After lime spill cleanup, Sullivan council authorizes IEPA compliance commitment to prevent recurrence
Summary
Following a lime pit overflow into a creek, the city reported cleanup work is complete and approved an IEPA compliance commitment; the city said it has rerouted piping into the old lime handling system and will take further work to prevent future discharges.
The Sullivan City Council discussed and unanimously authorized the Mayor to sign an IEPA Compliance Commitment Acceptance letter after a lime spill at the water treatment plant resulted in lime entering a nearby creek.
Council members said the cleanup has been completed and that the city has begun preventative measures, including rerouting piping into the old lime handling system; additional work is planned to ensure only clean water is discharged into the creek. Officials characterized the agreement as consistent with prior EPA agreements the city has executed, including matters related to the sewer plant.
The authorization enables staff to proceed with documented corrective measures and maintain the city's compliance record with the Illinois EPA.
