[edit] Lake County
- Peterson Sand & Gravel in Libertyville (42°18′44″N 87°56′58″W / 42.312227°N 87.949505°W). The site of illegal dumping of paint waste and solvents. Cleanup was completed, and it was removed from the National Priorities List in 1991, and redeveloped as the Independence Grove Forest Preserve.
- Yeoman Creek Landfill in Waukegan (42°23′21″N 87°51′00″W / 42.389305°N 87.850102°W). The lack of a bottom liner allowed leachate to enter the local groundwater.
- Johns-Manville Co. in Waukegan (42°23′17″N 87°49′13″W / 42.388093°N 87.820201°W). An asbestos-disposal site. The area has been covered in >24 inches of soil, but areas outside the Johns-Manville property have problems with asbestos contamination, including other beachfront areas near the Waukegan and Zion. The site will be redeveloped as a soccer and baseball complex.
- Outboard Motor Co. in Waukegan Harbor (42°21′50″N 87°49′10″W / 42.363941°N 87.819327°W). An engine construction plant released hydraulic fluids into the ground and harbor, which contained PCB. Dredging of the harbor and soil removal have been completed, and decontamination of the isolated soil continues. During cleanup, it was discovered that the site contained additional contamination on the former Waukegan Coke Plant property. Soil removal there is also complete.
- H.O.D. Landfill in Antioch (42°28′33″N 88°05′07″W / 42.475927°N 88.085214°W). The site is ready to be redeveloped as athletic fields.
