Site Code : 1418195007
County: Ogle
Site Name: Johnson, Michael
Time:
9:15
a.m. -
9:50 am.
General Remarks
Mike Reibel and I arrived at the Johnson, Michael site at
9:15
a.m. We knocked at the door . No
one answered
. The TV was on . The condition of the front yard was worse than before with
scattered litter and food wastes. Tires were scattered about . We walked along the roadway to the
back of the property
. There were more tires and junk laying around
. There was a pile of waste
still smoldering . In that pile was fiberglass from a roof, styrofoam, metal, head lamps and food
wastes.
The pile of shingles, noted in the last inspection on May 22, 2006,
was still on the ground. The
toilet was still there, also. We found a large pile of general construction and demolition debris
dumped into a low spot . There were small bum piles throughout the site . Piles contained metal,
glass, and plastic . We also found some more areas where waste was filling in a low spot and
being covered by dirt or gravel. We found couches, general construction and demolition debris,
metal, wood, and rugs being buried and covered by dirt. Also found onsite was a car axel, truck
tires, a vacuum cleaner, fluorescent tubing, a boat, camping trailers, an old boat motor and
unidentifiable material. It appears that the amount of waste onsite has increased since the last
inspection. Also now there is evidence of burial and burning of waste .
We left the site at 9:50 am.
