This chapter is applicable to a request for site location approval of a new pollution control facility that does not handle hazardous waste as defined by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. To the extent a facility, described in a petition, proposes to handle or manage material that is not a waste, or proposes to conduct an activity which is excluded from the Illinois Environmental Protection Act’s definition of a pollution, control facility, or proposes to conduct an activity which does not require a permit from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, this chapter does not govern the petition, and authorization to locate such a facility shall be determined by other provisions in the city’s code, including but not limited to those related to zoning, special use, building or environmental requirements, as applicable. The terms of this chapter do not constitute or imply a policy decision by the city concerning siting pollution control facilities of any kind within the city, but exist to guide the city in the fulfillment of its statutory duties with respect to requests for site location approval.
