Missouri Energy CenterThe Missouri Energy Center focuses on three

areas of responsibility: analyzing energy sup-plies and prices, encouraging the use of energy-efficient practices and advocating for renewableenergy resources and technologies to benefitMissouri’s environment and economy.

Center employees provide technical and fi-nancial assistance for energy-efficiency and re-newable-energy improvements; support marketdevelopment and demonstration projects pro-moting clean energy sources and technologies;and provide energy data, information and re-search on energy issues to all Missourians.

Missouri Energy Center employees work withresidential, agricultural, educational, local gov-ernment, business and industrial clients to devel-op energy-efficiency programs and measuresthat pay back the initial investment within a rea-sonable time frame. Staff members consult withthe Office of Administration and other agenciesto integrate energy efficiency into state buildingsand purchases.

The center trains other state agencies to usealternative fuel vehicles in compliance with stateregulations, and it partners with the federalClean Cities programs in Missouri’s metropolitanareas to strive for cleaner air and water throughalternative transportation fuels and technologies.Center employees also manage the mid-Missourirideshare program and connect Missouri com-muters to the carpooling program nearest them.

The Missouri Energy Center provides finan-cial assistance for energy-efficiency projects andadministers the low-income weatherizationassistance program, which serves Missouri citi-zens through 18 local agencies. The programmakes more than 2,000 low-income familyhomes more energy efficient and safe each yearby installing measures such as wall and atticinsulation, cleaning and tuning heating systems,and reducing air infiltration. The Energy Center’slow-cost energy revolving loan fund helps

schools, colleges, universities and local govern-ments finance energy-efficiency projects so thatmoney saved can be used for other public needs.

Missouri Energy Policy CouncilThe Missouri Department of Natural Re-

sources also chairs the Governor’s Energy PolicyCouncil, which was established by executiveorder. The council considers and makes recom-mendations on several issues, including: majoraspects of energy policy, energy supplies andenergy prices; consumer protections, includingconsumer education, universal access, low-income assistance funding and the impact ofregulatory changes; new energy technologiesand trends; opportunities to increase energy effi-ciency, and; opportunities to increase the use ofdiverse and clean energy supplies to improve theeconomic vitality and environmental quality ofMissouri residences, businesses, farms and trans-portation.

The Missouri Department of Natural Re-sources chairs the council, which includes rep-resentatives from several state agencies, theGeneral Assembly, the general public, utilities,business and industry, the buildings sector, labor,energy efficiency organizations, renewable ener-gy organizations/ businesses and environmentalorganizations.

State Historic Preservation OfficeMissouri’s official historic preservation pro-

gram is administered by the Missouri State His-toric Preservation Office (SHPO). As the author-ized SHPO, the office receives an annual alloca-tion of federal Historic Preservation Fund

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 529

monies from the U.S. Department of the Interi-or’s National Park Service. These funds are usedto help identify, evaluate and protect Missouri’scultural resources.

The office coordinates surveys statewide toidentify historic, architectural and archaeologi-cal resources. Significant properties identified inthe surveys may be nominated to the NationalRegister of Historic Places, the federal list ofproperties deemed worthy of recognition andpreservation. Missouri has more than 1,400 list-ings on the National Register, including morethan 19,000 individual properties. The MissouriCultural Resource Inventory is being built frominformation gathered from the survey and nomi-nation process.

As part of its federally mandated responsibil-ities, the office reviews all federally funded orlicensed projects in Missouri to ensure compli-ance with related federal legislation. The officealso administers federal Historic PreservationFund matching grants for identifying and pre-serving cultural resources. Through Missouri’sCertified Local Government program, the SHPOtrains municipalities in local preservation tech-niques and awards federal matching grants tohelp accomplish local preservation goals.

Since 1976, federal tax incentives and relat-ed legislation have promoted interest in rehabil-itating historic buildings. In 1998, that interestwas augmented and revitalized with the author-ization of state tax credits, administered by theCommunity Development Division of the Mis-souri Department of Economic Development.The federal tax credits are available to privateinvestors who rehabilitate historic buildings foruses that produce income, such as office build-ings and apartments. The state tax credits may beused in combination with federal credits forrehabilitation on income-producing property orfor the rehabilitation of non-income-producingresidential properties. The SHPO reviews bothfederal and state tax credit applications for his-toric eligibility and conformity with preservationguidelines and standards.

The SHPO also works with the MissouriDepartment of Economic Development underthe Missouri Main Street program to fosterpreservation-based economic development inMissouri’s small towns. The office also adminis-ters Missouri’s Historic Preservation RevolvingFund, a state fund that allows the department tohelp preserve endangered historic buildings.

The Missouri Advisory Council on HistoricPreservation reviews all Missouri nominations tothe National Register of Historic Places. Thecouncil advises the department director, thestate’s historic preservation officer, on historicpreservation needs, plans and issues.

Protecting and enhancing the quality of Mis-souri’s environment is the responsibility of thedepartment’s environmental divisions. The Airand Land Protection Division’s specific focus isto prevent pollution and to protect the publicfrom harmful emissions, illegal discharges andwaste disposal activities. The division assists Mis-sourians with these goals through the traditionalroles of permitting and inspections, and throughproactive efforts to revitalize contaminated sitesfor redevelopment, assisting local entities withmeth lab cleanups, environmental emergencyresponse and more.

The division administers five technical pro-grams: air pollution control, environmental serv-ices, land reclamation, solid waste managementand hazardous waste management. The divisionhas three policy-making commissions: the AirConservation Commission, the HazardousWaste Management Commission and the Land

OFFICIAL MANUAL532

Reclamation Commission and one advisoryboard, the Solid Waste Advisory Board.

Air Pollution Control ProgramThe department’s Air Pollution Control Pro-

gram carries out the policies established by theAir Conservation Commission.

The commission, through a program involv-ing four delegated local governments and citizeninput, develops strategies for bringing pollutantsdown to safe levels in those areas with excessivepollutants.

To maintain clean air in Missouri, the Air Pol-lution Control Program surveys and inspectssources of air pollution. If a source consistentlyviolates the state’s air pollution control regula-tions, it is subject to enforcement action. Thecommission can grant variances, however, toindividual operations when a strict applicationof the regulations would cause an unreasonablehardship without public benefit.

The Air Pollution Control Program also eval-uates industries wanting to locate in Missouri,predicting their emissions and their impact onthe state’s air quality and requiring restrictionson emissions where necessary.

grams. In addition, the program receives notifi-cations of environmental emergencies, providestechnical assistance for incidents involving haz-ardous chemicals, investigates contaminatedsites, conducts air quality monitoring and assistslocal agencies with monitoring.

Calls about environmental emergencies,including oil and chemical spills, are reported tothe program on an environmental emergencytelephone hotline 24 hours a day, seven days aweek at (573) 634-2436. Callers can receiveadvice and assistance. Technicians can be dis-patched to oversee cleanup, sampling or otheremergency activities.

The program operates air monitoring instru-ments at 30 locations throughout the state, per-forms air quality studies and uploads air qualitydata to the Internet for public access. Water sam-ples are collected from streams, wastewater treat-ment plants and industrial facilities that dischargeinto Missouri waterways. Various tests are per-formed to determine how the discharges affectMissouri streams. Samples are collected at bothabandoned hazardous waste sites and at facilitiesthat are actively engaged in treating, storing or dis-posing of hazardous wastes. More than 125,000total analyses are performed each year in the ana-lytical laboratory on air, water and soil samples.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 533

This includes 100,000 analyses on drinking waterfrom public water supplies across the state.

The program assists with safe-handling man-agement and disposal of hazardous chemicalsfrom clandestine drug labs. Twenty speciallydesigned collection stations are located acrossthe state to provide law enforcement a safe andsecure location to temporarily store seized druglab chemicals. The program provides clandestinedrug laboratory investigation training and healthand safety re-certification in cooperation withthe Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The program manages the Chemical Acci-dent Prevention Risk Management Program, pro-viding technical advice to help entities complywith federal law. Regulated facilities are encour-aged to adopt effective chemical accident pre-vention programs and to work with Local Emer-gency Planning Committees to prepare forpotential accidental releases.

The department’s Hazardous Waste Programprotects public health and the environment bykeeping Missouri’s water, soil and air from beingpolluted with hazardous wastes and hazardoussubstances. In addition to enforcing the statelaws passed to ensure proper management ofhazardous wastes being generated today, theprogram also oversees the state’s remedial fundfor cleanup of problem sites resulting from poorwaste management.

The Hazardous Waste Program reviews appli-cations for permits for facilities that treat, storeand dispose of hazardous waste to ensure thesefacilities conform to environmental laws and reg-ulations. The program also licenses hazardouswaste transporters that meet state requirements.

The program’s enforcement staff helps theregional offices inspect generators and treat-ment, storage and disposal facilities, and takesappropriate action to ensure a timely return tocompliance for those generators or facilities thatare out of compliance.

OFFICIAL MANUAL534

The program provides oversight for 98 haz-ardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facil-ities in Missouri. Currently, 24 are actively han-dling hazardous waste. The program maintains adatabase for more than 13,000 Missouri sites reg-istered as generators of hazardous waste. Many ofthese sites are no longer generating waste but theinformation is maintained for future reference. Theprogram also maintains the same information formore than 11,000 sites outside Missouri that haveregistered to bring their hazardous waste into Mis-souri for treatment, storage or disposal.

The program oversees cleanup activities at45 active or formerly used federal facilities inMissouri. These facilities are either U.S. Depart-ment of Energy or U.S. Department of Defensesites requiring remediation of hazardous orradioactive wastes that were disposed of prior tothe current laws and regulations. The programalso has several field offices, which allow on-sitepresence during federal facility cleanups.

The program evaluates and remediates federalNational Priorities List (NPL) sites, non-NPL sitesand sites on or proposed for the Registry of Aban-doned or Uncontrolled Sites in Missouri. The pro-gram has primary responsibility for 105 of the 154

problems. Abandoned mine lands are defined aslands mined prior to August 1977, which use100 percent federal funds for reclamation. Mis-souri’s abandoned mine land emergency pro-gram allows the Land Reclamation Program toreduce or control emergency situations in whichadverse effects of past coal mining pose animmediate danger to the public.

The Land Reclamation Program is responsi-ble for the issuance of strip mining permits relat-ed to the mining of industrial and metallic min-erals including coal, limestone, sand, gravel,clay, tar sands, barite, sandstone, granite andtraprock. As part of the permitting process min-ing companies must provide financial assuranceto the Land Reclamation Program that providesfor reclamation should the company not be ableto complete this activity. Reclamation bondsensure that sites are properly graded, replantedand maintained after mining ceases. After themining company completes all required recla-mation, the commission releases these financialassurances and relieves the responsible compa-ny of any further reclamation liabilities.

Land Reclamation CommissionThe Land Reclamation Commission is the

ruling body over Missouri’s mining requirementsset forth in three separate state statutes. Thesemining statutes protect public health, safety andthe environment from the adverse effect of min-ing and assure the beneficial restoration ofmined lands. The seven-member commissionincludes three statutory and four public mem-bers. The statutory members are the state geolo-gist, the director of the Missouri Department ofConservation and the staff director of the CleanWater Commission. With Senate approval, thegovernor appoints four public members. Onlyone member of the commission may have adirect link with the mining industry.

Solid Waste Management ProgramThe department’s Solid Waste Management

Program works to help Missourians and Missouribusinesses properly manage their solid waste toprotect public health and the environment.

The department’s Solid Waste ManagementProgram issues permits and permit modificationsfor solid waste disposal and processing facilities.Staff reviews proposed permits for facility de-sign, construction, operations and proper moni-toring controls. Program staff inspects permittedfacilities quarterly and oversees the operations ofthese facilities to ensure that they comply withthese permit conditions and do not have a nega-tive impact on human health and the environ-ment. In addition, staff investigates reports ofillegal dumping across the state. Enforcementactivities are conducted when necessary to en-sure proper solid waste management. Programstaff teaches state regulations to landfill opera-tors. Other focuses of the program include plan-ning, financial and technical assistance and edu-cational activities that inform the public of therelationship between individual consumptionand solid waste management.

Passage of Missouri’s Solid Waste OmnibusLaw in 1990 created the Solid Waste AdvisoryBoard. The membership of this board today con-sists of the chair of the executive board of eachof Missouri’s 20 recognized solid waste manage-ment districts, three citizen members and tworepresentatives from the solid waste industryappointed by the director of the Missouri De-partment of Natural Resources.

Geological Survey and ResourceAssessment DivisionTelephone: (573) 368-2100 / FAX: (573) 368-2111

The Geological Survey and Resource Assess-ment Division is responsible for Missouri’s land,water and mineral resources and their protec-tion, potential use and development. The divi-sion restores land survey monuments, providessurvey data, protects groundwater supplies,defines hazardous areas such as those subject toearthquake or catastrophic collapse and protectsthe public by assuring the construction of safedams.

The results of studies conducted by the divi-sion are available to the public through pub-lished reports, maps and other documents. Pro-fessional staff members conduct seminars, work-shops and field trips. They also are available toassist in solving a wide variety of geological,water resource, dam safety and land surveyingproblems.

The division administers a cooperative pro-gram with the U.S. Geological Survey to obtaincertain types of water resource information andmake it available to the public. It also coordi-nates with the U.S. Geological Survey on theNational Cooperative Geologic Mapping Pro-gram, a national effort to complete geologicmaps for all states at a 1:24,000 scale.

A number of activities relating to oil and gas,geological studies of waste sites, spill responses,land survey work and enforcement of welldrilling law, are funded through agreements withother agencies or supported by fees. A geograph-ic information system, operated within the divi-sion, provides information on water resources,geology, well locations, mineral resources andgeologic hazards.

Division Director and State GeologistThe division director serves as the state geol-

ogist and is responsible for ensuring that statuto-ry obligations are met. The state geologist is theadministrator of the Missouri State Oil and GasCouncil and a member of the Land ReclamationCommission, the Well Installation Board, the

Geological Survey ProgramThe Geological Survey Program assists the

citizens of Missouri by using geologic data tomanage land and water resources in an environ-mentally responsible manner. The demand forgeologic maps in the assessment of public-ori-ented projects such as waste disposal, geologichazards and groundwater resources is increas-ingly important in answering the concerns of thepublic. Accurate, reliable maps showing surficialmaterial and bedrock distribution, compositionand thickness are a vital part of resource man-agement and environmental protection. Suchwork is essential in identifying geologic hazards.The state also has a diversified mineral industry.It is important that citizens of Missouri haveknowledge of their mineral resources to makeresponsible decisions.

Staff in this program also conduct geologicfield investigations that provide technical assis-tance to the public and government agencies.These services include determining the environ-mental hazards posed by waste disposal prac-tices and spills of hazardous materials. Geologi-cal and hydrological principals also are appliedto minimizing the impact of chemical releases orwaste spills.

Staff in this program work to protect Mis-souri’s valuable supply of fresh groundwaterfrom pollution so that all Missourians can utilizeand enjoy the resources. This is done through theimplementation of the Well Drillers and Oil andGas Acts, and the Underground Injection Con-trol Regulations of the Safe Drinking Water Act.Working with industry and the public, construc-tion standards are set. This program also isresponsible for issuing permits to pump installersand the drillers of water, monitoring, mineralexploration and heat pump wells.

MIMI GARSTANGDirector, Geological Survey andRescource Assessment Division

Staff in this program also helps to protectgroundwater resources from improper injectionof fluids into the subsurface. Permits are issuedfor wells that meet construction standards, peri-odic inspections are conducted and informationis provided detailing proper injection proce-dures.

State Oil and Gas CouncilThe State Oil and Gas Council fosters,

encourages and promotes the orderly and eco-nomic development, production and utilizationof Missouri oil and gas resources, provides forthe protection of strata containing fresh water ofpresent and future value, and provides for theelimination of surface and subsurface pollutionor waste during and after drilling, producing andabandonment procedures in all wells.
