The IEPA has updated the CCDD webpage found at
the following link:
http://www.epa.state.il.us/land/ccdd/index.html
This site contains revised fee and certification forms, answers to two new FAQs,
posted the training announcement, and placed a disclaimer at the top of the
webpage advising readers to check back frequently for new information.
CCDD Fee Rules
Emergency CCDD Fee Rules have been filed with the Secretary of State and will be
effective until December 30, 2010 or until the date any non-emergency CCDD Fee
Rule takes effect. These rules (download from link above) outline, on pages
11856-11863, record-keeping, collection and fee payment requirements for all
CCDD operations under permit by the IEPA (or required to have an IEPA permit).
Sites that only accept uncontaminated soil as fill do not have to comply with
these requirements.
The IEPA has been taking a low-key approach to enforcement of the new CCDD law
since it was enacted on July 30. IEPA inspectors have been visiting permitted
CCDD fill sites as well as clean soil only sites to discuss the new requirements
and distribute new forms. In essence, the IEPA has been educating fill site
operators about the new CCDD law to ensure compliance without initiating formal
enforcement action. However, these informal efforts will not go on forever; the
IEPA will soon begin conducting formal inspections of fill site operations.
Please take the steps necessary to get your operations in compliance with these
new CCDD requirements. Contact me if you have any questions.
