Outfall #002: Cooling Tower The cooling tower at Callaway is 553 feet tall and 430 feet in diameter at the base. It cools approximately 585,000 gallons of water per minute when the facility is operating at full power. About 11 ,000 gallons per minute are lost from the top through evaporation, and up to another 5,000 gallons per minute are sent to the Missouri River as "blowdown" to flush suspended solids from the cooling tower basin. This water is replaced with water from the river, which is five miles south of the energy center. The cooling tower basin holds 11 million gallons of water. The water is 12 feet deep under the tower, and 20 feet deep at the intake to the circulating water pumps that pump the water through the energy center. The temperature of the water going into the tower is 125 °Fahrenheit. | Outfall #002: Cooling Tower The cooling tower at Callaway is 553 feet tall and 430 feet in diameter at the base.

The intent is that all permits within a watershed will move through the Watershed Based Management (WBM) cycle together will all expire in the same fiscal year. This will allow further streamlining by placing multiple permits within a smaller geographic area on public notice simultaneously, thereby reducing repeated administrative efforts. This will also allow the department to explore a watershed based permitting effort at some point in the future. Renewal applications must continue to be submitted within 180 days of expiration, however, in instances where effluent data from the previous renewal is less than three years old, that data may be re-submitted to meet the requirements of the renewal application. | The intent is that all permits within a watershed will move through the Watershed Based Management (WBM) cycle together will all expire in the same fiscal year.

If the permit provides a schedule of compliance for meeting new water quality based effluent limits beyond the expiration date of the permit, the time remaining in the schedule of compliance will be allotted in the renewed permit. PUBLIC NOTICE: The Department shall give public notice that a draft permit has been prepared and its issuance is pending. Additionally, public notice will be issued if a public hearing is to be held because of a significant degree of interest in and water quality concerns related to a draft permit. No public notice is required when a request for a permit modification or termination is denied; however, the requester and permittee must be notified of the denial in writing. The Department must issue public notice of a pending oper:ating permit or of a new or reissued statewide general permit. The public comment period is the length of time not less than 30 days following the date of the public notice which interested persons may submit written comments about the proposed permit. For persons wanting to submit comments regarding this proposed operating permit, then please refer to the Public Notice page located at the front of this draft operating permit.
