Sea Turtle Incidental Take Reports 2008-1 and 2008-2 This report provides detailed information regarding the recent incidental takes of two juvenile Kemp's ridley sea turtles at Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station on two separate occasions.
The turtles were taken alive on June 27 and July 7, 2008, from the circulating water intake bays.As indicated on the attached incident reports, the turtles were promptly turned over to the custody of the Brigantine Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) for examination and tagging. Both animals were active with no major injuries.If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Malcolm Browne at (609) 971-4124.Sincerely, Ja sadc Plant Manager, Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station

The water temperature at the time of the incidental take was approximately 78 degrees F (25.6 C) and OCNGS was in operation at 100% power with four circulating water pumps and two dilution pumps in operation.
Skies were cloudy.The turtle appeared to be healthy and was very active. OCNGS Environmental personnel who took custody of the turtle confirmed it to be a juvenile Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kemDi). Although it is impossible to say precisely how long the turtle had been on the trash bars prior to removal, the circulating water trash racks had been inspected and cleaned earlier the same morning. The turtle was not observed during that trash rack inspection and cleaning.The turtle measured only 21.7 cm carapace length straight line and weighed 3.4 lb. No tags were present on the turtle when captured.
USNRC and NMFS personnel were notified of the incidental take within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.The turtle was handed over to personnel from the Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) in Brigantine, NJ at approximately 0515 hours0.00596 days <br />0.143 hours <br />8.515212e-4 weeks <br />1.959575e-4 months <br /> on June 27, 2008. At the MMSC, the turtle was examined, measured, fed, and tagged. MMSC personnel reported that the animal was very active and suffered no major injuries.
Only minor bruising was present on plastron and ventral surfaces of its flippers.
The animal began eating immediately upon arrival at MMSC. At the time of this report, the turtle is still being held at the MMSC until arrangements for its release are finalized.
