FYI: Indian Point renewed license issued + BiOp conditions contained therein Importance:
High Julie and Julie, For your awareness, the NRC issued the Indian Point renewed licenses earlier this week. You can view the NRCs transmittal letter to Entergy at ML18211A596.
Specific to the Biological Opinion, the NRC included conditions in the Environmental Technical Specification Requirements, Appendix B of the licenses, which you can view at ML18212A185 (Unit 2) and ML18212A194 (Unit 3).
Both Appendix Bs are identical. The requirements related to the Biological Opinion are in Section 4.2, Environmental Monitoring, and read as follows:
In accordance with Section 7(a) of the Endangered Species Act, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issued a Biological Opinion related to the continued operation of IP2 and IP3 that pertains to shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus). The Biological Opinion includes an Incidental Take Statement with Reasonable and Prudent Measures that the NMFS has determined to be necessary or appropriate to minimize the amount or extent of incidental take and associated Terms and Conditions, which are non-discretionary and implement the Reasonable and Prudent Measures. The currently applicable Biological Opinion concludes that continued operation of IP2 and IP3 is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the listed species or to adversely affect the designated critical habitat of those species.
Entergy shall adhere to the requirements within the Incidental Take Statement of the currently applicable Biological Opinion. Changes to the Biological Opinion, including the Incidental Take Statement, Reasonable and Prudent Measures, and Terms and Conditions contained therein, must be preceded by consultation between the NRC, as the authorizing agency, and the NMFS.
These requirements are pursuant to the NMFSs statement in the Biological Opinion (ML13032A256 as amended by ML18101A588) that NRC must ensure through enforceable terms of the existing and renewed licenses that Entergy does comply with, the following terms and conditions of the Incidental Take Statement Please do reach out by phone or email with any questions.
