Dear Ms. Pandya:
Ron Desantis Governor Jeanette Nunez Lt. Governor Noah Valenstein Secretary Thank you for the information that you provided in your e-mail received on March 20, 2020, regarding use of wood flour to temporarily repair leaks in the Turkey Point Unit 4 cooling water condenser tubes. The Department has reviewed the information and understands that Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) is conducting necessary temporary repairs to the Unit 4 condenser tubes to reduce in-leakage of hypersaline cooling water into the secondary side. FPL will use a maximum of 900 pounds of wood flour per day at a maximum rate of 200 pounds a minute. The wood flour shall be used until the next Turkey Point Unit 4 site wide outage ( currently scheduled for October 2020). FPL will conduct more permanent repairs during the outage.
On this basis, the Department concurs that the proposed project can be considered "construction, replacement, or repair of components of an industrial site or plant," pursuant to Rule 62-620.200(26)(b ), Florida Administrative Code. Moreover, repairing in-leakage or cooling water into the secondary side generally conforms to preventive maintenance BMPs required by permit under the NPDES program. Therefore, the project, as described herein, does not require a permit revision.
When discharging wood flour to the cooling canal system, FPL shall comply with the monitoring requirements in Table I of Attachment A. Please submit analytical results to the Department.
Ms. Meghna Pandya Turkey Point Power Plant March 23, 2020 Page2 NPDES Permit No. FL0001562 If you have any questions, please contact Frank Wall or me at (850) 245-8589.
