Stop I-3 Board Comments, Questions Nuclear Complex 2030 Environmental Impact Statement
Letter to Theodore A. Wyka, Complex 2030 SEIS Document Manager, from the Stop I-3 Coalition

The Stop I-3 Coalition would like to make the following points and pose the following questions regarding the Department of Energy/ National Nuclear Security Administration plans for Complex 2030, which involves significantly increasing nuclear weapons activities at Oak Ridge, TN and Savannah River Site, SC, with accompanying nuclear materials transport on the highways of the Southeast region. This is the final version of our comment for the Complex 2030 EIS scoping phase and should replace the preliminary statement we filed at Oak Ridge, Tennessee on Nov 13, 2006. Read more...

A Letter from Bob Massey to the Cherokee County, N.C. Commissioners:

All we need do is look south to our friends in Jasper, Ellijay , and Blue Ridge to see just how fast an interstate can eat communities. If I-3 comes to fruition then we will be truly caught in the cross hairs of 2 interstates I -575, I-3, plus Corridor "K" Our community will not stand a chance. I am not opposed to economic progress, but when I hear the phrase "I-3 will bring an economic boom to the area" it's the BOOM part of the phrase that frightens me. Boom, usually indicates rapid, unplanned growth and development without regard to existing community culture or heritage. We will continue to grow, prosper and expand inspite of I-3, but hopefully not with all the trappings that an interstate brings, crime, noise and air pollution, and perhaps most importantly, we will not be asked to sacrifice our sense of identity, and community.

Everybody's Mountains: Georgia Wildlife Federation Opposes I-3
Letter to Representative Norwood

This letter is being written on behalf of more than 40,000 members of
the Georgia Wildlife Federation who enjoy hunting, fishing, bird watching,
hiking and other outdoor activities in the state of Georgia, including the
North Georgia Mountains. Conservation of wildlife habitat is an important
issue for the members of our organization and I am writing to express our
opposition to the proposed Interstate highway 3 that will link Savannah with
Knoxville, Tennessee by way of the mountains of North Georgia and Western
North Carolina. Read more...
