Docket _Nois. 50-329-50-330

Dear Mr. Chairm.in:
The proposc<1 order submitted by Dow is in general principic acceptahic to un.
The time to reply to the draf t statement should be extended to 15 dayn af t.ee receipt of the lant comment by federal and state agcacios inanmuch as Applicant is given time to respond to those comments.
Any attemtit to specify when the Staff must produce the draft or final statement is at odds with the Staff's primary obligation which is to develop all of the relevant facts.
We do not doubt the Staf f's detcrnination to expedite its investigation consistent with its statutory and administrative obligations.
Setting deadlines only interferes with those duties and unnecessarily questions the Staffs dedication.
Applicants suggestion that specification of contentions should procedo presentation of all the facts is inconsistent with the purpose of this proceeding which is first to develop all of the facts.
Ideally and properly tha t development should come from the Sta f f.
Once all facts are develope:i the p trties can finally THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS POOR QUALITY PAGES 8007160 N f,

s pg. 2 state their contentions and the Board can finally stato its co..tentions.
To the extent the Point Beach ruling is in confli'ct sith those principles we respectfully submit that it is in crror and we urge this Board to avoid similar error.
We of course, will continue to voluntarily advise the lloar 1 of our contr'ntionn, without prejudico t.o ::ubne<1ui'nt. :ulami nn ion::, in an attempt to expedite this proceeding as much an possible.
Sincerely,
