UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555*0001 November 22, 2010 Mr. David Graham, Chief Division of Wildlife Ohio Department of Natural Resources 2045 Morse Rd., Bldg G-3 Columbus, OH 43229-6693
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR LIST OF PROTECTED SPECIES WITHIN THE AREA UNDER EVALUATION FOR THE DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REVIEW
Dear Mr. Graham:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (!\\IRC or the staff) is reviewing an application submitted by FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FEI\\JOC), for the renewal of the operating license for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 (DBNPS). DBNPS is located 25 miles east of Toledo, OH. The application for renewal was submitted by FENOC, in a letter dated August 27,2010, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54). The NRC has established that, as part of the staff's review of any nuclear power plant license renewal application, a site-specific Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to its Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, will be prepared under 10 CFR Part 51, the NRC's regulation that implements the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. The SEIS includes an analysis of pertinent environmental issues, including endangered or threatened species and impacts to fish and wildlife. This letter is being submitted under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1934, as amended.
FENOC stated that it has no plans to alter current operations over the license renewal period.
DBNPS, operating under a renewed license, would use existing plant facilities and transmission lines, and would not require additional construction or disturbance of new areas. According to FENOC, any maintenance activities would be limited to previously disturbed areas. The DBNPS site consists of 954 acres, of which approximately 733 acres are marshland currently leased to the U.S. Government as a national wildlife refuge.
As part of the SEIS preparation, the applicable transmission line corridors will be reviewed. The DBNPS 345 kilovolt (kV) switchyard is adjacent to the plant centrally located on the property.
From here, three 345 kV transmission lines connect DBNPS to the power grid. The transmission lines labeled Bay Shore Line, Lemoyne Line, and Beaver Line are shown on the attached enclosure. Please see the map in Enclosure 4 for further detail.
To support the SEIS preparation process and to ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, 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 DBNPS and its associated transmission line rights-of-way. In addition, please provide any information you consider appropriate under the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act.
D. Graham
