RESPONSE TO RAI 1
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Regulatory Commission Enclosure Enclosure 3F1109-04 3F1 109-04 Attachment 1 Page 1 of 23 23 RESPONSE TO RAJ RESPONSE RAI 1 BACKGROUND BACKGROUND The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to consider National Environmental consider direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts in environmental environmental impact statements statements (40 (40 CFR 1508.25). 1508.25). A cumulative impact impact is defined in the Council Council on Environmental Environmental Quality Quality (CEQ) NEPA NEPA Regulation Regulation (40 CFR 1508.7) as:
" ... the impact on the environment environment which results from the incremental incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable foreseeable future actions actions regardless of what agency (Federal or non-Federal) undertakes such other non-Federal) or person undertakes actions. Cumulative impacts impacts can result from individually minor but collectively collectively significant significant actions taking place over a period period of time."
Although the NRC regulations regulations for preparing preparing license renewal renewal environmental reports (10 CFR 51.53) do not specifically direct applicants to analyze cumulative impacts, the NRC is required required by NEPA NEPA to analyzeanalyze these impacts impacts and may may seek an applicant's applicant's assistance identifying assistance in identifying potential cumulative cumulative impacts. In accordance accordance with this requirement, the NRC issued Progress Progress Energy the following following Request for Additional Information Information (RAI) (RAI) on October 6, 2009:
"To assess the cumulative cumulative impacts impacts of extended operation, operation, provide a list of all reasonably foreseeable foreseeable activities and events involving CR-3 or other Progress Progress Energy Florida Florida facilities that will.
will occur occur during the period covered by the license renewal and that have have the likelihood likelihood of impacting impacting the environment environment on or proximate proximate to CR-3; provide a schedule schedule for each;each; provide an assessment assessment of expected impacts; introduce qualifiers or expected impacts; contingencies contingencies as necessary to reflect uncertainty." Consistent Consistent with the RAI and CEQ NEPA regulation (40 CFR 1500), Progress Energy has has considered considered potential cumulative impacts on human health and the environment environment resulting from the incremental incremental impact of license renewal when considered considered in addition addition to past, present, and reasonably foreseeable foreseeable future actions. However, past actions are reviewed only briefly, to provide context and perspective. The geographic geographic area over which past, present present and future actions actions would occur is dependentdependent on the type of action considered considered and the resource under consideration. consideration. Progress Energy has identified the principal present foreseeable future actions present and reasonably foreseeable actions that have the potential potential to impact human human health and the environment environment in the vicinity of Crystal River Unit 33 (CR-3). These include include (1) the proposed action,action, renewal of the CR-3 operating license, (2) the steam generator replacement project, currently under way at CR-3, (3) the generator replacement the nearly-completed Clean Air Project, intended to reduce emissions of sulphur dioxide nearly-completed dioxide and nitrogen oxides at coal-fired Crystal River Units 4 and 5, (4) the CR-3 extended power power uprate uprate (EPU) project, (5) the proposed CR-3 Independent Installation (ISFSI), Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), (6) the proposed proposed Levy County nuclear nuclear plant, which would involve building and operating two nuclear reactors reactors at a site in Levy County, Florida, approximately 88 miles northeast northeast of CR-3, and (7) the planned decommissioning decommissioning of coal-fired Units 1 and 2 at Crystal River. Other reasonably foreseeable foreseeable projects, including a proposedproposed switchyard upgrade, were considered, but were not

CR-3 achieved license was issued on December achieved initial criticality criticality on January 14, 1977, and began commercial operation on March March 13, 1977. CR-3 has operated safely and efficiently for more more than 32 years. CR-3's operating operating license will expire December 3, 2016. Progress Energy prepared a License expire December Renewal Environmental License Renewal Environmental Report conjunction with its application to the NRC to renew the CR-3 operating (LR ER) in conjunction operating license, as Energy submitted the application Progress Energy provided by NRC regulations. Progress application for license renewal on December 16, 2008. The renewed December renewed operating additional 20 years of plant operating license would allow an additional operation, meaning the plant would operation, meaning December 3, would be able to operate until December 2036. 3,2036. environmental impacts of the CR-3 license renewal were examined in the License Potential environmental License LR discussion of cumulative impacts, portions of which ER. The LR ER contained aa discussion which have been reprised in this RAI response. PROJECTS WITH POTENTIALLY POTENTIALLY CUMULATIVE IMPACTS CUMULATIVE IMPACTS The scope of a cumulative resource area. For example, the impact analysis varies by resource cumulative impact the appropriate (archaeological) resources might be aa appropriate area of potential impact for cultural (archaeological) construction site, while the area of potential impact construction quality might be a ten-mile reach of impact for water quality downstream from aa construction site. Progress Energy took this into consideration aa river downstream consideration when identifying projects projects that could produce impacts cumulative to those of CR-3 license impacts that are cumulative license renewal. Steam Steam Generator Replacement Generator Replacement The Steam Generator Generator Replacement described in detail in Section Replacement (SGR) project is described Section 3.2 of the the CR-3 LR ER; and its impacts are discussed discussed in the context of "refurbishment" (Generic (Generic Environmental Impact Environmental Impact Statement (GElS), Chapter 3). The steam generators arrived on site in Statement (GELS), ramped up in September SGR-related activities ramped August 2009. SGR-related September 2009, when the Cycle 16 refueling/maintenance refueling/maintenance outage (RFO-16) began.

CR-3 Extended Power Uprate (EPU) Extended Power (EPU) Energy has notified the NRC Progress Energy Progress intends to increase the licensed core thermal NRC that itit intends power level of CR-3 from 2,609 MWt to 3,014 MWt, an increase increase of approximately approximately 15.5 15.5 percent percent from the current licensed core thermal power level, and 22.9 percent above above the originally originally licensed reactor power level licensed level of 2,452 MWt. This change thermal power level would change in core thermal would require the NRC to amend the facility's operatingoperating license. The EPU would add 168 MWe to the the plant's gross power output. The power output would output would result from improving improving the performance of performance the steam turbine increasing the size of the refueling batches turbine and by increasing batches to provide the necessary energy to support operation at the higher higher power levels. Progress Energy intends to increase the power level in two phases. Phase II coincides Progress coincides with thethe replacement of the plant's steam generators during the scheduled replacement scheduled fall 2009 outage. Phase II of the EPU would produce a small increase would produce electrical output with no change in rated thermal increase in electrical power. The net impact impact of this initial phase would be a more efficient secondary plant. The efficient secondary The occurring during aa scheduled refueling outage in the fall of 2011, second phase, occurring 2011, would bring the the total increase in electrical electrical output associated associated with the EPU project to 168 Increasing the 168 MWe. Increasing the plant's rated thermal power level would increase the amount of steam generated generated and the the temperature of the circulating temperature circulating water; therefore, a new mechanical-draft mechanical-draft cooling tower, designated Cooling Tower South (CTS), would be put into service to accommodate deSignated accommodate the higher circulating circulating water temperatures.

The LNB and SCR systems are designed designed to remove remove 93 percent NO,x from the flue gases. The SCR and FGD systems will remove 70 to 80 percent of the NO 80 percent mercury in the flue gasses. percent of the mercury In addition to the new control equipment, Progress Energy sought and received approval approval from the Florida Department Department of Environmental Environmental Protection Protection to burn additional fuel blends (sub-bituminous coal and petroleum coke) in the -two -two coal-fired units. Finally, Progress Energy was was given approval to install aa new carbon burnout system to reburn fly ash generated generated at Crystal River, to recover heating value in this material and minimize recover the remaining heating minimize the offsite landfilling landfilling of fly ash. Aside from the installation of equipment designed to reduce emissions, the Clean Air Project encompasses encompasses aa number of ancillary projects undertaken to support support the new control systems and improve operational improve efficiency.

A gypsum handling handling system was completed in 2009, handling is scheduled for completion by year's end. gypsum handling and gypsum Project workforce The Clean Air Project numbered about 850 when the fall 2009 outage began, in workforce numbered in September 2009, and about 520 when the fall outage September December 2009. The first outage ends, in December December 2009, the second in May 2010. The project scheduled to come on line in December scrubber is scheduled completed by the time the fall 2011 outage begins. The additional will be completed additional workers associated associated with this project could affect affect housing availability and traffic flows in the Crystal River River area in late late 2009, but impacts would be SMALL and temporary. The Clean Air Project would have have little or no impact on land land use, ecological resources (including ecological resources (including species and habitats), visual resources, or cultural resources. Although more than 200 sensitive species 200 acres have been affected by the various projects projects and activities (Figure 1), all of this acreage acreage converted to industrial use (power production) was converted production) in the early early 1980s, and any cultural resources or wildlife habitat itit might have contained resources contained were lost.

Beyond the alteration alteration of storm water flow discussed discussed earlier, construction and operation of the ISFSI would have have no effect on water resources. Levy Nuclear Plant, Units 1I and 2 (LNP) Nuclear Plant. (LNP) Progress Energy submitted a Combined Application (COLA) to the NRC Operating License Application Combined Operating NRC for southern Levy County, Florida, on July 30, 2008. The 5,200 nuclear units at aa site in southern two new nuclear acre site is approximately approximately 8 miles northeast northeast of CR-3. Current plans call for two 1,100 megawatt Westinghouse AP-1000 type. The facility would employ closed-cycle cooling with units of the Westinghouse with waterbody formerly known as the Cross Florida Barge Canal' makeup from the waterbody makeup Canal (now the canal within the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Florida Greenway) and blowdown piped to the Crystal discharge canal.

Progress Energy tentatively plans to shut down Crystal River River Units 1 and 2 by the end of 2020, providing LNP Units Units 1 and 2 are licensed, built, and operating according to the current schedule. The shutdown (or depowering) of Crystal River Units 1 and 2 is a condition of the LNP Site Certification, signed by by the Governor's SitingSiting Board on August 11, 11, 2009. Because Because decommissioning of Crystal River Units 1 and 2 has not been resolved and no the timing of the decommissioning no decommissioning plans are available, itit was difficult to evaluate this project's impacts. Moreover, ifif this project is implemented, activities will take place place long after the other projects projects evaluated here (excluding operation of CR-3 and possibly LNP) have been completed. POTENTIAL CUMULATIVE CUMULATIVE IMPACTS BY RESOURCE RESOURCE AREA Impacts to Land Use and Ecological, Ecological. Cultural, and and Visual Resources Resources Because the same kinds of activities tend to impinge on land use, ecological ecological resources, cultural resources, and visual resources, impacts to these resources were considered collectively.

Additional construction personnel and additional traffic associated with SGR are not archaeological or historic sites in the Crystal River area. expected to impact any archaeological In late 2004, ProgressProgress Energy issued formal guidelines ("Archaeological ("Archaeological and Cultural Resources") for the protection of both previously previously identified identified and heretofore-undiscovered heretofore-undiscovered archaeological archaeological and cultural resources resources that could be affected affected by land-disturbing activities land-disturbing activities (Progress Energy 2004). These guidelines, which are part of Progress Energy's Energy's Environmental Compliance Manual, outline the responsibilities of Progress Progress Energy employees and contractors contractors engaged land-disturbing activities, such as the construction or expansion engaged in land-disturbing expansion of power plants, substations, and transmission transmission lines. The guidelines guidelines also designate designate an organization (Environmental Services (Environmental Services Section) within Energy Supply and an organization organization (Environmental Health and Safety) within Energy Delivery that is responsible for consulting consulting with the State Historic Preservation Preservation Officer if a cultural site (e.g., a cemetery) is known to be near an area to be disturbed disturbed by construction construction or ifif cultural artifacts (e.g., spear points or pottery pottery shards) are discovered discovered once construction has begun. Based on the current plans and schedule, replacement replacement of CR-3 steam generators generators should have have little to no effect on cultural cultural or natural resources. All planned refurbishmentrefurbishment activities activities would take take place in an industrial industrial setting, in areas areas previously disturbed by construction and operation of the the Crystal Crystal River Energy Energy Complex and associated associated transmission infrastructure. infrastructure.

This was the only loss of wildlife habitat associated associated with the Clean Air Project, and the only instanceinstance in which aa natural area was convertedconverted to industrial use. Because Because the area consisted primarily of planted planted pines, it was not high-quality high-quality wildlife wildlife habitat, but it undoubtedly undoubtedly provided cover and nesting nesting habitat habitat for small numbers of reptiles, songbirds, and small mammals. Extended Power Uprate (EPU) Extended The proposed proposed EPU would have minimal effect on land use at the 4,738-acre 4,738-acre CREC site. All areas on the CREC site that would be disturbed disturbed or altered by EPU-related were activities were previously disturbed during development development of the two fossil units in the 1960s 1960s and CR-3 in the the 1970s 1970s and/or by subsequent subsequent facility modifications, upgrades, and expansions. As noted noted in Section 2.5.3 of the CR-3 Final Safety Analysis Report, the site is adjacent adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico Mexico in a former marsh area that was reclaimed for site development. development. The developed developed portion of the the site is covered by aa 3-to-5-foot-thick layerlayer of fill made up of coarse coarse silty sand and limestone rock fragments fragments that were placed directly over existing existing soil and vegetation vegetation to facilitate construction of plant facilities. Clearing, Clearing, filling, and grading grading during construction construction raised the land level in the the approximately five feet, to about 88 feet above sea level general vicinity of CR3 by approximately level (AEC 1973). As aa consequence, consequence, there are no undisturbed undisturbed areas areas and no native soils or vegetation communities within the central central developed developed portion portion of the site. A new mechanical-draft mechanical-draft cooling tower, designated designated Cooling Tower South (CTS), would be put into service accommodate the higher circulating service to accommodate circulating water temperatures associated associated with EPU. The new cooling towertower would be built in an area 3,400 feet west of the powerblock powerblock area that is currently occupied occupied by aa 1.3-acre 1.3-acre basin originally originally intended intended for use as a wastewater wastewater settling (final polishing) pond, but never never actually put into service service (see Figure construction laydown Figure 1). A construction laydown area has been established on a 4-acre parcel of land 3,600 feet west of the powerblock powerblock area on on which the CR-3 meteorological meteorological towertower is currently located located (see Figure 1). This site was was historically salt marsh, but was filled in 1970 for an experimentalexperimental mariculture (shrimp-rearing) facility operated by the Ralston Purina Corporation. The mariculture mariculture facility was closed in 1981 when itit became clear that the operation was not economically economically viable. ..The The facility was was subsequently modified to make room for the met tower and a nuclear subsequently nuclear security training complex. To accommodate additional workers associated accommodate additional associated with EPU, a temporarytemporary 20-acre parking area parking area private property approximately has been created on private approximately one mile north of the site entrance, at the the intersection of State intersection Highway 19 and Highway State Highway Highway 488 (Dunnellon Road). Progress Energy Energy leased the land, formerly maintained maintained as pastureland, pastureland, from Holcim (U.S.) Inc., Holcim (U.S.) Inc., a division of HCR HCR Limestone, which operates limestone mines on other parts of the Holcim operates limestone Holcim property. The 20-acre 20-acre area is normally used for grazing cattle. Use of this 20-acre 20-acre parcel for temporary temporary parking would exclude grazing cattle during the lease period in 2009, but would not change its zoning (land (land development development zone) classifications or affect affect its long-term use. Although land use in several previously-disturbed areas would change several small, previously-disturbed change during the the construction construction period and one small (1.3 (1.3 acre), previously-disturbed previously-disturbed parcel would be permanently permanently converted converted to industrial use (for the new cooling tower), the impact to overall land land use on the the

There would be aa small change in the the visual/aesthetic impacts would be small in associated with the new cooling tower, but visual/aesthetic viewscape associated viewscape in comparison to the visual impact of the existing stacks and natural-draft natural-draft cooling cooling towers. Given that none of the EPU-related EPU-related activities would take place in an undeveloped undeveloped or undisturbed undisturbed area and that the developed developed portion portion of the CREC was cleared, filled, and graded graded during during construction construction in the 1960s and 1970s, the probabilityprobability of impacts to cultural cultural resources resources is very remote. Because Because the EPU would only impact previously-disturbed previously-disturbed lands, would* would not result in aa measurable increase in noise levels outside the CREC outside measurable outside of the construction construction period, would not require transmission transmission system changes (i.e., (i.e., new towers, lines lines or substations substations or changes changes in rights-of-way maintenance practices), rights-of-way maintenance practices), there would be no new impacts to ecologicalecological resources resources associated with the EPU. (including sensitive species and habitats) associated ISFSI Development of the ISFSI Development cultural or natural ISFSI should have no effect on cultural resources because the natural resources the construction has site under construction has been thoroughly disturbed (filled, graded, heavily used during during outages) and is in the industrial center center of the site. The appearance appearance of the site will change, but since the viewscape is already dominateddominated by large industrial facilities, visual and aestheticaesthetic impacts would be negligible. Summary All of the construction disturbance associated with LR, SGR, CAP, and EPU have construction and land disturbance have taken place in previously disturbed areas in the developed portion of the CREC, with one developed portion one exception: the new access road to Crystal River North (Units 4 and 5). Construction Construction of this this access road required required clearing approximately six acres of woodland. clearing approximately Facilities yet to be built, woodland.

These dose limits are codified in 10 CFR CFR 20 and 40 CFR 190. The CR-3 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program measures radiation from all sources; therefore, the monitoring monitoring program effectively measures cumulative radiological impacts: impacts. Levels Levels of radioactivity measured are typical for an estuarine environment, and are mostly the result of natural-occurring nuclides or residual nuclides natural-occurring nuclides from atmospheric atmospheric testing of atomic weapons. occupational exposures are monitored CR-3 occupational monitored and reported to the NRC in annual annual occupational (NUREG-0713). From 2002-2007, the collective radiation exposure reports (NUREG-0713). collective worker dose ranged from 4.0 to 184.6 person-rem person-rem (Table 2), and was markedly higher in alternate years, because because CR-3 is on a 24-month refueling cycle. Averaging Averaging the collective dose values for the 6-year 6-year period, which encompasses encompasses three refueling cycles, results in an annual average average collective dose of 74.5 person-rem.

Air Quality Air quality is regulated at the. promulgated under regulations promulgated the national level through regulations under the Clean Air Air Act (CAA) of 1970 and its subsequent subsequent amendments. The CAA directed the United States States Environmental Protection Agency Environmental National Ambient Agency (USEPA) to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards Standards (NAAQS) (NAAQS) for air pollutants that endanger endanger public health and the environment. The USEPA subsequently adopted primary subsequently AAQS to protect the public health primary National AAQS health and secondary National AAQS National MQS to protect public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse adverse effects effects associated with the presence ambient air. Areas of the country in violation of presence of pollutants in ambient AAQS are designated MQS nonattainment areas, and new sources designated as nonattainment sources to be located located in or near these these areas may be subject to more stringent air permitting permitting requirements. USEPA has adopted adopted airair quality standards for six criteria criteria pollutants - Ozone (03), Ozone (0 3 ), carbon monoxide monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide dioxide (NO2 (N0 ), sulfur dioxide 2), dioxide (S02), (SO 2), suspended particulate (PM 10 and PM 2 particulate matter (PM1Q 2.5),
), and airborne lead.
U. Nuclear Regulatory Commission U. S. Nuclear Enclosure Enclosure 3F1109-04 3F1 109-04 Attachment 1 Page 18 of 23 23 Citrus County, Florida is classified as an attainment attainment area for all criteria pollutants (Rule (Rule 62-204.340, F.A.C.). The CREC is located in a rural area of Citrus County that has aa small number number of air pollution sources. Air monitoring data is not collected in the county. However, monitoring monitoring data are collected SO 2 , PM 10 collected for S02, 1O ,, 0 3 , and NO 03, N022 from offsite monitoring monitoring stations maintained and and operated by the Florida Department of EnvironmentalEnvironmental Protection Protection (FDEP), Pinellas Pinellas County, and Marion Marion County (PEF 2007b). 2007b). Data indicate that the maximum concentrations of these pollutants maximum concentrations pollutants in the region are well below below applicable applicable standards. Given the lack of industrial developmentdevelopment in the vicinity of CR-3, existing concentrations concentrations of other criteria pollutants, i.e., CO and Pb, which are usually associated associated with urban environments, are expected expected to be well below the MQSAAQS (PEF 2007b). The entire entire CREC, including including the nuclear associated process nuclear unit's associated currently process equipment, is currently addressed addressed under the site's Title V air operating operating permit (PEF 2007b). This permit permit (Final Permit Permit 0170004-015-AV) is active until December No. 0170004-015-AV) 31, 2009, when renewal is required. The Title V December 31,2009, addresses four coal-fired permit addresses generating units; two natural draft cooling towers; helper coal-fired generating helper mechanical draft cooling towers; modular cooling towers; coal, fly ash and bottom ash handling mechanical facilities and moveable diesel-fired generators moveable diesel-fired generators (PEF 2007b). Although CR-3 is not considered considered an emission generating unit under under the Title V permit, certain emissions associated with emissions units associated CR-3 are appropriately appropriately considered. License License Renewal operating license will expire December 3, 2016, CR-3's operating 2016" -and Progress Energy submitted its and Progress application for license renewal application December 16, 2008. The renewed operating license renewal on December license would would allow an additional 20 years of plant operation, meaning meaning the plant would be able to operate operate until December 3, 2036. CR-3 is included December included in the CREC Title V permit, though itit is not considered an emission generating generating unit under the Title V permit. But, certain certain emissions associated with emissions units associated with CR-3 are appropriately considered (diesel-fired appropriately considered (diesel-fired generators). EPU Emissions from the proposed Emissions mechanical-draft cooling tower, the CTS, would be limited to proposed mechanical-draft particulate matter. The predicted particulate emissions for the new tower would be 97.6 tons per year for predicted emissions PM and 5.94 tons per year for PM 10 10 (PEF 2007b). Other regulated air emissions emissions (e.g., NONOxx and affected, as there would be no additional SO 2 ) would not be affected, S02) additional fuel combustion sources sources (e.g., generator capacity). additional diesel generator emissions from the CTS would be confined to the capacity). The PM emissions the plant property where the public does not have access. High PM emissions also have have thethe potential to impair visibility. The CTS would be located located on plant property with limited public public access. Additionally, the PM emissions resulting from drift would also be located located close to the the CTS. The impacts to visibility from the PM emissions would be minimal. The projected PM10 10 emission rate from the CTS is small and would not impact impact air quality.

- additional 40 MW of power. Phase n planned refueling outage of II will take place during the 2011 planned of additional 140 MW of power and will require a large CR3. The second phase will result in an additional number of smaller yet substantial number modifications to assure long term reliability of all plant systems substantial modifications necessary to support this higher licensed power level.
at the conditions necessary The power level upgrades scheduled for 2009 through 2011 trigger the need for this Site environmental impacts associated with the CR3 Uprate Certification Application (SCA). Net environmental Certitication Project Project are expected minimal and can be summarized as follows: expected to be minimal Land Use Use CR3 has a future land use zoning designation usc and zoning designation of Transportation, Communication, and Transportation, Communication, Utilities (TCU). According to both the Citrus County Comprehensive Plan and the Land Comprehensive Plan Development Code, the TCU designation allows for those uses directly related to transportation, Development transportation, generation facilities are a specified use under the TCU communication. and utilities.

- Air Air The CR3 Uprate Uprate Project circulating intake circulating CR3 Upgrade Project will increase increase the electrical output from CR3 and the associated
\vater flow rate. The types and sources of air emissions associated intake water associated with the Upgrade Project will consist of drift emissions from a potential new mechanical draft cooling tower to be designated the South Cooling Towers (SCT). The air emission emission impacts of the SCT associated with increased increased intake water flow (i.e.,
(i.e., increased increased flow through through additional new cooling towers) will trigger trigger PSD for particulate matter (PM), (PM), but not for PM less than 10 microns microns (PM 0 ). Other (PM310)' regulated air emissions (e.g., Other regulated (e.g., NOx NO x and S02) SO 2) will not be affected, as there will be be no additional fuel combustion combustion sources sources (e.g., additional diesel generator generator capacity) that may trigger PSD for these pollutants. Traffic Construction of the CR3 Uprate Project is anticipated Construction anticipated to commence commence in 2009 and conclude conclude in the 2012. The majority of construction construction workers are expected to commute to the CR3 site from within a distance distance of up to 75 miles. Peak construction construction employment employment of 650 is estimated estimated to increase the total of onsite employees to approximately approximately 2,950 workers in late 2009. Traffic generatedgenerated during during
- the constmction construction activities is considered a temporary temporary condition. No increase in operations operations personnel personnel will occur beyond the conclusion of the constmction construction activities acti vities in 2011.
2011. During the full build-out build-out year, traffic on both both West Powerline Street and U.S. Highway expected to Highway 19/98 are expected increase increase by less than one percent and not cause unacceptable unacceptable traffic conditions on area roadways. Ecology Due to the existing nature of the CR3 site, and limited amount amount of disturbance disturbance associated with the proposed proposed uprate project, no impacts to threatened threatened or endangered endangered species are anticipated anticipated as a result result of the CR3 Uprate Project. Water Water The CR3 Uprate Project will result in increased cooling water water flow rates and a larger larger pumping pumping capacity than what currently capacity currently exists exists within the water water flow system which supply the CR3 steam generators. generators. Overall, Ovenill, the uprate uprate project will result in an additional 180 MW of power and include alterations that will elevate the thermal unit's discharge. discharge.

Following PEF's request, the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) has determined that a power capacity and power output to the existing nuclear unit, CR3. economical option to add capacity uprate is an economical The CR3 Uprate Project will result in economic benefits benefits to customers and the community by by increase in the plant's gross output additional clean energy at lower cost to consumers. An increase providing additional output from 900 MW to 1,080 MW can serve the equivalent 110,700 homes. Studies have equivalent of an additional 110,700 increased efficiencies can be realized demonstrated that in order to reduce PEF's total fuel cost, increased demonstrated realized from from technological advancements and system modifications to increase generation capacity from the technological advancements the company's lowest cost fuel source. The need for the project is based on an economic company's economnic need to provide provide savings for consumers. The CR3 Up fuel savings Uprate expected to save customers more than $2.6 rate Project is expected billion in gross fuel costs through 2036. The CR3 Uprate Project will occur over two phases.

CR3 began operations in 1977. The Power Power Plant Siting Act (PPSA) SCA was promulgated promulgated in 1973. 1973. At that time, existing facilities or ones already in construction construction were certification were not required to seek certification under the PPSA and to file an SCA. Since the uprate project project will increase the electrical electrical generating capacity of CR3, CR3, an SCA is now required. The SCA will address the layout, history, and associated associated facilities relevant to the current operation operation of CR3 CR3 as well as the impactsimpacts associated associated with the the construction and operation operation of the CR3 Uprate Project. CR3 is currently licensed by the NRC. No NRC approvals required for Phase rI of the CR3 Uprate approvals are required Project. PEF plans to submit a licensed power change change to the NRC for Phase II of the CR3 Uprate Uprate Project in 2009 and NRC approval for Phase II is expected expected in 2011. 2011.

The seasonal seasonal and annual average average occurrences occurrences of atmospheric stability classes classes for this area for 1991 to 1995 1995 are shown shown in Table 2.3.7-4. During the summer months, unstable conditions occur about 35 percent of the time due to strong solar solar heating, whereas whereas unstable conditions conditions occurs only 16 percent of the time in the winter months. NeutralNeutral stability stability occurs most frequently during the winter months due to the higherhigher wind speeds that occur occur in this season. season. The occurrence occurrence of stable conditions is nearly uniform uniform throughout the year. The mixing height is a parameter used to define the vertical vertical height to which pollutants pollutants can disperse and, therefore, is used in estimating estimating the volume of air in which pollutants are emitted and can be be dispersed. In general, general, the higher the mixing height, the greater the potential for pollutants to be be dispersed dispersed and for ground-level ground-level concentrations concentrations to be reduced. The seasonal seasonal and annual average average morning and afternoon afternoon mixing heights for the plant area for 1991 to 1995 were determined using the Holzworth Holzworth method method and are listed in Table 2.3.7-5. TheseThese data are obtained from the nearest upper air station closest to the site and located in Ruskin. The highest highest

Thunderstorms are the most frequent of severe Thunderstorms severe storms, occurring an average average of 85 days per year as reported by the NWS at Tampa International International Airport. These storms occur throughout the year, but about 73 percent occur from May May through October. Hurricanes Hurricanes and tornadoes tornadoes are other types of severe severe weather that can occur in the project area, but the probability probability of a hurricane hurricane or tornado passing over the plant site is low. Statistics compiled by the severe severe local storms storms branch branch of the national severe storms storms forecast center center (Pautz 1969) show that 42 tornadoes tornadoes were spotted within the 1I degree degree latitude by 1 degree longitude square centered centered just south of the Tampa area area from 1955 to 1967. This averages averages about two tornadoes tornadoes per year. The tornado recurrence recurrence interval for any specific point location within the II degree square square was estimated estimated by the Methodology Methodology of Thom (1963). (1963). The recurrence recurrence interval, r, is equal to I/p lip where where p is the probability of a tornado striking within the 1I degree degree square square area and is estimated as follows: p==(2.8209 x:x t)/A t)/A

** Measurement Uncertainty Measurement Uncertainty Recapture.
Recapture. Since 2002, CR3 has been licensed to 2,568 MWt MWt (megawatts thermal) based on maintaining a standard two percent measurement measurement uncertainty margin to the requisite requisite analyses analyses and system evaluations performed system evaluations 2,619 performed at 2,619 MWt. Relatively Relatively recent guidance guidance allows a reduction reduction of this margin based on improved instrumentation so the plant can be licensed instrumentation licensed to operate operate at a slightly higher power level. The application application for this increase was submitted submitted to the NRC on April 25, 25. 2007 to allow a restart from the 2007 outage at this slightly higher power power level. level. This project can can bebe implemented with existing permits and regulatory approvals, implemented approvals.
** CR3 License Renewal. The license renewal is a comprehensive comprehensive assessment assessment of CR3 operations to demonstrate demonstrate compliance compliance with NRC regulatory requirements. The relicensing reiicensing process process will allow an additional 20 years of plant operation beyond the current CR3 licensed licensed operating operating period of 40 years. It is anticipated that the License

This permit (Final Permit No. 0170004-015-AV) addressed 0170004-015-AV) is active until December December 31, 31. 2009, 2009. when renewal is required. The TV permit addresses four coal-fired fossil fuel steam generating generating units; two natural draft cooling towers; helper helper mechanical draft cooling cooling towers; modular cooling towers; coal, fly ash and bottom ash handling facilities and relocatable diesel-fired diesel-fired generators. Although CR3 (the nuclear generatinggenerating unit) is not considered an emission generating unit under the TV permit, certain emissions units associated associated with CR3 are appropriately appropriately considered. The CREC is classified as an existing major facility. A "major facility" is defined as any 1I of 28 A "major named source categories categories that have the potential to emit 100 tons per year year (TPY) or more or any other other stationary facility that has the potential to emit 250 TPY or more of any pollutant pollutant regulated under under eAA.

The types and sources of air emissions associated with the CR3 Upgrade Upgrade Project will consist of a potential potential new mechanical draft cooling tower to be designated designated the South South Cooling Towers (SCT). PM and PM 1 0 emissions PMIQ emissions will result from cooling tower operation in the form of drift. Drift is water water aerosols emitted emitted from the cooling cooling tower containing containing dissolved minerals from the water circulating circulating in the cooling tower. The dissolved minerals become become PM, including PM10 IO,, when the water in the drift is evaporated. Cooling tower drift will be controlled using mist eliminators that will be designed to limit drift to no more than 0.0005 percent of the circulating circulating water rate of the cooling tower. In addition to adding a cooling tower tower to remove incremental heat required to be dissipated by the remove the incremental uprate project, PEF is considering replacement of the existingexisting modular cooling towers with additional permanent cooling towers (the South Cooling Cooling Tower (SCT)). Tower (SCT). Based on the relative relative design heat dissipation dissipation rates, approximately approximately 11 I I additional additional cells similar to the existing permanent helper cooling cooling

Coupled with the six cells required to dissipate dissipate the incremental incremental heat rejected rejected due to the uprate project, a total of 17 cells would would be required. The status of the existing modular cooling cooling tower is unknown, therefore, therefore, in order order to present a worst-case air quality assessment, it is assumed that the new SCT will include a safety safety factor (of at least one cell) and consist of 18 cells arranged arranged in a 9 by 2 configuration.

3.5 Plant Water Plant Water Use Use The primary water use for the CR3 Uprate Project will be an increase increase in cooling water flow through the CR3 condenser condenser to cool cool the increased increased heat rejected rejected by the CR3 condenser. The quantitative water water use diagram diagram for the existing existing CR 1,2, 1, 2, and 3 is shown in Figure 2.3.4-4. This figure does not show the the evaporative evaporative losses from the existing HCTs, however, that evaporation evaporation is estimated to range up to a maximum of only about 9,957 gpm. The only significant change in flow rates anticipated as a result of the CR3 Up Uprate rate Project is that of the potential increase increase of condenser cooling water flow now for CR3 by by approximately 150,000 gpm. approximately A new SCT has been proposed both to offset the increased increased circulating water rejected heat and to to replace the existing modular HCT. A small portion of the increased increased flow associated associated with the uprate project (up to about about 1,288 gpm) will be evaporated evaporated in the recirculating recirculating portion of the new SCT, which will be used to dissipate the increase increase in rejected rejected heat. The new SCT has also been designed to avoid Golder Associates Associates

in heat load or temperature temperature rise leaving the discharge canal to Crystal Bay/GulfBay/Gulf of Mexico. For the purpose of this SCA, a conservative conservative and conceptual conceptual design plan for the South Cooling Tower has been been proposed. Detailed design will be addressed as part of the NPDES renewal process process in 2009. 3.5.1 3.5.1 Heat Dissipation Dissipation System In Section Section 2.3.4, the design value of the existing heat rejection rejection rate via the condenser condenser cooling water water for CR3 was quantified as 5.88 Billion Btu per hour. CR3 currently currently produces produces approximately approximately 900 MWe (megawatts electrical) and 2.609 MWe (megawatts 2,609 MWt (megawatts (megawatts thermal). The net result of the uprate project will be to increase CR3's output to approximately approximately 1,080 1,080 MWe and 3.014 3,014 MWt. These These quantities can can all be converted converted to Btu per hour by the formula 1I watt = = 3.412141 Btu/hour. The result is shown in the table below, Heat Dissipation Dissipation System Comparison. Comparison. The difference difference between between MWt and MWe is the amount of heat produced produced by the unit that is not converted to electricity and which which is therefore rejected via the condenser condenser cooling water water system. The net increase in heat rejection is 225 MWt, which is equivalent equivalent to 0.768 Billion BiHion Btu per hour, and represents an increase increase of about 13.2 13.2 percent relative to the current current baseline heat rejection rate of 5.88 Billion Btu per hour for CR3, and about seven percent for the design three-unit three-unit heat rejection rejection rate of 10.91 Billion Btu per hour hour

The size and shape of the discharge thermal plume is generally canal. discharge thermal plume varies generally proportional varies with plant and meteorological meteorological conditions. proportional to the amount of heat rejected, which is a function of the the product of the flow rate and the temperature temperature rise. PEF is proposing additional additional recirculating cooling recirculating cooling towers to remove remove the increased increased rejected rejected heat anticipated anticipated by the uprate up rate project (0.768 Billion Btu/hour), therefore. Btu/hour), therefore, the size of the thermal plume plume will not increase beyond beyond existing existing conditions. As described in Section 2.3.4, CR 1, 1, 2 and 3 currently currently operate both permanent and modular HCTs.

To achieve the dissipation of of the increase increase of 0.768 Billion Btu per hour, a preliminary estimate indicates that a new new cooling tower tower consisting consisting of of six cells, similar to the penuanent permanent HCT cells, would required. A be rt!quired. A six-cell six.-cell cooling tower would be approximately 50 50 ft wide by 300 ft long by 55 ft tall, or or roughly 2/3 the size size of one of the existing permanent permanent HCT. PEF has the option during the uprate increasing either the CR3 condenser uprate of increasing water flow rate, condenser cooling water temperature rise, or both. The amount of heat that the new cooling towers must dissipate is or temperature independent independent of the specific choice of flow rate and temperature rise. If the CR3 flow rate is held

new SCT in the helper mode would then reduce the combined discharge temperature rise down to 7.7 'F, OF, assuming the full use of all HCT and ignoring the HCT evaporation. evaporation. This is the same temperature rise that would be expected under the same conditions with the existing plant temperature configuration. Similarly, if the condenser cooling water flow rate for CR3 is increased increased to 830,000 gpm, and to 1,468,000 gpm for all three units, the delta T for CR3 will be reduced to approximately 14.3 °P, 'F, whereas the combined three-unit temperature rise will decrease from 16.74 OF 'F to 15.03 15,03 OF

This is a temperature 1.24 OF 1.24 'F less than would be expected expected under the same conditions with the existing plant configuration, configuration, less because the three-unit flow rate has been increased by 150,000 and is tess 150,000 gpm, which is about Golder Associates Golder Associates

- 11.4 percent percent of the present present three-unit flow rate. Although the flow rate has been increased, the rate of of heat rejection rejection remains at the existing levet, level, as evidenced by the reduction reduction in temperature rise.
However, in order to avoid incremental incremental intake entrainment entrainment impacts due to the uprate. uprate, PEP PEF proposes to increase the size of the new SCT and to run a portion of the facility in the recirculating mode (i.e., recirculating mode (i.e., with the cold water return routed back to the intake canal rather than to the discharge discharge canal). At the maximum expected expected condenser condenser cooling water flow rate increase increase of 150,000 gpm, the size of the the recirculating recirculating portion of the SCT thus needs to be eight cells (flow rate of 152,136 gpm). ill [n addition to adding the new cooling cooling tower to remove the incremental incremental heat required to be dissipated by the uprate project, PEFPEP could potentially potentially replace the existing modular cooling cooling towers with an additional permanent HCT. Based on the relative design heat dissipation rates, approximately additional approximately II 11 additional cells equivalent equivalent to the existing permanent permanent HCT cells would be required. Coupled with the the six cells required required to dissipate the incremental heat rejected due to the uprate project, this means a total of 17 cells would be required, assuming additional additional cells were not required for intake canal canal flow reduction. The break point for this is the six-ccll six-cell flow rate of 114,102 gpm; at a condenser cooling water flow rate increase less than 114,102 114,102 gpm no additional recirculation for intake flow reduction reduction is
- needed. If the condenser cooling water flow rate increase increase exceeds exceeds 114,102 114,102 gpm additional recirculating cells are required for intake flow reduction. In the worst case, recirculating case, at the maximum increase increase of 150,000 gpm, this would entail two additional additional recirculating recirculating cells. However, the other result of increasing increasing the flow rate is that the discharge discharge temperature is reduced. Because Because the HCT are designed designed reduce the discharge temperature to not exceed a value of 96.5 OF solely to reduce 'F on a rolling rolting three-hour three-hour average, the reduced temperature rise results results in the fact that less cooling cooling is needed from the HCT.
The resultant amount of reduction in HCT heat transfer is about 0.5 Billion Biltion Btu per hour, which is equivalent to about four cooling cooling tower cells. celts. Thus, while this case requires two extra cells for intake flow reduction, it decreases decreases the number of helper cells required by four. In summary, summary, the two cases are described described in the following table:

Through-screen velocity is anticipated to increase from 1.45 fps (max at ML Through-screen velocity MLW) much as W) to as much 2.02 fps (max at MLW) with the CR3 Uprate Up rate Project.

The use of t.he the proposed new SCT will ensure that the heat rejection rate from the three units will wilt be limited so as not to exceed the present maximum rate of 10.91 maximum 10.91 Billion Btu per hour at the POD. Because the temperature rise is proportional to the heat rejection rate, the full load temperature proportional temperature rise at the maximum expected recirculating portion of the new SCT, flow rate, without the use of the existing HCT but using the recirculating TF. 13179 of. will be 13.79 Since the discharge temperature from CR 1,2 and 3 prior estimated to prior to use of the new SCT is estimated

- The magnitude magnitude of any changes in overall facility effects on aquatic expected expected to be small.
There are no expected expected changes aquatic life due to the uprate project is changes in effects on aquatic organisms due to changes in the release of of heat, because there there is no change change in the quantity of heat at the POD as measured measured in Btu per hour, and because the temperature temperature rise associated release of heat will be the same as, or associated with the release or slightly reduced from, the current discharge temperatures. As described 3.5, the total quantity of water withdrawn from the Gulf of Mexico described in Section 3.5, Mexico through the intake intake canal canal will not be increased increased by the uprate up rate project; project; therefore, the total rate of of entrainment entrainment should also not increase. In fact, since the amount of cooling water that will be be recirculated recirculated by the six-cell portion of the new cooling towers (152,136 (152,136 gpm) exceeds the potential increase increase in cooling cooling water flow associated associated with the uprate project (150,000 gpm), project (150,000 gpm), the net inflow into the intake canal from the Gulf of Mexico is estimated to decrease decrease slightly with the uprate project.
- Impingement mortality is generally Impingement generally considered considered a function of both through-screen through-screen velocity and of of total flow rate. Although Although the uprate may cause the through-screen through-screen velocity to increase by as much as 22 percent (from 1.65 1.65 fps maximum to 2.02 fPs fps maximum), the actual actual concentration concentration of of impingeable organisms is more likely controlled controlled by the velocity entering entering the intake canal, as that is the velocity velocity those organisms overcome to escape organisms must overcome escape impingement.
impingement. As described in Section Section 2.3.4, the existing intake canal velocity velocity which corresponds corresponds with the maximum through-screen through-screen velocity (at MLW) is estimated estimated to be about 1.3 1.3 fps. Since the uprate project will actually reduce the overall cooling cooling water flow into the intake intake canal from 1,318,000 1,318,000 gpm to at most 1,315,684 most 1,315,684 (1,468,000 gpm - 152,136 gpm), the maximum intake canal velocity would be expected gpm (1,468,000 expected to be reduced slightly, on the order of about 0.002 fps. Based Based on the discussion above, PEF proposes to continue continue to evaluate the entrainment entrainment and impingement impingement impacts impacts associated with CREC ongoing facility operations as well as the impacts associated associated with the CR3 Uprate Project. PEF intends to quantify aquatic impacts impacts to offset offset impacts impacts during the CREC NPDES renewal (scheduled (scheduled for submittal submittal in 2009) process. Pending the outcome outcome of the ongoing studies, PEF will propose propose the best technology technology available available for minimizing minimizing impacts.

Monitoring Programs Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Monitoring accordance with requirements In accordance requirements of 40 CFR 52.21(m) and Rule 62-212.400(5)(0, 62-212.400(5)(t), F.A.C., anyany application application for a PSD pennit permit must contain an analysis of continuous ambient air quality data in the area affected by the proposed major stationary stationary facility facility or major modification. modification. For a new major facility, the affected pollutants are those that the facility would potentially emit in significant significant amounts. For a major modification, modification, the pollutants are those for which the net emissions emissions increase exceed the significant emission rates, as described above. preconstruction ambient monitoring An exemption from the preconstruction monitoring requirements requirements is available available if certain criteria are met. If the predicted increase in ambient ambient concentrations, concentrations, due to the proposed modification, is less than specified specified de minimis minimnis concentrations, then the modification modification can be pre-construction air monitoring requirements exempted from the pre-construction requirements for that pollutant pollutant per FDEP rule. The proposed Project will result in PSD review for only PM emissions emissions and, as such, no preconstruction preconstruction ambient monitoring is required.
- 5.6.2.2 Emissions Monitoring Air Emissions Monitoring Continuous emission monitoring (CEM) (CEM) for the pollutant pollutant of concern concern (PM) is not technologically feasible for a project of this type. In lieu of air emissions monitoring, the pennittee technologically permittee typically typically certifies that the cooling towers were constructed and installed to achieve the specified drift rate.
This certified drift rate, in combination combination with monitoring of the circulating water flow rate, serve as a surrogate demonstrating air emissions surrogate for demonstrating emissions compliance. 5.7 Noise Impacts 5.7.1 Impacts Sound propagation involves three principal components: a noise source, a person or a group of of people, and the transmission transmission path. While two of these components, components, the noise source and the transmission path, are easily quantified (i.e., (i.e., direct measurements measurements. or through predictive predictive calculations), the effects of noise to humans is the most difficult to detennine determine due to the varying responses of humans to the same or similar noise patterns.

Population and housing market, which County, the Tampa housing impacts will be minimal because construction construction employees are anticipated to currently currently reside in the area and the potential for migration migration into the area during construction construction is anticipated to be modest. The ex.isting existing communities communities have sufficient resources to accommodate accommodate the expected expected modest increase employment, wages. increase in employment. wages, and sales. The proposed construction construction activities activities will require require skilled labor for the anticipated anticipated installation and and equipment therefore, construction workers could be paid higher wages than the local equipment modifications; therefore. market pays. This increase in wages will also benefit the surrounding area by using workers workers within local labor unions that, in tumturn pay taxes and purchase purchase goods and services within the community. Ongoing Ongoing operation operation of the plant will not require require additional staff; therefore, the existing workforce of of approximately approximately 600 employees will continue following the completion completion of the CR3 Uprate Project. The total cost for the CR3 CR3 Uprate Project is $250 million for the installation installation and equipment equipment upgrade
- requirements at the CR3 facility. These costs are split betweenbetween the two construction construction phases: Phase I has an estimated $100
$100 million and Phase II has an estimated estimated at $150
$150 million in project costs. TheThe major costs associated associated with this construction project project include major equipment and materials (about (about
$200 million) and labor (about (about $20 million) million) over over the four-year four-year construction period. The remaining remaining costs of $30
$30 million for development development of the project are associated associated with engineering, licensing, contingencies, and other miscellaneous costs.

- The intakes of the Crystal River Power Power Plant are located in an estuarine nursery area. The capacity of of Units 1,2, 1, 2, and 3, based on a once-through once-through cooling cooling mode mode is 1,898 MGD. There are no design features incorporated incorporated in the facility which would minimize impact of the large volume of flow and location.
The EPA previously determined determined that the location, location, capacity, and design of Crystal River Units I, 1, 2, and 3 do not reflect reflect the best technology technology available for minimizing adverse impacts impacts as required by 316(b) of the CWA. CW A. To minimize the adverse adverse impact of the plant intake structures, installation of fine fine mesh screen and a return mechanism would constitute constitute best available available technology. However, such a modification modification was not considered considered to be technically feasible, due to the use of the intake intake canal for coal delivery. Ambient silt from the Gulf of Mexico,Mexico, which settles in the intake canal is re-suspended re-suspended byby coal barges, would collect on the intake screens (0.5 mm mesh would necessary to remove fish eggs and larvae). larvae). Even if the silt did not clog the screens and render them inoperable, return of the removed solids to Salt Creek Creek (necessary for return of aquatic aquatic organisms organisms in Crystal River site) would would cause cause unacceptable unacceptable siltation siltation in the small creek. No other practical technological technological modification of the cooling cooling water intake structures structures is available available which would minimize the environmental environmental impacts to an an acceptable acceptable level. Therefore, Therefore, it was concluded concluded that a reduction of plant flow by 15 percent during the months of November through April, in conjunctionconjunction with the construction and operation of a fish hatchery hatchery overover the remaining operating life of CR I, 1, 22 and 33 constituted constituted minimization of the

Throughput rate = = circulation water flow rate == 342,306 GPM x 60 min/hr x 8,760 hours of maximum operation year = 1.8 E11 operation per year gallons per year. Ell gallons Since the emissions from the cooling tower are directly related to the amountamount of circulation circulation water through the tower, it is proposed proposed that the facility be restricted to an annual circulation circulation water consumption of 1.8 E 11 gallons and not hours per year operational limit. Limiting the El1 facility in this manner gives the facility operational operational flexibility while maintaining maintaining assurance that

The uprate will increase the output from CR3 and the associated circulating circulating intake water flow rate will also increase. The air emission impacts associated with increased intake water flow (i.e., (i.e., increased flow through additional cooling towers, referred to as the South Soutb Cooling Towers (SCT) will triggerPSD trigger PSD for particulate matter (PM), but not for PM less than 10 microns (PM10).

Cooling tower drift is created created when a small amount of the cooling water becomes entrained entmined in the air air stream and carried out of the tower. PM emissions from cooling towers are related to the total dissolved dissolved solids (TDS) and amount of drift through the cooling tower. Drift eliminators eliminators are the control control technology technology used to reduce the amount of drift and secondarily secondarily reduce the amount of PM PM emissions. The estimated PM and PM PM1IO0 emissions from the proposed cooling towers (SCT) (SeT) are presented in Table 2-1. Appendix A presents a description of the methodology Table 2-1. methodology and data used to to estimate the fraction of PMPM emissions that would constitute PM IO 10 *. Table 2-2 provides provides a description of of the physical characteristics. characteristics, performance performance and annual emission emission estimates for the proposed proposed SCT.

It should be noted that, although Table 2-1 indicates a PM 10 to emission rate of 0.238 lb/hr Iblhr for a typical TDS concentration concentration at the facility, PEF has conservatively conservatively assumed an emission rate of 1.349 Iblhr, lb/hr, which would reflect a worst-case worst-case

The state of Florida's PSD PSD regulations regulations are found in Rule 62-212.400, F.A.C. In addition addition to adding adding a SCT to remove incremental heat required to be dissipated by the uprate, remove the incremental PEF is considering replacement of the existing modular cooling towers with additional permanent considering replacement permanent SCTs. seTs. Based on the relative approximately 11 additional relative design heat dissipation rates, approximately cells additional cells equivalent equivalent to the existing permanent permanent cooling cooling tower cells will be required. Coupled Coupled with the 6 cells required required to dissipate dissipate the incremental heat rejected rejected due to the uprate project, this means a total of 17 17 cells would be required. Therefore, as the status of the existing modular cooling towers is unknown, in order to present a worst-case worst-case air quality assessment, it is assumed that the new pennanent permanent SCT will include a safety factor (of one cell) and consist of 18 cells arranged in a 9 by 2 configuration. The estimated cooling cooling water flow from the proposed proposed 18 cell 1ICT HCT is approximately approximately 342,306 gallons per minute (gpm). Again, this estimate assumes that the existing bank of modular towers would be replaced by the permanent case. 2.4 permanent SeTSCT associated with this uprate project, which may not necessarily be the Site Layout and Structures be
