5TAFE OF ILLINOIS

My name is Lyle Headon and I am a resident of Cre~

Mon Control Board

Illinois. In fact I am third generation and my grandchildren are

fifth generation who all were and are continuous in residence of the

Village of Creston. We reside there because of the quality of life

found only in close-knit communities such as ours.

Now we are faced with a great change that could jeopardize

tb2t same quality of life we enjoy. We are confronted with the

Iaiidfihl that could pollute our precious water supply. Yes, there has

been much debate about the porous rock that separates the landfill

from our aquifer and the promoters feel that there is no concern.

However, we the opposition feel that there are still too many

uncertainties about this issue and that our drinking water needs the

protection it deserves.

I for one certainly understand that life has no guarantees, but

if we do not take the initiative to deny the possibility of our children

being faced with polluted drinking water, what can we say for our

existence here?

Sincerely,
