@j United Statos Nuclear Regulatory Commission 631 Park Avenue

. King of Prucaia, Pa. 19406 Gentlemen:

i Attached is a copy of the letter I sent to Jorsey

}

Central Power & Light Company.

There are four lagoons being fed with' water from Oyster Creek.

These bomos all have wells on their proporties for drinking water, etc.

Are you peopic positive that the water will not become contaminated?

When Jorcoy Central Power & Light Company were ob-taining perminsion to build this plant they had a meeting for home nad boat owners living in this vicinity.

They stated if the temperature of the water went above 4 degrees than the normal temperature they would have to put cooling towers in to take care of the warm water.

Of course, this was never

,gy done and I believo they do not intend to do it now.

o When we huvo a fish kill becauce the plant shuts down in the winter we havo dead fish covering the entire la-l goon.

They are in the lagoon by the thoucands.

We then have the sea gulls fooding on tho fich.

Our homes, boats, otc.

are covered with droppings from these birds.

There is also an odor from dead fich.

Is this healthy?

The onclosed article states "The removal of the wood structaron along the creek is expected to eliminate the ship-worm probicm tho arca has experienced in past years.

An Atomic Energy Commision report last December pointed to Jersey Contral Power & Light Company s Oynter Creek nuclear generating plant 8

ao the cauce of the shipworm probica.

The study said unusually high water tomperaturoc resulting from the plant's hot water dicchar6e canal cade it poss$ble for the worms to breed in the

-wooden bulkheads and pilings".

They bought the Marinas and will remove all wooden s tructurea,.but how about the home ownura' bulkhonding and pilings on those ;1artoono?

' l/

. Hoping some relief can be.given to the home owners on the legoons bein6 fod by Oys ter Creek, I am Sincerely yours, 1
