E. Not applicable.

l 1044 062 ,,ogno 077

INTFRRCGATORY NO. 2: Table S.8.13 of the Final Supplement to the Final Envircnmental Statement, which cites as its source App. SH, p. SH-100 of the Environmental Report, lists all planned and p aposed capa' city additions of 100 MW or more for the 1978 to 1984 period. Why aren't the lignite facilities listed in response to Question #1 included in that table?

ANSWER:

A. Table S.8.13 of the Final Supplement to the FES was prepared by the NRC staff; however, the applicant surmises that the Limestone units were not includad in the table because no plans to construct Limestone existed at the time the FES Supplement was prepared.

B. None.

C. None.

D. W. F. McGuire, Principal Engineer.

E. Not applicable.

INTERROGATORY NO. 3: Table S.8.14 of the Final Supplement to the FES (citing as its source ER Supp. Table S1.1-3) lists installed capacity for the Applicant, 1963 to 1987.

Does this table include the installed capacity represented by the addition of the two lignite units mentioned in Question

  1. 1?

ANSWER:

A. No. See the response to 2A.

B-E. See response to 23-E.

INTERRCGATORY NO. 4: Assuming an affirmative response to

  1. 1, on wnat date did HL&P decide to build lignite units in Limestone County? When is physical construction on those units expected to begin and what is the expected start-up date for each unit?

ANSWER:

A. Inititally in 1977 the plans of HL&P included a lignite facility to be constructed in Freestone County and 1044 063

to be jointly owned by the Dow Chemical Company. Each company was to receive 50% of the output of the two-unit facility scheduled for commercial operation in 1982 and 1983. However, when Dow announced its withdrawal from the project in May 1978, HL&P began plans to develop a wholly owned lignite facility in the same general area. A letter of intent to purchase fuel was signed in June, 1979, and a public announcement of the project was made in July, 1979.

Construction is expected to begin in October, 1981, with commercial operation scheduled for April, 1985 (Unit 1) and April, 1986 (Unit 2).

B. - Letter dated June 6, 1979, W. P. Schmechel, President, Northwestern Resources, to G. W. Oprea, Jr.,

Executive Vice President, EL&P.

C. None. .

D. W. F. McGuire, Principal Engineer.

E. Not applicable.

INTERROGATORY NO. 5: What is the "need for power" basis of constructing both ACNGS and two lignite units in Limestone County?

ANSWER:

A. Applicant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that the question is vague. The term "'need for power' basis" is not defined, is out of context and is without relevance to any admitted contention in this proceeding.

INTERROGATORY NO. 6: Why wasn't Limestone County considered as an alternative site for ACNGS? (Include an explanation of the reason such a site is considered for construction of another power plant in the Applicant's grid, if the site is not suitable for ACNGS.)

ANSWER:

A. The basis for alternate candidate site selection is presented in Chapter 9 of the ACNGS Environmental Report -

Construction Permit Stage.

,3. None.

C. Applicant's Response to TEXPIRG's First Set of Interrogatories to Houston Lighting & Power Company, March 26, 1979.

D. W. F. McGuire, Principal Engineer.

E. Not applicable.

INTERROGATORY NO. 7: During the 66th sessior. of the Texas Legislature (Spring, 1979), what was the position, if any, taken by lobbyists registered on behalf of HL&I, with regard to H.B. 1501/S.S. 794 (Omnibus Solar Energy Act) and H.3.

1935/S.B.804 (Solid Waste Energy Act)? What were the names of the lobbyists advocating those positions on behalf of HL&i'?

ANSWER:

A. Applicant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is not relevant to an admitted contention.

Applicant's position on any legislation is not an issue in this proceeding and has absolutely no relevance to the factual merits of the accepted contentions.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8: Does HL&P have any written correspondence with an industrial energy consortium called CAM? In what officer's custody is that correspondence? State where TEXPIRG may inspect or copy that information.

ANSWER:

A. Applicant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad and burdensome. Applicant's correspondence ranges over multiple issues and is dispersed in a number of files in various departments. Without some reasonable limitation on the scope and purpose of the inquiry, Applicant respectfully declines to oblige. ,

INTERROGATORY NO. 9: For what reasons did HL&P terminate a proposed Joint electrical generation venture with Dow Chemical Company? Does EL&P have any correspondence on this matter, and how may TEXPIRG inspect that infommation?

104406]I ANSWER:

A. Applicant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is not relevant to any admitted contention.

Applicant's negotiations with Dow Chemical Company were not concerned with self-generation nor co-generation techniques.

Since this project has no relevance to the self-generation issue in TEXPIRG Contention 7 nor upon any other issue in an admitted contention, the subject matter is not within the scope of permissible discovery; the request further relates to matters whic.2 are confidential.

INTERROGATOBY NO. 10: What was the projected impact of the venture mentioned in #9 above (at the time it was proposed) upon EL&P's total demand, installed capacity, and reserve margin?

ANSWER:

A. See response to Interrogatory No. 9.

INTERRCGATORY NO. 11: In calculating increased electrical demand within the service area, list by company name and location the industrial users which are expected to comprise 157; or more of the increased industrial demand during the period of the calculation. State the percentage of total increased electrical demand each of these industrial users is expected to be responsible for.

ANSWER:

A. Applicant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague; and Applicant cannot determine whether the question relates to individual companies or cu'stomer groups. The interrogatory is also objectionable in that it is without reference to a specific time.

INTERRCGATORY NO. 12: With respect to the transportation of the reactor vessel, state the location and mode of placing the reactor vessel onto the barge that will enter the San Bernard River. By what means will the reactor vessel be transported to this loading location? Will the loaded barge enter the mouth of the San Bernard River?

1044 066 an.

ANSWER: .

A. The reactor pressure vessel will be fabricated at the Chicago Bridge and Iron Nuclear facility, located on the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee. The vessel will be loaded onto the barge at the CBIN facility and will be ultimately transported up the San Bernard River to the off-loading point.

3. None.

C. Applicant's Answers to Hinderstein's Second Set of Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents, April 17, 1979.

D. Jim Heidt, Project Engineer, General Electric.

E. The Applicant has retained Dames & Moore to prepare an environmental impact assessment of transporting the reactor pressure vessel to the Allens Creek site. This assessment will be presented through the testimony of an employee of Dames & Moore; however, the specific witness has not been identified at this time. It is conceivable that this testimony could address matters specific to this interro-gatory.

INTERROGATORY NO. 13: Has EL&P received any communication, oral or written, from the NRC staff indicating that the Applicant shoula obtain a certificate of necessity an1 convenience from the Public Utility Commission prior te proceeding with construction permit application processes?

If so, what was the date of that communication?

ANSWER:

In this capacity, Mr. Betterton is ultimately responsible for all environmental studies and analyses conducted by the company or its consultants.

INTERRCGATORY NO. 22: At 9.2.2.1.3 of the Environmental Report, an evaluation of W. A. Parish site, EL&P states:

1044 071

"The present cooling pond, while generally considered unproductive, has been found to support catfish, gar, and alligator." (emphasis added) Both the NRC staff and HL&P conclude that ACNGS' cooling will be productive for recrea-tional game-fish. What factors are responsible for the ACNGS pond being more productive than the Parish pond?

ANSWER:

A. Smithers Lake, the W. A. Parish cooling pond, has never been stocked or managed as a fishery, nor have any fishery habitat improvements been made in the pond. Therefore, it is expected that the lake would be dominated by catfish, gar cnd alligator; hence, the classification " unproductive."

The Allens Creek lake is designed to provide fish habitat and will have a fishery management program.

B. None.

C. None.

D. Dr. F. G. Schlicht, Principal Scientist.

E. EL&P has no plans to present testimony concerning the productivity of Smithers Lake. However, Dr. Frank G.

Schlicht and Dr. Lial Tischler are expected to present testimony concerning the productive capability and expected water quality parameters of the Allens Creek 5000-acre cooling lake.

INTERRCGATORY NO. 23: Describe the present state of recreational usage of the cooling pond at W. A. Parish. Will the level of recreational usage be similar or different at ACNGS' pond? Please explain any basis for your statement.

ANSWER:

l .

D. Dr. F. G. Schlicht, Principal Scientist.

E. Dr. Schlicht is expected to present testimony concerning the recreational use of the Allens Creek reservoir.

It is not expected that any testimony will be presented concerning recreational use of Smithers Lake.

INTERROGATORY NO. 24: Was the airport proposal by Hou-West, Inc., anc the predecessor developer, City of Katy, considered i in HL&P's Environmental Report or alternative site comparisons?

If so, where?

ANSWER:

A. No.

B. None.

C. None.

D. J. G. White, Supervising Engineer, EL&P.

E. The Applicant has no plans to present testimony specifically related to matters addressed in this interrogatory.

However, tne Applicant has retained Mr. Keith Woodard of Pickard, Lowe and Garrick, Inc., to prepare testimony related to probability of airplane crashes. It is conceivable that portions of Mr. Woodard's testimony could be related to this interrogatory.

INTERROGATORY NO. 25: Was underground siting considered as an alternative plant design? If not, why not?

ANSWER:

A. Applicant objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that TEXPIRG'S Acting Executive Director, John F.

Doherty. represented to Applicant's counsel in his deposition under oath that TEXPIRG had dropped the underground siting portion of its Contention 6. DeDosition of John F. Doherty, at 129, March 26, 1979. Hence, this interrogatory is not relevant to any persisting contention.

INTERROGATORY NO. 26: On page 9.3-2 of the Environmental Report, relative weightings are assumed in the comparisons of various environmental impacts. What is the basis and rationale underlying these ratings? For example, why is 4

l l 1044 073

" ecological sensitivity" half as important as " land use" in this system? And, why is " water use" half as important as

" land use?"

ANSWER:

A. The " ratings" referenced in the Environmental Report were arrived at on the basis of the judgments of experts retained by Applicant who had expertise in determining the relative importance of the factors used in the weighting process. Applicant presumes differences in weighting given to ecological sensitivity, land use, and water use were based on the judgment of these experts.

B. " Coastal Sites Study for HL&P Company," dated January, 1973, prepared by Ebasco Services, Inc.

C. None.

D. W. F. McGuire, Principal Engineer.

E. See response to 6E.

INTERROGATORY NO. 27: Would the alternative site comparison have resulted in the same results if all the environmental impacts had been equally weighted?

ANSWER:

A. Applicant objects to answering a hypothetical question based on the unsupported conjecture that all environ-mental factors should be equally weighed. Applicant has not done such an analysis and does not believe it could be done on a rational basis beca'Ise there is absolutely no rationale for giving equal weight to all ranking factors.

INTERROGATORY NO. 28: The Environmental Report clearly delineates that alternative sites were first " narrowed down" by considering water and likely watersheds. However, what methods and factors were used to determine which specific sites within a watershed would be compared as alternative sites?

ANSWER:

A. The sites described in Section 9.2.2 of the Environmental Report were determined to be sites that were 1044 074

worthy of further considerations and evaluation under siting criteria estaclished by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and these sites were so evaluated. The initial identification of these sites was derived from prior siting studies which have been produced to TEXPIRG for its inspection and copying.

B. See response to 30A.

ACNGS ER Section 9.2.2.

C. None.

D. W. F. McGuire, Principal Engineer.

E. See response to 21E.

INTERROGATORY NO. 29: Explain the nature of " potential operating and reliability problems" associated with over-developing generating capacity on one side of the system, as mentioned at 9.2.1.2 of the ER.

ANSWER:

A. The potential operating and reliability problems mentioned in ER Section 9.2.1.2 are those which develop as a result of a large increase in generation facilities in a particular area without a corresponding increase in transmission capacities. In a situation where there is

. little excess transmission capacity and limited room for expansion, connection of additional generation would possibly require generation reductions during transmission interruptions l or other abnormal operating periods.

3. None.

C. None.

D. R. h. Delgado, Principal Engineer, HL&P.

i E. Applicant does intend to present testimony by

! Donald R. Betterton which could address in some manner, as yet undetermined, the matters addressed in this response.
