Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 205.110 - Purpose
The purpose of this Part is to implement the Emissions Reduction Market System (ERMS) regulatory program consistent with the assurances that are specified in Section 9.8 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/9.8 ]. The ERMS is designed, as further specified in this Part, to achieve the following:
a) Implement innovative and cost-effective
strategies to attain the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for
ozone and to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act;
b) Increase flexibility for participating
sources and lessen the economic impacts associated with implementation of the
Clean Air Act;
c) Take into account
the findings of the national ozone transport assessment coordinated by the
Environmental Council of States with participation by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and by the Lake Michigan Air Directors
Consortium; and
d) Assure that
sources subject to the ERMS regulatory program will not be required to reduce
emissions to an extent that exceeds their proportionate share of the total
emissions reductions required of all emission sources, including mobile and
area sources.
