Dear Mr. Dicker:

This will confirm a report of a fish impingement incident which occurred at the Surry Power Station on January 28, *1975, as reported to Mr. Paul Leech of your staff by Mr. John White of Vepco on January 19, 1975, The newly installed fish screens at the intakes allowed an overall average of about 89% of the fish impinged during the period to return to the river alive. The attached summary data sheet shows that, on January 28, 89%

of the impinged fish survived (59,328 alive, 7,632 dead). Data for the day preceeding ~nd the day after are also presented.

This incident is not considered abnormal because threadfin shad (Dorosoma* petenense), the major species in the sample, has shown a major increase in numbers in the James River over the past three years. An introduced species, D. petenense was formerly limited in population numbers and largely confined to the major tributaries and ox-bows of the James well. upriver from Surry. Unusually mild winters over the past three years and the possible flushing effects of Hurricane Agnes have resulted in an abnormally high survival and widespread dispersal of this species in the ti da 1 James.* Co 1d winters resulting in low water tempera-tures normally serve as a population 11 check 11 for this species.

The incident is not considered to have caused a significant mortality because of the relatively large numbers of fish i~volved in

. of Q.:._ petenense (89%) is within the ra_nge experienced for this species.
