Dear Senator ProImire,

I live in the Township of Zosel of Sheboygan County about four miles fro 2 the proposed eighteen hua' red 2e,;axatt nuclear.

Power plant at Haven. Wisconsin Tlectric and its.asecciatd power companies are submitting an a:end:ent to their applic'ation "fer the construction cf the Haven plant tc allow ther to previda on site storage capacity for wastes generated during the ectire usable life of the Haven plant. This is a contradiction of previous state =ents cade by the power co=panies concerning nuclear vaste storage. The International 2eference Grou~p on Great Lakes Pollution from Land Use Activities in its environmental =anagement strategy recort~to the International Joint Consission recognized on site storage of nuclear and other toxic vastes as a potential future hascard. I oppose on site storage of nuclear vastes anywhere~1n the United States.

I feel that through corporate influence nuclear pcVer is recieving an unproportionally large atount of gova*"-a"t support in relation to alternate energy sources. I also feel That the utilities promises. for cheap nuclear power are a farce and are a stumbling block for the cause of energy conservation. The federal government should encourage firms and individuals to install alt'rnate energy and heating systems through grants and tar breaks.

I am also concerned about the water quality of Lake Michigan and the other Great Lakes. Laws should be strictly enforced against point polluters and non-point pollution should be studied' further and combated. Farmers taking action to decrease non-point pollution should recieve enough aid to cr? vent serious financial "urdens.

I deeply appreciate ycur._ concern for the quality of life as shown by your stand on abortion funding. I as against abortion '

and agree with you completely.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours very trul7, 7~~
