Page 3 RELEASED 03/09/2010 Kankakee County Executive Session Board Meeting May 10, 2005 The meeting of the Kankakee County Board, Kankakee, Illinois, was held May 10, 2005 pursuant to the adjourned meeting of September 14, 2004 was called to order at 11:40a.m. by the Chairman of the Board Karl Kruse with the following members present: Mr. Martin, Mr. Tripp, Mr. Washington, Mr. LaGesse, Mr. Bertrand, Mrs. Bernard, Mr. Marcotte, Mr. James, Mr. McLaren, Mr. Vickery, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Nicholos, Mr. Romein, Mr. Liehr, Mr. Scholl, Mr. Hess, Mr. Bossert, Mrs. Campbell, Mr. Kruse Members absent: Mr. Stauffenberg, Mr. Whitten, Ms. Jackson, Rev. Wilson, Mrs. Barber, Ms. Hertzberger, Mr. Olthoff, Ms. Waskosky, Mrs. Mitts Quorum Present Mr. Helsten explained the settlement proposal he received from Waste Management on PCB case #04-186. On May 2, 2005, he received a final copy of the proposal. He read the second proposal to the board. Mr. Helsten advised the board members not to share any of the information regarding the proposal with anyone outside the county board meetings. Mr. Olthoff questioned what the difference was between the first proposal and the second proposal and if it had anything to do with the amount of reduction of waste. Mr. Heisten commented the only difference was they added the environment enhancement fund and supported new technologies. Ms. Hertzberger asked how long the liner of the landfill will last. Mr. Helsten told her that the minimum number of years the liner will last is 110-150 years. Mr. Martin made the comment that the problems are always going to be there as long as the landfill is open. Mr. Olthoff wanted to know if this will take place and the plan says only one landfill in Kankakee County, then the other one would not take place? Mr. Helsten said they do not know because it's still on appeal. The Third District hasn't decided yet. Mrs. Bernard commented on Waste Management pushing the board on a settlement before the Pollution Control Board makes their decision proves that they don't have a chance at winning. Mr. Martin made the motion to exit executive session at 12:39 p.m. Mr. Olthoff seconded the motion. Motion carried by a voice vote. Res Atfully s ubmitted, Bruce Clark Kankakee County Clerk I L ) 5 0Li -oQ'r7 4Aj In the past week all of you received a packet of 29 letters from concerned citizens in the immediate area of the Joyce Recycling Farm, Essex, IL. We hope you have taken the time to read each letter and the concerns of those persons. As these letters reflect we wish to have these concerns incorporated into the Special Permit that is before you today for renewal. 1. Split sampling of the ground water monitoring tests performed quarterly to be incorporated into the special permit agreement. 2. Testing for herbicides and pesticides added to the ground water quarterly tests. 3. Well water tests performed annually to immediate neighbors. to Joyce Farms that includes metals, nitrates, sulfur, phosphorus, fecal-coliform, herbicides & pesticides etc. (If funding is not available for items #1, #2 & #3, Joyce Farms would be accountable for providing service as part of the cost of operating.) 4. Odor has been a main issue. Every effort needs to be done to create a healthy balanced condition within the windrows. Windrow height needs to be brought back into perspective as outlined in permit agreement along with close attention to air, water and temperature of same. If odor free control can be done at other facilities it can be done here. 5. Operating hours: Processing material and receiving time should remain at present time for receiving 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. M-F. Saturday time changed to 7:00 a.m. to Noon Heavy equipment noise affects enjoyment of neighbors properties - and that should reflect in processing as well as receiving hours.. Some people are early to bed early to rise and have jobs to report to. 6. All incoming waste material to have weigh tickets that are date stamped at Joyce Farms. The transfer station manifest sent to IEPA, Donna Shehane for cross reference. Eliminate self reporting. 7. Dust control is required on present truck entrance off 3000N Road. Creates a problem for immediate neighbors. 8. Re-configuration of truck traffic from 14000W Rd to 3000N Rd. to 14000W Rd by grain bin directly into Joyce Farms. This would be a well received good will gesture We are asking Mr. Scholl, our •Districts Representative, and the full County Board to take our request to task and incorporate them into the Special Permit you are about to renew. We ask each and everyone of you to take our needs into consideration and the impact it has on our daily lives.

  • Greenways and Trails Plan
    Kankakee County Greenways and Trails Plan 2009 Kankakee County Planning Department 189 E. Court Street, Room 201 Kankakee, IL 60901 Phone: 815.937.2940 Fax: 815.937.2974 http://planning.k3county.net Greenways and Trails Plan 2009 Section I ‐ Introduction Introduction Greenways, trails, and open space of all types have a beneficial effect on communities. Studies have shown that open space and recreational opportunities can produce higher property values, provide economic stimulus, and promote healthier citizens. They can also have a positive effect on the community by reducing crime, improving air and water quality, and attracting tourism revenue. Below is a description of some of the benefits of greenways and trails. 1. Improvement of Air and Water Quality – The inclusion of open space in an environment can help reduce air pollutants by acting as a filter. The addition of one (1) tree can remove as much as twenty‐six (26) pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year. [ridethisbike.com, February 27, 2007]. The inclusion of greenways along creeks and rivers act as filter strips to clean water. 2. Reduction of Crime – According to an University of Illinois Study, inner city areas that contain open space with flowers, low growing shrubs, and high canopy trees have half of the crime of similar areas that lack open space. The study showed that these amenities drew people outdoors which reduced irritability, fatigue, aggression, and impulsive behavior. The study also showed that this reduction of negative behavior translates into a reduction of crimes, such as, vandalism and street violence. Page | 1 Greenways and Trails Plan 2009 The study observed that because open space drew more people outdoors, crimes were more noticeable and harder to conceal.
