Harold,
URS contacted me this afternoon to say they are having problems reviewing the Environmental Report (ER) for
the Cell 4B proposal. Apparently, the 4/30/08 DUSA submittal is missing several items on both the paper and
PDF versions.
Bob Baird has identified what is missing in an email, which I have attached herewith. Can you please assemble
this information and resolve Bob's questions, so the review can move forward? Once we receive the information
needed, we can get back to preparing the Round 1 Interrogatory for the ER. To help DRC meet the September
17 deadline for a Round 1 Interrogatory, I would hope you could get us what we need early next week.
For Bob's Item 1, we are going to need a new PDF copy of the submittal that is text searchable. Steve Landau
has had this problem with other submittals, so I am sure he can guide you thru that.
For Bob's Item 4,1 expect that will involve a sizeable amount of existing DUSA reports / documents. To
facilitate the distribution of this material to the URS team, I would suggest that those materials also be provided
in text searchable PDF format.
If a meeting is in order to discuss and clarify any of Bob's request, please call me on Monday, August 24 to
arrange a conference call.
Thanks for your help.
Loren

Loren:
Having reviewed DUSA's Cell 4B Environmental Report (Cell 48 ER), we have identified several matters that require
DUSA's immediate attention and action in order for us to continue our detailed review and preparation of first round
interrogatories. These follow:
1. According to provisions of UAC R313-12-111, the Cell 4B ER should be a searchable electronic format. The pdf file
provided on April 30, 2008 is not searchable. Please request that a searchable file be provided.
2. Several intemal references are ambiguous: The Table of Contents identifies Appendices A, B, and C but no such title
pages of other designations are provided in the ER and at least one ofthe titles is not consistent. Please request that these
ambiguities be resolved and the document revised accordingly and resubmitted.
3. No Reference section is provided in the ER but should be.
4. Numerous references are made to documents to which we do not have ready access, several of which are incorporated by
reference. Our review must include consideration of information contained in these references since they are offered as
justification. Please request that searchable electronic copies ofthese references be provided. They are:
* "the initial 1978 NRC FEIS"; Cell 4B ER, Page i.
* "1978 ER"; Cell 4B ER, Page 4.
* "the FES"; Cell 4B ER, Page 4 and numerous subsequent pages.
