Stonecrest xomeo~,vners Association <br />2277 County ~gadB ~Uest <br />~gseviCCe, ~INSS113 <br />August 9, 2010 <br />Tarik Hanafy <br />MPCA <br />520 Lafayette Rd. N <br />St. Paul MN 55155 <br />t:~ <br />1 am writing to you as a homeowner and on behalf of the other homeowners in Stonecrest, a <br />townhome development consisting of twenty-two townhomes located one-half mile southwest of <br />the proposed asphalt plant. <br />The homeowners in our development are strongly opposed to the Bituminous Roadways Asphalt <br />Plant. We are concerned that emissions from the asphalt plant, together with air pollution from <br />existing sources, will be a substantial health hazard for the residents of our community. <br />At the public information meeting at Roseville City Hall on July 29, 2010, MPCA staff members <br />admitted in response to a question: (])that the MPCA has no information on the nature and <br />extent of air pollution from the three busy highways that border our area; (2) that the MPCA did <br />not give any consideration to the cumulative effect of emissions from the proposed plant together <br />with emissions from traffic on the nearby highways. We are 1/3 mile east of Highway 280 and <br />southeast of 35W and less than 2/10 mile south and southeast of Highway 36. Considering the <br />prevailing wind, we are downwind from the three highways and from the proposed plant. <br />We believe there is significant potential for adverse health and environmental effects from the <br />proposed project, and that the MPCA should not grant an Air Permit for operation of the Asphalt <br />Plant. <br />We request that more comprehensive environmental review be conducted, to include an <br />Environmental Impact Statement before any further consideration is given to granting an Air <br />Permit for operation of the proposed plant. <br />William F.
