Bridgeton council approves amended landfill permit with city inspection condition
Summary
Council approved bill 65‑15 (special‑use/permit for a Clean Earth landfill at parts of Ferguson Lane) after adding a condition proposed by the applicant requiring inspections of Ferguson Lane by the city and repair of damage by the owner/contractor prior to permit renewal; final vote was 8–0.
The Bridgeton City Council approved an amended application for a Clean Earth landfill at 13815 and 13795 Ferguson Lane, adding a condition that the city will inspect Ferguson Lane for damage caused by truck traffic and require the owner or contractor to repair any such damage prior to issuing a renewed site‑disturbance permit.
Council member Luther moved the amendment to include an inspection provision described by the applicant; Public Works (Mister Gunn) confirmed that the city would conduct the inspections and the council later accepted language recommended by the city attorney requiring inspection by the City of Bridgeton. After tabling the bill for edits and then taking it off the table, the council voted 8–0 to adopt the bill as amended and to move it to ordinance status (recorded as ordinance 25‑37 in the meeting record).
Council discussion focused on traffic impacts, maintenance of pavements and drainage swales on Ferguson Lane between Missouri Bottom Road and Taussig Avenue, and ensuring responsibility for repairs would rest with the owner or contractor where damage is reasonably attributed to project truck traffic.
