The Evergreen Manor Groundwater Contamination Site is approximately 1.5 miles northwest of Roscoe, Ill. The site was defined by the extent of groundwater contamination in the region. The investigations conducted at the site identified a plume of contaminated ground water extending from an area on Rockton Road just east of Highway 251, to Tresemer, Olde Fairm, Evergreen Manor, and the Hononegah Heights Subdivisions.
September 2012
EPA has "de-proposed" the Evergreen Manor site from the National Priorities List. The site was proposed for listing on the NPL in 1998, but was later designated a Superfund Alternative Site.
In May 1999, three potentially responsible parties signed an administrative order on consent to finance a non time-critical removal action that connected 281 residences to the North Park Public Water District. EPA completed the public water hookup in 1999 and 2000, and the private wells at the affected homes were abandoned according to state code. In September 2003 a cleanup plan was agreed upon to address residual groundwater contamination at the site.
In fall 2011, the PRPs completed their groundwater monitoring program and the results demonstrated steadily declining contaminant concentrations from levels that have been below drinking water standards since 2006. Given that affected residences have been connected to the public water supply, a county ordinance restricts the installation of private wells in the area, and contaminants of concern have remained below remedial standards since 2006, in September 2012 EPA de-proposed the Evergreen Manor site from the National Priorities List.
