Dear Mr.Zeller:

Florida Power R Light respectfully requests an extension of the referenced NPDES Permit condition to April 15, 1981.A copy of the Part III, Item K is attached and highlighted.

The application for St.Lucie Unit 1 NPDES Permit was submitted in April of 1980 and the application for Unit 2 will be submitted on or before April 15, 1981.As Mr.Kaplan of your staff is aware, the St.Lucie Unit No.2 NPDES application has been available in almost final form since September 1980 as per conversations with Frank M.Gavila and myself.Submittal of the completed application has been delayed due to FPRL's desire to ensure consistency with the petition for amendment to the St.Lucie Unit No.2 State of Florida Site Certification Conditions.

Action by FPRL at the State level will commence shortly.It is my understanding that the official filing date at the U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the Environmental Report Operating License Stage for St.Lucie Plant Unit No.2 has been reported to the company to be February 17, 1981.Mr.Kaplan has determined that the St.Lucie Unit No.2 NPDES application

.submittal requirement is triggered under Part III, K page 15 of 16 of the St.Lucie No.1 NPDES permit.To avoid any administrative difficulties within EPA and to insure FPRL has the needed flexibility to obtain consistency with the NPDES permit issued by EPA and the Conditions of State Site Certification of the State of Florida, FPRL needs the above requested extension of time.Mr.Kaplan has agreed verbaQy that this request for extension of time should pose no PEOPLE...SERVING PEOPLE Mr.Howard Zeller Page Two March 6, 1981 administrative problems regarding the processing of FPL's NPDES Permit for St.Lucie Unit No.2.It is FPRL s desire to work closely with your staff in handling the St.Lucie Unit No.2 permit administrative process.Please advise via telephone if this request meets with your approval.Sincerely, Manager Environmental Permitting dc Programs W JBjr:FMG:ku cc: Charles Kaplan
