Residential, agricultural, recreational, commercial, and industrial properties comprise the area within 4 miles of the site. Within one-quarter mile north and west of the site are approximately 31 homes. Runoff from the site drains south into the Sangamon River and into the Sanitary District land. The ditches that parallel Wyckles Road also drain into the Sangamon River. The site is partially fenced, but the fence is in poor condition in spots.
Vegetation covers portions of the site.
Old waste disposal equipment and other scattered debris pose physical hazards on the site. The site was leased to the Macon County Landfill Corporation from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s. The site was used for landfilling industrial and municipal wastes and operated as an open dump and landfill. Liquid industrial waste was allegedly disposed in a pit on the site. A construction firm operated on the site from 1962 to 1980.
