Mountain Grove Campus

  1. The Department of Fruit Science operates the Mountain Grove Campus which is a rural/residential setting north of the City of Mountain Grove in Wright County.
  2. The facility is supplied drinking water from the Mountain Grove Public Water Supply. Mountain Grove municipal sewers are available within 100 yards of the campus. Stormwater runoff from the campus flows to the south into a tributary of the Gasconade River.
  3. Electricity is provided by Se-Ma-No and natural gas is obtained from Southern Missouri Gas. Solid waste is disposed of through the Wil-Co Disposal Trash Service and hauled to the Wright County Sanitary Landfill for disposal.
  4. Hazardous waste is generated in small quantities in the chemistry labs and periodically when pesticides become outdated or are no longer used. The facility is a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator and the waste is accumulated on-site for periodic removal.
  5. There are no regulated air emissions or waste water discharge permits required for the campus. A Tier II report is filed annually for pesticides that are stored on-site.
