Dear Board Members:

J This letter serves to notify you o e formal opposition of the Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council to the Petition for Leave to Intervene filed by Susan Garrett, et al., dated August 28, 1978.

We urge the Board to deny that petition.

BACKGROUND In response to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's formal notice of receipt of application for an Operating License for WPPSS Nuclear Project No. 2 the Council on August 18, 1978 filed the following statement:

The State of Washington requests that in the eve a hearing is held relative to the subject matter it be accorded status as an interested state and i

its representative, the undersigned, be recognized I

as the official representative of an interested i

state in accordance with 10 CFR 92.715(c).

On September 18, 1978 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ad-vised the Council of the receipt of a Petition for Leave to l

Intervene in the matter from Susan M. Garrett, Helen Vozenilek f ((/ [ D $ D O S 1

Elizabeth S. Bowers, Esq.

Dr. Richard F. Cole Mr. Erneqt E. Hill September 27, 1978 Page 2 and the Hanford Conversion" Project.

The Council has examined the above referenced petition and the subsequently issued NRC l

staff response to the petition.

At the Council's regular meeting of September 25, 1978 the Council took the following positions in response to the petition:

PRIOR STATE PROCEEDING'S I

The Council notes that a careful examination of the factors l

pertaining to the location, construction and operation'of

f3) the WPPSS Nuclear Project No. 2 was made by the State of s/

Washington during the course of State Licensing proceedings.

l These licensing proceedings were conducted as a contested j

case, with rights of intervention extended to affecte.d parties.

i The sworn hearing transcripts of the Council's contested case hearing contain a thorough examination into matters affecting the environment, health and safety of the citizens of the State of Washington and are available to the Board for in-spection.

On May 17, 1972 the State of Washington, in accor-4 dance with the provisions of Chapter 80.50 RCW, entered into j

a Site certification Agreement between the State and the l

Washington Public Power Supply System.

The certificate was

{

subsequently amended on September 25, 1975.

A copy of the j

Site Certification Agreement, as amended is attached for the Board's consideration and information.

LEGISLATIVE FORECLOSURE OF THE

-(j.

"NEED FOR POWER" QUESTION i

The Council notes that the petitioners allege that there is i

no need for additional power generating plants in the Pacific Northwest.

The Washington State Legislature has established the following state policy:

"It is the policy of the State j

of Washington to recognize the pressing need for increased energy facilities"...(RCW 80.50.010) and further "To provide abundant energy at reasonable cost." (RCW 80. 50. 010 ( 3) ).

Despite recent amendments to Chapter 80.50 RCW (the most

{

recent being in 1977) no cha-ges have been made in this legis-lative determination since i s enactment in 1970.

Thus, the 2

State of Washington has made a legislative determination that i

there is, indeed, a pressing need for power.
