Enclosure June 5,1985 Mr John J Stefano Project Manager

Dear Sir,

When I addressed the Atomic Safety Board. I told them that in Akron Ohio a house blew up, because the methane gas seeped into the basement.

All other houses were evacuated. (Near a landfill)

I only used the article in the News Hearld as an example that gas seeps into the area around the landfill. You probably didn't hear my,i) hole story .

  • 1Vp miles west of the Perry Nuclear plant (more or less) the County of Lake has a baler landfill 250 acres twice the site in Geauga County if not larger. Compressed refuse stacked 20 to 40 feet high over 250 acres, prevaling winds are from the west.

My consnon sense tells me that sooner or later this site is going to be problem. You say that Methane Gas goes upward. Minimal horizontal transport, if this is so why did that house blow up by the Akron landfill? Lucky no one was home I think its better to be safe than sorry.

Sincerely, Milton Hite 2 b 2683 Larchview Dr. I Painesville Ohio 44077 /k )g.
