.The environmental issues posed by the subject pro-ceeding involve variot.s scientific and technical subjects, including geography, hydrology, climatology, meteorology, ecology, land use, utility ecanomics, aes thetics, and transportation.
To judge these environmental issues requires tech-nical competency in such disciplines as biology, ecology, botany, zoology, meteorology and other environmental, life and social sciences, not to mention the fields of mathematics and computer system analysis.
" utilize a systematic, interdisciplinary approach which will insure the integrated use of the natural and social sciences and the environmental design arts in planning and in decision making which may have an impact on man's environment;" (Sec. 102(A)

If the technical members of the Board do not have the technical qualifications necessary to environmental decision making, intervonors intend to apply to the Com-mission for appropriate relief, including, but not limited to, enlargement of the Board to include technical members qualified to hear and determine the environmental issues.
