Public Act 100-0095 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning safety.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Solid Waste Planning and Recycling Act is | ||||
amended by adding Section 9.5 as follows:
| ||||
(415 ILCS 15/9.5 new) | ||||
Sec. 9.5. Regulation of certain pollution control | ||||
facilities. No provision of this Act shall be construed to | ||||
allow any county with a population of less than 2,000,000 | ||||
residents to adopt an ordinance or resolution, except an | ||||
ordinance or resolution adopting a county plan in accordance | ||||
with Sections 4 and 5 of this Act, or implementing a county | ||||
plan in accordance with Section 7 of this Act, that requires | ||||
the issuance of a permit, or that imposes regulations upon the | ||||
operations of a municipal solid waste landfill unit, sanitary | ||||
landfill, storage site, transfer station, or waste disposal | ||||
site, as long as the facility obtains appropriate permits from | ||||
the Agency in accordance with Section 39 of the Environmental | ||||
Protection Act. Nothing in this amendatory Act of the 100th | ||||
General Assembly shall be construed to diminish or impair any | ||||
authority conferred upon a county under the Environmental | ||||
Protection Act, including, but not limited to, subsection (r) | ||||
of Section 4 and Section 39.2 of the Environmental Protection |
Act. | ||
Nothing in this amendatory Act of the 100th General | ||
Assembly shall be construed to limit the authority of a county | ||
to prepare or adopt a county plan pursuant to and in accordance | ||
with Sections 4 and 5 of this Act, to implement a county plan | ||
in accordance with Section 7 of this Act, or to relieve a | ||
facility proposed for siting approval from demonstrating | ||
consistency with that plan as required by criterion (viii) of | ||
subsection (a) of Section 39.2 of the Environmental Protection | ||
Act. | ||
For the purposes of this Section, "municipal solid waste | ||
landfill unit", "sanitary landfill", "storage site", "transfer | ||
station", and "waste disposal site" have the meanings provided | ||
to those terms in the Environmental Protection Act.
| ||
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||
becoming law.
