Its origins can be traced to 1984 when Mayor Gary Anderson of Decatur, Illinois, appointed a Lake Decatur Sedimentation Control Committee. The committee recommended a selective dredging program and City financial support for soil conservation in the watershed. To the City's great credit, that recommendation was followed. Decatur continues to provide funds to the Macon County Soil & Water Conservation District for staff and cost-share projects.
