Dear Illinois Pollution Control Board,
I am writing regarding the Illinois EPA's renewal of Peoria Disposal Company's
operating permit effective January 1, 2008 (case PCB-08-42). Prior to the renewal,
you upheld the Peoria County Board's decision to deny an expansion request from
PDC. You also upheld an IEPA decision to deny PDC a permit modification that
would have exempted it from the Peoria County Board's siting authority. I ask you
to carefully review the new permit to ensure that it does not give PDC a backdoor
for expanding operations and does not push the anticipated closure date further
into the future. I also ask you to send the permit back and ask IEPA to require
more, not less, monitoring of groundwater and air emissions and mandate that
monitoring results be analyzed by an independent lab rather than PDC.
When the PDC hazardous waste landfill was grandfathered into existence, I do not
believe the state legislature ever intended it to be operational in the 21
5t century.
Please work with the citizens of Central Illinois to begin the process of closing this
unwanted legacy and continuing threat to the health ands
a4/tof our community.
