(C) The Board may not adopt any regulation banning the
2
burning of landscape waste throughout the State generally. The
3
Board may, by regulation, restrict or prohibit the burning of
4
landscape waste within any geographical area of the State if

it determines based on medical and biological evidence
6
generally accepted by the scientific community that such

characteristics and duration as to be injurious to human,

plant, or animal life or health.
11

(D) The Board shall adopt regulations requiring the owner
12

requirements of Section 182 of the federal Clean Air Act (42
17
U.S.C. 7511a). These regulations shall apply only in areas of
18
the State that are classified as moderate, serious, severe, or
19
extreme nonattainment areas for ozone pursuant to Section 181
20
of the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7511), but shall not
21
apply in such areas classified as moderate nonattainment areas
22
for ozone if the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
23
Protection Agency promulgates standards for vehicle-based
24
(onboard) systems for the control of vehicle refueling
25
emissions pursuant to Section 202(a)(6) of the federal Clean
26
Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521(a)(6)) by November 15, 1992.

(F) Any person who, prior to June 8, 1988, has filed a
9
timely Notice of Intent to Petition for an Adjusted RACT
10
Emissions Limitation and who subsequently timely files a
11
completed petition for an adjusted RACT emissions limitation
12
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 215, Subpart I, shall be
13
subject to the procedures contained in Subpart I but shall be
14
excluded by operation of law from 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 215,

19
limitation procedure in 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 215, Subpart I.
20
In its final action on the petition, the Board shall create a
21
separate rule which establishes Reasonably Available Control

4
Board shall adopt ambient air quality standards specifying the
5
maximum permissible short-term and long-term concentrations of
6
various contaminants in the atmosphere; those standards shall
7
be identical in substance to the national ambient air quality
8
standards promulgated by the Administrator of the United
9
States Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with
10
Section 109 of the Clean Air Act
, except that the Board shall
11
not adopt under this Section any standards less stringent than

exceed 6 months. The provisions and requirements of Title VII
16
of this Act and Section 5-35 of the Illinois Administrative
17
Procedure Act, relating to procedures for rulemaking, shall
18
not apply to identical in substance regulations adopted
19
pursuant to this subsection. However, the Board shall provide
20
for notice and public comment before adopted rules are filed
21
with the Secretary of State. Nothing in this subsection shall
22
be construed to limit the right of any person to submit a
23
proposal to the Board, or the authority of the Board to adopt,
24
air quality standards more stringent than the standards
25
promulgated by the Administrator, pursuant to the rulemaking
26

water supply of that local government shall be exempt from the
18
mandatory chlorination requirement, provided that the other
19
requirements under this subsection (b) are met. If the
20
majority of the vote is against such proposition, the
21
community water supply may not be exempt from the mandatory
