Pekin Landfill Videos
In 2007 mud from Lower Peoria Lake that was taken to the Pekin Landfill in Tazewell County to provide topsoil for final cover. The project was on a smaller scale than the Chicago US Steel site project and used deck barges and over the road trucks. These clips show handling characteristics of mud that has been out of the water on a barge from a few hours to two days.
This video shows entire process including the excavation, handling and placement of mud from Lower Peoria Lake that was taken to the Pekin Landfill in Tazewell County in 2007 to provide topsoil for final cover. Other videos clips show individual steps, sometimes in more detail.
