"Jones, Edward" <edward.jones@farmcreditwest.com> 01/04/2008 01:17 PM To Docket Superfund@EPA cc bcc Subject Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-SFUND- 2007 0469 I would like to express my support for the decision to exempt livestock farms et al from reporting non-emergency emissions associated with livestock waste on their farms. This decision is only common sense. Prior to the urbanization of our society every household had their own small quantity of livestock to support their personal needs. Some worked cooperatively with their neighbors, but essentially every one participated in the overall raising of livestock. If we did not have these commercial livestock industries working in the rural areas of our nations, most households would still be required to have chickens, dairy cows, pigs, etc. in their households. Imagine the mess that would be in every major city of America. At least with commercial livestock production units, all of the animal waste is being gathered for other commercial uses, and as technology is developing, we will eventually be generating energy for this animal by-product. Thank you for this opportunity to express my opinion. Edward C. Jones, Jr. Vice President, Portfolio Manager ed.jones@farmcreditwest.com 2929 W.
