An attorney for Texaco has outlined to the Romeoville Village Board an environmental cleanup at the corporation’s nearby refinery property.
The company is seeking a special-use permit from Will County for a planned site cleanup and rehabilitation at the property in unincorporated Lockport Township, Community Development Director Greg Anderson said.
Of special interest to Romeoville is the possibility of an effect on the village’s watershed, he said.

Attorney Lawrence Varsek said the plan is endorsed by other towns, such as Crest Hill and Lockport, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
Romeoville trustees, who are being consulted because the land is within 1 1/2 miles of their boundaries, are expected to vote on whether they approve next month.
