The site had a history of not complying with the newer landfill rules in the 1980s. The landfill also exceeded its permitted waste disposal limits by 40 to 50 feet, and the Illinois EPA eventually obtained a court order to close the landfill on May 6, 1992. Located less than 1/4 mile south of the Sangamon River and north of Rock Spring Road, the landfill has wide erosion gullies. Visible leachate seeps (leachate is water that has traveled through the landfill and contacted waste material) are observed on three sides of the landfill and drain into a stream that flows into the Sangamon River. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #2 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042467 Original UID: 21988 FIRST WORD: Waste | |
