H&L Landfill #1
The H&L #1 Landfill site is a 56-acre landfill owned
by the City of Danville located south of the city between Highland Boulevard,
the Vermilion River and Interstate 74. The landfill accepted general
refuse and industrial
waste for approximately 40 years. Local residents and industries were
known to use H&L #1 Landfill for waste disposal.
In 1999, H&L #1 Landfill was identified as one
of 33 abandoned landfills to receive Illinois FIRST funding. This funding
will be combined with a contribution from the City of Danville to pay for
the engineering and construction of the landfill cap. All future maintenance
of the fencing, landfill cap and turf at the site will be paid for by the
City of Danville.
