Title:  

Controlled Prairie Burn Prior-Blackwell Landfill

 
 Volume/Number:  2007 March 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Illinois EPA has scheduled the first controlled prairie burn at the former Prior-Blackwell Landfill site for April 2007. The specific date of the event will depend on weather conditions. The site is located on Perrine Avenue south of Centralia. 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.
