21:		Title:	Bishop Landfill
		Volume/Number:	2004 September
		Issuing Agency:
		Description:	Bishop Landfill, located approximately one mile south of Litchfield and the Long Branch Creek, is a 36-acre permitted sanitary landfill that was not certified as closed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA). Bishop Landfill operated from 1971 to 1987 and was permitted to accept only general refuse (trash), however, hazardous wastes were accepted without the operator acquiring the proper permits. The landfill was also filled beyond the permitted boundaries. The landfill has erosion problems, leachate seeps (rainwater that has infiltrated the landfill and mixed with the waste), and gas buildup. The printable map referenced in the fact sheet will be included as a separate pdf attachment.

23:		Title:	Former Cairo School
		Volume/Number:	2007 October
		Issuing Agency:
		Description:	Based on the human health threat from exposure posed by the dilapidated, asbestos-containing school located at 29th Street in Cair9 (also known as the Lincoln School), the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) will abate the asbestos where safe to do so and remove the building using State funds. Cairo is located at the confluence of the Mississippiand Ohio Rivers in the southernmost part of the State. Due to the condition of this former school, it is highly likely that asbestos fibers are being released to the environment and coming in contact with trespassers. Health concerns for human exposure warrants corrective action at this location.

In recent years, it was the site of a large tire shredding and recycling operation. International Harvester owned and operated the site from 1919 until 1983. Canton Industrial Corporation (CIC), later known as Cyber America, operated at the site from 1984 until 1994 and ran the tire recycling operation. In 1991, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) cited CIC for violations relating to improper storage of drummed wastes and failure to implement a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act closure plan at the site. During 1995 and 1996, the Illinois EPA was involved in a large cleanup of tires at the site.

26:		Title:	Caterpillar Proving Grounds Diesel Release
		Volume/Number:	2011 April
		Issuing Agency:
		Description:	On February 18, 2011, Caterpillar Tractor Company, Inc. (CAT) was notified by the Woodford County Emergency Management Agency that residents along Ten Mile Creek had noticed a fuel odor. CAT personnel checked outfalls on the bluff below the Proving Grounds fuel station and discovered some diesel fuel seeping into a ravine which continues to Ten Mile Creek. An initial investigation around the fueling facility revealed a diesel leak in an underground line that feeds the fuel dispensers. Diesel fuel is used on the Proving Grounds property to power the earth-moving equipment being tested there. At the time the leak was found, CAT began excavating to remove the source and to find the extent of the leak. The fuel had followed a down-hill slope to a ravine on CAT property, ran down the ravine and impacted Ten-Mile Creek (about one-half mile away) with a visible sheen of diesel fuel on top of the water. The map referenced in the fact sheet will be included as a separate pdf attachment.

28:		Title:	Centralia Environmental Services, Inc. Landfill
		Volume/Number:	2001 June
		Issuing Agency:
		Description:	CESI began operations in 1986. The 35-acre site was subdivided into six disposal areas and two borrow areas. The site was permitted for municipal waste and special non-hazardous waste. Areas I, II and III were filled with waste and have a partial soil cover ranging from 0 to 18 inches in depth. Due to site operating deficiencies, the permit to operate Area IV was denied. As a result, an extremely steep excavation face (about 30 to 50 feet high by 500 feet long) remains where the waste already in place was cut back to remove it. Operations at the site stopped in 1989. Although some soil cover was placed on the landfill, it is not certified closed by the Illinois EPA.
