Re: Oyster Creek Biological Opinion Yes, your interpretation is correct. Sorry for the confusion - I think in one draft version those annual estimates were in the text but got deleted along the way. Thanks - and let me know if you have any additional questions.
 
I will have a draft of Salem to you tomorrow morning.
