The department issued a construction permit to RFJ Real Estate Holding, LLC to construct the I-55 Disposal & Recycling Transfer Station in Scott County. The transfer station will be used to transfer solid waste from collection vehicles to transport vehicles.

The site is to be located at 3200 Industrial Fuels Drive, east of Interstate 55 and County Road 302 in Scott City.

All applications submitted by cities, counties, and private owners are reviewed by the department to ensure that solid waste processing facilities are properly designed and constructed.  Other technical factors that protect Missouri’s environment are also examined.

Prior to acceptance of waste at the facility an operating permit must be issued. Questions and comments regarding the proposed transfer station or the department’s role in regulating solid waste processing facilities may be sent to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Solid Waste Management Program, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, Mo. 65102-0176.  For more information visit permitted facilities or the Solid Waste Management Program.
