County: The Greene County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is responsible, under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know act of 1986, for development of the Greene County's Hazardous Material Emergency Response Plan. Greene County LEPC conducted a Hazardous Material Flow study in August of 2015 intended to examine the methods of transportation and storage of hazardous materials throughout the Springfield-Greene County area. The possibility exists that an accident involving hazardous material can occur and is a real and ever-present concern for the community, elected officials, and public safety professionals. This study is not a detailed enumeration based on a 100% inventory of every possible possession or instance of travel through the general area. It is a snapshot based on observations and reports publically supplied by those entities identified that may carry, transport, or house hazardous materials. In addition, there is a vast network of pipelines, including four major petroleum pipelines that carry natural gas and other materials throughout the county. There are numerous rail lines throughout the

  • James River Freeway in Springfield, MO
    March 30, 2021 The Honorable Billy Long United States House of Representatives 2454 Rayburn HOB Washington D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Long, The Ozarks Transportation Organization would like to express our support of additional funds to widen James River Freeway in Springfield, MO. The freeway is in desperate need of additional lanes to solve safety and congestion issues on the roadway. With over 80,000 cars a day using the freeway, it serves as an essential arterial to get people to work and goods moving in and through our community. There have been over 804 crashes over the last ten years, which many might have been avoided if speeds were not slowed to 46 miles per hour in the evening peak hour. The region is proud of the collaboration we have in selecting projects using a data driven approach to agree on our top priorities. The cities of Springfield, Republic, Nixa, Ozark, Willard, Strafford and Battlefield along with Greene and Christian counties agree James River Freeway is a priority for the region. We must keep the freeway system moving in to keep business moving. The widening of James River Freeway will be a straightforward project, as environmental clearance is approved pending final details on sound wall locations. MoDOT has done considerable work to prepare for the construction of additional lanes from National to Kansas Expressway and construction is planned for FY22. We look forward to the completion of this important project and hope that you will request that congressional funds are directed to the widening of James River Freeway. Thank you for your service and your consideration of this project.

  • Community Profile
    Hazard Mitigation Plan Community Profile Community Profile: Introduction Jurisdiction Community Profiles Each participating jurisdiction was asked to write or update a profile that includes information like the history of their jurisdiction, demographics, future development plans and significant historic disasters. Those profiles were integrated by the Office or Emergency Management and transferred into proper format. Because of the various types and sized of jurisdictions (school districts, fire districts, and municipalities), the profiles may not include the same information. For example, smaller fire districts that are ran by volunteers may not have expansion or development plans at this time compared to larger districts with paid fire-fighters. Nevertheless, the profiles provide a basic understanding from staffing figures to a brief history of each jurisdiction. Additionally, it should be noted that a great deal of historical and demographic data is derived from Census reports. Evangel and Drury University Evangel University and Drury University are private Universities and therefore do not qualify as participants of the 2015 Mitigation Plan. Capturing their demographics was included to more accurately represent the student populations present in Greene County. April 2015 2-1.1 Introduction Hazard Mitigation Plan Community Profile Community Profile: Greene County History and Geography Greene County was named for the War of Independence hero, Nathanael Greene who was a general in the colonial army and led patriots in the south. The county is situated on the great Ozark Plateau, in the southwestern part of the State of Missouri. Greene County was originally founded in 1833 by an act of the Legislature in session at St.

MoDOT representatives visited every county in the state to gather direction and insights from Missourians on major transportation issues and priorities. To-date, over 12,000 suggestions have been received, including big picture ideas and requests for localized projects. Reaching out to Missourians to determine their thoughts and priorities about the state’s transportation system is the right thing to do. As a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars, MoDOT needs to know what Missourians think of the current transportation system and what they expect in the future. That input has directly shaped the development of this long term transportation plan.
