Dear Mr. Rowden:
i As Chairman of the Ne" Jersey House Committee on Enviro:rnent, 2 am uriting to express the Committee's deep concern regarding s
pedding applications to modify the existing permits for the storage of nuclear fuel at the Lower Allo':ay Greek To.Inship site.
s e
The House Condittee and the entire New Jersey Legislature, is deeply concerned that any temporary adjustment in the starage policy will not be temporary, but, could very well be the first step in creating a huge nuclear storage facility in southern New Jersey.
It is my positicn and that of the committee that even though o
minor ddjustments in storage policy may be necessary in order for the facility to opera,te, any major change in the duration of storage'.zould not be in the best interest of the citizens of New Jersey.
It.ould appear that by allowing the facility to store for ten years or more, certainly puts off the inevitable decision that the Federal Government must make on permanent storage facilities.
t;le feel that, if indeed, any extension in time is granted, it should be for the barest minimal amount of time feasible and certainly no more than an additicnal four years.
It is our opinion that if the decision of,chere and hor to store is continually put off ith cxtensions such as this, the Federal Government :ill continue to procrastinate in setting up long range storage facilities.
If a compromise such as we suggest cannot be reached, I suggest that you seriously consider halting all 'further nuclear activities in New Jersey until you solve the storage problem.
Sincerely, F
H. DONALD STRIART ASS 31BLYMAN, DISTRICT 3 HDS:jh 79011900 2 8.'
