Hazardous Waste Forum

The Hazardous Waste Forum is a stakeholder workgroup made up of representatives from the department, industry, professional consultants, environmental groups, regulatory agencies and citizens interested in hazardous waste management issues. The forum was created to help maintain open communication between department staff and Missouri citizens regarding hazardous waste laws, regulations, programs and procedures. The forum is used to improve understanding and identify, evaluate and develop ways to better protect human health and the environment.

Meetings

Meetings are held as needed and are open to everyone. Attendance at these meetings may be in person, by conference call or through Webex. The department will attempt to correct technical difficulties as they arise, but the department cannot guarantee the quality of the Webex or conference call option. The meeting will not be subject to change or repeat due to any technical difficulties.

If there are issues you would like to discuss during the meeting, you will need to notify the department before the meeting. You can do this by emailing one of the staff coordinators noted below. Individuals requiring special services or accommodations in order to attend a meeting can make arrangements by contacting one of the staff coordinators at least 48 hours before the meeting. Hearing- and speech-impaired individuals may contact the staff coordinators through Relay Missouri at 800-735-2966. Translation or interpretation services will be provided upon request at no charge. Call 573-522-9395 for assistance.
