Mr. Stanley Nietubicz 7531 Erie St.

Estral Beach Newport, Michigan 48166 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III Glen Ellyn, IL To Whom it May Concern; Problems and Solutions attendant to the Enrico Fermi II l

Nuclear Power Facility and it's surrounding environs, as affected by natural geographic location and " Acts of God".

The location of the Enrico Fermi II Nuclear Power Plant is situated in the midst of a residential area.

Further this residential location is fronted by the shallowest basin of Lake Erie.

As a result of recent but gradual natural phenomena, the depth of this basin has increased to a degree that the surrounding portions of Monroe and Wayne etc. counties in Michigan become inundated by floodwaters even in the instance of comparatively minor winds from certain directio.ns.

Past experience with Nuclear Power Facilities ~ (spelled "Three Mile Island") have pinpointed the absolute necessity of a viable evacuation route in adjacent residential entities j

,f encompassing the residential sphere potentially becoming lf uninhabitable in the event.of a mechanical and/or human error resulting in the release of toxic and/or radioactive materials in 'the surrounding areas.

op!

The writer who is a long time resident of Estral Beach

/,'

lives within one mile of the subject Enrico Fermi II reactor.

and the incorporated Village in which he resides is at this writing in peril of inaccesibility for either Egress or Ingress in the event of such a minor occurrence as a brisk northeast i

wind.

Further it is common knowledge in this area that many other residential entities from the City of Gibralter south to the Ohio State Line are instantly in nearly similar peril.

One of the basic promises of the Detroit Edison Company's o

a > -

'and the. State of Michigan's declarations to the residents of the potentially affected area is that the least and foremost of l

their efforts.co guarantee safety will be a viable escape route for the residents where none may currently exist.

At this writing of April 15, 1985, there is no viable evacuation route from either Estral Beach or possible Stoney Point, when flooding occurs, based on recent flood conditions.

These two areas are immediately adjacent to the Enrico Fermi II l

Power Plant.

The cause of the problem is two-fold:

Initialy there is not a thoroughfare in existance from these areas which general exodus, and even more primary, there could accomo'date a i

is no known plan in the offing to prevent the present though obviously inadequate existing roads from becoming rendered impassable by Lake Erie flooding.

It is eminently expected that in the very ne,ar future a license may be issued to begin. normal operation of the Enrico l

Fermi II Power Plant.

The writer contends that to allow this j.

operation to begin without first satisfactorily addressing and remedying the very basic flood threatened existing evacuation l

facilities is amountable to a criminal offense against the j

residence, and must not be allowed to hapgen.

If needed that the government entities-involved institute i

legal action to rectify this obviously existent situation I, l

(we) do herel-implore that it be done with the greatest.of

.c dispatch by 6 involved.
