APPLICANTS' RESPONSE TO CFSP'S FIRST SET OF PRODUCTION REQUESTS On September 10, 1982, the Coalition for Safe Power (CFSP) served " Coalition for Safe Power's Interrogatories to the Applicant-Set 1." Although CFSP's discovery requests are nominally labelled interrogatories, many request that Applicants " provide" certain categories of documents, reports, studies, data, assessments and calculations. These requests include " interrogatories" numbered 5, 6, 10, 30, 34, 35, 40, 45, 46, 56, 57, 58, 52, 63, 64, 65, 67, 68, 72, 73, 75, 76, 77, 80, 83, 84, 86, 92, 93 and 95. Applicants have interpreted these " interrogatories" as requests for production of documents pursuant to 10 CFR Section 2.741 and hereby submit the attached responses to these requests. The Applicants have previously filed responses and objections to the remaining discovery requests.1

Upon request by CFSP, the Applicants  ;

will make copies of any of the identified documents, or any pages  !

thereof, for CFSP at a cost of $.10 per page.

conclusions in the responses to Interrogatories 32 and 33 regarding potential effects of 4

construction and operation of S/HNP on the sand roller].

A. The conclusions in the responses to Interrogtories 32 and 33 were largely based upon the Applicants' analysis of potential effects upon fish in general. This analysis is presented in ASC/ER Sections 4.1.1.1, 4.1.2.2, 5.1.3.1, 5.1.3.2.4, 5.2.3, 5.3.1.2 and Appendix L and in the testiinony of Dr. Thomas L. Page presented i

in the hearings held on May 7, 1982, before the Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (Docket No. 81-1) with respect to applications for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System premit and a Section 401 certification for S/ENP.
