The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has indeed lifted the Seal for Taylorville Kroger to get work done, but there is a lot of work that must be done.  In a 57-page guide from True North Consultants, work was highlighted that needs to be done in order for the grocery store to reopen. The seal was lifted for certain people to come in and start work on it between October 5th and October 19th but work is expected to last much longer than that. The Seal order has the list of those who have been authorized entry into Kroger. 

In a statement from the Press Secretary of Attorney General Kwame Raoul, Jamey Dunn-Thomason, the seal order has been modified and remediation and abatement activities are being conducted.  This will allow time for the store to be decontaminated and allow for a safe reopening.  The time required for the completion of the work and safe reopening of the store will depend on the progress made by Kroger's consultants and workers in completing all of the tasks laid out in the Action Design Plan.  Dunn-Thomason says the Attorney General’s Office priority is protecting the health and safety of shoppers and Kroger employees.
