What can normally be expected in industrial expansion and residential development as a spin-off of a power plant? What can we expect the social cost to be to our local committees as schools, police, jails. rec- reation facilities, sewers and treatment plants (lagoons)? What is the effect of power plant related pollution on food plants such as beans. tomatoes, potatoes. lettuce, alfalfa. tabacco, onions, etc.?

The resolution also suggests that establishment of a gener- ating station in Huron would produce pollution that would lower yields in allcrops to varying degrees of up to 50 percent for white beans and also corn, alfalfa, onions lettuce,. etc. It continued to say that a loss of gross yield of Huron County crops of from one to three per cent will mean a loss to the economy of from one to three million dollars per year.
