Cc= ission is codte= plating a regmst by the Metropolitan scison Cgany to treat an:i subsecuently discharge radioactive w2ste-water f.s the Tnree Mile Island plant into the Susqueha.na River.
~
Medless to say, this presyct concerns ne because of its notcntial effects on Chesapeake Bay. As you may b ow, the Sucque-na.na River pmvie'.es 70 percent of.he fiesh uter entering the Chesapeake, the nation's largest and rest productive estuary.
'I'ne pot-ntial effect of a Tnree Mile Is',and distharge or re-lated disicsal of the re,mned 500,000 gallens of 1. ster na in a cirect concern to t.ne res c.ents or-cantarrnent cin1 ding is c:.
Fe=syhania, Virginia and br-land who live in and ase the LT.e-diate Eav rec. ion.
It is a health concern to even nere n. eccle 6s eat the Bay's abundant bluefish, rockfish, crabs, cysters and o'.her delicacies.
