Comments: The Tallahatchie County Board of Supervisors (County) has submitted a permit application to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for the operation of a new municipal solid waste transfer station, known as the Tallahatchie County Waste Transfer Station, to be located at 15660 MS Highway 35 Charleston, MS 38921. The facility will primarily accept garbage and other nonhazardous municipal solid wastes from residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional sources for temporary storage prior to transporting the wastes to a permitted solid waste disposal facility. MDEQ will hold a public hearing on the proposed project at 6 PM on March 20, 2025. This public hearing is being held at the Tallahatchie County Courthouse located at 150 Court Square, Charleston, MS 38921. The submitted solid waste permit application proposes to allow the facility to collect and temporarily store municipal solid waste, transfer the waste to long haul vehicles, and transport the waste to an approved municipal solid waste landfill. Municipal solid wastes and garbage will be offloaded and managed within a partially enclosed, three (3) walled, 2,300 square foot building. The total property area to be owned by the County is approximately 51.89 acres. The approved service area for the facility, as approved by the Tallahatchie County Board of Supervisors, includes Tallahatchie County and the municipalities therein. Additionally, the site will provide a drop of location for the collection of waste tires from local residents and other small quantity generators.
