United Steelworkers of America Local 1010 seeks standing to intervene in proceedings on NIPSCO'S construction permit extension for Bailly Nuclear One as a matter of rightu.

NORTHERN INDIANA PUBLIC DOCKET No. 50-367 SERVICE COMPANY ) (Construction Permit (Bailly Generating Station, Extension)

Nuclear 1)

AFFIDAVIT OF JOE FRANTZ Joe Frantz declares and states.as:follows:

1. I reside at 535 Miami Place in the City of Gary, Indiana. My residence is located approximately 8 miles from the proposed site of the Bailly Generating Station, Nuclear.l.

2. I am secretary bf the Environmental Committee of the United Steelworkers of America, Local Union 1010, which is seeking to intervene in this construction permit extension proceeding.

3. Local 1010 represents approximately 19,000 Employees of the Indiana Harbor Works'of Inland Steel Campany, which is approximately. 15' miles from the proposed site of Bailly Nuclear One.

The general Membership of Local 1010 voted in 1976 to oppose , i construction of a nuclear generating station at the Bailly site.

The general Membership of Local 1010 voted 1979 to, authorize the Local Union to oppose the application of Northern Indiana Public Service Company for a construction permit extension for l t

i Etilly Nuclear 1, and to petition The Nuclear R~.egul'ator Commis- l sion f o r a hearing on the construction permit' extension in our behalf. -

4.I and many other members of Loc 51 1010 are users of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. The continued construc-tion o f Bailly Nuclear One will cause further site-dewatering which harms the, interests of our members as users of the park.

l

5. The continued construction of Bailly Nuclear One threatens the, health and jobs of members fo Local 1010. If Bailly Nuclear:One is built and operated, the possibility *of an accident threatens our health and j obs. This risk is aggravated by the lack of viable evacuation plans for the high-ly populated areas surrounding the site. If the ' plant is built and not operated, the utility rate increases necessary to finance both an idle generating station and emergency. sources of power will j eopardize our ability to purchase the power necessary to protect our health and our families'. It will also j eopardize our jobs because steelmills depend upon adequate supplies of

~

electricity at reasonable rates.

6. Unless NIPSCO can demonstrate the ability to proceed with construction of Bailly Nuclear One with'out harming the-Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, and unless NIPSCO can prove ability to protect the j obs and safety and health of our members in the event of a nuclear accident, the construction permit ex-tension should be denied. -

declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
