MonticelloEIS 01-05 to Nuclear Regulatory Commission re power plant Page 1 August 1, 2005 Chief, Rules and Directives Branch Division of Administration Services Office of Administration Mailstop T-6D59 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington DC 20555-000 1 Attn: Federal Registrar June 2, 2005 Pg. 32381-32382

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to your request for public comment on the re-licensure of the Nuclear Power Plant in Monticello, Minnesota.

Let me begin by indicating my support for the re-licensure and briefly mention some of the benefits of the Facility as I have observed them over the years. Obviously there is a huge need for electricity in the Minnesota Region that could be difficult to replace with the loss of this facility. Beyond this fact, there are many local benefits to the Nuclear Plant in Monticello.

It plays an important role in the local economy, both as an employer and taxpayer to local families and governments. The company and its employees have demonstrated their support to the community through donations and volunteer efforts to various local groups, organizations and charities. The plant is reliable, efficient, and most importantly managed in a manner to uphold the highest standards of safety. As a Public Information Official (PIO) of the Wright County Nuclear Emergency Response Team, I know first hand the efforts in place to assure safety at the plant under the unlikely scenario of a system malfunction.

As a member of the Wright County Board of Commissioners that represents the area in which the plant exists, please let me extend my support to NMC in their efforts to re-license the Nuclear Power Plant in Monticello, Minnesota.

Sincerely, Pat Sawatzke Commissioner-District 2
