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, and the Illinois EPA eventually obtained a court order to close the landfill on May 6, 1992. Located approximately 1/4 mile south of the Sangamon River and north of Rock Spring Road, the landfill had wide erosion gullies. Visible leachate seeps (leachate is water that has traveled through the landfill and contacted waste material) were observed on three sides of the landfill and drained into a stream that flows into the Sangamon River. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Final Fact Sheet | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042468 Original UID: 21989 FIRST WORD: Waste | |
