The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) submitted amended proposed revisions to Rules 101, 103, and 105 of Chapter 2, Air Pollution Control Regulations, to the Illinois Pollution Control Board (PCB) on March 19, 1979. The Illinois State Chamber of Commerce submitted an alternative proposal on March 23, 1979. The PCB issued an interim order to amend these rules on March 29, 1979. The analysis reported in this document focuses on Rule 105(a)(3) as proposed by the IEPA and the Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the analysis is to satisfy the economic impact statement requirements of Illinois Public Act 79-790. The control strategies considered by the PCB (R79-3) and evaluated in this report are those proposed revisions for Rule 105(a)(3) by the Agency and by the Chamber. The Agency's Proposed Rule 105(a)(3) states: In the following townships, no person shall replace the air-pollution control equipment on any source of particulate matter with a less-effective kind of control equipment (and the areas are listed). The Chamber's proposed Rule 105(a)(3) states: In the following townships, no person shall replace the air-pollution control equipment on any source of particulate matter with a less-effective kind of control equipment, provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude operation of the production facilities or air-pollution control equipment in any manner which does not cause excess emissions as herein defined; and those areas are listed.
