Subject:
List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location or may be affected by your proposed project To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed list identifies species listed as threatened and endangered, species proposed for listing as threatened or endangered, designated and proposed critical habitat, and species that are candidates for listing that may occur within the boundary of the area you have indicated using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) Information Planning and Conservation System (IPaC). The species list fulfills the requirements under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the species list should be verified after 90 days. We recommend that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists following the same process you used to receive the enclosed list. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any correspondence about the species list.
Due to staff shortages and excessive workload, we are unable to provide an official list more specific to your area. Numerous other sources of information are available for you to narrow the list to the habitats and conditions of the site in which you are interested. For example, we recommend conducting a biological site assessment or surveys for plants and animals that could help refine the list.
If a Federal agency is involved in the project, that agency has the responsibility to review its proposed activities and determine whether any listed species may be affected. If the project is a major construction project*, the Federal agency has the responsibility to prepare a biological assessment to make a determination of the effects of the action on the listed species or critical habitat. If the Federal agency determines that a listed species or critical habitat is likely to be adversely affected, it should request, in writing through our office, formal consultation pursuant to section 7 of the Act. Informal consultation may be used to exchange information and resolve
Project code: 2024-0020172 06/07/2024 17:42:18 UTC
2 of 17 conflicts with respect to threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat prior to a written request for formal consultation. During this review process, the Federal agency may engage in planning efforts but may not make any irreversible commitment of resources. Such a commitment could constitute a violation of section 7(d) of the Act.
Federal agencies are required to confer with the Service, pursuant to section 7(a)(4) of the Act, when an agency action is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any proposed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed critical habitat (50 CFR 402.10(a)).
A request for formal conference must be in writing and should include the same information that would be provided for a request for formal consultation. Conferences can also include discussions between the Service and the Federal agency to identify and resolve potential conflicts between an action and proposed species or proposed critical habitat early in the decision-making process. The Service recommends ways to minimize or avoid adverse effects of the action. These recommendations are advisory because the jeopardy prohibition of section 7(a)(2) of the Act does not apply until the species is listed or the proposed critical habitat is designated. The conference process fulfills the need to inform Federal agencies of possible steps that an agency might take at an early stage to adjust its actions to avoid jeopardizing a proposed species.
When a proposed species or proposed critical habitat may be affected by an action, the lead Federal agency may elect to enter into formal conference with the Service even if the action is not likely to jeopardize or result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed critical habitat. If the proposed species is listed or the proposed critical habitat is designated after completion of the conference, the Federal agency may ask the Service, in writing, to confirm the conference as a formal consultation. If the Service reviews the proposed action and finds that no significant changes in the action as planned or in the information used during the conference have occurred, the Service will confirm the conference as a formal consultation on the project and no further section 7 consultation will be necessary. Use of the formal conference process in this manner can prevent delays in the event the proposed species is listed or the proposed critical habitat is designated during project development or implementation.
Candidate species are those species presently under review by the Service for consideration for Federal listing. Candidate species should be considered in the planning process because they may become listed or proposed for listing prior to project completion. Preparation of a biological assessment, as described in section 7(c) of the Act, is not required for candidate species. If early evaluation of your project indicates that it is likely to affect a candidate species, you may wish to request technical assistance from this office.
Only listed species receive protection under the Act. However, sensitive species should be considered in the planning process in the event they become listed or proposed for listing prior to project completion. We recommend that you review information in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Natural Diversity Data Base. You can contact the California Department of Fish and Wildlife at (916) 324-3812 for information on other sensitive species that may occur in this area.
[*A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having

similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)).
For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.

SUMMARY
Project Code:
2024-0020172 Project Name:
Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 Project Type:
Power Gen - Nuclear Project
Description:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is reviewing an application to renew the facility operating licenses for Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, in San Luis Obispo County, California, for an additional 20 years of operation. If granted, the license renewal would allow the applicant to operate the facility through 2044 (Unit 1) and 2045 (Unit 2).
In November 2023, Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) submitted an application for license renewal for Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The current renewed licenses expire at midnight on November 2, 2024, for Unit 1 (DPR-80) and August 26, 2025, for Unit 2 (DPR-82). The NRCs Federal action is to decide whether to renew the licenses for an additional 20 years. Diablo Canyon is a two0-unit, nuclear powered, steam electric generating facility that began commercial operation in 1985. The Diablo Canyon site is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in San Luis Obispo County, California. The site is in the southern Coast Range, which is a part of the California Coast Ranges section of the Pacific Border physiographic province. The region surrounding the power plant site consists of mountains, foothills, marine terraces, and valleys. The dominant features are the San Luis Range adjacent to the site to the northeast, the Santa Lucia Range farther inland, the lowlands of the Los Osos and San Luis Obispo valleys separating the San Luis and Santa Lucia ranges, and the marine terrace along the coastal margin of the San Luis Range.
License renewal would include continued operations of Diablo Canyon, its cooling system, and other existing infrastructure. Circulating water for the cooling system is withdrawn from and discharged to the Pacific Ocean in accordance with the site's NPDES permit. Water withdrawals and discharges would continue at current rates, and no alterations to the cooling system are proposed as part of license renewal. PG&E does not anticipate performing refurbishment or major construction activities during the license renewal period. Ground disturbing activities within developed portions of the site would be limited to mowing, weed-eating, hedge trimming, weed removal, herbicide application, tree trimming, brush removal, debris removal, and the maintenance and repair of plant infrastructure such as roadways, piping installations, fencing, and security-related structures.

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES There is a total of 26 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office if you have questions.
