SECRETARY June 27, 2014 Sent by Electronic Mail - Document Access Verification Requested Matthew J. Raffenberg Environmental Services Director Florida Power and Light 6501 S. Ocean Drive Jensen Beach, Florida 34597 RE: Turkey Point Plant Units 3-5 (PA 03-45)
Amendment Request (AM14-074)
Request for Temporary Use of Water
Dear Mr. Raffenberg:
On June 27, 2014, the Florida Department of Environmental Protections (Department) Siting Coordination Office received a request from Florida Power and Light (FPL) for a post-certification amendment to the Turkey Point Plant Units 3 - 5 (TPP 5) Site Certification Application (SCA). The amendment request is for temporary use of water from the Floridan Aquifer wells authorized in Condition XX.C.1 to help decrease the temperature within the Turkey Point Plant Cooling Canal System (CCS) by directing water into the cooling canal in a manner that will not negatively impact wildlife. FPL has not requested to exceed the 14.06 MGD average daily withdrawal or the 4,599 MGY average annual withdrawal specified in Condition XX.C.1.
Based on a review of the information submitted on June 27, 2014, the Department has determined that this proposal has been properly characterized as an amendment, as it requests a material change to FPLs SCA pursuant to Section 403.5113(1), Florida Statute (F.S.), but does not require modification to the SCA. This letter serves as notification of the approval of the proposed amendment.
The CCS is currently experiencing higher than normal warm water conditions that could impact operations. The SFWMD has reviewed the request from FPL and supports this request for temporary use provided that the total use does not exceed the 14.06 MGD average daily withdrawal or the 4,599 MGY average annual withdrawal and that such withdrawals are included in the quarterly reports required in Condition XX.C.4.
Failure to comply with all existing requirements of the Conditions of Certification, pursuant to section 403.514, F.S. shall constitute a violation of Chapter 403. The Departments notification shall become final unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes (F.S.), within 21 days of receipt of this order. The procedures for petitioning for a hearing are set forth below.
