Attached hereto is a copy of Applicant's Reply to Saginav Intervenors February 6, 1972 Environmental Contentions. In replying l
to these contentions Applicant has attempted to provide additional l
infomation in those few areas that were not in fact covered in the l
prior environmental filings and to reference previous filings that answer the many contentions that ignored such filings. Applicant has found these contentions in many cases to relate to matters which are not properly issues in this proceeding, in a number of cases to l
be frivolous, almost uniformly to fail to set forth any facts in sup-l port of broad conclusionary statements, in many cases to be clearly contrary to and to ignore facts already on the record, generally lacking in the specificity required by AEC regulations and in a number of instances to misrepresent Applicant's statements in pre-vious filings. Applicant is particularly shocked by Saginav Inter-venors' repeated intimation of misfensance and falsification directed l
at the Michigan Water Resources Commission and the Dow Chemical Company.
[
The bulk of Saginaw Intervenors' contentions being mere conjecture,
)
unsupported by any facts or scientific bases are an unvorthy reply to i
