AFFIDAVIT OF WALTER McMONIES

1. My name is Walter McMonies. I live at 2321 S.W. Sherwood Drive, Portland, Oregon 97201.

2. I buy my electric power from Portland General Electric, one of the co-sponsors of the Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Project.

Construction of those plants may increase my electrical power rates over and above what they would be if more economical means of meeting the electrical needs of Portland General Electric customers were adopted. In addition, use of funds to build the Skagit/

Hanford Project will divert monies away from environmentally and economically preferable means of meeting the needs of Portland General Electric customers.

3. I often sail on the Columbia River. I also often fish for salmon, both on the Columbia River and off the coasts of Washington and Oregon. Construction of-the Skagit/Hanford Nuclear.

Power Plant would encourage " greater usage of hydro resources (on the Columbia River] for peaking with thermal resources, such as the proposed Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Project operating as baseload units . . . . Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Project Application for Site Certificacion/ Environmental Report at 1.0-3. Utilization of i

< s . ,4.

the Columbia River to provide peaking capacity for the Pacific North-west region would adversely affect the Columbia River fisheries resources,and, in particular, the salmon and steelhead resources which I use and enjoy. Thus, construction and operation of the Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Power Project would adversely affect my recreational interests.

4. I am a member of the Oregon Environmental Council (OEC). I authorize OEC to represent my interests in construction permit and licensing hearings concer ing the Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Project before'the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and in related proceedings. j

5. In particular, I support OEC's position that there are environmentally and economically preferable alternatives to construc-tion of the Skagit/Hanford Project to meet the electrical energy needs of the Pacific Northwest. I also agree that the full environ-mental costs of the Skagit/Hanford Project should be fully assessed prior to deciding whether or not the project should be licensed and built. These costs include the impacts of the Skagit/Hanford Project operations on the fisheries resources of the Columbia River.

AFFIDAVIT OF DOYLE HUNT .

1. My name is Doyle Hunt. I live at 1083 West Highland Avenue, Hermiston, Oregon 97838, which is approximately 45 air miles from the proposed Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Project.

2. I have lived at my current address for seven years. I have lived in the Hermiston area for approximately forty years.

3. My residence is within the geographic area that might be affected by an accidental release of fission products from the proposed Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Project. As a result, I have health and safety interests that would be adversely affected by construction of the Skagit/Hanford Project.

4. I buy my electrical power from Pacific Power and Light, one of the co-sponsors of the Skagit/Hanford Nuclear Project.

Construction of those plants may increase my electrical power rates over and above what they would be if more economical means of meeting the electrical needs of Pacific Power and Light customers were adopted. In addition, use of funds to build the Skagit/Hanford Project will divert funds away from environmentally
