Draft Environmental Statement-Byron Station, Units 1 and 2 M,_ /, '?/

Dear Mr. Youngblood:

After review of the subject DES, it appears that this project will have a minimal impact on the woodland environment, since only about 40 acres of forested land has or will be impacted by power plant or transmission line construction.

One item of particular interest is the development of a land management plan for the site and we feel such a clan should provide a good means for documenting actions to mitigate any adverse impacts and to enhance the environment. We are confident that the various Divisions of the Illinois Department of Conservation will be able to make substantive cotraents on this plan.

On page 5-1, in the last paragraph, the last sentence states, "..., some low quality agricultural land will be removed from production and allowed to revert to a natural state.a We would recommend that some estimate be included on the amount of land that is involved and that the statement, " allowed to revert to a natural state," be modified to indicate some form of management will be applied to this land, i.e. wildlife habitat, woodland.

We appreciate the opportunity to review this document and hope our comments will prove helpful in developing the Final Environmental Statement.

Sincerely,

'l'/l _ f Ol U~/ f
