Powerline Street Crystal River, FL 34428 The Department received a minor revision application from Florida Power dated June 21, 2002, requesting a reduction in monitoring frequency for Oil and Grease, Total Suspended Solids (at sampling Point EFF-7B) discharged to waters of State via outfall D-OF under the referenced permit.

The Department approves the reduction in monitoring frequency of Oil &Grease, Total Suspended Solids based on the application and on information provided by the applicant in response to the Department's request for additional information as follows:

1) The facility provided monitoring data for the period from 1/1/99 to 5/3/02 for Oil & Grease, and Total Suspended Solids,which are summarized as follows:

For Oil and Grease:

Average concentration in the Evaporator Condensate Storage Tank(ECST) prior to release into service water :3.8mg/1 For Total Suspended Solids:

Average concentration in the ESCT prior to release into service water: 1.0mg/I Frequency of discharge from ECST to the service water system is once every 2.3 days or approximately 3 discharges each week.

2) Based on the guidance memorandum provided by EPA titled "Interim Guidance for Performance Based Reduction of NPDES Permit Monitoring Frequencies", and dated April 19, 1996 the frequency of monitoring for Oil & Grease, Total Suspended Solids has been reduced from 1/Day of Discharge to 1/Week. The guidance memorandum indicates the ratio of long term average to monthly average is less than 25 percent, the monitoring frequency can be reduced from 3/week to 1/week for Oil and Grease, Total suspended Solids.
