Landfill site for late February or March 2008. The specific date of the event will depend on weather conditions. The site is located on the west side of Highway 48 along the south bank of the Sangamon River. The controlled burn is necessary to eliminate accumulated trees 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. | | | | Date Created: | 05 02 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #4 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041801 Original UID: 21583 FIRST WORD: Controlled | |
