Public health assessment for Adams County Quincy landfills 2 and 3, Quincy, Adams County, Illinois, Region 5. Cerclis No. ILD980607055. Final report
Since the completion of remedial activities at the site, the Quincy landfill 2 and 3 site poses no apparent public health hazard. No one is currently exposed to contamination at the site. Any past exposure would not have been at levels of health concern. Based on current conditions, IDPH recommends that the Quincy Landfill 2 and 3 participating respondents group: Encourage the homeowner 1/2 mile west of the site to connect to Mill Creek Public Water supply and to seal the private well to eliminate possible exposure to site-related contaminants in groundwater; provide groundwater containment and treatment if groundwater cleanup levels are not met and maintained; continue proper maintenance of the leachate collection system and tank; maintain the landfill cap, particularly to address any erosion that occurs; and maintain a 6-foot-high security fence around the perimeter of the site to prevent trespassing.
