Unit 1) )
)
LILCO'S APPLICATION FOR ISSUANCE OF SUBPOENAS Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) hereby requests the Presiding Officer of this Licensing Board to issue sub-poenas under 10 C.F.R.
- 2.720 to command the testimony by dep-osition of Robert C. Meunkle, Laura Palmer, and Frank R. Jones.
Counsel for Suffolk County has orally represented that the County will not voluntarily produce these three people for dep-osition. The depositions of these people are expected to pro-duce information of general relevance to the Phase I emergency planning issues in this proceeding, as follows:
Robert C. Meunkle and Laura Palmer
- 1. Mr. Meunkle and Ms. Palmer are presently employed by Suffolk County. For several years Mr. Meunkle and Ms.
8203110168 82O804 PDR ADOCK 05000322 G PDR
D Palmer worked with LILCO personnel to develop a County emergency response plan (see the attached Affidavit of Charles A. Daverio). (The County now refers to the fruits of their efforts as mere planning documents or at most a draft plan.) A number of features of the County planners' work affected LILCO's own plan.
- 2. For example, the communications system for notify-ing the County of an emergency, described in section 7.2 of LILCO's plan (Rev. 2), was developed during discussions with Mr. Meunkle and Ms. Palmer (see Contentions EP 13, 20). Also, LILCO's prompt notification system (both the sirens and the tone alerts) was designed based on Figure 3 in Appendix A of the County plan, which depicts the evacuation area by zones, showing 2-mile, 5-mile, and 10-mile zones (see Contentions EP 2).
- 3. Accordingly, LILCO proposes to depose Mr. Meunkle and Ms. Palmer on their planning efforts that affected the Phase I issues. The County previously expressed willingness to produce Mr. Meunkle and Ms. Palmer for discovery of informa-tion pertaining to the LILCO emergency plan (though there wae an unresolved dispute about whether and how the County might be protected if the questioning strayed outside the areas the County considered proper). Also, of the documents produced by the County in response to LILCO's first request for the l
1 production of emergency planning documents, before the Board's ruling on LILCO's motion to compel, several documents (numbers 309, 383, and 411) were letters to or from Mr. Meunkle. But since the Board's Prehearing Conference Order (Phase I -
Emergency Planning) of July 27, 1982, the County is no longer willing to produce Mr. Meunkle and Ms. Palmer.
- 4. The tentative schedule for depositions that has developed from discussions between LILCO and the County now has at least one deposition on each business day from August 9 through August 27. If Mr. Jones is deposed on August 5, then August 6 is the only business day left to depose Mr. Meunkle and Ms. Palmer. Accordingly, LILCO is asking that the sub-poenas command Mr. Meunkle's and Ms. Palmer's appearance on August 6. LILCO would be willing, however, to take their depo-sitions on a Saturday or Sunday or to rearrange the schedule in consultation with the County so that Meunkle and Palmer can be i
deposed at a more convenient time before the end of the deposi-tion period on August 27.
Frank R. Jones
! 5. Mr. Jones is Deputy County Executive of Suffolk County. He was initially proffered by the County as the County person to be deposed on LILCO plan issues. Moreover, LILCO understands that any LILCO employee who calls any County em-ployee about emergency planning is now referred automatically
to Mr. Jones. Since the Board's Prehearing Conference Order (Phase I - Emergency Planning) of July 27, 1982, however, the County has said it will not make Mr. Jones available for depo-sition. The County has named no one else in the County govern-ment (as opposed to outside consultants of the County) for dep-osition on LILCO plan issues.
- 6. Mr. Jones was offered during the April 14, 1982, prehearing conference (Tr. 770, 774-77) as being knowledgeable about the County's emergency planning.
- 7. LILCO proposes to depose Mr. Jones as to his knowl-edge of Phase I issues, particularly local conditions that may affect Phase I issues (see, for example, EP 5.A, which states in part that "LILCO has not assessed the relative benefits of various protective actions under the particular conditions ex-isting in the Shoreham vicinity"). Mr. Jones' testimony is particularly important since no other County officer or em-ployee has been offered on LILCO plan issues or Phase I issues.
- 8. LILCO understands that Mr. Jones has schedule con-flicts on August 5 and 6, 1982 and that he will be leaving on vacation from about August 6, 1982, until about the end of the month. Therefore it appears he must be deposed either at a mutually convenient time within the period the Board has set aside for depositions or, with the Board's permission, after he returns from vacation. Either alternative is acceptable to LILCO.
0 Conclusion
- 9. For the reasons stated above, the depositions of Frank Jones, Robert C. Meunkle, and Laura Palmer will produce information of " general relevance" to the issues in this pro-ceeding, including the issues involving LILCO's emergency plan and in particular, the issues designated as " Phase I." LILCO therefore asks the Board to issue subpoenas for Messrs. Jones and Meunkle and Ms. Palmer.1/

1/ LILCO recognizes that correct procedure might be first to give written notice of deposition under 10 C.F.R. 2 2.740a(a).
But given the shortness of time and the fact that the County has already stated to LILCO its unwillingness to make Messrs.
Jones and Meunkle and Ms. Palmer available for depositions, this application for subpoenas seems to be the appropriate way to compel their appearance.
