This is the completed report on evaluating the Draft EIR. Based on the reviewed information,

our conclusion is that the Tajiquas Landfill as of today, poses undetermined likely risk to

human health, drinking water and the environment. We recommend steps, that we believe,

can help to assess the impact on the environment and design adequate mitigation plan.

We thank you for the opportunity to be part of this project and we are looking forward to

work with you in the future on other environmental issues.

Sincerely,

Franklin J. Goldman
