C-10 has approximately 5,000 members in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and maintains a principal office in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
On October 17, 1987, C-10 commenced a survey of individuals who arca near Seabrook own certain properties or businesses in the beach i-Station.
These properties or businesses are identified as potential public shelters in a study compiled for New Hampshire Yankee by Stone
& Webster Engineering Corporation, dated August, 1987.

Each of these STATEMENTS was signed by the property or business owner, or by the owner's authorized reeresentativg. Copies of all Statements are attached hereto and l
Approximately twenty-five C-10 volunteers participated in the survey.
Every potential shelter identi#ied in the Stone & Webster study was assigned to a volunteer.
Each volunteer was instructed to personally go to the shelters on his or her assigned list and to survey the owner or his representative on the premises.
Repeated attempts were made to contact owners not initially availabic.
A summary of our survey data is as follows:

All percentage figures are based on corrected number of pot'ential j
shelters (line 3) our observations obtained from the C-10 survey include the i
following:
1.
Stone & Webster or New Hampshire Yankee apparently did not seek permission, or even consult with, any property owners or businesspersons regarding the designation of their properties as potential shelters.
Clearly, property and business owners had not been informed by btone & Webster or New Hampshire Yankee that their premises had been identified as potential public shelters in the event of a radiological emergency at Seabrook Station.
2.
Eight of the 249 potential public shelters identified by l
l Ston'e & Webster do not exist, are listed twice, or are private dwe'llings.

l-3.
Of the remaining 241 properties, C-10 was able to contact 65%
(157) of these owners.
4.
Of the 157 contacted, 77% (121) stated that they would not make available their properties for use as shelters in the event of a radiological emergency at seabrook, requested their properties be removed from any list of potential shelters, and signed the prepared Statement.
5.
Of the 157 contacted, 6% (9) stated they would maAe their premises available for shelter.
6.
Many owners were visibly angered at having their properties listed as potential shelters, without their prior consultation or consent.
7.
Many owners did not believe their properties or businesses would provide any significant protection from radiation, and therefore would not attempt to fool the public by making this inadequate shelter available to the public during an emergency.
8.
A number of owners of commercial properties stated that their first concern would be for the safety of their families or guests, and questioned compromising that safety by admitting potentially contaminated members of the public into their premises during a radiological emergency.
9.
Many owners stated they would close and lock up their properties or businesses and flee the area with their families and employees, thereby precluding the public from access to these premises.

10.
Many owners stated that at least portions of their properties or businesses designated as potential public shelters were routinely kept locked, thereby precluding tne public from access to these premises.
Based upon our survey, discussions with property and business owners, and our personal observations of many potential shelters, it is our opinion that the substantial majority of potential public shelters identified by Stone and Webster in the New Hampshire portion of the EPZ would not be available for use by the public in the event of an actual emergency at Seabrook Station.
