G-6 (a) Town of Hampton Falls obj ects to this question as irrelevant to the issue of whether a plan furnished on behalf of Town of Hampton Falls can be adequate. Without waiving this objection, the answer is not to Town of Hampton Falls knowledge, except that the Selectmen did request day care center operators and a campground operator not to respond to a cer tain sur vey submi t ted by NHCDA, pending complet ion of Town of Hampton Falls own survey, and decision on how to proceed therefrom.

0 1 TOWN OF HAMPTON FALLS SPECIAL INTERROGATORIES I-1 Yes.

I-2 Town of Hampton Falls is not willing to assume that local of ficials designated in the State Plan submitted on behalf of Town of Hampton Falls are willing to perform the duties assigned to them, because Town of Hampton Falls has a town vote, which the selectmen intend to follow, that no plan will be implemented until approved by voters acting through town meeting. There is, at this t ime, no " local plan" f or Town of Hampton Falls.

I-3 The plan is not workable because there is no plan recognized by Town of Hampton Falls, and all town employees are therefore barred from implementing the plan. See also answer to question I-16.

I-4 Town of Hampton Falls uses " workable" to mean measures that can assure adequate protection for the citizens of the town.

I-5 See G-5 above.

I-6 Not to our knowledge.

I-7 Town of Hampton Falls does not have a fire department, but

only a volunteer fire department. Therefore, Town of Hampton Falls is nct in a position to order performance of of ficial duties on the part of any member of the volunteer fire department.

I-8 Town of Hampton Falls is not aware of any such instance.

I-9 Town of Hampton Falls does not contend that any teacher or classroom monitor "would" abandon children, but does believe there is a role conflict potential, which raises the possibility that teachers may not be available.

I-10 No.

I-Il N/A.

I-12 Town of Hampton Falls is seeking information to answer Interrogatory I-12, and will supplement this response.

I-13 Yes. The number of contacts, and the dates of meetings, l the subjects discussed at these meet ings, and whether any i changes were made to the plan as a result of the discussions, '

are not information available to Town of Hampton Falls, ;

but may be available through NHCDA. !

I l

l

~

. o 1-14 NHCDA has not indicated any willingness to allow Town of Hampton Falls to have the right to decide whether a plan for Town of Hampton Falls is adequate for Town of Hampton Falls.

I-15 No.

T-16 Town of Hampton Falls believes 85 additional emergency people would be necessary. This would include RADEF additional fire and police personnel, and drivers, based upon the 1980 population.

1-17 Again, Town of Hampton Falls does not say the suggested officials "would," in the event 04' an actual emergency at Seabrook Station, refuse to cooperate and assist in dealing with the emergency. The fire department is not made up of town of ficials. A further answer to this question willl depend, in part, on the results of the survey mentioned in response to question G-4.

I-18 No, although Town of Hampton Falls believes its selectmen and other town officials have expertise concerning the scope of their duties, and their ability to adequately meet requirements that may be placed upon them.

II-1 Yes.

II-2 Since the Hampton Falls volunteer fire department is not an official body in the town, Town of Hampton Falls is without knowledge as to this question.

) II-3 We believe so.

1 II-4 No need for a RADEF Of ficer has existed in the Town's 350 year history.

(

II-5 Yes.

II-6 Town of Hampton Falls has not needed a transportat ion coordinator for its 350 year history.

i II-7 Yes. Yes, II-8 We assume so, although we don't know.

II-9 Yes. Within the limitations of the s tate's resources, and having in mind that there may be many other communities seeking assistance.

I1-10 The RADEF fireman and chief, policeman and chief, Board of Selectmen, Civil Defense Director, Transportation Coordinator. The functions these persons would perform, as suggested in the state's proported plan for Town of 1 Hampton Falls , include alerting functions, traf fic control l

_4_

and coordinat ion, evacuat ion confirmat ion. Town of Hampton Falls objects to this Interrogatory insof ar as it requests it provide an accident scenario.
