1 l

1371 Peachtree Street, NE - Suite 736 - Atlanta, Georgia - 30309. l I have personal knowledge of the matters discussed herein and believe them to be true and correct. I make this affidavit in response to Eddleman Contention 213.

2. FEMA staff stated in the " FEMA Response to Interrogatories Propounded by Intervenor Wells Eddleman", dated September 25, 1984:

"We agree that a plan for Harris Lake, similar to the plan for Jordan Lake.(Annex G) should be included in the radiological emergency plan-ning for Plant Harris".

In October 1984, FEMA Region IV staff received a revised copy of the Harris plan entitled " North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Feb. 1984, Rev. 1, Sept. 1984." This revised plan contains, in Annex J, a plan similar to the plan for Jordan Lake entitled " Warning and Notifica-tion of Boaters on Harris Lake and the Surroundina Recreation Areas".

In addition, FEMA staff understands, from the " Supplemental Affidavit of Robert G. Black, Jr. on Eddleman 213", that a study entitled " Analysis and Evaluation of-Siren Notification for Boaters, Waterskiers, and Swimmers on Harris Lake" has been completed. On the basis of that study, FEMA staff understands that ten additional sirens would provide notification to people on Harris Lake, and that CP&L has committed to install these additional sirens.- Also, FEMA understands that 15 instructional billboards are being erected around Harris Lake to advise the public on emergency procedures.

FEMA staff is of the opinion that the revised Harris Plan and applicants' actions have satisfactorily responded to the issue of Edd, leman's Contention 213.
