Bishop Landfill
Bishop Landfill, located about one mile south of Litchfield and the Long Branch Creek, is an approximately 36-acre permitted sanitary landfill that was not certified as closed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA). It operated from 1971 till 1987. Bishop Landfill was permitted to accept only general refuse (trash); however, hazardous wastes were taken without the operator acquiring the proper permits.
