o PENNSYLVANIA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY f,
P.O. BOX 3321 HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17105-3321 June 28, 1985 -
Mr. James R. Asher Chairman of RAC Federal Emergency Management Agency Region III 105 South 7th Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106
Dear Mr. Asher:
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) respectfully requests that Chester County be permitted to fully participate in the April 3,
1986 exercise involving the Limerick Generating Station, and all subsequent exercises with that facility.
- Further, it is requested that Chester County partially participate in the October 16, 1986 exercise involving the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, and all subsequent exercises with that facility.
This partial participation would include transmitting messages back and forth to the single municipality involved, sounding the sirens, activating the EBS, and performing any other vital and necessary functions.
It is our belief that such an arrangement will assure that the best interests of the citizens of Chester County, as well as all other interested parties, will be best served without slighting anyone.
- Further, such an arrangement will not unnecessarily burden the Chester County Emergency Management Agency.
Your favorable response to this request is solicited.
With best wishes and kind regards, I am
. Sincerely, Donald F. Taylor Director Office of Training and Education DFT:tj l (Tel:
