The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a proposed settlement agreement for the acquisition of a property by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources as part of the Brandon Road Interbasin Project in Joliet, Illinois. This settlement requires the party acquiring the property to enroll it in the Illinois Site Remediation Program, conduct investigations for soil and groundwater contamination, and perform necessary cleanup actions. The EPA is asking for public comments on this agreement until January 8, 2025, and will consider all feedback received before finalizing the agreement.
Simple Explanation
