Title

  • Western Lion and Service Disposal #1 Landfill SitesLoxa Road and Route 316, Charleston, Illinois

Description

  • After a history of environmental violations at the Western Lion and Service Disposal #1 Landfill sites, a temporary order from the Illinois Attorney Generals Office required all of the waste disposal operations to stop in January 1996. During an inspection by Illinois EPA in June 1997, field personnel discovered that an open trench had filled with 35-40 feet of leachate (rainwater that has traveled through the landfill and contacted waste). The leachate overflowed at times into nearby Riley Creek, a Class A Stream considered a "unique aquatic resource" in the state.
