aK/110."I FOR A hlJLILG BY TRE ATOi~IIC SAP'a'TY AhD LICEt BI.'!G BOARD and A PETITIvti TO ThE GOVc'.i.i OR OF PEtst<BYLVAhIA
~22 The Citizens Aga'nst huclear Dangers (Citizens), Berwick, Pa.
are informing the Board tt;at the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company
? as applied to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Fesources (DER) for a permit to discharge industrial waste, such as chloride, from the Berwick atom'c pcwer plant, sometime in the future, into the Su quehanna River and into the biosphere.
This is the subject of various admitted content ons pending b fore the Board, namely Contentions Dos. 1, 2, 9, 11, 16, 18, et al.
(l<RC Docket thos.
50-387 6 50-388).
The Citizens object to the Applicant's apparent defiance of the Board's Order of ibrch 6, 1979.
The P P.h L., as a party to the tlFC lice.". ing proceedings, has Wowingly disregarded the fact that there are legal contentions rai"ed by the inter veners relating to the discharge of industria'aste that will be litigated at public hearings before the Board ir. the near future.
If the permit application is not witt:drawn, and, if the DFF. acts on the P.P.8: L. application before the ti&C hear'ngs are concluded, then the Applicant w'll be flauntirg the intent'f the i!RC licensing procedures.
The mere fact that a permit request has been made to the DER is evidence of the Applicant's callous disregard for the Board's adjudicative powers.
The electric company seems to be mak'ng a mockery of establi hed Federal licensing rules and regulations by this circumvention.
In light of the Three-iH.le-Island catastz ophe and expose, this is incredibly irresponiblet The Citi ens, therefore, seek a ruling from the Board restraining the P.P.&. L. from obtaining government permits, including the industrial cS waste d'sposal permit from the DEP. cited above, that involve envirorz:ental and safety matters before the Board, prior to the evidential hear'ngs for the Ber wick operating license.
The DER, by the way, is supposedly a party to the intervention.
But, how can the DER issue a permi prior to obtaining the findings of fact and the decisions of the Boards A PETITION c
5z cQ Because the DER is a party to the intervention, the Citizens hereby petition the Governor of the Cor."..onweaith of Pennsylvania to is"ue an Execut've Order, or other decree in the public inte"est, declaring a
moratorium on the issuance of state permits for the Berwick atomic project until the 'r.'uclear Regulatory Cor.""..ission's environmental and g/i /~g safety related pub'ic..ear'ngs are conc'uded. r I
