I want to let the IPCB knowthat I strongly concur with the McHenry County Board that
Lowe’s application for a waste transfer facility did not meet three ofthe criteriarequired
by the State.
There is a large development oftownhouses Bright Oaks) that will definitely be effected
by noise, air pollution and rodent infestations. The truck traffic along Route 14 will
significantly increase with trash beingblown around the area. This facility would border
The Hollows, which is a nature conservation area and I am very concerned about
increased litter and potential groundwater pollution.
Please support the decision made by the McHenry County Board and deny Mr. Lowe’s
application ofa waste transfer facility.
Cordially,
