Project Summary: Preliminary investigations indicated that lead impacts were present in subsurface soil and groundwater as a result of a closed landfill on the adjacent property. One subsurface soil sample exceeded the IDEM action level of 1000 mg/kg (1820 mg/kg at 4-6' in boring MW-4). However, this sample contained fill material and pieces of scrap and was not considered representative of site conditions. All other subsurface samples from site characterization and confirmatory sampling were below closure standards. Eight consecutive quarters of groundwater data were collected below the IDEM RISC default value of 0.042 mg/L. As an added measure of protection, an Environmental Restrictive Covenant was placed onto the property deed prohibiting the use of the property for residential purposes, prohibiting the use of site groundwater, and prohibiting uncontrolled access to subsurface soil in the project area. | |
