Lake County Forest Preserve, converted from a former rock quarry. IndependenceGrove.org/
Formerly, it was the Petersen Sand & Gravel quarry, which was the site of illegal dumping (paint, paint waste, and solvents). It was listed on the National Priorities Superfund List. Testing found that previous cleanup efforts were sufficient, and the site was removed from the National Priorities List in 1991. cfpub.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=050012...
