| | 2461: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2008 February | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Illinois EPA has scheduled the first controlled prairie burn at the former Waste Hauling Landfill site for late February to mid-March 2008. The specific date of the event will depend on weather conditions. The site is located west of Decatur, approximately 1/4 mile south of the Sangamon River on the north side of West Rock Springs Road. The controlled burn is necessary to eliminate accumulated dead vegetation and to stimulate new growth and diversity in the plant life. It will also eliminate invasive plant species, which have more shallow root systems than the mix of prairie plants on the landfill cap. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #4 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042469 Original UID: 21990 FIRST WORD: Controlled | |

| 2463: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2006 July | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) began a sampling program in 2005 to test private wells in the county for potential chemical threats. In consultation with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA or Agency) and U.S. Geological Survey, the health department developed a scientific strategy for randomly testing a representative number of wells across the county for the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These are common chemicals found in industrial and commercial solvents and products such as gasoline and other fuels. The goal of the testing is to provide homeowners with information about the quality of the water they are using from private wells and to help them make informed decisions for their families.

| 2464: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 1999 July | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | 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). | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042472 Original UID: 21993 FIRST WORD: Western | |
| 2465: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2000 May | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | After a history of environmental violations at the Western Lion and Service Disposal #1 Landfill sites, the Illinois EPA learned in May 1994 that the owner/operator of the site had begun excavating a trench in an area of buried waste without a permit. A temporary order from the Attorney General's Office required all operations to stop by January 20, 1996. During an inspection by Illinois EPA in June 1997, field personnel discovered that the open trench had filled with 35-40 feet of leachate (rainwater that has traveled through the landfill and contacted waste). This leachate pit occasionally overtopped its banks and flowed into the nearby Riley Creek, which is a Class "A" Stream. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #2 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042473 Original UID: 21994 FIRST WORD: Western | |

| 2467: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 March | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Illinois EPA has scheduled the first controlled prairie burn for early to mid-April 2007 (dependent on certain weather conditions) at the former Western Lion/Service Disposal Landfill site. A burn was scheduled for spring of 2005, but was cancelled due to lack of adequate vegetation. The site is located at the intersection of Coles County roads 1100E (Loxa Road) and 900N (Route 316) about 1 miles northeast of Mattoon. The controlled burn, which may take one to three days, is necessary to eliminate accumulated dead vegetation and to stimulate new growth and diversity in the plant life. It will also eliminate invasive plant species, which have shallower root systems than the mix of prairie plants on the landfill cap. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | [Fact Sheet #4] | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042475 Original UID: 21996 FIRST WORD: Western | |
