(415 ILCS 5/22.2c)
Sec. 22.2c.
Adjacent site remediation; injunction.
If remediation of real
property contaminated by hazardous substances or
petroleum products cannot be reasonably accomplished without entering onto land
adjoining the site from which those substances were released, and if the owner
of the adjoining land refuses to permit entry onto the adjoining land for the
purpose of effecting remediation, then the owner or operator of the site may
bring an action to compel the owner of the adjoining land to
permit immediate entry for purposes relating to the remediation of the site,
the adjoining land, and any other real property that may be contaminated with
the hazardous substances or petroleum products. The court shall prescribe the
conditions of the entry and shall determine the amount of damages, if any, to
be paid to
the owner of the adjoining land as compensation for the entry. The court may
require the owner or operator
who is seeking entry to give bond to the owner of the adjoining land to secure
performance and payment.
