Glen Allen, VA 23060 RE:
Request to renew the operating licenses for Units 2 and 3 of the Millstone Power Station in Waterford, Connecticut Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, applicant
Dear Mr. Emch and Ms. Faggert:
We are in receipt of a request for Federal coastal consistency concurrence for renewal of the operating licenses for Units 2 and 3 at the Millstone Power Station in Waterford, Connecticut.
This consistency concurrence request was submitted pursuant to 15 CFR 930.50.
Continued operation of the Millstone Nuclear Power plant requires renewal of the NPDES permit previously issued for the discharge of cooling waters. A request for that permit renewal was submitted by the applicant in a timely fashion and is cufrently pending before the Deparlrment.
In the interest of permit coordination, we have elected to waive the separate Federal coastal consistency review for this particular operating license application. However, this waiver should not be construed as our determination that the proposed activities are consistent with Connecticut's approved coastal management program. Instead, the State of Connecticut will evaluate the consistency of this proposed activity for conformance with the relevant coastal management policies, standards and criteria in conjunction with the State's NPDES permit review process as required by the Connecticut Coastal Management Act [Connecticut General Statutes (CGS) sections 22a-90 through 22a-1 12].

April 27, 2004 Page 2 This waiver is provided in response to the Federal coastal consistency concurrence request and the supporting documentation submitted to this Office on January 27, 2004. Any subsequent modification, addition or deletion to the proposed activity, regardless of its magnitude or impact, constitutes a new application for the purposes of federal consistency certification. Accordingly, all such modifications, additions or deletions must be submitted to the State of Connecticut for a coastal consistency concurrence pursuant to 15 CFR 930.50.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, you may contact Margaret Welch of this Office via e-mail at margaret.welch@po.state.ct.us or by phone at 860.424.3034. Thank you.
