DANVILLE – The Resurrection Catholic Cemetery Association and Provena United Samaritans Medical Center in Danville will pay a $100,000 fine for environmental code violations stemming from the improper handling and disposal of human body parts at the cemetery more than five years ago.
The Illinois Pollution Control Board in December accepted stipulation and settlement agreements between the Illinois attorney general's office and the cemetery and hospital. It also ordered the two local organizations to share in the fine and "cease and desist" from further violations, which a hospital spokeswoman said happened a long time ago.
