Dear Mr. Doub -

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed your correspondence, dated March 4, 2022, regarding the proposed construction of a nuclear reactor at the Heritage Center Site in Roane County.

Undeveloped areas adjacent to this proposed project area provide significant summer roosting habitats for the federally endangered Indiana bat and threatened Northern long-eared bat. The general project area has significant karst features which support the federally endangered Gray bat and the Heritage Center is adjacent to the Black Oak Ridge Conservation Easement.

There have been numerous protected species surveys on this site. You should prepare a Biological Evaluation (BE) for the proposed project and include it in the draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). We will provide a thorough review of the DEIS and BE when completed. This information should include all necessary site infrastructure requirements including source(s) of electricity and water needed to facilitate its construction and operation. Please forward further project information to the Service to my attention.
