Illinois EPA Hearing To Be Held Wednesday June 13 at 6:00 PM In The KCC Auditorium
OUTRAGE, POWER, Mini Creek Drainage District and other local groups requested the IEPA to hold a legal hearing on Mr. Volini's latest dump proposal for a Chicago regional landscape dump to be located next to his proposed Chicago regional garbage dump. Both are to be located next to Mini Creek which drains directly into the Kankakee River up stream from the Aqua Illinois water intake pipe, a source of water for thousands.
This latest proposal must be stopped. Just like his garbage dump proposal, this is in an area that has little or no clay protecting the shallow and deep aquifers from being polluted. It is also in an area that is flood prone. The water table is near the surface. Please go to POWER and read what three independent expert scientists have to say about the unsuitability of the hydro geology in that area for dumping any garbage because it will result in polluting the river, Mini Creek and the ground aquifers. Water supply for thousands of people and wild life.
Urgent, Please attend this hearing. You will be given the opportunity to speak. You also can send written comments to
Stephanie Flowers, Hearing Officer (#21)
