Sole 0 I Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400 Secretary-Designee January 12, 2007 BY CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Ms. Jill Watson Power Generation Division Florida Power & Light Company Post Office Box 14000 Juno Beach, Florida 33408-0420 RE: Florida Power & Light Company Turkey Point Power Plant, Dade County NPDES Permit No. FL000 1562 Approval of Minor Revision for Inclusion of New Electric Generating Unit (Unit 5)

Dear Ms. Watson:

On May 30, 2006, the Department received a minor permit revision application for the Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) Turkey Point power plant. The proposed permit modification is to authorize the discharge of wastewater streams from the new combined cycle electrical generation unit (Unit 5) at the facility into the existing closed-loop cooling canal system. After review of the application, the Department has determined that the proposed modification to permit number FL0001562 does not substantially change the characteristic of the effluent or increase the potential for adverse impact on the aquatic system. Because the proposed modification is not expected to result in any water quality degradation, the permit is hereby modified pursuant to Rules62-620.200(24),62-620.200(25), and 62-620.325(2), Florida Administrative Code. Note, this letter does not alter the May 5, 2010 expiration date, other Specific or General Conditions, or monitoring requirements of the permit.

This letter and accompanying revised permit pages must be attached to the original permit.

The permit is modified as stated in the attached revised permit pages unless FPL. decides to file a timely, sufficient petition for an administrative hearing under Section 120.57, Florida Statutes. The procedures for petitioning for a hearing are set forth in the attachment titled "Notice of Rights." If you have any questions regarding this permit revision, please contact Marc Harris, P.E., in the Industrial Wastewater Section at (850) 245-8589.

This permit is issued under the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and applicable rules of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and constitutes authorization to discharge to waters of the state under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The above named permittee is hereby authorized to operate the facilities shown on the application and other documents attached hereto or on file with the Department and made a part hereof and specifically described as follows:

The facility consists of-feui- Ngvsteam-electrical generating units: Two fossil fuel oil/natural eas-fired units (Units l&2)j-and two nuclear units (Units 3&4) and one combined cycle unit (Unit 5). Units 1&2 each have a eeitinuous generating eapabalaitycaRacit of 404 megawatts (MW), akld-Units 3&4 each have a eontiuonus-generating Gapabiliyaýýcit of 693 MW and Unit 5 has a zenerating capacityof/150 megawatts (MW).

WASTEWATER TREATMENT:

Wastewater from the Turkey Point facility consists of a-non-contact once-through condenser cooling water (OTCW),

auxiliary equipment cooling water (AECW), cooling tower blowdown. low-volume waste (LVW), and stormwater.

LVW consists of chemical treatment system wastewater, boiler blowdown, heat recovery steam generator blowdown,_reverse osmosis concentrate, condensate polishing system backwash water, and other process wastestreams. Stormwater includes stormwater associated with industrial activity and stormwater not associated with industrial activity.

OTCW, an4-AECW and cooling tower blowdown discharge to the facility's approximately 6,700 acre onsite closed loop cooling canal system. LVW, equipment area stormwater, and non-equipment area stormwater/drainage discharge either directly to the onsite closed loop cooling canal system or indirectly to the same system via solids settling basins and/or neutralization basin. The cooling canal system is not lined, and therefore, discharges to Class G-111 groundwater. The cooling canal system does not discharge to surface waters of the state.

FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 2600 BLAIR STONE ROAD TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 32399-2400 STATEMENT OF BASIS FOR REVISION TO INCLUDE UNIT 5 Permit Number: FLOO01562 Application Date: May 16, 2006 Permit Writer: Bala Nori Additional Information: August 8, 2006 Application No: FLOO01562-006-IWB/MR

1. SYNOPSIS OF APPLICATION A. Name and Address of Applicant Florida Power & Light Company Post Office Box 14000 Juno Beach, Florida 33408-0420 For:

Turkey Point Power Plant 9760 S.W. 344 Street Florida City, Florida 33035 B. Description of Proposed Activity:

The Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) submitted a minor revision application dated May 16, 2006 for wastewater permit number FL001562. The proposed permit modification is to authorize the discharge of wastewater streams from the new combined cycle electric generation unit (Unit 5) at Turkey Point Power Plant. On June 23, 2006, the Department requested additional information from FPL in order to process the application. The Department received FPL's response on August 8. Unit 5 is currently under construction. FPL filed a Site Certification application for Unit 5 with the Department in November 2003. The final Order of Certification was signed in February 2005.

All industrial wastewater generated from the operation and maintenance of Unit 5 is to be discharged to the existing cooling canal system, which does not discharge to surface waters of the State. Non-equipment storm water associated with Unit 5 will be collected and routed to three of the existing storm water detention ponds. Storm water detention pond 1 will flow into the natural environment directly west of the pond. Non-equipment area storm water collected in detention pond 3 will overflow into detention pond 2 and will be discharged through existing internal outfall 1-001 to the cooling canal system, As a result, no new or expanded wastewater discharges to surface waters of the State are proposed for Unit 5.

The high-purity make-up water for the Unit 5 heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) will be produced through a reverse osmosis and demineralization system. The Department has authorized the use of chemical additives to further treat the HIRSG make-up water for controlling pH, corrosion

and scale formation. These additives include hydrazine, an oxygen scavenger; ammonia or an amine; sodium hydroxide; and Optisperse HP 4930, a phosphate containing chemical.

The reject water and backwash from the reverse osmosis and demineralization system will be discharged through internal outfall 1-001 to the existing cooling canal system. The Department has authorized the use of the following antifouling and cleaning chemicals for the reverse osmosis membranes: Betz

Dearborn DCL 30,

Hypersperse MDC120, Kleen MCT103, Kleen MCT51 1, ROClean L212, ROClean L403, ROClean P111 and ROClean L811 or an equivalent product.

Make-up water for the cooling tower will be supplied from Floridan Aquifer wells. The cooling tower blowdown will be discharged through internal outfall 1-001 to the existing cooling canal system. The Department has authorized the use of the following chemical products to control pH, corrosion, fouling and foaming in the cooling tower: sulfuric acid; Inhibitor AZ8101; Inhibitor OP8413; Continuum AEC3145; Corrshield MD 4100; biocides, such as Spectrus CT1300 and sodium hypochlorite; and Foamtrol AF2290, an antifoaming agent.

After review of the application, the Department's Toxicity Coordinator decided that toxicity testing is not warranted since the cooling canal system does not discharge to surface waters of the State.

C. Revisions to the Permit:

The description of plant operationsand treatment facilities provided on the cover page and pages 2 and 3 of the permit have been revised to incorporate operation activities associated with Unit 5. In addition, page 6 of the permit was revised to authorize the discharge of Continuum AEC3145, Inhibitor AZ8101, Inhibitor OP8413, sulfuric acid, sodium hypochlorite, Foamtrol AF2290 and biocides such as Spectrus CT1300 or an equivalent product from the use of the cooling tower. Also chemicals used in the water treatment systems including soda ash, polymer, hydrated lime, Kleen MCT5 11, Betz

Dearborn DCL30,

Hypersperse MDC 120 and Kleen MCT 103, and products that may be used to clean the RO membranes including ROClean L212, ROClean L403, ROClean PIll and ROClean L811 or an equivalent product.

This constitutes Revision A (Rev. A) to the permit. All changes to the permit are noted in Rev. A by underline or strike-through, with a margin bar indicating lines where changes have been made for this revision.
