Illinois Central / Quarry Springs
Illinois Central Spring is located about 2,500 feet southeast
of Lemon Lane Landfill. A large volume of flow and stormwater
drainage from Lemon Lane discharges at Illinois Central. PCBs
have been found in the sediment and water discharging from Illinois
Central in concentrations as high as 1,400 parts per million
(ppm). Citizens have complained for years that this area needs
to be fenced and finally after many long years of debate a fence
has been placed around the Illinois Central Spring discharge
area. Unfortunately PCBs continue to flow out of Lemon Lane through
several streams like Illinois Central and continue downstream
contaminating the environment.
COPA received the following water flow charts from the U.S.
EPA (6/15/98). The data was generated by CBS (Westinghouse).
