RE:
Case PCB-03-235
United Disposal Transfer Station
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are writing you this letter in connection with the Pollution Control Board matter that is
referenced above and concerns the permitting ofthe United Disposal Transfer Station located in
Bradley, Illinois.
We would like to express our view that this facility is
an important community resource.
In fact,
it is vital to the cost-effective management oflocally generated solid waste, both residential and
commercial and industrial.
This will be even more pertinent given the pending closure of
Kankakee County’s only landfill, Kankakee RDF.
We would like you to consider this view during your deliberations aboutthe future ofthe United
facility.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Green:.
Mayor
