January 2, 1994 Chief, Enrichment Branch Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguard; Mail Stop 4-E-4 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 To whom it may concern:
Attached is a letter I wrote to the Louisiana Energy Services on April 11, 1993.
I recently read that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement produced by the NRC on the LES plant was released for public review on November 19, 1993.
The-communities of Forest Grove and Center Springs, which are located within one-half mile of the plant site, are never indicated in ADX of the DEIS's 38 maps or diagrams. It's as if these people don't exist! There is only one reference to these two communities which stand to be the most affected by LES included in the DE15's text.
I am concerned that the DEIS on the LES uranium enrichment plant fails to consider the plant's social and economic impact on the communities of Forest Grove and Center Springs.
The DEIS is incomplete.
The final Environmental Impact Statement on LES aust consider all the social and economic impacts on the two communities.

Dear Mr. Arnold:
I am writing out of concern for the communities of Forest Grove and Center Springs, Louisiana.
I understand that the Louisiana Energy application to the Nuclear Regulatory Services submitted an Commission for permission to build a uranium enrichment plant near these two low-income communities even though they expressed adamant opposition to the facility.
How can your consortium justify pursuing a license in the f ace of the solid local opposition to the project?
Polluting water from the plant will be discharged into the Lake A retirement community surrounds the shores Claiborne watershed.
of the lake and there are at least forty homes within five miles of the facility that rely on wells for their drinking water.
1993 Environmental Almanac, Louisiana currently According to the 1
ranks first on the list of the top ten states for toxic discharges It would seem to surface water with 100 million pounds, annually.
that with efforts being made to comply with the Clean Water Act, Louisiana does not need additional pollution from the uranium enrichment plant.
There is also the concern over the 4,000+ tons of radioactive uranium-238 waste that will be produced by the plant, each year.
The radioactive waste that What plans are there for its disposal?
Do we need more?
currently exists cannot be disposed of properly.
Finally, there is already a worldwide oversupply, as well as a shrinking demand for enriched uranium.
I question the need for the proposed facility.
I request that you cancel the Louisiana Energy Services plan to build the uranium enrichnent facility.
Thank you for considering my request and concerns.
Respectfully, Sandra S.
