This economic-impact study assesses the costs and benefits associated with amendments to existing state air-pollution-control regulations Parts 211 and 215, as proposed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). Three proposals have been presented to the Illinois Pollution Control Board: an original and an alternative proposal presented by IEPA and a modified version of IEPA's alternative proposal submitted by the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce Environmental Regulatory Group (ERG). The IEPA has proposed the following control requirements: (1) emission capture and control with overall reduction in VOM emissions of at least 81%; or (2) for coating lines, emissions of VOM not to exceed 3.5 lb/gal of coating material; or (3) an adjusted RACT limit based on an economic justification submitted by the facility. The proposed rules would apply in the major urban areas of Chicago and St. Louis.
