Gilberts/Kedzie Property : former battery recycling facility : Kane County - Gilberts, Illinois.

In 2004, both Illinois EPA and U.S. EPA investigated the location of a former battery cracking and recycling operation in Gilberts. The main site is located immediately north of the intersection of Railroad and Mill Streets bounded to Galligan Road on the east and the Chicago and Northwestern Railway on the west. It is in an area that is mostly wooded near both industrial and residential properties. Lead acid batteries were cracked open to recover the lead. Some of the lead seeped into the ground along with acid contained in the batteries. Extensive environmental sampling last summer identified a six-acre area of gross contamination (mainly lead). Later, a second area of contamination was discovered to the southwest, where the Village of Gilberts Public Works building is now located, west of the railroad tracks - this is known as the Tower Hill Road site.

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.
