SUBJECT: Pacific Steel & Recycling Automobile Shredder Residue (ASR) landfill
Hello,
I am a Yellowstone County resident and have many concerns regarding the proposed Pacific Steel & Recycling Automobile Shredder Residue (ASR) landfill. I understand that under Montana law, this landfill is not considered hazardous, nor is it considered illegal. Even though it is approximately 3 miles north of a subdivision that includes around 200 households, not counting the households surrounding the areas that are even closer to the landfill site; and it is also 6 miles from the Independent and Shepherd Schools.
There are so many unknowns regarding the chemicals within ASR. Therefore, I respectfully request DEQ to postpone granting the permit, until EPA sets appropriate regulations to protect human health, wildlife, and environmental resources such as water and air.
Sincerely,
(YOUR NAME
