Florida Department of Environmental Protection 2600 Blair Stone Road Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400 Re: Florida Power & Light Company Plant St. Lucie Wastewater Permit No. FL0002208 Minor Permit Revision Request for Chlorine Dioxide

Dear Mr. Harris:

FPL St. Lucie Plant requests a Minor Permit Revision to Industrial Wastewater Permit No. FL0002208 Section l.C.9 to include Chlorine Dioxide as a permanently approved biocide. As part of the Chlorine Optimization Study required by Section Vl.5 of FL0002208, the plant conducted a pilot trial using the Nalco Purate System to examine the benefit of using Chlorine Dioxide to prevent biofouling in lieu of using Sodium Hypochlorite. Both ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and residual chlorine analyses during the study showed improved biocide effectiveness on a microbiological level.

Condenser inspections performed during the Unit 1 fall refueling outage in October confirmed that enhanced disinfection and macro biological fouling prevention was achieved with this alternative biocide.

FPL St. Lucie Plant also requests to maintain sodium hypochlorite on the approved chemicals list in conjunction with chlorine dioxide in section l.C.9. Post permanent implementation of this new biocide, the sodium hypochlorite system will be maintained as a backup to guarantee site capability to treat Intake Cooling Water (service water),

which affects the health of nuclear safety related heat exchangers.

Use of the Nalco Purate System would involve bulk storage of the following chemicals:

Name Purpose CERCLARQ Purate (40%

Sodium Chlorite, Biocide Precursor N/A 7% Hydrogen Peroxide)

Biocide Production 78% Sulfuric Acid 1000 lbs Reagent Florida Power & Light Company 6501 S. Ocean Drive, Jensen Beach, FL 34957

SDPSL-2019-063 Page 2 The following information is provided in Attachment 1 in support of this request:

1. Nalco Pu rate process illustration (Figure 1)
2. Projected Dosage
3. Estimated Effluent Residual
4. Applicable byproduct toxicity data
5. Applicable residual chlorine dioxide toxicity data
6. Safety Data Sheets for Nalco Purate (proprietary)
7. Safety Data Sheets for Nalco 78% Sulfuric Acid This information, along with the effluent toxicity test results submitted during the trial period, adequately demonstrate that use of this new chemical will pose no concerns with toxicity. If you should have any questions or require additional information regarding this request, please feel free to contact Chrissi-Lee Ramsey at (772) 467-7228 or via email at Chrissi-Lee.Ramsey@fpl.com.
