Bureau of Land
The Bureau of Land protects human health and the environment by regulating the transfer, storage, and disposal of waste and by overseeing the cleanup of contaminated properties. The Bureau of Land permitting programs regulate a wide range of waste related activities, including those involving municipal waste, landscape waste, composted material, construction and demolition debris, potentially infectious medical waste, and hazardous waste.
The Bureau of Land provides direct financial and administrative support for the collection and disposal of hard-to-manage wastes such as household hazardous waste and unwanted medications. Where possible and appropriate, we support diverting materials from disposal facilities and towards re-use and recycling - including programs that address hard-to-recycle materials such as used tires and consumer electronics. The Illinois EPA regularly inspects facilities to ensure compliance with applicable standards and operating requirements. For property that has become contaminated.
The Bureau of Land oversees cleanup to ensure it is protective of human health and the environment and provides for the safe re-use of the property. Whether a Bureau program is aimed at preventing contamination or the reduction or elimination of existing contamination, everyone in the Bureau of Land has the same goal of protecting people and the environment from threats posed by environmental contaminants.
