State of North Carolina )

ROBERT G. BLACK, JR., being duly sworn, deposes and says:-

1. I am the Director - Emergency Preparedness for Appli-cant, Carolina Power & Light Company. In my professional ca-

pacity, I have been personally involved in the development of

{ the onsite emergency plan and procedures for the. Harris plant for the past three-and a half years. Further, I have attended i

numerous industrial symposiums, am active in related profes-sional associations, and have participated in numerous emergen-cy exercises at operating nuclear plants. A current statement 3

of my professional qualifications and experience is attached

P.O. Box 1551, Raleigh, North Carolina 27602. I have personal l knowledge of the matters stated herein and believe them to be true and correct. I make this Supplemental Affidavit in re-sponse to Eddleman Contention 213.

2. As indicated in the January 14, 1985 " Affidavit of Robert G. Black,-Jr. on Eddleman 213," Carolina Power & Light Company contracted with Acoustic Technology, Inc. ("ATI") to

~

j analyze and evaluate the alerting of swimmers, boaters, and wa-terskiers on Harris Lake, and to prepare a report documenting the anelysis of the warning system design for alerting such

populations. ATI has recently completed its study and has issued its report, " Analysis and Evaluation of Siren Notifica-l tion for Boaters, Waterskiers, and Swimmers On Harris Lake" (March 1985).

3. The March 1985 report describea ATI's proposal to en-

, hance the existing system of sirens installed throughout the Harris plume Emergency Planning Zone, to assure siren notifica-l tion of swimmers,-boaters, and waterskiers on Harris Lake. As l documented in the report, a configuration of ten additional si-i rens (activated for a total of 10 minutes) would provide essen-l tially.100 percent notification to people on Harris Lake within l 15 minutes. CP&L has committed to install these additional ten i sirens.

4. In addition, 15 billboards are being erected in prom-L inent locations around Harris Lake (for example, on roads i

l o .-

(

leading to the Lake, and at the Harris Visitors' Center, and at each of the public boat ramps) prior to fuel load. The in-structional message on the billboards will advise that upon emergency notification by sirens, or colored smoke or flares, persons are to leave the lake immediately and to turn on radios or televisions for information and instructions.

5. These provisions for the alert and notification of persons on Harris Lake obviate the need for measures such as those suggested by Mr. Eddleman, e.g., limiting the number of boaters, swimmers, and waterskiers on the lake.
