I don't have reports for any of the deaths you found, but I do have 3 other that I am unsure of causality. The one for June 28, 2018 sounds like it may have been plant operation related. I only mostly only have records from 2014 on, but I don't have the July 28, 2016 death for some reason. I've attached the reports I found.

Hi Lindsay, Thanks again for making time to discuss the Turkey Point Biological Assessment this morning. As I mentioned over the phone, the NRC is aware of six instances where FPL operations resulted in a causal take of an American crocodile, including the following:

• December 21, 2005 (ML060860052)

• May 27, 2006 (ML061800100)

• September 25, 2008 (ML093100554)

• November 18, 2011 (ML123390437)

• September 12, 2012 (ML12263A251)

• July 28, 2016 (ML16214A285)

Could you please let me know if FWS is aware of any additional causal takes? Also, here is a link to the report I mentioned about the eastern indigo snake: ML093100520 Thanks, Michelle 1
