BO^EGA BAY Ss-zoS 1
On Friday',. June 14, 1963 I called Mr. Whelchel of PG6E t
conceming the scheduling of the PG6E Bodega Bay hearinge I told him that I understood that PG6E canted to proceed with the hearing as soon a3 possible, but in view of t'e' fact that we had been informed that day that the geological surwy report would not be available for 2-3 weeks, we wou1Cnot be able to deal with the earthquake prdlem at a hearing to be scheduled in mid to late July,. 'I. told him that it was too late to publish the 30-day notic'e for a hearing on July 16, which had been scheduled when we expected the geological suwey report by the n:f ddle of June,, and that the earliest we could publish for a hearing would be the week of June 22.
I told him that if PGSE wanted the hearing scheduled as soon as possible, we could do this but because of the delay in the geological report that we would not be able to address ourselves to the I
earthquake problem until we had received and reviewed the geological report. If the hearing was scheduled the week of July 22, I told him that we would have to reserve on the earthquake question and would have to postpone the completion of the hearing until a later date.
I also told him that he ought to recognize the possibility that the geological survey report to be received in 2-3 weeks might not be a final repcet and might speak of the need for further investigation.
lie told me that he would discuss this with his people and get in toxh with me later. lie wanted to know if the AEC would have any objection to going ahead and publishing the 30-day notice and then postponing the heirfng if the geological report we2e not in or were such that we could not deal with it at the scheduled,
hearing date. I told him that the AEC would have no prob!en with such a procedure. He asked whether a meeting could be arranged between the geological suney people and our other consultants and PG6E to discuss the earthquake problem prior to the public hearing. I told i
h'm this would be in order as far as we are conceined.

On Friday,_ June 14,1963 I called Mr. Whelchel of PGEE concerning the scheduling of the PGGE Bodega Bay hearing, j
. I told him that I understood that PGhE wanted 7.o proceed l
with the hearing as soon as possible, but in view of the fact that we had been informed that day that the geological-survey report would not be available for 2-3 weeks, we would not be 'able to deal with the earthquake problem at a hearing to be scheduled in mid to -late July. I told i
him that it was too late to publish the 30-day notice for-a hearing on July 16,' which had been scheduled when we expected the geological survey report by the middle of June, and that the earliest we could publish for a hearing would be the week of June 22 I told him that if PG6E wanted. the hearing, scheduled as soon as possible, we' could do this but because of the delay in the geological report that we would not be able to addnss ourselves to the earthquake problem until we had received and reviewed the geological' report. If the hearing was scheduled the week of July 22,'I told him that we would have to reserve on the earthquake question and would have.to postoone the completion of the hearing until a later' date.
I also told him that he ought to recognize the possibility that
-l
[
the geological survey sport to be received in 2-3 weeks j
l might not be a final report and might speak of the need for further investigation.
J lie told me that he.would discuss this with his people
~
and get in touch with me later. He wanted to know if j
the ASC would have any objection to going ahead and 1
publishing the 30-day notice and then postponing the
]
hearing if the geological report were not in or were i
such that we could not deal with it at the scheduled hearing date. I told him that the AEC would have no j
problem with such a procedure. He asked whether a meeting could be arranged between the' geological survey people and our other consultants and PG4E to discuss the-earthquake problem prior to the public hearing. I told
. him this would be in order as far as we are concerned.
