Florida Power & Light Company Plant St. Lucie Wastewater Permit No. FL0002208 FL0002208 VI.5.5 - Chlorine Optimization Study Timeline Extension
Dear Mr. Harris:
As discussed with you on August 16, 2018 via teleconference with Florida Power & Light (FPL),
FPL St. Lucie Plant requests an extension of the scheduled timeline for the Chlorine Optimization Study mandated by FL0002208 VI.5. It is stated in FL0002208 VI.5.5 that the final chlorine optimization study report shall be submitted upon completion of the study, but within two years following permit issuance (i.e., November 4, 2018). However, the final portion of the study, which includes a 90-day trial of the Nalco Purate chlorine dioxide system, cannot be completed before the scheduled completion date. This is due to the extensive number of screenings and evaluations that are required for nudear plants to conduct such trials in order to ensure that changing biocides will not adversely affect the environment, the plant circulating water system, plant personnel, or associated safety-related systems. FPL St. Lucie Plant proposes a revised end date of April 1, 2019.
This revised end date will provide adequate time to analyze the data and finalize the Chlorine Optimization Study report for submission.
Please contact Chrissi-Lee Ramsey at (772) 467-7228 or Chrissi-Lee.Ramsey@fpl.com if you have any questions on this matter.
