DANVILLE – Some homeowners near Kickapoo State Park blame a nearby fly-ash dump for tainting their drinking water, and one county board member is pushing for new state laws to better regulate where and how ash is disposed.
"They should have never dumped it here – close around property and wells," JoAnn Osterbur said. She lives near the more than 380,000 tons of fly ash dumped since 1995 in a large ravine on private property in an area known as Grays Siding, just north off U.S. 150, west of the Vermilion County Fairgrounds and Kickapoo State Park.
