FW: Pilgrim clarification question...

Joe,I got (yet another!)

question from Julie Crocker at NMFS. The first part of her question is easy-the NRC doesnot require dredging in the Pilgrim operating license.

For the second part, the NRC's SEIS states that Entergyhas no plans to dredge the intake canal (Section 4.8., page 4-75, paragraph 2), but I wanted to check with youto make sure that this is still an accurate statement before sending Julie a response.

Pilgrim clarification question...

\\( y*) (&~Hi Briana -I am working on addressing edits to our consultation letter -- the issue of dredging has come up. Could youplease clarify whether maintenance dredging of the intake canal or any other location is required as part of the1 6 113 license and whether NRC considers dredging as part of the action under consideration?
