SUBJECT:

ENVIRONMENTAL SITE AUDIT REGARDING DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 1, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION

Dear Mr. Allen:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is reviewing the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) license renewal application for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 (DBNPS). The environmental site audit will be conducted at DBNPS during the week of March 7, 2011, by NRC and Argonne National Laboratory staff.

To develop the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, the NRC staff requests the information described in the enclosed environmental audit needs list be made available, to the extent possible, during the DBNPS environmental site audit. A draft schedule of tours and meetings for the audit is also enclosed. The NRC staff informally transmitted this information to Mr. Cliff Custer, FENOC, via e-mail on February 16, 2011.

If you have any questions, please contact Paula Cooper by telephone at (301) 415-2323 or by e-mail at paula.cooper@nrc.gov, for the review of the DBNPS license renewal application.

Sincerely, OJ 9-tJ__

DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION. UNIT NUMBER 1 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SITE AUDIT INFORMATIONAL NEEDS The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the environmental report (ER) in the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS) license renewal application and has found it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 51.45. However, to develop the corresponding supplemental environmental impact statement, a number of additional informational needs have been identified and outlined below. Please be prepared to discuss and/or have the following information and documentation available for review during the March 7-11,2011, environmental site audit.

General During specific plant area tours, please provide personnel knowledgeable in the pertinent technical area(s) (e.g., aquatic ecology, terrestrial biology, meteorology, etc.) to guide or accompany the tour and to field questions that may arise during the tour. In addition to resource-specific tours, interview time for NRC staff and licensee/contractor counterparts should also be scheduled Historic and Archaeological Resources

1. A map detailing the level of ground disturbance/fill at the plant, including documentation on how this level of disturbance was determined and approximate acreages. Has this understanding of the level of disturbance been coordinated with the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)? In other words is the Ohio SHPO in agreement that these portions of the plant have been disturbed sufficiently as to preclude the possibility of any significant archaeological resources existing in these areas?

2. A series of aerial photographs of the entire plant site and associated transmission line(s)

(during pre-construction, construction, and post-construction periods) looking at levels of disturbance that occurred during construction or since operation, whether any historic structures or possible sites are present on the property, and identifying any recent projects that will require a review of additional documentation.

3. USGS 7.5" topographic quadrangle maps of the plant and associated transmission line(s). The staff may need to take the quad maps with them to the Ohio SHPO to complete the independent file search.

4. Vegetation/land-use maps of the plant and associated transmission line(s).

5. Maps of ownership and land use of the Applicant's property and associated transmission lines. Copies of historic plat maps would be useful, if available.

ENCLOSURE

- 2

6. Applicant's Environmental Compliance Manual and any other environmental review procedures for land-disturbing activities (e.g., trenching, clearing, digging).

7. Applicant's transmission line vegetation management plan, including mowing, herbicide application, and clearing; inspections and repair activities conducted by helicopters or other vehicles; standard operating procedures or guidelines for the applicant and any contractors; technician training programs, and any regulations that restrict maintenance activities (e.g., looking for the depth of disturbance, especially with tree removal in a portion of the corridor). Vegetation management procedures for the site and associated transmission line(s), looking specifically for special procedures to avoid impacts to historic and archaeological resources.

8. Information on grounds maintenance/management around less-developed areas of the plant site. Have someone available who can speak to environmental management activities on the leased lands for the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area and compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act.

9. Documentation of development projects that have occurred on the property since the construction of Unit 1, (e.g. landscaping, fencing, parking areas, etc) to determine how historic and archaeological resources were considered. What materials are used by the staff to determine whether the SHPO should be consulted? Any surveyor mitigation reports performed in conjunction with the plant or transmission line(s), or for other/subsequent plant activities.

10. Consultation letters and other documentation indicating correspondence with the SHPO and Federally recognized Native American Tribes that have aboriginal ties to the project area.

11. Meetings requested

a. Meeting with applicant staff and member of the grounds maintenance team to go over the Environmental Compliance Manual to determine how they manage resources, avoid impacting historic and archaeological resources, and deal with inadvertent discovery of historic and archaeological materials and human remains. Is any training required for staff?

b. Meeting with applicant staff and the Right-of-way (ROW) contractor to discuss ROW maintenance and any procedures in place regarding protection of historic properties along transmission line corridors.

- 3

12. Tours requested

a. General site tour - would like to see historic site in SE corner of property if possible.

b. Transmission line tour (including any archaeological sites recorded along the line)

Terrestrial Resources

1. In Section 2.5 of the ER, provide updated county lists of Federal and State listed and candidate species occurring or potentially occurring at the Davis-Besse site and in Ottawa, Lucas, Wood, and Sandusky counties, where the transmission line corridors traverse. Current referenced data from ODNR and USFWS in table 2.5-1 and possibly Table 2.5-2 are over two years old.

2. What Federally and State-listed species have actual known occurrences at the Davis-Besse site or along the entire transmission line corridors? Table 2.5-2 combines known with potential occurrences.

a. Beaver Line - Ottawa and Sandusky counties

b. Lemoyne Line - Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood counties

c. Bay Shore Line - Ottawa and Lucas counties

3. Please incorporate onto a copy Figure 3.1-1 in*the ER or a comparable figure the permanent and temporary structures proposed to support refurbishment, such as the proposed 12,000 sq ft permanent storage facility and other structures discussed in Sect. 3.2.

4. In Section 4.10.1 of the ER, refurbishment work is discussed in relation to following requirements of the USFWS and ODNR in order to protect listed species. In 4.10.2 of the ER, penultimate paragraph, the ER states Ii... transmission line maintenance is conducted in accordance with FE policies that are protective of threatened or endangered species." Please provide a copy of FE's vegetative management policies and/or plan to protect Federally and State-listed listed species at the site and along the transmission line corridors. Sect. 3.1.4 references transmission line maintenance activities (FE 2007), but does not describe maintenance activities designed specifically to protect Federally-listed species.

5. Please provide a copy of your vegetative management plan to control invasive plant species on site and along the transmission line corridors.
