55 MCMILLAN ROAD
The H.O.D. Landfill is located near the Village of Antioch in Lake County, Illinois. The site occupies about 121 acres, of which approximately 51 acres are the landfill. The site is currently closed. There are approximately 14,300 people living within three miles of the site. Approximately 40 private wells and six public water supply wells are in the vicinity and are used for domestic water purposes. The site is adjacent to a freshwater wetland. Sequoit Creek is adjacent to the landfill and flows into a series of lakes used for recreation. An industrial park, constructed on former landfill areas unrelated to the site, is located west of the site, across Sequoit Creek. The landfill is divided into the "old landfill" and the "new landfill." Operations began in the old landfill in 1963, when wastes were placed in excavated trenches that were covered with excavated materials from each subsequently dug trench. Operations in the new landfill began in 1975 that included construction of a clay barrier between the old and new landfills and the installation of a leachate collection system. The new landfill was closed in 1984, and the entire landfill was covered with a continuous clay cap. Refuse thickness ranges from 12 to 64 feet, with a total estimated in-place volume of 1.5 million cubic yards of waste at the site.
