RE: South Branch Forked River / Oyster Creek l Nuclear Generating Station

Dear Chairman Zech:

Enclosed is'a copy of a Resolution of the Forked River Civic Association of May 7, 1990, signed ~by the Association President Raymond Taylor. t

! - This Resolution and copies of all the attached related

documents are pertaining to an-ongoing. dispute in Lacey. y Township concerning severe shoaling of the. south branch of the '

Forked-River and adjacent lagoons, j q

o To'synopsize as briefly as possible, the south branch of the~ Forked River and nearby. lagoons are shoaled severely. -

i Jersey Central Power & Light has attempted to dredge the l waterway and has indicated its willingness to also dredge. areas i of nearby lagoons which are also badly shoaled. l This matter has been involved in the Courts for sometime,  !

l and the Developer of the area owns-most of the riparian rights. Superior Court Judge William H. Huber has ruled that

, JCP&L must' pay the Developer to dredge areas of his privately )

riparian owned lands.-

Mr. Taylor and the members of the Forked River Civic ,

Association are appealing to us for any possible assistan7e to I try to ameliorate these circumstances. The water front areas of-these lagoons have become diminished in value and residents are unable to use them for boating and other recreational activities because of their shallowness.

, i Perhaps of a more urgent concern, the shoaling in the-south branch of the Forked. River has greatly reduced the value of water and raises strong concerns among area residents that- j the' Oyster Creek-Facility has the appropriate volume of water which is necessary-for the cooling process.

Accordingly, we would be most appreciative if you would i provide personal attention in reviewing these particuler and complex problems involving the Oyster Creek Nuclear Gcan'ating 1 Station. We would urge your Agency to do everything ptenible to try to resolve this problem and to accomplish this dredging project for both the safety.and quality of life of-the.

residents of the Forked River Civic Association. We appreciate your attention to this' problem and would welcome your assistance in any possible way. We do look forward to hearing L from you in the near future in order that we may provide your-findings to the Forked River Civic Association.

Sincerely, Y f. e (
