vs.
WILLIAMSON ENERGY LLC.s POND CREEK MINE #1
.BOARD MEMBER; MOORE,A.S. HEARING OFFICER; WEBB C.
.DECEMBER 3, 2007
. RESPONSE TO WILLIAMSON ENERGY LLC,s SECOND MOTION TO DISMISS;
BY AND FOR GEORGE R. STRUNK, A PRIVATE CITIZEN OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS-HAVING
TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO THIS NIGHTMARE CALLED A COAL MINE.
. I HAVE HONESTLY AND IN GOOD FAITH SENT IN EVIDENCE AND RECORDS OF
PERSONAL LOGS AND NOTES OF WILLIAMSON ENERGY'S CONTINUED VIOLATION OF
ILLINOIS POLLUTION LAWS. I CONTINUE TO SEE AND HEAR THE VIOLATIONS OF MY
RIGHT TO A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT.
. THEIR ATTORNEYS CONTINUE TO SEEK DISMISSAL OF MY COMPLAINT. BUT THEY
HAVE OFFERED NO EVIDENCE CONTRARY TO MY COMPLAINTS. JUST THEIR RETORICAL
LEGAL MUMBO-JUMBO OF HOW 1 HAVE WRITTEN AND TRIED TO PRESENT MY
COMPLAINTS. THE FACTS SHOULD CLEARLY SPEAK FOR THEMSEVES!
1.
THEY CONTINUE TO POLLUTE THE AIR WE BREATHE BY ALLOWING DUST TO BE
BLOWN FROM THEIR MINE SITE.
2.
THEY CONTINUE TO POLLUTE THE QUIETNESS OF OUR RURAL RESIDENCE WITH NOISE
OF THEIR EQUIPMENT{FANS-CONVEYORS-PREP PLANT-MOBILE EQUIPMENT-COAL
TRUCKS-TRAINS}, OFTEN WAKING US IN THE NIGHT. ALWAYS DISTURBING OUR
ATMOSPHERE. I ONLY WISH YOU WOULD WITNESS THIS FIRSTHAND.
3.
THEY CONTINUE TO LIGHT UP OUR NIGHT SKY WITH ADDING EVEN MORE "SECURITY
LIGHTS". SEEMINGLY DIRECTED AWAY FROM THE MINE AND TOWARD MY HOME. WE
HAVE TO KEEP THE CURTAINS CLOSED TO GET SOME SLEEP.
4.
AS FOR WATER POLLUTION; I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE I.E.P.A. TO PROVIDE ME
WITH RECORDS I REQUESTED THROUGH THE F.O.1.A. I AM SURE YOU COULD ACCESS
THEM A LOT QUICKER.
5.
THIS IS AND SHOULD BE A VERY SIMPLE CASE; POND CREEK MINE #1 IS IN VIOLATION
OF THE IEPA LAWS OR THEY ARE NOT. LET THE HARD EVIDENCE SPEAK FOR ITSELF. NO
AMOUNT OF LEGAL RETORIC SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO INTERFERE WITH JUSTICE OR
CHANGE THE TRUE FACTS. IS IT O.K. FOR THE MINE TO DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT
WE
SO DEARLY LOVE AND NOT BE
HELD
RESPONSIBLE? THIS IS WHERE YOU THAT SIT ON
THE ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD COME INTO PLAY. I URGE YOU TO SEE THE
TRUE FACTS AND HARD EVIDENCE AND COME TO A QUICK DECISION. WILLIAMSON
ENERGY LLC,s POND CREEK MINE #1 IS VIOLATING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,
GEORGE R. STRUNK
