Dear People,

1 -- I request that the IPCB hold a public hearing on this matter at a time and place

convenient to the people of Peoria County and adjacent counties.

2 -- Correction: The legal notice published by Peoria Disposal Co. states that "PDC seeks

the delisting of residues from the treatment of Electric Arc Furnace ("EAF) dust

created by steel mills, which residues are generated at PDC's waste stabilization

facility located at 4349 W. Soutport Rd., Peoria, Illinois 61615."

The legal notice falsely states that the "residues from the treatment of

EAF dust . . . are generated" at PDC's facility. They are in fact generated at steel mills

and then delivered to PDC's stabilization facility" for later landfill disposal.

PDC is

not

the generator. The steel mills are .

PDC simply adds a thickener (stabilizer) to keep the

dust from blowing away while later being dumped into and long left in an open landfill.

Sincerely, Tom Edwards

P.S. This dust contains toxic materials, and can be loaded with them, I've been advised.
