PEAD OF BEHALF OF SUFFOLF COUPTY PEGAPPING EMEPGEFCY PLAFNING CONTEFTIONS 24.T AND 59 -- NOTIFICATION TO THE PUBLIC BY THE U.S.

COAST GUARP Q.

Please state your names, occupations and professional backgrounds.

A.

My name is Richard C.

Roberts.

I am a Deputy Chief Inspector assigned to the Office of the Chief of District, County of Suffolk Police Department.

My name is Donald A.

Hoffman.

I am a Sergeant assigned to the Marine Bureau, County of Suffolk Police Department.

My name is James J. Read.

I am a Police Officer assigned to the Marine Bureau, County of Suffolk Police Department.

A statement of Sergeant Hoffman's and Officer Read's qual-ifications is Attachment 1 to this testimony.

Chief Roberts' e403060301 e40302 POR ADOCK 05000322 T

PDR

qualifications were attached to his testimony on Contention 65.

A description of the general organization and structure of the Suffolk County Police Department ("SCPD") is included in the Suffolk County testimony regarding Contention 26 -- Notifica-tion of Emergency Response Personnel.

C.

Contention 59 alleges that the U.S. Coast Guard, on which LILCO relies for notification of the public on the waters within the EPZ, does not have the capability of providing such notification within 15 minutes as required by NUREG 0654.

Con-tention 24.T alleges that LILCO has no agreement with the Coast Guard to alert people on beaches or at marinas in and around the EPZ.

Do you agree with those contentions?

A.

Yes.

With respect to Contention 59 we note that the letter from the U.S. Coast Guard found in LILCO's Plan at App-B-8 makes no commitment to notify the public on the waters within the EPZ in 15 minutes as required by NUEEG 0654.

Based on conversations with U.S. Coast Guard repreL4ntacives in New Haven, Connecticut, it is our understanding that, upon notifi-cation of a radiological emergency at Shoreham, the Coast Guard would attempt to respond within 15 minutes of receiving notifi-cation from LILCO by dispatching one boat from New Haven and one boat from'Eaton's Neck, Long Island.

(See Plan, Appendix B, at APP-B-8).

Eaton's Neck is one of the Coast Guard. _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _

stations on Long Island.

It lies 17 miles to the west of Port

- Jef ferson 'and, acco; ding to information provided by the Coast Guard, the boat dispatched from Eaton's Neck would be responsi-ble for patrolling the west quadrant of the EPZ.

New Haven is across the Long Island Sound.

The New Haven boat, according to the Coast Guard, would be responsible for patrolling the east quadrant of the EPZ.

Based upon estimates provided by the U.S.

Coast Guard, it would take approximately 45 minutes from the time of notification for the New Haven boat to reach the waters of the Long Island Sound at the east end of LILCO's 10-mile EPZ.

While time estimates for the Eaton's Neck boat have not been provided to us, it is unlikely that it could reach the

. west quadrant of the EPZ any sooner than the New Haven boat since both boats are located about the same distance from the EPZ.

Thus, based on information provided to us by the Coast Guard, it is clear that the Coast Guard does not have the capa-bility of notifying the public on the waters within the 10-mile CPZ within 15 minutes.

In fact, it will take the Coast Guard approximately 45 minutes from the time of notification to reach the EPZ.

Upon reaching the EPZ, additional time will be required to notify any boats in the EPZ to leave..

O.

How will the Coast Guard actually notify boats to leave?

A.

The Coast Guard vessels will attempt to notify boaters by broadcasting warnings using marine radio frequencies.

(See Plan, Appendix B, at APP-B-8).

It should not be assumed, how-ever, that such radio broadcasts would provide notification to all the persons on the watere within the 10-mile EPZ.

For ex-ample, many of the pleasure craft found in the waters of the EPZ on a typical summer day, particularly the smaller boats, do not have radios.

Therefore, Coast Guard boats would be required actually to pull alongside those boats or use loud-speakers to. inform them of any emergency situation.

Likewise, swinitters and persons on the beaches would not hear Coast Guard radio broadcasts.

Based on estimates provided by the Coast Guard, it would take at least 90 minutes from the time of noti-fication, assuming an uninterrupted trip, and good weather for the New Haven vessel actually to patrol the east quadrant of the EPZ.

The need to pull alongside or use loudspeakers to

, warn the many vessels which would be unable to hear radio broadcast warnings is likely to increase that estimate.

O.

Have you calculated the numbers of boats and bathers which could be expected to be in the EP" and need notification if there were a radiological emergency at Shoreham? ___

l A.

Yes.

That study and an accompanying map are appended to this testimony as Attachment 2.

The study shows that during the daytime hours on a typical summer weekend one could expect 850 boats to be in the EPZ.

With an average load of four peo-ple per boat, this means that the total number of people on the waters in the EPZ on a summer weekend would be approximately 3400 persons.- Tha beach population in the EPZ on a typical

. summer weekend is likely to be approximately 2175 additional y

persons.

(See Attachment 2).

Q.

Does LILCO have an agreement with the Coast Guarc to notify allithe people on the waters within the EPZ who would require notification?

A.

No.

While the Coast Guard has agreed to attempt to notify boaters within the EPZ of an emergency at Shoreham, the Coast Guard has informed us that it will not patrol beach areas or marinas-(such as Port Jefferson or Mount Sinai Harbor) to notify people in those locations, although if, during their patrol, they were able to see people on beaches, they would use loud speakers to attempt to inform them to evacuate.

The Coast Guard further indicated that if people or beaches did not evac-uate the Coast Guard would attempt to notify LILCO of that fact.

It is unlikely that all persons in boats in marinas or on beaches would hear LILCO's sirens.

LILCO, however, has no.

procedures for notifying people on beaches or at marinas.

This means that some of the estimated 2,175 people on the beaches during the day, and any people on the 500 boats anchored at marinas within the El aay not be notified of a radiological emergency at Shoreham.

Q.

Please summatize your conclusions.

A.

LILCO's Plan relies on the Coast Guard to notify

-boaters within the EPZ of a radiological emergency at Shoreham.

However, given the substantial distance of the Coast Guard boats from the EPZ and the lack of marine radios on many boats, and the resulting need to pull alongside those boats to inform them of an emergency, the proposed notification by the Coast Guard would take well over 90 minutes -- far more time than the 15 minutes' required by NUREG 0654.

In addition, the Coast Guard has not agreed to notify bathers or persons on boats docked at marinas in the EPZ, and the LILCO Plan has no other proposal for providing notification to them.

Accordingly, there is no assurance that the thousands of individuals likely to be on the waters or the beaches within the EPZ would receive timely notification of a radiological emergency at shoreham..
