The buzz around Richland County lately has been the proposed Yellowstone Disposal Class II solid waste landfill facility. The project is proposed on the east side of the Yellowstone River, located on 650.7 acres of privately-owned property, approximately 4.5 miles southeast of Sidney, across the highway from the Thiel Subdivision.
The Department of Environmental Quality will be hosting a public meeting from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the MonDak Heritage Center on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2018. The center is located at 120 3rd Ave. SE in Sidney. An open house will be held from 5:30-6 p.m., followed by a presentation, question and answer session and a short break. Oral comments will be taken from 7-8:30 p.m.
