NEW ENGLAND COALITION. INC.'S SECOND MOTION TO COMPEL Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323 and the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board's ("the Board's) Initial Scheduling Order in this matter, issued November 17, 2006, the New England Coalition, Inc. (NEC) moves to compel the clarification of portions of Entergy's Third Supplemental privilege logs, attached hereto as Exhibits 1-2, and to compel the production of documents, as follows:
- 1. Entergy claims work product privilege for e-mail with attachments on the subject of hydrothermal modeling. Exhibit 1, entries 534-536. NEC requests that the Board require Entergy to clarify whether the attachments contain modeling results/data, and to produce any such results/data.
- 2. Entergy claims work product privilege for a 2005 e-mail on the subject of NPDES permit renewal. Exhibit 2. NEC requests that the Board require Entergy to state the actual purpose for which this document was prepared, and to produce it if it was prepared for the purpose of developing or supporting Entergy's application to the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources for its NPDES permit(s), § 316 determination or variance and equivalent permits and supporting documentation, or if it otherwise concerns the administrative proceedings before the Agency of Natural Resources concerning this permit(s).
- 3. Entergy has produced additional Third Supplemental Privilege Logs that appear identical to Entergy's Second Supplemental Privilege Logs, attached as Exhibits 13-15 to NEC's first Motion to Compel (January 16, 2007). If Entergy makes any new claims of privilege in these logs to which the arguments stated in NEC's first Motion to Compel would apply,
'It is not entirely clear that they are identical to logs previously produced. One of them includes the same number of entries, but is not the same number of pages.
"Te( y-_-Ec
NEC hereby moves to compel production for the reasons stated in its first Motion to Compel.
NEC incorporates by reference the arguments for clarification of Entergy's privilege logs and for production of documents stated in NEC's first Motion to Compel (January 16, 2007).
Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.323(a), and the Board's Initial Scheduling Order, NEC's counsel e-mailed Entergy's counsel on February 9 and 12, 2007 to request clarification of the degree of overlap between Entergy's Second Supplemental and Third Supplemental privilege logs, and regarding NEC's intent to file this motion. To date, Entergy's counsel has not responded.
