ORDER RELATIVE TO INTERVENORS' FILING DIRECT TESTIMONY, INTERVENORS ' MOTION TO CONTINUE AND LIMITED APPEARANCE STATEMENTS Due to trial commitments, counsel for Intervenors verbally requested that the Intervenors' direct testimony due date be postponed to be "in our hands" on Monday, January 22, 1979.
They had previously obtained the con-currence of Applicant and Staff that the testimony could be filed ten (10) days prior to the hearing.
The Board granted the request that the testimony be "in the hands" of the Board and the parties on January 22, 1979.
On January 5, 1979, Intervenors moved that the hearing scheduled for January 29, 1979, be continued on the basis that the State of North Carolina's position on the question of alternate sites is still open and Intervenors have petitioned for a hearing in order that the reopened question 7902030.010
. of alternate sites may be properly considered.
Intervenors state that it is their position that Lake Norman does present one of many obviously superior sites and that the availability of condenser cooling, as well as cooling towers, is one of the many reasons for the obvious superiority of this site.
Inter-venors request this Licensing Board to postpone its hearing until the State of North Carolina, through its appropriate agencies, has made a decision about the availability of con-denser cooling on Lake Norman.
The NRC Staff and the Applicant both filed in opposition on January 15, 1979.
Both parties recited the history of Intervenors' efforts to gain support from North Carolina on the Lake Norman issue and the lack of success.
The question of alternate sites is ripe for hearing by this Licensing Board after considerable protraction.
We will expect a representative of North Carolina to present its current position at the hearing commencing January 29, 1979.
We will invite oral argument from the parties at the commencement of the hearing on this question.
We have an obligation to proceed on the open questions in this appli-cation as expeditiously as possible for the NRC and we will
. not postpone the scheduled hearing in order for the Intervenors to attempt to again pursue the matter with the State of North Carolina.
The " Motion to Continue" is denied.
Following the customary practice of Licensing Boards, verbal limited appearance statements will be limited to five (5) minutes but written statements without limitation on length may be submitted.
FOR THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD SkJau M Eliyaceth S. Bowers, Chairman Dated at Bethesda, Maryland This 19th day of January 1979.
