Dear Mr. Muller:

We have had the draft environmental statement for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Metropolitan Edison Company and Jersey Central Power and Light Company, reviewed in the relevant agencies of this Department. Coments from the Fo' ett Service, an agency of the Department, are enclosed.

The Soil Conservation Service, also an agency of the Department, has not yet completed its review. If it has any comments, they will be sent to y.ou when available.

Sincerely

=

e Re: Three Mile Is1.and Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Metropolitan Edison Co. and Jersey central Power and Light Company We have revicued the draf t environmental statement for Three Mile Island Nucicar Station, Units 1 and 2, Metropolitan Edison Company and Jersey Central Power and Light Company.

As described in the draft environmental statement, the nuclear plants at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station should have little impact on vegetation. This impact will probably be considerably 1 css than that of a comparable plant using coal or oil.

Periodic monitoring of vegetation on the east bank of the Susquehanna River could be u:cd to establish uhether or not harmful levels of y chlorides or sulfates had been reached. On Page V-28, Table 15, of the draft environmental statement, monitoring of crops is mentioned.

Trees along the river and elsewhere could be monitored at the same time.

It is good to note that the company has plans to landscape the plant site once conctraction is completed.

We would like to receive a copy of the final environmental statc=ent.
