Wetlands to Replace Mine Slurry Pond in Knox County
SIUC researchers partner with a coal company and Illinois Abandoned Mine Lands Council to convert the Little John slurry pond in Knox County into a 100 acre wetlands area. The project aims to create habitat for ducks and geese, test a hand planted restoration method, and offer an alternative to soil cover that is costly and unstable.
