This 16-acre landfill held primarily construction/demolition debris, although foundry wastes, general refuse and other materials were also accepted. The southern edge of the site borders the Sangamon River. The landfill was closed by a court order in 1992. A closure plan submitted by the owner, Mr. Charles Rhodes, was approved by the Illinois EPA in 1994 but never implemented. The State of Illinois plans to construct a cap on the site. Illinois EPA has sent legal notice to the owner explaining our intentions, and the Agency retains the right to pursue cost recovery after the work is complete. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042450 Original UID: 21974 FIRST WORD: Rhodes | |
