Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: a) Property Description NE Park is an 87-acre former landfill site situated at the NE corner of Blue Island, along 119th St to the north & Marshfield Ave to the east. To the south is privately owned industrial land, including a small intermodal freight terminal & to the west is commuter railroad operated by Metra. A number of abandoned roads and abandoned railroad spurs traverse the property. The topography of the site is largely flat, although some berms have been formed along rail road lines. Except for the limited use areas, the NE Park is mostly overvegetated. Metra also operates a freight service on a second line that divides the NE Park site into 2 sections � the East Parcels and the West Parcels b) Site History A brick making facility from 1897-1952, John Sexton Contractor Company acquired the NE Park in 1952 and used it as a landfill until 1966. After landfilling operations ceased, the property sat mostly vacant and underutilized until the City acquired the property in 1995. Several industrial businesses have operated on portions of the site since it was acquired by the City; however the majority of it has remained vacant. c) Nature of Threat to Public health Soil borings from 1989 indicate varying conditions relative to the cap material. Cover materials vary from clay cap to a mixture of earth, brickbats, and rubble, and the depth varies from 0 feet to at least 46 feet. The site contains cap soils in certain areas which have served as barrier between the fill materials and users of the site. Environmental Concerns at the site include the presence of both soil and leachate VOCs, SVOCs, pesticides, PCBs, and heavy metals - some at concentrations above TACO Tier 1 soil remediation. There is the potential for impacts to groundwater from the leachate both within the landfill and migrating from it. The presence of methane gas is also a recognized environmental condition.
