%.4 Re:

Three Mile Island Water Storage

Dear Commissioners:

On behalf of the City of Lancaster, which this firm represents in litigation presently pending in the United States D:.str: ct Court for the District of. Columbia, I have been asked to bring to your attention the substance of the letter fo:: warded by Mayor Albert 3. Wohlsen, Jr. to Mr. Richard Vollmer on Oc-ober 2, 1979 relating to water storage questions at Three

~

EP:COR II before thorough environmental reviews.

Met Ed readily could have built-additional shielded storage months ago.but decided not to. dorso.

CWe haie b~een:somewhat reassured by Mr. Vollmer'.s recent...
