Excerpts from Minutes of Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Meeting, Monday May 8, 1972 AGREEMENT WATER QUALITY:
Monticello NSP Thermal Discharges:
Mr. Johannes briefed the members on this and following his presentation, Mr. Gary Welk of the NSP Company addressed the Agency.
He stated that he felt the problem was in the interpretation of the permit.
He said that NSP Company will operate the cooling towers on a helper basis 0
when intake temperatures are 68 (degrees) cr above.
This will roughly cover the period from Memorial Day through abor Day.
Following discussion from the members, Mrr.. Watson moved that the Agency accept the terms of this proposal as outlined by Mr. Welk but to operate 0
the cooling towers when the intake temperature is 68 F or above which is approximately from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but that the Agency maintain the right to amend this pending the results of the forthcoming hearing on thermal standards.
Dr. Olsen seconded,the motion and it carried unanimously.
