Muscatine Backs Land Reclamation Pilot Project
City officials announced a pilot Land Reclamation Project No 1 for Muscatine to convert 60 to 70 acres eight miles northeast of town from prospective landfill use to farmland. The plan seeks 25 acres of unfilling land back in productive use and depends on soil borings, county plan and zoning commission input, and county board approval. A 10 year easement would be used if the project proceeds.
