1 | AN ACT concerning safety.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by | ||||||
5 | changing Sections 55, 55.1, 55.2, and 55.6 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (415 ILCS 5/55) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1055)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 55. Prohibited activities.
| ||||||
8 | (a) No person shall:
| ||||||
9 | (1) Cause or allow the open dumping of any used or | ||||||
10 | waste tire.
| ||||||
11 | (2) Cause or allow the open burning of any used or | ||||||
12 | waste tire.
| ||||||
13 | (3) Except at a tire storage site which contains more | ||||||
14 | than 50 used
tires, cause or allow the storage of any used | ||||||
15 | tire unless the tire is
altered, reprocessed, converted, | ||||||
16 | covered, or otherwise prevented from
accumulating water.
| ||||||
17 | (4) Cause or allow the operation of a tire storage site | ||||||
18 | except in
compliance with Board regulations.
| ||||||
19 | (5) Abandon, dump or dispose of any used or waste tire | ||||||
20 | on private or
public property, except in a sanitary | ||||||
21 | landfill approved by the Agency
pursuant to regulations | ||||||
22 | adopted by the Board.
| ||||||
23 | (6) Fail to submit required reports, tire removal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | agreements,
or Board regulations.
| ||||||
2 | (b) (Blank.)
| ||||||
3 | (b-1) Beginning January 1, 1995,
no person shall knowingly | ||||||
4 | mix any used or waste tire, either whole or cut, with
municipal | ||||||
5 | waste, and no owner or operator of a sanitary landfill shall | ||||||
6 | accept
any used or waste tire for final disposal; except that | ||||||
7 | used or waste tires,
when separated from other waste, may be | ||||||
8 | accepted if: (1) the sanitary landfill
provides and maintains a | ||||||
9 | means for shredding, slitting, or chopping whole tires
and so | ||||||
10 | treats whole tires and, if approved by the Agency in a permit | ||||||
11 | issued
under this Act, uses the used or waste tires for | ||||||
12 | alternative uses, which may
include on-site practices such as | ||||||
13 | lining of roadways with tire scraps,
alternative daily cover, | ||||||
14 | or use in a leachate collection system or (2) the
sanitary | ||||||
15 | landfill, by its notification to the Illinois Industrial | ||||||
16 | Materials
Exchange Service, makes available the used or waste | ||||||
17 | tire to an appropriate
facility for reuse, reprocessing, or | ||||||
18 | converting, including use as an alternate
energy fuel. If, | ||||||
19 | within 30 days after notification to the Illinois Industrial
| ||||||
20 | Materials Exchange Service of the availability of waste tires, | ||||||
21 | no specific
request for the used or waste tires is received by | ||||||
22 | the sanitary landfill, and
the sanitary landfill determines it | ||||||
23 | has no alternative use for those used or
waste tires, the | ||||||
24 | sanitary landfill may dispose of slit, chopped, or
shredded | ||||||
25 | used or waste tires in the sanitary landfill.
In the event the | ||||||
26 | physical condition of a used or waste tire makes shredding,
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | slitting, chopping, reuse, reprocessing, or other alternative | ||||||
2 | use of the used
or waste tire impractical or infeasible, then | ||||||
3 | the sanitary landfill, after
authorization by the Agency, may | ||||||
4 | accept the used or waste tire for disposal.
| ||||||
5 | Sanitary landfills and facilities for reuse, reprocessing, | ||||||
6 | or converting,
including use as alternative fuel, shall (i) | ||||||
7 | notify the Illinois Industrial
Materials Exchange Service of | ||||||
8 | the availability of and demand for used or waste
tires and (ii) | ||||||
9 | consult with the Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
10 | Opportunity
regarding the status of marketing of waste tires to | ||||||
11 | facilities for reuse.
| ||||||
12 | (c) Any person who sells new or used
tires at retail or | ||||||
13 | operates a tire storage
site or a tire disposal site which | ||||||
14 | contains more than 50 used or waste
tires shall give notice of | ||||||
15 | such activity to the Agency. Any person
engaging in such | ||||||
16 | activity for the first time after January 1, 1990, shall
give | ||||||
17 | notice to the Agency within 30 days after the date of | ||||||
18 | commencement of
the activity. The form of such notice shall be | ||||||

24 | tires (storage,
disposal, conversion or processing); and
| ||||||
25 | (4) the number of used and waste tires present at the | ||||||
26 | location.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d) Beginning January 1, 1992, no person shall cause or | ||||||
2 | allow the
operation of:
| ||||||
3 | (1) a tire storage site which contains more than 50 | ||||||
4 | used tires,

5 | 1992 (or the January 1
following commencement of operation, | ||||||
6 | whichever is later) and January 1 of
each year thereafter, | ||||||
7 | (i) registers the site with the Agency , except that the | ||||||
8 | registration requirement in this item (i) does not apply in | ||||||

11 | the site complies with any applicable
standards adopted by | ||||||
12 | the Board pursuant to Section 55.2, (iii) reports to
the | ||||||
13 | Agency the number of tires accumulated, the status of | ||||||
14 | vector controls,
and the actions taken to handle and | ||||||
15 | process the tires, and (iv) pays the
fee required under | ||||||
16 | subsection (b) of Section 55.6; or

18 | (i) has
received approval from the Agency after filing a | ||||||
19 | tire removal agreement
