Subject:

Fulton Generating Station NRC Docket Nos. 50-463 and 5'0-464

Dear Mr. Denise:

At the May meeting of the Fulton Township Planning Co::::ission I was authorized to inform you that the Commission is unalterably opposed to the c on the site proposed by Philadelphia Electric Company i on-In June, the lancaster County Planning Commission,1973, af ter many months of the Fulton Township supervisors development of the township. adopted a comprehensive land use ordinanc cocx: unity and it was our judgement,We are essentially a rural agricultural-oriented uture and still is, by Philadelphia Electric. location for a large, major industrial operation such as oned dustrial activities in a limited area that is so identifiedOur zoning ordinance The site chosen by Philadelphia Electric comprises chiefly land now agricultural on a high point of land adjoining the Susquehanna River and is zoned of the most attractive areas in the township.

one To permit for a giant power plant would contravene our zoning ordinancethis site to be used farmland from the tax rolls, and, with its five hundred foot cooling t

, remove valuable resevoirs and railroad cocx:2 unity, part of which is utilized by the public as a local resort are

owers, a.

the life of its construction permit application by applying for ong review.

Such a review in our opinion is unwarranted and inappropriate an early site strongly urge that announced intention to seek termination of Philadelphia Electr We and deny the site review request.

in this township would constitute a local disasterWe believe that the location of th on p lant the project can be terminated the better.

Therefore the soccer Very truly yours, WS
