RE: FPL"s Turkey Point Permit Comment Period Date:Friday, January 15, 2016 8:37:28 AM Good morning,

I am acting as the NRR/DORL Turkey Point Project Manager while the Lead PM (Audrey

Klett) is out of the office.

The comments below look to be intended for the official hearing record for this week's Turkey Point cooling canals hearing (Jan. 11, 2016 in Homestead, FL) but were submitted

via an OPA feedback form.

I am forwarding the comments to you-but I can provide

'Notice of Hearing' submittal requirements with this member of the public if needed. Please

let me know.

Thanks,Perry Buckberg Senior Project Manager Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 415-1383 O-08E03 From: Buckberg, Perry Sent: Friday, January 15, 2016 7:54 AM To: Hannah, Roger; Klett, Audrey; Williamson, Alicia Cc: Ledford, Joey

as requested and as appropriate.

This came in through our public web page and I'm not sure who should get it or if this

individual has provided these comments in some other manner, but I'm sending it to all of

you so that it hopefully gets to the right place.

Thanks, Roger Hannah, APR

comments: The old Turkey Point units are operating outside of permit limits regarding fresh cooling water flow, water temperature, salinity and radionuclides and the combined facility-contaminated groundwater and surface water loads to Biscayne Bay are causing or contributing to a violation of Water Quality Standards, and the routine operation of new Units 6 and 7 will just exacerbate these problems when the old units consume more fresh surface and ground water than they were originally allocated and more pollution assimilation capacities in the groundwater and surface water to which its regulated and unregulated discharges are effluent. In addition, FPL misrepresented the source of tritium in the groundwater underlying the facility and confluence with Biscayne Bay as primarily natural rather than unnatural in origin, a misrepresentation for which it was held to account by scientists working for the South Florida Water Management District under the aegis of its Executive Director, Carol Wehle. Please include these comments in the official hearings record on these issues. Operation of the old units should be scaled back until the more restrictive of the fresh water flow, temperature, or salinity on the source side or pollution load limits are met on the receiving waters side based on a USGS-approved, calibrated, and validated combined surface water-groundwater water quantity and quality model. This temporary emergency operating condition should continue until such time as the EIS for the combined operation of the old and new units are revised to reflect these new circumstances and the ability for FPL to provide the required reasonable assurances reconsidered.

Thank you.
