Subject:

Case PBC 2006-184

We are against the expansion of the PDC landfill due to the proximity of toxic

waste to our drinking water supply

. Long term, an earthquake or other natural event

could break any type of installed liner and cause severe contamination to the aquifer

. At

some point in time, this landfill will probably be totally excavated due to its dangerous

location .

Other methods must be found to deal with the hazardous waste generated and sent

to the PDC landfill . Reducing the toxicity by treatment and then burying large amounts

of this toxic mass adjacent to a primary drinking water supply and regional asset is not

the answer

.

We support the Peoria County Board's decision to deny the request for a

hazardous waste landfill expansion .
