Wells in rural areas that may be affected by leaking fuel tanks should also test for VOCs. | | | | Date Created: | 09 02 2009 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000040284 Original UID: 20477 FIRST WORD: Safe | |

The cinder/slag contains elevated levels of lead, zinc and other metals. Contaminants have migrated from the site to a drainage ditch and adjacent pond and wetlands. Antimony, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc were detected in the wetlands in excess of U.S.EPAs regional sediment screening values. Antimony, arsenic, lead and zinc have been found in residential yards in excess of U.S.EPAs regional screening levels. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042454 Original UID: 21978 FIRST WORD: Sandoval | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2012 March | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | In June 2009, Illinois EPA mailed public notices to all Sauk Village Water Supply users regarding vinyl chloride contamination in groundwater that is affecting the community water supply. In the water drawn from Well Number 3, the concentration of vinyl chloride in 2009 [at 3.49 micrograms per liter (ug/L)] violated the federal maximum contaminant level of 2 ug/L allowed for a public water supply. Well Number 3 was taken out of service in 2009 and has not been part of the system since then because of the vinyl chloride contamination. This fact sheet also provides a QandA format to address concerns. | | | | Date Created: | 03 06 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | fact sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000040457 Original UID: 20643 FIRST WORD: Sauk | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2012 August 8 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Since 2009, there have been detections of vinyl chloride in the Sauk Village water wells providing water for the community drinking water supply. Vinyl chloride is a man-made chemical that is found in groundwater from break-down products of solvent-type chemicals. When vinyl chloride is detected, it can indicate spills or releases that occurred 25 years or more in the past. The water supply wells and the finished water that is provided to residents is being sampled and analyzed by the Illinois EPA staff on a weekly basis to make sure that water provided to the community is safe to drink. | | | | Date Created: | 08 08 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | fact sheet #3 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000044495 Original UID: 23990 FIRST WORD: Sauk | |

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2000 August | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | For many years, this 124-acre site has been the location of fertilizer manufacturing which used naturally-occurring phosphates found in gypsum. The process used acid to free the phosphates to use in fertilizer production, and it resulted in a 25-40 acre pile/stack of acidic gypsum waste. The gypsum waste was piled into a strip mine pond and rises more than 60 feet above the pond surface. In 1989, Illinois EPA spent $500,000 to perform an immediate removal of hazardous waste at the site. The Agency is now faced with emergency cleanup and stabilization work. One of the previous owners has agreed to assist with the most immediate problem to safeguard surrounding residents and the environment.

The process used acid to free the phosphates for use in fertilizer production, and it resulted in a 25 to 40 acre pile/stack of acidic gypsum waste. The gypsum waste was piled into a strip mine pond and now rises more than 60 feet above the pond surface. Illinois EPA placed a Seal Order (to prevent public access) on the site in 1988 and, in 1989, spent $500,000 to perform an Immediate Removal of hazardous waste at the site. In 2000, the Agency worked with Borden Chemical, Inc., a former site owner, to do emergency stabilization work to safeguard surrounding residents and the environment. After many years of dealing with obstacles and delays, visible progress is taking place on the site.

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2005 August | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Illinois EPA and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) have signed a record of decision to remedy contaminants found in what is called Source Area 4. (See story below.) To prepare for the construction of that remedy, the Illinois EPA conducted additional investigations in the area. Investigation results showed free product1 and contaminated soil near the building and closer to the surface than expected. Since the contamination is so close to the surface, the Illinois EPA and U.S. EPA decided that removing these soils and free product is necessary to prevent human exposure. Also, removing this quantity of contaminated soil and free product will have the immediate effect of reducing movement of contaminants off site in groundwater2. The remedy of the remaining contamination is planned for 2006. | | | | Date Created: | 05 25 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042538 Original UID: 22052 FIRST WORD: Southeast | |
