During an inspection by Illinois EPA in June 1997, field personnel discovered that an open trench had filled with 35-40 feet of leachate (rainwater that has traveled through the landfill and contacted waste). The leachate overflowed at times into nearby Riley Creek, a Class A Stream considered a "unique aquatic resource" in the state. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Final Fact Sheet (#3) | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042474 Original UID: 21995 FIRST WORD: Western | |
