N NORTHERN INDIANA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY'S RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO PORTER COUNTY CHAPTER INTERVENORS' PLEADING DATED MARCH 23, 1982 On March 23, 1982, Porter County Chapter Intervenors (PCCI) filed a document entitled " Porter County Chapter Inter-venors' Supplement to Position Regarding Timing of Termination of Proceedings and PCCI's Motion for Leave to Take Limited Discovery." In this document, PCCI complains that Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) has declined to furnish a " status report" concerning implementation of the revised plan for Bailly site restoration. PCCI therefore requests the Board

" enter an order pursuant to S2. 740b(b) directing NIPSCO to enswer . . . PCCI.'s First Interrogatory to NIPSCO Concerning Site Restoration . . . ." That "First Interrogatory"~ requests NIPSCO to " describe in detail each activity NIPSCO has taken with respect to implementation of- 01e"~ revised plan.

_ It'is apparent that-PCCI. seeks to' exercise'the responsi- -

bility of the NRC Staff for monitoring compliance with Licensing Board orders through the ruse of " discovery." No legal authority y

venors. Nor is a factual justification for the request provided.

Simply stated, intervenors are not entitled to any reports on accomplishment of the various preparatr y steps, such as preparation of specifications and consultations with the Corps of Engineers concerning dredging, which can be accomplished during the winter months. No matter remains to be decided in this proceeding which requires additional " discovery."

We respectfully request that the Board deny PCCI's request of March 23 and grant NIPSCO's Motion for Reconsideration and issue the proposed memorandum and order attached thereto.
