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. This permit does not constitute authorization to discharge wastewater other than as expressly stated in this permit. This permit is accompanied by an Administrative Order, pursuant to paragraphs 403.088(2)(e) and (f),

Florida Statutes. Compliance with Administrative Order, AO022TL is a specific requirement of this permit. The above named permittee is hereby authorized to operate the facilities in accordance with the documents attached hereto and specifically described as follows:

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:

The facility is an electric generating plant with a total nameplate rating of 1908 megawatts. The facility consists of two nuclear powered steam electric generating units (Unit I and Unit 2).

Units 1 and 2 use water from the Atlantic Ocean, a Class III marine water body, to remove heat from the main condensers via the once-through cooling water (OTCW) and auxiliary equipment cooling water (AECW) systems. Cooling water gravity flows from the Atlantic Ocean through three offshore intake structures into the intake canal. The water is then pumped through the main condensers for each unit. Heated cooling water is released to the discharge canal and back to the Atlantic Ocean through existing offshore Y and multi-port diffusers.

Units 1 and 2 are also regulated under the Florida Electrical Power Plant Siting Act (License No. PA74-02).

The radioactive component of the discharge is regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission under the Atomic Energy Act, and not by the Department or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Water Act.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT:

Facility discharge and treatment include the following. Once-through non-contact condenser cooling water (OTCW) and auxiliary equipment cooling water (AECW) are chlorinated. Low volume waste (LVW) (consisting of water treatment system wastewater, steam generator/boiler blowdown, and equipment area floor drainage), non-radioactive wastes/liquid radiation waste, and stormwater associated with industrial activity are treated by chemical/physical processes including neutralization, settling, ion exchange and micro filtration. Non-industrial stormwater and intake screen wash water are discharged without treatment.

FACILITY: St. Lucie PowiriPlant. ; EXPIRATION DATE: September 28, 2016

d. Test Requirements (1) Routine Tests: All routine tests shall be conducted using a control (0% effluent) and a minimum of five test dilutions: 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, and 6.25% final effluent.

(2) The permittee shall conduct 7-day survival and growth chronic toxicity tests with a mysid shrimp, Americamysis (Mysidopsis) bahia, Method 1007.0, and an inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, Method 1006.0, concurrently.

(3) All test species, procedures and quality assurance criteria used shall be in accordance with Short-term Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Marine and Estuarine Organisms, 3rd Edition, EPA-821-R-02-014. Any deviation of the bioassay procedures outlined herein shall be submitted in writing to the Department for review andapproval prior to use. In the event the above method is revised, the permittee shall conduct chronic toxicity testing in accordance with the revised method.

(4) The control water and dilution water used shall be artificial sea salts as described in EPA-821-R 014, Section 7.2. The test salinity shall be determined as follows:

(a) For the Americamysis bahia bioassays, the effluent shall be adjusted to a salinity of 20 parts per thousand (ppt) with artificial sea salts. The salinity of the control/dilution water (0% effluent) shall be 20 ppt. If the salinity of the effluent is greater than 20 ppt, no salinity adjustment shall be made to the effluent and the test shall be run at the effluent salinity. The salinity of the control/dilution water shall match the salinity of the effluent.

(b) For the Menidia beryllina bioassays, if the effluent salinity is less than 5ppt, the salinity shall be adjusted to 5 ppt with artificial sea salts. The salinity of the control/dilution water (0% effluent) shall be 5 ppt. If the salinity of the effluent~is greater than 5 ppt, no salinity adjustment shall be made to the effluent and the test shall be run at the effluent salinity. The salinity of the control/dilution water shall match the salinity of the effluent.

(c) If the salinity of the effluent requires adjustment, a salinity adjustment control should be prepared and included with each bioassay. The salinity adjustment control is intended to identify toxicity resulting from adjusting the effluent salinity with artificial sea salts. To prepare the salinity adjustment control, dilute the control/dilution water to the salinity of the effluent and adjust the salinity of the salinity adjustment control at the same time and to the same salinity that the salinity of the effluent is adjusted using the same artificial sea salts.

e. Quality Assurance Requirements (1) A standard reference toxicant (SRT) quality assurance (QA) chronic toxicity test shall be conducted with each species used in the required toxicity tests either concurrently or initiated no more than 30 days before the date of each routine or additional follow-up test conducted. Additionally, the SRT test must be conducted concurrently if the test organisms are obtained from outside the test laboratory unless the test organism supplier provides control chart data from at least the last five monthly chronic toxicity tests using the same reference toxicant and test conditions. If the organism supplier provides the required SRT data, the organism supplier's SRT data and the test laboratory's monthly SRT-QA data shall be included in the reports for each companion routine or additional follow-up test required.

(2) If the mortality in the control (0% effluent) exceeds 20% for either species in any test or any test does not meet "test acceptability criteria", the test for that species (including the control) shall be invalidated and the test repeated. Test acceptability criteria for each species are defined in EPA-821-R-02-014, Section 14.12 (Americamysis bahia) and Section 13.12 (Menidia beryllina). The repeat test shall begin within 21 days after the last day of the invalid test.

(3) If 100% mortality occurs in all effluent concentrations for either species prior to the end of any test and the control mortality is less than 20% at that time, the test (including the control) for that species shall be terminated with the conclusion that the test fails and constitutes non-compliance.

(4) Routine and additional follow-up tests shall be evaluated for acceptability based on the observed dose-response relationship as required by EPA-82 l-R-02-014, Section 10.2.6., and the evaluation shall be included with the bioassay laboratory reports.

f. Reporting Requirements (1) Results from all required tests shall be reported on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) as follows:

(a) Routine and Additional Follow-up Test Results: The calculated IC25 for each test species shall be entered on the DMR.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE WASTEWATER DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT Read these instructions before completing the DMR. Hard copies and/or electronic copies of the required parts of the DMR were provided with the permit. All required information shall be completed in full and typed or printed in ink. A signed, original DMR shall be mailed to the address printed on the DMR by the 28"h of the month following the monitoring period. The DMR shall not be submitted before the end ofthe monitoring period.

The DMR consists of three parts--A, B, and D--all of which may or may not be applicable to every facility. Facilities may have one or more Part A's fir reporting effluent or reclaimed water data. All domestic wastewater facilities will have a Part B for reporting daily sample results. Part D is used for reporting ground water monitoring well data.

When results are not available, the following codes should be used on parts A and D of the DMR and an explanation provided where appropriate. Note: Codes used on Part B for raw data are different.

CODE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS CODE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS ANC Analysis not conducted. NOD No discharge from/to site.

DRY Dry Well OPS Operations were shutdown so no sample could be taken.

FLD Flood disaster. OTH Other. Please enter an explanation of why monitoring data were not available.

IFS Insufficient flow for sampling. SEF Sampling equipment failure.

LS Lost sample.

MNR Monitoring not required this period.

When reporting analytical results that fall below a laboratory's reported method detection limits or practical quantification limits, the following instructions should be used:

I. Results greater than or equal to the PQL shall be reported as the measured quantity.

2. Results less than the PQL and greater than or equal to the MDL shall be reported as the laboratory's MDL value. These values shall be detned equal to the MDL when necessary to calculate an average for that parameter and when determining compliance with permit limits.

3. Results less than the MDL shall be reportedby entering a less than sign ("<") followed by the laboratory's MDL value, e.g. < 0.001. A value of one-half the MDL or one-half the effluent limit, whichever is lower, shall be used for that sample when necessary to calculate an average for that parameter. Values less than the MDL are considered to demonstrate compliance with an effluent limitation.

PART A -DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT (DMR)

Part A of the DMR is comprised of one or more sections, each having its own header information. Facility information is preprinted in the header as well as the monitoring group number, whether the limits and monitoring requirements are interim or final, and the required submittal frequency (e.g. monthly, annually, quarterly, etc.). Submit Part A based on the required reporting frequency in the header and the instructions shown in the permit. The following should be completed by the permittee or authorized representative:

Resubmitted DMR: Check this box if this DMR is being re-submitted because there was information missing from or information that needed correction on a previously submitted DMR. The information that is being revised should be clearly noted on the re-submitted DMR (e.g. highlight, circle, etc.)

No Discharge From Site: Check this box if no discharge occurs and, as a result, there are no data or codes to be entered for all of the parameters on the DMR for the entire monitoring group number; however, if the monitoring group includes other monitoring locations (e.g., influent sampling), the "NOD" code should be used to individually denote those parameters for which there was no discharge.

Monitoring Period: Enter the month, day, and year for the first and last day of the monitoring period (i.e. the month, the quarter, the year, etc.) during which the data on this report were collected and analyzed.

Sample Measurement: Before filling in sample measurements in the table, check to see that the data collected correspond to the limit indicated on the DMR (i.e. interim or final) and that the data correspond to the monitoring group number in the header. Enter the data or calculated results for each parameter on this row in the non-shaded area above the limit. Be sure the result being entered corresponds to the appropriate statistical base code (e.g.

annual average, monthly average, single sample maximum, etc.) and units.

No. Ex.: Enter the number of sample measurements during the monitoring period that exceeded the permit limit for each parameter in the non-shaded area. If none, enter zero.

Frequency of Analysis: The shaded areas in this column contain the minimum number of times the measurement is required to be made according to the permit. Enter the actual number of times the measurement was made in the space above the shaded area.

Sample Type: The shaded areas in this column contain the type of sample (e.g. grab, composite, continuous) required by the permit Enter the actual sample type that was taken in the space above the shaded area.

Signature: This report must be signed in accordance with Rule 62-620.305, F.A.C. Type or print the name and title of the signing official. Include the telephone number where the official may be reached in the event there are questions concerning this report. Enter the date when the report is signed.

Comment and Explanation of Any Violations: Use this area to explain any exceedances, any upset or by-pass events, or other items which require explanation. If more space is needed, reference all attachments in this area.

PART B - DAILY SAMPLE RESULTS Monitoring Period: Enter the month, day, and year for the first and last day of the monitoring period (i.e. the month, the quarter, the year, etc.) during which the data on this report were collected and analyzed.

Daily Monitoring Results: Transfer all analytical data from your facility's laboratory or a contract laboratory's data sheets for all day(s) that samples were collected. Record the data in the units indicated. Table I in Chapter 62-160, F.A.C., contains a complete list of all the data qualifier codes that your laboratory may use when reporting analytical results. However, when transferring numerical results onto Part B of the DMR, only the following data ualifier codes should be used and an explanation provided where appropriate.

CODE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS

< The compound was analyzed for but not detected.

A Value reported is the mean (average) of two or moie determinations.

J Estimated value, value not accurate.

Q Sample held beyond the actual holding time.

Y Laboratory analysis was from an unpreserved or improperly preserved sample.

To calculate the monthly average, add each reported value to get atotal. For flow, divide this total by the number of days in the month. For all other parameters, divide the total by the number of observations.

Plant Staffing: List the name, certificate number, and class of all state certified operators operating the facility during the monitoring period. Use additional sheets as necessary.

PART D - GROUND WATER MONITORING REPORT Monitoring Period: Enter the month, day, and year for the first and last day of the monitoring period (i.e. the month, the quarter, the year, etc.) during which the data on this report were collected and analyzed.

Date Sample Obtained: Enter the date the sample was taken. Also, check whether or not the well was purged before sampling.
