Fishes:
1)
Crystal Darter - Ammocryta asprella (endangered, WI) 2)
Bluntnose Darter - Etneostoma enlorosomum (endangered, WI) 3)
Goldeye - Hiodon alosoides (threatened - WI) 4)

Molluscs:
1)
Higgins Eye Pearly Mussel - Lampsilis higginsi (en-dangered - WI and U.S.)
Plants:
(none)
g A survey oi the area immediately surrounding the La Crosse Boiling Reactor was made for the higgins eye clam and this study and its conclusions are attached to this response.
l 2.
Were any endangered or threatened animal species known to be reproducing on the site before construction?
Response
No surveys were taken before construction.
The Genoa #1 unit was in operation just north of the LACBWR site and a commercial fishing camp was operated just south of the site.
It would seem unlikely that any endangered or threatened species would have been in that area.
There are presently two nesting pairs of bald eagles on the west side of the Mississippi River channel between one and two miles from the site.
There is also a heron and egret rookery about two miles south of the site, on the west side of the river.
Aquatic surveys have identified the crystal darter, gold-eye, pallid shiner, blue sucker, black buffalo and the mud darter in Pool #9.
A mussel survey in the vicinity of the facility indicated that no higgin's eye clams were in Thief Slough.
3.
What is the current use of Pool 9 by wa terfo wl ?
Response
Useage of the pool by waterfowl has increased by over three times since the facility went on line.
The following table indicates the annual day use by waterfowl on navigation
_ Pool #9 of the Mississippi River from 1965 through 1977.
4.
Has there been any change in the tra:s smi ssi on network?
Response
There has been no change in the transmission network in the vicinity of the facility since its construction.
5.
Was any potential ha bi t.t t for endangered or threatened wild-life destroyed by the construction activities?
Response
No survey was conducted but most probably no potential habi-tat for endangered or threatened wildlife was destroyed by the construction activities.
6.
Has opera tion of the plant disturbed nearby birds or nam-mals?
t-l
Response
To our knowledge, operation of the plant has not disturbed nearby birds or mammals..
(No Question 7) 8.
Please provide detailed loca tion map of wells described
'n Table 2.5-4 of the Environmental Report.
Response
Location of the wells is given on the attached Land Owner-ship Map indicating wells 1 through 5.
9.
Please provide monitoring da ta (including alkalinity) on the ashpit #1 discharge.
Response
There has been no discharge from the #1 ashpit.
No analysis of the water in the ashpit has been made.
10.
Please provide the following informa tion:
6peration and maintenance and fuel costs, mills /kWho for the past three years for La Crosse, as well as the cost of fuel, operation and maintenance for other units on the system and the cost of purchased power for the past three years.

Dear Mr. Madgett:
Based upon our review of your Cooling Water Intake Structure Final Report for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor, ve have detemined the location and operation of this intake structure to have ninicci enviror.=catal impact.
Therefore, it is the Department's determination that no codifications of your cooling vater intake structure or operations are required for com-pliance with Section 1h7 02(6), Wisconsin Statutes.
The Department has based their conclusion upon the follovir.s factors:-~
1.
The impinge =ent of adult and juvenile fish snecies cc= prised.015 by veight of the reported avera6e cc==ercial catch in pool #9 for 1970-1974.
2.
White Bass, a fairly prolific species, accounted for 95% of all larvae entrained durin6 the one year study period.
3 I=pinsement and entrainment had no hamful effect on the sport or ce==ercial fishery of pool #9 in the Mississippi River.
