Tarkowski Property
Wauconda, Illinois – Lake County
The John Tarkowski property is 16 acres in unincorporated Lake County near the
Village of Wauconda. Public records show that Mr. Tarkowski has
been illegally receiving waste material at his property since the late 1960s, and
Lake County as well as the State of Illinois and U.S. EPA have pursued legal actions
against Mr. Tarkowski since that time. Although the judgment of more than one court
determined that Mr. Tarkowski should remove various waste materials and adhere
to deed restrictions, zoning ordinances and state laws regulating permitting of
landfills, the problem persisted. Extensive litigation by the local, state and
federal authorities has taken place relative to this site.
