Environment
Nine Mile Point keeps more than half of its 900 acres, much of which is environmentally rich wetlands, in its natural state, allowing vegetation and wildlife to thrive. Deer, fox, turkey, rabbit, and raccoon feed and reproduce in undisturbed habitats on the site.
The plant is also the first nuclear power facility in the U.S. to be certified for meeting the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) voluntary environmental management systems standard. This certification is a clear indication that Nine Mile Point has taken a leadership position in the environmental area. The station has maintained certification for more than 10 years.
