from Al

make

that kind

of long

trip

over

highways, and

making

the

trip

to

other landfills

is

proving

very

costly

to

Sutter.

The

proposed

transfer station

would be

a site

where

his garbage

trucks

would

be

unloaded,

and

the

refuse

then reloaded

into

semitrailers to

be hauled

away.

PCB hearing officer Bradley Halloran con-

ducted

the

appeal

hearing Thursday

in

the

Effingham County

Board

room. Appeals

from both Landfill

33

and Stock

were consol-

idated into one hearing.

Public

comment will

be

considered by

the

PCB

if postmarked

by Jan.

3.

Attorneys

for

both

sides

must file

post-hearing briefs

by

Jan.

10. Replies

to

those briefs

must be

filed

by

Jan.

17.

Halloran

said

the

PCB

will

make

its

decision

when

it

meets Feb. 20

in Chicago.

Halloran

said transcripts

of

the

hearing will

be

available

Dec. 24

on

the PCB

Web site at www.ipcb.state.il.us.

Thursday’s

hearing

included testimony

from

a man who

lives

across the

road

from

the

proposed

transfer

station,

as

well

as

from

Tracy

Sutter

of

Sutter

Sanitation

and Duane

Stock of Stock

& Co.

Landfill 33 representatives did

not tes-

tify Thursday.

Lloyd Stock,

a relative of Duane Stock who leases a home

across

the

road

from

the

proposed

transfer

station,

said

the

stationwould have a negative impact on the immediate area.

“I’m concerned

about

the

impact that

the

transfer

station

will

have,”

Lloyd

Stock

said.

He

added

that

he

was

“con-

cerned and

disappointed” about the situation.

Lloyd Stock added that he already has seen

garbage trucks

pulling

into

the

transfer station

site.

Sutter

uses the

site

as

a

drop-off recycling center.

Duane

Stock,

who owns the home

that Lloyd

Stock lives

in,

said he had been hampered by

not being able to receive a

copy

of

the

transcript

from

the

siting

hearing until

late

November.

“That put us at a disadvantage,” Stock

said.

The

mobile home

at

which

Stock

resides

is

within

1,000

feet of the proposed site

—

which

is a violation of

IPCB sit-

ing criteria. However,

the

home did not exist

at the time the

county board approved Sutter’s

permit. Lloyd

Stock had the

home placed on

the

property shortly after the board awarded

the permit to Sutter.
