From Quarry to Landfill in Alton

Neighbors of Alby Quarry in Alton, Illinois are pleased to learn that the years of blasting they’ve endured may finally be at its end. A new proposal has suggested converting the quarry into a construction debris landfill. During a public meeting, the proposal was discussed. A clay liner with a geosynthetic barrier would be installed to secure the site. This might be the first instance in the US of the neighbors encouraging the construction of a landfill.
