RTE 83 & JEANE RD

The Lenz Oil Service, Inc. (Lenz Oil) site is situated on four acres of land in Lemont, Cook County, Illinois. Approximately 11,300 people live within three miles of the site. From 1961 to 1985, the site was the location of an oil and solvent recycling facility. Lenz Oil picked up waste oil and solvents from commercial and industrial businesses in the area and transported the waste to the site. Generators also transported waste to the facility. Waste was stored in onsite lagoons and above- and below-ground storage tanks prior to sale to facilities in the area for use as fuel or other purposes such as dust control on roads. Based on records discovered to date, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified more than 3,000 potentially responsible parties (PRPs), primarily generators. EPA proposed the site for the National Priorities List (NPL) in June 1988 and finalized the site on the NPL in October 1989. Site Responsibility This site is being addressed through federal, state, and PRPs' actions.
