Subject: McHenry County Waste Transfer Station

Dear Dorothy Dunn:

We wanted to let you kflow that we fully support the McHenry County

Board’s decision to deny Marshall Lowe’s application for a waste

transfer facility next to Cary, Illinois along Illinois Route 14. The

location is adjacent to a sensitive conservation area, the Hollows, and

is just over 1000 feet from the largest residential subdivision in Cary.

The location also borders a parcel of land that has been approved for

residential and commercial development.

The proposed waste transfer facility is too small, would generate a

large volume of noise pollution to surrounding property owners, there

would be potential for groundwater pollution, increased litter along

Route 14, increased traffic, and, of course, there would be smell.

Clearly, the public health, safety and welfare would be impossible to

protect with the proposed design.

Sincerely,

P. Allen
