Makes changes to the remediation process, including requiring public hearings, when remediation objectives have not been achieved within the specified time period. Provides that if all applicable remediation objectives have not been achieved at a site within 10 years after completion of the site investigation, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, in collaboration with the Pollution Control Board, must hold a public hearing to determine whether the responsible owner or operator will either (i) pay the Agency to conduct the proper corrective action or (ii) purchase the site from the current site owner for the site's fair market value. Effective immediately.
