$1 Million Taxpayer Dollars Spent To Clean Up Illegal Dump Site In Illinois

The Illinois EPA spent about $1 Million since June of 2010 to clean up an illegal dump site in Markham that went ‘undetected’ for years. (How can you not detect an illegal dumpsite???)

..Miller said the council became aware of the site in April after the local fire department responded to a small tire fire at the location. The council then alerted the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, which has paid for the extensive cleanup effort.

The IEPA has spent about $1 million since mid-June to remove more than 56,000 tires, 10,400 tons of construction debris and household garbage, about 40 damaged boat hulls, auto parts, and drums of unknown liquids. EPA officials said the dump may have been in use for years, if not decades.

State EPA director Doug Scott once again called upon the public to alert authorities when they see someone dumping garbage illegally. He also urged better cooperation and communication between local, county and state law enforcement to locate illegal dump sites and to track down those responsible. Cleaning up illegal dumps across Illinois has cost taxpayers more than $5 million since 2006, officials said.

“We need to shift from simply policing these dumps to trying to prevent these dumps from occurring,” Scott said. “We can’t afford (the cleanup) anymore. The villages can’t afford it anymore. And we really shouldn’t have to.”

Taxpayer Cost Of Illegal Dumping In Markham, Illinois= $1 Million

Tall trees shield the sprawling garbage mounds, but this dump has never been a secret. Not for the hundreds of illegal dumpers who have created the state’s biggest illegal garbage pile, not for the county that abandoned cleanup efforts, not for the residents who live beyond the dumpers’ roads.

Tucked inside a wooded area near Interstate 294 and 159th Street in Markham, the debris of half a century lies piled – tires, broken battered mobile homes, boat hulls by the dozens, drum after drum after drum of chemical waste, toilets, sinks, old children’s toys, glass, auto parts and a laundry list of other identifiable – and not identifiable – waste.

“It’s absolutely huge and unprecedented, in both how long the dumping took place and the size of the dump,” said Charles Grigalauski, regional manager with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, which began surface cleanup at the site June 15.

“This area’s been ignored for half a century and has suffered the environmental effects as a result of that.”

It took a four-day, four-alarm tire fire in April at the nearly 12-acre site to draw serious attention to the gigantic garbage pit for the first time in at least a decade, and the huge volume of waste has state environmentalists vowing to shut down the dumping.

Now, with the cleanup price tag inching toward $1 million, county and state officials each are attempting to paint the other as the responsible party that ignored the solid waste pile up and public health threat for decades.

One of the ways in which we can do that is to provide you more than just the numbers and the data from each project. This site will provide you with the background on each project, the “behind-the-scenes” stories, and the thoughts, advice and contacts for the people who were involved in each project.
Environment Illinois we all want clean air, clean water and open spaces. But it takes independent research and tough-minded advocacy to win concrete results for our environment, especially when powerful interests stand in the way of environmental progress.
