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

st century.

Please work with the citizens of Central Illinois to begin the process of closing this

?
