The Natural Heritage Database identified the presence of State protected resources within the vicinity of portions of the existing transmission lines associated with each power station. Adverse impacts to State protected resources do not appear likely. Excelon has been advised to inform the Department if new transmission lines are proposed in the future.
The Department thoroughly discussed and evaluated the operating license renewal applications for each of the subject power stations. It is the Department's biological opinion that continued operation of the power stations, as described and detailed in the operating license applications, will not adversely affect 'State protected resources or existing environmental conditions in the immediate vicinity of -the Dresden and Quad Cities nuclear power stations.
