Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(415 ILCS 55/10) Sec. 10. Pekin Metro Landfill; pilot projects. (a) Subject to appropriation, the Agency shall design and implement up to 2 pilot studies of landfills that overlie the Mahomet Aquifer to identify threats to surface and groundwater resources that are posed by the landfills. One of the pilot projects shall be conducted at the Pekin Metro Landfill in Tazewell County. In conducting the pilot projects, the Agency shall: (1) inspect and identify potential and current |
| contamination threats to the water quality of aquifers in the same watershed as the landfill (for the Pekin Metro Landfill, the Mahomet Aquifer);
|
|
(2) use geographic information systems and remote
|
| sensing technology to track defects, structures, appliances, and wells for routine inspection and sustainable management;
|
|
(3) install or repair groundwater monitoring
|
| mechanisms necessary to identify whether contaminants from the landfill are affecting water quality in the Mahomet Aquifer; and
|
|
(4) identify and provide cost estimates for any
|
| additional response actions necessary or appropriate to reduce or minimize potential threats to human health and the environment resulting from current landfill conditions.
|
|
(b) Following the completion of the pilot project response actions, the Agency shall:
(1) evaluate, in consultation with the Prairie
|
| Research Institute, the use of aerial photography and other remote sensing technologies, such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), to identify land erosion, landslides, barren areas, leachate seeps, vegetation, and other relevant surface and subsurface features of landfills to aid in the inspection and investigation of landfills; and
|
|
(2) identify additional procedures, requirements, or
|
| authorities that may be appropriate or necessary to address threats to human health and the environment from other unregulated or underregulated landfills throughout the State.
