The Environmental Assessment and Management (TEAM) Guide

Illinois Supplement Revised June 2000 Environmental assessments help determine compliance with current environmental regulations. The U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and Corps of Engi-neers (Civil Works) have adopted environmental compliance programs that identify compliance problems before they are cited as violations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Since 1984, the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Re-search Laboratory, in cooperation with numerous Department of Defense (DOD) components, has developed environmental compliance assessment checklist manuals. The Environ-mental Assessment and Management (TEAM) Guide was developed for use by all DOD components. Currently there are five participating DOD components: the Air Force, Air National Guard, Army, Civil Works, and DLA. These agencies have agreed to share the development and maintenance of this Guide.

The Guide combines Code of Federal Regulations and management practices into a series of checklists that show legal requirements and the specific operations or items to review. TEAM Guide is supplemented by DOD component- specific manuals detailing DOD component regulations and policies. The Illinois Supplement was developed to be used in conjunction with the TEAM Guide, using existing Illinois state environmental legislation and regulations as well as suggested management practices.

ILLINOIS SUPPLEMENT The Illinois Supplement to the U.S. TEAM Guide contains the protocols necessary for determining compliance with Illinois environmental regulations. This manual is a supplement to the U.S. TEAM Guide; the manual does not replace it. The following Illinois agencies issue regulations and have responsibility in the areas indicated.

• Illinois Environmental Protection Agency - The Agency collects and disseminates information, acquires tech-nical data, and conducts experiments, ascertains the quantity and nature of discharges from any contaminant source and data on those sources, and operates and arranges for the operation of devices for the monitoring of environmental quality.

• Pollution Control Board - The Board determines, defines and implements the environmental control standards of

the State of Illinois and may adopt rules and regulations consistent with those standards. The Board has authority to act for the State in regard to the adoption of standards for submission to the United States under any federal law respecting environmental protection; to conduct hearings upon complaints charging violations of environmental regulations, upon petitions for variances, upon petitions for review of the Agency's denial of a permit, upon other petitions for review of final determinations which involve a subject which the Board is authorized to regulate, and such other hearings. In connection with any such hearing the Board may subpoena and compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of evidence reasonably necessary to resolution of the matter under consideration. The Board may prescribe reasonable fees for required permits, though such fees in the aggregate may not exceed the total cost to the Agency for its inspection and permit systems.

• Hazardous Waste Advisory Council - The Council reviews implementation of the procedures for the siting of

new pollution control facilities; reviews the state of the art of alternative treatment methods of hazardous wastes including recycling, incineration, physical, chemical and biological treatment, methods to reduce the amount of wastes produced and any other alternative waste management technologies and studies ways to promote the use of these techniques; and reviews all existing State and federal laws pertaining to the treatment, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes and their enforcement. The Council annually reports its findings in these areas to the Governor and the General Assembly, and suggests administrative and legislative changes which it believes are necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare from hazardous wastes.

• Department of Agriculture Issues - the Department licenses and certifies individuals in the use of classified and

restricted use pesticides, and receives notification of pesticide incidents and misuse complaints.

• Emergency Management Agency (217/782-4694; 800/782-7860 all spills, 24 hours) - must be contacted immediately in the event of any unanticipated spill, whether under Title III or other state environmental laws.

• Department of Natural Resources (217/782-6302) - The Department is organized into the following divisions:

- Resource Conservation which oversees fisheries, wildlife, forestry, and natural heritage - Water Resources which issues permits for construction on lakes, streams, and waterways - Scientific Research and Analysis which conducts the water survey, natural history survey, and geological

survey - Energy and Environmental Assessment which issues permits for construction on state managed lands.

A facility may include, but is not limited to, one or more solid waste disposal units, buildings, treatment systems, processing and storage operations, and monitoring stations. As used in Part 807, facility means the same thing as “unit' (35 IAC 807.104).

• Field Capacity - that maximum moisture content of a waste, under field conditions of temperature and pressure,

above which moisture is released by gravity drainage (35 IAC 810.103). • Final Volume of Waste - the last quantity of waste received by the operator at the site. A quantity of waste is

assumed to be the final volume if the operator receives no additional waste within 30 days after receiving the quantity, unless the operator demonstrates that the operator expects additional waste. Waste arriving at the site for disposal in a manner which is not controlled by the operator does not affect the determination of when the final volume of waste was received by the operator (35 IAC 807.104).

Verify that, before a change-in-service, owners or operators empty and clean the tank by removing all liquid and accumulated sludge, and conduct a site assessment.

(NOTE: Continued use of a UST system to store a non-regulated substance (so that it is no longer classified as a UST system) is considered a change-in-service. However, a change-in-service may only occur during the first two years, commencing with the date of installation of the tank.)

(NOTE: A change-in-service also consists of a conversion of a petroleum UST to a hazardous substance UST and vice versa.)

Verify that a non-UST system tank (i.e., one which is used to store a non-regulated substance), is not converted to a UST system tank unless the tank has been re-certified and is in compliance with all applicable upgrade requirements for the new UST systems.

ST.95.2.IL. Owners/ operators must perform a site assessment for a change-in-service or removal of a UST system (41 IAC 170.640).

Verify that after removal or a change-in-service is completed, the owner or operator performs a site assessment by measuring for the presence of a release where contamination is most likely to be present at the UST site.

(NOTE: In selecting sample types, sample locations and measurement methods, the owner or operator must consider the method of removal, the nature of the stored substance, the type of backfill, the depth to groundwater and other factors appropriate for identifying the presence of a release.)

(NOTE: The requirements of this checklist item are satisfied if vapor monitoring or groundwater monitoring is operating at the time of removal and indicates no release has occurred.)

(NOTE: The Office of the State Fire Marshal provides no additional guidance to performing a site assessment. This is the responsibility of the owner or operator.)

Verify that during removal, the owner/operator or contractor:

- removes all petroleum or hazardous substances and all accumulated sludges from the tank and connecting lines

- disconnects piping at all tank openings - removes all sections of connecting lines which are not to be used further, and

caps or plugs all tank openings - removes tank from ground.

Verify that before removal (or at any time thereafter, as determined by the Office

of the State Fire Marshal), the tank is gas freed on the premises, or is transported to an area not accessible to the public and the gas freeing completed at that location.

(NOTE: In the event of a tank releasing or suspected of releasing a flammable or combustible liquid, the tank must be gas freed on the premises prior to removal from the excavation zone, and not gas freed elsewhere.)

(NOTE: The requirement for removal is subject to the following exceptions: - if the tank is placed in a “temporary out-of-service” status, upon termination

of such status, the tank shall be removed - if there is a “change-in-service” to a non-regulated substance during the first

12-mo period - a waiver to “abandoned-in-place,” is issued - USTs that have not been in operation at any time after 1 January 1974, may

not be required to be removed, unless the Office of the State Fire Marshal has determined that a release from the USTs poses a current or potential threat to human health and the environment

- heating oil USTs, for consumptive use on the premises where stored, do not have to be removed, unless the Office of the State Fire Marshal has determined that a release from the USTs poses a current or potential threat to human health and the environment).

Verify that, if a tank is to be disposed of as junk, it is retested for combustible or

flammable vapors, and if necessary, rendered gas free.

Verify that after removal and before releasing to junk dealer, a sufficient number of holes or openings (at least two percent of the total surface area of the tank) are made in it to render it inoperative for further use as a UST.

(NOTE: If the tank last contained lead gasoline, an unknown petroleum or a hazardous substance, it may only be scrapped as junk or re-certified.)



Illinois Supplement



ST.95.4.IL. UST systems closed prior to 1 October 1985 must provide documentation to the State Fire Marshal (41 IAC 170.670(a) through (c)).

Verify that owners of tanks outside the jurisdiction of the City of Chicago filled with inert material prior to 1 October 1985 provide documentation of fill material and date of fill, upon request by the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

(NOTE: The documentation shall be a receipt or a written statement from the contractor who did the fill, a statement from the inspector who inspected the tank, or a written statement from anyone designated by the State Fire Marshal or the Director of the Division of Petroleum and Chemical Safety. Tanks, inside the jurisdiction of the City of Chicago, which were abandoned-in-place, prior to 28 July 1989 (the date of repeal of the home rule by the City over USTs) in accordance with City laws, regulations or ordinances, need not be removed.)

13-1 Water Quality Management

SECTION 13

WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Illinois Supplement, June 2000 This section covers the Illinois requirements for Water Quality Management and is intended to supplement the U.S. TEAM Guide. Refer to the U.S. TEAM Guide and the DOD Component Supplements for Federal, DOD, and service-specific requirements.

Relation to Federal Regulations

Part 611 of Title 35 of the Illinois Administrative Code (35 IAC 611) satisfies the requirement of Section 17.5 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) [Chapter 415 Illinois Consolidated Statutes (ILCS) 5/17.5] that the Board adopt regulations which are identical in substance with Federal regulations promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection agency (USEPA) pursuant to Sections 1412(b), 1414(c), 1417(a) and 1445(a) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.). This Section establishes primary drinking water requirements (NPDWRs) pursuant to the SDWA, and also includes additional, related State requirements which are consistent with and more stringent than the USEPA regulations. The latter provisions are specifically marked as “additional State requirements.” They apply only to community water systems (CWSs).

• CT or CTcalc - is the product of residual disinfectant concentration (RDC or C) in mg/L determined before or at

the first customer, and the corresponding disinfectant contact time (T) in minutes. If a water system applies disinfectants at more than one point prior to the first customer, it will determine the CT of each disinfectant sequence before or at the first customer to determine the total percent inactivation or total inactivation ratio. In determining the total inactivation ratio, the supplier must determine the RDC of each disinfection sequence and corresponding contact time before any subsequent disinfection application points (see CT99.9) (35 IAC 611.101).

COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEMS

WQ.35. STANDARDS

WQ.35.1.IL. Community water system (CWS) suppliers in Illinois must meet addi-tional State requirements for MCLs for total trihalomethane (TTHM) and for specific organic chemicals (35 IAC 611.310(a) and (c)) [Revised June 2000].

Verify that CWSs do not exceed the following MCLs for the organic chemicals listed:

- Aldrin, 0.001 mg/L - DDT, 0.05 mg/L - Dieldrin, 0.001 mg/L - Heptachlor, 0.0001mg/L - Heptachlor epoxide, 0.0001mg/L - 2,4-D, 0.01 mg/L

(NOTE: Originally derived from 40 CFR 141.12(a) (1994), USEPA removed the last entry in this subsection and marked it reserved at 57 Fed. Reg. 31838 (July 17, 1992). USEPA added another listing of organic MCLs at 40 CFR 141.61 (1994). Heptachlor, Heptachlor epoxide, and 2,4-D are listed here and in the larger listing of organic MCLs. The heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, and 2,4-D MCLs in this checklist item are Illinois limitations that are more stringent than the federal requirements. However, detection of these contaminants or violation of their Federal MCLs imposes more stringent monitoring, reporting, and notice requirements.)

Verify that CWSs do not exceed the MCL for TTHM of 0.10 mg/L.

(NOTE: The MCL of 0.10 mg/L for TTHM applies to a community water system subject to filtration and disinfection requirements that serves 10,000 or more persons, until 31 December 2001.
