Dear Mr. Ballard:

Enclosed, herewith, are twenty-five (25) copies of the Fall, 1980, quarterly Report on the Bailly Generating Station

,~, m Nuclear-1 Ecological Monitoring Program. This is the 26th quarterly Report on this work. The Fall, 1980, quarterly Report contains analyses and interpretation of data for October through December, 1980.

Terrestrial sampling was cond'teted during the month of October.

That sampling included foliar damage analysis, small m -n1 trapping, large macr.a1 observations, avian counts along tran-sects, aquatic bird surveys and soil conductivity.

Aquatic sampling was conducted in November, 1980, and included the collection of phytoplankton, periphyton, scoplankton, benthos, ichthyoplankton, fish and water quality samples. Also included in this report were the results of the August sampling on trace elements in sediments. The general water quality para-meters cont!.nue to indicate high water quality in Lake Michigan and genera J.y in the ponds.

Fond 3 was dry during this sampling period. With the continuing progress of work in the area of sealing the existing ash set-go7 tling basins, Pond 3 which was substantially supported by seep-l age frcm the ash settling basins will no longer be influenced

' 5 by these facilities.

I O As with previous reports, there continues to be no discernible effects to the environment due to the construction of Bailly D.jI(".h)wv LS

• /c t ilet'i'3 Generating Station Nuclear-1.
