I am concerned about dioxins, furans, mercury, and other heavy

metals leaching from this waste. If delisting is granted, PDC will

be able to send their treated EAF to any municipal waste landfill

in Illinois. I believe this violates factors of the IL Environmental

Protection Act, which require considerations of existing physical

conditions, receiving body of water and other issues. I am strongly

opposed to this delisting request and urge that it be denied.
