Illinois EPA Leaking Tank Program
Illinois EPA Site Remediation Program
AEC works with numerous regulatory agencies to safely address potential environmental issues our clients may have with a property. The U.S. EPA Region 5 serves Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin and 35 tribes. The Illinois EPA serves as the regulatory agency for Illinois and protects human health and the environment by ensuring that hazardous and solid waste are managed in a sound manner and reducing or control the risk to human health and the environment by overseeing the cleanup of contaminated sites. The U.S. and Illinois EPA have been involved with many projects that are close to home like the Ellsworth Industrial Park in Downers Grove.
From May 2001 to January 2002, the Illinois EPA sampled more than 500 residential wells in unincorporated areas near Downers Grove, Illinois, and found more than 400 of these wells contained the chemicals trichloroethylene and/or tetrachloroethylene. Of those, more than 200 contained concentrations that were above the federal safe drinking water standards. As a result, one of the most intensive groundwater investigations ever undertaken in Northern Illinois was conducted by U.S. EPA Region 5’s Emergency Response Branch and the Illinois EPA.
The Ellsworth Industrial Park Site is a direct result of this $2 million-dollar effort. The investigation indicated that a group of 15 former and present businesses and individuals in the industrial park that investigation may be responsible for the residential ground water contamination. The U.S. EPA sent General and Special Notice Letters to this group of “Potentially Responsible Parties,” or PRPs, in the September and October of 2002. The U.S. EPA has asked the PRPs to address the threat to human health and the environment by paying most of the cost to supply approximately 800 homes with drinking water from Lake Michigan and by beginning their own investigation of how to address the contamination in the area’s groundwater.
The Illinois Pollution Control Board is an independent agency created in 1970 by the Environmental Protection Act. Under the Act, the Board is responsible for adopting Illinois’ environmental regulations and deciding contested environmental cases. These rules govern how persons initiate and participate in all proceedings before the Board. The Illinois Pollution Control Board’s procedural rules explain how to initiate and participate in Board proceedings, establish substantive pollution control standards and regulations to identify, investigate and remediate site that have impacted the environment. The Board developed these rules to make it easier for the public to participate in Board proceedings. Above is a link to the Illinois Pollution Control Board’s regulations web page.
