Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

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 ha ve 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 Vo yageurs 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 within the next 55 years. Pollution from co al-fired power plants and taconite faciliti es continue to hurt these national parks. 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 from taconite facilities. Please ensure that the 2011 regional ha ze plan will lead to the restoration of clean air in our 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.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Sincerely, Jerry Drewelow

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Sincerely,

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

Dear fellow Minnesotans,

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

It needs re-working, since ev en 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 hazard ous pollutants with existing technology. They have not adequa tely reviewed current methods th at 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 co al 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 ar e also very aware of the he avy air emissions from taconite plants (at facilities by Lake Superior and elsewhere).

Please take a very careful look at the ha ze problem and make sure that you as citi zen 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. Ha ze and hazardous air emissions have a cost too, on human and environmental health. Please protect your fellow citizens and the environment of Minne sota, so that we can leave it better off for the next generation.

As a national park visitor and advocate for the parks, I valu e the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Parks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented oppo rtunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affected by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Sincerely,

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Sincerely,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l 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 pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Sincerely,

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol Agency Citizens Board,

I'm writing to urge you to improve Minnesota 's regional haze plan. As a national pa rk visitor and advocate for the parks, I value the beauty of Voyageurs and Isle Royale National Par ks. I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

I understand that the haze plan offers an unprecedented opportunity to clean up the air in these parks, which are affect ed by pollution from power plants and taconite facilities.

As currently written, the Minnesota haze pl an 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 co al-fired power plants and taconite facili ties 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 ge nerations, please ensu re that the 2011 regional haze plan wil l lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.

Thank you for considering my comments on this plan.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Cont rol 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 pa rt 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 thes e sources of haze-creating emissions. We cannot wait for decades to do so.

I ask that you revise the haze plan to fu rther 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 wil l 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.

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

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.

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.

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,

Carol Mitchell 709 Granger Road Detroit Lakes, MN 56501

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.

Dear Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board,

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. At the same time I recognize that it is important to protect the delicate economic balance of the Iron Range economy.

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.

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 plan will lead to the restoration of clean air in our parks.
