Dear Illinois Pollution Control Board,

I am writing to ask you to carefully review the Illinois EPA renewal of

the Peoria Disposal Company's operating permit. This renewal permit

should NOT allow the PDC to expand operations or push the anticipated

closure date further into the future.

This Peoria hazardous waste landfill soon should be completely closed and

you should ask the IEPA, as landfill operations continue, to require

additional monitoring of groundwater and air emissions and also require

that monitoring results be analyzed by an independent laboratory rather than

by the Peoria Disposal Company.

This landfill is a long term hazard to the local aquifer over which it is

located and the continued operation of this landfill increases this hazard.

Sincerely,

Frederick

R.
