NARRATIVE RE-INSPECTION REPORT DOCUMENT
The purpose of this memorandum is to serve as the Narrative Re-Inspection Report
Document on an inspection conducted at the subject site on February 17, 2006 from
approximately 8 :50 a.m. until 9 :25 a.m., by this author. No one accompanied me on the
re-inspection. The purpose of the re-inspection was to follow-up the initial site inspection
conducted on November 4, 2005 . That initial inspection was conducted because one of
the respondents, Clifford Lawson, was caught in the act burning wire on his property by
this investigator. An inspection was conducted and both Mr. Lawson, the property
owner, and Cahokia Township, where much of the waste is located on a township road,
were deemed the appropriate respondents at the site
.
As mentioned in the original Narrative Inspection Report Document Memorandum to the
Land Division File from this author, dated December 8, 2005, there was no initial outside
complaint . This inspector was in the process of inspecting a property on a health
department complaint across the street, when the resident respondent was observed
setting wire on fire just south of Mine Street in a grassy area . Mine Street is small and
unpaved in that area and could easily be mistaken as a separate driveway . This is because
Henderson is an unincorporated town. However, the respondent was firm that it was not
on his property and was partially on a continuation of Mine Street. Several old piles of
wastes extended eastward on the road and past it where the road ends under the wastes . It
is the belief of this inspector that respondent Lawson is indeed responsible for wastes on
the township property, as someone else would have to pass by his home and go around
two junk trucks that he has parked there, as well as other wastes of his that have been
strung over the Mine Street road and right-of-way . That initial inspection resulted in the
issuance of an Open Dump Administrative Citation Warning Notice issued to two
respondents. One was issued to the property owner, Clifford Lawson and the other to
Cahokia Township. Mr. Lawson never responded to the ACWN as required. The
Township responded, alluded to the wastes being open dumped by Mr . Lawson, and
requested our assistance in taking action against Mr . Lawson .
The original inspection report listed the name of the respondents, the location of the site,
at 1086 Cordum Avenue, Henderson (mailing address is the same street address in
Gillespie, IL 62033). Mr. Lawson's telephone number is 217/839-3810 . Mr. James
Gucciardo is the township road commissioner, 21117 Sunset, Litchfield, IL 62056 . His
telephone number is 217/839-2993. Information regarding the Quitclaim Deed, such as
ownership and legal description was presented with the original site inspection report and
will not be repeated herein . A copy of the Deed is in both the Division and DLPC/FOS -
Springfield Region files
.
Upon arrival at the site on the day of the re-inspection, the weather was sunny and cold
with an air temperature of approximately 17° F ., with northwesterly winds at
approximately 10 mph . Surface soil conditions were frozen .
During the re-inspection, 10 digital photographs were taken with a digital camera. They
show the conditions on the day of the re-inspection . From the digital photographs and a
previous inspection report sketch, this author developed a computer-generated sketch of
the site. It shows the approximate layout of the site, as well as the locations and
directions of the re-inspection photos. The digital camera assigns a three-digit number to
each photograph, i .e ., 001, 002 and 003. This is how the numbers of the photographs are
presented herein and in the Digital Photographs. To save space on the Site Sketch, real
numbers have been used,
i .e ., 1, 2, etc. Copies of the Digital Photographs and the Site
Sketch accompany this report
.
The Digital Photographs that were taken on February 17, 2006 show wastes still present
both on Mr. Lawson's property and on the adjacent Cahokia Township Mine Road and
Mine Road right-of-way. The 10 photographs are described as follows
:
Photo # 001 shows the site as seen from Mine Street, just east of the intersection with
Cordum Avenue .
Photo # 002 shows a cluttered yard in the foreground and waste in the background . A
wrecked Chevy S-10 pick-up truck has been placed on Mine Street, immediately south of
Mr. Lawson's property. He admitted it was his truck and that he had recently wrecked it .
Photo # 003 shows a burned spot south of Mine Street, immediately south of Mr
.
Lawson's property, which measured 3' x 3' . This was an area where Mr. Lawson was
caught burning wire during the initial site inspection . The burned wire had been
removed
.
Photo # 004 shows buckets of metals, some dumped on Mine Street, immediately south
of Lawson's property. Mr. Lawson admitted that those buckets and the metals were his
.
The apparently inoperable old green Chevy truck in the background reportedly also
belongs to Mr. Lawson
.
Photo # 005 shows another burned spot, also approximately 3' x 3', in grass immediately
south of Mine Street .
2
Photo # 006 shows the apparent junk truck that is the same shown in photo # 003 on
Mine Street
.
.
Photo # 007 shows waste metals, plastics and general household refuse to the north and
east of the junk green Chevy pickup truck shown in photo #s 004 and 006
.
Photo # 008 shows another burned spot on the ground
.
Photo # 009 shows general household refuse, metals, paper, cardboard, plastics and glass,
much of it burned, at the east end of Mine Street . The waste is the background has
vegetation growing in it and appears very old . Some of the waste in the foreground is
very recent
.
Photo # 010 shows the pile of the recently placed waste, shown in the foreground of
photo # 009. It is shown here from another angle, looking towards Mr . Lawson's
property .
During the inspection, apparent violations of the Act and the regulations, Title 35, Illinois
Administrative Code, Subtitle G (35 IAC) were observed. Those apparent violations of
the Act, include Sections : 9(a), 9(c), 21(a), 21(d)(1), 21(d)(2), 21(e), 21(p)(1), 21(p)(3)
and 21(p)(7). An apparent violation of the Act, Section 55(a)(1) that was alleged during
the initial site inspection is no longer alleged, because waste tires were not observed
during the re-inspection. Upon inquiry, Mr. Lawson stated that he put some of them in
his garage and doesn't know what happened to the rest of them . There were only about
10 used tires observed during the initial site inspection . An apparent violation of the
regulations, 35 IAC was Section 812 .101(a). The Open Dump Inspection Checklist that
accompanies this report provides additional information
.
OTHER COMMENTS
1. Upon arrival at the site, Mr . Lawson came outside of his home to find out what I
was doing. I told him I was re-inspecting the properties and asked why he had not
responded to the ACWN. He told me that he didn't know he had too. I told him
that his ACWN clearly states that he must respond in writing . He replied that he
didn't read very good. I told him then he should have had someone else read it to
him .
He was very adamant that wastes at the end of and around Mine Road were not
his, and that it was township property and he did not dump wastes there. I told
him that if someone else dumped there, they would have had to likely go past his
house. I asked why he would think that someone else would dump waste so close
to his house. He said he didn't know but it wasn't his. However, when I asked
who owned the two junk trucks on Mine road, next to his house, and who owned
the metal dumped from the five-gallon buckets that were there, he stated that
those were his
.
