Illinois Pollution Control Board

Dear Mr. Therriault,

I am writing to request that the board review the redacted information in Appendix B of

the initial PDC filing from April 25, 2008 (case AS 2008-010) and determine whether the

locations of the ten steel mills used in the sampling process can be disclosed.

I am working with Joyce Blumenshine of the Sierra Club, Heart of Illinois Chapter to

prepare for the hearing on August 18. In its filing, PDC cites the importance of the

delisting to the continued competitiveness of the steel industry and claims economic

benefits based on the distance treated electric arc furnace dust would need to travel if

disposal in a municipal landfill is not granted. Because of these claims, we believe the

locations of the mills whose waste will be delisted are relevant to the public discourse.

Joyce and I are not seeking the names of the mills in question, only the geographic

locations. If additional information is needed to cross reference the locations to the mill

references in Table 2 of the same PDC filing (which gives the anticipated waste

quantities by mill), we would like that as well. We see no reason such information should

be redacted and ask that it be provided as soon as is convenient for the board.

Feel free to contact me at 309-369-5331 (phone), 309-579-3264 (fax) or

tracyfox@verizon.net if there is anything I can do to expedite this ruling.

Sincerely,

Tracy Meints Fox
