Dear Editor,

The Baltimore Sun has written several articles about the proposed pyrolysis plant in Harford County.

My wife and I recently learned about the plant and feel that this is a critical issue to all the residents of Harford County as well as Baltimore County.

We have been investigating the pyrolysis process and its associated dangers. I also researched why the county and Auston Transfer and Processing LLC were considering this technology. Finally, I was taken aback when I attended and acted as a witness at the Harford County zoning appeal meeting. This is covered in its own document.

Since these topics cannot be adequately covered in a one-page document, we have divided our report on the Pyrolysis Plant into a 3-part letter:

1. Our recommendation to Barry Glassman
2. Our complaint about the zoning waiver appeal hearing
3. A presentation of the risks inherent in a paralysis plant provided by companies that are in the businesses of building pyrolysis plants.

I am asking the Baltimore Sun to print these letters as three separate letters. I believe combining them would provide too much information in one letter.

Thank you,

Bud Hines
