    I would like to go on the record as opposing the expansion of the Waste Management landfill
    from the now 80 acres to the proposed 382 acres. The location they’ve chosen is in the
    immediate water shed of the Iroquois and Kankakee rivers. The water supply for drinking
    purposes is just upstream from this area. Please cnsider this landfill has already poisoned many
    wells surrounding this dump.
    The garbage trucks will pose a real congestion problem, presenting a danger to school children
    on the adjacent bus routes.
    This landfill will most definetly deter any real estate or commercial development
    Most of the citizens in this county are against it once they learn we may soon have to be drinking
    bottled water because of infected metropolitan water supply. We don’t want this dump any where
    near the river. People fish there and actually eat these fish. Have mercy on the people who are
    trusting you to do the right thing. Thank you for your time.
    Sincerely,
