SCOPE A. Pursuant to sections 403.501-518, Florida Statutes (F.S.), the Florida Electrical Power Plant Siting Act (PPSA), this certification is issued to Progress Energy Florida, Inc. (PEF)as owner/operator of the Crystal River Energy Complex. Subject to the requirements contained in these Conditions of Certification (Conditions)
PEF will operate one 1,080 MW (nominal)nuclear plant (Unit 3), and a 1,437 MW (nominal) facility consisting of two coal-fired units (Units 4 & 5) and ancillary equipment.
These units are located on a 4,738-acre site which is located in Citrus County, Florida. UTM coordinates are: Zone 17; 334.3 km East; 3,204.5 km North. The Department recognizes that Nuclear Unit 3 and Fossil Units 4 and 5 are under the control of different divisions of PEF. Unless otherwise specified, PEF shall be responsible for the compliance with the conditions herein. The Department does not intend, solely by the March 2010 incorporation of these General Conditions, to require the retrofitting of existing certified facilities.
Violation of any conditions specific to Units 3, 4, or 5 shall solely affect the license of the responsible generating units. These General Conditions shall be applicable to all areas of the certified site. Compliance with the General Conditions shall be the joint responsibility of Progress Energy Nuclear Plant (Unit 3) and Progress Energy Fossil Fuel Plant (Units 4 and 5).Any violation of a General Condition shall be a violation by Progress Energy Florida. Existing Units 1 and 2 are not subject to this certification or these conditions B. These Conditions of Certification, unless specifically amended or modified, are binding upon Licensee and shall apply to the construction, operation and maintenance of the certified facility.

The Licensee shall notify the Department of any change to the site boundary.The notification shall be accompanied by an updated land survey (or legal description) and aerial photograph delineating the new boundaries of the site. Absent the above description/delineation of the site, the Department will consider the perimeter fence line of the property on which the plant is located to be the boundaries of the site.D. If the boundaries of the Certified Area are different than the boundaries of the Site, the Licensee shall comply with the requirements of this paragraph.
By March 1, 2011 the Licensee shall provide to the Department:
a survey map signed by a professional land surveyor, or acceptable equivalent documentation such as an official legal description, delineating the boundaries of the certified area; and an aerial photograph delineating the boundaries of the certified area.
