To

Whom It May Concern :

We are writing to express

our concern over

the

request

of the Peoria

Disposal Company's desire

to expand its' hazardous

waste landfill .

We donot

want the PDC's request to be

approved by the IPCB . Our

immediate concern is for the safety of our daughter and her family

because they live directly below the PDC's facility

. Not only has PDC

put her and the other residents in that neighborhood in grave danger

;

but also, could take away all that these people have worked so hard to

maintain

- their homes (losing property value), their health and

possibly their lives .

We are also in danger because of the quality of our water supply, which

very likely will be compromised by granting the continued use of this

landfill

. Most of our family lives within fifteen miles of the

facility

. Then there is the rest of the Peoria metropolitan area that

would be affected by this action .

When the landfill leaks into the aquifer (and it will), where do

100,000 plus people get clean, safe water? In the long run, it seems

to us it would be wiser (and probably cheaper) to close this landfill

and clean it up than to allow continued use and have to deal with

expensive health care and lawsuits over the results of keeping this

landfill open .

As a nation of concerned citizens we must find better

ways

to dispose

of all waste materials .

We implore you, the members of IPCB, as responsible citizens who care

about your families to carefully review the issue before hand

. Please

weigh carefully both short-term and long-term affects of your decision

.

We ask that you deny Peoria Disposal Company's request for any

expansion .

S cerely,

JoAnn and David Brooks
