FOR IIOLEDIATE RELEASE New York State Electric & Gas Corporatiot. Said today that it has been asked by theNuclbarRegulatoryCommission (NRCJ to identify four locations which can serve as alternates to the two the utility has already chosen as possible sites for a proposed nuclear generating station.

Allen E. Kintigh, the Company's vice president-generation, said that one of these alternate sites lies in the Town of Gardiner, Ulster County, which is 10 miles west of the Hudson River and ll bilet west of Poughkeepsie.

Mr. Kintigh said he has notified William Keeping, Town Supervisor.for Gardiner, that the Gardiner site is under consider-ation.

The three other alternate sites are near the upper Hudson, Susquehanna and Mohawk rivers.

Mr. Kintigh emphasized that in designating these alternates NYSE&G is merely complying with NRC requirements and has no wish to build the plant there.

Instead, he said, the Company's firm plan is to locate the 2,500-megawatt nuclear plant in the Town of New Haven near Lake Ontario and nine miles east of Oswego.

Its preferred alternate site lies within the Tcwn of Stuyvesant near the Hudson River and north of the City of Hudson.

"New llaven and Stuyvesant are the two sites where we have serious intentions," said Mr. Kintigh.

Ile pointed out that NYSE&G and Long Island Lighting Company, its partner in this project, chose those two after conducting a statewide site search from May 1975 to July 1976.

The two companies then performed more than a year of environmental, engineering, economic and rocial studies at the two sites before making New flaven their first choice and Stuyvesant their second in April 1978.

The companies included both sites in their application last November to the New York State Zoard on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment for permission to build the nuclear plant.

They cited New Haven in their application to the NRC last November.

By contrast, said Mr. Kintigh, "no extensive studies have been carried out in Gardiner or at the other three alternate sites.

At present therefore only New IIaven or Stuyvesant can be licensed as power plant sites."

./

IIowe ve r, he explained, these four alternate sites will enable the NRC staff to conduct their own independent site analysis.

"We are confident that, after completing their evaluation, the NRC staff will reaf fi.m our selection of New IIaven as a good power p' ant site," he said.

Anyone wishing to receive more information about the power plant p oject or the Gardiner site should contact Michael J.

Ray, manager--nuclear projects, NYSE&G, 4500 Vestal Parkway East, Binghamton, New York 13902.

The two utilities hope to start construction of the plant in 1982 and to complete the first 1,250-megawatt generating unit in 2,]

1991 and the recond 1,250-megawatt unit in 19 3/12/79 '
