Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): DuPage County Landfill/Blackwell Forest Preserve, Warrenville, IL, September 30, 1998

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:362219
This decision document presents the rationale for selecting the final site-wide remedy for the DuPage County Landfill/Blackwell Forest Preserve Site (DuPage County Landfill or the Site) located in DuPage County, Illinois. The selected remedial action addresses the major threat posed by this Site by off-site treatment and disposal of leachate and addresses the low level sources of contamination by containment of the landfill and contaminated soils, management of landfill gas and Monitored Natural Attenuation for ground water. The final remedy builds upon previously implemented response actions which include: cap improvements, installation and operation of a leachate collection system, off-site leachate treatment, and installation of a landfill gas management system. The final remedy selected for the Site incorporates both long-term operation and maintenance of these components and other response actions.
