He said that this p4Wd pm6 ram included a consideration of aircraft surveillance measurements of the efflmnt pitanes frorn the plant but pmposed that such measumments # '

would not be carried out. He further said that he was calling me about this pmposed pmgrm since the proposal indicated AEC participation, but V he had had no word frcn AEC about this.

3 I infomed Mr. Larkin that we '.aiew of EPA's pmposed pavgum or study at '

Manticello; that we had been in discussicns with EPA about this program; that.

we had raised questicus about the necessity of considerable portions of the ,

l initial proposal which appeamd to duplicate much of the licensingarx1 AEC l

nmitoring pmgrams almady carried out in the license; that EPA wea in the l-process of revising their study to minin:ize duplication and to confine thbirj ,' t neanumrent pmuas for the nost part to offsite envirarsnental areas; that, since we had not received EPA's revised proposal, we did not know what it - L contained and we did not know whether we would be in-full ccncurmnoe or not-but would continue to work with EPA until-sorte satisfactory working mlation-ships wem developed--not cnly for the )tuticello situaticn but for EPA's t proposed txnitority program in general.
