Dear George -  ;

Ret North Anna Power Station

• , _As I discussed. with you by telephone, the settlement offor  ;

described in your letter of April 10, 1992 is. acceptable to Virginia Power. Regarding the three elements of the proposal which you considered to be -essential, one has been completad and the -

other two are in progress.

Item -3 of your proposal, the employee - environmental awareness video, has been awarded to Echo Films, _Inc. and'the script is being written.

Item 4, the -customer Connection article, was published and distributed-in our_May billing cycle to 1.8 million customers and is expected to.have exposure to 4.8 million pecsple.

A few extra copies are enclosed for your use.-

e Item 5, the public service video, has been completed with the USFWS logo. Thirty copies - are available for The Service. As we discussed, and you requested, the television programming package on stations WUSA,: WTVR, and WVEC will be handled by our Corporate Communications department.

While not censidered by you as part of the settlement proposal,_I want to let you_know that the site barriers to nesting, consisting of expanded metal' screen doors and covers have been constructed to cover ' the entrances- to the _ - security blockhouse, the - auxiliary feedwater pump houses and associated exhaust fans. These barriers

. wore insta?. led at a cost of $20,506.

-- Also, the .wlternate nest structures were completed for approximate)y $1,000. .

t Mr. N. G. Metcalf Jul'y 23, 1992 Page 2 In summary, implementation of the three conponents of your settlement proposal, the site barriers, and the alternate nest structures will require a total expenditure by Virginia Power of i approx 1'rately $80,000. ,

l on behalf of the company, I can assure you that protection of )

migratory birds is a consideration in routine operations. I can i cite several recent instances where field crews have altered work l plans or delayed actions in deference to active nests. Our '

environmental awareness video is being designed so that all  !

emninyees having potential for interaction with nest sites or i migratory birds will understand their obligations under the applicable laws.

Please let me know what is nocessary to conclude this matter.

Also, I need to know whether to contact you or Al Hundley about

, progress with the PSA programming.

,. Sincerely, c-B. M. Marshall, P.E. .
