[Item 1]:Damage primarily results from bird defecation on safety related and similar equipment,such as motors, emergency water reservoirs, piping, card readers, walkways, andstairways, electrical wiring, and cable trays. Also, the increased frequency of visits byemployees and security personnel to various areas of this facility resulting from changesimplemented since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have increased exposure tobird mites and other potential health effects.The primary species involved are:Barn Swallows [Hirundo rustica]Cliff Swallows [Petrochelidon pyrrho

nota]Swallow nests occur at varying loc
nota]Swallow nests occur at varying locations and include colonies varying from a few neststo hundreds of nests, depending upon the particular locations.The actual damage costs to plant equipment have not been determined at this time. The2006 costs for implementing non-lethal control techniques were approximately $12,740.These techniques include the cleaning, painting, and periodic maintenance of equipmentand facility areas subject to debris deposition, defecation, and other damage by birds.Attach a description on non-lethal control techniques you have used to alleviate oreliminate the problem over the past year, including how long and how often theyhave been conducted. [Item 21:Grand Gulf Nuclear Station began implementing non-lethal control techniques in 1994.These include the removal of abandoned nests after the migration is begun and cleaningthe nest sites to remove residuals that encourage nesting the following season. Many ofthese nest sites area also painted to discourage nest rebuilding the next year. In addition,we utilize other non-lethal control techniques such as the periodic relocation of fakepredators such as owls, netting, plastic door coverings, noise makers, and wire barricades.In 2006, several areas were pressure washed and painted to control bird activities. Theseareas included the Emergency Diesel Generator Building, the Control Building, theStandby Service Water Basins, and the Administration Building. These non-lethalcontrol techniques are also scheduled to be used in 2007 for control of bird migrationactiviti
