To whom it may concern, As a local business owner located in Limerick Township, I support the relicensing of Limerick Generating Station. As a nearby business and resident, I fully support the positive impact Limerick provides to the local community.

In my position as President at Potty Queen we are fully committed to a dean environment we provide septic services and portable restrooms in Southeast Pennsylvania and Central New Jersey and we have the same commitment as Exelon does in keeping our waterways and air quality environmentally clean and safe.

I've lived and worked near the power plant all my life, from high school I hauled trash from the plant during construction and in the early operating days, now my company Potty Queen literally sits in the shadows of the towers for the past 10 years and it had absolutely no effect, other than positive ones on my company, my employees and the surrounding communities.

I have 32 employees and we are committed to a clean environment and Exelon has the same commitments.

Exelon is a great corporate neighbor and they do nothing but good for our community.

They create jobs and make many donations to great organizations like the Pottstown Ricketts Center for Boys and Girls and many others.

We all need power and we all use it, many of the coal fired plants are closing and yet people still use electric, where is it going to come from?

I remember when the power plant first opened and no one wanted to build or live near the plant, now because of their safe and proven track record people feel safe and build and live very close to the plant and they are still building. A large mall was just constructed a couple years ago just a half mile from here.

The power plant has many safeguards in place and we experience it first hand, one example is on occasions people stop to take pictures in front of our business and within minutes security shows up from Exelon to question and check what they are doing.

Whenever we enter the facility our trucks and drivers are thoroughly inspected and questioned and our people have to have background checks.

We never had an incident at the plant and I feel safe working in the within 500 yards of the plant daily.

Our quality of life is great and so are all our neighbors and fellow businesses.

Please feel free to use this testimony as needed relating to the ongoing process for the relicensing of Limerick Generating Station.

Thank you for allowing me the time to speak and feel free to call me with any questions.
