| 2: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2009 May | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Investigations at two Fox Lake are dry cleaner operations one currently operating and one closed have identified contamination in shallow groundwater that could pose a potential health threat to private well users in the area. Bavaros Cleaners is located at 41 E. Grand Avenue, which has been the location of a dry cleaning operation since approximately 1986. The site is approximately 5400 square feet, on which a one-story brick building currently houses the dry cleaning business at the north end and a restaurant at the south end. | | | | Date Created: | 05 14 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042229 Original UID: 21743 FIRST WORD: Groundwater | |
| 3: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 January | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This property is located on the east side of the Fox River in McHenry on Elm Street (Route 120). Gem Cleaners occupied the site from 1970 to 1977, after which it was occupied by carpet dealers, an automotive repair facility, and a tire store. The site is approximately 1/3 of an acre on which a 4,782 square-foot building is currently a car rental business. The site is located in a mixed industrial, commercial and residential area. Parts of the area are incorporated, and some are not. Currently, the public water supply is only available to some properties along Route 120, where there is a water main in place. Most of the homes and businesses use private wells for their water source. The printable map referenced in the fact sheet will be included in a separate pdf attachment. | | | | Date Created: | 05 14 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042234 Original UID: 21748 FIRST WORD: Groundwater | |
| 4: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 September | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Additional testing performed in February 2007 by the McHenry County Health Department confirmed the results from the January 2007 well testing and identified two wells contaminated with vinyl chloride. The well owners were advised by county and state health agencies not to drink the well water. Both of these wells were west of the Inverse Investments site. Five other wells had detections of vinyl chloride or cis-1,2-Dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE), which are breakdown products of solvents. Two private wells showed gasoline-related contamination at low levels, and nine wells showed no VOC contamination.

| 5: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2009 December | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Groundwater contamination appears to extend beyond the boundaries of both properties to the west towards the Fox River. The contamination is located in mixed industrial, commercial and residential areas. Most of the homes and businesses in the areas use private wells for their water source, since a public water supply is presently available only to a limited number of properties along Route 120. McHenry County Health Department conducted extensive sampling in 2007-2008 of area private wells for site-related contaminants. Illinois EPA conducted an investigation and additional sampling in 2008.

| 6: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2005 May | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | In 2004, both Illinois EPA and U.S. EPA investigated the location of a former battery cracking and recycling operation in Gilberts. The main site is located immediately north of the intersection of Railroad and Mill Streets bounded by Galligan Road on the east and the Chicago and Northwestern Railway on the west. It is in an area that is mostly wooded near both industrial and residential properties. Lead acid batteries were cracked open to recover the lead. Some of the lead seeped into the ground along with the acid contained in the batteries. Extensive environmental sampling last summer identified a six-acre area of gross contamination (mainly lead). Later, a second area of contamination was discovered to the southwest, where the Village of Gilberts Public Works building is now located, west of the railroad tracks - this is known as the Tower Hill Road site. | | | | Date Created: | 05 14 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #3 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042233 Original UID: 21747 FIRST WORD: Gilberts/Kedzie | |
| 7: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2011 December | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The General Electric Company (GE) located at 709 West Wall Street (Site) operated a manufacturing facility in Morrison, Illinois, from the late 1940s until 2010. The facility manufactured components for motors and motor control equipment that were assembled at other locations. Prior to 1994, GE used chlorinated organic solvents for removing oil from the manufactured components prior to use in the final product. A small immersion tank degreaser and a larger continuous process line degreaser were located in the Main Building. While no longer in operation, GE continues to take responsibility for facility-related solvents found in soils and groundwater.
