Solid Waste Bill Draws Criticism in Missouri Senate
In Jefferson City AP report Sen William Cason led a Senate committee scrutiny of two solid waste and environmental regulation proposals. One would let the Division of Health set rules for a state solid waste program and the other would expand Missouri Public Service Commission rules to cover public utility facilities. No action was taken. The Schramm ecology package relates to strip mining limits and cooperative landfills for small cities. Critics say the PSC regulation proposal duplicates Water Pollution Board and Air Conservation Commission authority, while utilities praise it as a one stop approval for new plant construction.
