JEFFERSON CITY, MO, NOV. 14, 2018 - The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has issued a construction permit to Chad and Sara Henson to construct the Henson Transfer Station in Butler County.

The Henson Transfer Station will be located at 15 Industrial Park Road, approximately two miles east of U.S. Highway 67 off County Road 302, near Poplar Bluff in Butler County.

Other technical factors that protect Missouri's environment are also examined. Prior to accepting waste at the facility, an operating permit must be issued.
