RE: Rochelle Waste Disposal, L.L.C.

vs.

City Council of the City ofRoch.elle, IL

Case # PCB 03-188 and PCB 03-218

Dear IPCB Members,

The Rochelle City Council (acting as siting authority), the Rochelle residents

and the residents of the surrounding communities have voiced their strong

opposition to any expansion of the Rochelle landfill. The Rochelle City

Council made a decision based on evidence. Their decision was correct.

It simply does not make sense to create a mega dump over a major aquifer,

between two communities, bordering on the homes of residents. For many

reasons it is wrong to expand the dump in the existing location. Please

uphold the decision made by the Rochelle City Council.to deny the

expansion.

Sincerely,

(-~1
