Before entering into a financial commitment for or beginning to construct a new PWS or increasing the capacity of an existing PWS, a supplier must obtain a construction permit under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 602.101 and, to the extent practicable, avoid locating part or all of the new or expanded facility at a site having certain characteristics:
a) The site must not be subject to a significant risk from earthquakes, floods, fires, or other disasters that could cause a breakdown of the PWS or a portion of the PWS. As used in this subsection, "significant risk" means a greater risk to the new or expanded facility than would exist at other locations within the area the supplier serves; orb) Except for intake structures, the site must not be within a 100-year floodplain.Ill.
