<br /> ... .~dminimation Dear Mayor Sather:

<br /> * Engineering As you have no doubt heard, Northern States Power Company is seeking approval
<br /> *Impections from the State Legislature to temporarily store spent nuclear fuel on site in
<br /> * Planning
<br /> * Data Processing large, well-protected dry casks at the Red Wing Pr~irie Island Nuclear Power
<br /> Plant.
<br /> PtlBUC SER\tlCES
<br /> 229 Tyler Rd. No. Since 1986, at least six other nuclear plants have stored this material in
<br /> i612i388-67S6
<br /> FAX 388-0243 similar containers until the Federal Government's long-term storage facility
<br /> is ready to receive high-level waste. In addition, all applicable State and
<br /> * Streets Federal regulatory agencies have approved NSP's proposal.
<br /> * Parks
<br /> *Cemel.€'nes
<br /> 11: Refl1Se The City of Red Wing needs your help. We strongly support the legislature
<br /> 1I:WaterCtilities granting this approval, If it is not approved and the plant is forced to shut
<br /> 11: Sewer Etilities down, the loss of this efficient power source will drive all of our electric
<br /> *CentraISen.."'iee
<br /> rates up. This is conservatively estimated at $1.8 billion from our city
<br /> POweE STATlO~ treasuries and our constituents in the form of higher electric bills.
<br /> 5OOW,6thSt.
<br /> (612),188.2804 The power plant is a significant tax revenue for the City. If the plant is
<br /> FAX 38:;.318ii shut down, our tax base is lost. Red Wing would soon start collecting local
<br /> FIRE STATlOS government aid, taking money away from other cities.
<br /> 420 Plll.m St.
<br /> (612) 38fi-7141 On behalf of the City, we feel our best alternative is for the legislature to
<br /> PUBLIC LIBRARY approve this temporary storage. We all can "win" by avoiding higher electric
<br /> 225 Ea~tA\'e rates and lost local government aid. The facility is in our "front yard" and
<br /> WrDD 16U. 388.2SS4 the City of Red Wing, along with the vast majority of our citizens, favors
<br /> FAX388-~B85 this proposal and accepts the very minimal risk. Won't you join us? We need
<br /> SOLID WASTE BOILER your help.
