In response to your, "Cooking with Gas", article in Saturday's July 17 Citizen, I would ask, who were the "Many others who might be impacted by this proposed facility" at your meeting? Am I to presume that the many others are not in the picture? I for one would very much like to be in the picture, also maybe a representative from the clean air coalition, and residents from the rural area where you are proposing to build this incinerator. There always seems to be such a financial benefit spin put on these developments. Similar to what the Northern Gateway Alliance is putting on its project, that some people could be fooled into believing there is no down side to these projects. You may talk yourselves blue in the face telling people how clean your operation is going to be, but the mark of industrial development, lack of policy enforcement, and human negligence speak for themselves. I bet BP told the folks down in the Gulf there would be zero impact. I look forward to reading announcements regarding the application to rezone the area where your proposed plant will be built. If your mini-gasification plant is as clean as you propose, I would like to suggest as an option to Isle Pierre, you apply to build it in the CN Yard off First Avenue, which would seem to fit with the Downtown Business Improvement Associations involvement. If you do not meet with any dissent in that location it would probably be successful anywhere. Once, of course, the questions on the MOE permit have been answered.
