A bill that effectively blocks the construction efforts of a landfill near the southern border of Kansas City in Raymore is heading to the desk of Missouri Gov. Mike Parson. HB 1751, passed Tuesday by the Missouri House of Representatives, establishes a one-mile buffer zone between a landfill and a large-populated area, effectively stopping the efforts of developers to build a landfill just south of Missouri 150 Highway. “The business owners that worked to build this landfill are decent, well-intentioned people who want to better their community and provide a service. I commend their actions to work with the community, the city of Raymore, and the legislature to come to an amicable agreement to draw this issue to a close,” Rep. Jonathan Patterson, R-Lee’s Summit, said. The passage of HB 1751 comes after changes in the Missouri Senate earlier this month expanded the proposed legislation to include solid waste processing facilities, demolition landfills, and sanitary landfills alongside the already proposed restrictions on solid waste disposal areas."We extend our most sincere gratitude to the lawmakers who supported and championed this legislation," Raymore Mayor Kris Turnbow said. "This measure ensures our community is protected from a threat that would have had negative impacts for generations."It also comes after the city of Raymore approved a $3.7 million settlement with South KC Acquisitions and owner Jenny Monheiser.The passage of HB 1751 was contingent upon the settlement between Raymore and the landfill developers. The bill now heads to the desk of Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, who has 15 days to act.More 'Dirty Kansas City' coverage:“Garbage juice” from trucks staining city street, woman saysKMBC 9 Investigates: Semitrailers hauling trash and recycling spilling debris onto KC-area interstatesGetting Results: Kansas City's trash problem and what you can do about itKansas City police ‘paying closer attention’ to unsecure loads on trash trailers after KMBC investigationGetting results: Grandview waste hauler making changes to trailer tarp system following KMBC 9 InvestigationCity, regional, state leaders discuss next steps for South Kansas City landfill projectKansas City mayor calls for one-year ban on landfill projects as bill stalls in Jefferson CityFilibuster stalls passage of ‘landfill bill,’ Raymore leaders will continue the fightDeveloper confirms plans for South Kansas City landfill near Jackson, Cass County border lineSouth Kansas City pastor supporting proposed landfill project, amid community debateRaymore, Kansas City residents discuss latest updates for proposed landfillDeeper concerns raised about environmental impact of potential South Kansas City landfill
