APPLICANT'S RESPONSE TO INTERVENOR DOHERT.

MOTIONS FOR

SUMMARY

DISPOSITION  ; #G 1/

On two prior occasions- Intervenor Doherty has filed

.

" supplemental responses" to motions for summary disposition concerning three of his contentions. In response to each of these pleadings Applicant has pointed out that Mr. Doherty does not have leave from this Board to file late responses, has not attempted to show any good cause for late filing, and that Mr.

Doherty's extracts from the " Reed Report" have no demonstrable relationship to the affected contentions even if his unsworn

" testimony" interpreting these excerpts is considered evidence, which it is not. The same reply is appropriate in this instance.

Mr. Doherty again does not attempt to justify his tardiness. Indeed, he never even attempts to explain why these points could not have been raised months ago. His ef-forts might be justifiable if he were providing the Board with meaningful information. 'The fact is that obscure references to

, the Reed Report are not self-evident proof of Mr. Doherty's

-

contentions, and Mr. Doherty fails to establish, by affidavit or otherwise, any clear connection between such references and the contention in issue. Mr. Doherty's motions leave that task I

to the Board -- he implies that the Board needs to subpoena the

,

l Reed Report on its own motion, review the report and then draw a connection between the report and his contention. All of these things could have been done by Mr. Doherty through a competent witness. The fact is, however, that Applicant's motions for summary disposition remain unanswered by responses from competent witnesses.

Respectfully submitted,
