Algausseawas <br /> ., 1 13 <br /> MANY CITIZENS SPOKE FROM THE AUDIENCE. UNFORTUNATELY, THEIR <br /> COMMENTS WERE UNINTELLIGIBLE. WE HAVE INCLUDED THOSE <br /> COMMENTS WHEN WE COULD HEAR ENOUGH TO MAKE SENSE OF THEIR <br /> STATEMENT, OTHERWISE, WE HAVE INDICATED THAT SOMEONE SPORE. <br /> APRIL 6, 1989 — <br /> VERBATIM MINUTES OF CITIZEN'S COMMENTS <br /> Dl. A. LUP-4--89 ENVIROTEI{, INC. <br /> Mr. Carey: At this point, I would like to open the floor for <br /> public comment. we have a list of people who have signed up <br /> and would like to call them in the order in which they occur <br /> and we'll give you an opportunity to comment and raise any <br /> questions. The first person is Mr. Michael Majeski and the <br /> second person will be Mr. Todd Zapoiski. <br /> Micheal Majeski: Good evening, My name is Michael Majeski <br /> and I'm with Envirotek of Raleigh, ' North Carolina. <br /> Envirotek, I. would like to clarify something that has been in <br /> the papers recently.
