Hazards cif the PDC Hazardous
Waste
taildrill?
faII1P
Peoria Disposal Co_ _is
seeking
a permit froth the county board to
greatly
expand its toxic
waste landfill on the city's west edge (bounded by Rt. 8, Forrest Hill, Molteck, and
Reservoir Rds.) and
operate it for at least 15 more years.
It is the only one
left in the
Greater Midwest, one of only
14 left in the nation, .and has received highly toxic waste
from 15 states. It is the most im ioitant issue facin the cit -coon --
and
its future.
95% of the direr t impact would be to the city. But
-
the city's health is also the county's.
*There are 843 toxic chemicals — many the
most toxic known to
man short of nuclear
waste — that the Illinois EPA permits
PDC to bury in this 74-acre landfill. The EPA
requires
testinwoundwater for 'Just 20 of them -- and has PDC itself do most testing_
*But
therfCs no EPA testi for air pollution
from the landfill, though chemicals do
volatilize o soil
into our air, indeed,
PDC has
stack pipes in its landfill to vent
gases_
*A recent joint 5-country
study in
Europe found
that babies born of
mothers living within
2 miles of
ha-tat-dohs waste landfills had 40% more birth defects and 33% more of other
abnormalities
jThe
Lancet

A
New Jersey study revealed
twice as many premature births,
ascribed to airborne fumes.
In 2005 a New York state study revealed
15% more strokes

t-Peoria
has a dense population (over 2909) living downwind from and within a 2-mile
radius.of the PDC landfill (from FarmingtonRd., University.Ave_. and Charter Oak and'.
Big Hollow Rds), This area includes 265 residential streets-lined with single and multi-
family homes and apartments -. - plus
Bradley University.
BUT its effect goes fai.beyond
*Groundwater contamination is a longterm c_oncern. It travels for miles. This landfill
adjoins the aquifer
front which much (60%) of the city water supply is drawn.-2/Also,
it is
close to Kickapoo Creek and Illinois River. Chemical toxins can last for centuries,
"forever," experts warn_
Bur
the plastic and clay landfill liners are shordived. And
monitoring methods
"are not" fail-safe.
'Every
landfill leaks," states Robert Kennedy
Jr.
*PDC's current EPA permit allows 2_6-million cubic yards of
waste and expires'in.20061-

highly toxic

DEFINITION
.
OF HAZARD
OTIS- WASTE
in....state-la*:
Waste which "may cause or signi-
fitandy contribute to an increase in
mortality
or....serious,
irreversible,' or incapacitating:
_ .or.pose_ a
sol-wInraint
...
_
hazard to human health or the environment._."
WHAT WE WANT:.
'*Reject expansion of the landfill. (Peoria—County Board has
full
authority to do this.;
**Begin
now the permanent closure of this landfill while we are alert to the
problem.
*Become a" community voice urging the
state
and nation to require and
accelerate
development of means to (a) detoxify ha,ardous waste and (b) recycle it to traleficial
uses instead of burying it
in the ground where it remains hazardous and a menace.
