APPLICANT'S ANSWER IN OPPOSITION TO PETITION FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE OF STEVE J. GADLER Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.714 (b) , Consumers Power Company ,
the Applicant in this proceeding , hereby files this Answer in Opposition to the Petition For Leave To Intervene of Steve J. Gadler, dated December 2d, 1971. Applicant urges the presiding officer in this pro'ceeding to exercise his authority under 10 CFR 2.714 (c) to deny the petitiori for the following reasons:
, ,
- 1. To the extent that petitioner has any interest in this. proceeding, it is already adequately represented by the existing parties ; and the addition of petitioner as a ,
party would further burden an already protracted proceeding.
In specifying the grounds for his attempted
' intervention , petitioner avers that he seeks to protect "the high quality of life enjoyed by all citizens in the United States" (p.1) , which is threatened by the release of any radiation into the environment by atomic electrical generat-ing plants.. Petitioner, who resid'es several hundred miles

from Midland, does not assert any personal ties to the area
,
in any reasonable proximity to where it is proposed the
-
plant will.be constructed and operated. Nor does petitioner l
'
cite any considerations indicative of a special concern with the Midland plant, in distinction to any other electrical generating. facility. Similarly, his contentions with regard to Emergency Core Cooling System relate only to the inadequacy of code criteria and not the inadequacy of this particular i
1/
plant's ECCS operation (p. 5).'-
Clearly then, petitioner seeks to represent the broadest public interest in this proceeding, rather than
. any identifiable particular inter'est. Congress has allocated that role to the Atomic Energy Commission itself and to its staff. Moreover, private groups purporting to represent the public interest already abound in the instant proceeding.
Petitioner's interests as a U.S. citizen and his contentions have been amply aired and vigorously pressed by the opposing intervenors who are presently parties. And, there is nothing whatsoever in the instant petition to support a belief that the public would derive additional benefit from this new self-styled protector. See Sierra _ Club v. Mor_ ton, 433.- F.2d 24 (9th Cir.'1970)., cert.jgranted 401 U.S~.

It is well' settled that intervention may properly be denied where the interests and contentions of the petitioning party are receiving adequate representation and expression by existing parties. Matter of Duke Power Co.,

appeared in the Federal Register on October 29, 1970 (35 F.R. '

as refle.cted in subsequent correspondence, concerning -

the terms of that limited appearance, petitioner has not
-
'
previously made any attempt to intervene. On November 29,
-
1971, a supplementary notice of hearing was issued by the .
<
. AEC, stating that the existing proceeding would consider
.
enumerated environmen'tal matters in accordance with the ,
, September 9, 1971 revision of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix D, *
. and inviting intervention "with respect to the issues set .
. .
,
'
. forth in this notice" (p . '5) .
.
' Petitioner's conten tions clearly involve radiological and safety issues, notwithstanding that he throws phrases .
like " environmental degradation" (p . 1) about. He seeks
.
to contest the reasonableness of Part 20 standards for
- radiation emissions and the adequacy of ECCS code criteria.
But the,se are not new issues in this proceeding, and inter-
.
ventilon with respect tio them is expressly precluded by the
.
.
supplemental notice (p. 3) . .

for leave to intervene which is not timely filed will be dismissed unless tlie petitioner shows just cause for failure
,

to file it on time." 10 CFR 2.714 (a) .
-
Petitioner has shown
'
.
no reason for this tardiness in raising issues which have ,
"
,
been under, consideration for some time, and which were not N'
,
affecte'd.by tlie Appendix D revision. Accordingly, his -

petition to intervene,should be denied.

September 6, 1968.
- 3. Denial of the instant petition will not signifi-cantly prejudice petitioner.
.
Petitioner has been involved in this proceeding since its inception. As a limited participant he has been accorded the opportunity to make written statements.
10 CFR 2.715 (a) ; see letter to petitioner's attorney from Chairman Murphy dated May 4, 1971. As has been noted earlier, petitioner's views and interests a're actually being championed in this proceeding by the already' existing parties. Indeed, he in fact already appears to be actively involved in managing
.
Midland's case. He has sat at the side of counsel for Mapleton intervenors during the hearings. Those intervenors have announced plans to have him testify at the hearings an an expert witness. (See Mapleton pleading of July 8,1971.)
This type of effective participation, though not as a party, precludes prejudice to the purported intervenor and, thus, 5/ Petition to intervene of municipal utilities commission to oppose AEC construction permit held to have been properly denied on grounds of tardy application, where petitioner had not previously intervened since it felt its' interests were being adequately presented by another municipality, which, however, subsequently declined to appeal an adverse ruling. Denial of intervention was again affirmed on re-hearing, Matter of Philadelphia Electric Co. (Peach ___ Bottom Units 2 and 31, 2 Atomic Energy L. Rep._ 1 11,269.04, AEC Docket Nos. 50-277, 278, decided October 14, 1968.
