JEFFERSON CITY, MO, DEC. 11, 2006 -- The Missouri Department of Natural Resources will hold a public session from 7 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 9, at the Bowling Green R-1 School located at 700 W. Adams St., Bowling Green.
The department will explain the permitting process for landfills during the session. Representatives from the department's Solid Waste Management Program, Division of Geology and Land Survey, and Northeast Regional Office will be available to answer questions. The meeting is intended to provide information regarding the landfill permitting process, however, no site-specific information regarding the expansion will be available.

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