Gilberts/Kedzie Property

In late 2003, Illinois EPA responded to an emergency at an old dump site in Gilberts. The remains of an old lead acid battery recycling operation had caught fire. Noxious smoke caused the evacuation of nearby residents. Although the immediate health threat seemed to have been abated, Illinois EPA decided to collect samples to determine if any contaminants were present.
