Ken Koon and Jacob Wolken, Environmental Scientists at GER, will co-present a session titled, “Brownfields Redevelopment of an Old Historic Rail Yard”, at the 53nd Annual Missouri Waste Control Coalition (MWCC) conference, July 12-14, 2026. The presentation involves discussion of a site that served as a railroad yard on the Missouri Pacific Railroad prior to the Civil War. Two major railroads, the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Line, settled in Sedalia MO, and the site was used for railroad purposes since the 1860’s. The site was redeveloped into a Boys and Girls Club. The project involved navigating the investigation, risk management, and capping the contamination as part of the cleanup.
MWCC has organized and held this “must attend” Environmental Conference continuously since 1972. GER’s commitment to MWCC is strong, evidenced by our exhibit booth, moderating sessions, providing door prizes, and sponsorships of the Scholarship Raffle and Sunday evening’s reception.
We hope to see you at the conference.
