Title

  • Prairie Restoration on Capped Landfills (Audio)

Description

  • An advantage of planting prairie forbs on capped landfills is that once the plants become established their long roots hold the soil in place and virtually eliminate erosion. The Illinois EPA used this alternative method of maintaining landfills in Taylorville. Interviews with prairie restoration specialists, environmental protection specialists, and IEPA project managers share the story of the planting and annual burning of former landfills, and the resulting effective and inexpensive alternative to maintaining them. 14:33
