JEFFERSON CITY, MO, NOV. 9, 2004 -- The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has received an application from G. T. Management, LLC to construct the McDonald County Transfer Station. The proposed site is located east of Highway 71 on Little Missouri Hollow Road, south of Jane, McDonald County.

The proposed transfer station would be used to receive non-hazardous municipal solid waste, demolition and construction waste, and commercial waste. The waste would be transferred from collection trucks to larger carriers and then transferred to a permitted solid waste disposal facility.

The Department of Natural Resources reviews all applications submitted by cities, counties and private owners to ensure that solid waste transfer stations are properly designed and constructed. Other technical factors that protect Missouri's environment are also examined.

The department has placed a copy of the permit application package in the McDonald County Library, 808 Bailey, Pineville, Mo., for public review.

Questions and comments regarding the proposed transfer station or the department's role in regulating solid waste transfer stations may be sent to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Solid Waste Management Program, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176 or phone Steven Wyatt at 800-361-4827 or 573-751-5401. For more information on solid waste issues, visit our web site at www.dnr.mo.gov/alpd/swmp.
