SUBJECT:

DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW (TAC NO. MD9770)

Dear Mr. Nulty:

During the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) review of the license renewal application by FPL Energy Duane Arnold, LLC, for Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC), the NRC found 12 historic and archaeological sites within the transmission lines. These transmission lines are associated with DAEC and are owned by ITC Midwest, LLC (ITC). These sites were identified during an archaeological records search at the offices of the Iowa Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA). The purpose of this letter is to inform ITC of these archaeological sites so ITC can take the appropriate measures to consider these sites. In addition to the items listed in the table below, there is also the potential for prehistoric mounds to be in or near ITC transmission line rights-of-way. For more details about these sites, please contact SHPO and OSA. The following is a table of the sites found in the transmission line rights-of-way.

Historic and Archaeological Sites in the DAEC Associated Transmission Lines Site Number Cultural Affiliation NRHP* Status 13LN81 Prehistoric Unevaluated 13LN88 Woodland Unevaluated 13LN139 Prehistoric/Historic Unevaluated 13LN141 Prehistoric Unevaluated 13LN167 Prehistoric Unevaluated 13LN173 Prehistoric Unevaluated 13LN183 Prehistoric Unevaluated 13LN228 Prehistoric Unevaluated 13LN362 Historic Unevaluated 13LN380 Historic Unevaluated 13LN465 Prehistoric Unevaluated 13LN810 Historic Unevaluated
