcement  action;
10             permit  termination,  revocation  and reissuance, or
11             modification;  or  denial  of   a   permit   renewal
12             application.
13                  ii.  Need  to  halt  or  reduce  activity not a
14             defense.  It shall not be a defense for a  permittee
15             in  an  enforcement  action  that it would have been
16             necessary to halt or reduce the  permitted  activity
17             in  order to maintain compliance with the conditions
18             of this permit.
19                  iii.  Permit  actions.   The  permit   may   be
20             modified,   revoked,   reopened,  and  reissued,  or
21             terminated  for  cause  in   accordance   with   the
22             applicable  subsections of Section 39.5 of this Act.
23             The filing of a  request  by  the  permittee  for  a
24             permit  modification,  revocation and reissuance, or
25             termination, or of a notification of planned changes
26             or  anticipated  noncompliance  does  not  stay  any
27             permit condition.
28                  iv.  Property  rights.   The  permit  does  not
29             convey any property  rights  of  any  sort,  or  any
30             exclusive privilege.
31                  v.  Duty to provide information.  The permittee
32             shall furnish to the Agency within a reasonable time
33             specified  by  the  Agency  any information that the
34             Agency may request in writing to  determine  whether
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -33-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             cause  exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing,
 2             or terminating the permit or to determine compliance
 3             with the permit.  Upon request, the permittee  shall
 4             also   furnish  to  the  Agency  copies  of  records
 5             required  to  be  kept  by  the   permit   or,   for
 6             information   claimed   to   be   confidential,  the
 7             permittee may furnish such records directly to USEPA
 8             along with a claim of confidentiality.
 9                  vi.  Duty to pay fees.  The permittee must  pay
10             fees  to the Agency consistent with the fee schedule
11             approved pursuant to subsection 18 of this  Section,
12             and submit any information relevant thereto.
13                  vii.  Emissions  trading.   No  permit revision
14             shall be required for increases in emissions allowed
15             under any approved economic  incentives,  marketable
16             permits,   emissions   trading,  and  other  similar
17             programs or processes for changes that are  provided
18             for  in  the  permit  and that are authorized by the
19             applicable requirement.
20             p.  Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10  of
21        this  Section  shall  contain the following elements with
22        respect to compliance:
23                  i.  Compliance     certification,      testing,
24             monitoring,    reporting,    and    record   keeping
25             requirements sufficient to  assure  compliance  with
26             the   terms  and  conditions  of  the  permit.   Any
27             document (including reports)  required  by  a  CAAPP
28             permit   shall   contain   a   certification   by  a
29             responsible official that meets the requirements  of
30             subsection   5   of   this  Section  and  applicable
31             regulations.
32                  ii.  Inspection  and  entry  requirements  that
33             necessitate that, upon presentation  of  credentials
34             and other documents as may be required by law and in
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -34-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             accordance   with  constitutional  limitations,  the
 2             permittee shall allow the Agency, or  an  authorized
 3             representative to perform the following:
 4                       A.  Enter  upon  the  permittee's premises
 5                  where   a   CAAPP   source   is   located    or
 6                  emissions-related  activity  is  conducted,  or
 7                  where records must be kept under the conditions
 8                  of the permit.
 9                       B.  Have access to and copy, at reasonable
10                  times,  any records that must be kept under the
11                  conditions of the permit.
12                       C.  Inspect  at   reasonable   times   any
13                  facilities, equipment (including monitoring and
14                  air pollution control equipment), practices, or
15                  operations  regulated  or  required  under  the
16                  permit.
17                       D.  Sample  or  monitor  any substances or
18                  parameters at any location:
19                            1.  As authorized by  the  Clean  Air
20                       Act, at reasonable times, for the purposes
21                       of  assuring  compliance  with  the  CAAPP
22                       permit or applicable requirements; or
23                            2.  As  otherwise  authorized by this
24                       Act.
25                  iii.  A schedule of compliance consistent  with
26             subsection   5   of   this  Section  and  applicable
27             regulations.

29             applicable   schedule   of  compliance  pursuant  to
30             paragraph  5(d)  of  this  Section  and   applicable
31             regulations  to  be  submitted semiannually, or more
32             frequently if the Agency determines that  such  more
33             frequent  submittals  are  necessary  for compliance
34             with the Act or regulations promulgated by the Board

31                            3.  Whether compliance was continuous

 1                       source,  both  currently  and   over   the
 2                       reporting     period    consistent    with
 3                       subsection 7 of Section 39.5 of the Act.

 5                  certifications be submitted to USEPA as well as
 6                  to the Agency.
 7                       E.  Additional   requirements  as  may  be
 8                  specified pursuant to  Sections  114(a)(3)  and
 9                  504(b) of the Clean Air Act.
10                       F.  Other  provisions  as  the  Agency may

13        demonstrate   in  its  CAAPP  application,  including  an

15        alternative emission limit would be  equivalent  to  that
16        contained in the applicable Board regulations, the Agency
17        shall include the alternative emission limit in the CAAPP
18        permit,  which  shall  supersede  the  emission limit set
19        forth in the  applicable  Board  regulations,  and  shall
20        include   conditions   that  insure  that  the  resulting
21        emission limit is quantifiable, accountable, enforceable,
22        and based on replicable procedures.
23        8.  Public Notice; Affected State Review.

29             b.  The Agency shall prepare a  draft  CAAPP  permit

31        basis for the draft CAAPP  permit  conditions,  including
32        references  to  the  applicable  statutory  or regulatory

 1             c.  The Agency shall give notice of each draft CAAPP
 2        permit  to  the applicant and to any affected State on or
 3        before the time that the Agency has  provided  notice  to
 4        the public, except as otherwise provided in this Act.
 5             d.  The  Agency,  as  part  of  its  submittal  of a
 6        proposed permit to USEPA (or as soon  as  possible  after
 7        the  submittal  for  minor permit modification procedures
 8        allowed under  subsection  14  of  this  Section),  shall
 9        notify  USEPA  and  any  affected State in writing of any
10        refusal  of   the   Agency   to   accept   all   of   the
11        recommendations  for the proposed permit that an affected
12        State submitted  during  the  public  or  affected  State
13        review  period.   The  notice  shall include the Agency's
14        reasons for  not  accepting  the  recommendations.    The
15        Agency is not required to accept recommendations that are
16        not  based on applicable requirements or the requirements
17        of this Section.
18             e.  The Agency shall make available  to  the  public
19        any  CAAPP permit application, compliance plan (including
20        the schedule of compliance), CAAPP permit, and  emissions
21        or compliance monitoring report.  If an owner or operator
22        of  a  CAAPP  source  is  required  to submit information
23        entitled to protection from disclosure under Section 7(a)
24        or Section 7.1 of this Act, the owner or  operator  shall
25        submit  such information separately.  The requirements of
26        Section 7(a) or Section 7.1 of this Act  shall  apply  to
27        such  information, which shall not be included in a CAAPP
28        permit unless required by law.  The contents of  a  CAAPP
29        permit  shall not be entitled to protection under Section
30        7(a) or Section 7.1 of this Act.
31             f.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
32        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
33        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
34        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 1        9.  USEPA Notice and Objection.
 2             a.  The Agency shall provide to USEPA for its review
 3        a   copy   of   each  CAAPP  application  (including  any
 4        application for permit modification), statement of  basis
 5        as  provided  in paragraph 8(b) of this Section, proposed
 6        CAAPP permit, CAAPP permit, and, if the Agency  does  not
 7        incorporate  any  affected  State's  recommendations on a
 8        proposed  CAAPP  permit,  a  written  statement  of  this
 9        decision  and  its  reasons   for   not   accepting   the
10        recommendations, except as otherwise provided in this Act
11        or  by  agreement with USEPA.  To the extent practicable,
12        the preceding information shall be provided  in  computer
13        readable format compatible with USEPA's national database
14        management system.
15             b.  The  Agency  shall  not issue the proposed CAAPP
16        permit if USEPA objects in  writing  within  45  days  of
17        receipt  of  the  proposed CAAPP permit and all necessary
18        supporting information.
19             c.  If USEPA objects in writing to the  issuance  of
20        the  proposed  CAAPP permit within the 45-day period, the
21        Agency shall  respond  in  writing  and  may  revise  and
22        resubmit  the  proposed  CAAPP  permit in response to the
23        stated objection, to the extent supported by the  record,
24        within 90 days after the date of the objection.  Prior to
25        submitting  a  revised  permit to USEPA, the Agency shall
26        provide the applicant and any person who participated  in
27        the  public  comment process, pursuant to subsection 8 of
28        this Section, with a 10-day  period  to  comment  on  any
29        revision  which  the  Agency  is proposing to make to the
30        permit in response to  USEPA's  objection  in  accordance
31        with Agency procedures.
32             d.  Any   USEPA  objection  under  this  subsection,
33        according to the Clean Air Act, will include a  statement
34        of  reasons  for  the  objection and a description of the
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -39-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        terms and conditions that must be in the permit, in order
 2        to adequately respond to the objections.  Grounds  for  a
 3        USEPA  objection  include  the  failure of the Agency to:
 4        (1) submit the items  and  notices  required  under  this
 5        subsection; (2) submit any other information necessary to
 6        adequately  review  the  proposed  CAAPP  permit;  or (3)
 7        process the permit under subsection  8  of  this  Section
 8        except for minor permit modifications.
 9             e.  If  USEPA does not object in writing to issuance
10        of  a  permit  under  this  subsection,  any  person  may
11        petition USEPA within 60 days  after  expiration  of  the
12        45-day review period to make such objection.
13             f.  If  the permit has not yet been issued and USEPA
14        objects to the permit as a  result  of  a  petition,  the
15        Agency shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection
16        has  been  resolved.  The  Agency  shall provide a 10-day
17        comment period in accordance with  paragraph  c  of  this
18        subsection.  A  petition  does  not,  however,  stay  the
19        effectiveness  of  a  permit  or  its requirements if the
20        permit was issued after expiration of the  45-day  review
21        period and prior to a USEPA objection.
22             g.  If   the   Agency  has  issued  a  permit  after
23        expiration of the  45-day  review  period  and  prior  to
24        receipt  of  a  USEPA  objection under this subsection in
25        response to a petition submitted pursuant to paragraph  e
26        of  this  subsection,  the Agency may, upon receipt of an
27        objection from USEPA, revise and resubmit the  permit  to
28        USEPA  pursuant  to  this  subsection  after  providing a
29        10-day comment period in accordance with paragraph  c  of
30        this  subsection. If the Agency fails to submit a revised
31        permit in response to the objection, USEPA shall  modify,
32        terminate  or revoke the permit.  In any case, the source
33        will not be in  violation  of  the  requirement  to  have
34        submitted a timely and complete application.

 4        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 5        10.  Final Agency Action.
 6             a.  The Agency shall issue a  CAAPP  permit,  permit

12             subsections 5 and 14 of this Section, as applicable,
13             and applicable regulations.
14                  ii.  The   applicant  has  submitted  with  its
15             complete application an approvable compliance  plan,
16             including   a  schedule  for  achieving  compliance,
17             consistent with subsection 5  of  this  Section  and
18             applicable regulations.
19                  iii.  The  applicant  has  timely paid the fees
20             required pursuant to subsection 18 of  this  Section
21             and applicable regulations.
22                  iv.  The  Agency  has received a complete CAAPP
23             application and, if  necessary,  has  requested  and
24             received  additional  information from the applicant
25             consistent with subsection 5  of  this  Section  and
26             applicable regulations.
27                  v.  The Agency has complied with all applicable
28             provisions  regarding  public  notice  and  affected
29             State  review  consistent  with subsection 8 of this
30             Section and applicable regulations.
31                  vi.  The Agency has provided  a  copy  of  each
32             CAAPP  application,  or summary thereof, pursuant to
33             agreement  with  USEPA  and  proposed  CAAPP  permit
34             required under  subsection  9  of  this  Section  to
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -41-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             USEPA, and USEPA has not objected to the issuance of
 2             the  permit in accordance with the Clean Air Act and
 3             40 CFR Part 70.
 4             b.  The Agency shall have the authority  to  deny  a
 5        CAAPP  permit,  permit modification, or permit renewal if
 6        the applicant has not complied with the  requirements  of
 7        paragraphs  (a)(i)-(a)(iv) of this subsection or if USEPA
 8        objects to its issuance.
 9             c. i.  Prior to denial of  a  CAAPP  permit,  permit
10             modification,  or permit renewal under this Section,
11             the  Agency  shall  notify  the  applicant  of   the
12             possible denial and the reasons for the denial.
13                  ii.  Within   such  notice,  the  Agency  shall
14             specify an appropriate date by which  the  applicant
15             shall  adequately  respond  to  the Agency's notice.
16             Such date shall not exceed 15 days from the date the
17             notification is  received  by  the  applicant.   The
18             Agency  may  grant  a  reasonable extension for good
19             cause shown.
20                  iii.  Failure by the  applicant  to  adequately
21             respond by the date specified in the notification or
22             by  any  granted extension date shall be grounds for
23             denial of the permit.
24                  For purposes of obtaining judicial review under
25             Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act, the  Agency  shall
26             provide  to  USEPA  and  each  applicant,  and, upon
27             request,  to  affected  States,   any   person   who
28             participated  in the public comment process, and any
29             other person who could obtain  judicial review under
30             Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act,  a  copy  of  each
31             CAAPP permit or notification of denial pertaining to
32             that party.
33             d.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
34        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -42-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
 2        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 3        11.  General Permits.
 4             a.  The Agency may issue a general  permit  covering
 5        numerous similar sources, except for affected sources for
 6        acid  deposition unless otherwise provided in regulations
 7        promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
 8             b.  The  Agency  shall  identify,  in  any   general
 9        permit,  criteria  by  which  sources may qualify for the
10        general permit.
11             c.  CAAPP sources that would qualify for  a  general
12        permit  must  apply  for  coverage under the terms of the
13        general  permit  or  must  apply  for  a   CAAPP   permit
14        consistent   with   subsection  5  of  this  Section  and
15        applicable regulations.
16             d.  The Agency shall comply with the public  comment
17        and  hearing  provisions  of  this Section as well as the
18        USEPA and  affected  State  review  procedures  prior  to
19        issuance of a general permit.
20             e.  When   granting   a   subsequent  request  by  a
21        qualifying CAAPP source for coverage under the terms of a
22        general permit, the  Agency  shall  not  be  required  to
23        repeat  the  public  notice  and comment procedures.  The
24        granting of such request shall not be considered a  final
25        permit action for purposes of judicial review.
26             f.  The  Agency  may  not  issue a general permit to
27        cover any discrete emission unit at  a  CAAPP  source  if
28        another CAAPP permit covers emission units at the source.
29             g.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
30        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
31        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
32        necessary, to implement this subsection.

33        12.  Operational Flexibility.

 1             a.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may  make
 2        changes  at  the  CAAPP  source without requiring a prior
 3        permit revision, consistent with  subparagraphs  (a)  (i)
 4        through  (a)  (iii)  of  this  subsection, so long as the
 5        changes are not  modifications  under  any  provision  of
 6        Title  I  of the Clean Air Act and they do not exceed the
 7        emissions allowable under the permit  (whether  expressed
 8        therein  as  a  rate  of  emissions  or in terms of total
 9        emissions), provided that the owner or  operator  of  the
10        CAAPP  source  provides USEPA and the Agency with written
11        notification as required below in advance of the proposed
12        changes, which shall be  a  minimum  of  7  days,  unless
13        otherwise   provided   by   the   Agency   in  applicable
14        regulations regarding emergencies.  The owner or operator
15        of a CAAPP source and the Agency shall each  attach  such
16        notice to their copy of the relevant permit.
17                  i.  An  owner or operator of a CAAPP source may
18             make Section 502 (b) (10) changes without  a  permit
19             revision, if the changes are not modifications under
20             any  provision  of  Title I of the Clean Air Act and
21             the changes do not exceed  the  emissions  allowable
22             under  the  permit  (whether  expressed therein as a
23             rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions).
24                       A.  For  each  such  change,  the  written
25                  notification required  above  shall  include  a
26                  brief  description  of  the  change  within the
27                  source, the  date  on  which  the  change  will
28                  occur,  any change in emissions, and any permit
29                  term or condition that is no longer  applicable
30                  as a result of the change.
31                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
32                  paragraph  7(j) of this Section shall not apply
33                  to   any   change   made   pursuant   to   this
34                  subparagraph.

 1                  ii.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may
 2             trade increases and decreases in  emissions  in  the
 3             CAAPP  source,  where  the applicable implementation
 4             plan  provides  for  such  emission  trades  without
 5             requiring a  permit  revision.   This  provision  is
 6             available  in  those cases where the permit does not
 7             already provide for such emissions trading.
 8                       A.  Under this subparagraph  (a)(ii),  the
 9                  written   notification   required  above  shall
10                  include such information as may be required  by
11                  the  provision in the applicable implementation
12                  plan authorizing the emissions trade, including
13                  at a minimum, when the  proposed  changes  will
14                  occur,  a  description of each such change, any
15                  change in emissions,  the  permit  requirements
16                  with  which  the  source  will comply using the
17                  emissions trading provisions of the  applicable
18                  implementation plan, and the pollutants emitted
19                  subject  to  the  emissions  trade.  The notice
20                  shall also  refer  to  the  provisions  in  the
21                  applicable  implementation  plan with which the
22                  source  will  comply  and   provide   for   the
23                  emissions trade.
24                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
25                  paragraph  7(j) of this Section shall not apply
26                  to   any   change   made   pursuant   to   this
27                  subparagraph (a) (ii).    Compliance  with  the
28                  permit  requirements  that the source will meet
29                  using the emissions trade shall  be  determined
30                  according to the requirements of the applicable
31                  implementation  plan  authorizing the emissions
32                  trade.
33                  iii.  If requested within a CAAPP  application,
34             the Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -45-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             terms  and  conditions, including all terms required
 2             under subsection 7  of  this  Section  to  determine
 3             compliance,  allowing  for  the trading of emissions
 4             increases and decreases at the CAAPP  source  solely
 5             for    the    purpose    of    complying    with   a
 6             federally-enforceable   emissions   cap   that    is
 7             established  in  the permit independent of otherwise
 8             applicable requirements.  The owner or operator of a
 9             CAAPP source shall include in its CAAPP  application
10             proposed replicable procedures and permit terms that
11             ensure  the  emissions  trades  are quantifiable and
12             enforceable.   The   permit   shall   also   require
13             compliance with all applicable requirements.
14                       A.  Under  this subparagraph (a)(iii), the
15                  written notification required above shall state
16                  when the change will occur and  shall  describe
17                  the  changes  in emissions that will result and
18                  how these increases and decreases in  emissions
19                  will  comply  with  the terms and conditions of
20                  the permit.
21                       B.  The   permit   shield   described   in
22                  paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall extend  to
23                  terms  and conditions that allow such increases
24                  and decreases in emissions.
25             b.  An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may  make
26        changes  that  are  not  addressed  or  prohibited by the
27        permit,  other  than  those  which  are  subject  to  any
28        requirements under Title IV of the Clean Air Act  or  are
29        modifications  under  any  provisions  of  Title I of the
30        Clean Air Act, without a permit revision,  in  accordance
31        with the following requirements:
32                  (i)  Each such change shall meet all applicable
33             requirements  and  shall  not  violate  any existing
34             permit term or condition;
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -46-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1                  (ii)  Sources  must   provide   contemporaneous
 2             written  notice to the Agency and USEPA of each such
 3             change,  except  for   changes   that   qualify   as
 4             insignificant under provisions adopted by the Agency
 5             or  the  Board.  Such  written notice shall describe
 6             each such change, including the date, any change  in
 7             emissions,  pollutants  emitted,  and any applicable
 8             requirement that would apply  as  a  result  of  the
 9             change;
10                  (iii)  The  change  shall  not  qualify for the
11             shield described in paragraph 7(j) of this  Section;
12             and
13                  (iv)  The   permittee   shall   keep  a  record
14             describing changes made at the source that result in
15             emissions of a regulated air pollutant subject to an
16             applicable  Clean  Air  Act  requirement,  but   not
17             otherwise   regulated  under  the  permit,  and  the
18             emissions resulting from those changes.
19             c.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
20        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
21        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
22        necessary to implement this subsection.

23        13.  Administrative Permit Amendments.
24             a.  The  Agency shall take final action on a request
25        for an administrative permit amendment within 60 days  of
26        receipt   of   the   request.    Neither  notice  nor  an
27        opportunity for public and affected State  comment  shall
28        be required for the Agency to incorporate such revisions,
29        provided  it  designates  the  permit revisions as having
30        been made pursuant to this subsection.
31             b.  The Agency shall submit a copy  of  the  revised
32        permit to USEPA.
33             c.  For   purposes   of   this   Section   the  term
34        "administrative permit amendment" shall be defined as:  a
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -47-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        permit revision that can accomplish one or  more  of  the
 2        changes described below:
 3                  i.  Corrects typographical errors;
 4                  ii.  Identifies  a change in the name, address,
 5             or phone number of  any  person  identified  in  the
 6             permit,  or  provides a similar minor administrative
 7             change at the source;
 8                  iii.  Requires  more  frequent  monitoring   or
 9             reporting by the permittee;
10                  iv.  Allows   for  a  change  in  ownership  or
11             operational control of a  source  where  the  Agency
12             determines  that  no  other  change in the permit is
13             necessary,  provided  that   a   written   agreement
14             containing  a  specific  date for transfer of permit
15             responsibility, coverage, and liability between  the
16             current and new permittees has been submitted to the
17             Agency;
18                  v.  Incorporates  into  the  CAAPP  permit  the
19             requirements  from  preconstruction  review  permits
20             authorized  under a USEPA-approved program, provided
21             the  program   meets   procedural   and   compliance
22             requirements   substantially   equivalent  to  those
23             contained in this Section;
24                  vi.  (Blank) Incorporates into the CAAPP permit
25             revised limitations or other requirements  resulting
26             from   the   application  of  an  approved  economic
27             incentives  rule,  a  marketable  permits  rule   or
28             generic  emissions  trading  rule, where these rules
29             have been approved  by  USEPA  and  require  changes
30             thereunder    to    meet   procedural   requirements
31             substantially equivalent to those specified in  this
32             Section; or
33                  vii.  Any  other type of change which USEPA has
34             determined as part  of  the  approved  CAAPP  permit
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -48-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             program  to  be  similar  to  those included in this
 2             subsection.
 3             d.  The Agency  shall,  upon  taking  final   action
 4        granting   a   request   for   an  administrative  permit
 5        amendment,  allow  coverage  by  the  permit  shield   in
 6        paragraph  7(j) of this Section for administrative permit
 7        amendments made pursuant to subparagraph (c)(v)  of  this
 8        subsection  which  meet  the  relevant  requirements  for
 9        significant permit modifications.
10             e.  Permit  revisions  and  modifications, including
11        administrative  amendments   and   automatic   amendments
12        (pursuant  to Sections 408(b) and 403(d) of the Clean Air
13        Act or regulations promulgated thereunder), for  purposes
14        of  the acid rain portion of the permit shall be governed
15        by the regulations promulgated  under  Title  IV  of  the
16        Clean  Air  Act.  Owners or operators of affected sources
17        for acid deposition shall have the flexibility  to  amend
18        their  compliance  plans  as  provided in the regulations
19        promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air Act.
20             f.  The  CAAPP  source  may  implement  the  changes
21        addressed in the request  for  an  administrative  permit
22        amendment immediately upon submittal of the request.
23             g.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
24        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
25        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
26        necessary, to implement this subsection.

27        14.  Permit Modifications.
28             a.  Minor permit modification procedures.
29                  i.  The   Agency   shall   review   a    permit
30             modification  using  the "minor permit" modification
31             procedures only for those permit modifications that:
32                       A.  Do   not   violate   any    applicable
33                  requirement;
34                       B.  Do  not involve significant changes to
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -49-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1                  existing     monitoring,     reporting,      or
 2                  recordkeeping requirements in the permit;
 3                       C.  Do    not   require   a   case-by-case
 4                  determination  of  an  emission  limitation  or
 5                  other   standard,    or    a    source-specific
 6                  determination   of   ambient   impacts,   or  a
 7                  visibility or increment analysis;
 8                       D.  Do not seek to establish or  change  a
 9                  permit  term or condition for which there is no
10                  corresponding underlying requirement and  which
11                  avoids  an  applicable requirement to which the
12                  source would otherwise be subject.  Such  terms
13                  and conditions include:
14                            1.  A federally enforceable emissions
15                       cap  assumed  to avoid classification as a
16                       modification under any provision of  Title
17                       I of the Clean Air Act; and
18                            2.  An  alternative  emissions  limit
19                       approved     pursuant    to    regulations
20                       promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of the
21                       Clean Air Act;
22                       E.  Are  not   modifications   under   any
23                  provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and
24                       F.  Are  not required to be processed as a
25                  significant modification.
26                  ii.  Notwithstanding subparagraphs  (a)(i)  and
27             (b)(ii)    of    this   subsection,   minor   permit
28             modification  procedures  may  be  used  for  permit
29             modifications  involving   the   use   of   economic
30             incentives,  marketable  permits, emissions trading,
31             and other similar approaches,  to  the  extent  that
32             such   minor   permit  modification  procedures  are
33             explicitly   provided   for   in    an    applicable
34             implementation  plan  or  in applicable requirements
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -50-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             promulgated by USEPA.
 2                  iii.  An applicant requesting the use of  minor
 3             permit   modification   procedures  shall  meet  the
 4             requirements of subsection 5  of  this  Section  and
 5             shall include the following in its application:
 6                       A.  A   description  of  the  change,  the
 7                  emissions resulting from the  change,  and  any
 8                  new  applicable requirements that will apply if
 9                  the change occurs;
10                       B.  The source's suggested draft permit;
11                       C.  Certification   by    a    responsible
12                  official,  consistent  with  paragraph  5(e) of
13                  this Section and applicable  regulations,  that
14                  the  proposed  modification  meets the criteria
15                  for use of minor permit modification procedures
16                  and a request that such procedures be used; and
17                       D.  Completed forms for the Agency to  use
18                  to notify USEPA and affected States as required
19                  under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
20                  iv.  Within  5  working  days  of  receipt of a
21             complete permit modification application, the Agency
22             shall  notify  USEPA  and  affected  States  of  the
23             requested permit  modification  in  accordance  with
24             subsections  8  and  9  of this Section.  The Agency
25             promptly  shall  send  any  notice  required   under
26             paragraph 8(d) of this Section to USEPA.
27                  v.  The  Agency  may  not  issue a final permit
28             modification until after the  45-day  review  period
29             for  USEPA  or  until  USEPA has notified the Agency
30             that USEPA will not object to the  issuance  of  the
31             permit modification, whichever comes first, although
32             the Agency can approve the permit modification prior
33             to  that  time.   Within  90  days  of  the Agency's
34             receipt of an application  under  the  minor  permit
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -51-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             modification  procedures or 15 days after the end of
 2             USEPA's 45-day review period under subsection  9  of
 3             this Section, whichever is later, the Agency shall:
 4                       A.  Issue   the   permit  modification  as
 5                  proposed;
 6                       B.  Deny    the    permit     modification
 7                  application;
 8                       C.  Determine     that    the    requested
 9                  modification does not  meet  the  minor  permit
10                  modification  criteria  and  should be reviewed
11                  under the significant modification  procedures;
12                  or
13                       D.  Revise  the  draft permit modification
14                  and transmit to USEPA the new  proposed  permit
15                  modification  as  required  by  subsection 9 of
16                  this Section.
17                  vi.  Any  CAAPP  source  may  make  the  change
18             proposed   in   its   minor   permit    modification
19             application   immediately   after   it   files  such
20             application.   After  the  CAAPP  source  makes  the
21             change allowed by the preceding sentence, and  until
22             the  Agency  takes  any  of the actions specified in
23             subparagraphs (a)(v)(A) through  (a)(v)(C)  of  this
24             subsection,  the  source  must  comply with both the
25             applicable requirements governing the change and the
26             proposed permit terms and conditions.   During  this
27             time  period,  the  source  need not comply with the
28             existing permit terms and  conditions  it  seeks  to
29             modify.    If  the  source  fails to comply with its
30             proposed permit terms  and  conditions  during  this
31             time   period,   the   existing   permit  terms  and
32             conditions which it seeks to modify may be  enforced
33             against it.
34                  vii.  The permit shield under subparagraph 7(j)
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -52-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             of  this  Section  may  not  extend  to minor permit
 2             modifications.
 3                  viii.  If a construction  permit  is  required,
 4             pursuant   to   Section   39(a)   of  this  Act  and
 5             regulations thereunder, for a change for  which  the
 6             minor permit modification procedures are applicable,
 7             the  source  may  request that the processing of the
 8             construction permit application be consolidated with
 9             the processing of  the  application  for  the  minor
10             permit  modification.  In such cases, the provisions
11             of this Section, including those within  subsections
12             5, 8, and 9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on
13             such applications pursuant to subparagraph 14(a)(v).
14             The  source may make the proposed change immediately
15             after filing its application for  the  minor  permit
16             modification.   Nothing  in  this subparagraph shall
17             otherwise affect  the  requirements  and  procedures
18             applicable to construction permits.
19             b.  Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications.
20                  i.  Where  requested by an applicant within its
21             application, the Agency shall process  groups  of  a
22             source's   applications  for  certain  modifications
23             eligible for  minor permit  modification  processing
24             in  accordance with the provisions of this paragraph
25             (b).
26                  ii.  Permit modifications may be  processed  in
27             accordance with the procedures for group processing,
28             for those modifications:
29                       A.  Which  meet  the  criteria  for  minor
30                  permit     modification     procedures    under
31                  subparagraph 14(a)(i) of this Section; and
32                       B.  That collectively are below 10 percent
33                  of the emissions allowed by the permit for  the
34                  emissions  unit  for which change is requested,
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -53-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1                  20 percent  of  the  applicable  definition  of
 2                  major  source set forth in subsection 2 of this
 3                  Section, or  5  tons  per  year,  whichever  is
 4                  least.
 5                  iii.  An  applicant requesting the use of group
 6             processing procedures shall meet the requirements of
 7             subsection 5 of this Section and shall  include  the
 8             following in its application:
 9                       A.  A   description  of  the  change,  the
10                  emissions resulting from the  change,  and  any
11                  new  applicable requirements that will apply if
12                  the change occurs.
13                       B.  The source's suggested draft permit.
14                       C.  Certification   by    a    responsible
15                  official consistent with paragraph 5(e) of this
16                  Section,  that  the proposed modification meets
17                  the  criteria  for  use  of  group   processing
18                  procedures  and  a request that such procedures
19                  be used.
20                       D.  A list of the source's  other  pending
21                  applications  awaiting  group processing, and a
22                  determination   of   whether   the    requested
23                  modification,   aggregated   with  these  other
24                  applications, equals or exceeds  the  threshold
25                  set   under  subparagraph  (b)(ii)(B)  of  this
26                  subsection.
27                       E.  Certification,     consistent     with
28                  paragraph 5(e), that the  source  has  notified
29                  USEPA   of  the  proposed  modification.   Such
30                  notification  need   only   contain   a   brief
31                  description of the requested modification.
32                       F.  Completed  forms for the Agency to use
33                  to notify USEPA and affected states as required
34                  under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.

 1                  iv.  On a quarterly basis or within 5  business
 2             days of receipt of an application demonstrating that
 3             the  aggregate  of  a  source's pending applications
 4             equals or exceeds  the  threshold  level  set  forth
 5             within  subparagraph  (b)(ii)(B) of this subsection,
 6             whichever is  earlier,  the  Agency  shall  promptly
 7             notify  USEPA  and  affected States of the requested
 8             permit modifications in accordance with  subsections
 9             8  and 9 of this Section.  The Agency shall send any
10             notice required under paragraph 8(d) of this Section
11             to USEPA.
12                  v.  The provisions of  subparagraph  (a)(v)  of
13             this   subsection   shall   apply  to  modifications
14             eligible  for  group  processing,  except  that  the
15             Agency shall take one of the  actions  specified  in
16             subparagraphs  (a)(v)(A)  through  (a)(v)(D) of this
17             subsection  within  180  days  of  receipt  of   the
18             application  or  15  days  after  the end of USEPA's
19             45-day review period  under  subsection  9  of  this
20             Section, whichever is later.
21                  vi.  The  provisions of subparagraph (a)(vi) of
22             this subsection shall  apply  to  modifications  for
23             group processing.
24                  vii.  The  provisions of paragraph 7(j) of this
25             Section shall not apply  to  modifications  eligible
26             for group processing.
27             c.  Significant Permit Modifications.
28                  i.  Significant  modification  procedures shall
29             be  used  for  applications  requesting  significant
30             permit modifications and for those applications that
31             do not qualify as either minor permit  modifications
32             or as administrative permit amendments.
33                  ii.  Every   significant   change  in  existing
34             monitoring permit  terms  or  conditions  and  every
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -55-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             relaxation    of    reporting    or    recordkeeping
 2             requirements  shall  be  considered  significant.  A
 3             modification shall also be considered significant if
 4             in  the  judgment  of  the  Agency  action   on   an
 5             application for modification would require decisions
 6             to  be  made  on technically complex issues. Nothing
 7             herein shall be construed to preclude the  permittee
 8             from  making  changes  consistent  with this Section
 9             that would render existing permit  compliance  terms
10             and conditions irrelevant.
11                  iii.  Significant   permit  modifications  must
12             meet all the requirements of this Section, including
13             those  for  applications   (including   completeness
14             review),  public  participation,  review by affected
15             States, and review by USEPA  applicable  to  initial
16             permit  issuance  and  permit  renewal.   The Agency
17             shall  take  final  action  on  significant   permit
18             modifications  within  9  months  after receipt of a
19             complete application.
20             d.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
21        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
22        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
23        necessary, to implement this subsection.

24        15.  Reopenings for Cause by the Agency.
25             a.  Each   issued   CAAPP   permit   shall   include
26        provisions  specifying  the  conditions  under  which the
27        permit will be reopened prior to the  expiration  of  the
28        permit.  Such revisions shall be made as expeditiously as
29        practicable.   A  CAAPP  permit  shall  be  reopened  and
30        revised  under  any  of  the  following circumstances, in
31        accordance with procedures adopted by the Agency:
32                  i.  Additional requirements under the Clean Air
33             Act become applicable to a major  CAAPP  source  for
34             which 3 or more years remain on the original term of
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -56-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             the permit.  Such a reopening shall be completed not
 2             later  than  18 months after the promulgation of the
 3             applicable  requirement.   No   such   revision   is
 4             required if the effective date of the requirement is
 5             later  than  the  date on which the permit is due to
 6             expire.
 7                  ii.  Additional requirements (including  excess
 8             emissions  requirements)  become  applicable  to  an
 9             affected  source  for acid deposition under the acid
10             rain program.  Excess emissions offset  plans  shall
11             be  deemed  to  be incorporated into the permit upon
12             approval by USEPA.
13                  iii.  The Agency or USEPA determines  that  the
14             permit   contains   a   material   mistake  or  that
15             inaccurate statements were made in establishing  the
16             emissions  standards, limitations, or other terms or
17             conditions of the permit.
18                  iv.  The Agency or USEPA  determines  that  the
19             permit   must   be  revised  or  revoked  to  assure
20             compliance with the applicable  requirements.
21             b.  In the event that  the  Agency  determines  that
22        there are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause,
23        consistent  with paragraph a of this subsection, it shall
24        file a petition before the Board setting forth the  basis
25        for  such revocation.  In any such proceeding, the Agency
26        shall have the burden of  establishing  that  the  permit
27        should  be  revoked under the standards set forth in this
28        Act and the Clean Air Act.  Any such proceeding shall  be
29        conducted   pursuant   to   the  Board's  procedures  for
30        adjudicatory hearings and  the  Board  shall  render  its
31        decision  within  120 days of the filing of the petition.
32        The Agency shall take final action to revoke and  reissue
33        a CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order.
34             c.  Proceedings  regarding  a  reopened CAAPP permit
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -57-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        shall follow the same  procedures  as  apply  to  initial
 2        permit  issuance and shall affect only those parts of the
 3        permit for which cause to reopen exists.
 4             d.  Reopenings   under   paragraph   (a)   of   this
 5        subsection shall not be initiated before a notice of such
 6        intent is provided to the CAAPP source by the  Agency  at
 7        least  30  days in advance of the date that the permit is
 8        to be reopened, except that  the  Agency  may  provide  a
 9        shorter time period in the case of an emergency.
10             e.  The  Agency  shall  have  the authority to adopt
11        procedural  rules,  in  accordance  with   the   Illinois
12        Administrative   Procedure   Act,  as  the  Agency  deems
13        necessary, to implement this subsection.

14        16.  Reopenings for Cause by USEPA.
15             a.  When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate,
16        modify, or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant  to
17        subsection  15  of  this Section, and thereafter notifies
18        the Agency and the permittee of such finding in  writing,
19        the  Agency  shall  forward  to USEPA and the permittee a
20        proposed determination of termination,  modification,  or
21        revocation  and  reissuance as appropriate, in accordance
22        with  paragraph  b  of  this  subsection.  The   Agency's
23        proposed  determination  shall  be in accordance with the
24        record,  the  Clean  Air  Act,  regulations   promulgated
25        thereunder,   this   Act   and   regulations  promulgated
26        thereunder. Such proposed determination shall not  affect
27        the  permit  or  constitute  a  final  permit  action for
28        purposes of this Act or the  Administrative  Review  Law.
29        The   Agency   shall   forward  to  USEPA  such  proposed
30        determination  within  90  days  after  receipt  of   the
31        notification  from USEPA. If additional time is necessary
32        to submit the proposed determination,  the  Agency  shall
33        request  a  90-day  extension from USEPA and shall submit
34        the proposed determination within 180 days of receipt  of
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -58-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        notification from USEPA.
 2                  b. i.  Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA
 3             of  a  proposed determination to terminate or revoke
 4             and reissue the permit,  the  Agency  shall  file  a
 5             petition  before  the  Board  setting  forth USEPA's
 6             objection, the permit record, the Agency's  proposed
 7             determination,   and   the   justification  for  its
 8             proposed determination. The Board  shall  conduct  a
 9             hearing  pursuant to the rules prescribed by Section
10             32 of this Act, and the burden of proof shall be  on
11             the Agency.
12                  ii.  After due consideration of the written and
13             oral  statements,  the  testimony and arguments that
14             shall be submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue
15             and  enter  an  interim  order  for   the   proposed
16             determination, which shall set forth all changes, if
17             any,    required    in    the    Agency's   proposed
18             determination. The interim order shall  comply  with
19             the  requirements  for  final orders as set forth in
20             Section 33 of this Act. Issuance of an interim order
21             by the Board under this  paragraph,  however,  shall
22             not affect the permit status and does not constitute
23             a  final  action  for  purposes  of  this Act or the
24             Administrative Review Law.
25                  iii.  The Board  shall  cause  a  copy  of  its
26             interim  order  to be served upon all parties to the
27             proceeding as well as upon USEPA. The  Agency  shall
28             submit   the  proposed  determination  to  USEPA  in
29             accordance with the Board's Interim Order within 180
30             days after receipt of the notification from USEPA.
31             c. USEPA shall review the proposed determination  to
32        terminate,  modify,  or  revoke  and  reissue  the permit
33        within 90 days of receipt.
34                  i.  When    USEPA    reviews    the    proposed
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -59-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
 2             does not object, the Board shall, within 7  days  of
 3             receipt of USEPA's final approval, enter the interim
 4             order  as  a  final  order.  The  final order may be
 5             appealed as provided by Title XI of  this  Act.  The
 6             Agency  shall  take  final action in accordance with
 7             the Board's final order.
 8                  ii.  When   USEPA   reviews    such    proposed
 9             determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
10             objects,  the  Agency shall submit USEPA's objection
11             and the Agency's comments and recommendation on  the
12             objection  to  the  Board  and  permittee. The Board
13             shall  review  its  interim  order  in  response  to
14             USEPA's objection  and  the  Agency's  comments  and
15             recommendation and issue a final order in accordance
16             with  Sections  32  and  33  of this Act. The Agency
17             shall,  within  90  days  after  receipt   of   such
18             objection,   respond   to   USEPA's   objection   in
19             accordance with the Board's final order.
20                  iii.  When    USEPA   reviews   such   proposed
21             determination to  modify  and  objects,  the  Agency
22             shall,   within   90   days  after  receipt  of  the
23             objection, resolve  the  objection  and  modify  the
24             permit  in  accordance with USEPA's objection, based
25             upon the record,  the  Clean  Air  Act,  regulations
26             promulgated  thereunder,  this  Act, and regulations
27             promulgated thereunder.
28             d.  If the  Agency  fails  to  submit  the  proposed
29        determination  pursuant to paragraph a of this subsection
30        or fails to  resolve  any  USEPA  objection  pursuant  to
31        paragraph  c  of  this  subsection, USEPA will terminate,
32        modify, or revoke and reissue the permit.
33             e.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
34        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -60-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
 2        necessary, to implement this subsection.

 3        17.  Title IV; Acid Rain Provisions.
 4             a.  The   Agency   shall   act   on   initial  CAAPP
 5        applications for affected sources for acid deposition  in

17        but not limited to 40 C.F.R. Part 72, as now or hereafter
18        amended,  are  applicable  to  and enforceable under this
19        Act.
20             b.  A  designated  representative  of  an   affected
21        source  for  acid  deposition  shall  submit a timely and
22        complete  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  application  and
23        compliance plan to the Agency, not later than January  1,
24        1996,  that  meets the requirements of Titles IV and V of
25        the Clean Air Act and regulations. The Agency  shall  act
26        on   the  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  application  and
27        compliance plan in accordance with this Section and Title
28        V of  the  Clean  Air  Act  and  regulations  promulgated
29        thereunder,  except  as modified by Title IV of the Clean
30        Air  Act  and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.  The
31        Agency shall issue the Phase II acid rain  permit  to  an
32        affected   source  for  acid  deposition  no  later  than
33        December  31,  1997,  which  shall  become  effective  on

HB3373 Engrossed            -61-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        as  modified  by  Title  IV  and  regulations promulgated
 2        thereunder; provided that the  designated  representative
 3        of  the  source  submitted a timely and complete Phase II
 4        permit application and compliance plan to the Agency that
 5        meets the requirements of Title IV and V of the Clean Air
 6        Act and regulations.
 7             c.  Each  Phase  II  acid  rain  permit  issued   in
 8        accordance  with  this subsection shall have a fixed term
 9        of 5 years. Except as provided in paragraph b above,  the
10        Agency  shall  issue  or deny a Phase II acid rain permit
11        within 18 months of receiving a complete Phase II  permit
12        application and compliance plan.
13             d.  A  designated  representative  of a new unit, as
14        defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, shall submit
15        a  timely  and  complete  Phase  II  acid   rain   permit
16        application   and   compliance   plan   that   meets  the
17        requirements of Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act  and
18        its  regulations.  The Agency shall act on the new unit's
19        Phase II acid rain permit application and compliance plan
20        in accordance with this Section and Title V of the  Clean
21        Air  Act and its regulations, except as modified by Title
22        IV of the Clean Air Act and its regulations.  The  Agency
23        shall  reopen  the  new  unit's CAAPP permit for cause to
24        incorporate the approved Phase II  acid  rain  permit  in
25        accordance  with  this  Section.  The  Phase II acid rain
26        permit for the new unit shall become effective  no  later
27        than  the  date  required under Title IV of the Clean Air
28        Act and its regulations.

30        source  for  acid  deposition  shall  submit a timely and
31        complete Title IV NOx permit application to  the  Agency,
32        not   later   than   January  1,  1998,  that  meets  the
33        requirements of Titles IV and V of the Clean Air Act  and
34        its  regulations.  The  Agency  shall reopen the Phase II
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -62-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        acid rain permit for cause and incorporate  the  approved
 2        NOx  provisions  into  the  Phase II acid rain permit not
 3        later than January  1,  1999,  in  accordance  with  this
 4        Section,  except as modified by Title IV of the Clean Air
 5        Act  and   regulations   promulgated   thereunder.   Such
 6        reopening  shall not affect the term of the Phase II acid
 7        rain permit.
 8             f.  The designated representative  of  the  affected
 9        source  for acid deposition shall renew the initial CAAPP
10        permit and Phase II acid rain permit in  accordance  with
11        this  Section  and  Title  V  of  the  Clean  Air Act and
12        regulations promulgated thereunder, except as modified by
13        Title IV of the Clean Air Act and regulations promulgated
14        thereunder.
15             g.  In the case  of  an  affected  source  for  acid
16        deposition for which a complete Phase II acid rain permit
17        application and compliance plan are timely received under
18        this  subsection,  the  complete  permit  application and
19        compliance plan, including amendments thereto,  shall  be
20        binding   on   the   owner,   operator   and   designated
21        representative, all affected units for acid deposition at
22        the  affected  source,  and any other unit, as defined in
23        Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, governed by  the  Phase
24        II  acid rain permit application and shall be enforceable
25        as an acid rain permit for purposes of Titles IV and V of
26        the Clean Air Act, from the date  of  submission  of  the
27        acid  rain  permit application until a Phase II acid rain
28        permit is issued or denied by the Agency.
29             h.  The Agency shall not include  or  implement  any
30        measure   which   would  interfere  with  or  modify  the
31        requirements  of  Title  IV  of  the  Clean  Air  Act  or
32        regulations promulgated thereunder.
33             i.  Nothing in this Section shall  be  construed  as
34        affecting  allowances  or  USEPA's  decision regarding an
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -63-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        excess emissions offset plan, as set forth in Title IV of
 2        the Clean Air Act or regulations promulgated thereunder.
 3                  i.  No permit revision shall  be  required  for
 4             increases   in  emissions  that  are  authorized  by
 5             allowances  acquired  pursuant  to  the  acid   rain
 6             program, provided that such increases do not require
 7             a   permit   revision  under  any  other  applicable
 8             requirement.
 9                  ii.  No limit shall be placed on the number  of
10             allowances  held by the source.  The source may not,
11             however,   use   allowances   as   a   defense    to
12             noncompliance with any other applicable requirement.
13                  iii.  Any such allowance shall be accounted for
14             according   to   the   procedures   established   in
15             regulations  promulgated under Title IV of the Clean
16             Air Act.
17             j.  To  the  extent  that  the  federal  regulations
18        promulgated under Title IV, including but not limited  to
19        40  C.F.R.  Part  72,  as  now  or hereafter amended, are
20        inconsistent with  the  federal  regulations  promulgated
21        under  Title V, the federal regulations promulgated under
22        Title IV shall take precedence.
23             k.  The USEPA may intervene as a matter of right  in
24        any  permit  appeal involving a Phase II acid rain permit
25        provision or denial of a Phase II acid rain permit.
26             l.  It is unlawful for  any  owner  or  operator  to
27        violate  any  terms or conditions of a Phase II acid rain
28        permit issued  under  this  subsection,  to  operate  any
29        affected  source for acid deposition except in compliance
30        with a Phase II acid rain permit  issued  by  the  Agency
31        under this subsection, or to violate any other applicable
32        requirements.
33             m.  The  designated  representative  of  an affected
34        source for acid deposition shall submit to the Agency the
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -64-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        data  and  information  submitted  quarterly  to   USEPA,
 2        pursuant   to   40   CFR  75.64,  concurrently  with  the
 3        submission to USEPA. The submission shall be in the  same
 4        electronic format as specified by USEPA.
 5             n.  The   Agency  shall  act  on  any  petition  for
 6        exemption of a new unit or retired unit, as  those  terms
 7        are defined in Section 402 of the Clean Air Act, from the
 8        requirements  of the acid rain program in accordance with
 9        Title IV of the Clean Air Act and its regulations.
10             o.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
11        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
12        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
13        necessary to implement this subsection.

14        18.  Fee Provisions.
15             a.  For each 12 month period after the date on which
16        the  USEPA  approves or conditionally approves the CAAPP,
17        but in no event  prior  to  January  1,  1994,  a  source
18        subject  to this Section or excluded under subsection 1.1
19        or paragraph 3(c) of this Section, shall  pay  a  fee  as
20        provided   in  this  part  (a)  of  this  subsection  18.
21        However,  a  source  that  has  been  excluded  from  the
22        provisions  of  this  Section  under  subsection  1.1  or
23        paragraph 3(c) of this Section because the  source  emits
24        less  than  25  tons  per  year  of  any  combination  of
25        regulated  air  pollutants  shall  pay fees in accordance
26        with paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 9.6.
27                  i.  The fee for a source allowed to  emit  less
28             than  100  tons  per  year  of  any  combination  of
29             regulated air pollutants shall be $1,000 per year.
30                  ii.  The  fee  for a source allowed to emit 100
31             tons  or  more  per  year  of  any  combination   of
32             regulated air pollutants, except for those regulated
33             air  pollutants  excluded in paragraph 18(f) of this
34             subsection, shall be as follows:
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -65-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1                       A.  The Agency shall assess an annual  fee
 2                  of  $13.50  per ton for the allowable emissions
 3                  of all regulated air pollutants at that  source
 4                  during  the  term  of  the  permit.  These fees
 5                  shall be used by the Agency and  the  Board  to
 6                  fund  the activities required by Title V of the
 7                  Clean Air Act including such activities as  may
 8                  be carried out by other State or local agencies
 9                  pursuant  to  paragraph (d) of this subsection.
10                  The amount of such fee shall be  based  on  the
11                  information  supplied  by  the applicant in its
12                  complete CAAPP permit  application  or  in  the
13                  CAAPP permit if the permit has been granted and
14                  shall  be determined by the amount of emissions
15                  that the source is allowed  to  emit  annually,
16                  provided  however,  that  no  source  shall  be
17                  required  to  pay  an  annual  fee in excess of
18                  $100,000.  The Agency shall provide as part  of
19                  the  permit  application  form  required  under
20                  subsection  5  of  this  Section a separate fee
21                  calculation form which will allow the applicant
22                  to  identify  the   allowable   emissions   and
23                  calculate  the  fee for the term of the permit.
24                  In no event shall the Agency raise  the  amount
25                  of   allowable   emissions   requested  by  the
26                  applicant unless such increases are required to
27                  demonstrate compliance with terms  of  a  CAAPP
28                  permit.
29                       Notwithstanding  the  above, any applicant
30                  may seek a change in  its  permit  which  would
31                  result  in increases in allowable emissions due
32                  to an increase in the  hours  of  operation  or
33                  production  rates  of an emission unit or units
34                  and such a change shall be consistent with  the
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -66-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1                  construction   permit   requirements   of   the
 2                  existing  State  permit  program, under Section
 3                  39(a) of this Act and applicable provisions  of
 4                  this  Section.   Where a construction permit is
 5                  required, the Agency shall expeditiously  grant
 6                  such   construction   permit   and   shall,  if
 7                  necessary, modify the CAAPP permit based on the
 8                  same application.
 9                       B.  Except  for  the  first  year  of  the
10                  CAAPP, The applicant or permittee may  pay  the
11                  fee  annually  or  semiannually  for those fees
12                  greater than  $5,000.  However,  any  applicant
13                  paying  a fee equal to or greater than $100,000
14                  shall pay the full amount on July  1,  for  the
15                  subsequent  fiscal  year, or pay 50% of the fee
16                  on July 1 and the remaining  50%  by  the  next
17                  January  1.   The  Agency may change any annual
18                  billing date upon reasonable notice, but  shall
19                  prorate  the  new bill so that the permittee or
20                  applicant does not pay more than  its  required
21                  fees  for  the  fee period for which payment is
22                  made.
23             b.  (Blank). For fiscal year 1999  and  each  fiscal
24        year thereafter, to the extent that permit fees collected
25        and  deposited  in the CAA Permit Fund during that fiscal
26        year exceed 115% of the  actual  expenditures  (excluding
27        permit  fee  reimbursements) from the CAA Permit Fund for
28        that fiscal year (including lapse period  spending),  the
29        excess   shall   be   reimbursed  to  the  permittees  in
30        proportion  to  their  original   fee   payments.    Such
31        reimbursements  shall be made during the next fiscal year
32        and may be made in the form  of  a  credit  against  that
33        fiscal year's permit fee.
34             c.  There  shall  be  created  a  CAA Fee Panel of 5
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -67-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        persons.  The Panel shall:
 2                  i.  If it deems necessary on an  annual  basis,
 3             render  advisory  opinions  to  the  Agency  and the
 4             General Assembly regarding the appropriate level  of
 5             Title V Clean Air Act fees for the next fiscal year.
 6             Such  advisory opinions shall be based on a study of
 7             the operations of the Agency and  any  other  entity
 8             requesting appropriations from the CAA Permit Fund.
 9             This  study  shall  recommend  changes  in  the  fee
10             structure, if warranted.  The study will be based on
11             the  ability  of  the  Agency  or  other  entity  to
12             effectively  utilize  the funds generated as well as
13             the entity's conformance  with  the  objectives  and
14             measurable  benchmarks  identified  by the Agency as
15             justification  for  the  prior  year's  fee.    Such
16             advisory   opinions   shall   be  submitted  to  the
17             appropriation committees no later than April 15th of
18             each year.
19                  ii.  Not be compensated for their services, but
20             shall receive reimbursement for their expenses.
21                  iii.  Be appointed as follows:   4  members  by
22             the  Director  of  the Agency from a list of no more
23             than 8  persons,  submitted  by  representatives  of
24             associations who represent facilities subject to the
25             provisions  of  this  subsection and the Director of
26             the Agency or designee.
27             d.  There is hereby created in the State Treasury  a
28        special  fund  to be known as the "CAA Permit Fund".  All
29        Funds collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection
30        shall be deposited into the Fund.  The  General  Assembly
31        shall appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and
32        to  the  Board  to carry out their obligations under this
33        Section.  The General Assembly may also authorize  monies
34        to be granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -68-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        and  local  agencies  which perform duties related to the
 2        CAAPP. Interest generated on the monies deposited in this
 3        Fund shall be returned to the Fund. The General  Assembly
 4        may  appropriate  up  to the sum of $25,000 to the Agency
 5        from the CAA Permit Fund for use by the Panel in carrying
 6        out its responsibilities under this subsection.
 7             e.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  adopt
 8        procedural   rules,   in  accordance  with  the  Illinois
 9        Administrative  Procedure  Act,  as  the   Agency   deems
10        necessary to implement this subsection.
11             f.  For   purposes  of  this  subsection,  the  term
12        "regulated air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to
13        it under subsection 1 of this Section but  shall  exclude
14        the following:
15                  i.  carbon monoxide;
16                  ii.  any  Class  I  or  II substance which is a
17             regulated air pollutant solely because it is  listed
18             pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act; and
19                  iii.  any  pollutant  that  is  a regulated air
20             pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard
21             or regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean  Air
22             Act  based  on  the  emissions allowed in the permit
23             effective in that calendar year,  at  the  time  the
24             applicable bill is generated; and
25                  iv.  during   the   years   1995  through  1999
26             inclusive, any emissions from affected  sources  for
27             acid deposition under Section 408(c)(4) of the Clean
28             Air Act.

29        19.  Air Toxics Provisions.
30             a.  In  the event that the USEPA fails to promulgate
31        in a timely manner a standard pursuant to Section  112(d)
32        of the Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority
33        to issue permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean
34        Air  Act  and  regulations  promulgated thereunder, which
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -69-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        contain emission limitations which are equivalent to  the
 2        emission  limitations  that would apply to a source if an
 3        emission standard had been promulgated in a timely manner
 4        by USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d).  Provided,  however,
 5        that  the  owner  or  operator of a source shall have the
 6        opportunity to submit to the Agency a  proposed  emission
 7        limitation  which  it  determines to be equivalent to the
 8        emission limitations that would apply to such  source  if
 9        an  emission  standard  had  been promulgated in a timely
10        manner by USEPA.  If the Agency refuses  to  include  the
11        emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator in
12        a CAAPP permit, the owner or operator  may  petition  the
13        Board   to  establish  whether  the  emission  limitation
14        proposal submitted by the owner or operator provides  for
15        emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission
16        limitations  that  would  apply  to  the  source  if  the
17        emission  standard  had  been  promulgated  by USEPA in a
18        timely manner.  The Board  shall  determine  whether  the
19        emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator or
20        an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
21        provides for the level of control required under  Section
22        112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall otherwise establish an
23        appropriate  emission limitation, pursuant to Section 112
24        of the Clean Air Act.
25             b.  Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a)
26        or (e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to
27        the Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and  the
28        Board  shall  render  its decision within 120 days of the
29        filing of the  petition.   Any  such  decision  shall  be
30        subject  to  review   pursuant to Section 41 of this Act.
31        Where USEPA promulgates an applicable  emission  standard
32        prior  to  the  issuance  of the CAAPP permit, the Agency
33        shall include in the  permit  the  promulgated  standard,
34        provided that the source shall have the compliance period
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -70-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        provided under Section 112(i) of the Clean Air Act. Where
 2        USEPA  promulgates  an  applicable standard subsequent to
 3        the issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall revise
 4        such  permit  upon  the  next  renewal  to  reflect   the
 5        promulgated standard, providing a reasonable time for the
 6        applicable  source  to  comply  with the standard, but no
 7        longer than 8 years after the date on which the source is
 8        first required to comply with  the  emissions  limitation
 9        established under this subsection.
10             c.  The Agency shall have the authority to implement
11        and   enforce  complete  or  partial  emission  standards
12        promulgated by USEPA  pursuant  to  Section  112(d),  and
13        standards  promulgated  by  USEPA  pursuant  to  Sections
14        112(f),  112(h),  112(m),  and  112(n),  and  may  accept
15        delegation  of  authority  from  USEPA  to  implement and
16        enforce  Section  112(l)   and   requirements   for   the
17        prevention  and detection of accidental releases pursuant
18        to Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.
19             d.  The Agency shall have  the  authority  to  issue
20        permits  pursuant  to  Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air
21        Act.
22             e.  The  Agency  has  the  authority  to   implement
23        Section  112(g)  of the Clean Air Act consistent with the
24        Clean  Air  Act  and  federal   regulations   promulgated
25        thereunder. If the Agency refuses to include the emission
26        limitations  proposed  in  an application submitted by an
27        owner or operator for a case-by-case  maximum  achievable
28        control  technology  (MACT)  determination,  the owner or
29        operator may petition the Board to determine whether  the
30        emission  limitation proposed by the owner or operator or
31        an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
32        provides for a level of control required by  Section  112
33        of  the  Clean  Air  Act,  or  to  otherwise establish an
34        appropriate emission limitation under Section 112 of  the

11        of  the  Program  responsible  for  providing  sufficient
12        communications  with   small   businesses   through   the

 5        21.  Temporary Sources.
 6             a.  The Agency may issue a single permit authorizing
 7        emissions from similar  operations  by  the  same  source
 8        owner or operator at multiple temporary locations, except
 9        for   sources   which   are  affected  sources  for  acid

28        subsection,  the Agency shall fully review the previously
29        submitted  CAAPP  permit  application  and  corresponding
30        reports subsequently submitted to determine  whether  the
31        source is in compliance with all applicable requirements.
32             c.  If  the Agency determines that the source is not
33        in compliance with all applicable requirements  it  shall
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -74-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1        revise the CAAPP permit as appropriate.

 8    under  subsection  (g)  of  this Section may be liable to the
 9    State of Illinois for punitive damages in an amount at  least
10    equal  to,  and  not more than 2 times, the costs incurred by
11    the State if such person failed without sufficient  cause  to
12    take  preventive  or  corrective  action  pursuant  to notice
13    issued under subsection (d) of this Section.
14        (i)  There shall be no liability under subsection (g)  of
15    this  Section for a person otherwise liable who can establish
16    by a preponderance of the evidence that the hazard created by
17    the tires was caused solely by:
18             (1)  an act of God;
19             (2)  an act of war; or
20             (3)  an act or omission of a third party other  than
21        an  employee  or agent, and other than a person whose act
22        or omission  occurs  in  connection  with  a  contractual
23        relationship with the person otherwise liable.
24        For   the   purposes  of  this  subsection,  "contractual
25    relationship"  includes,  but  is  not   limited   to,   land
26    contracts,  deeds and other instruments transferring title or
27    possession,  unless  the  real  property   upon   which   the
28    accumulation  is  located was acquired by the defendant after
29    the disposal or placement of used or waste tires on, in or at
30    the property and one or more of the  following  circumstances
31    is also established by a preponderance of the evidence:
32                  (A)  at  the  time  the  defendant acquired the
33             property, the defendant did  not  know  and  had  no
34             reason to know that any used or waste tires had been
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -79-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1             disposed of or placed on, in or at the property, and
 2             the defendant undertook, at the time of acquisition,
 3             all   appropriate   inquiries   into   the  previous
 4             ownership and uses of the property  consistent  with
 5             good  commercial  or customary practice in an effort
 6             to minimize liability;
 7                  (B)  the defendant is a government entity which
 8             acquired the property  by  escheat  or  through  any
 9             other   involuntary   transfer  or  acquisition,  or
10             through the exercise of eminent domain authority  by
11             purchase or condemnation; or
12                  (C)  the  defendant  acquired  the  property by
13             inheritance or bequest.
14        (j)  Nothing in this Section shall affect or  modify  the
15    obligations  or  liability  of  any  person  under  any other
16    provision of this Act, federal law, or State  law,  including
17    the  common  law,  for  injuries, damages or losses resulting
18    from the circumstances leading to Agency  action  under  this
19    Section.
20        (k)  The  costs  and damages provided for in this Section
21    may be imposed by the Board in an action brought  before  the
22    Board  in accordance with Title VIII of this Act, except that
23    subsection (c) of Section 33 of this Act shall not  apply  to
24    any such action.
25        (l)  The  Agency  shall,  when feasible, consult with the
26    Department of Public Health prior to  taking  any  action  to
27    remove  or treat an infested tire accumulation for control of
28    mosquitoes or other  disease  vectors.   The  Agency  may  by
29    contract  or  agreement secure the services of the Department
30    of Public Health, any local public health department, or  any
31    other  qualified  person  in treating any such infestation as
32    part of an emergency or preventive action.
33        (m)  Neither  the  State,  the  Agency,  the  Board,  the
34    Director, nor any State employee  shall  be  liable  for  any
 
HB3373 Engrossed            -80-              LRB9201352LDprB
 1    damage  or injury arising out of or resulting from any action
 2    taken under this Section.
