Application of Philadelphia Electric Company 50-352

Dear Ms. Hodgen:

On May 21, I received a copy of the Commission's release - of May 9, 1984 reflecting a briefing given to -the-Commission.on April 24, 1984, by the staff.

This briefing is_a completely inconsistent with both the facts and your letter to me dated April 25, 1984.

First, the staff briefing completely mischaracter-i cs the Point Pleasant Diversion ' situation.

It is not-being stopped by court order; on the contrary, the applicant is seeking a court order to override the decision of local

(~

government, on which the project is dependent, which local government has determined that. the project should not

. proceed.

The staff briefing is completely inaccurate, in also, failing to mention that the PECo fails to have li-censes ~ from the Pennsylvania PUC for the construction of

Bradshaw Reservior and the associated conveyances of water, and cannot operate without these.

This hardly falls into j

the ' category of court u ordered work stoppage, and the net result is to drastically understate the problem of the project to the Commission.

.Second, the staff briefing completely. fails to

-disclose the fact.that the staff has failed-to consider the poten'tial delay, in order to find all possible options (as suggested at pg. 3 of the transcript would be appropriate).

~

Third, the mere identification of the ' - Point

'l Pleasant-- Diversion "as - a major issue", in context, clearly indicates that,the staff regards it as real concern.

This, y

Ann Hodgdon, Esquire 2

May 23, 1984 also, is completely inconsistent with the staff's actions to refuse to re.cunsider it.

In light of this, I request that the staff revise its previous actions, and pequest the applicant to submit contingency-plans to provide water to Point Pleasant, and to schedule a meeting in which to discuss steps to be taken to expedite the licensing process, assuming another alternative rather than Point Pleasant.

I also request that the staff fully and promptly inform the Commission of the correct state of affairs.

Sincerely,

$I-Robert J.
