Adjusted Standard

Dear Ms.
Gunn:
I
write
to
support
the
adjusted
standard
petition
submitted
by
Jo’Lyn
Corporation and
Falcon
Waste
&
Recycling,
Inc.
Jo’Lyn
and
Falcon
use
granulated
bituminous
shingle
material
(GBSM)
to
produce
a useful
and
clean
paving
product.
GBSM
is
a
clean
and
consistent
material
generated
at
the
end
of
the
manufacturing
of
roofing
shingles.
GBSM
contains
no
post-consumer material,
and
is
not shingle
tear-offs.
Jo’Lyn
and
Falcon
purchase
GBSM
from
shingle
manufacturers,
and
then
use
a
grinding
and
compaction
process
to
create
a
paving
product
called
Eclipse
Dust Control.
Eclipse
Dust Control has
a number of
applications,
including
paving
of driveways,
parking
lots,
feed
lots, and
bike and walking paths.
The paving product is proven effective.
There
is no downside to the process
used
by Jo’Lyn and
Falcon:
it converts GBSM
into
a useful
paving
product, which
is proven effective,
while
utilizing
a
material, which
might
otherwise
be
landfilled
for the lack of a
market.
There
is a demonstrated
market for the
pavin~product~and
Jo’Lyn ~nd Falcon have standing orders for the product.
I
urge the
IPCB
to
grant this
petition for
adjusted
standard.
Jo’Lyn
and
Falcon
use an
innovative
process
which
is environmentally friendly,
and
provides
a
market for
GBSM.
Granting the petition for adjusted
standard will allow Jo’.Lyn and
Falcon
to
continue using
this innovative process, while also protecting the environment.
Sincerely,
~3eanetteHamilton
