Group appeals court ruling in favor of Labadie coal ash landfill
Opponents of a plan to build a 400 acre coal ash landfill near the Missouri River are still trying to block it.
A circuit court judge had ruled last month that the Franklin County Commission acted lawfully when it approved zoning changes allowing the development of the landfill. Ameren Missouri has since filed for a permit to build the coal ash landfill next to its Labadie power plant.
But the Labadie Environmental Organization is now appealing the court's decision.
