August 4, 1980 Mr. 2onald L. Ballerd, ':heif Environmental 2ngineering 3 ranch Division cf Engiaearing United Gtstes ::uclear Regulartory Commision Wsshington, D.C.
20555 Oear Mr. 2allard, Your lettar of July 25, 1980 has bean received personally bv myself and I feel that a raply is in order to varify my position.
As my proposal pointed clearly and pisinly, I suspect that there would be no " damage" to local biota pre se.
Gross or massive mutants in locs1 flora is not what I have found.
hisa color infra-red photo'raphy is very good at locating such massive amounts of mutants.
'Jhat I have found is new varieties of plants that are listed within our state as being extramely rare or never before recorded.
I being a degreed botanist felt it necessary to examine these plants more closely, not from serial photography.
As a result of ~our decision, my findings w'11 not be made S trrn ntil a privste investigation has been completed.
I am at liberty to publish your letter i~ tha local newspaper and broadcast your :8.istipprovn1 of our findinric.
Toup have my sincere feelings and truth when I state that
- 'tive found evar t1 unique varieties of plant s within the one-mile radius of Three Mile Island.
tese plants.tre not damaged.
~~
They are alive sad most viable.
Howevar, they are most uniquer in color and eructure.
Jamitge of this type esanot be racoru d by 1 me. chine.
- sm sorr-that you have decided not to be s trt of this ver controvarsial invastintion.
Ir.sdva"tantly it will b.?
proven' ' war studies and on-oing ennitoring program do rot detect "damsge*.
