SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FOR CLEAN ENERGYS NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) hereby provides notice of its withdrawal from this subsequent license renewal proceeding. As Parties to Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Tropical Audubon Society, Inc., and Friends of the Everglades, Inc. v. Florida Power & Light Co., No. 1:16-cv-23017-DPG (filed Oct. 11, 2016) (Clean Water Act litigation). SACE and Florida Power & Light Co. (FPL) have entered into a tentative global settlement of their disputes regarding the Cooling Canal System (CCS) for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. SACE is withdrawing from this proceeding as part of the global settlement.

At the Parties request, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida has stayed the Clean Water Act litigation, with the anticipation that it will be dismissed once the settlement is finalized. The Parties anticipate that the settlement will be finalized over the next 120 days.

The settlement will include proposed revisions to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit for the CCS to address salinity of groundwater and other measures to improve water quality in Biscayne Bay.

SACE submits this notice of withdrawal without prejudice to the other intervenors (Natural Resources Defense Council, Friends of the Earth, and Miami Waterkeeper), the issues they have raised, or the arguments they have made.

Respectfully submitted,
