Section 130. The Illinois Pesticide Act is amended by
changing Sections 19.3 and 22.2 as follows:
(415 ILCS 60/19.3)
Sec. 19.3. Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program.
(a) It is the policy of the State of Illinois that an
Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program be implemented
to reduce potential agrichemical pollution and minimize
environmental degradation risk potential at these sites. In
this Section, "agrichemical facility" means a site where
agrichemicals are stored or handled, or both, in preparation
for end use. "Agrichemical facility" does not include basic
manufacturing or central distribution sites utilized only for
wholesale purposes. As used in this Section, "agrichemical"
means pesticides or commercial fertilizers at an agrichemical
facility.
The program shall provide guidance for assessing the threat
of soil agrichemical contaminants to groundwater and
recommending which sites need to establish a voluntary
corrective action program.
The program shall establish appropriate site-specific soil
cleanup objectives, which shall be based on the potential for
the agrichemical contaminants to move from the soil to
groundwater and the potential of the specific soil agrichemical
contaminants to cause an exceedence of a Class I or Class III
groundwater quality standard or a health advisory level. The
Department shall use the information found and procedures
developed in the Agrichemical Facility Site Contamination
Study or other appropriate physical evidence to establish the
soil agrichemical contaminant levels of concern to groundwater
in the various hydrological settings to establish
site-specific cleanup objectives.
No remediation of a site may be recommended unless (i) the
agrichemical contamination level in the soil exceeds the
site-specific cleanup objectives or (ii) the agrichemical
contaminant level in the soil exceeds levels where physical
evidence and risk evaluation indicates probability of the site
causing an exceedence of a groundwater quality standard.
When a remediation plan must be carried out over a number
of years due to limited financial resources of the owner or
operator of the agrichemical facility, those soil agrichemical
contaminated areas that have the greatest potential to
adversely impact vulnerable Class I groundwater aquifers and
adjacent potable water wells shall receive the highest priority
rating and be remediated first.
(b) (Blank). The Agrichemical Facility Response Action
Program Board ("the Board") is created. The Board members shall
consist of the following:
(1) The Director or the Director's designee.
(2) One member who represents pesticide manufacturers.
(3) Two members who represent retail agrichemical
dealers.
(4) One member who represents agrichemical
distributors.
(5) One member who represents active farmers.
(6) One member at large.
The public members of the Board shall be appointed by the
Governor for terms of 2 years. Those persons on the Board who
represent pesticide manufacturers, agrichemical dealers,
agrichemical distributors, and farmers shall be selected from
recommendations made by the associations whose membership
reflects those specific areas of interest. The members of the
Board shall be appointed within 90 days after the effective
date of this amendatory Act of 1995. Vacancies on the Board
shall be filled within 30 days. The Board may fill any
membership position vacant for a period exceeding 30 days.
The members of the Board shall be paid no compensation, but
shall be reimbursed for their expenses incurred in performing
their duties. If a civil proceeding is commenced against a
Board member arising out of an act or omission occurring within
the scope of the Board member's performance of his or her
duties under this Section, the State, as provided by rule,
shall indemnify the Board member for any damages awarded and
court costs and attorney's fees assessed as part of a final and
unreversed judgement, or shall pay the judgment, unless the
court or jury finds that the conduct or inaction that gave rise
to the claim or cause of action was intentional, wilful or
wanton misconduct and was not intended to serve or benefit
interests of the State.
The chairperson of the Board shall be selected by the Board
from among the public members.
(c) (Blank). The Board has the authority to do the
following:
(1) Cooperate with the Department and review and
approve an agrichemical facility remediation program as

facility corrective action plan.
(3) Approve any changes to an agrichemical facility's
corrective action plan that may be necessary.
(4) Upon completion of the corrective action plan,
recommend to the Department that the site-specific cleanup
objectives have been met and that a notice of closure be
issued by the Department stating that no further remedial
action is required to remedy the past agrichemical
contamination.
(5) When a soil agrichemical contaminant assessment
confirms that remedial action is not required in accordance
with the Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program,
recommend that a notice of closure be issued by the
Department stating that no further remedial action is
required to remedy the past agrichemical contamination.
(6) Periodically review the Department's
administration of the Agrichemical Incident Response Trust
Fund and actions taken with respect to the Fund. The Board
shall also provide advice to the Interagency Committee on
Pesticides regarding the proper handling of agrichemical
incidents at agrichemical facilities in Illinois.
(d) The Director has the authority to do the following:
(1) When requested by the owner or operator of an
agrichemical facility, may investigate the agrichemical
facility site contamination.
(2) After completion of the investigation under item
subdivision (d)(1) of this subsection Section, recommend
to the owner or operator of an agrichemical facility that a
voluntary assessment be made of the soil agrichemical
contaminant when there is evidence that the evaluation of
risk indicates that groundwater could be adversely
impacted.
(3) Review and make recommendations on any corrective
action plan submitted by the owner or operator of an
agrichemical facility to the Board for final approval.
(4) On approval by the Director Board, issue an order
to the owner or operator of an agrichemical facility that
has filed a voluntary corrective action plan that the owner
or operator may proceed with that plan.
(5) Provide remedial project oversight and , monitor

concern and associated parameters; guidance on remediation
techniques, land application, and corrective action plans;
and other information or instructions that the Department
may find necessary.
(9) Coordinate preventive response actions at
agrichemical facilities pursuant to the Groundwater
Quality Standards adopted pursuant to Section 8 of the
Illinois Groundwater Protection Act to mitigate resource
groundwater impairment.
Upon completion of the corrective action plan and upon
recommendation of the Board, the Department shall issue a
notice of closure stating that site-specific cleanup
objectives have been met and no further remedial action is
required to remedy the past agrichemical contamination.
When a soil agrichemical contaminant assessment confirms
that remedial action is not required in accordance with the
Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program and upon the
recommendation of the Board, a notice of closure shall be
issued by the Department stating that no further remedial
action is required to remedy the past agrichemical
contamination.
(e) Upon receipt of notification of an agrichemical
contaminant in groundwater pursuant to the Groundwater Quality
Standards, the Department shall evaluate the severity of the
agrichemical contamination and shall submit to the
Environmental Protection Agency an informational notice
characterizing it as follows:
(1) An agrichemical contaminant in Class I or Class III
groundwater has exceeded the levels of a standard adopted
pursuant to the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act or a
health advisory established by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency or the United States Environmental
Protection Agency; or
(2) An agrichemical has been detected at a level that
requires preventive notification pursuant to a standard
adopted pursuant to the Illinois Groundwater Protection
Act.
(f) When agrichemical contamination is characterized as in
subsection subdivision (e)(1) of this Section, a facility may
elect to participate in the Agrichemical Facility Response
Action Program. In these instances, the scope of the corrective
action plans developed, approved, and completed under this
program shall be limited to the soil agrichemical contamination
present at the site unless implementation of the plan is
coordinated with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
as follows:

years after the implementation of the corrective action
plan to allow for groundwater impairment mitigation
results.
(5) (Blank). The Department, in cooperation with the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, shall recommend
a proposed corrective action plan to the Board for final
approval to proceed with remediation. The recommendation
shall be based on the joint review conducted under
subdivision (f)(2) of this Section and the status of any
endorsement issued under subdivision (f)(3) of this
Section.
(6) The Department, in cooperation with the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency, shall provide remedial
project oversight, monitor remedial work progress, and
report to the Board on the status of the remediation
project.
(7) The Department shall, upon completion of the
corrective action plan and recommendation of the Board,
issue a notice of closure stating that no further remedial
action is required to remedy the past agrichemical
contamination.
(g) When an owner or operator of an agrichemical facility
initiates a soil contamination assessment on the owner's or
operator's own volition and independent of any requirement
under this Section 19.3, information contained in that
assessment may be held as confidential information by the owner
or operator of the facility.
