AFFIDAVIT OF RICHARD H. STROME (SAPL-8 and 8A)

I, Richard H. Strome, being on oath, hereby depose and say as follows:

1. I am the Director of the New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency.
2. Appendix G of Volume 2 of the New Hampshire RERP provides the concept of operations for providing State assistance to municipalities unable to respond to an emergency. As stated in 2 1, p. G-1 of Appendix G,_ Volume 2 of the New Hampshire RERP, the State will, if necessary, "become the primary agency dealing with the populations of the involved municipality or municipalities." Therefore, gaoi% die 8'ShP .

~8 the requirements of the NUREG-0654 elements cited in the contention, II.A.1.e, II.A.4 and II.F.1.a for municipalities so affected, can be provided by the State. The manpower, equipment and facilities and the concept for their-use are described in the NHRERP.

3. The RAC evaluation of the State of New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan (rev. 2 - 8/86) found the NHRERP adequate for the NUREG-0654 elements II.A.l.e, II.A.4 and II.F.la. Additionally, the RAC evaluation of the same NUREG-0654 elements'in regards to State compensating actions for municipalities found the NHRERP adequate for NUREG-0654 elements II.A.l.e and II.F.1.a. The evaluation of NUREG-0654 element II.A.4 was left open pending the outcome of a resource allocation study.
4. As conditions change, any pertinent information will be incorporated into the program, and the State will adjust the pre-planned resources as required to implement an emergency response.
5. The duties performed by school superintendents and personnel at special facilities to implement the New Hampshire RERP are consistent with the duties they would perform for any emergency. The historical record for response to emergencies clearly shows that individuals with persons under their care fully implement any duties required to provide for the safety of their charges.

6. .For each special facility in the PEP EPZ, a method and point of contact is established within the New Hampshire-RERP.
7. In NHRERP Volume 4, Appendix I, the totals of 574 buses and 510 drivers are accurate and consistent with the numbers committed to in the letters of agreement. Only a total of 515 buses and dirvers are actually needed. NHRERP Vol. 2, App. I, p. I-3. A letter of agreement has been executed with Local 633 of the Teamsters whereby they agree to supply up to 1,500 drivers. Letters of agreement with owners are being obtained permitting the mobilization of these drivers by the union.
8. Based on current conservative estimates, a maximum of 515 bus drivers would be required to support the response-effort.
9. Volume 5 of the New Hampshire RERP contains letters of agreement with bus and ambulance companies, Teamsters Local No. 633 of New Hamshire, and the New Hampshire School Transportation Association.
10. The Rockingham County Sheriff's Department has identified a minimum of 15 deputies to assist with the establishment of the State Transportation Staging Areas.

Five of these personnel are designated as administrative staff for the-two staging Areas, while the remaining 10 deputies will be assigned as needed to establish local' transportation staging areas.

11. There are 20 individuals identified as IFO Local Liaisons listed in Appendix C, Volume 4 of the NHRERP. All are NHCDA permanent or auxiliary personnel within the agency's supervision and emergency notification process.

Twelve telephone lines dedicated for their use have been installed at the IFO in Newington. The tasks associated with contacting each town's special facilities, as assigned by the IFO Controller, will be div'.ded among the available personnel on a priority basis to insure the swiftest and most efficient notifications.

12. The New Hampshire RERP allows for notification and mobilization of support personnel and equipment in a " fast developing accident." The EBS system and tone alert radios would provided alert and notification to special facilities within the PEP EPZ in the event local liaisons are in transit to the IFO. Protective action recommendations would also be broadcast by the EBS system. In the event of an immediate evacuation recommendation, the State EOC will j

dispatch required transportion resources based on estimated needs contained in the New Hampshire RERP. Therefore, the arrival of local liaisons at the IFO (which the state estimates to be approximately 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />) does not significantly impair the response effort.

13. The manning of 72 traffic control points is a joint responsibility of local and State law enforcement agencies which will require approximately 48 New Hampshire State I
