EPA v. CID-CHEMICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT OF ILLINOIS, INC.

Case summary

THIS CASE ORIGINALLY SOUGHT PENALTIES AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE INJUNCTIVE ACTIONS WERE NO LONGER VIABLE. THEREFORE, ONLY A PROPOSED PENALTY ASSESSMENT OF $26,500 REMAINED OF THE CASE (ORIGINALLY PROPOSED $39,500). SUBSEQUENTLY, A CAFO WAS NEGOTIATED FOR A $2,650 PENALTY, PLUS A SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT (SEP) VALUED TO BE OF $101,000. THE SEP WAS CONCURRED ON BY OE/OWPE AS HAVING AN APPROPRIATE HORIZONTAL NEXUS. THE SEP IS FOR WILDLIFE HABITAT ENHANCEMENT IN AN AREA KNOWN AS THE BIG MARSH WHICH IS BETWEEN TORRENCE AVE AND STONEY ISLAND, AND SPANNING 110TH TO 116TH STREETS. THE MARSH COVERS ABOUT 100 ACRES AND IS ON PROPERTY OWNED BY WMWII ADJACENT TO THE CID LANDFILL. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ILLINOIS DEPT. OF CONSERVATION, USFWS AND THE U.S. CORPS OF ENGINEERS REVIEWED THE PROPOSAL.
