Please Note: 41 Ill. Adm. Code 178.100 states the following:
"CONFIRMED RELEASE" means a release that has been confirmed by soil sampling
that produces lab results above lab reporting limits for the requisite indicator
contaminants specified in the procedures found at 41 Ill. Adm. Code 176.330.
A confirmed release is not contingent upon whether detected contaminant concentrations
exceed or fall below the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Tier 1 corrective action objectives.
All analytical results that exceed laboratory reporting limits shall be reported immediately
to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), irrespective of concentration or comparison to Tier 1 standards.
Notification to IEMA shall be made immediately by contacting:
- 1‑800‑782‑7860 (within Illinois), or
- 217‑782‑7860 (outside Illinois).
Failure to comply with the mandatory reporting requirements described herein
will result in the issuance of a Notice of Violation for failure
to report a release, as required under applicable Illinois statutes and regulations.
