November 7, 2004 Mr. Michael Stoll Fish and Wildlife Biologist New York Field Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 3817 Luker Road Cortland, NY 13045

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR LIST OF PROTECTED SPECIES WITHIN THE AREA UNDER EVALUATION FOR THE NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL (TAC NOS. MC3274 AND MC3275)

Dear Mr. Stoll:

This letter serves as follow up to a telephone conversation you held with Mr. James Wilson of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff on October 25, 2004, regarding the license renewal review of Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 (NMP). We would like to confirm that the proposed action would include the use and continued maintenance of existing NMP facilities and transmission lines. Based on the applicants environmental report, Constellation Energy Group Inc. has no plans for major refurbishment or construction activities at NMP for continued operations during the license renewal term. This was confirmed through discussions with the licensee during the NRCs site audit conducted on September 22, 2004.

Periodic maintenance of the transmission rights-of-way to control vegetation will be performed during the license renewal period. No additional clearing or land disturbance on-site is planned for the renewal period. Likewise, no in-lake activities related solely to the renewal are planned.

As stated in our letter of August 24, 2004, the NRC requests a list of species and information on protected, proposed, and candidate species and critical habitat that may be in the vicinity of NMP and its associated transmission lines. In addition, please provide any information you consider appropriate under the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1934.

Your office will receive a copy of the draft EIS along with a request for comments. The anticipated publication date for the draft NMP EIS is April 2005.

M. Stoll If you have any further questions concerning the NRC staffs review of this license renewal application, please contact Ms. Leslie C. Fields, Environmental Project Manager at 301-415-1186 or email LCF@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
