Dear Senator Harris:
Tim Brown, Mayor Chris Hamm, Mayor Pro Tern Kathy Ward, Counci/member Lori Donchak, Councilmember Steve Swartz, Councilmember James Makshanoff, City Manager On behalf of the City of San Clemente, I want to bring to your attention to the ongoing concerns of the residents of the City of Sai;, Clemente and Southern California due to the

'; J nuclear waste stored -at the San Onofre NuGlear Generating Station (SONGS}-.* On behalf*of the city of San Clemente, this letter requests your priority attention to the nuclear waste issues that affects ours and other communities close to SONGS.
Specifically, we respectfully request that you visit SONGS in the coming weeks. Senator Diahne *Feinstein's visit in 2012 with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chair was both productive'and reassuring td'the *corhmunitt As* Sah Cl~mente Mayor, I am happy'to *
~rg*an1ze this visit *

The City of San Clemente contfnues to support the efforts of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to proceed with the creation of a permanent spent nuclear fuel repository as tasked by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. The City further supports the current congre*ssional effort in H.R. 3643 (Interim Consolidated Storage Act) that would be a critical step towards removing the waste from the California coastline. We request your continued action on behalf of San Clemente to press the Federal agencies (DOE, NRC, etc) to further renew their efforts to find a real and lasting solution to our nation's nuclear waste problem.
We also believe your visit could result in sharpened policy push to recognize communities near nuclear stations that bear an elevated level of risk and this requires remedy. Six years ago, the Blue Ribbon Pan'el determined that the best way forward was to find communities that consent to becoming either a temporary or permanent repository. Since DOE has failed to address their lawful obligations to create a permanent spent nuclear fuel repository or develop any other solution, Southern California and San.Clemente, by default, have become a permanent waste repository. this outcome *is unaccept~ble-to our residents and if demands remedy.
