Program: Tom Engle from Duckett gave a very interesting and informative presentation as to where their current waste treatment facilities in St. Charles are located and proposed plans for expansion. They currently have a tentative agreement with the City of Foristell to develop and operate a membrane waste treatment plant south of the City on Highway T on the south side of the bridge over Peruque Creek. It is an isolated area. Kienstra Development is donating the land to the City for the plant. The plan is to start with a 150,000 gallon plant which is designed to add an additional 150,000 gallon plant as needed. The plant will be in a 60' x 100' garage type building which will actually hide the treatment plant from sight. There will not be any odor present. Once construction is approved, it will take approximately 12 to 18 months to complete the plant.
