+ − Adopted Amendment
Senate Amendment 001
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Oil and Gas Act. Requires an operator of a natural gas storage field that lies above a Sole Source Aquifer designated as such in 2015 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to notify specified parties located within 5 miles of the boundaries of a natural gas incident. Provides that the Department of Natural Resources shall adopt rules no later than 3 months after the effective date of the amendatory Act to establish the minimum criteria for an unintentional release of natural gas that would constitute an incident subject to the provisions. Provides that notices to private residents and businesses must be attempted through verbal communication. Provides that if verbal communication cannot be established, a physical notice must be posted on the premises of the private residence or business in a conspicuous location. Provides that notices shall include the location of the natural gas incident, when the natural gas incident was discovered, contact information of the operator of the natural gas storage field, and any applicable safety information. Provides that operators of natural gas storage fields have a continuous and ongoing obligation to notify affected parties if it is determined that the boundaries of the natural gas incident have increased, moved, or shifted. Provides that the notice requirement shall be construed as broadly as possible. Provides that the Department shall conduct annual inspections at all gas storage fields lying on the footprint of a Sole Source Aquifer designated as such in 2015 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in the State to ensure that there are no infrastructure deficiencies or failures that could pose any harm to public health. Provides that the owner of the gas storage field shall cover the costs of the annual inspection.
