AI Summary

  • Amends the Environmental Protection Act to require the Pollution Control Board to conduct a regulatory proceeding to determine appropriate water quality and effluent standards for boron in Illinois.

  • Prohibits enforcement of Illinois's existing boron water quality standard of one milligram/liter (mg/l) unless and until the Board completes its regulatory proceeding and determines what boron standards, if any, are appropriate for the state.

  • Notes that the current boron standard was adopted before the federal Clean Water Act and has not been subject to federal adoption or recommendation since that time, making reconsideration necessary.
