SIERRA. CLUB PENNSYLVANIA.
RBpLy~: Thomas A. Drazdowski Chairman, Northeastern Group
- ReDeg2, Box 59B Nicholson, PA. 18446 August 15, 1979 Director Division of Site Safety and Environmental Analysis Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.

Dear Sirs:
The Northeastern Group of the Sierra Club, which comprises Lackawanna,
- Luzerne, Susquehanna,
- Wayne, and Wyoming counties, is very concerned about the draft En-vironmental Statement for the PPEcL Berwick Nuclear Plant.
A preliminary review finds the report flawed and incomplete in the following:
1 ~ Three Mile Island is only mentioned in a footnote that states it has not been considered.
- 2. Discussion of the health effects of radiation and radoactive waste disposal do not note the present controversy among scientists con-cerning risks, safe dosage, and waste disposal techniques.
- 3. The project site and transmission lines have not had a competent archeological survey.
- 4. The new transmission line will cross the gorge of the Lehigh River, a Pennsylvania Scenic River candidate.
- 5. Nuclear energy is compared to coal unfairly because the potentially enormous benefits of revitalizing the anthracite area are not calcu-lated.
Please make these comments part of the official record.
Thank you for your co-operation.
