PPL Response: Based on the recollection of an individual familiar with the site prior to the power plant, the Golomb brothers (Charles and Theodore) operated a truck farm, growing typical vegetables such as beans, potatoes, sweet corn, tomatoes, cabbage, etc. They operated a produce stand alongside Route 11 and sold some of their vegetables from there. Most of the produce was sent to Thomas & Thomas Co. in Wilkes-Barre, PA, for resale to other areas. The individual did not recall any dairy, beef, or poultry animals being raised on the farm. Other adjacent farms like the Woznock's and Naunczek's, portions of which comprise SSES property today, did basically the same.

,i BALTIMORE, MD 21203-1715 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF Operationis Division SEP 13 2006 Jerrold McCormick PPL Susquehanna, LLC 769 Salem Blvd Berwick, Pennsylvania 18603 Dear Mr. McCormick..
This is in reference to your application, CENAB-OP-RPA (PP&L/SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION)06-10107-P12, dated June 19, 2006 and received by the Corps on June 26, 2006, for Department of the Army (DA) authorization to maintenance dredge approximately 200 cubic yards of silt and sediment from approximately 5,000, square feet in front of the Susquehanna Steamn Electric Station's River intake structure. In addition, 20 to 30 cubic yards shall be removed from inside the discharge diffuser pipe on the river bottom: Dredging will not extend outside the limits of previously permitted maintenance dredging areas. The project is located approximately 0.25 miles east of U.S. Route 11, along the Western bank of the Susquehanna River, in Salem Township, Luzeme County, Pennsylvania. In addition, all dredged material shall be removed to an upland disposal site. Thismaintenance dredging will be conducted on an as needed basis to minimize the accumulation of silt and sediment throughout the station's cooling system. This waterway (and wetlands) has (have) been determined to be within our regulatory jurisdiction and the proposed activity requires DA authorization pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. The proposed work, if accomplished in accordance with the enclosed terms and conditions and the information included in your application, is authorized under the Pennsylvania State Programmatic General Permit-3 (PASPGP-3), as published in the Corps Special Public Notice 06-35 issued on June 12, 2006. This authorization maybe subject to modification, suspension, or revocation if any of the information contained in the application, including the plan(s), is later found to be in error. The enclosed list of conditions must be followed for purposes of the PASPGP-3. The enclosed self-certification form must be completed and returned to this office. This verification is' valid for the length of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) permit, not to exceed three years, or until the PASPGP-3 is modified, reissued, or revoked. You must remain informed of changes to the PASPGP-3. We will issue a public notice announcing the changes when they occur.
2 Activities authorized under the PASPGP-3 that have commenced construction or are under contract to commence construction, will remain authorized provided the activity is-completed within 12 months of the date of the PASPGP-3's expiration, modification, or revocation; or until the expiration date of the project specific verification, whichever is less. Be advised that this verification authorizes the aforementioned work as a single and complete (one time only) activity. If additional work is to be performed, you must notify this office. Subsequent work in this area may require a separate letter of authorization from this office. This verification does not obviate the need for obtaining other Federal, State, or local authorizations. This authorization has been sent to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) Northeast Regional Office and the Luzeme County Conservation District Office. Subsequent correspondence from the PADEP or the County Conservation District may reiterate the contents of this letter.
.If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Mr. Michael Dombroskie from this office at (814)235-0571.

- Philadelphia *] Baltimore [] Pittsburgh U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District " Baltimore District Pittsburgh District Regulatory Branch Regulatory Branch Regulatory Branch Wanamaker Building P.O. Box 1715 Federal Building 100 Penn Square East Baltimore, MD 21203 1000 Liberty Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19107-3390, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4186 It has been determined that your proposed project, which includes the discharge of dredged and/or fill material and/or the placement of structures into waters of the United States, including wetlands, qualifies for Federal authorization under the provisions of Sectioh 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899; under the terms and conditions of the PASPGP-3.
All activities authorized under PASPGP-3 must comply with all conditions of the authorization, including General, Procedural, and Special Conditions. Failure to comply with all the conditions of the authorization, including project special conditions, will constitute a permit violation and may be subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, and /or restoration. The authorized activity must be performed in compliance with the followingGeneral Conditions to be authorized under PASPGP-3: General Conditions:
- 1. PADEP Permit Conditions: The permittee shall comply with all terms and conditions set forth in the PADEP authorization for use of this permit, including all conditions of Section 401 Water Quality Certification, and any subsequent amendment or modification to such authorization. The permittee shall conduct all work and activities in strict compliance with all approved maps, plans,.profiles, and specifications used by PADEP and/or the Corps as the basis for its authorization or subsequent modification of authorization.
- 2. Aquatic Life Movements: No activity may substantially disrupt the movement of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species which normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primaiy purpose is to impoundwater. Culverts placed in streams must be appropriately depressed to maintain aquatic life movement and low flow conditions.
- 3. Threatened and Endangered Species: If an activity is authorized under the PASPGP-3, and a Federally listed threatened or endangered species, or proposed species or critical habitat, is subsequently found to be present, all work must cease, and the Corps and USFWS (or NMFS) must be notified. The PASPGP-3 authorization is suspended and will not be re-issued until consultation pursuant to Section 7 of the ESA is concluded and adverse effects to Federally listed threatened, endangered and proposed species and critical habitat are avoided.
I
Furthermore, persons have an independent responsibility under Section 9 of ESA to not engage in any activity that could result in the "take" of a Federally listed species.
- 4. Spawning Areas.- The permittee shall comply with all time-of-year restrictions as set forth by the PFBC or other designated agency. Discharges or structures in spawning or nursery areas shall not occur during spawning seasons, unless written approval is obtained by the PFBC or other designated agency. In addition, work in areas used for other time sensitive life span activities of fish and wildlife (such as hibernation or migration) may necessitate the use of seasonal restrictions for avoidance of adverse impacts to vulnerable species. Impacts to these areas shall be avoided or minimized to the maximum extent practicable during all other times of the year.
- 5. Waterfowl Breeding and Wintering Areas: Activities including discharges of dredged or fill material or the placerment of structures in breeding and wintering areas of migratory waterfowl must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
- 6. Shellfish Production: No discharge of dredged or fill material and/or the placement of structures may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish production, unless the discharge is directly related to an authorized shellfish harvesting activity.
- 7. Adverse Effects From Impoundments: If the activity, including the discharge of dredged or fill material or the placement of a structure, creates an impoundment of water, the adverse effects on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water and/or the restriction of its flow, including impacts to wetlands, shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
- 8. Obstruction of High Flows: To the maximum extent practicable, the activity'must be designed to maintain pre-construction downstream flow conditions (i.e., location, capacity, and flow rates).
Furthermore, the activity must not permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or expected high flows (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound waters), and the structure or discharge of dredged or fill material must withstand expected high flows. The Activity must, to the maximum extent practicable, provide for retaining excess flows from the site, provide for maintaining surface flow rates from the site similar to pre-construction conditions, and must not increase water flows from the project site, relocate water, or redirect water flow beyond pre-construction conditions. In addition, the activity must, to the maximum extent practicable, reduce adverse effects such as flooding or erosion downstream and upstream of the project site, unless the activity is part of a larger system designed to manage water flows.
- 9. Erosion and Siltation Controls; During construction, appropriate erosion and siltation controls must be used and maintained in effective operating'condition in accordance with State regulations. All exposed soil and other fill material must be permanently stabilized.
- 10. Suitable Material: No activity, including discharges of dredged or fill material or the placement of structures, may consist of unsuitable material, (i.e., asphalt, trash, debris, car bodies, etc.). No material discharged shall contain toxic pollutants in amounts that would violate the effluent limitation standards of § 307 of the CWA-
- 11. Temporary Fill: Temporary fill in waters and wetlands authorized by the PASPGP-3 (i.e., access roads and cofferdams) shall be properly constructed and stabilized during use to prevent erosion and accretion. Temporary fill in wetlands shall be placed on geotextile fabric laid on existing wetland grade.
Whenever possible, rubber or wooden mats should be used for equipment access through wetlands to the project area. Temporary fills shall be removed, in their entirety, to an approved upland site, and suitably contained to prevent erosion and transport to a waterway or wetland. Temporary fill areas shall be restored to their preconstruction contours, elevations, and hydrology and revegetated with comparable native species.
- 12. Equipment Working in Wetlands: Measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance when heavy equipment is used in and adjacent to wetland areas. These measures include, but are not limited to,
- -avoiding the use of such equipment, use of timber mats or geotextile fabric, :and the use of low pressure tire vehicles.
2
- 13. Installation and Maintenance: Any structure or fill authorized shall be properly installed and maintained to ensure public safety.
- 14. The Folowing Conditions Apply to Activities for the Maintenance of Existing Flood Control Projects that are authorized Pursuant to PADEP GP-11:
- a. Dredging and channel cleaning are authorized only within the. established limits of the project and only within previously constructed channels. Dredging and channel cleaning shall be limited solely to restoring.channel width and depth to design configurations as clearly described in the baseline maintenance plan.
- b. Dredging must be accomplished using bucket-type equipment when working within the channel, unless siphon-type equipment is necessary in conjunction with a separate, de-watering structure and a clean retum-water procedure is used. In no instance shall sediment be bulldozed or graded within the channel.
- c. A baseline maintenance plan shall be available on-site or at the project sponsor's office. The baseline maintenance plan consists of as-built project plans provided by PADEP or the Corps.

Dear Dick:
Pursuant to you request, checks were made for the occurrence of juvenile American shad on the intake screens of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (22 Aug-14 Oct 1983) and the Hunlock Steam Electric Station (17 Aug-14 Oct 1983). Personnel from Ichthyological Associates conducted the survey at Susquehanna and plant staff from UGI monitored their own screens at Hunlock. At both power plants, screens were washed three times daily (once per 8-hour shift). At Susquehanna, cumulative washes were checked for fish once each day, Monday through Frida7 (washes from Saturday and Sunday were included in the Monday wash). At Runlock, each wash was checked for fish while it was in progress. No junvile shad were collected at either power plant during these surveys. If you have any questions or comments, 14se contact me at your convenience. TVJ/Msh

Dear Dick:
Pursuant to our discussion on 11 September 1991, Ecology III will cancel its autumn 1991 monitoring program for impinged juvenile American shad at the Susquehanna River water intake of the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company's Susquehanna Steam Electric Station near Berwick. As you pointed out, there is very little likelihood that many of the adult shad stocked above the York Haven Dam this spring dispersed this far up river to spawn because of low river flows caused by the ongoing drought in Pennsylvania. We have rescheduled impingement monitoring for autumn 1992 in anticipation that the drought will be over by then. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at your convenience. /msh c: J. S. Fields (PP&L)

Dear Mr. Fields,
During April through mid-June this year, a total of 25,721 American shad were collected in the fish lifts at Conowingo Dam. Of these, 15,386 were transported and released above York Haven Dam at Middletown, PA with about a 92% survival rate. Most fish were taken during May. Juvenile shad collections in the vicinity of Columbia and Wrightsville in late July and August indicated successful spawning in this vicinity. Our pastanalyses of adult shad movements following release at Middletown showed only modest upstream migration, with some fish reaching Sunbury on the mainstem and Lewistown on the Juniata River. Considering the relatively advanced stage of maturation of most fish and with the peak of abundance occurring late in the season, it is doubtful that shad successfully migrated into the North Branch in 1992. For these reasons I do not believe it is necessary to sample for juvenile shad at the cooling water intakes of the Susquehanna SES at Beach Haven this fall. We appreciate your continued interest and PP&L's involvement with this program. The situation regarding likelihood of shad reproduction near your facility will be reevaluated each year. Sincerely, Richard St. Pierre Susquehanna River Coordinator

Dear Mr. Fields,
SRAFRC contractors collected about 13,400 American shad at Conowingo Dam during May 4 - June 15, 1993. Of these, about 11,400 were transported and released above all dams at Middletown, PA. Based on early season juvenile collections in the lower river, we expect that most spawning occurred in the river reach from Columbia to Harrisburg, PA. Interestingly, spawning schools were observed in the Juniata River in late June. Because of the late capture season and relatively small number of adult shad released above dams in 1993, I would not expect that substantial numbers of spawning fish migrated beyond Sunbury. Therefore, it is not necessary for PP&L to monitor intake screens at Susquehanna SES for juvenile shad this fall. If your consultants do collect any juvenile shad in the North Branch during routine surveys, I would appreciate having them frozen for otolith analysis. Sincer/ y, Richard St. Pierre Susquehanna River Coordinator

Dear Mr. Fields,
During late April through early June, 1994, about 32,300 American shad were collected at Conowingo Dam and most of these were transported to release sites at Middletown and Columbia, PA. Large numbers of shad were observed in the Juniata River, but I received no record of fish being taken near Sunbury or points further north. Also, with the inflation of the Sunbury fabridam in mid-May, few shad released below Harrisburg would have had time to reach North Branch waters before danmixnng. Considering these limitations, and the likelihood that little spawning could have occurred near PP&L's Susquehanna SES at Beach Haven, I do not recommend sampling for shad at that site this fall. Please call if we need to discuss this fiurther. Sincerely, Richard St. Pierre Susquehanna River Coordinator
