Dear Chairman Macfadane:
Dorice A. M adroncro 1 Regis Court Suffern, ~y 10901
!lrnadronero@g-rnail.corn Hesidents of IJockland County, ~y have expressed concerns over* United \\Vater _\\ew York's (TTW\\'Y) proposed desalination plant at the Hudson River in Haverstraw. Of concern, is the project's proximit) 3.5 miles down river from lnditm Point and possible contarninat.ion from ongoing allowable ~md excess releases and potential effects from an accident. I write as a resident who has expressed such concern at NRC public hearings. Specifically, it is unclear why there is an absence of consideration of the potential exposure in the review for re-licensing of Indian Point 2&3. Given the proximit_v of the proposed project and known leaks at fndian Point of Strontium90, cesium t'i7 and tritium it is unclear why \\l"RC is not requiring a review ofpot<*ntial effects and safety m~:asures to mitigate risk to public drinking \\Vater supply.
UWNY provides drinking water to estimated 70,000 customers reaching a majority of Rockland's population of 312,000 and many more via riparian water rights in New Jer-sey. Please advise why vve ratepayers are not entitled to NRC's review of Jndian Point ncar a proposed desalination plant operating well within the ten mile evacuation ra-dius. Included links speak to the issues raised in this letter regarding the proposed desalination plant. Of particular note is Entergy's relerenee "/Juring the preparotion r~f this report, Entcrgy d/d not identifj* at~;y known or reasonah(r.forese('able federal projects or other act/vities that could conlribute to th.e cumulative envt'ronmental impacts oflicense renewal at th.e site. "
In addition, my concems are for what at times is a lack of transparency by regulators compounded by bullying, corporate public relations and coq)()rate agendas ean some-times cloud, if not counter pub lie safety concerns of the public, as well affect good
public policy. One such example is Entergy's Indian Po.int where an exemption and use of lower quality Hemyc \\Vas granted.
Thank you for your antieipated attention to this req uesL
$incerel,y yours,
