Poster Contest for 5th and 6th graders.
T WO LANDFILLS IN REGION ONE SHOW UP IN THE TOP THREE
rankings of all the State’s landfills in terms of waste receipts
for 2005. Onyx Orchard Hills Landfill, Davis Junction, ranks
second in the state by accepting almost 5.1 million gate cubic yards;
Lee County Landfill, Dixon, is third with 4.0 million gate cubic
yards received.
Because Cook County (County Seat: Chicago) has only two
landfills left: CID RDF #3 and #4 and Congress Development
Company, transfer stations in Chicago Metropolitan area have been
consolidating wastes into semi trucks and transporting it to landfills
in Northwestern and Central Illinois.
Region One’s seven active facilities received 13 million gate cubic
yards of waste in 2005 — or 642,160 gate cubic yards more than in
2004, a 5.2 percent increase.
Two landfills expand available capacity in 2004
Capacity available for waste disposal decreased 3.8 percent from
2004 to 2005, by a total of 7.4 million gate cubic yards based upon
increased waste disposal in the region. Onyx Orchard Hills, Davis
Junction, received approval for vertical and horizontal expansions
on July 26, 2004. Winnebago Reclamation Service, Rockford, added
capacity on April 27, 2004 when its permit application for vertical
and horizontal expansions was approved.

R1.2 Nonhazardous Solid Waste Management and Landfill Capacity in Illinois: 2005
Capacity declined 3.8 percent as of Jan. 1, 2006
This region is second in the state, behind Peoria/Quad Cities, in
remaining capacity, with a 19 percent capacity share. Onyx Orchard
Hills Landfill reported almost 100.6 million gate cubic yards of
space available as of Jan. 1, 2006, making it third in the state in
capacity ranking on that date. Prairie Hill RDF, Morrison, with
almost 44 million gate cubic yards ranks seventh in capacity
remaining.
Total capacity for the Region’s seven landfills, reporting on Jan. 1,
2006, was over 186.2 million gate cubic yards which means 14
years of remaining capacity for the region.
Expansions help boost the State’s capacity
On July 26, 2004, Onyx Orchard Hills obtained approval for an
additional 19.6 million cubic yards airspace with its 40.5 foot
vertical expansion and its 76 acre horizontal expansion.
Winnebago Reclamation Services, Rockford, received a permit to
expand vertically and horizontally on April 27, 2004. This
expansion will add 1.8 million cubic yards of airspace for waste
disposal at this landfill. Operation of south unit expansion Phase 1
was approved on Dec. 21, 2005.
Lee County Landfill, Dixon, also opened Cells 13 and 14 in
September and October 2004. Vertical and horizontal expansions at
this landfill were approved on June 18, 2006, but is not included in
the latest capacity figure available.

Questions and Complaints
Illinois EPA Region One field office
personnel investigate reports of
suspected illegal waste disposal, and
inspect the region’s landfills, transfer
stations and compost facilities, except
in LaSalle and Ogle counties, where
some responsibility has been
delegated to local authorities.
Questions or complaints concerning
pollution control facilities, open
dumping or other incidents should be
directed to the office having jurisdiction

Another expansion approved later than Jan. 1, 2006 in Lee
County
Seven landfills in the Northwestern Illinois region remained open
into 2005. Lee County Landfill, Dixon, received approval to expand
its capacity by 29.4 million cubic yards in June 2006.
Delegated inspections in LaSalle and Ogle counties
The Illinois EPA delegated inspection authority to the LaSalle
County Department of Environmental Services and Development
and to the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department.
Delegation agreements authorize these agencies to conduct many of
the duties that would otherwise have to be performed by the Illinois
EPA field office in Rockford: investigating and enforcing suspected
violations of land pollution laws and reports of open dumping, also
inspecting landfills, transfer stations and compost facilities
permitted through the Agency’s Bureau of Land. (Inspections also
include nonhazardous industrial waste landfills, or monofills, and
landfills that closed prior to 2003; these facilities are not included in
this report.)
Waste Mgt./Rockford dominated regional transfer station
activity
An Agency survey determined Region One’s transfer stations
handled 125,316 gate tons of municipal waste in 2005, an amount
equivalent to almost one percent of the waste landfilled in the
region. Of those three voluntarily reporting, Waste Management/
Rockford processed 60 percent of the regional total, and MDI
Environmental Systems Transfer Station #1 accepted an additional
38 percent. Three others did not voluntarily report.
There were two inactive transfer stations in 2005. In the City of
Mendota, Illinois, Waste Management temporarily closed its
transfer station during the year. Rockford Landscape Waste Transfer
Station was inactive during 2005.
The City of Freeport proposes to open a transfer station to replace
its landfill that closed. More information about it will appear in the
2006 (20th) annual report. The City of Freeport received a permit to
develop the site on December 8, 2004, but the site has not yet been
permitted to operate.

Rockford Composting/Cherry Valley leads in composting
Region One’s five active compost facilities reported processing
more than 37,179 gate tons of landscape waste in 2005. The two
sites: Rockford Composting, Cherry Valley, (ranked sixth in the
state) processed 62 percent of the region’s total. Freeport Municipal
Landfill #4 Compost Facility was certified closed on Jan. 9, 2004.
Municipal Waste
Management Plans
The Solid Waste Planning and
Recycling Act requires all Illinois
counties and the city of Chicago to
develop, adopt and implement 20-year
municipal waste management plans.
Plans include programs and
recommendations to achieve solid
waste management goals, which
typically include waste reduction,
recycling, incineration and landfilling as
program options.
The law requires each plan to include a
program designed to recycle 15
percent of municipal waste by the end
of the third year of the program and 25
percent of municipal waste by the end
of the fifth year (1996), depending
upon the availability of markets.
Every five years, each plan must
identify changes in planning areas,
evaluate progress in plan
implementation and, if necessary,
revise plan recommendations and
goals. The county also has the option
of updating its solid waste generation
rate. The plan is then submitted to the
Illinois EPA for review and comment.
Five year plan updates have been
adopted by all counties in Region One.
Ten year plan updates have also been
adopted by DeKalb, LaSalle, Lee,
Ogle, Putnam, Stephenson, Whiteside
and Winnebago counties.
Questions concerning these plans and
their availability should be directed to
the appropriate local administrators
listed in Appendix K of this report.
Average regional recycling rate remains healthy
The Agency does not regulate recycling, nor is the Agency required
to obtain statistics. Nevertheless, as a public service, the Agency
sought this information from county recycling coordinators, who
reported recycling rates ranging from 3.0 to 54.6 percent.
Region One’s overall recycling rate of 25 percent is a multi-year
average. Seven counties did not report new data in 2005. Rankings
were not made, as recycling goals are subject to markets for the
recyclable materials.
