About this file
The document is an attachment titled "Landfill Prairie Seed Mixture" associated with the Dane County Department of Waste & Renewables' Infrastructure Upgrades and Solar Array Installation project for the closed Verona Landfill. The attachment presents a detailed Native Pollinator Friendly Seed Mixture specification, listing 18 different native plant species with their scientific names and precise percentage composition for the landfill site. The seed mixture includes grasses like Side-oats Grama (12%), Switch Grass (13%), and Little Bluestem (20%), as well as flowering plants such as Black-eyed Susan (20.50%) and Butterfly Weed (0.25%), totaling 8.00 PLS (Pure Live Seed) pounds per acre.
The seed mixture appears designed to support pollinator habitats and ecological restoration at the closed landfill site, aligning with Dane County's broader environmental goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to sustainable land management practices. The carefully curated mix of native grasses and wildflowers will likely provide ecological benefits such as soil stabilization, biodiversity support, and habitat creation for local pollinators, complementing the county's renewable energy and sustainability initiatives for the Verona Landfill site.
