PCHBPollution Control Hearings Board of the State of Washington

The Port controls access to the site and has all the data and reports which are the subject of this case. Pursuant to the Pre-hearing Order, the general discovery deadline is February 1, 2002, just nine working days from today's date. The Port is no doubt aware of the discovery schedule. The Port has refused, until January 16, 2002, to even agree to propose dates for site visits and only two days before that, to begin metering out data and reports of its experts. ACC should not be forced to proceed to hearing on such disparate terms. Accordingly, the Board should grant ACC's Motion to Extend the Discovery Schedule. The Port's Opposition is less than forthcoming with all of the facts and circumstances regarding the discovery process. First, the Port's Opposition (p. 2) states that, "ACC has failed to identify or produce a single document in response to the Port's Request for Production" (emphasis added). ACC's Answers and Responses to the Port's Interrogatories are attached as Exhibit U to the Declaration of Michael P. Witek in Support of ACC's Response to Motions to Compel and Limit Entry. ACC objected24 to the broad scope of the Port's requests, but nonetheless identified a number of responsive documents, ACC'S REPLY ON MOTION TO EXTEND HELSELL FETTERMAN LLP Rachael Paschal Osborn DISCOVERY SCHEDULE - 1 1500 Puget Sound Plaza Attorney at Law 1325 Fourth Avenue West Mission Ave. Spokane, WA 99201 R I G !
