County planner battles illegal dump sites across county
Franklin County planner Larry Walrod leads a long fight against nine confirmed illegal dumps and as many as a dozen suspected sites. Cleanups costed nearly $20,000 for a Peoria site, hauling 320 tons of household waste plus mobile home frames, scrap metal, and 350 tires. Notices give owners 30 days to comply, with cases moving to the county attorney after repeated failures. Walrod notes the issue hampers the county Comprehensive Plan and that many property owners resist, requiring persistent outreach and occasional salvage-yard permits.
