AI Summary

  • Amends the Illinois Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Act to add a new definition for "water treatment residuals," which includes biosolids, sludge, filter media, and other solids with technologically enhanced radium concentrations from treating water or sewage containing naturally occurring groundwater radium

  • Requires generators of low-level radioactive waste to register with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA-OHS) within 60 days of commencing generation, and brokers must register within 60 days of taking possession of waste

  • Mandates annual reports from registered generators detailing waste types, quantities produced, management methods, and feasibility of alternative treatment/storage/disposal options; brokers must report waste received, shipped, and destinations

  • Exempts two categories of generators from registration: those storing waste with radioactive material having a half-life under 120 days for decay-in-storage (after 10 half-lives), and generators of water treatment residuals with combined radium concentration of 200 picocuries per gram or less who have registered under the Agency's water treatment residuals program

  • Makes registration forms and annual reports available for public inspection under the Freedom of Information Act (changed from mandatory public availability to "may be made available")
