O AFFIDAVIT OF EDWIN OLIVERA I, Edwin Olivera, Police Chief of the Town of Salisbury do hereby depose and say as follows:

1. Salisbury is a Massachusetts town within ten miles of the site of the nuclear reactor under construction in Seabrook, New Hampshire.

2. Its permanent population of approximately 5,600 residents increases by over 10,000 people between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It is additionally visited by 1,000 - 5,000 motorists daily during the above summer vs. cation period.

3. This large increase in populat'.on and daily influx of beachgoers creates severe congestion a*ong the single access road to our beach. This one-lane access road is fed by Routes 1, 110 and Interstates 495 and 95.

4. At this " feeding" point, Salisbury Square, there is a bottleneck which causes traffic congestion and back-up.

5. These same roads are also used by beachgoers on their way south from Hampton Beach. In an evacuation situation, the concestion will be worsened by this southward evacuation.

6. In normal peak season, traffic emergency vehicles suffer great delay and are caught up in the slow traffic.

7. In the Salisbury area, the state reservation camping area and the three trailer parks are frequented by, among others, French Canadians who do not. understand English.

810820 0 M

8. The-Greenleaf Manor Nursing Home and other housing for the elderly are within ten miles of Seabrook. The two schools in Salisbury are between five and seven miles from Seabrook.

9. I estimate that 1001 evacuation of Salisbury would take at least eight hours.

10. Our biggest evacuation problem is access to and from the beach.

i

11. As an official who would be involved in effectuating i any actual evacuation, I f eel that the issue of emergency evacuation planning should be addressed at the earliest possible time.

Signed under the pains and penalties of perjury this 6th day of March, 1981.
