Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400 RE: FPL - St. Lucie Plant State Industrial Wastewater Permit No. FL0002208 St Lucie NPDES Permit Noncompliance Notification

Dear Ms. Coggins,

Per FPL St. Lucie Plant Conditions of Certification (CoC) PA-72-02 Condition D. -

  • Noncompliance Notification and the Florida Power and Light Company St. Lucie Plant State Industrial Wastewater Facility Permit FL0002208, and your instructions, the St.

Lucie Plant reported a non-compliance event that recently occurred at the St. Lucie Plant. The initial 24-hour oral notification to the FDEP Southeast included a follow-up email that also satisfied the CoC 3-day written confirmation. Attachment 1 provides the applicable content of that email that was sent on May 18, 2016 at 1537 from Corey Spencer (FPL - St. Lucie Plant) to Calvin Williams (FDEP Southeast) in order to satisfy the wastewater permit's requirement for a written submission.

If you should have any questions, please contact Corey Spencer at (772) 467-7436.

Sincerely,

  • State Industrial Wastewater Permit No. FL0002208 Attachment 1 Event Date: May 17, 2016 Page 1 of 1 St Lucie NPDES Permit Noncompliance Notification From: Spencer, Corey Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 3:37 PM To: Williams, Calvin E.

Subject:

PSL IWW permit noncompliance synopsis Calvin, We were preparing to transition our Water treatment plant system vendors from GE water to EVOQUA.

We were running a Temporary EVOQUA WTP for testing - started on 3/2/16, we had been running on/off to verify water quality, flow, etc.

Juno Environmental Serviqes (JES) was working to obtain the amendment to our CoC and our environmental analyst is working to update our IWW permit.

However, upon preparation for the CoC amendment, (5/17/16 @ 1029) corporate environmental (JES) provided feedback to us that we cannot operate the temporary WTP due to the additional chemicals they use for scavenging chlorine, anti-scale agent -

-- since they are not in our current IWW permit. Upon review of their comment we secured the temporary EVOQUA WTP and restarted the GE WTP to restore IWW permit compliance@ 5/17/16@ 1415. We attempted a notification last night around 1800-left a voicemail message with you and then followed-up this morning at 0739 on the event.

~ Chemicals used by EVOQUA WTP since 3/2/16 are:

  • 40% Sodium Bi-Sulphate= 45 gallons (63 lb)
  • Vitec 3~00 (proprietary)= 35 gallons (46 lb)

Furthermore, the discharge flowstream from the EVOQUA WTP was to our West Basin (11.2 million gallons) to the South Basin (6.3 million gallons) and to the Southeast Basin (4.8 million gallons).

Total basin volume is 22.3 million gallons.

I have already provided the SOS (Safety Data Sheets) upon your request.

How we got there - simply this was a failure of site project management to follow ADM-27 .19, Environmental Control Program for St Lucie Plant Construction Activities.

We will be performing an apparent cause evaluation, procedure revisions to our Project Management procedures, and a training needs analysis to prevent occurrence.

If you need any additional information - I will provide as requested.

Also, please advise me regarding the requirement for a written report within the next five days, as stated in our permit.
