Dear Mr. Bernero:
I look forward to the public' forum on August 24th concerning Combustion Engineering.
It is important that all relevant facts concerning potential health and environmental impacts of'the Combustion Engineering plant expansion and operation be brought to light.
Because of the many concerns expressed by area residents, I.
have prepared a series.of questions which should be" addressed and adequately answered at this hearing.
I am providing to you a copy of these questions beforehand so that you.may have sufficient time to prepare answers.
The questions and concerns are as follows:
1.
Why is Combustion Engineering requesting permission to handle fuel which contains a' higher percentage of uranium than previously processed at Hematite?
2.
The total discharged pollutants into river and air have decreased by.a substantial percentage in the last decade.
In view of this fact why is Combustion Engineering requesting permission to increase air emissions and water effluents?
3.
Has the state of Missouri given its OK for any increased emissions?
4.
What plans have been prepared to reduce emissions?
5.
Has the state or a national agency requested such a plan?
