Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely, 

Stephen Girard

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. My wife, Michelle, and I live in a Twin Cities suburb and have travelled to 

Voyageurs National Park many times to rest and recreate. We have plans to visit Isle Royale this summer. 

The the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in both Voyageurs and Isle Royale NPs and protect 

these precious places for our children and grandchildren. 

The Minnesota haze plan as currently writeen won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands

In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in our State are so

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands within the next 55 

years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely, 

Virginia Jones

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely, 

John Korovilos

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely,

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

Dear fellow Minnesotans, 

Please do not approve the current regional haze plan at your December meeting. 

It needs re-working, since even under its current structure, it will not achieve the necessary haze reductions. 

Xcel and other large polluters in Minnesota can do far more to reduce haze and other hazardous pollutants with existing 

technology. They have not adequately reviewed current methods that can reduce emissions and haze and its time to hold Xcel and 

other large polluters accountable. 

For example, we need only to drive up highway 10 or 94 and come within a few miles of Xcel's coal plants at Sherburne, etc. to 

see the huge amount of visible air pollution they emit 24/7. 

Those of us who travel regularly up north are also very aware of the heavy air emissions from taconite plants (at facilities by

Lake Superior and elsewhere). 

Please take a very careful look at the haze problem and make sure that you as citizen representatives, require the very best 

emissions controls to be part of power and taconite plants, etc. 

Its not all about keeping costs as low as possible for industry. Haze and hazardous air emissions have a cost too, on human and

environmental health. Please protect your fellow citizens and the environment of Minnesota, so that we can leave it better off 

for the next generation. 

As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I 

understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are 

affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely,

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely, 

Derek Brinks

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely, 

Jennifer McCormick

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

Dear Board Members, 

Some people say these parks "don't matter." Some say their air is so clean you can't really hurt it. Some say "progress" trumps everything. Well, 

thousands of citizens say otherwise. These parks are jewels in our national park system. They are important

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely,

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely,

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely, 

Ann K Brady

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

As a concerned citizen and native Minnesotan I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national 

park visitor and advocate for all parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the 

haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power 

plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Clearly this is unacceptable for Minnesota, park visitors, and future generations who rely on our 

stewardship of this spectacular natural resource. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our 

national parks for too long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants 

in the state are so excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks.

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely,

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

It is essential for the well-being of Minnesota's citizens and for the health of its ecosystems and tourism industry to take 

action on the very troublesome haze which pervades the northern part of the state. I am a property owner in northern Minnesota 

and a native Minnesotan and I am dismayed by the radical and unpleasant changes which I se in my favorite state. I have 

visited Voyageurs Park many times and hope to soon visit Isle Royale; both suffer greatly from polluting haze from power 

plants and taconite facilities. 

The Midwest is plagued with coal-fired power plants, the source of much of this haze. We need immediate action to clean up these 

sources of haze-creating emissions. We cannot wait for decades to do so. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze 

plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I 

understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are 

affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the 

goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants 

and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined 

that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved 

parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution 

from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future 

generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

I urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. As a 

national park visitor , I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle 

Royale National Parks. The haze plan offers an opportunity to 

clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution 

from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the 

goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants 

and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined 

that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved 

parks. 

Please revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from 

power plants and to collect accurate emissions information from 

taconite facilities. 

Sincerely, 

Michael Shoop

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze 

plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I 

understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are 

affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the 

goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants 

and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined 

that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved 

parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution 

from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future 

generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze 

plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I 

understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are 

affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the 

goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants 

and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined 

that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved 

parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution 

from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future 

generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely, 

Ruth Bradfield

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze 

plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I 

understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are 

affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze 

plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I 

understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are 

affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the 

goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants 

and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined 

that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved 

parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution 

from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future 

generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Robin Brown

improve Minnesota's regional haze plan. I understand that the 

haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the 

air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power

industry as we have done for too long already. As currently

rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands within the next

the National Park Service recently determined that emissions 

from one of the coal plants in the state are so excessive that 

it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved parks.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to ask you to improve Minnesota's regional haze 

plan. As a national park visitor, I value the beauty of Isle 

Royale and Voyageurs National Parks. I understand that the haze 

plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in 

these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants 

and taconite facilities. 

As it is currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet 

the goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild 

lands within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power 

plants and taconite facilities has impacted our national parks 

for too long. In fact, the National Park Service recently 

determined that emissions from one of the coal plants in the 

state are so excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in 

these two beloved parks. 

Please revise the haze plan to further limit pollution from 

power plants and to collect accurate emissions information from 

taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future 

generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our national parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments. 

Sincerely, 

Mike Strawn

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board, 

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota's regional haze 

plan. As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I 

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I 

understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented 

opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are 

affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities. 

As currently written, the Minnesota haze plan won't meet the 

goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands 

within the next 55 years. Pollution from coal-fired power plants 

and taconite facilities have hurt our national parks for too 

long. In fact, the National Park Service recently determined 

that emissions from one of the coal plants in the state are so 

excessive that it is a direct cause of haze in these two beloved 

parks. 

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution 

from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. For the benefit of present and future 

generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze plan will 

lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks. 

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan. 

Sincerely, 

Cat Rowland

value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I 

understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented

At the same time I recognize that it is important to protect the 

delicate economic balance of the Iron Range economy.

goal of getting rid of man-made haze in the region's wild lands

I ask that you revise the haze plan to further limit pollution 

from power plants and to collect accurate emissions information 

from taconite facilities. I think ,in the long run, more 

accurate emissions monitering and a moderately agressive 

polution clean up plancould benefit not only the beatiful 

tourism opportunities of the Lake Superior area but also the 

economy of nothern Minnesota. For the benefit of present and 

future generations, please ensure that the 2011 regional haze

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan, and please

decision.
