Southeast Rockford Groundwater Contamination Superfund
Project
Rockford, Illinois
This site is located in Rockford (Winnebago County), Illinois. It was
placed on the National Priorities List in 1989 because of private wells
and at least one municipal well contaminated with chlorinated industrial
solvents. Lead for the site has been split between the Illinois EPA and
USEPA.
Work completed includes the connection of over 800 homes and businesses
to the Rockford Public Water Supply, ongoing treatment of Public Well
No. 35 and ongoing groundwater monitoring. The feasibility study and proposed
plan for control of the four main sources of contamination are scheduled
to be presented to the public for comment in late 2000 or early 2001.
