Attached is a Ictter this office received from Congressman Albert H. Quie. The letter voices a problem of differing standards issued by your office and the State of Minnesota pertaining to the disposal of radioactive wastes.
Since this is a matter involving intergovernmental relations, perhaps you would review your position in this matter to see if somehow this problem could be resolved.
This office would appreciate receiving a copy of any reply c
directed to Congressman Oule.
Thank you.

ij Dear Governor Boot i
i t-Ric enclosed correspondence deals with a ploblen that has arisen l
between the State of 'Ifnnesota and the Atomic Energy Commission.

I l
Mio !!innenota Follution Control Agency has recommended strict
)
standards for control of radioactivo vastes from the Morthern States Power Co. nuclear plant to be constructed at tonticallo !!!nn.
i l
'Ihese Standards are 50 times mora stringent than AEC standards, but Chairman licliff eld of the Joint Comittee on Atomic Energy maintains the AEC has full say in this natter, y
i j
The company is villing to operate the plant at state standards.
j It seems incongructu that the AEC, uhich has the responsibility for devising strict standards to control pollution, vould insist on far lover standards _ just to exercise its pouer and maintain a national l
uniformity.

I am vondering if there io room within-the Act to reach admin-Istrative agreement hetircen the parties for standards at the icyc1 the stato a;;ency bnlieves wine and prudant on the basis of oxhaustive studies. The uuhject of 1ccislative renody is. being explored sepa-1 rately.
l-l_
In view of your office's-responsibility, it vas-thought that you would appreciate being advised of this ' conflict-for such action as
}
you deem appropriato, p
With best uishes, I am l_
