Environmental Assessment: Mackinaw River Dredged Material Placement Site, Lonza. Inc. (Illinois River Mile 147.8)

Abstract

The site is a 10-acre parcel of land (1,500 feet long and 100 to 300 feet wide) near Mapleton, Illinois. It has been selected as the potential location for the new upland dredged material placement site for dredging activities in this vicinity. Situated between a highly developed industrial area and the Illinois River, the site is bordered by a Caterpillar Company levee on the west side and Pond Lily Lake (also known as Bootjack Lake) on the east side. Development of this site will facilitate the removal of material from the floodplain by pumping it to this upland placement site. The stockpiled material is then in an accessible location and can be removed at the discretion of the property owner.
