Title:  

Western Lion and Service Disposal Landfill Sites Controlled Prairie Burn, Charleston, Illinois

 
 Volume/Number:  2007 March 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Illinois EPA has scheduled the first controlled prairie burn for early to mid-April 2007 (dependent on certain weather conditions) at the former Western Lion/Service Disposal Landfill site. A burn was scheduled for spring of 2005, but was cancelled due to lack of adequate vegetation. The site is located at the intersection of Coles County roads 1100E (Loxa Road) and 900N (Route 316) about 1 miles northeast of Mattoon. The controlled burn, which may take one to three days, 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 shallower root systems than the mix of prairie plants on the landfill cap.
