Environmental Impact Statement - radioactive monticello

Appendix A
I feel very confident that I can speak for previous councils because this is an issue that came
up quite some time ago, and Xcel kind of delayed it for some reason. They're looking at
different things. But, past councils and the present council, I think are well behind Xcel, hoping
that everything goes well, hoping that they stay a part of, a huge part of the community like they
have been. (MS-H-i)
Comment: I'm here tonight to provide my support and comments on our request to renew the
operating license for the Monticello plant. The mission of everyone who works at Monticello is
very clear and very simple: safe, reliable, and economic operation of the plant. And, quite
frankly, the safety of the public and the safety of our employees is the No. 1 priority and has
been and continues to be as we operate. And as part of that, two of our key values includes
being a good neighbor and a good steward of the environment in which we operate, and
certainly that's very pertinent to tonight. (MS-I-1)
Comment: I would like to recommend to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission that Xcel
Energy be granted an operating license renewal for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

Comment: I am writing to express my support for the relicensing of the Monticello Xcel (sic)
Energy Nuclear Power Plant. I have been a resident of Monticello for over forty years. During
that time, I have had ample opportunity to see the impact of the plant in our community. This
impact has been nothing but positive throughout that time. (MS-L-l)
Comment: I am writing to give my support for the renewal of the license of the Xcel Energy
Monticello plant. Loch Jewelers has been in Monticello since 1977. Our personal experience

worked well with the business community, exhibiting good ethics and sound business practices
and putting the safety of the community first. (MS-M-l)

Comment: I have lived and worked in Monticello for the past twenty one years. I am writing
