JOINT APPLICANTS' ANSWER TO INTERVENOR LARRY BARD'S MOTION SEEKING EXTENSION OF TIME FOR FIRST ROUND DISCOVERY REQUESTS On June 4, 1979, joint applicants Arizona Public Service Company, Southern California Edison Ccmpany, El Paso Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Nevada Power Company, Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles, City of Anaheim, City of Burbank, City of
- Glendale, City of Pasadena, and City of Riverside (the
" Joint Applicants") received a copy of Intervenor Larry Bard's motion seeking an extension of time for answering and filing first round discovery re uects to July 1, 1979.
s First round discovery requests by the three par-ties were to be filed 30 days after iscuance of the Drafe Environmental Statement (DES).
Assuming the date of the 401 031 aiU 7907190706
notice of availability of the DES for Palo Verde Units 4 and 5,
April 19, 1979, constitutes the date of issuance of uhe
- DES, first round discovery requests were to be filed by May 21, 1979.
Under Section 2.740b of the Commission's Rules of Practice, written interrogatories are to be ans-wered within 14 days after service.
Joint Applicants' interrogatories were se:Ned on May 21, 1979; therefore, answers were to be served by Mr. Bard by June 4, 1979.
Mr. Bard gives four reasons in support of his request.
It is Joint Applicants' position that the reasons given do not constitute an adequate basis for granting Mr.
Bard's motion.
Therefore, Joint Applicants respectfully request that this Licensing Board issue an crder denying the motion and directing Mr. Bard to file his discovery requeses and answers to Joint Applicants' interrogatories within five (5) days of the date of his receipt of the Board's eder.
As such an order would in effect graue Mr. Bard an extension of more than 30 days, ccmpliance with the order should not present a hardship to Mr. Bard.
Joint Applicants do wish to comment briefly on some of Mr. Bard's statements respecting his attempts to obtain materials from Joint Applicants on an informal basis.
Joint Applicants refer specifically to Mr. Bard's statements on the second page of his request that attorneys for Joint Applicants have failed to return his phone calls on two occasions, and that as of the date of his motion, he had 40h received no information requested from the Joint Applicants informally.
As far as the phone calls are concerned, Joint Applicants do acknowledge that Mr. Bard did call the attor-neys for Joint Applicants on May 22, 1979.
The undersigned attorney attempted to reach Mr. Bard that same day but neither Mr. Bard nor anyone alse answered the phone.
The undersigned attorney also attempted to reach Mr. Bard during normal working hours on May 23, May 24, and May 25, 1979, with the same result.
It was not until the following week that Joint Applicants were able to reach Mr. Bard at the number left by him.
With referer - to Mr. Bard's statement that he had not received any information requested informally by him, Jint Applicants wish to note that Mr. Bard was provided with the following dccuments per his request on March 9, 1979:
1.
One copy of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 4 and 5 (PVNGS 4 & 5) Environ-mental Report, Construction Permit Stage (ER-CP), Volumes 1-6.
