Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 391.101 - Purpose
a) The purpose of
this document is to present criteria for transporting, storing and applying
sludge on land in an environmentally acceptable manner. This document
identifies methods of sludge transportation, handling, storage, application and
monitoring to control potential environmental problems.
b) These criteria are to be used for the
design and operation of sludge management plans required to obtain permits from
the Division of Water Pollution Control. More specifically, these criteria
apply to municipal and private domestic sewage and water treatment plants that
include the land application of sludge for final disposal.
c) These criteria apply to projects for the
land application of sludge that has been determined to be non-hazardous and
non-toxic. Hazardous or toxic sludge disposal is regulated under either the
Resource Conservation Recovery Act,
42 USC
6901 et seq. (1982 as amended) or the Toxic
Substances Control Act,
15 USC
2601 et seq. (1982 as amended) respectively,
as promulgated by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). These
rules do not relieve sludge generators, users or distributors of compliance
with Federal regulations.
