A Community Advisory Group (CAG) can help the Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA) and the public make better decisions on how to clean up a site. It offers EPA a unique opportunity to hear and seriously consider community preferences for site cleanup and remediation. The existence of a CAG does not eliminate the need for the Agency to keep the community informed about plans and decisions through out the Superfund process. Wauconda CAG Mission Statement: The Wauconda CAG is a citizen’s advisory group formed in response to the failed Wauconda Sand and Gravel Landfill (NPL) Superfund Site. Our mission is to actively participate in the processes of determining the full extent of this landfill’s contamination and to expedite a safe, permanent water supply for all residents affected and/or potentially affected, and to ascertain which remedial methods are needed and will be used to effectively prevent this landfill from continued failure. Our purpose is to protect human health and to be an advocate for environmental responsibility. We will work with all parties involved, we will gather data and technical assistance, and we will involve and inform the public of all aspects of this situation. Our goal is to implement timely and permanently effective solutions to these many hazards threatening our health and environment, today and far into the future. |
