Public health assessment for Wauconda Sand and Gravel Landfill, Wauconda, Lake County, Illinois, Region 5. Cerclis No. ILDO47019732. Final report
Technical Report

OSTI ID:39575
The Wauconda Sand and Gravel Landfill, placed on the National Priority List (NPL) in 1983, is in Lake County, Illinois on the outskirts of the Village of Wauconda. It is a former sanitary landfill which reportedly accepted some industrial wastes (less than one percent of the total wastes). A number of contaminants, mostly metals and volatile organic chemicals, have been detected in leachate and at low concentrations in off-site groundwater in both the upper and lower aquifers. The Wauconda Landfill site is considered of no apparent public health hazard because the limited past exposure and potential for future exposure to site-related chemicals of concern are below levels of public health concern. The only potential risk is to users downgradient (north and northeast of the landfill), in wells tapped into the upper aquifer. However, most of the wells are tapped into the lower aquifer.
