Title

  • Illinois FIRST Abandoned Landfill Program: 33 Landfills Targeted for Cleanup

Description

  • In 1999, as part of Governor George H. Ryans Illinois FIRST legislation, the General Assembly appropriated $50 million to cleanup 33 abandoned landfills located in 21 counties throughout the state. These landfills have ceased accepting waste but were never properly closed. The problems at these landfills include: exposed refuse, odors, lack of access control, gas buildup, slope instability, surface erosion, leachate seeps, groundwater and surface water contamination. The Illinois EPAs Bureau of Land State Sites Unit will manage the cleanups at these landfills.
