OLD LANDFILLS --
OLD LANDFILLS, 2010 (Source scale is unknown)
Shows landfills that are finished with their post-closure care and older landfills that were never permitted. Post-closure care requires submittal of documentation to IDEM, maintenance of the cover, and methane and ground water monitoring, where applicable. Landfills that are finished with post-closure care no longer submit information, IDEM inspects them less frequently, and they disappear off the Permit Manager’s list. These sites closed under a number of different rules and regulations. Some of them were never permitted. Many contain solid waste, but some contain industrial waste. It is a varied dataset with only one thing in common: they are not submitting information to IDEM, they are not regularly inspected, and they are not considered part of the IDEM permit universe.
