Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 725.115 - General Inspection Requirements
a) The owner or operator must inspect the
facility for malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges
that may be causing - or which may lead to - the conditions listed below. The
owner or operator must conduct these inspections often enough to identify
problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the
environment.
1) Release of hazardous waste
constituents to the environment, or
2) A threat to human health.
b) Written schedule.
1) The owner or operator must develop and
follow a written schedule for inspecting all monitoring equipment, safety and
emergency equipment, security devices, and operating and structural equipment
(such as dikes and sump pumps) that are important to preventing, detecting, or
responding to environmental or human health hazards.
2) The owner or operator must keep this
schedule at the facility.
3) The
schedule must identify the types of problems (e.g., malfunctions or
deterioration) that are to be looked for during the inspection (e.g.,
inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting, eroding dike, etc.).
4) The frequency of inspection may vary for
the items on the schedule. However, the frequency should be based on the rate
of deterioration of the equipment and the probability of an environmental or
human health incident if the deterioration, malfunction, or operator error goes
undetected between inspections. Areas subject to spills, such as loading and
unloading areas, must be inspected daily when in use. At a minimum, the
inspection schedule must include the items and frequencies called for in

5) This
subsection (b)(5) corresponds with
40 CFR
265.15(b)(5), which became
obsolete when USEPA terminated the Performance Track Program at 74 Fed. Reg.
22741 (May 14, 2009). USEPA has recognized that program-related rules are no
longer effective at 75 Fed. Reg. 12989, 12992, note 1 (Mar. 18, 2010). This
statement maintains structural consistency with the corresponding federal
requirements.
c) The
owner or operator must remedy any deterioration or malfunction of equipment or
structure that the inspection reveals on a schedule that ensures that the
problem does not lead to an environmental or human health hazard. Where a
hazard is imminent or has already occurred, remedial action must be taken
immediately.
d) The owner or
operator must record inspections in an inspection log or summary. The owner or
operator must keep these records for at least three years from the date of
inspection. At a minimum, these records must include the date and time of the
inspection, the name of the inspector, a notation of the observations made and
the date, and nature of any repairs or other remedial actions.
