Discussion

'Ihe representatives of the State of Minnesota inade the of fer to combine the three separate necessary actions each having a public hearing poten-tial into one consolidated hearing. This offer was contingent upon accelerating the issuance date for the Draf t Environmental Statement.

Mr. Dzuyan said that discussions with MECCA representatives indicate that MECCA would also be agreent>1e to out.h a consolidation of hearings.

It is expected that the single hearing would cover all the areas that each hearint would would have covered, and hopefully duplication and repetition be eliminated.

We pointed out that due to staffing probicas, acceleration of the environ-nental review of Monticello will be at the expenne of another project.

We also explained that a letter frcm the State, with an explanation of the areas of concern may belp un prepare a better and more complete Environmental 5tatteent. Eut most inport.n n t , the need for a complete and comprehensive review as required by the Calvert Cliffe decision is not compatible with tbc requented date of !! arch or April. According to Gene Blanc, haned on part experience, which admittedly is very limited, the earliest date a braft Envfronmental Statement can be prepared is the first week of May. This date was acceptable to the State of Minnesota.

It was agreed that Mr. Dzuran vould contact MECCA, and J. Knotts vill contact the licensee to prepare a joint agreement for a single hearing coverinr all three iterr..
