Regulatory UpdatePublic Act 97-1057 IMPACT ON ILLINOIS DRYCLEANERS

Public Act 97-1057 was signed into law by Governor Quinn in August and imposes additional requirements on drycleaners who useperchloroethylene (perc) drycleaning solvent.

Effective January 1, 2013, “third generation” perc drycleaning machines (defined as a machine without a secondary control system)can be operated until the end of their useful life at their existing location. However, these machines cannot be installed andoperated at a new location.

Beginning January 1, 2013, the license renewal application will include a certification by the applicant that all hazardous wastestored at the drycleaning facility is stored and transported in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Thedrycleaner must submit with the license application copies all hazardous waste manifests for waste transported from the facility forthe previous 12 months. With the 2015 license renewal application, the Illinois Drycleaner Environmental Response Trust Fund isrequesting copies of all waste manifests for the period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

Effective, January 1, 2014, all operators of perc dry cleaning machines must have completed an initial training course that focuses onenvironmental “best management practices.” The training course was developed by the Illinois Drycleaner Environmental ResponseTrust Fund, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and industry representatives. Drycleaners will be able to register online tocomplete the training course and print a completion certificate at the website of the Illinois Drycleaner Environmental Response TrustFund. Drycleaners will also be able to order a printed copy of the training course. Once every 4 years, the operator must successfullycomplete a refresher course. Please visit http://cleanupfund.org/ for training opportunity details.

All perc drycleaning machines and portable waste containers must have secondary containment that meets the following:

• contain a capacity of 110% of the drycleaning solvent in the largest tank within the machine,

• contain 100% of the drycleaning solvent of each item of equipment or drycleaning area,

and

• contain 100% of the drycleaning solvent of the largest portable waste container or at least 10% of the total volume of theportable containers stored within the containment dike or structure, whichever is greater.

In addition, perc drycleaning solvent must be delivered to the drycleaning facility via a closed, direct-coupled delivery system anddiked floor surfaces on which drycleaning solvent may leak or spill must be sealed or made impervious to the solvent.

Beginning January 1, 2014, manufacturers of drycleaning solvents sold in Illinois that are used as alternatives to perc must providethe Illinois Environmental Protection Agency with sufficient information to allow the Agency to determine whether the drycleaningsolvents may pose negative impacts to human health or the environment. Results of the Agency’s review of these solvents will beposted on the Agency’s website.

Instructions for UseGENERAL – You may use this workbook to keep records required by Rule for air program compliance. Keep these records at your facility for five years. This workbook was designed forPERC dry cleaners but it may satisfy the air recordkeeping requirements for Petroleum dry cleaners. Further regulatory information is included in the back of your workbook.

CONDENSER TEMP/PRESSURE LOG – Check the outlet temperature of therefrigerated condenser every week. Record the temperature and date in the space provided. In theblock marked “Is temp less than or equal to 45° F (7.2° C)?” check “Y” or “N” for “yes” or “no.”If you checked “N,” the machine must be repaired.

The manufacturer of each dry cleaning machine has specified an operating range for the high & lowpressure of the refrigerated condenser. During the drying phase determine if the high & low pres-sure of the refrigeration system is in the range of the manufacturer’s specifications. Record the highand low pressure.

Note: If the refrigeration system of the dry cleaning machine is not operating within pressure or tem-perature requirements, the dry cleaning machine must be shut down until repaired.

INSPECTIONS – If you buy 140 gallons or more of PERC per year, you must check your ma-chine weekly for leaks and record the results.

If you buy less than 140 gallons of PERC per year, you must conduct and record leak inspections atleast every other week.

Record the results of the inspections on the workbook. If leaks are found, they must be repaired within24 hours. Indicate in the “DATE REPAIRED” block when repairs are completed. If parts must bepurchased, indicate the dates they are ordered and the date installed. Parts must be ordered within twoworking days of leak detection and installed within five working days of receipt.

NOTE: If you are a perc dry cleaner and nearing the 360 gallon/yr threshold which requires a permit from the IEPA Bureau of Air, you must apply for a construction permit/operating permitbefore using 360 gallons. Failure to get the required permits before solvent usage reaches 360 gallons or installation of equipment may result in double fees plus fines and penalties. (All petroleum cleanersrequire a permit regardless of solvent usage; operation without a permit may result in double fees plus fines and penalties.) Any addition of dry cleaning units (petroleum or perc over 360 gal/yr) alsorequires a construction permit and should be applied for prior to installation. For assistance with permitting requirements call, 800/252-3998.

Compliance Steps Require

d of A

ll Perc Dry Cleaners

Reportin

g

Illinois perc dry cleaners must send reports to both the Illinois E

nvironmental Protection A

gency and USEPA. Each perc

dry cleaner must subm

it an initial notification report and compliance reports. T

he initial notification report lets regulatorsknow

that you are affected by this rule. These w

ere due on June 18, 1994, for existing machines. For new

machines, they are

due 30 days after installation. Compliance reports let regulators know

if you are meeting the requirem

ents of this rule.Compliance R

eports for Pollution Prevention were due on June 18, 1994, for existing m

achines. For new machines, they are due

30 days after installation. Compliance R

eports for Control R

equirements w

ere due by October 23, 1996, for existing m

achines.For new

machines, they are due 30 days after installation.

Training Requirem

ents

Effective January 1, 2014, all operators of perc drycleaning m

achines must have com

pleted an initial environmental training

course that focuses on “best managem

ent practices”. These training requirem

ents were developed by the Illinois D

rycleanerEnvironm

ental Response Trust Fund, the Illinois E

nvironmental Protection A

gency and industry representatives. Fund approvedsem

inars focusing on “best managem

ent practices” can be used to meet som

e of the initial training requirements. W

hen thetraining requirem

ents have been finalized, they will be com

municated to all licensed drycleaning facilities. O

nce every 4 years,the operator m

ust successfully complete a refresher course.

Other

The license renew

al application will include a certification by the applicant that all hazardous w

aste stored at the drycleaningfacility is stored and transported in accordance w

ith applicable federal and state laws and regulations. T

he drycleaner must

submit w

ith the license application copies all hazardous waste m

anifests for waste transported from

the facility for the previous12 m

onths. With the 2015 license renew

al application, the Illinois Drycleaner E

nvironmental R

esponse Trust Fund is requestingcopies of all w

aste manifests for the period of January 1, 2014 through D

ecember 31, 2014.

achine, dryer, orreclaim

er to determine if it is equal to or less than 7.2 oC

(45 oF) before the end of the cool down or drying cycle w

hilethe gas-vapor stream

is flowing through the condenser. T

hetem

perature sensor should be designed to measure a tem
