Stonecrest xomeoZVners.~ssociation 2277 County 1~oacfB Nest l~seviCle, 91-t,~V SS113 August 9, 2010 Kevin Kain MPCA 520 Lafayette Rd. N St. Paul MN 55155 ~. _ ~ ~ I am writing to you as a homeowner and on behalf of the other homeowners in Stonecrest, a townhome development consisting of twenty-two townhomes located one- half mile southwest of the proposed asphalt plant. The homeowners in our development are strongly opposed to the Bituminous Roadways Asphalt Plant. We are concerned that emissions from the asphalt plant, together with air pollution from existing sources, will be a substantial health hazard for the residents of our community. At the public information meeting at Roseville City Hall on July 29, 2010, MPCA staff members admitted in response to a question: (1) that the MPCA has no information on the nature and extent of air pollution from the three busy highways that border our area; (2) that the MPCA did not give any consideration to the cumulative effect of emissions from the proposed plant together with emissions from traffic on the nearby highways. We are 1/3 mile east of Highway 280 and southeast of 35W and less than 2/10 mile south and southeast of Highway 36. Considering the prevailing wind, we are downwind from the three highways and from the proposed plant. We believe that the Environmental Assessment Worksheet is inadequate because it does not address the other pollution in our area together with potentially hazardous emissions from the proposed plant. We request that a more comprehensive environmental review be conducted, to include an Environmental Impact Statement. William F.
