Project Green

New Florence Owner LLC applied for authorization to either discharge to waters of the state, or to operate a no-discharge wastewater treatment facility. The proposed Project Green Wastewater Treatment Facility is a domestic wastewater (i.e. restrooms) treatment facility. It is not proposed to authorize discharge or management of any industrial wastewater, including cooling water. For more information about the public comment period for the draft permit, visit Project Green Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant Draft Missouri State Operating Permit Public Comment Period, Oct. 9, 2026 to Nov. 21, 2026.

During the antidegradation review public comment period (July 2, 2026 to Aug. 3, 2026), technical comments were raised concerning impacts to the receiving waterbody. As a result, the department is holding two public meetings during the draft permit public comment period, on Nov. 18, 2026 and Nov. 20, 2026. More information about each meeting is available on our online calendar.

If the facility proposes to land apply or discharge industrial wastewater, including cooling water, in the future, a separate permit and/or antidegradation review would be required. Additionally, water usage is not regulated or restricted under the authority of the Missouri Clean Water Law and, as such, is beyond the scope of this proposed permitting decision.
