Greene Valley Landfill
Made by deviousARTIST.com
Greene Valley Forest Preserve Landfill DuPage County Forest Preserve Naperville, IL Disposal operations began on October 3, 1974, and the last load of waste was received on August 31, 1996. The disposal area occupies about 200 acres, and the permitted height of the hill is about 190 feet above land surface at the highest point, which is 980 feet above mean sea level. The airspace occupied by refuse in the landfill is more than 40,000,000 cubic yards. The plant has three solar (Caterpillar) gas turbines each rated at 3,300 kWh for a total of 9,900 kWh or 9.9 megawatts. After removing the power necessary to run the plant (parasitic load) the plant delivers about 9 megawatts to ComEd power lines located at Greene Road and 75th Street. This power is enough to serve the average needs of approximately 7,500 homes or the energy equivalent of 84,000 barrels of oil per year. The plant became operational in May 1996 and is expected to produce power for at least 20 years.

Loud frogs in the bog
Made by cpmclean
While hiking we came across a little marsh that was filled with thousands of mating frogs. It was really loud! Please excuse the shaky camera work. Meg is still getting the hang of being a videographer.
