RE: IPCB 04-186 Waste Management Appeal

Dear Madam:

I am writing to protest the expansion ofa landfill proposed by Waste Management

in Kankakee County.

The newspapers in the area have covered the expansion question, and we have

attended meetings which explain what this might mean to our community. The main

reason we do not wish to have the landfill expanded is that it is a direct threat to our

health throughpossible leakage into the aquifer that supplies our water. It will make

our community have a laiger garbage dump, and the hundreds oftrucks going

through it will only serve to present problems. It has been proven that all landfills

will leak eventually, and since this one will be over our water supply, it seems only

reasonable that the a Pollution Control Board would not let this happen.

Sincerely,

Alisa and Cory Blanchette
