SUBJECT:

Consistency Concurrence for Nuclear Plant License Renewal with the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Dear Mr. Emch:

The Division of Coastal Management received (Oct. 20, 2004) from Progress Energy (Carolina Power & Light Company) a consistency certification that the proposed license renewal from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to authorize continued operation of Units 1 and 2 of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant is consistent with the enforceable polices of North Carolina's coastal management program. Additionally Progress Energy has certified that it will conduct its activities consistent with the enforceable policies of North Carolina's coastal management program. To support this certification, Progress Energy submitted an environmental report evaluating the impacts of the proposed license renewal on the environment and with the State's coastal program. According to the environmental assessment, the continued operation of Units I and 2 will not have any new or previously unevaluated environmental effects that would adversely affect consistency with the State's coastal program since the proposed action will be a license renewal to authorize continuation of the existing operation.

To solicit public comments, Division of Coastal Management (DCM) published a public notice in the Bnmisi'ickBeaconi" on October 28, 2004 and circulated a description of the proposed project to State agencies that would have a regulatory interest in the proposed development. No comments asserting that the proposed license renewal would be inconsistent with the State's coastal program were received. Comments received have been attached to this letter.

The Division of Coastal Management has reviewed the submitted information pursuant to Title ISA of Chapter 7 of North Carolina's Administrative Code and concurs with the applicant's consistency certification that the proposed license renewal is consistent and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the enforceable policies of North Carolina's coastal management program.

Should the project be modified, a revised consistency certification could be necessary. This might take the form of either a supplemental consistency certification pursuant to 15 CFR 930.66, or a new consistency certification pursuant to 15 CFR 930.57. Likewise, should additional project assessments disclose environmental impacts not previously considered, a supplemental consistency certification might be required. If you have any questions, please contact Stephen Rynas at 252-808-2808. Thank you for your consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.

Sincerely, Doug Huggett Manager, Major Permits and Consistency Unit cc:

LOCATION:

Proposed NRC License Renewal of Units 1 and 2 of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Progress Energy Cape Fear Area, Brunswick County Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. Based on the consistency determination, the proposed action does not appear to include direct impacts to coastal wetlands.

I particularly appreciate Progress Energy's efforts to mange transmission corridors for wildlife habitat and to work with the NC Natural Heritage Program to relocate threatened and endangered species found in the transmission corridors. This benefits adjacent ecological communities, including wetlands, by minimizing the impact of the corridors.on wildlife movement. Overall, this project appears to be consistent with the goals of CAMA with regards tu coasial vetlands.
