To Whom It May Concern :

Please accept this as comments on the pending appeal before IPCB Hearing Officer Carol Webb

in the above-captioned matter .

My purpose in writing is to voice my support of the Peoria County Board's decision to turn down

PDC's request for a permit to expand its toxic waste landfill in Peoria county

. The Board gave

full and due consideration to PDC's request, and concluded that the site was not safe or

appropriate . Quite simply, the local view is that we should not have to risk the potential

pollution of our drinking water aquifer, pollution to the air we breath, and the related risk to our

and our children's heath by these highly toxic chemicals that are and will be dumped in that

landfill if the permit is granted . Rather, PDC would be better advised to work toward hazardous

chemical disposals that do not involve landfills or hazzards to the welfare of the citizens of

Illinois

.

Through our elected officials to the Peoria County Board we do not want that hazardous waste

landfill in our backyard, nor do we wish to be the dumping grounds for other cities and states

that also don't want such a landfill in their backyards

.

Thanks you for your consideration of my expressed views

.
