The 78 Receives IEPA Approval for Environmental Remediation
Related Midwest has received approval from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to begin environmental remediation work at The 78, with Phase 1 expected to commence next week and continue for approximately four to six weeks near the northeast corner of the Chicago Fire stadium footprint.
Remediation materials and impacted soil will be transported via tarped trucks exiting the site southbound on Wells Street/Wentworth Avenue to 18th Street, west on 18th Street to Canalport Avenue, southwest on Canalport Avenue, then entering eastbound I-90/I-94 and continuing to southbound I-55 for disposal at a licensed landfill in Joliet, Illinois. Truck traffic will average approximately 30 trucks per day between 8:00am to 4:00pm. All trucking operations will follow CDOT guidelines, and street sweeping will be conducted as needed to minimize impacts to surrounding streets and residents. This work will not impact any programming at Ping Tom Memorial Park.
