Illinois EPA estimates that there are approximately 265,000 cubic yards of highly contaminated soil beneath the ground surface. Illinois EPA soil borings show sands, silts and clay to bedrock. Bedrock varies between 35 and 135 feet below ground surface. The water table varies from 36 feet below ground surface south of the park, to 13 feet in the park and 2 feet near the creek. The groundwater flows to the northwest.
