RE: RE Indian Point Biological Opinion Hi Dara, Ive looked through the NYSDEC Letter to Entergy and saw that a letter is referenced in which Entergy applied for a permit for incidental take from NYSDEC (November 21, 2011). I am not aware that the NRC has a copy of this letter (i.e., I could not locate it in ADAMS). We would like to have a copy for our information. Could you please send a copy at your convenience?

Thanks, Kim From: Gray, Dara F [2]

RE Indian Point Biological Opinion Hi Kim First let me introduce myself - I am the Environmental Lead at Indian Point. Although you were previously the Safety PM for our license renewal, I have only dealt with the environmental side of the house and we have not had an opportunity to work together in the past - so I thought an introduction would be helpful.

In keeping with my previous dealings with Drew Stuyvenberg, II wanted to keep you informed of any developments which could be related to Indian Points License Renewal Environmental Issues. Therefore, I am forwarding to you a copy of the letter we received from NYSDEC in regards to their recently promulgated NYS Endangered Species Incidental Take Permits (historically, NYSDEC has relied on NMFS for regulating takes of endangered species but recently promulgated regulations which require a NYS Permit, as well. )

Since NMFS recently prepared a Biological Opinion regarding the potential for Indian Point to take shortnose sturgeon, this was submitted to NYSDEC as our application for a permit under NYSDEC (consistent with their practice of deferring to NMFS). The attached letter indicates that NYSDEC is requesting that we submit a formal application to them for the incidental take of shortnose sturgeon, which could occur as a result of IPEC operations.

Our plan is to be fully responsive to NYSDECs request and submit the additional information within the 60 day time frame outlined in the letter.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Due to the NYSDEC 401 Water Quality Certification hearings, I will be out of the office, so emails are the best way to reach me.

Thanks and look forward to working with you.
