Firm hired as landfill consultants Uy Angela Burden r mnN nvwrnnicv A Milwaukee engineering firm, which has been advising the county's waste study committee, was hired this week by the McHenry County Board as consultants in connection with the application for a landfill near Huntley. On recommendation of the board's Health and Agricultural Committee, the firm of Graef, Anhalt, Schloemer and Associates was approved as consultant for the pending landfill application process. . The committee noted the urgency of hiring a consultant to review and advise the county in regard to the proposal of McHenry County Landfill Inc. Hearings on the firm's plans must be scheduled in January. The application was filed Nov. 27 and, according to statute, hearings on it must be held within 60 days of filing. The board, at its meeting last Tuesday, agreed on a joint and cooperative waste study management site inspection program, monitoring program and enforcement plan between the county and the Illinois Envoronmental Protection Agency. According to the agreement, the agency and the county recognize the ever- increasing public concern with the development and operation of waste management sites, and the fact that both bodies can approach their respective concerns by combining man­ power resources. The EEPA has agreed to delegate portions of its Inspection, investigation and enforcement functions for waste sites. The agreement terms "waste" as any garbage, sludge from a waste treatment plant, water supply treatment plant, air pollution control facility or other discarded material in­ cluding solids, liquids and semi­ solids from households, com­ mercial or industrial plants. The document points out that the term "waste management sites" does not refer to sites or portions of sites that manage "hazardous wastes.*' The agreement also does not include the hauling or transportation of waste and does not include sites owned or used exclusively by local government units within McHenry County. The agreement gives the McHenry County Health Department the authority, on behalf of the agency, to make inspections and conduct in­ vestigations of IEPA-permitted waste management sites. The health and ag committee reported to the board that such inspections could be handled within the county's budget. The agreement gives the county more control over landfill sites. Total cost of such inspections is estimated at $23,000, according to the committee. No action was taken by the board on the Waste Study Ad­ visory Committee's report to the board, which was presented that same morning. The board is expected to take action on the committee's Total Waste Management Study at its January meeting. In other business, the board upheld a recommendation of the zoning board of appeals to grant a condition use request for about 185 acres with frontage on Nish Road and Illinois 176 in Nunda Township. The petitioners plan to continue and finish a com­ mercial earth materials ex­ traction and processing operation for a limited time. The county granted the use for three years with the condition that petitioners provide a bond of $2,500 per acre and return the land to its highest and best use.

H Cold weather has essentially ended outdoor insect activity, but unfortunately several insect pests remain active indoors. Most of these are unknowingly carried into homes and can become a serious problem. Infestation chances can be reduced with a few simple precautions and control measures, however. There are several small beetles and moth larva which can infest cereal products, flour, spices, noodles, popcorn, and other products commonly stored in cupboards. Some of the more frequent pests in area homes recently included saw-toothed grain beetles, merchant grain beetles, flour beetles, and carpet beetles. All are - small, hard- shelled, and are usually most common in the larva stage, which is a wormlike grub. In­ dian meal moths are small, State park facilities to close. Most facilities at Illinois state parks, fish and wildlife areas, conservation areas and historic sites will be closed Christmas and New Year's Day, even though gates to the sites will remain open, according to Charles Tamminga, associate director for the Conservation Department's Bureau of Public Lands and Historic Sites. Persons may visit the parks and historic sites or drive through them, but museums, concessions and similar facilities will be closed, Tam­ minga said. The sites will be minimally staffed to guard against van­ dalism and to respond in case of emergencies. Public hunting at state- managed sites where hunting is allowed will be suspended for the holidays. All state-managed recreation areas and historic sites are open every day with the exception of the two winter holidays. Lodges and other private concessions located on state- managed areas will make their own arrangements concerning the holidays, Tamminga said. Most are expected to be cfosed.

Larva of these moths infest food products, while the adult moth can be found throughout the kitchen area. Birdseed is often the source of Indian meal moths. The [EXTENSION) People A/uum Contaminated cereal products and flour are common ways these insects enter homes. Dried dogfood, birdseed, and similar pet products are often overlooked but frequently are also the source of many of these pests. Just because a package is unopened does not mean it is insect-free. Inspecting new products before placing them in cupboards can prevent possible infestations. \ Sanitation is the key to con­ trolling all of these insect pests. If insects are found in the kit­ chen, take everything out of the cupboard and inspect throughly. Discard anything that shows signs of being infested. Clean out cupboards and cabinets to get rid of small food particles and insects. Vacuum crevices and cracks and dispose of material picked up. Care should be taken to keep food storage areas as clean as possible.

Insecticides can be used after thoroughly cleaning all storage areas, but are not an absolute necessity. Pyrethrin sprays, diazinon, or propoxur (Baygon) can be sprayed into cracks and crevices. Allow them to dry and put fresh shelf paper in place. Use extreme caution when applying pesticides in areas where food or utensils are stored. Read the label thoroughly .. before doing anything, and only spray out-of- the-way places to avoid contact with dishes, utensils, or food. A frequent problem in homes this time of year is a variety of insects coming in on firewood and becoming a nuisance. In­ cluded are borers (beetles), carpenter ants, woodroaches, and occasional others. These insects usually will not live long in the home. The best protection is to store firewood outdoors, not in the basement or other indoor locations. As firewood is brought into the home, plan to use it within a half an hour to help prevent insects from crawling out as the wood warms to room temperature. Never spray firewood with an in­ secticide because dangerous fumes could be released when the wood is burned.
