| | 1: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2002 August | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The landfill has erosion problems, uncovered refuse, and is leaching into the Sangamon River. Leachate is a liquid that results from water traveling through decomposing waste in a landfill and usually contains a variety of contaminants. This may escape into surrounding surface water or ground water, depending on conditions at a given landfill. The Illinois EPA intends to cap the landfill to prevent further leachate production. The map indicated in the fact sheet pdf is being included in a separate pdf. | | | | Date Created: | 05 02 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #2 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041796 Original UID: 21581 FIRST WORD: Bath | |
| 2: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 May | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Located on the south side of the Sangamon River near Route 48 in Decatur, this 11.7-acre landfill received municipal solid waste and demolition debris beginning in 1918. The landfill ceased accepting waste in 1991 due to a Consent Order from the Illinois Attorney General. The Consent Order required placement of two feet of cover on the landfill. However, Illinois EPA has no documentation that the work was completed, and after a visual inspection of the site, is concerned about the quality of the cover material. | | | | Date Created: | 05 02 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041797 Original UID: 21580 FIRST WORD: Bath | |
| 3: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2004 June | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This 17-acre landfill southwest of Decatur on the south bank of the Sangamon River was permitted in 1974 as a demolition debris landfill. It originated as an open dump in 1918. The site had a history of not complying with the state landfill rules in the 1980s. The landfill also exceeded its permitted waste disposal limits, by the time that operations stopped in 1991. The owner failed to comply with an August 1994 court order requiring proper cover to be installed and maintained. Visible leachate seeps (leachate is water that has traveled through the landfill and contacts waste material) and exposed refuse were observed along the bank of the Sangamon River. | | | | Date Created: | 05 02 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #3 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041799 Original UID: 21582 FIRST WORD: Bath | |
