Sludge Watch ==> Illinois - EPA orders Triton to clean up mess in Forest Preserve

[Maureen Reilly]

Admin:
Apparently running out of farmers willing to take the risk of "fertilizing" 
their land with toxic sewage sludge, more and more agencies and waste 
companies are dumping it on public park land . . . .

Illinois EPA orders Triton to clean-up mess

Riverside/Brookfield Landmark (Bill Dwyer):

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) has ordered Triton 
College to removed numerous large piles of asphalt and other assorted waste 
materials that may include sewage sludge from Cook County Forest Preserve 
land adjacent to the college.

Last week the IEPA paid a visit to the campus to survey the dump site after 
receiving an anonymous phone complaint. Those officials subsequently ordered 
Triton Operations Director John Lambrecht to clean up the mess.

Proviso East was improperly dumping--mostly yard waste--in the forest 
preserve. After I complained the mess was cleaned-up.
