Introduction and Background. ENIP2 owns one operating nuclear powered steam generating station (“IP2”) at the Indian Point site in the Village of Xxxxxxxx, New York, ENIP3 owns a second such station (“IP3”) at the same location, and ENOI operates both stations. IP2 and IP3, together with all activities necessary to support IP2 and IP3, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “Indian Point.” XXXX0, XXXX0, and ENOI hold current, effective facility operating licenses (“OLs”) from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) for IP2 and IP3. In 2007, ENIP2, ENIP3, and ENOI applied to the NRC for renewal of the IP2 and IP3 OLs for an additional 20 years, and they are currently engaged in proceedings before the NRC (including the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (“ASLB”)) for such renewal (the “NRC Proceedings”). The docket numbers for the NRC Proceedings are 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR. The AG and Riverkeeper, among others, have been participating in the NRC Proceedings. They have been admitted as intervenor parties and have raised procedural and substantive objections in the NRC Proceedings to the relicensing of IP2 and IP3. NYSDEC, Riverkeeper, ENIP2, and ENIP3, among other individuals and entities (including ENOI with respect to (ii) below), are parties to consolidated, mandatory adjudicatory proceedings before a panel of NYSDEC Administrative Law Judges (the “ALJs”) relating to (i) certain NYSDEC-Staff proposed modifications to the renewed State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“SPDES”) Permit for Indian Point, and (ii) NYSDEC Staff’s proposed denial of Entergy’s application for a Water Quality Certificate (“WQC”) under Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”) (the proceedings relating to (i) and (ii) collectively referred to as the “NYSDEC Matter”) for purposes of the IP2 and IP3 OL renewals. ENIP2 and ENIP3 hold a current, effective SPDES permit and WQC. ENOI, ENIP2, ENIP3, and NYSDOS have been engaged in proceedings and other actions relating to compliance by Indian Point with the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (“CZMA”), in the context of IP2 and IP3 OL renewal. The CZMA issues involving Indian Point and IP2 and IP3 OL renewal that are being or have been addressed by NYSDOS and are pending before the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York are referred to as the “CZMA Matter.” The Parties, as relevant to the particular proceedings and actions in which the...

Introduction and Background. On August 31, 2005, Pioneer Natural Resources Alaska, Inc. (Pioneer), as the designated NE Storms unit operator, filed the NE Storms Unit application (Application) with the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), on behalf of itself and the other majority working interest owner (WIO), ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (ConocoPhillips). The proposed unit is located on the North Slope, approximately 1-2 miles southwest of the Prudhoe Bay Unit (PBU). The proposed unit area covers approximately 16,456 acres within seven individual State of Alaska oil and gas leases. Approval of the proposed NE Storms Unit Agreement (Agreement) would conform and modify the lease contracts to be consistent with the Agreement, and extend the term of leases for as long as they are subject to the Agreement. Five of the leases in the proposed unit area were offered in the North Slope Areawide 2003 Oil and Gas Lease Sale, held on October 29, 2003. DNR issued oil and gas leases ADL 390472 (Tract 1), ADL 390473 (Tract 2), ADL 390492 (Tract 5), ADL 390497 (Tract 6), and ADL 390496 (Tract 7), effective May 1, 2004, on State of Alaska lease form number DOG 200204 (rev. 10/2003), which reserves a 16.66667 percent royalty to the State of Alaska. The seven-year primary lease term of these leases expires on April 30, 2011. The remaining two leases in the proposed unit area were offered in State of Alaska Lease Sale 87, held on June 24, 1998. DNR issued oil and gas leases ADL 389096 (Tract 4) and ADL 389097 (Tract 3), effective November 1, 1998, on State of Alaska lease form number DOG 9609 (rev. 6/97), which reserves a 12.50 percent royalty to the State of Alaska.

Introduction and Background. The purpose of this Wildlife Response Plan is to outline the responsibilities of the Wildlife Branch within a Unified Command structure during an oil spill, describe the procedures to be used, and identify the personnel and equipment necessary to meet wildlife protection responsibilities of the responsible party (RP) and the federal and state governments during a spill. The mission of the Wildlife Branch is to minimize the adverse impacts of oil spills and oil spill response on wildlife. The Northwest Area Wildlife Response Plan (Plan) contains: Statutory, policy, and procedural bases for Wildlife Branch operations; Activation criteria and factors to consider when developing response actions; and Organizational infrastructure for wildlife response operations. When oil spills occur, the Incident Command System (ICS) is used as the organizational structure to coordinate the response actions. The ICS organizational structure typically includes the Unified Command and the Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance Sections. The actual response organization will grow to fit the level of response necessary for a specific incident. Response actions concerning the protection, identification, rescue, processing, and rehabilitation of oiled or threatened wildlife are performed by the Wildlife Branch within the Operations Section. It is the policy of the Northwest Area Committee (NWAC) that representatives of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will assume the positions of Director and Deputy Director of the Wildlife Branch. Representatives from state fish and wildlife departments will assume these positions if designated by a USFWS representative or if a USFWS representative is not available. If there is a significant marine mammal response component to an incident, a representative from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) may be appointed to the position of Deputy Director. A USFWS representative or designee may appoint other parties, including RP representatives, to one or both of these positions at any time during an incident for such periods of time as may be deemed appropriate. Unless otherwise indicated by USFWS, the Wildlife Branch Director position will be delegated to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) for spills that occur within the legal boundaries of Washington State. The remaining positions within the Wildlife Branch will be staffed as appropriate to the incident and may include representatives of s...
