State of Missouri )

HAROLD MATTHEWS, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. I am Associate Judge of the Administrative Court serving the First District of Osage County in the State of Missouri. My business address is the Osage County Courthouse, Linn, Missouri. As a member of the Osage County Court, I am responsible for county road and bridge maintenance throughout the County, along with my colleagues on the Court. I am a life-long resident of Osage County. I have personal knowledge 9305250500 830520 PDR ADOCK 05000483 0 PDR

! of the matters stated herein and believe them to be true and correct. I make this affidavit in response to Reed Contention 19 (Impediments to the Use of Evacuation Routes).

2. Reed Contention 19 asserts that the four county radiological emergency response plan and procedures fail to provide methods of identification of means of dealing with potential impediments to use of evacuation routes, and contin-gency measures for resolving such problems. The four county plan has been revised. Separate plans now exist for each of the four counties in the emergency planning zone ("EPZ"). In my view, the revised Osage County Plan adequately addresses these issues, given the potential for evacuation impediments in the County.
3. Based on a review of all county roads locr.ted within the EPZ, I have concluded that there are no residences located within the EPZ that potentially could be isolated by localized flooding. This conclusion takes into account all areas where the roads could potentially be blocked in excess of four hours.
4. A second natural impediment which has been considered is that of an unusually heavy snowfall occurring coincidental with an emergency at.the nuclear plant requiring evacuation.

Within the Osage County portion of the EPZ, which is minimally in excess of five miles from the Callaway Plant, roads are the responsibility of either the State of Missouri, the County of Osage, or the Shawnee Creek Special Road District. In the event of a' heavy. snowfall, under most conditions the County

. ..Cf resources, which consist of 4 graders and 1 truck,- and readily available State resources located in the County, which consist of 2 graders and 4 trucks, can adequately clear the State and County roads within the EPZ in approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.

' Evacuation can begin as soon as major roads are cleared, with the final road being cleared in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. If our effort is concentrated to isolated areas where plowing is necessary in order for certain families to evacuate, the time required will be proportionally reduced.

5. Finally, identification of man-made impediments to traffic flow will be noted by, or reported to, traffic control personnel whc in turn will report such conditions to the Osage County EOC. Additional monitoring for impediments will be provided by State Civil Air Patrol. Removal of such impedi-ments will be completed by State or County Highway personnel or through normal equipment resources available to the Sheriff.
6. In conclusion, it is my view that the significant impediments have been identified, and the resources and planning effort necessary to overcome such impediments is available.
