Attachment I Attach a specific description of the damage or other interests harmed over the past year, an estimate of the economic loss suffered as a result, and an estimate of the number of each species involved. [Item 1f:
Damage primarily results fro bird defecation on safety related and similar equipment, such as motors, emergency water reservoirs, piping, card readers, walkways, and stairways, electrical wiring, and cable trays. Also, the increased frequency of visits by employees and security personnel to various areas of this facility resulting from changes implemented since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have increased exposure to bird mites and other potential health effects.
The primary species involved are:
Barn Swallows [Hirundo rustica]
Cliff Swallows [Petrochelidon pyrrhonta1 Swallow nests occur at varying location and include colonies varying from a few nests to hundreds of nests, depending upon the particular locations.
The actual damage costs to plant equipment have not been determined at this time. In 2007 the cost for implementing non-lethal control techniques were approximately
$23,000. These techniques include the cleaning, painting, and periodic maintenance of equipment and facility areas subject to debris deposition, defecation, and other damage by birds.
Attach a description on non-lethal control techniques you have used to alleviate of eliminate the problem over the past year, including how long and how often they have been conducted. [Item 21:
Grand Gulf Nuclear Station began implementing non-lethal control techniques in 1994.
These include the removal of abandoned nests after the migration is begun and cleaning the nest sites to remove residuals that encourage nesting the following season. Many of these nest sites are also painted to discourage nest rebuilding the next year. In addition, we utilize other non-lethal control techniques such as the periodic relocation of fake predators such as owls netting, plastic door coverings, noise makers, and wire barricades.
In 2007, several areas were pressure washed and painted to control bird activities. These areas included the Standby Service Water Basins, the Radial Wells, the Radial Well Switchgear House and the Administration Building.
