Description: The MIG/DeWane Landfill is located in Boone County approximately one-quarter mile east of the City of Belvidere and one-half mile north of U.S. Business Route 20. Between 1969 and 1988, the 47-acre landfill received general refuse and industrial wastes, including paint sludge, volatile organic chemicals, asbestos and liquids containing heavy metals. The site was not properly closed and capped, resulting in a 5 to 10 acre depression in the middle of the landfill. The depression collected water, which drained into the landfill, resulting in over one hundred leachate seeps.
