South Texas: t-line maps for T&E review Hi Moni, Thanks for getting in touch with me this afternoon regarding your review of T&E species for the proposed South Texas license renewal. As I understand it, you have a copy of the NRCs December 10, 2012 letter requesting concurrence with our ESA effect determinations and a copy of the November 2012 draft EIS that evaluates the impacts of license renewal. You are looking for maps of the 9 transmission line corridors in order to determine whether you can concur or not with NRCs effect determinations.

I have located several maps for you to look over. The first is an overview of the transmission line system. This map was sent as part of STPNOCs license renewal application to the NRC. See Figure 3.1-2 on PDF page 113 of STPNOCs environmental report.

The NRC also completed a review for two new nuclear units at the South Texas site in 2011. We did a separate NEPA review for this, and STPNOC submitted a separate application. The NRC hasnt made a licensing decision on this project, however, the application has some maps of the transmission lines in it. See this description of the transmission line system. (Note, though, that this discussion mentions new transmission line ties and upgrades that are not part of the license renewal.) You can also access the full application here and the NRCs final EIS for that review here. Previous correspondence between NRC and FWS for that review is in Appendix F. It actually looks like you were the point of contact for that review, too. You may have talked with Jessie Muir or Harriet Nash, both of whom work in the NRCs new reactor division. (I am in the operating reactor division.)

Please let me know if these maps will do. This is what I have on hand, but if I need to request maps for you from the applicant, I can do so. Thanks for getting in touch with me, and I look forward to working with you further.
