Dear Mr. Densmore:

In mid-201 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon Generation; a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation) plans to apply to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for renewal of the operating licenses for Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (LGS). The existing license for Unit 1 will expire on October 26, 2024 and the existing license for Unit 2 will expire on June 22,2029. The renewal term for each unit would be an additional twenty years beyond the existing license expiration date.

The NRC requires that license renewal applications include environmental reports assessing potential environmental impacts from license renewal activities. One such impact would be effects of license renewal activities on threatened and endangered species that are listed or proposed for listing in accordance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (16 USC 1531, et seq.) (10 CFR 51.53(~)(3)(ii)(E)).

Accordingly, we are contacting you to obtain input for use in addressing these effects in the LGS license renewal environmental report. Later, NRC may also request an informal consultation with your office under Section 7 of the ESA (1 6 USC 1536(a)). Project Features LGS existing features that are relevant to the effects of license renewal on threatened and endangered species include the following:

1. The LGS plant site, which hosts the two generating units, is located on Exelon Generation-owned properties that are mostly situated in Limerick Township, Montgomery County, but some of which are in the adjacent Lower Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County or directly across the Schuylkill River in East Coventry Township, Chester County.

Mr. David Densmore January 19,201 1 Page 2 of 4 2. The LGS makeup water supply system, which conveys water from approved sources to LGS for use in its circulating water system, is composed of the following components:

o The Perkiomen Pumphouse, located in Graterford Township, Montgomery County, and an associated underground 7.6-mile long Perkiomen Pumphouse-to- LGS pipeline; both are located along an easement held by Exelon Generation within an electrical transmission line right-of-way (ROW) controlled by PECO, a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation; o The Bradshaw Reservoir and Bradshaw Pumphouse, which are both situated in Plumstead Township, Bucks County, on Exelon Generation-owned properties totaling 42 acres; o The Bedminster Water Processing (Treatment) Facility, which is situated in Bedminster Township, Bucks County, on a 3-acre Exelon Generation-owned property; and o An underground water transmission main, which is routed within a natural gas pipeline ROW along an easement held by Exelon Generation that runs from the Bradshaw Pumphouse to the East Branch Perkiomen Creek by way of the Bedminster Facility. The buried Perkiomen Pumphouse-to-LGS water pipeline and the underground water transmission main are located below ground within ROWs that exist for other purposes, and their operation requires no independent vegetation management or ground disturbing activities along these ROWs. Hence, these underground components of the makeup water supply system are assumed to have no effects on threatened and endangered plant species.

3. The LGS transmission system is composed of the following components:

o TWO electrical transmission lines constructed to connect the LGS main power transformers with two onsite electrical substations (these components are located on the LGS plant site);

and o Four 230-kilovolt (kV) and one 500-kV electrical transmission lines, with associated structures and offsite electrical substations, constructed to connect the onsite electrical substations to the regional electricity grid.

All offsite substations and transmission lines are operated by PECO and are located in ROWs situated in Montgomery and Chester Counties either on PECO-owned properties or on properties for which PECO holds permits, grants, easements, or licenses.

Onsite transmission lines traverse only land disturbed during initial station construction. Figures 1 through 9 showing the locations of the existing LGS project features are provided in Attachment

3.

Mr. David Densmore January 19,201 1 Page 3 of 4 Activities During the License Renewal Terms LGS license renewal will involve no new construction, refurbishment, ground disturbing activities, changes to operations, or changes to existing land-use conditions. Operation and maintenance activities during the terms of the renewed LGS licenses are only expected to occur in previously disturbed areas or existing ROWs. Hence, no new adverse impacts to threatened and endangered species are anticipated from license renewal.

Identification of Threatened and Endangered Species Resources Using the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI), Environmental Review Tool, a web- based application sponsored by the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program (PNHP), Exelon generation has reviewed the potential for the LGS plant site area and the properties associated with the LGS makeup water supply system to adversely affect known occurrences of species or natural communities of concern. Receipts for PNDl search

  1. s 20100421240174 (LGS plant site), 201 004212401 63 (Perkiomen Pumphouse area), 201 00406237563 (Bradshaw Reservoir and Pumphouse area), and 20100407237630 (Bedminster Water Processing Facility area) are attached (Attachment 1). The receipts indicate that no impacts to federally listed or proposed species and/or special concern species or resources within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USWS) will occur at the four project areas. Given the sizable acreage and distances associated with the LGS transmission line corridors, no PNDl searches were conducted for this project component. For review by your office in identifying species of concern, we instead offer the figures in Attachment 3 showing the routes and widths of the corridors. A review of the PNHP web site for state-listed endangered and threatened species indicates that several state-listed species could occur in Montgomery, Chester, and Bucks Counties and that these are also federally-listed or proposed species. Attachment 2 contains a list of these species. Exelon Generation is not aware that these have ever been observed on or near the properties associated with LGS or its associated transmission lines. Also, Exelon Generation and PECO adhere to regulatory requirements regarding sensitive areas that could contain listed threatened and endangered species and work closely with your office to protect these resources. Because license renewal involves no new construction, refurbishment, ground disturbing activities, changes to operation, or changes to existing land use conditions, Exelon Generation does not expect LGS license renewal to adversely affect federally threatened and endangered species located near the LGS plant site, makeup water supply system, or transmission system ROWs. Nevertheless, we are requesting your help to identify issues we may have overlooked that need to be addressed in the LGS license renewal environmental report.

We are also interested in learning of any information your staff believes could help expedite the NRC's review of the LGS license renewal application. Hence, in closing, we would appreciate receiving a response from you detailing such issues and information for the LGS plant site, makeup water supply system and transmission system.

We would also welcome your confirmation of our conclusion that LGS license renewal would not adversely affect threatened and endangered species.

Mr. David Densmore January 19, 201 1 Page 4 of 4 Because we plan to incorporate a copy of your response, as well as this letter, into the LGS license renewal environmental report that will be submitted to the NRC as part of the LGS license renewal application, your response will be most helpful if we receive it by March 10, 2011. Please call Nancy Ranek (610-765-5369), our License Renewal Environmental Lead, if there are questions or you require additional information.

Sincerely, Michael P. Gallagher
