Clerk of the Board
Pollution Control Board
100 West Randolph, Suite 11-500
Chicago, Illinois 60601-3218
Dear Gentlemen
I am writing in regards to the Citation that was issued to Dan Kimmel at 1065
Dumaroc Road, Desoto, Illinois 62924.
The complaint I have received from the pollution control board States that my
land is an open dump which I believe is completely wrong. I consider it as merely
recycling. I have recycled many Items and I have collected many recyclable
materials in the past 20 years because I have never believed in filling our land fills
with these items for the sake of the environment.
In the past two years the pollution control board has been on my back to clean it
up
and
I have continually made efforts to do so in the way of storage facilities and
also bringing load after load to the recycling
center as quickly as possible.
Mr. Don Terry was out at the property and was taking pictures. In his report he
has documented all the things that I haven't gotten to ye. He failed to report the
hard work that I have put in to
clean; he also failed to tak pictures of the
improvements that I have worked so hard to get done.
Collecting these materials for 20 years will take some time to clean up. I am only
one man with limited machinery to help me and I am trying my best to get this
issue resolved. I also have a full-time job so I can only work on this after putting in
a hard day at my job and every weekend, but there are only so many hours in a
day and I do need sleep.
Therefore, I am asking for adequate time to get everything hauled off and put
everything that I want to keep in a building or undercover so that I no longer have
this trouble with the pollution control board. I have numerous receipts from the
scrap yards to prove that I have been hauling in scrap continually. I also pay for a
large dumpster that I'm continually filling with non-recyclable garbage in my
effort to comply to this issue.
Please let me know what your decision is on this matter. Meanwhile I will
continue to haul in recycling materials and collecting receipts for my work.
Sincerely
pea of,
Dan Kimmel
Owner-operator of property
