Landfill Cap Construction HandL #1 Landfill
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) is pleased to announce the completion of construction activities at the H and L #1 Landfill. Construction of the engineered cap and landfill gas management system began on August 5, 2002, and continued, during the construction seasons, until October of 2003. In addition, the Illinois EPA completed cleanup and disposal of white goods (household appliances) from an open dumping area located on the west side of the H and L #1 landfill site. While not included in the original landfill design, this project was determined to be of significant benefit to the community.
