Re: Davis Besse operating license renewal

Briana, For the tower lights if it possible these should either be eliminated or set so that if they blink they are off more than on. The longest time off possible would be the most beneficial. For lights within the complex they should be down-shielded or set on motion detectors so they are not on continuously. I am going to check and see if there is any sort of timeframe for the evaluation of the red knot and that will help us determine how to proceed.

Briana, I need to talk with one of our biologist who does most of the bird work. I know that having the lights on continuous instead of flashing does help reduce bird collisions and by the information you included these collisions have been reduced. After I find out if there are any other avoidance or minimization measures I will give you a call so we can discuss this further. It will probably be next week. As I will be in the field most of the rest of this week.

Hi Jenny, Per your request, I have attached an assessment for the proposed long-eared bat. In the course of considering the bat, I also identified another proposed speciesthe red knotthat occurs in the action area. Both species are considered in the attached assessment.

As you will see, I concluded not likely to adversely affect for the long-eared bat, but may affect for the red knot due to the potential for collision with plant structures. Given the may affect conclusion and the fact that the red knot is a proposed species at this time, I am not sure what the appropriate path forward will be. Maybe we can talk after you read the assessment? Thanks, Briana
