Title

  • Western Lion Landfill Site Mattoon, Illinois

Description

  • The Western Lion Landfill, approximately 26 acres, is located at the intersection of Coles County roads 1100E (Loxa Road) and 900N (Route 316) and is about 1 miles northeast of Mattoon. The landfill was operated from 1978 until 1996. Various violations were documented by Illinois EPA during its operation. An inspection by Illinois EPA's Champaign field office in 1994 revealed an improper excavation in already-buried waste. The landfill was subsequently closed by an agreed order in January 1996 (Coles County Circuit Court).
