Title:  

Canton Industrial Corporation/International Harvester Site

 
 Volume/Number:  1999 August 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  This 33-acre site, which is adjacent to the Canton downtown business district, was the location of industrial facilities which operated as foundries, manufacturers of farm implements and other processes. In recent years, it was the site of a large tire shredding and recycling operation. International Harvester owned and operated the site from 1919 until 1983. Canton Industrial Corporation (CIC), later known as Cyber America, operated at the site from 1984 until 1994 and ran the tire recycling operation. In 1991, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) cited CIC for violations relating to improper storage of drummed wastes and failure to implement a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act closure plan at the site. During 1995 and 1996, the Illinois EPA was involved in a large cleanup of tires at the site.
