Lou Zellar from BREDL (Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League) will discuss the upcoming SC Dept of Health and Environmental Control waste water hearing and how we may respond to Duke's application. We are also looking forward to his direction in our general campaign to stop the Lee nuke plant. At his suggestion we have obtained a copy of the application ( 3 binders worth) which he has reviewed and will explain to us. I have been talking with the SCDHEC office who told me the hearing would concern 1) the amount of water withdrawn from the Broad River; 2) the temp of water returned to the river; 3) chemical content of water returned.
