My home far the last 16 <br />years is immediately across the river from the proposed development. The noise, dust and odors from <br />this proposed phmt can only have negative effects on my property value. A Mora important <br />conrideration is the negative effect this proposed plant will Lave on the wild life in tLis area While <br />eating breakfast sort mmm;n~, I am treated to a parade of wild life including Bald Eagles, Bhte <br />Herons, deer and many otters. This area is truly a wildlife paradise that will be Lost with the <br />proposed development. <br />I am also cancemad that this industrial activity so close to the Gtmnisan River may have a negative <br />ecological impact on our aver caters and the fish that inhabit them <br />The increase of truck travel on Highway 65 is also a concern. This highway is already very busy and <br />one can imagine that any increase may cause an increase in traffic acrid®ts. <br />Thank you for considering my concerns in tLis matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jerald M.
