An application to build an asphalt plant included a "no environmental
impact" finding. This plant would process 400 truckloads of used tires
per day (shredded and mixed with oil to make asphalt), and is located within 
1/4 mile of the headwaters of a major California river. I find this 
difficult to believe, and think that the people proposing the plant 
are trying to get out of doing an environmental impact report. 

Any information you might have on the environmental impact of recycling
tires into asphalt would be greatly appreciated. One of my relatives lives
within 1/2 mile of the proposed plant, and she and her neighbors just found
out about this proposed project.

Thanks,
K.S. Myronuk
