		Title:	Performing Well Surveys
		Volume/Number:	2006 May
		Issuing Agency:
		Description:	Requirements exist in Illinois and federal regulations1 to identify potable water wells in relation to cleanup sites to ensure that water supply wells are protected by proposed cleanup remedies. Because of concerns about known inaccuracies in certain databases and instances with inadequate documentation, a more thorough approach is needed for surveys of potable water supply wells. The enhanced techniques described in this fact sheet will apply across all remedial programs and RCRA Permits in Illinois EPAs Bureau of Land. While some additional research and reporting may be required, this approach should not prove overly burdensome to the regulated community, and it will provide the level of detail necessary to make informed decisions to protect well users.

		Title:	Safe Water Well Initiative
		Volume/Number:	2009 August
		Issuing Agency:
		Description:	If you have a private well, the Illinois EPA and IDPH recommend that you test your well for VOCs (volatile organic compounds like gasoline and industrial solvents), if you live in an urban or suburban area with business, industry or gas stations nearby.

		Title:	Sauk Village Water Supply Contamination Issue, Cook County, Illinois
		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.

		Title:	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.

		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.

		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.

		Title:	Controlled Prairie Burn, BATH, Inc. Landfill
		Volume/Number:	2008 February
		Issuing Agency:
		Description:	Illinois EPA has scheduled the first controlled prairie burn at the former BATH, Inc. Landfill site for late February or March 2008. The specific date of the event will depend on weather conditions. The site is located on the west side of Highway 48 along the south bank of the Sangamon River. The controlled burn is necessary to eliminate accumulated trees 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.

		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.
