Operation of Wolf Creek Generating Station Unit No. 1 Docket No. STN 50-482 RE:

Completion of Questionnaire for University of Kansas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) monitoring grant The University of Kansas Center for Research recently initiated a study with funding from the Environmental protection Agency, Region 7 to investigate the implementation of mitigation measures proposed in EISs and recommended during the review process.

This study examines the extent to which the mitigation proposed was an.cepted, if all of the mitigation measures outlined in each Record of Decision-(ROD) were implemented, and the extent to which mitigation was successful in offsetting environmen' al impacts.

This study focusec on mitigation measures for environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands and floodplains located in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska.

I would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes and fill out the following questionnaire.

The data obtained from the questionnaire will be very important to the successful completion of this project, one - of the project goals is to publish a reference guide specifically for Federal and State,gencies, environmental consulting firms, and contractors.

It will contain:

(1)- the mitigation proposed for -the adverso-environmental impacts.

of a proposed action, (2) the mitigation that was implemented, and (3) the effectiveness of the mitigation.

I would be happy to furnish your office with a copy of the reference guide when it is completed.

z Thpnk you for your time and cooperation. If at all possible, please return the questionnaire to me by January 30, 1992.

If you have any questions about the research project or the questionnaire, please call me at 913-864-7770 or FTS 913-864-7786.

Sincerely yours, r
