DISSENTING OPINION (by J.D. Dumelle):

My reasons for dissenting have to do with the wide

discrepancy between the testimony on the need for the landfill

and the official IEPA report on the same subject (Criterion No.

1).

Two engineers employed by the landfill applicant testified

that the remaining capacity was “minimal” or “two years based on

our calculations”. (R. 52, 58). Yet the official IEPA report

issued March 8, 1988 (Ex. 10) showed a 1987 remaining capacity of

16 years. This is now 1990 and thus 3 years should be subtracted

from that 16 year capacity figure. To me, 13 years of remaining

capacity is an ample amount to justify reversal on Criterion No.

1.

IL is important to note that the capacity information in the

IEPA report was furnished by the applicant. Thus the applicant’s

two witnesses are contradicting the applicant’s previous data

submitted to IEPA.

All gate receipts at landfills must be accurately reported

and a charge is levied on the quantities recorded which is paid

to IEPA. Has the available capacity at this landfill dropped

from “13 years” to “2 years’t because of underreporting (and

consequently underpayment) of quantities received?  urge IEPA

to investigate this marked discrepancy.

Finally, I would have taken official notice of the 1989 IEPA

report on landfill capacities for whatever ft shows on the

subject of the need for the instant landfill.

For these reasons I dissent
