Title:  

Beaver Valley Road Area Groundwater Investigation

 
 Volume/Number:  2007 October 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  In 1999, a resident in a subdivision at the crossroads of Beaver Valley Road and Squaw Prairie Road had his well water tested for the presence of chemicals, and the laboratory found low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are from a family of chemicals commonly found in solvents (degreasers) that have wide commercial and industrial use, such as metals fabrication, auto repair, dry cleaning and printing. The affected well is in a residential area northwest of Belvidere in Boone County and is not near any commercial or industrial development. The map indicated in the fact sheet will be included as a separate pdf attachment.

Bath Landfill

 
 Volume/Number:  2002 August 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  The landfill has erosion problems, uncovered refuse, and is leaching into the Sangamon River. Leachate is a liquid that results from water traveling through decomposing waste in a landfill and usually contains a variety of contaminants. This may escape into surrounding surface water or ground water, depending on conditions at a given landfill. The Illinois EPA intends to cap the landfill to prevent further leachate production. The map indicated in the fact sheet pdf is being included in a separate pdf.

Title:  

Bath Landfill

 
 Volume/Number:  2001 May 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Located on the south side of the Sangamon River near Route 48 in Decatur, this 11.7-acre landfill received municipal solid waste and demolition debris beginning in 1918. The landfill ceased accepting waste in 1991 due to a Consent Order from the Illinois Attorney General. The Consent Order required placement of two feet of cover on the landfill. However, Illinois EPA has no documentation that the work was completed, and after a visual inspection of the site, is concerned about the quality of the cover material.

Title:  

Bath Landfill

 
 Volume/Number:  2004 June 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  This 17-acre landfill southwest of Decatur on the south bank of the Sangamon River was permitted in 1974 as a demolition debris landfill. It originated as an open dump in 1918. The site had a history of not complying with the state landfill rules in the 1980s. The landfill also exceeded its permitted waste disposal limits, by the time that operations stopped in 1991. The owner failed to comply with an August 1994 court order requiring proper cover to be installed and maintained. Visible leachate seeps (leachate is water that has traveled through the landfill and contacts waste material) and exposed refuse were observed along the bank of the Sangamon River.

Batavia Groundwater Contamination Study

 
 Volume/Number:  1998 March 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  In 1996, routine water sampling by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) identified groundwater contamination in several semi-private and non-community public water supply wells in Batavia, Illinois. Subsequent extensive investigation by the Illinois EPA and IDPH has defined the area where groundwater contamination with Vinyl Chloride and other volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) has been detected. The surface area overlying the contaminated groundwater is roughly bounded by the Fox River on the West, Laurel Street on the North, Illinois Route 25 on the East and Bond Drive on the South and has been designated the Batavia Groundwater Contamination Site (Site).
