Illinois Code § 59

§ 59.

Definitions. As used in this Title: "Carbon dioxide capture project" mean a project or facility that: (1) uses equipment to capture a significant quantity of carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air or uses a process to separate carbon dioxide from industrial or energy-related sources, other than oil or gas production from a well; and (2) produces a concentrated fluid of carbon dioxide. "Carbon dioxide stream" means carbon dioxide, any incidental associated substances derived from the source materials and process of producing or capturing carbon dioxide, and any substance added to the stream to enable or improve the injection process or the detection of a leak or rupture. "Carbon sequestration activity" means the injection of one or more carbon dioxide streams into underground geologic formations under at least one Class VI well permit for long-term sequestration. "Criteria pollutants" means the 6 pollutants for which the United States Environmental Protection Agency has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act, together with recognized precursors to those pollutants. "Project labor agreement" means a prehire collective bargaining agreement that covers all terms and conditions of employment on a specific construction project and must include the following: (1) provisions establishing the minimum hourly wage for each class of labor organization employee; (2) provisions establishing the benefits and other compensation for each class of labor organization employee; (3) provisions establishing that no strike or disputes will be engaged in by the labor organization employees; (4) provisions establishing that no lockout or disputes will be engaged in by the general contractor building the project; and (5) provisions for minorities and women, as defined under the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act, setting forth goals for apprenticeship hours to be performed by minorities and women and setting forth goals for total hours to be performed by underrepresented minorities and women. "Project labor agreement" includes other terms and conditions a labor organization or general contractor building the project deems necessary. "Sequestration facility" means the carbon dioxide sequestration reservoir, underground equipment, including, but not limited to, well penetrations, and surface facilities and equipment used or proposed to be used in a carbon sequestration activity. "Sequestration facility" includes each injection well and equipment used to connect surface activities to the carbon dioxide sequestration reservoir and underground equipment. "Sequestration facility" does not include pipelines used to transport carbon dioxide to a sequestration facility. (Source: P.A. 103-651, eff. 7-18-24.)

"Sequestration facility" does not include pipelines used to transport carbon dioxide to a sequestration facility. "Sole source aquifer" means an aquifer designated as a sole source or principal aquifer by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which, for purposes of this definition, consists of the Sole Source Aquifer Area, as designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency on March 19, 2015.
