From: "Darren Riddles" <driddles@specialtyres.com> To: R6Air OKHaze@EPA Date: 04/14/2011 09:01 AM Subject: Regional Haze To Whom It May Concern: I manage a property in downtown Oklahoma City. I am of the belief that we need to take care of our environment for future generations. The SIP proposal from the state of Oklahoma meets two goals. It will obtain the EPA standards set before the proposed FIP. Also, it responsibly takes the economic situation in consideration. My building square footage is more than 500,000. A 15% increase in utilities would have a major affect not only on the building, but it would impact all my tenants. The increase to our tenants would cause cutbacks in all areas. I believe it would slow investing in the Oklahoma City downtown area. This would go against the mission of the city to attract the biggest and brightest companies in the world. I believe at minimum the EPA and ODEQ needs to work to together to come to a resolve that would fix the polluting problem while taking the economy of Oklahoma in mind. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my concern. Darren C. Riddles Business Manager Grubb & Ellis | Levy Beffort darren.riddles@grubb-ellis.com www.levybeffort.com Independently Owned and Operated
