Title

  • Controlled Prairie Burn Waste Hauling Landfill Macon County, Illinois

Description

  • Illinois EPA has scheduled the first controlled prairie burn at the former Waste Hauling Landfill site for late February to mid-March 2008. The specific date of the event will depend on weather conditions. The site is located west of Decatur, approximately 1/4 mile south of the Sangamon River on the north side of West Rock Springs Road. The controlled burn is necessary to eliminate accumulated dead vegetation and to stimulate new growth and diversity in the plant life. It will also eliminate invasive plant species, which have more shallow root systems than the mix of prairie plants on the landfill cap.
