    I submit this letter ofsupport
    of Falcon Waste. & Recycling Inc.’s
    petition for an adjusted
    standard.
    I believe this issue has been addressed under the statutory definition ofrecycling
    ‘...any process by which materials that would otherwise be
    disposed ofor discarded are
    collected, separated
    or processed and returned to the economic mainstream in the form ofraw
    materials or products...”
    It is clearly stated that Flacon’s materials are a recycled commodity,
    not waste.
    This process should be considered a legitimate recycling process, not waste handling or waste
    disposal, and therefore the petitioners should not be required to
    obtain waste handling permits.
    Falcon’s process involves collecting post manufacturing shingle material, grinding them down in
    size, top create a recycled content commodity, “Eclipse Dust Control”.
    This newproduct made from recycled material not only saves our depleting
    —
    nonrenewable
    landfill space but also saves our citizens money and when using “Eclipse Dust Control” over
    costly alternatives which
    enables more people to save our air quality by eliminating particulate
    matter from entering our air space
    For the well being ofthe environment and our citizen’s tax dollars, I askthat you favorably
    consider the adjusted standard submitted,
