Title

  • Bishop Landfill

Description

  • Bishop Landfill, located approximately one mile south of Litchfield and the Long Branch Creek, is a 36-acre permitted sanitary landfill that was not certified as closed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA). Bishop Landfill operated from 1971 to 1987 and was permitted to accept only general refuse (trash), however, hazardous wastes were accepted without the operator acquiring the proper permits. The landfill was also filled beyond the permitted boundaries. The landfill has erosion problems, leachate seeps (rainwater that has infiltrated the landfill and mixed with the waste), and gas buildup. The printable map referenced in the fact sheet will be included as a separate pdf attachment.
