Dear Coalition Members, Speakers and Guests,

I would like to thank everyone for participating in the 45th Annual Missouri Waste Control Coalition Conference. Hopefully this conference provides you with the opportunity to socialize, meet vendors, customers, and most importantly, make new friends.

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED is the theme for this year’s conference. Our theme recognizes that not only are environmental issues often interconnected; but that the solutions are often interconnected, as well. Our conference strives to connect environmental issues with responsibility and action. The conference committee has put together a great slate of speakers this year to expand our knowledge of environmental issues and innovative solutions. Our annual conference is intended to serve as a platform to help keep industry, government officials, and private citizens informed of the latest developments in the environmental field and serve as a forum where opinions can be openly voiced. We welcome your participation and input throughout the conference.

This year’s conference would not be possible without the efforts of numerous volunteers. They have met monthly over the course of the year to plan, organize, and execute every detail of the conference. As President, I would like to thank the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors, the advisory board, the conference committee, our Executive Director Sandra Sabanske, our conference sponsors, exhibitors, partners and Coalition members for a successful conference.

Next year’s conference will also be at the Tan-Tar-A Resort. If you have any ideas or would like to be a part of the 2018 Conference Committee, please contact me, or Scott Martin, 2017-2018 President Elect and Conference Chairman.

Enjoy the conference and have a great summer,

Lisa McDanielPresident

Missouri Waste Control Coalition


Many of us come every summer for the annual Environmental Conference to showcase our products and services, to reconnect with old and new friends, and to gather cutting edge information on environmental issues. But have you ever wondered how all of this was started?

From 1972-1981, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources sponsored an annual “Missouri Solid Waste Conference” in Jefferson City. The purpose of the conference was to bring together citizens, government, business and industry to discuss the rapidly changing field of waste management. From these early conferences, the Missouri Waste Control Coalition was born, formed in 1981 through the efforts of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the University of Missouri-Columbia, and the Associated Industries of Missouri.

The Missouri Waste Control Coalition (MWCC) became the coordinating body for the annual conference and began publishing a newsletter. In 1989 the MWCC added a teacher mini-grant program to recognize the importance of education and to increase student interest in environmental issues, and sponsored an Environmental Greeting Card Program. The Coalition now provides to college students cash scholarships as well as scholarships to the conference. It has offered regional seminars from time to time and, through a grant from MoDNR, it offered special Appliance Demanufacturing Training Workshops. The past four years it has partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and presented seminars in Kansas City and St. Louis. The past three years it also offered the 40 Hour HAZWOPER Training, and has plans to continue this offering. Over the years the conference has expanded beyond solid waste issues to encompass Brownfields, Tanks, CCR and other environmental issues.

Through the hard work of its members and the leadership provided by its board, the MWCC has broadened its scope from a small gathering of individuals into an established and effective organization. You are a part of that organization, and this conference is part of a tradition that reflects more than 45 years of providing information and a forum for discussion!

SOLID WASTE TRACK Redbud RoomModerator: Mike Parris, MoDNR Solid Waste Management Program

• Selecting the Right Closure Cap Option for Your LandfillFloyd Cotter, SCS EngineersTraditional final cover and capping design for surface impoundments and landfills have included compacted soil liner, geomembrane liner, drainage layer, and a vegetative soil cover. Alternative capping options have recently emerged such as exposed geomembrane liners or synthetic turf/geomembrane liner systems. Some of these options have many advantages including faster installation times, minimal soils are needed, improved stormwater quality, and reduced maintenance and post closure costs. For surface impoundments, alternative capping designs can also greatly reduce the amount of disturbance of the existing CCR material within the impoundment.

• Eliminating Post-Closure Care Headaches . . . and Costs David Cieply, Watershed Geosynthetics

We will examine the chronic limitations of the originally defined prescriptive cover system, challenging the participant to consider opportunities for innovation and refinement. As an example of this thought leadership, we will document the specific benefits and technological advances of the ESTCS (Engineered Synthetic Turf Cover System) and how they address the limitations of the prescriptive cover system. It will also include case studies some of which presented extremely unique challenges that were easily overcome by this system.

COAL ASH AND CCR RULES TRACK Parasol II Moderator: Scott Martin, Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company

• Importance of Comprehensive Conceptual Site Model for CCR Compliance Wayne Weber, Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company

The CCR Rule includes a prescriptive timeline and key triggers associated with groundwater monitoring and groundwater corrective actions for regulated CCR units. Early identification of the potential site-specific risks and liabilities is needed to enable informed decision making and maintain compliance. This CSM can be used to identify likely groundwater release scenarios, develop and evaluate associated corrective action alternatives (as required), and estimate near and long-term costs associated with mitigating risk and complying with the CCR Rule groundwater corrective action process. Presentation will include discussion of the CSM development process along with case studies.

• Maintaining CCR Rule Compliance - Lessons Learned (So Far) Andrew Rackers, GreDeLL Engineering Resources, Inc.

Two years of CCR regulatory compliance support for coal fired power plants has resulted in many lessons learned. This presentation will highlight the more interesting lessons learned during the process. The CCR Rule was developed to be applicable across a wide range of locations which can lead to some interesting challenges for some localities. A limited discussion of CCR compliance issues for inactive and existing surface impoundments beginning with the declaration of inactive through the development of an Emergency Action Plan, and ending with compliance with the Direct Final Rule (Extension of Compliance Deadlines for Certain Inactive Surface Impoundments; Response to Partial vacatur) effective October 4, 2016, will be included.

GREEN/ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TRACK Rooms 62-64 Moderator: Mitch Stepro, Waste Connections, Inc. • The New Tallgrass Prairie Economy Carol Davit, Missouri Prairie Foundation

Tallgrass prairie is an ancient ecosystem that once covered 15 million acres of Missouri and has been reduced to 70,000 scattered acres. These remnants are powerhouses of plant and animal diversity and pollinator habitat, and provide water filtration and carbon storage benefits. In addition, these remnants provide models for new landscapes in the built environment -- multipurpose landscapes that benefit people in many ways. These landscapes also are the product of The New Tallgrass Economy -- a native landscape-based model for economic growth. Presentation will provide compelling facts about our regional, original landscape, local examples of native landscapes, and the many ways the prairie model is good for growth.

• Bees, Butterflies and Bobwhites: Connecting Conservation Priorities with High-Quality Habitat Casey Bergthold, Quail Forever

Recent concerns about habitat needs for pollinating insects — especially the honey bee and the monarch butterfly — have intersected with traditional upland wildlife habitat management, presenting an opportunity to engage new stakeholders and establish and restore diverse plant communities to benefit multiple wildlife species. Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever’s High Quality Habitat Standard provides a new model for seeding conservation plantings that increases diversity without necessarily increasing the cost. This presentation will discuss the organization’s new paradigm and show real-world examples of high-quality habitat on the landscape.

BROWNFIELDS TRACK Parasol IModerator: Catherine Jones, MoDNR Brownfields/Voluntary Cleanup Program

• Phase I and Phase II Environmental Assessments of Brownfield PropertiesChristine o’Keefe, MoDnr Expanding on the morning presentations, this session gets in to the nuts and bolts of brownfield assessments. What is meant by the terms Phase I and Phase II, how and why are they completed, what do they look for and report on, and how is the information used.

• What Do You Do After the Assessment? Brian McCurren, MoDNRThe Voluntary Cleanup Program provides professional environmental oversite for your brownfield cleanup activities. Learn how this valued program can help keep you on track, on budget and up to standards by helping plan and implement the remediation process using various cleanup alternatives.

• Waste to Resource - Chip Seal Project and Fly Ash Project Randy White, West Central Missouri SWMD/Pettis County; Dr. Mohamed Elgawady, MS&t university

Scrap tires and fly ash have the potential to be used as raw materials for innovative new products. For example, scrap tires generated in Missouri can be used in place of the limestone that is typically used for chip seal road resurfacing. Fly ash generated by the electrical industry shows promise for replacing Portland cement in concrete products. This session will provide information on two Missouri research projects using these waste materials.

COAL ASH AND CCR RULES TRACK Parasol II Moderator: Ken ewers, GreDeLL Engineering Resources, Inc.

• Case Study of Clean Closure Verification of CCR Surface Impoundments Emme Mayle, GeoEngineers; Butch Parton, Jacobs Engineering Group

Pursuant to USEPA’s CCR Rule, clean closure of excavated surface impoundments must be documented and verified. This presentation will summarize the clean closure verification process employed by the Jacobs/Geo-Engineers team at power plant sites, including sampling procedures, sampling grid layout and application of polarized light microscopy to confirm CCR removal. These procedures have been successfully implemented to document clean closure at surface impoundment sites.

• Reshaping Your Ash Pat Goeke, SCS Engineers; Ben Cummings, Radmacher Brothers Excavating

On April 17, 2015, EPA issued final rules on disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) from electric utilities, which provided a timetable and conditions that required the closure of certain surface impoundments. This presentation focuses on the considerations examined in the design of the closure plan for three CCR impoundments totaling 45 acres and the experience gained during construction of the novel design and contracting of the closure concept from both the designer and contractor viewpoints.

GREEN/ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TRACK Rooms 62-64 Moderator: Jeff Krecic, tukuh technologies, llC

• Environmental Stormwater Quality Improvement Projects - Case Studies Chris Snider, Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company

Stormwater quality improvement projects involving specialized structural BMPs are gaining popularity in certain areas of the US. This presentation will examine two project case studies: (1) Vertical Upflow Pilot Wetland for Bacteria Treatment project located in MN designed to demonstrate bacteria and other stormwater pollutant removal in a vertical upflow wetland with downstream groundwater recharge. (2) Impaired Stream Water Quality Improvement project in a critical habitat in Newport Beach, CA by removing high-selenium groundwater seeps from the stream and polishing urban runoff with bioretention and downstream wetland polishing.

• Wetland, Archeological, and Habitat Considerations for Permitting and Mitigationlindsay E. James, Blackstone Environmental, Inc.Evaluation of wetlands, streams, archeology, and habitat is a necessary component of many permitting processes that requires a multidisciplinary scientific approach, from geology to ecology to community outreach. Wetland delineation methods in commonly encountered Midwest settings such as row-cropped land; different ways to approach jurisdictional determinations based on wetland and stream scenarios; archeological assessments and situations that can lead to more in-depth archeological analysis; and habitat assessment and evaluation will be discussed. Their relationship to the overall permitting process and considerations for on-site mitigation of wetlands and streams versus compensatory mitigation will also be discussed.

SOLID WASTE TRACK Redbud Room Moderator: Charlene Fitch, MoDNR Solid Waste Management Program

• Leachate System Clogging - The Springfield Experience Nathan Hamm, SCS Engineers

The Springfield Sanitary Landfill utilizes a pumping system and 8 mile forcemain to transport landfill leachate to the Northwest Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment. The forcemain and pumping station began operation in 2011 and have pumped more than 74 million gallons of leachate to the treatment plant. In early 2016 the City noticed a reduction in system flow rate with a complete system shutdown in mid to late July. SCS was engaged to diagnose and develop a plan to restore service to the system. This presentation will discuss the approach taken to diagnose the extent of the problem.

• Soilless Landfill Cover Systems Clay Reichert, GSE Environmental

An exposed geosynthetic cover system (EGCS) is an earth-friendly and economical alternative to a conventional soil closure of a landfill. Use of these systems results in a reduced carbon footprint, improved downstream water quality and financial benefits for the owner. An EGCS consists of a gas relief layer + high-quality geomembrane or a gas relief layer + composite synthetic turf system. The benefits of this approach will be discussed.

MONDAY, JULY 17



COAL ASH AND CCR RULES TRACK Parasol II Moderator: Anna Custer, Pace Analytical Services, Inc.

• Installation of a Groundwater Monitoring System at a CCR UWL in Karst Terrain Justin Brown, GeoEngineers; Chris Hickman, Jacobs Engineering Group

Karst terrain at CCR landfill sites create unique challenges for groundwater characterization and design and installation of groundwater monitoring systems. Detailed geophysical investigations employing electrical resistivity tomography, multi-channel analysis of surface waves and 3-D modeling of geophysical results can be used to locate monitoring wells in preferential flow pathways, which maximize the effectiveness of the groundwater monitoring system while minimizing the number of monitoring wells installed.

• Structural Considerations for In-Place Closure of CCR Impoundments Don Grahlherr, Tetra Tech, Inc.

Many CCR Impoundments will be triggered to close over the next three years. We will cover the major slope stability requirements in the CCR Rule and methodologies for their evaluation, and discuss how the results pertain to a successful in-place closure. Considerations of stability during closure construction will also be discussed, including pre-planning and impoundment preparation, benefits of a Ground Control Plan to guide safe execution of construction over impounded CCR, and associated best practices. Additionally, enhancements to address stability and deformation issues, and achieve successful in-place closure will be covered.

• Coal Combustible Residuals Radiochemistry Justin Hensley, Pace Analytical Energy Services

The presentation will include a discussion regarding radioactive isotopes, the differences in radiochemistry and standard analytical chemistry, and how to read and understand radiochemical results. Interested parties will learn about sampling and analysis for Radium-226 and Radium-228 and why these radioactive isotopes are important and included in the CCR background study.

GREEN/ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TRACK Rooms 62-64 Moderator: James Price, Spencer Fane llP

• Latest Trends in State and Federal Environmental Enforcement and Permitting James Price and Andrew Brought, Spencer Fane llP; Katie Jo Wheeler, MoDNR General Counsel, David Cozad, uS EPA Region 7 Regional Counsel

Some say the Trump Administration’s EPA will pursue different directions from those of the Obama Administration’s EPA. However, other things are unlikely to change significantly. At the same time, Missouri has a new governor, new MoDNR director, and (potentially) new priorities. Thus, MoDNR and EPA will connect and forge new relationships and new ways of addressing environmental stewardship. Additonally, EPA, OSHA, and the Department of Justice have joined forces in a worker safety initiative to protect workers exposed to hazardous environmental conditions on the job.

• Challenges in Exhuming a Superfund Landfill timothy Curry, Advanced Disposal Services

This presentation will describe the history of the Land & Gas Reclamation Landfill (LGRL), including its designation as a Superfund site, the groundwater impacts associated with the LGRL site, and the challenges associated with acquiring approval to proceed with the exhumation project and the associated expansion in that area. The presentation will also include a review of the issues encountered while completing the three phases of waste relocation and the expected short and long term environmental impact of the waste exhumation.

• Selection of Geophysical Survey Investigation Method for Identifying Sand Blows in the New Madrid Seismic Zone for Siting a Landfill Travis Doll, GreDeLL Engineering Resources, Inc.

Geomorphological features of past seismic activity can be observed throughout the Missouri “Bootheel” in a region known as the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ). This presentation will focus on the process for selecting ground penetrating radar (GPR) as the preferred geophysical survey method to identify and locate subsurface vents leading to the development of potential morphoseismic features within a 100-acre area. The findings of the GPR survey for siting a proposed landfill within the area will also be discussed.

REMEDIATION TRACK Parasol II Moderator: Anna Custer, Pace Analytical Services, Inc.

• Understanding the Connections between Contaminants, Geochemistry, Isotopes and Molecular Biology for Site Cleanup Justin Hensley, Pace Analytical Services

Successful site remediation requires complex analyses of the subsurface to learn about the degradation mechanisms active at a site and the dynamics that support that degradation. Increasingly it is being found that there are multiple degradation mechanisms at a site. In response to this need our lab has developed the Remediation Test Panel (RTP). The test panel is patterned after OSWER 9200.5-17P requirements and tailored to the contaminants present.

• Choosing the Right Remedial Action for Your Site Shane Strope, terracon Consultants, Inc.

Even though process may vary, protecting human health and environment is the ultimate goal of any environmental evaluation. Site remediation is designed to leave behind viable land that can be redeveloped into a useful and productive space that benefits the surrounding community. This presentation will review some popular soil and groundwater remedial techniques currently used in the environmental industry. Remediation of soil and groundwater is not a definitive science. What works for one site may not work for another, and anticipated results cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, choosing the right remedial action is a key component

• Minimizing Hazardous Waste Isn’t Just a Regulatory Requirement - It’s Good for Business Chuck Kroeger, GeoEngineers

Yes, hazardous waste minimization is a regulatory requirement. When you sign a manifest, you certify “the waste minimization statement identified in 40 CFR 262.27 is true.” Even if you didn’t have to do it, though, waste reduction can be very beneficial and cost effective to your business. The benefits include reduced spill concerns, less cleanup costs, less down time/lost work, less potential for worker exposure (injuries/health effects), reduced disposal costs, and more. We will discuss waste minimization options to accomplish these goals.

• How to Treat Hazardous Waste Without a Permit (and get away with it)! Julie Marks, Barr Engineering Company

Most facilities do not treat hazardous waste because they would be required to obtain a RCRA Permit; however, the RCRA definition of “treatment” is confusing and facilities may find themselves wondering whether their handling practices fall under the RCRA definition of treatment. This presentation will take a close look at the definition of treatment, examples of what is treatment and is not treatment, and discuss the requirements of the treatment exemptions.

TANKS TRACK Parasol I Moderator: Ken Koon, MoDNR tanks Section

• LNAPL Conceptual Site Models: A Case Study Bobbi Koepke, Environmental Works; Steve lang, MoDNR; lisa loftis, Williams & Company Consulting, Inc.

As the science of LNAPL recoverability has improved, evaluations of older sites are often complicated by a large volume of older data that often wasn’t collected in accordance with today’s standards, but is relevant to understanding the LNAPL conceptual site model (LCSM). This case study examines a recent (July 2016) LCSM submitted for a former tank site located in Springfield, MO with almost 20 years of active site characterization and remediation to address small amounts of periodically occurring LNAPL. The presentation will include a brief history of the site, summary of LNAPL recovery methods and effectiveness, and an overview of the qualitative portions of the LCSM. MoDNR and PSTIF will also speak from the viewpoint of the regulator and financial stakeholder.

• Tanks Update Laura Luther, MoDNR

This will be an update regarding various topics for Tanks regulated community and consultants.

• Closed Sanitary Landfills - What Happens in 10-20-30 Years and Beyond! Rickie Roberts, GreDeLL Engineering Resources, Inc.

This presentation will briefly review the anatomy of the closed municipal solid waste “sanitary landfill” (both the pre- & post RCRA Subtitle D design criteria). It will discuss how a closed sanitary landfill remains connected to the air, land & water (surface-water and groundwater). Two closed sanitary landfill case studies will be presented to illustrate what’s going on at 20 years after “official closure.” The presentation concludes with a discussion of projected potential impacts of closed sanitary landfills during the post-closure period & beyond.

• Sustainable ET Landfill Covers - Grassland/Woodland Ecosystem Based Design Charlie Sedlock, Hamm Sanitary landfill; Mike Kukuk, Blackstone Environmental, Inc.

In 2005, the Hamm Sanitary Landfill concluded that maintaining a “lawn” of cool season grasses would be very costly and time consuming to maintain. A less maintenance Intensive “native grass” evapotranspiration cover design was pursued. This talk details the design challenges and successes of the design and construction of one of the few Alternative Caps in the United States using both Trees and Deep Rooted Native Grasses (Prairie Grasses).

• Preliminary Evaluation of Natural Attenuation Utilizing Field Instrumentation Neal Farrar, Sunbelt Environmental Services, Inc.

Portable field instrumentation coupled with chemical data was utilized to preliminary evaluate Natural Attenuation (NA) within a dissolved petroleum hydrocarbon plume located in northwest Missouri. This evaluation was used to determine if NA should be considered for additional evaluation and data collection at the site. This preliminary evaluation was used to better understand the geometry and the fate and transport of the dissolved plume.

• E-Start (Environmental Site Tracking and Research Tool) Don Cripe, MoDNRThe Missouri Environmental Site Tracking and Research Tool (E-START) online map represents a change from only displaying hazardous clean-up sites to including sites where assessments were conducted or where known storage tanks were present. E-START allows users to conduct searches of these sites by county, city, zip code, address or by site name. This allows redevelopment of property to its most appropriate use. Additionally, the inclusion of over 17,000 Regulated Petroleum Storage Tank Facilities and Inactive voluntary Cleanup Sites greatly increases the number of sites available to review.

SOLID WASTE TRACK Redbud Room Moderator: Mike Parris, MoDNR Solid Waste Management Program

• Landfills and the Clean Air Act Gary Bertram, uS EPA Region 7

Utilizing multiple detection and analysis tools, EPA has identified landfill gas issues at some municipal solid waste landfills. This presentation will provide an overview of key Clean Air Act compliance requirements for MSW landfills and examples of recent settlements that address both compliance and community concerns.

• Minimize Your Leachate, Maximize Your Money! Doug Doerr, SCS Engineers

Many landfills directly discharge their leachate at publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) for a relatively low cost. However, as more stringent discharge limits are implemented at wastewater treatment plants, lower limits are pushed “up the pipe” to landfills. Leachate disposal costs typically represent the highest operational expense for a traditional Subtitle D landfill in the Midwest. This presentation will cover engineering and design considerations related to cell design and sequencing, storm water management, operations, and construction that can be used to minimize leachate generated at landfills.

Sustainability has become a very important part of business planning. This presentation will cover the connection between sustainability and the nation’s most common method to manage hazardous wastewaters. It will also cover the “Triple Bottom Line” of sustainability and some principles, ideas, and strategies of how to reap “profits” on the Triple Bottom Line. An interesting example of achieving sustainability is the use of Class 1 Underground Injection wells.

• Environmental Technology Resources, ITRC Guidance Documents and Training Michael Sieczkowski, JRW Bioremediation

The environmental assessment and remediation industry has matured over the past 50 years to include a myriad of technologies that have been used to address contaminants ranging from petroleum hydrocarbons to mining waste and PFAS in situations as diverse as surface contamination to groundwater in bedrock. Since 1995 the Interstate Technology Regulatory Council has sponsored teams that research and evaluate technologies and publish documents to broaden and deepen technical knowledge to expedite quality decision-making. The quality of the ITRC products has made the group the “go to” organization for information on innovative technologies and approaches. This presentation will give an overview of the Team process and will present some of the products available through ITRC along with a brief example of the Internet training available.

GREEN/ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TRACK Rooms 62-64 Moderator: Kristin Allan tipton, EIERA

• Assessment Strategies for Urban Redevelopment and Land Clearing Projects Doug Dreiling, SCS Engineers

Building on industry standard site assessment practices, the key objectives of an enhanced and effective site-specific data collection strategy include a thorough front-ended identification of environmental impacts, pre-characterization of wastes to be generated during the construction phase and clear communication with contractors to meet OSHA Hazard Communication requirements. This presentation explores varying techniques for achieving these objectives to minimize the potential for “environmental surprises” and to facilitate the overall project schedule.

• From Brown to Green - CPR for Properties in Sheol Ray Stillwell, Green Investment Group, Inc.

GIGI is dedicated to developing brownfields in a manner that complements community needs, and is committed to working in partnership with local municipalities, associations and businesses to bring the best oprtunities to the area. This presentation will present various case studies.

OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

CONTINENTAL CEMENT COMPANY/GREEN AMERICA RECYCLING

Continental Cement and Green America Recycling have a long history of community outreach and promoting employee engagement.

Land Stewrdship Activities: As a Wildlife Habitat Council Conservation Certified site, in 2016 Continental Cement identified 11 plots of land on the 3500 acre property that could be improved for wildlife enhancement. Site employees participate in wildlife management as a result of the site’s Wildlife Habitat Council Conservation site certification. In 2016 11 plots of land were identified on the 3500 acre property that could be managed in a way to better benefit wildlife inhabiting the areas. Working in collaboration with the Missouri Department of Conservation Continental Cement Hannibal was able to develop a Forest Stewardship Plan which maps out 1,032 acres of land that will benefit from additional invasive species mitigation.

Outreach Activities: In 2016 Continental Cement Company hosted over 300 visitors on site. These visitors included students’ grades k-college as well as local historical societies, clubs and organizations. While on site, these visitors learned about the cement making processes such as the chemistry, raw materials, and environmental benefits of supplemental waste fuel use. A-1 quarry is a previously mined limestone quarry that is used as an outside classroom for geology and rock formation education. While in the quarry, students are encouraged to dig for fossils left from the Mississippian period; at which time the earth was covered in water. Students have found fossils of crinoids, horned corals and even star fish in the quarry.

AWARDS

JAN DILLOW COALITION CONTRIBUTION

This special award recognizes an individual whose efforts have contributed significantly to the development and growth of the Missouri Waste Control Coalition. The award honors former president, Jan Dillow, one of the founders and key leader in the development and success of the Coalition.

LARRY “BOOT” PIERCE

Boot served as President of the Missouri Waste Control Coalition in 2013-2014 and was the Conference Chair in 2012. He has long been involved with the Coalition and environmental activities and demonstrated a high interest in education which was also evident in his other activities. He expanded MoDNR’s participation in the conference and MWCC through the Missouri Geological Survey. He is an adjunct instructor at East Central College and owner of Rainwater Fly Fishing, LLC which provides instructional classes.

Address: Missouri Geological Survey, P.o. Box 250, Rolla, Mo 65402 573.368.2143, [email protected]

In Memory of Jan DillowIt is my sincere privilege to reflect on memories of our dear friend and coalition partner, Jan Dillow. My first encounter with Jan happened while in my “formative” early years with Missouri DNR, at the beginning of the Coalition coming together as an organization and hosting the annual Waste Management Conference. As I recall, I had been nominated for award in my DNR capacity for involvement in the dioxin episode. This attractive, personable, dedicated and energetic lady named Jan congratulated me. She encouraged my further involvement in this newly emerging group. I remember being intrigued and flattered by this episode and became involved with MWCC ever since.

As I soon discovered, Jan was a cornerstone of the organization and a central part of the fabric of MWCC. She embodied an enthusiastic and wholehearted interest in the business of progressive waste management. She also had a commitment to engaging constructive dialogue with all interests, which was the core and essence of the Coalition. I was also privileged to work for a period in the same corporation with Jan in the early days of the Heritage organization. I found Jan to be the same dedicated professional as the company, the industry and the cause of progressive environmental movement was at large.

Jan was an integral fixture at all the conferences until her illness took her from us. My memories include her actual delivery of the Kansas City strip steaks procured and hauled to the legendary picnic events. She even attended to those of us ‘pit slaves’ in the early years of hand grilling by cooling us down with wet towels. That was Jan—involved with all aspects from big picture to the details—and always putting people first.

It is with sincere fondness and respect that I am proud to call Jan now what I proclaimed her then, the “Godmother” of the MWCC. I believe she is smiling now on us as she did then upon hearing this term of endearment. Thank you again, Jan for everything.
