    INSPECTION DATE:
    March 17, 2009
    The
    purpose of this memorandum
    is to serve
    as the Narrative Inspection
    Report
    Document
    of a
    March 17, 2009
    inspection of the
    above referenced site. Bucks Construction Co. Inc. is managed
    by
    Mr. C. John
    Blickhan and operates
    on property owned
    by
    The Blickhan Family Corporation,
    Inc.
    (See attached corporation file
    detail reports for information
    about
    these
    two corporations.)
    While
    performing the inspection,
    open
    dumping and open burning of on-site generated
    construction
    and demolition
    debris (i.e. a construction trailer) was observed. Also, fill material
    that
    does
    not meet the definition
    of clean construction and demolition debris in
    accordance
    with
    Section 3.160(b) was
    observed in the Construction Fill Area.
    This inspection took place from
    approximately 11:20 am to 12:10 pm, and
    twelve digital
    photographs were taken. The weather
    at the time of the inspection
    was sunny and about 74°F
    with a 5
    mph
    wind
    from the south. Mr.
    C.
    John Blickhan (owner) and Ms. Lori
    Graupman
    (office
    staff) were interviewed during the inspection.
    Photograph 001 shows three inoperable vehicles observed
    in
    the material storage yard.
    These
    vehicles should be fixed or properly
    recycled.
    Photograph 002 shows an office
    desk and a charred
    scrap metal debris pile. The charred
    waste
    was observed on the construction fill
    area. Mr.
    Blickhan should be well aware that open
    burning
    of
    waste, other than landscape waste, is prohibited in the State of Illinois.
    Photograph 003 shows plywood,
    floor tile, glass,
    steel,
    fiberglass,
    melted plastic,
    electrical wire
    and ash
    were among the charred debris
    observed at
    Blicks Construction fill area. Mr.
    Blickhan
    claimed on April 13, 2009, during a phone conversation with the inspector, a
    wind storm had
    destroyed the
    construction office trailer.
    Mr.
    Blickhan stated he had pulled the
    partially
    destroyed
    construction trailer over and set
    it
    on fire so he could recycle the
    metals. The
    fire was
    used as a
    method to separate the recyclable metals from the
    non-recyclable debris
    contained in
    the
    construction
    trailer. Mr.
    Blickhan claimed he
    knew he could not burn
    on the
    landfill
    but did
    not
    know he
    could not burn on
    the adjacent
    property. He asked the
    inspector
    “How else
    would
    Page 1

    you
    separate the materials.”
    The inspector reminded Mr. Blickhan that
    landscape waste,
    which
    grew on the
    property, is the only thing that can be
    open
    burned at
    this site.
    Photograph
    004 shows
    a
    debris pile containing mostly of scrap metal. Mr.
    Blickhan
    stated
    during
    the
    April 13, 2009 phone
    conversation that the waste had been all cleaned up.
    Photographs 005
    and 006 show charred debris
    that includes fiberglass insulation, an aluminum
    can, foam,
    wires, electrical hardware, rusty
    metal, melted plastic,
    and
    miscellaneous
    wastes.
    Photographs 007 shows a
    55-gallon drum full of
    concrete
    which cannot be
    used
    as
    fill.
    Photograph 008
    shows rusty anchor tabs protruding from a concrete
    slab and several
    sections of
    crushed
    rusty metal
    culverts. This material
    cannot be used as fill.
    Photographs 009
    and
    010 show mangled pieces
    of rebar
    and concrete
    with rebar
    attached. This
    material does not meet the
    definition of clean construction and demolition debris in accordance
    with
    Section
    3.160(b). Photographs 007 through 010 were taken along the northern fill
    boundary.
    The demolition waste and must be disposed
    of properly.
    Photographs 011 and
    012 show red brick and mortar
    debris dumped
    along
    the western edge
    of
    the fill
    boundary. Photograph 011 shows the surface water has been stained red. Photograph
    012
    shows
    plastic
    debris intermixed with the material used as fill. The plastic sheeting must
    be
    removed and
    properly disposed.
    The
    apparent
    violations concerning open dumping, open burning, and deposition of general
    construction
    or
    demolition debris observed at Blicks Construction are indicated on
    the attached
    Open Dump
    Inspection Checklist. A
    site sketch
    and
    digital
    photographs accompany this
    narrative.
