      Director


Re: Resignation


Effective today, I have sold my shares of Waste Technology To Mr. Leland Boren.
A condition of the sale was that I submit my resignation to the Board,
therefore; please accept this memo as my resignation for the remainder of my
elected term.

Since we do not have D and O insurance and have always paid any legal fees and
expenses for our Directors and Officers, I expect that if anything of a legal
nature should arise that has occurred prior to my resignation, that the company
will pay my expenses exactly as they do for the other Directors.

If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.


Cordially,

/s/ Theodore C. Flood
