The Johns-Manville site is an approximately 150-acre asbestos disposal area located in Waukegan, Lake County, Illinois. Approximately 3 million cubic yards of off-specification products and wastewater sludge, containing asbestos, and to a lesser degree, lead, chromium, and thorium, were disposed in the eastern area of the 300-acre Johns-Manville property. The disposal area is approximately 25 to 30 feet above grade. The site is located in an industrial area, and the nearest residential area is about one half mile northwest of the site. The population of Waukegan is 67,500. The site is bordered by Lake Michigan and the Illinois Beach State Park, both of which are used for recreation. Studies conducted at the site indicated that airborne asbestos presented the greatest potential risk. Johns-Manville ceased operations onsite in summer 1998. All former manufacturing buildings were demolished in 2000-2001. Site Responsibility This site is being addressed through potentially responsible party (PRP) actions.
