Dear Ms

. Gunn,

It is my opinion that we need to have further review in the form of a public hearing in

regards to the permit issued to U .S

. Steel's Granite City Plant granting the watershed

"rights"( PCB 06-171)

to dump million of gallons industrial waste water into horseshoe lake .

My family and I have enjoyed Horse Shoe Lake as a State Park

. not as settling basin for

heavy metals

. If you think the two concepts can coexist then prove it to me in a public hearing

.

I'm not sure how you ascertain and calibrate "significant degree of public interest in the proposed

public hearing," but I'm part of the public and I am interested to a "significant degree

." I am sure

that if there was a greater degree of awareness on the part of the public as to what is afoot here

you would see the outpouring of public interest you need

.

I will do my best to inform and create that awareness in people -

now let's do what is

right and see if your agencies action will stand up in the light

.
