LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION ST. LUCIE UNITS 1 & 2 2.0 SITE AND ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFACES 2.1 LOCATION AND FEATURES Florida Power & Light Company's (FPL's) St. Lucie Units 1 & 2 are located on Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County, Florida. The site is in Sections 8, 9, 15, 16, and 17, Township 36 South, Range 41 East. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates for the site's midpoint are 3025173 meters north and 574326 meters east. The nearest municipalities are Fort Pierce, approximately seven miles northwest of the plant; Port St. Lucie, approximately four and a half miles to the west; and Stuart, approximately eight miles to the south. Port St. Lucie is the largest city within 50 miles of St. Lucie Units 1 & 2. State Road AlA provides road access to the plant and transverses FPL property in a north-south direction approximately 1,000 feet east of St. Lucie Units 1 & 2 (Ref. 2.1-1, Section 2.1.1). Figures 2.1-1 and 2.1-2 show the site location and features within 50 and 6 miles, respectively.
Figure 2.1-3 shows the site boundary in relation to the powerblock and adjacent features.
The exclusion area for the plant, as defined in 10 CFR 100.3, corresponds to the area within 0.97 miles of the reactors and lies within the FPL property boundary (Ref. 2.1-1, Section 2.1.1).
The St. Lucie Units 1 & 2 site consists of approximately 1,130 acres of land on the widest section of Hutchinson Island in an area previously degraded by mosquito control projects.
The plant site is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Indian River Lagoon to the west. The topography of the site is generally flat. The most prominent topographic feature of the site is the grade for State Road AlA, which passes through the eastern portion of FPL property. Between the dunes and State Road AlA, the principal feature is a series of mangrove-dominated mosquito impoundments interspersed with islands of natural coastal strand vegetation. St. Lucie Units 1 & 2 are located on the west side of State Road AlA in a relatively flat, sheltered area of the island. West of the facility, the land gradually slopes downward to a mangrove fringe bordering the intertidal shoreline of the Indian River Lagoon. East of the facility, land rises from the ocean shore to form dunes and ridges approximately 15 feet above mean low water (Ref. 2.1-2, Section 2.1). Two county parks with beach access, Blind Creek Pass Park and Walton Rocks Park, lie within the St. Lucie Units 1 & 2's property boundary. Recreational facilities for FPL employees and their families are also available within the site's property boundary (Ref. 2.1-1, Section 2.1.1).
The Indian River Lagoon is a long, shallow, tidally influenced estuary stretching along Florida's central east coast between the mainland and a series of offshore islands. At St.
Lucie Units 1 & 2, the Indian River Lagoon is approximately 7,200 feet wide (Ref. 2.1-3, Section Il-A). Blind Creek and Big Mud Creek, inlets off the Indian River Lagoon, are adjacent to the site. The stretch of lagoon adjacent to the site is designated as the Jensen Beach to Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve. The North Fork St. Lucie River Aquatic Preserve is located on the north fork of the river as it parallels the coast north of where it flows into the St. Lucie River at Port St. Lucie. The St. Lucie Canal connects the St. Lucie River with Lake Okeechobee and parallels State Route 76, south of Stuart.
