General Information: The Board is an independent agency created in 1970 by the Environmental Protection Act.

The Board also reviews appeals arising from permitting and other determinations made by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), as well as pollution control facility siting determinations made by units of local government. The Board is made up of five Members with a full time staff of 24 and an appropriated operating budget of approximately $3.5 million.
