| | 1: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1995 September | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Many of the plant operations took place before most environmental regulations (see chart), so a potential existed for releases to air, water, and land. Preliminary Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) sampling, conducted in 1992 and 1993, indicated the presence of metals in onsite and offsite soil (including residential yards), surface water, and sediments. These metals include arsenic, barium, cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, silver, sodium, and zinc. These metals occur naturally in the environment, but the samples from the facility indicate elevated levels when compared to samples collected from a nearby community. The larger map referenced in the fact sheet will be included as a separate pdf attachment. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #2 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042424 Original UID: 21949 FIRST WORD: New | |
