Title:  

Rhodes Landfill

 
 Volume/Number:  2001 May 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Operation of the Rhodes Landfill began in the 1940s at the site of a former gravel quarry along Route 48 at Bowshier Lane. This 16-acre landfill held primarily construction/demolition debris, although foundry wastes, general refuse and other materials were also accepted. The southern edge of the site borders the Sangamon River. The landfill was closed by a court order in 1992. A closure plan submitted by the owner, Mr. Charles Rhodes, was approved by the Illinois EPA in 1994 but never implemented. The State of Illinois plans to construct a cap on the site. Illinois EPA has sent legal notice to the owner explaining our intentions, and the Agency retains the right to pursue cost recovery after the work is complete.
