    Dear Ms. Gunn:
    We write to support the adjusted standard petition submitted by J-’Lyn Corp and Falcon
    Waste & Recycling, Inc. Jo’Lyn and Falcon use granulated bituminous shingle material
    (GBSM) to produce a useful and clean paving product. GBSM is a clean and consistent
    material generated at the end of the manufacturing ofroofing shingles. GBSM contains
    no post-consumer material, and in not shingle tear-offs. Jo’Lyn and Falcon purchase
    GBSM from shingle manufacturers and then use a grinding and compaction process to
    create a paving product called Eclipse Dust Control. Eclipse Dust Control has a number
    of applications including the paving ofdriveways, parking lots, feed lots, and bike and
    walking paths. The paving product is proven effective.
    There is no downside to the process used by Jo’Lyn and Falcon; it converts GBSM into a
    useful paving product which is proven effective, while utilizing a material which might
    otherwise be landfihled for the lack ofa market. There is a demonstrated market for the
    paving product, and Jo’Lyn and Falcon have standing orders for the product.
    We urge the IPCB to grant this petition for adjusted standard. Jo’Lyn and Falcon use an
    innovative process which is environmentally friendly, and provides a market for GBSM..
    Granting the petition for adjusted standard will allow Jo’Lyn and Falcon to continue
    using thiw innovative process, while also protecting the environment.
