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.

CESI began operations in 1986. The 35-acre site was subdivided into six disposal areas and two borrow areas. The site was permitted for municipal waste and special non-hazardous waste. Areas I, II and III were filled with waste and have a partial soil cover ranging from 0 to 18 inches in depth. Due to site operating deficiencies, the permit to operate Area IV was denied. As a result, an extremely steep excavation face (about 30 to 50 feet high by 500 feet long) remains where the waste already in place was cut back to remove it. Operations at the site stopped in 1989. Although some soil cover was placed on the landfill, it is not certified closed by the Illinois EPA.
On February 18, 2011, Caterpillar Tractor Company, Inc. (CAT) was notified by the Woodford County Emergency Management Agency that residents along Ten Mile Creek had noticed a fuel odor. CAT personnel checked outfalls on the bluff below the Proving Grounds fuel station and discovered some diesel fuel seeping into a ravine which continues to Ten Mile Creek. An initial investigation around the fueling facility revealed a diesel leak in an underground line that feeds the fuel dispensers. Diesel fuel is used on the Proving Grounds property to power the earth-moving equipment being tested there. At the time the leak was found, CAT began excavating to remove the source and to find the extent of the leak. The fuel had followed a down-hill slope to a ravine on CAT property, ran down the ravine and impacted Ten-Mile Creek (about one-half mile away) with a visible sheen of diesel fuel on top of the water. The map referenced in the fact sheet will be included as a separate pdf attachment.
The Centralia Landfill Site is one of the thirty-three (33) abandoned landfills that no longer accept waste but were never properly closed. During 1998, Illinois EPA identified these orphaned landfill sites as critical environmental problems that need to be addressed. Governor George H. Ryan and Illinois lawmakers responded in spring 1999 by including $50 million in the Illinois FIRST program for addressing problems posed by these abandoned landfills.
This fact sheet has been prepared based on the information that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) has at this time and on its investigation to date. The Illinois EPA discovered that a contaminated emergency back-up water supply well was being used illegally by supplementing the treated Lake Michigan water that Crestwood provides to its residents. The well has been sealed; Crestwood has been supplying only treated Lake Michigan water to its residents since November 2007.
