Jalaine Polk 117 Quality Street Louisville, KY 40217 November 3, 2007 John Doe Executive Director Belle Power Plant 401 Dark Road Louisville, KY 40216 Dear John Doe: I am writing to express my concern about the release of harmful nitrogen oxides 1 from your power plant. According to the Clean Air Act, the Belle Power plant does not meet the air quality standards. Your plant is estimated to release .44 pounds of nitrogen oxides, yet the air quality standards allow for only .15 pounds. This emission of destructive pollutants is unacceptable. As a citizen of the city of Louisville, I urge you to install the catalytic converters to reduce your nitrogen oxide emission and meet the required level. A healthy environment is essential to leading a healthy life. We cannot maintain a healthy environment without the reduction of hurtful air pollutants. While I am merely a citizen, requesting action from your power plant, I will not stop at a simple letter. <strong>The</strong> committee for the Clean Air Act will be notified, as well as the community of Louisville. I firmly request that you comply with these standards before the city of Louisville's air quality is harmed to a greater extent. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jalaine Polk 1 Nitrogen Oxide: A mixture of gases composed of nitrogen and oxygen. Exposure to nitrogen oxides can cause irritation to your body, damage to your airways, burns, swelling, fluid in your lungs, and even death.
