 Need help with erosion control?

Partners For Conservation (PFC)

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)

Partners For Conservation (PFC)

Assist landowners with sheet and rill erosion exceeding “T” (tolerable soil loss level), or with  ephemeral/gully erosion, in constructing projects which conserve soil, protect water quality and  reduce flooding.
 Address water quality issues related to sediment, nutrients, and other non-point source pollutants.
 In Macon County, PFC (CPP) funds have been used to: construct waterways, install block chutes,  construct terraces, plant cover crops, and a variety of other projects. If you have erosion, and are  not quite sure how to treat it, we can do a site visit, and come up with the best possible solutions for  your particular project.

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)

  Macon County, the City of Decatur, the Village of Forsyth, and the Village of Mt. Zion all maintain  MS4 permits with the state of Illinois to ensure proper stormwater maintenance and quality. WCD cooperate with our MS4 communities by participating in the MS4 Working Group where  educational events are planned and implemented, and by inspecting the erosion & sediment  controls at individual construction sites throughout the City and Villages.
