Title:  

Controlled Prairie Burn, BATH, Inc. Landfill

 
 Volume/Number:  2008 February 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Illinois EPA has scheduled the first controlled prairie burn at the former BATH, Inc. 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.
