    RE:
    Proposed Amendments to Leaking Underground
    Storage Tank Regulations: #R04-22/23
    Dear Clerk:
    I am writing regarding the above proposed regulations and the recent Opinion and Order
    that has been passed by the Illinois Pollution Control Board. It is my opinion that the rule
    as cunently proposed may greatly impact the viability ofnot only the
    consultant/contractor that I am employed by but also the environmental
    consulting/contracting industry and more specifically the Owners/Operators ofLeaking
    Underground Storage tanks whom are our clients.
    As a concerned citizen ofIllinois and an interested party in this rulemaking, I am
    respectflully requesting that additional hearings be held in this matter and that the Illinois
    Pollution Control Board more closely investigate and objectively hear all the relevant fact
    ofall interested parties.
    It is my understanding that all previous hearings on this regulation have been held in
    northern and central Illinois. I would like to request that at least one additional hearing
    be held in southern Illinois so that all citizens ofthe state ofillinois may participate in the
    due process and have their voices heard. Thank you in advance for yourthoughtful
    consideration to this very important issue.
