Dear Mr. Regan:

s This responds to your. May 23, 1979, request for information on the presence of Federally listed or proposed. endangered. or threatened species within the impact area of the proposed .230 acre reservoir to be operated in conjunction with the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station near Berwick, Pennsylvania.

Except for occasional transient individuals, no Federally listed or proposed species under our jurisdiction are known to exist in the project impact area. Therefore, no Biological Assessment or further Section 7 consultation is required with the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Should. project plans change, or if additional information on listed, or proposed species becomes available, this determination may be. reconsidered.

This. response relates only to endangered species under our jurisdiction.

It does not address any other FWS concern or concerns of the National Marine Sisheries Service (SMSS). As the shortnose stnrgeon ~Acf sneer brevirostrum) is under NMFS jurisdiction and may inhabit the project impact area, contact should" be made with Mr. Robert Lippson, National Marine Fisheries Service, Oxford Laboratory, Railroad Avenue, Oxford, Maryland 21654, Telephone No. (301) 226-5771.

Lists of Federally listed and proposed endangered and threatened species in P'ennsylvania are enclosed for your information. Thank you for your interest in endangered species. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.

Sincerely yours, Regional Director Enclosure 7907 Iso t7s
