16) Public Health Statement for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs)from the Agency for Toxic <br /> Substances and Disease Registry(ATSDR). <br /> "This Public Health Statement is the summary chapter from the Toxicological Profile for <br /> polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It Is one in a series of Public Health Statements <br /> about hazardous substances and their health effects. This information is important because <br /> this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on <br /> the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other <br /> chemicals are present." <br /> This statement was prepared to give you information about Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons <br /> (PAHs) and to emphasize the human health effects that may result from exposure to them. <br /> This information is important because exposure to PAHs may cause harmful health effects and <br /> because these sites are potential or actual sources of human exposure to PARs. <br /> When a substance is released from a large area, such as an industrial plant, or from a <br /> container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment. This release does not always <br /> lead to exposure. You can be exposed to a substance only when you come in contact with it. <br /> You may be exposed by breathing, eating, or drinking substances containing the substance or <br /> by skin contact with it. <br /> If you are exposed to substances such as PAHs, many factors will determine whether harmful <br /> health effects will occur and what the type and severity of those health effects will be. These <br /> factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), the route or pathway by which <br /> you are exposed (breathing, eating, drinking, or skin contact), the other chemicals to which <br /> you are exposed, and your individual characteristics such as age, sex, nutritional status, <br /> family traits, lifestyle, and state of health. <br /> 17) We are certainly concerned with the health risks to all our customers at Dumas Apple House and <br /> concerned about any potential liability issues that could arise from this. <br /> 18) If you issue an Interim Use Permit for a gravel crushing plant at 3245 Wayzata Blvd, please <br /> remember that you setting a precedent. All future decisions on Interim Use Permits will be <br /> based on what you allow at this time. It would be one thing to allow someone to have a place <br /> to,for example, run a business for a political campaign in a residential district for one year. It is <br /> completely another thing to allow someone to have construction staging, material and <br /> equipment storage and materials recycling—gravel crushing and excavation in a residential <br /> district for three to five years! <br /> 19) We ask that you seriously consider all of our concerns before you make a decision to issue an <br /> Interim Use Permit for a gravel crushing facility at 3245 Wayzata Blvd. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Marilyn Gabert, daughter of Robert& Kathryn Dumas, property owners of Dumas Apple House, <br /> neighboring property to Lakewest, LLC, 3245 Wayzata Boulevard. <br /> Marilyn Gabert <br /> PO Box 323 <br /> Boulder Junction, WI 54512 <br /> mgabert@centurytel.net <br />
