Fr: Campaign for a Prosperous Georgia BRhfC"b" Re: Docket Nos. 50-424 & 50-425, Request for Hearing in Atlanta

. In its response to Campaign for a Prosperous Georgia's petition for leave to intervene, Georgia Power Company requests that hearings in the above-captioned matter be held in Waynesboro or Augusta rather than Atlanta as petitioner requested.

By very similar letters dated February 10, George DeLoach and Ray Delaigle also requested that the hearings be held in Waynesboro or Au (Neither DeLoach nor DeLaigle is or represents a party to this proceeding.) gusta.

Campaign for a Prosperous Georgia (CPG) represents the interests of its members, including those living in the area surrounding the plant. CPG's resources are centered in Atlanta, as is CPG's counsel (the Legal Environmental Assistance Foundation); the interests of CPG's members can best be represented if the hearings are held in Atlanta. Georgians Against Nuclear Energy, on behalf of itself and Coastal Citizens for a Clean Environment has filed the only other active petition for leave to intervene and the only other request for hearing, and they similarly request that the hearing be held in Atlanta on the grounds that they can best represent their members who live in the area surrounding the plant if the hearings are held in Atlanta.

Hearings on the contentions raised by the only intervenors in this proceeding would not be held were it not for the requests for such hearings from said intervenors; requests by the applicant and its supporters that hearings be held in Waynesboro are presented solely to cause difficulty to the intervenors, whose resources are more limited than the applicant's.

If the applicant and Mssrs. DeLoach and DeLaigle were truly concerned that public hearings be held in Waynesboro or Augusta, why did they not request such hearings in

.the first place? Clearly, the only intent in these requests is to place a stumbling block in,the way of the interventions.

The ASLB's concern is to determine the safety of the. facility and the validity of the contentions raised by the intervenors. It is quite obvious that this can best be done by holding the hearings in Atlanta, where the offices and resources of the only representatives of area citizens concerned about the proposed operating license are located.

Petitioner Campaign for a Prosperous Georgia repeats its request that hearin'gs on the contentions raised by petitioners be held in Atlanta.
