LANDFILLING IN REGION ONE ROSE 62.5 PERCENT
between 1995 and 1996 — the greatest percentage
increase by far among the four regions recording
increases. (Three regions recorded declines.) Statewide,
landfilling fell 2.1 percent during the same period.
Region One’s seven active facilities received 3.1 million
gate cubic yards of wastes in 1996 — or 1.2 million gate
cubic yards more than in 1995.
Winnebago Reclamation Service, Rockford, and Prairie
Hill Recycling and Disposal Facility (RDF), Morrison,
absorbed 46 percent of Region One’s wastes. This percent-age
would likely have been higher had Prairie Hill RDF
been open for the entire year; this facility only began
accepting wastes in August 1996.
DeKalb County Landfill and Freeport Municipal Landfill
do not accept out-of county-wastes; these facilities showed
decreases of 16 percent and 13 percent respectively in
wastes received from 1995 to 1996.

1996 vs. 1995
Region One landfills have not accepted any out-of-state
wastes since BFI-Davis Junction Landfill closed in 1995.
Capacity declined slightly in 1996
Despite the 62.5-percent increase in wastes received, the
region suffered only a mild 4 percent decline in remaining
capacity, thanks to the opening of Prairie Hill RDF.
Prairie Hill reported 50.5 million cubic yards of space
available as of Jan. 1, 1997, making it first in the state in
capacity rankings on that date.
Total capacity for the region’s seven landfills reporting on
Jan. 1, 1997, was 68.8 million gate cubic yards, which is
2.9 million gate cubic yards less than the amount report-ed
on Jan. 1, 1996.
Three new landfills will boost Region One’s capacity
Orchard Hills Landfill, Davis Junction, began taking
wastes on Jan. 12, 1998. Although Orchard Hills did not
submit a capacity certification form, its permit indicates a
design capacity of 28 million airspace cubic yards. Air-space
includes all wastes, all intermediate cover (soil
spread atop wastes at the end of each working day) and
the landfill’s final clay and topsoil cap. Orchard Hills
replaces BFI-Davis Junction Landfill.
LandComp Landfill, Ottawa, plans to open in the second
half of 1998, or in the first half of 1999. It replaces, in
terms of permitted disposal area, a facility one-fourth its
size: States Land Improvement #2, also of Ottawa, which

ceased accepting wastes on Sept. 18, 1997.
Lee County Landfill, Dixon, is another new facility under
development; it expects to receive an Agency permit
allowing it to begin construction in the summer of 1998
and accepting wastes by late 1998 or early 1999. This
facility will replace Dixon/GROP Landfill #2, which
expects to be filled to capacity in the latter half of 1998.
Freeport Municipal Landfill #4 also anticipates reaching
capacity and closing by the end of 1998.
Delegated inspections in LaSalle and Ogle counties
The Illinois EPA has delegated inspection authority to
the LaSalle County Department of Environmental Ser-vices
and Land Use,and to the Ogle County Solid Waste
Management Department.
Delegation agreements authorize these agencies to con-duct
many of the duties that would otherwise have to be
performed by the Illinois EPA field office: investigating
suspected violations of land-pollution laws and reports of
open dumping, and inspecting landfills, transfer stations
and compost facilities permitted through the Agency’s
Bureau of Land. (Inspections also include industrial land-fills,
or monofills, and landfills that closed prior to 1994;
these facilities are not included in this report.)
Rockford dominated regional transfer station activity. . .
An Agency survey determined six transfer stations han-dled
nearly 111,000 tons of municipal wastes in 1996, an

processed 51 percent of the regional total.
. . . and composting, too
Region One’s compost facilities reported processing more
than 48,000 tons of landscape wastes in 1996. Disposal of
landscape waste mixed with municipal waste in Illinois
landfills has been prohibited since July 1, 1990; however,
compost facilities are commonly located at landfills.

Average regional recycling rate remains healthy
The Agency does not regulate recycling nor is it required
to obtain statistics. Nevertheless, as a public service, the
Agency sought this information from county recycling
coordinators, who reported recycling rates ranging from 7
to 44 percent.
Region One’s overall recycling rate of 27 percent is a mul-tiyear
average rather than an average for 1996, because
Boone County’s data are for 1992 and Stephenson Coun-ty’s
data are for 1995.u

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 recom-mendations
to achieve solid waste
management goals, which typically
include waste reduction, recycling,
incineration and landfilling as pro-gram
options.
The law requires each plan to
include a program to recycle 15 per-cent
of municipal wastes by the end
of the third year of the program and
25 percent of municipal wastes by
the end of the fifth year.
Every five years each plan must
identify changes in planning areas,
evaluate progress in plan implemen-tation
and, if necessary, revise plan
recommendations and goals. The
county also has the option of updat-ing
its solid-waste generation rate.
The plan is then submitted to the Illi-nois
EPA for review and comment.
Questions concerning these plans
and their availability should be
directed to the appropriate local
administrators listed in Appendix H.
