Dear Administrative Judges:
Petitioners Westchester Citizen's Awareness Network (WestCAN), Rockland County Conservation Association, Inc. (RCCA), Public Health and Sustainable Energy (PHASE), Sierra Club - Atlantic Chapter (Sierra Club), and New York State Assemblyman Richard L. Brodsky (hereinafter "Petitioners") submit this letter in response to Entergy's letter dated February 19, 2008 concerning the hearing to take place the week of March 10, 2008 in the above referenced proceeding. Petitioners reiterate that Susan Sharpiro, Esq. or Richard Brodsky, Esq. are not available the week of March 10, 2008, as stated by letter dated January 30, 2008.
D ALBANY OFFICE: Room 422, Legislative Office Building, Albany, New York 12248, (518) 455-5753 D DISTRICT OFFICE: 5 West Main Street, Suite 205, Elmsford, New York 10523, (914) 345-0432
Petitioners do not oppose Entergy's suggestion to group contentions that are the same to assist the Board. However, Petitioners strongly oppose Entergy's suggestion that oral argument is not warranted for certain contentions. Petitioners will be prepared to answer the Board's questions concerning any of Petitioners contentions.
Furthermore, Petitioners vigorously oppose Entergy's request that a single representative to present an argument on common~proposed contentions. Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.316 "the Commission or the presiding officer may order any parties in a proceeding who have -
substantially the same interest that maybe affected by the proceeding and who raise substantially the same questions, to consolidate their presentation of evidence, cross-examination, briefs, proposed findings of fact, and conclusions of law and argument. However, it may not order any consolidation that would prejudice the rights of any party." Consolidation would prejudice the rights of all the Petitioners because the petitioners have proposed independent and detailed contentions that are based on different theories and supported by different experts. Petitioners' have a right to fully participate in the oral argument. Moreover the petitioners represent different groups which have different interests. Petitioners should not be required to speak to issues raised by other petitioners. Nor should one representative speak on another's specific contention and which may bind other petitioners. Subsequently, Petitioners should not be denied the right to present their specific contention. Petitioners respectfully ask the Board to deny Entergy's suggestion for the designation of a single representative to present consolidated arguments on behalf of several, differing petitioners.
Petitioners further respectfully request that the Board to order the service list names to be served in future filings since several parties' petitions to intervene have been denied and new names have appeared on the service list without notice. Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.304(e) Petitioners further request that the Board specify that only one copy must be mailed to each address on -the service list even though multiple recipients are listed at the same address.
Finally, Petitioners object to Entergy's informal suggestions to the Board.
Respectfully Sarah L. Wagner cc: service list
