{ JESSE T. PUGH, III, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

1. I am the Director of the Division of Emergency Man-agement ("DEM") of the North Carolina Department of Crime Con-trol and Public Safety. In my position, I am responsible for

the State's planning for and response to all emergencies, including accidents at any of the four nuclear plants that af-fact North Carolina. In that professional capacity, I have been involved in the development of the offsite emergency capa-bility for the Shearon Harris plant as well as the Catawba, McGuire and Brunswick nuclear plants. Through the Division of Emergency Management, I have directed the State's response to more than 650 cases in the last year alone, including the tor-nadoes in March and Hurricane Diana in September.

t statement of my professional qualifications and experience is attachedThereto. 1hr business address is 116 West Jones Street,

.. Y Raleigh, North Carolina 27611. I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein and believe them to be true and cor-rect. I make this affidavit in response to CHANGE Contenti6n 17.

2. The purpose of this affidavit is to explain the mea-sures being taken to assure that hearing-impaired members of the public receive timely notification in the event of an emer-gency at the Harris plant.

3. The Harris " Safety Information" brochure (for disbribution throughout the plume EPZ prior to fuel load, and annually thereafter) will include a special needs response card, to elicit information identifying hearing-impaired mem-bers of the public. (A copy of the special needs card is ap-pended hereto as " Attachment A"). Neither the brochure nor the special needs card will be distributed as a utility bill in-sert, so that they should not be accidentally overlooked.

Copies of the brochure (with the special needs card) will be supplied to area CP&L offices and electric membership coopera-tive offices for distribution to new customers. The brochure reminds people to return the completed cards, so that appropri-ate arrangements can be made in advance of an ' emergency. (See pages 2 and.8 of the brochure, appended hereto as " Attachment B"). The completed response cards will be analyzed by the State and the four county emergency management agencies. This

Er 1 O

information willis<erve as a basis for the counties' listings of hearing-impaired persons within the EPZ,l/ which will be up-dated to reflect each new special needs card as it is re-l ceived.2/

4. The lists compiled from the special needs response cards will be augmented with information identifying hearing-impaired persons provided by rescue squads, fire de-partments, social service agencies and health care providers in the four-county area.

In Wake County, the following organizations will be con-suited: -

1. Wake County Health Department

, 2. Wake County Department of Social Services

! 3. Wake County Council for the Aging

4. Wake County In-Home Care S. Wake County Adult Placement

6. Apex Rescue Squad i

1/ These lists will be held on a confidential ht. sis by the agencies identified below; they will not be avai_able to the public at large. Similar lists of sensory- and mobility-impaired persons have been prepared in emergency plan-ning at other nuclear plants that affect North Carolina (most recently, Catawba). To my knowledge, there has been no in-crease in crime attributable te the maintenance of such lists.

In any event, the local public health and safety agencies who would be charged with providing special assistance to special needs populations in a nuclear emergency generally already know the identities of many of the sensory- and mobility-impaired within their jurisdictions, since such knowledge is essential to their fulfillment of their routine, day-to-day responsibil-ities as, e.g., firemen or ambulance / rescue squad personnel.

i 2/ To facilitate the development of Standard Operating Proce-l dures, DEM will be making a separate mailing of the special needs card (without the brochure) to'all EPZ residents prior to the first distribution of the brochure. A copy of that card is appended hereto as " Attachment C." Thereafter, special needs cards will be distributed in conjunction with the brochure.

6. The fixed siren system will serve as the primary pub-lic alerting system in the event of an emergency at the Harris plant. However, in all four counties within the EPZ, vehicles will be immediately dispatched upon the activation of the fixed sirens, to provide special notification for hearing-impaired people by driving predesignated routes within the EPZ. As these personnel drive their assigned routes in an emergency, they will stop at the addresses on the list of hearing-impaired persons to provide those persons with special, individual noti-fication of the emergency.3/ Notification of hearing-impaired

persons will be carried out at the same time as, and in addi-  !

tion to, mobile alerting of the general public.

7. When the list of hearing-impaired persons has been completed, a thorough analysis will be carried out to assure that the entire EPZ will be covered by this hearing-impaired  !

persons notification system. Zones within the EPZ already have been subdivided into subzones within which the road mileage has been measured, and -- within each zone or subzone -- county agencies have been assigned responsibility for notification of the hearing-impaired. Each responsible agency will drive its routes to determine the amount of time needed for notification.

8. The number of vehicles required to carry out notifi-cation of the hearing-impaired has been estimated, based upon the assumption that the hearing-impaired population is distri-buted proportionally with the EPZ population. It has been (Continued) has been estimated. Data on hearing-impairment for the United States and North Carolina can be extrapolated to arrive at an estimate of persons within the EPZ whose hearing is seriously enough impaired to warrant special notification of an emergen-cy. These data indicate that a range of 0.2 to 0.4 percent of the population within the EPZ may be hearing-impaired seriously enough to warrant special notification. Applying this percent-age to the approximately 20,000 people who reside within the EPZ yields an estimated range of 40 to 80 seriously hearing-impaired persons. .

This number is a conservative estimate of the number of hearing-impaired persons who would actually need special noti-fication of an emergency, since a number of those with serious hearing impairments live with persons who do not have such im-pairments and would be able to hear the sirens. Nevertheless, special notification will be provided to all households which include someone with a serious hearing impairment.

~

J determined that there are more than enough vehicles and person-nel to perform the notification of hearing-impaired persons in a timely. manner, and that in no case would it take more than 45 minutes to accomplish this function.

9. Wake County is divided into seven " warning zones,"

denominated Zones A through G. No members of the public reside in Zone A, which includes only the Harris Plant exclusion area l and Harris Lake. Zone B consists of the New Hill community.

It is estimated that two vehicles would be required to notify hearing-impaired persons within Zone B. Personal vehicles of personnel from the Apex Rescue Squad and the Apex Fire Depart-ment would be used. I am confident that sufficient numbers of trained personnel and vehicles will be available in an emergen-cy to accomplish this function.

10. Zone C consists of the Holleman's Crossroads area.

Should any hearing-impaired people be located within Zone C, personnel from the Holly Springs Fire De,artment would use their personal vehicles to notify them. It is currently esti-mated that not more than one such vehicle will be necessary for this function. I am confident that sufficient number- of trained personnel and vehicles will be available in an emergen-cy to accomplish this function.

11. Zone D consists of the Burt communit'y. It is esti-mated that one vehicle will be required to perform notification of hearing-impaired people in Zone D. The personal vehicle of I

12. Zone E includes Apex and the surrounding area. It is estimated that six vehicles would be required to perform noti-fication of hearing-impaired people in Zone E. The personal ,

vehicles of personnel from the following agencies would be used for this purpose:

1. Apex Volunteer Fire Department

2. YRAC Volunteer Fire Department

3. Morrisville Volunteer Fire Department

4. Fairview Volunteer Fire Department I am confident that sufficient numbers of trained personnel and venicles will be available in an emergency to accomplish this function.

13. Zone F includes Holly Springs and the surrounding area. It is estimated that two vehicles would be required to perform notification of hearing-impaired people within Zone F.

These would be the personal vehicles of members of the Holly

, Springs Volunteer Fire Department and the Fairview Volunteer Fire Department. I am confident that sufficient numbers of trained personnel and vehicles will be available in an emergen-cy to accomplish these functions.

14. Zone G consists of Fuquay-Varina and the surrounding area. It is estimated that four vehicles would be required to perform notification of hearing-impaired people within Zone G.

These would be the personal vehicles of personnel from the i

15. Zone H is the part of the plume EPZ within Harnett I

County. It is estimated that three vehicles would be required I to perform notification of hearing-impaired people within Zone H. Ambulances and/or rescue vehicles from the following agencies would be available to perform this. function:

1. Angier Rescue Squad

2. Coats Rescue Squad

3. Erwin Rescue Squad

4. Boone Trail Rescue Squad

5. Harnett County Ambulance Service I am confident that sufficient numbers of trained personnel and vehicles will be available in an emergency to accomplish this function.

16. Warning Zones I and J are in Lee County. It is esti-mated that two vehicles would be required to perform notifica-tion of hearing-impaired people within Zones I and J. The per-sonal vehicles of personnel from the Cape Fear and Deep River Volunteer Fire Departments would be used to perform this func-tion. I am confident that sufficient numbers of trained per-sonnel and vehicles will be available in an emergency to accom-plish thin function.

17. Zones K, L, M and N are Chatham County. Zone K is located southeast of Moncure, and includes the locality of Corinth. It is estimated that one vehicle would be required to perform notification of hearing-impaired persons within Zone K.

The personal vehicle of a member of the Moncure Volunteer Fire Department would be used for this purpose. I am confident that sufficient numbers of trained personnel and vehicles will be available in an emergency to accomplish this function.

18. Zone L includes the area between highways US 1 and US 64, between Jordan Lake and the Wake County line. It is esti-i mated that one vehicle would be required to perform notifica-tion of hearing-impaired people within Zone,L. The personal vehicle of a member of the North Chatham Volunteer Fire Depart-ment would be used for this purpose. I am confident that suf-ficient numbers of trained personnel and vehicles will be j available in an emergency to accomplish this function.

19. Zone M includes the area northwest of Moncure, and i west of Jordan Lake. It is estimated that two vehicles weuld be required to notify hearing-impaired people within Zone M.

. These would be the personal vehicles of personnel from the North Chatham and Pittsboro Volunteer Fire Departments. I am 1

confident that sufficient numbers of trained personnel and ve-hicles will be avail cle in an emergency to accomplish this function.

20. Zone N consists of the Bell's School community. It is estimated that one vehicle would be required to perform no-tification of hearing-impaired people within done N. This would be the personal vehicle of a member of the North Chatham Volunteer Fire Department. I am confident that sufficient num-bers of trained personnel and vehicles will be available in an emergency to accomplish this function.

21. In addition to the predesignated personnel assigned to perform notification of hearing-impaired people, each of the four counties has identified additional personnel (with vehi-cles) who would be available to augment the designated notifi-cation personnel, if necessary. The designated units in Wake County could be augmented by other rescue squads and fire de-partments from outside the EPZ. l In Harnett County, the desig- l nated units would be augmented by municipal police departments, the Sheriff's Department, and volunteer fire and rescue people from outside the EPZ if needed. The designated units in Lee County would be augmented by resources from the Sanford Police Department and the Lee County Sheriff's Department outside the EPZ. In Chatham County, the designated units would be aug-mented by resources from volunteer fire and rescue services outside the EPZ.

22. If public officials determine that only a portion of the EPZ needs to be alerted, the time required for notifying hearing-impaired people could be reduced by concentrating the identified notification resources in smaller operational areas.

23. In addition, EBS television broadcasts would include

" crawl messages" (lines of text at the bottom of the TV screen) i to provide emergency warnings and information to the hearing-impaired members of the general public. '

24. In summary, lists of the hearing-impaired persons within the Harris EPZ are being compiled prior to' fuel load, I

using information from the special needs response cards and

ceived. Using these lists, predesignated personnel would pro- i vide special, individual notification of an amorgency at the Harris plant to each of the hearing-tmpaired individuals in the EFZ within 45 minutes, as prescribed by NUREC-0654, Appendix 3.

EB8 television broadcmets would include " crawl messages" to
