'Ihey are presently decont~ninatin.g the chips in Amboy, They have recently nm into proble~s rai:th their operation, we have been told by thQn and the EPA that the Campax people are not taking any more chips out of their or what sta~us they have with the EPA, They carmot afford to wai~C. They have came to us and are asking us to sell 15~ CONTINUED OCTOBEIZ 16TH, 1984 them a 5 acre tract of land in the Inclustrial Park which is lot ~~22 on our proposed site. I've been talking to them about variovs storage methods and so forth. One of the 2 ccm~anies (Ca~ax & Decantamina.tian Systeqns Inc.) will be reclaimu~ the plastic chips, Dave th~n introduced three of the principal's in the company. Henry Dixan Preside~n.t, Jim Schanehard Engineer, Jim Bvrke Realtor. Mr. Dixpn explained how th.ey go~ the ccmtract with the Illinois EPA...it ~aas not a matter of luck or guess wr~rk, He said they were swccessful because we ha.ve the financial ca.pacity to and did, develop the safe systesn for deconta.- mix~a.ting the cyanide which was an the plastic film chips. As a result of o~ getting into that we looked into several areas for which we ha.ve a cansiderable interest in the field of envi.raru~~ent. And we are in tha~C field to stay. We are looking into several area.s of d~evelopmen.t of envirornnental possiblities. And ane of the area.s is a process that Ed Juracek ha.d talked about, which is taking the film and re~nmving silver nitrate fram it and then finding an alternative use for burning of the film chips, The chips are basically polyestex. We have fotmd there is a rea.l potential for the use of these polyester fibers to go into clothing, or, (if you retain the ha.llmark coating on them) you still ha.ve the plastic use of thezn. The rea.son we came upon you in such a rush, we did not expect to be inwlved in the area, Mr, J~acek is involved in. We do want to purchase ane of the lots. [~1e ha.ve the maney to pay for it, anc~ we hav~e the mon.ey to begin to clevelop a business . Mr. DixQn said tha.t it is his ~understanding that Campax is not to accept anytrore chips, they cbn't have the capacity for it, cme way or another. Any e~nployee hired will be frvm this area.. There will probably be mo mc~re then between 15-30 permaizent type ~u].1-time jobs. ~ae anticipate finishing the entire Cook cotm.ty sited chips and Lee county sited chips fram 2 to 22 weeks. As soon as that ha.pp~ns we would be imving on to our next project, and tha.t is putting our facilities here in Canton. The reason were in Canton and not in Am~oy: l. We made a canrnittrn~nt to the people who live aro~d tha.t site, if we got the project, we would move ~Che chips out of Amboy Tawnship. 2. We had to have a contract with the Illinois EPA in orc~er to get the chips and then, we pram.ised to tmve ~h~n aut . 3, The o~mers of Green River Industrial Park, they have gotten burned, beca.use they allowed the contamina.ted chips to came in. They made that a part of our agree~nent, that 30 days within the last day we treat, we have ~o ha.ve the whole factory torned dc~m. CONIIKUDTICATIONS FROM CLIFF SAGASIIZ - CITY ENGINE~R.
