House Resolution (HR) 1010 adopted June 2004, encourages the Illinois EPA to establish a Right-to-Know Committee and to obtain citizens' input on the most effective and efficient means of providing notice to residents exposed to or potentially exposed to contamination from air, land or water. In keeping with the spirit of the resolution, Illinois EPA is conducting this pilot notification project with the assistance of the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Cook County Department of Public Health. This notice is precautionary, because of the potential for one or more sites to affect the groundwater quality in the area. There are many sites in the area that may have a potential for contaminating groundwater. The current notification has to do with information Illinois EPA has gathered in the course of investigating, monitoring and performing work on the landfill sites discussed below. These are located in the Chicago Heights/South Chicago Heights area, south of 26th Street and west of State Street (see attached map): Chicago Heights Refuse Depot, Triem Landfill and Fitzmar Landfill. A fourth landfill, Lobue, is adjacent to these, although Illinois EPA currently has very little information about that landfill. In 1987, vinyl chloride was detected in South Chicago Heights Well #3 at a level that was more than the Class I Groundwater Standard, which is 2 parts per billion. Investigation and sampling of monitoring wells at the landfill site near Well #3 showed higher concentrations of vinyl chloride (140-240 parts per million) in 1988. South Chicago Heights discontinued the use of Well #3 after this event and later stopped using all its wells and began purchasing water from Chicago Heights in 2000.

2007 Illinois suicide prevention strategic plan.

In 2007, an alliance was formed between the Illinois Suicide Prevention Strategic Planning Committee and the Illinois Suicide Prevention Coalition, unifying the strengths of the groups to continue to advance the plan. The joint mission of this alliance is "to reduce suicide and its stigma throughout Illinois by collaboratively working with concerned stakeholders from the public and private sectors to increase awareness and education, provide opportunities to develop individual and organizational capacity in addressing suicide prevention, and advocate for access to treatment."

Areas of concern: This notification is based on information Illinois EPA has found while investigating, monitoring and working on two landfill sites in the Chicago Heights/South Chicago Heights area. Tests from groundwater and surface water at one landfill site showed levels of vinyl chloride greater than state Class I groundwater standards - the state standards that are designed to protect groundwater for use as drinking water. Vinyl chloride is from a family of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are common man-made chemicals found in cleaning solvents, gasoline and oil. These chemicals can travel in groundwater long distances from where they were spilled or dumped.

Addressing asthma in Illinois.

In 1999, more than 50 organizations joined the Illinois Department of Public Health to form the Illinois Asthma Partnership. The group has grown and now comprises more than 100 members, who, using a public health approach, developed an asthma plan for Illinois. The plan's overarching goal is to reduce asthma morbidity and mortality in Illinois through implementation of best practices.
