Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Re: St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 NPDES Permit FL0002208 Modification Attachment 1 is an information copy of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit modification, which was issued by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency on October 25, 1994. This document is being sent pursuant to Section 3.2.3 of the St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Environmental Protection Plan. Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) delayed submitting the permit change because page I-11 of this permit change had errors in the SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE section when issued. FPL Environmental Affairs Department has been working with the U.S. Environmental Protectign Agency (USEPA) to correct the page. Since the USEPA has taken much longer than expected to issue the correction, this permit change is being transmitted as issued and the correction will be submitted when received.

On May 1, 1995, USEPA granted administration authority of the NPDES program to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Attachment 2 is an information copy of the State of Florida regulation (DEP 62-620) which the FDEP will use to implement transfer of administrative authority. In accordance with Section 62-620.105(10), FDEP should be issuing a letter to FPL modifying the Permit to reflect this transfer.

Florida Power and Light Company Post Office Box 008801 North Palm Beach, Florida 33408-8801.

is authorized to discharge from a facility located at St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2 Hutchinson Island St. Lucie County, Florida to receiving waters named Atlantic Ocean: from outfall serial numbers 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, and 007.

Mangrove Impoundment 8E: from outfall serial number 006C.

in accordance with effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, and other conditions set forth herein. The permit consists of this cover sheet, Part Z 11 pages, Part ZI 16 pages, Part III 4 pages, Part ZV 6 pages, and Part V 2 pages.

This permit became effective on January 1, 1994.

This modification allows for the dischaxge of non-industrial related storm water into the Mangrove Impoundment 8E, through Outfall 006C. In allowing so, 006C's discharge location has been changed to reflect the Mangrove Impoundment 8E and not the Intake Canal. Monitoring for oil and grease has been added for Outfall 006C on Page Z-10.

Outfalls 006A and 008 were deleted, upon request, by the permittee, on Page I-9. Page I-9 has been removed and subsequent pages have been renumbered. Only Pages Z-9, I-10 and I-11 are enclosed.

The modification shall become effective'on November 1 1994.
