PREFACE
This document has been produced in compliance with Section 110(h) of
the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1977, which mandates periodic publication
of State Implementation Plan (SIP) requirements. The first section of the
document comprises the Federally approved SIP regulations. It consists of
the EPA approved State and/or local air pollution-control regulations cited
by reference in the Federal Register; all regulations Federally promulgated
as of August 1, 1981 have been included.
The present compilation constitutes an update of a previous documentation
of regulations as of July 1, 1979.* State and/or local air quality regulations
which have not been Federally approved as of August 1, 1981 are not included.
c, However, any omissions of regulations from this document in no way affects
the ability of the respective Federal, State or local agencies to enforce
v' such regulations.
•\
^ This document is not intended to provide a tool for determining the
enforceability of any given regulation. Rather, it is intended to provide
a comprehensive compilation of those regulations which are incorporated by
reference into Title 40, Part 52, of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
The exclusion of a Federally approved regulation from this document does not
diminish the enforceability of the regulation. Similarly, the inclusion of
a given regulation in this document does not, in itself, render the regulation
enforceable by either the State or EPA.
The regulations have been organized in this document according to the
official State/local agency format. However, since State air quality reg-
ulations vary widely in their organization, content, and language, a stan-
dardized subject index has been added. The index listings consist of both
pollutant and activity oriented categories to facilitate usage. For example,
regulations which apply to copper smelters may be found under sulfur com-
pounds (50.2), particulate matter process weight (50.1.1), or copper smelters
(51.15). Federal regulations pertaining to a given State are not included
herein but can be found under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations. Part 52.
'x^
Additionally, a summary sheet of the regulatory revisions is included to
••i. provide a quick historical assessment of the changes. These summary sheets
v- contain the date of submittal to EPA of each revision and the Federal
.-,, Register publication date on which the revision was approved by EPA. A
*r:- brief description of the regulation which was submitted is also included.
c>o
In accordance with the Act, the second part of the document contains
non-regulatory SIP revisions approved by EPA up to August 1, 1981. All
approved non-regulatory revisions listed under Identification of Plan in the
CFR are included except notices or certifications of public hearings, and
technical support data. Non-regulatory submittals which have only received
EPA approval on selected elements are included in their entirety with an
accompanying indication of the status of Federal actions on the non-approved
elements. The non-regulatory revisions have been organized in this document
* Regulations and Non-Regulatory Revisions to State Implementation Plan: Illinois,
EPA-450/2-80-020, prepared under Contract 68-02-3388, July 31, 1980.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
Chapter 2: AIR POLLUTION
PART I: GENERAL PROVISIONS
Except as hereinafter stated and unless a different meaning of a term is
clear from its context, the definitions of terms used in this Chapter
shall be the same as those used in the Environmental Proctection Act.
All terms defined in Part 2 of this Chapter which appear in Part I of
this Chapter have the definitions specified by Rule 201 of Part 2 of
this Chapter.
Rule 101: DEFINITIONS
1. Air Contaminant
Any solid, liquid, or gaseous matter, any odor, or any form of
energy, that is capable of being released into the atmosphere
from an emission source.
2. Air Pollution Control Equipment
Any equipment of facility of a type intended to eliminate, pre-
vent, reduce or control the emission of specified air contami-
nants to the atmosphere.
3. Air Pollution
The presence in the atmosphere of one or more air contaminants
in sufficient quantities and of such characteristics and dura-
tion as to be injurious to human, plant, or animal life, to
health, or to property, or to unreasonably interfere with the
enjoyment of life or property.
4. Ambient Air
That portion of the atmosphere external to buildings compromising
emission sources.
5. Ambient Air Quality Standard
Those standards promulgated from time to time by the Board
pursuant to the authority contained in the Act, or by the United
-1-
-------
States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to authority
contained in Public Law 91-604, as amended from time to time.
.6. Commence
The act of entering into a binding agreement or contractual
obligation to undertake and complete, within a reasonable
time, a continuous program of construction or modification.
7. Construction
Commencement of on-site fabrication, erection or installa-
tion of an emission source or of air pollution control equip-
ment.
8. Emission Source
Any equipment or facility of a type capable of emitting speci-
fied air contaminants to the atmosphere.
9. Existing Air Pollution Control Equipment
Any air pollution control equipment, the construction or
modification of which has commenced prior to the effective
date of this Chapter.
10. Existing Emission Source
Any emission source, the construction or modification of
which has commenced prior to the effective date of this
Chapter.
11. Modification
Any physical change in, or change in the method of operation
of, an emission source or of air pollution control equipment
which increases the amount of any specified air contaminant
emitted by such source or equipment or which results in the
emission of any specified air contaminant not previously
emitted. It shall be presumed that an increase in the use
of raw materials, the time of operation, or the rate of pro-
duction will change the amount of any specified air contam-
inant emitted. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
definition, for purposes of permits issued prusuant to Rule
103, the Agency may specify conditions under which an emis-
sion source or air pollution control equipment mya be oper-
ated without causing a modification as herein defined, and
normal cyclical variations, before the date operating per-
mits are required, shall not be considered modifications.
-2-
-------
12. New Air Pollution Control Equipment
Any air pollution control equipment, the construction or
modification of which is commenced on or after the effective
date of this Chapter.
13. New Emission Source
Any emission source, the construction or modification of
which is commenced on or after the effective date of this
Chapter.
14. Owner or Operator
Any person who owns, leases, controls or supervises an
emission source or air pollution control equipment.
15. Person
Any individual, corporation, partnership, firm, association,
trust, estate, public or private institution, group, agency,
political subdivision of this State, any other State or
political subdivision or agency thereof or any legal suc-
seccor, representative, agent or agency of the foregoing.

Industrial Classification Manual (1967), as revised from
time to time.
Rule 102: PROHIBITION OF AIR POLLUTION
No person shall cause or threaten or allow the discharge or emission
of any contaminant into the environment in any State so as, either
alone or in combination with contaminants from other sources, to cause
or tend to cause air pollution in Illinois, or so as to violate the
provisions of this Chapter, or so as to prevent the attainment or
maintenance of any applicable ambient air quality standard.

Rule 103: PERMITS ' ' • • -' . . -. . •
a. Construction Permits
1. Prohibition
No person shall cause or allow the construction of any
new emission source or any new air pollution control
equipment, or cause or allow the modification of any
existing emission source of air pollution control equip-
ment, without first obtaining a Construction Permit from
the Agency, except as provided in paragraph (i) of this
Rule 103.
2. Application
An application for a Construction Permit shall contain,
as a minimum, the following data and information: the
nature of the emission source and air pollution control
equipment, including the expected life and deteriora-
tion rate; information concerning processes to which the
emission source or air pollution control equipment is
related; the quantities and types of raw materials to
be used in the emission source or air pollution control
equipment; the nature, specific sources, and quantities
of uncontrolled and con-trolled air contaminant emissions
at the facility which includes the emission source or
air pollution control equipment; the type, size,
efficiency and specifications (including engineering
drawings, plans and specifications certified to by a
registered Illinois professional engineer) of the pro-
posed emission source or air pollution control equip-
ment; maps, statistics, and otner data sufficient reason-
ably to describe the location of the emission source
or air pollution control equipment. The Agency may
waive the submission by the applicant of such engineer-
ing drawings, plans, specifications, or such other por-
tions of the above data or information as it shall
deem inappropriate or unnecessary to the Construction
Permit application, provided that any such waiver by
the Agency shall be given in writing to the applicant.
The Agency may adopt procedures which require data and
information in addition to and in amplification of the
matters specified in the first sentence of this paragraph
(a) (2), which are reasonably designed to determine
compliance with the Act, this Chapter, and ambient air
quality standards, and which set forth the format by
-4-
-------
which all data and information shall be submitted. Such
procedures and formats, and revisions thereto, shall not
become effective until filed with the Index Division of
the Office of the Secretary of State as required by
"An Act concerning administrative rules," approved June
14, 1951, as amended.
3. An application shall not be deemed to be filed until the
applicant has submitted all information and completed
all application forms required by paragraph (a) (2) of
this Rule 103 and procedures adopted and effective
pursuant thereto. Provided, however, that if the Agency
fails to notify the applicant within 30 days after the
filing of a purported application that the application
is incomplete and of the reasons the Agency deems it in-

fied air contaminant emissions, as calculated on the basis of stand-
ard emission factors or other factors generally accepted as true by
those persons engaged in the field of air pollution control, exceed
the limitations prescribed by this Chapter shall constitute adequate
proof of a violation, in the absence of a showing that actual
emissions are in compliance.
Rule 109: CIRCUMVENTION
Except as provided in paragraphs 203 (g) (3), 204 (d), and 204 (e) of
Part 2 of this Chapter, and except as further provided by Rule 110 of
this Chapter, no person shall cause or allow the construction or
operation of any device or any means, including the creation or use
of any corporations or other business entities having interlocking
directorships or substantially identical ownerships which, without
resulting in a reduction in the total amount of any air contaminant
emitted, conceals, dilutes or permits air contaminant emissions which
would otherwise violate these regulations.
Rule 110: DESIGN OF EFFLUENT EXHAUST SYSTEM
No person shall cause or allow the operation of an emission source or
of air pollution control equipment without providing one or more
stacks or vents that are designed to prevent the concentration of any
air contaminant from:
1. Exceeding any applicable ambient air quality standard, either
alone or in combination with air contaminants from other
sources; or,
2. Causing or tending to cause air pollution, either alone or
in combination with air contaminats from other sources; or,
3. Exceeding the emission standards and limitations of Part 2
of this Chapter.

-------
Exception: This Rule 110 shall not apply to emission sources, such
as stock piles of particulate matter which, because of
the disperse nature of such emission sources, cannot
reasonably be expected to be emitted through a stack.
Rule 111: BURDEN OF PERSUASION REGARDING EXCEPTIONS
In any proceeding pursuant to this Chapter, if an exception stated
in this Chapter would limit an obligation, limit a liability, or
eliminate either an obligation or a liability, the person who would
benefit from the application of the exception shall have the burden
of persuasion that the exception applies and that the terms of the
exception have been met.
Rule 112: ANNUAL REPORT
The Agency shall annually prepare and submit to the Board an Air Con-
taminant Emission Report which lists the emission sources in the
State for which an operating permit is required under Rule 103,
describes the type, quantity and concentrations of the various speci-
fied contaminats being emitted, and describes the existing and planned
controls and the scheduled dates for completion of improvements.
Rule 113: SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these rules or regulations is adjudged invalid,
or if the application thereof to any person or in any circumstance
is adjudged invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity
of this Chapter as a whole or of any part, sub-part, sentence or
clause thereof not adjudged invalid.
Rule 114: REPEALER
Each provision of the Rules and Regulations Governing the Control
of Air Pollution, as amended August 19, 1969, applying to an emission
source shall remain in full force and effect unless and until such
source is required to comply with a corresponding provision of this
Chapter.

that for purposes of this calculation the value used for
such stack height shall not exceed good engineering practice
as defined by Section 123 of the Clean Air Act and Regulations
promulgated thereunder, unless the owner or operator of the
source demonstrates to the Agency that a greater height is
necessary to prevent downwash or fumigation conditions.
T (Degrees Rankine) = Exit temperature of stack gases from each

4.2 Source
A source is any structure, building, facility, or installation
(or combination thereof) which is located on one or more
contiguous or adjacent properties and which is owned or
operated by the same persons (or persons under corrmon
control). A source may be composed of one or more air
contaminant emitting operations or items of equipment.
4.3 New Source
A new source is a source the construction of which is commenced
on or after the effective date of these rules.
4.4 Modified Source
The modified source is that part of the equipment or operations
at a source which has undergone modification since the
effectiveness of this definition or the date the last
construction permit was issued pursuant to section 5.1(a) or
6.1 of these rules, whichever is later.
4.5 Modification
A modification is 1) any addition or reconstruction of
equipment or operations at a source, or
2) any physical change to, or any change in the running or
functioning of a particular item of equipment or operation at a
source which increases the actual or uncontrolled emission rats
of any air contaminant (regardless of any emission reductions
achieved elsewhere at the source).
The following activities are specifically not considered tc be
modifications, provided that they do not interfere with
reasonable further progress toward dccdinment of air quality
standards:

4.8 Reasonable Further Progress
'Reasonable further progress means annual incremental reductions
in the emissions of an applicable air contaminant sufficient to
provide for attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards as expeditiously as praccicaole. ' In zha case of the
National Primary Ambient Air Quality Standards attainment
shall not be later than either December 31, 1932 or
4.9 Major Source
A major source is a source which has or will have uncontrolled
emissions of particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen
oxides, organic material, or carbon monoxide equal to or
greater than 100 tons per year and allowable emissions of the
air contaminant equal to or greater than 50 tons per year or
1000 pounds per day or 100 pounds per hour.
The 1000 pounds per day and 100 pounds per hour criteria apply
only if a National Ambient Mr Quality Standard exists for the
air contaminant for 24 hours, and less than 24 hours
respectively.
4.10 Uncontrolled Emissions
Uncontrolled emissions are the greatest pollutant emissions
from a source, operating with normal procedures without air
pollution control equipment. Annual uncontrolled emissions ara
determined from the maximum hourly capacity of the equipment or
operations at a source and continuous functioning through a
year's time, unless the equipment or the operations, or the
hours of functioning are limited by enforceable permit
conditions.
Enforceable permit conditions which limit hourly capacity, type
or amount of material processed, fuel, manner of working, etc.,
or hours of functioning shall be used in determining the
uncontrolled emissions from a source when an applicant requests
that such conditions be placed upon a permit to reduce the
uncontrolled emissions from a source.
Notwithstanding the above, where it is improper to characterize
equipment or operations with an hourly emission rate, annual
uncontrolled emissions shall be determined from the T.aximun
annual rated caoacity of the equipment or operations, unless
limited by enforceable permit conditions.
-153-
-------
Uncontrolled emissions are determined from stack test data on
similar equipment or using standard air pollution control
practices or reference materials, e.g. Compilation of Air
Pollutant Emission Factors, United States environmental .
Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, A.P. 42. Use of
nonstandard techniques to determine uncontrolled emissions must
be approved by the Agency. Use of nonstandard' techniques to
determine uncontrolled emissions shall be acceptable upon a
demonstration by the applicant of their scientific and
engineering validity.
Air pollution control equipment is considered to be equipment
which, aside from air pollution control laws and regulations,
is not vital to the production of the normal product of the
source or its normal operation.
4.11 Allowable Emissions
Allowable emissions are the pollutant emissions for which a
source'is- issued a permit(s). Allowable emissions are
determined from the most stringent of the following at the
maximum hourly capacity of the'equipment or operation:
1) the applicable New Source Performance Standard or
National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air
Pollutants,
2) the applicable Illinois Pollution Control Board
emission standard, or
3) the emission rate specified by a permit condition,
and from the functioning of the equipment or operations through
the applicable time period, i.e. a year (8760 hours), a day (24
hours), or one hour.
Enforceable permit conditions which limit the hours of
functioning shall be used in determining the allowable
emissions from a source, when an applicant requests that permit

7.0 Geographical Applicability And Effective Dates
The applicability of these rules to a particular new or modified
source is dependent upon the proposed geographic location of the
source, in either 1) a nonattainment area, 2) an unclassified area,

These rules shall not be applicable to a new or modified source if
the construction permit application for tha source, upon which the
permit is issued, is received prior to the effective data of thes

Applicants may conduct such studies on their own
initiative, or the Agency may conduct such studies if
performance of such studies is part of the Agency's work
plan for further ambient air modeling for the pollutant
involved for that area.
(e) Areas designated as unclassified or attainment, when an
applicant requests that a source be made subject to these
rules, these rules shall become effective for such source
on the date the Agency finds that air quality standards in
the area might be violated with the construction of such
source. (An applicant might make this request if it is
felt that ambient air monitoring required by the
regulations for Prevention of Significant Deterioration of
Air Quality would lead to a redesignation of an area as
nonattairraent.)
8.0 Special Conditions for Issuance of Permits to New or Modified
Sources of Organic Material or Carbon Monoxide Emissions
A source of carbon monoxide emissions subject to the requirement of
Section 5.1(a) or a source of organic material emissions subject to
the requirements of Section 6.1 must fulfill the requirements for
" analysis of alternatives pursuant to Section 172(b)(ll)(A) of the
Clean Air Act as amended (42 U.S.C. 74t31 et seq., as amended,
August 7, 1977).
Section 172(b)(ll)(A) of the Clean Air Act requires that such a •
permit application include " . . .an analysis of alternative sites,
sizes, production processes, and environmental control techniques
for such proposed source which demonstrates that benefits of the
proposed source significantly outweigh the environmental and social
costs imposed as a result of its location, construction, or
modification."
9.0 Procedures for Determination of Lowest Achievable Emissions Rate
(LAER)
LAER and the technology associated with IAEP, shall be based en

A multi-phase project is one in which individual phases of
continuous on-site construction are separated by prolonced periods
during which construction does not take place. For multi-ph^se
projects, separate construction permits shall be required for phased
equipment construction for the purposes of determining LAER if the
Agency determines that LAER technology may develop between phases

that in preparing such a demonstration an applicant "review t-
rol lowing i terns:
1) the LAER Clearinghouse, as operated by the USEPA:
1511^ Jechnicai, works concerning air pollution emission
equipment, operations and control technology
-161-
-------
3) the Agency files for plants in Illinois;
4) information from pollution control agencies regulating areas in
Illinois or elsewhere where the equipment under consideration
is in use;
5) current air pollution control literature;
6) information from persons currently operating the equipment _
under consideration;
7) information published by control equipment suppliers and other
similar manufacturers; and
8) specific observations of the operation of equipment, similar to
the equipment under consideration, in Illinois or elsewhere.
The Agency will consider information from the above resources in
determining possible emission limitation which may constitute LAER,
making determinations as to emission limitations being achievable or
having been achieved in practice and reviewing LAER as determined by
a permit applicant.
When determining whether a particular emission limitation is
achievable or has been achieved in practice, the following issues
S-hall be considered, to the extent allowed by the Clean Air Act and
USEPA regulations: cost, energy requirements, health environmental
impacts, adequacy of the demonstration of performance in practice,
and similarities of the proposed technology to demonstrated
technology achieving an emission limitation in terms of gas stream,
scale, economics, etc. These considerations do not necessarily
prevent a requirement that technology be transferred from one type
of equipment or operation to another, or innovative technology be
developed to attain a particular emission limitation.
When construction of equipment or an operation has legally begun
prior to the applicability of a LAER requirement (and~LAER becomes
applicable due to a modification or incremental growth), or when
equipment may be connected to an existing control system, the stage
of construction and the feasibility of further reductions in
emissions shall be considered in determining LAER. In such
instances incremental improvement in overall efficiency of the
existing control system may be equivalent to the achievement of LAER
by a particular item of equipment or operation, based uoon
consideration of the relevant issues.

14.0 Temporary Emission Sources
Temporary emission sources, such as pilot plants and construction
activity, and temporary operation of portable emission sources,
e.g., concrete batch plants and asphalt plants, are not subject to
emission offset or air quality improvement provisions of these
rules. (Such sources are subject to the other provisions of these
rules.) Generally for the operation of a source to be considered
temporary, the emissions must occur for less than two years. A
source with emissions for a longer period of time will be dealt with
on a case-by-case basis by the Agency for determining whether such
source may be considered temporary.
The Agency shall determine that a source is temporary based upon
limitations of materials, terms of relevant contracts, experimental
or noncommercial nature of the project, its dependence upon other
-activities and any other factors unique to the source or site.

5.3-3 Methods of Enforcement
a. Inspection
The Director of the Bureau shall provide for preliminary,
final, and annual inspections of all equipment pertain-
ing to air pollution.
1. Preliminary Inspection
The director shall conduct preliminary inspections
from time to time during construction of the work
for which he has issued an installation permit;
and he shall maintain a record of all such examina-
tions and inspections and of all violations of
this ordinance. The holder of the permit shall be
notified of any violations found.
2. Final Inspection
Upon completion of the equipment for which an in-
stallation permit was issued, and before issuance
of the operating permit required in section 5.2,
a final inspection shall be made and any violations
of the approved plans and installation permit, if
any, shall be noted and the holder of the permit
shall be notified of the discrepancies. All vio-
lations shall be corrected before issuance of the
operating permit.
3. Annual Inspection
An annual inspection of all fuel-burning and com-
bustion equipment exceeding 10 million (10,000,000)
BTU input per hour, all incinerators with a capacity
in excess of 500 pounds per hour, and all process
equipment or devices under the jurisdiction of this.
-186-
-------
ordinance, whether or not a previous operating
permit has been issued by the Director, shall be
made to see that such equipment and plant can be
operated within the provisions of the ordinance
Upon notice that the equipment has been found to
comply with the provisions of the ordinance, and
after payment of the prescribed fee, the Director
shall issue a certificate of operation, which
shall be posted in a conspicuous place within the
plant. If, at the time of the annual inspection,
it is found that the equipment is in such condition
that it cannot be operated within the provisions
of the ordinance, the Director shall give notice
in writing to the person owning, operating, or in
charge of such equipment of the defects found and
order to correct, repair, or replace the defective
equipment. Failure to comply with this order
within 30 days from its date shall be a violation
of this section and the Director is hereby authorized
to seal the equipment. No person shall violate the
seal on any equipment that has been sealed at the
direction of the Director of the Bureau unless
authorized by him in writing to do so.
b. Sealing of Equipment
1. Citation, Hearing and Sealing
(a) After any person has been previously
notified of three (3) or more violations
of this ordinance within any consecutive
12 month period in respect to the emission
of smoke, particulate, or other matter by
the same piece of equipment in excess of
the emission limitations herein provided
or in respect to violations of other re-
quirements provided in this ordinance,
such a person shall be notified in writing
to show cause before the Director on a
day certain, not less than 20 days from
date of service of such notice, why the
equipment or process causing such viola-
tions should not be sealed. This last
notice herein provided for may be aiven by
mail directed to the last known address
of the person to be notified, or if such
person or his whereabouts is unknown, then
by posting a notice on or near the premises
- -187-
-------
at which the violations shall have
occured. Upon the date specified in the
notice such person may appear at such
hearing in person or by representative,
with or without counsel. If such person
fails to appear at such hearing or if upon
such hearing the Director shall find and
determine that the violations are due to
defective equipment or equipment which is
incapable of being operated with the maxi-
mum emission limitations established by
or under this ordinance, or that corrective
measures previously ordered by the Director
have not been employed to eliminate the
causes producing the violations, he may
enter an order revoking any certificate
or permit outstanding for such equipment
or process and directing that the same be
sealed by an inspector or other authorized
agent of the Director. In making the
finding and determination hereinabove re-
ferred to, the Director shall, in the case
of smoke density or opacity measurements,
take into consideration whether the equip-
ment is capable of being operated within
the particulate matter limitations pro-
vided in Table 6 of this ordinance.
(b) Upon notice and hearing, if notice and
hearing has not previously been provided,
the Director may order that the use of any
fuel-burning, combustion, or process equip-
ment or device shall be discontinued and
may seal such equipment or process:
(i) When a certificate of operation is
refused in the case of any original,
annual, or subsequent inspection,
because the person required to pro-
cure such certificate has not com-
plied with the provisions of this
ordinance;
(ii) In the case of movable equipment, or
portable boilers, or vehicles, when
immediate correction of a condition
causing a violation of this ordinance
-188-
-------
is not made by the operator of such
equipment, portable boiler, or vehicle
when ordered to do so by the Director
or his authorized representative.
2. Breaking of the Seal
Whenever, in connection with the enforcement of this
ordinance, any fuel-burning, combustion or p?ocesS
equipment or device, or any plant, building,
structure, premises, portable boiler, or vehicle
has been sealed at the direction of the olrecto?'
the seal shall not be broken or removed except on
