Homer,. Louisiana i
Dear Sirs,
I am writing this letter to express my deep concern and dismay.regarding the' recent decision made by the Louisiana Energy Services to build an Uran 2um I
Enrichment Plant in Homer, Louisiana.
It is my understanding the plant will be built on property adjoining the property owned by the Youngblood Family. I am a member of_the Youngblood family and am very much aware of the potential danger in connection to Uranium plants.
The houses on my property and surrounding property are occupied by my family and people that have been there for many years. There are people who have built their lives, raised their children, have-irreplaceable memories, l
and would like to know there are no future dangers in connection with the Uranium plant and radioactive / emissions consisting of particles and/or rays j
threatening their future generations.
If the Uranium plant is built on said property, the dangers,_which I have just spoke of, will eventually become reality and the innocent' people that'
~
l I have spoke of will have to uproot themselves and their families.and're-locate to avoid the dangers.
Some of the residing people are elderly and there is no place _for them to go.
This,;too, disturbs me and I feel it's simply unfair. Place yourselves l
An our shoes for a moment. How would this make you feel to know of the
'l potential dangers that could be facing your family and friends.
l My grandparents and parents worked hard to the day of their departures to ensure and secure this land, and again I think it's totally unfair for this
'j to happen to my family. Just as my grandparents and parents worked hard to j
secure something for their families, we, too, must work even harder as a-a 1
family to ensure their work'was not done in vain.

t Radioactive elements kill the human body eventually as time goes by.
My family and friends are loved and very important to me.
The thought of the possibility that radioactive elements will shorten their life'8 pen'is to painful to even think about especially when it can be avoided.
I ask that you re-evaluate your positions in this matter and reconsider the lives involved in your. decision making. Consider the irreplaceable memories, and the building of many generations that have taken place ever the years on that land which apparently means nothing to.the people making the decisions. Overall, consider the lives that will be destroyed if your plans are put into action, and most importantly, ask yourselven if you will
~
be able to sleep at night knowing you have unnecessarily inconvenienced and place in danger a lot of innocent people, especially the elderly. Don't i
destroy and crumble dreans that tood years of hard work to bring to reality, Thanking you in advance, M
