Owned by utility company Evergy, the Montrose Generating Station Utility Waste Landfill is a coal combustion residuals landfill in Henry County. The Missouri Department of Natural Resource permits and regulates this site through multiple state and federal environmental regulations. The power plant has been decommissioned, but the landfill is still in operation. It receives ash from other Evergy facilities, mainly from their Hawthorn Power Plant.
