Environmental Projects Branch 2 Division of Site Safety and.

8 Environmental Analysis U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission I- Washington, D. C. 20555 Refer to: Docket No. 50-387, 50-388 Draft Environmental Statement Operation of Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, PA

Dear Mr. Regan:

Our Milwaukee Off Ice has forwarded this Statement to us for review and comment, as National Forest lands are not involved.

The proposed use of 2,4,5-7 as a weed control agent in rlghts-of-way ls ll legal foi lowing the emergency order by EPA suspend-ing use of 2,'4,5-T on forests rights-of-way, and pastures (Federal Register Yot 44, page l5874, March I5, l979). Ne believe a discussion of alternative weed-control methods should be Included ln the Final Statement Formulations of ammonium sulfamate, d lcamba or bromacll could be considered Discussion of the coal and uranium fuel cycles should Include the indirect effect of mining on The landscape. This effect ls becoming more severe as the more productive sites are ex-hausted and more digging ls needed for every ton of fuel.

Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this Statement.
