POTTSTOWN, Ill. - Public meetings begin in two weeks for comment on the proposed expansion of a Peoria County toxic dump. Those who live around the PDC Landfill in Pottstown are protesting its expansion, saying it's not safe. Peoria County administrators are holding the meetings so both sides can present the facts.

The meetings begin on Tuesday February 21st at 1 PM, and will continue each day through the 28th, at the ITOO Society on Farmington Rd. in Peoria.

Club 3000 NOTE: The Ohio EPA meeting process in Sandy Township involved one expedited four hour session and limited all testimony to five minutes per person and refused to allow witnesses to yield time to another speaker.
