Executive Secretary West Virginia Public Service Commission 201 Brooks Street Charleston, WV 25301 Re: Joyce Ann Zornes Application for Certflcate of Convenience and Necessity Case No. 15-1908-MC-C Dear Ms. Ferrell: Please find enclosed herewith for filing in the above-referenced case the original and twelve (12) copies of Haul'n Trash's Response to Waste Management's Request of Denial of Temporary Authority, petitions signed as of 12/28/2015 and Facebook webpage posts by residents in support and seeking alternative service providers.

Truly yours,

Joice Ann Zornes Owner Enclosures Cc :

Linda Bouvette, Esq./w./enc. Edward J. George, Esq./w./enc. Petition w/ signatures as of 12/28/15 Facebook post in support and seeking alternative service.

Applicant, Joyce Zornes, owner of Haul’n Trash, with respect and humility before the Commission, files this Response t o Waste Management of West Virginia’s Response in Opposition to Haul’n Trash’s Request for Emergency Temporary Authority. In support of the following I have enclosed printouts of Haul’n Trash’s Facebook page as well as petitions signed as of 12/28/2015. Haul’n Trash asserts pursuant to Public Service Commission’s Rules and Regulations, Waste Management has untimely filed their response on December 28,2015 as Haul’n Trash’s Request for Emergency Temporary Authority was filed on December 23,2015. According to PSC of WV’s rules and regulations, any motion filed in protest after publication must be done within three (3) days, unless allowed by Commission due to holiday hours. Also, WMWV’s response in itself states, Waste Management currently provides solid waste

transportation service in “parts” of Boone County under P.S.C. M.C. Certificate No. 7460. It is not denied that Waste Management is fully operational in the “parts” of Boone County which it is certificated to operate, but is affirmed that Waste Management does exclude parts of its certificated area or raises the rates in these certain areas, as they are off the “beaten path” of their certificated area. It is understood that Waste Management is a multi-million-dollar corporation, run by a board of directors with all necessary equipment and knowledge of operation for “urban” service, but Boone County is not an “urban” area. In fact, the majority of Boone County is unincorporated just as the greater part of West Virginia is unincorporated and being so many of the residents live on the mountainside, down in a valley, or across a creek sometimes with no adequate bridge to cross, all reasons Waste Management informs residents of these areas that service is unavailable or will cost more, all of which should be proof enough that current certificate holder(s) service is inadequate. Even the current commercial customers of WMWV are dissatisfied as t o the frequency of service. Not t o mention, P.S.C of WV’s rule 3.21(d) states, No reference to unincorporated communities shall be made in certificates or

permits issued by the Commission. Again, Boone County excluding Madison, Danville, Sylvester, and Whitesville is an unincorporated area. Haul'n Trash being a local startup has intimate knowledge and familiarity with such unincorporated areas and the residents that will be hindered by the denial of any type of certificate, in essence, prejudicing the consumers and Haul'n Trash. Furthermore, WMWV is certificated in other areas outside Boone County, in which its customers are dissatisfied and seeking alternative providers. Waste Management believes that the granting of Haul'n Trash's Temporary or Permanent Authority will be detrimental to Waste Management only because they have knowledge of Customer's dissatisfaction with current service. I ask, how can one (1) county in a country of 48 contiguous states serviced by Waste Management be detrimental t o its operation, unless service is inadequate enough that residents want to switch to a better service provider. With respect to West Virginia Code and the rules and regulations set by P.S.C. of W.V. Haul'n Trash has not and will not operate until certificated by the Commission. I ask that all information be taken into heavy consideration. Submitted with Honor, Truth, Humility, and Respect,
