Dear Ms. Moran:
The proposed Emissions permit for Merck's Elkton Plant, as now written, is devoid of much needed checks and balances to assure the public interests in Shenandoah National Park are adequately considered.
Specifically, you are requested to:
Invoke a term limit on the agreement not to exceed 10 years. Delete any veto authority by Merck over proposed permit changes. Solicit maximum public involvement in the review process.
Respectfully submitted,
Don J. Daley
