Re: 3 Mile Island Nuclour Power Station, Susquehanna River, . . ;f.

Ament (1) (7-21 67), Londond erry Townchip, Dauphin "rs County, Pennsylvania p

Dear Sir:

.[<

...p I am the owner of a residential property fronting on the Susquehanna River in the Borough of Goldsboro, York Count", Pa.

l l:

I understand that a nuclear station is being planned by the Metropolitan Edison Company on 3 Mile Island in the Susquehanna Nl -

River, oppcsite the Borough, and that the installation is to be +

. . approved by the Ato:1c Energy Commission. , 3,, l; "i

-^ "The Susquehanna River, at this location, has, already, been ll da :ed by the Metropolitan Edison Company and the York Haven Mill , ."

Co=pany. 3e effect of the dam has been to increase high water . 4 i elevations up river, which are at the critical stage during periods M of flooding a::d high water and perio6s of ja==ing of ice. -,. .N g

It is hoped that in the new construction that no further W'

de inution of the flood plain of the river by construction of dykes, fills or other obstructions in the bed of the river is contemplated. '"

?!

Ctherwise, I foci that the residences and land now subject to

' occasional or minor flooding will become more severely flooded, -

because of the reduced area of the flood plain.

l I have discussed this probability with a group of my neighbors, ,

who have residences in the area subject to flooding under current conditions, .and they are aprehensive of the effect of the proposed progra==e.

er truly y ,
