IEPA permit delay looms for Southern Illinois landfill plan
Jackson County Health Department reviews the IEPA permit for the Southern Illinois Regional Landfill expansion, with waste diversion possibly lasting months and risking a 30 000 dollar hit to county revenue. Flower says daily diversion and funding choices hinge on the permit outcome as construction remains pending and rates may rise for distant customers. Community members express concern over rising trash bills and communication gaps amid the backlog.
