A temporary order from the Attorney General's Office required all operations to stop by January 20, 1996. During an inspection by Illinois EPA in June 1997, field personnel discovered that the open trench had filled with 35-40 feet of leachate (rainwater that has traveled through the landfill and contacted waste). This leachate pit occasionally overtopped its banks and flowed into the nearby Riley Creek, which is a Class "A" Stream. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #2 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042473 Original UID: 21994 FIRST WORD: Western | |
