Murphy, District 5 County Commission Meeting April 20, 2016 Agenda Item Summary #1596 BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: BOCC District 3 TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Carol Schreck (305) 292-3430 After item N7 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution expressing Monroe County's concern over the threat posed to the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority's (FKAA) Florida City wellfields by the hypersaline plume emanating from Florida Power & Light Company's (FPL) Cooling Canal System (CCS) at FPL's Turkey Point facility and expressing Monroe County's desire to work cooperatively with Miami -Dade County and other agencies to protect those wellfields. ITEM BACKGROUND: FKAA provides potable water to the Florida Keys from water drawn from the Biscayne Aquifer through wellfields located near Florida City. FPL's Turkey Point facility is less than 10 miles away from the FKAA's wellfields. FPL uses water from it's unlined cooling canals in the operation of its nuclear power plants at Turkey Point. Miami -Dade County and others have determined that hypersaline water has leached through the unlined canals into the Biscayne Aquifer and the plume of hypersaline water is migrating westward towards the FKAA's wellfields. Left unchecked, this plume poses a threat to the FKAA's wellfields. The resolution invites Miami -Dade County, South Florida Water Management District, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection to open a dialog with Monroe County to develop comprehensive solutions to the westward migration of the plume, to remove the discharges from the cooling canal system into the Biscayne Aquifer in an expedited manner, and to address impacts to Biscayne Bay. The resolution also encourages the FKAA to take all necessary steps to protect the County's potable water supply and the wellfields and expresses the County's willingness to provide material support to the FKAA to enhance its current protective efforts. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On April 13, 2016, the Board authorized the Mayor to express the County's concerns in a letter to Miami -Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez and directed staff to prepare a resolution.

Department of Justice .that required the construction,, after permitting; .of a closed -loop cooling configuration, with no discharge to Surface waters. 4. T.Ile Florida Department of Pollution Control (later to become the Florida Department of Environmental Protection), in 1971, issued Construction Permit No. IC-1286 for the CCS. _ln 1972, Dade County issued. Zoning Use Permit No. W-49833 for the excavation. of the proposed Alternate Cooling Water •Return Canal. FPL represents that in 197.3, the construction of the CCS was completed; and the CCS was closed from the surface waters of both Biscayne Bay and Card Sound, becoming'a closed -loop system, S. An approximate 18 foot deep interceptor •ditcltJocated along the west side of the CCS was designed and constructed to create a hydraulic barrier to keep water hi the CCS from migrating inland or westward, 6. Tn 19.72, FPL entered into an agreement with the Central and.Southern Florida Flood Control District ;(later to become the South Florida Water iViatiagement District or "District") addressing, the operations and impacts of 11w CCS'. The agreement has been updated several times, 'with the most recent version being the -Fifth Supplemental Agreement between the District and FPL entered into on October 16, 2009 .("Fifth Supplemental Agreement") which included an extensive monitoring .program for the CCS, entitled the Turkey Point Plant Groundwater, Surface Water and Ecological Monitoring Plan (" 2009 Monitoring Plan"), incorporated as Exhibit A. of the Fifth Supplemental Agreement. 7. 1n a letter.dated April 16, 2013, the District notified FPL of their deter►nination that -saline -water from the CCS- has moved westward of the L-31E Canal in excess, of those amounts that would -have occurred without the existence of the CCS, and pursuant to the provisions of the Fifth Supplemental Agreement; initiated consultation with FPL for the' initigation, abatement or remediation of the saline water niovement. 8. DARM issued a.Notice of Vicilat gn dated October 2,.201.5 (;lie "NOV") to FPL, alleging violations of,Chapter 24 of the Code of Mlarni-Dade County, for alleged violations, of•County water �quauty standards and criteria in groundwater attributable to FPL's actions, and specifically for groundwaters outside the boundaries.of FPL's Cooling Canal System and beyond the boundaries of the Property. 2 9. The phrase "liypersaline water" as used herein is defined as water that exceeds 19,000 mg/L chlorides. 10. DERM maintains there is tlypersaline water attributable to FPL's.actions in the groundwaters outside the boundaries of (lie Properly, Which exceeds County water quality standards. and criteria; PPL Acknowledges, [fie presenoe of hypersxline, water .iii .certain areas outside the boundaries of the Piopeity. For waters .that do nat reach tile level of liypersalinity,,D.ER[vi and FPL do not agree on the applicable"background" standards for chlorides. H. In 20.13, and 2014, FPL eklierienced water quality issues, within the CCS, including increases in temperature and salinity, and FPL sought approvals from various regulatory agencies for actions to iriil rovethewater quality within the CCS. 12. DEP issued an Administrative.Order, No. 14-0741, on December 23, 2014, requiring FPL to, among other things, reduce and maintain 'the annual average salinity of the CCSat a practical:salinity of 34', and that Administrative Order is' currently thesubject'of an Administrative Hearing. 1.3. 13oth,DERM and FPL agree and acknowledge that it would be beneficial to improve the water,quality within the Cooli►ig Canal System itself, and FPL has already.undertaken some efforts to improve the CCS: water quality. 14, This -Consent Agreement requires FPL to take .action to address, .the County's alleged violations. of County water quality standards and criteria in groundwaters outside the CCS. .as described in the NOV. As part of these actions, this Consent Agreement also requires FPL to take into account its efforts to improve CCS water duality and the potential and actual. impacts of such actions on water resources outside the CCS, to not cause or contribute to (i) the exacerbation of. alleged violations of County water quality stanilai•ils or criteria or (ii) Riture violations of County water quality standard's Or criteria in the groundwaters or surface waters outside the CCS. 15..FPL: her by agrees to the terms of`this Consent Agreement without adiilitting the.all.egations•made'by the above -mentioned NOV. 3 16, In.an effort to expeditiously resolve .this matter and to ensure compliance with Chapter 24 .ofthe Code of Miaini-Dade County, and to avoid timeconsumi►ig and -costly. litigation, the parties Hereto agreeto the following,:and it is ORDERED: REQUIREMENTS .17.

Plant. The Cooling Canal System was constructed till the early. 1970s and serves as Turkey Point's Industrial Waste Water Treatment Facility, In that function, the Cooling, Canal System serves as the heat sink for the power plant .and it also receives lhdustrial waste water discharges front plant operations, The Codling Cana{. System water removes excess neat from power plant operations. and is then returned 'to the Coolly g:'Cariai' System where it eaols li . eVaporation_ As a result of the. evaporatlon: process, cfiem'ieal constituents in cooling canal water such as dissolved salts become, more concentrated, Historical .data ,indicate that, initial salinity '(dissol,ved'salts levels ,in the Cooling Canal 'System ii'n 1M Were less than 30 p'raoticol salinity units and' were lower than levels typical of marine wgiters Such as Biscayne Bay''. ';However,, long term monitoring data indicate that water quality within Elie Cooling' Canal Systern has deteriorated over. time. The. Cooling Canal System' ,is a "closer! loop'' system. because it is'not directly connected to adjoining. suIrface waters; Hov�ievei{lie porous geology of the underlying, Biscayne Aquifer allows water from the Cooling Canal System to move freely through the ground beyond, the titbits ;of the Cooling canal System and beyond the property boundaries of the Turkey Point Ponder Plant. This creates cgncerns with potential {rnpac#s .ot` the poorer quality Coaling 'Canal System water .reaching sensitive, water-resources,beyond the boundaries -of the C.'ooling; Canal System. Histo _ In October 2008, FPL received approval from the State of Florida to modifythe existing nuclear p'oWer plant units to increase their Power generating capacity (referred -to as an "Uprate" or the "Uprate project"). Asa condition of ;that approval, FPL implemented an enhanced mon{toring plari to evaluate, the potential water quality impacts associated' with IMplementation of the Uprate and the Cooling Canal System: Following commencement of construction on the. power Plant Uprate work at. Turkey Point it! .early ,2012, water, quality in the Cooling Canal .S:ysterin further deteriorated- ultimately affecting the.heat p' change ca'pa;cfty of the water in,the Cooling Canal SysteC. 'By summer of '201:4, salinity levels in. the 'Cooling Canal S,ystern had reached a record high of more than .00 ip;,ractical,saliriity units, which is approx.'iiriatelyth7 ee (3) times the salinity levels typical for; Slscayne, ay. In addition, intake water temperature in the Cooling Canal System 'had exceeded. the federal operating license criteria of 100 ,degrees Fahrenheit, .reaching nearly 102 degrees Fahrenheit and .requiring FPL to seek and obtain approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Cominisslon fora new intake operating terhperatul'elimit of 104 degrees:Fahrenheit. In order '40 °address emerging operationalconcerns with the Cooling Canal System, 'FPL proposed'to improve water quality by ;pumping additional water into the .Cooling Canal' System. Under this approach, I=PL sought approval, for use of w►fei- from the L-3'1 E Canal as a temporarysaurbe of'fresf Vvater to improve wafer quality in the Cooling=Canal System, 1'ri August 2014, the South Florida Water ,anagemerit District issued an Emergency Order' to FPL authorizing the temporary installation' of pipelines and associated eq,uipnieni to transfer water from the L 3.1E Canal to the Cooling Canal. System to moderate 'the unusually, high teniperatu"res and salinity in the Cooling Canal System. 'In September 20114, the Board of CaUhty Co.mmis5toners (Board), approved Class I permit application CLI'2014-0312 authorizing 0:2.4' a6res of temporary impacts to. halophytic ;(salt tolerant): wetlands 'for the temporar•) installation of two, Minch alcove -:ground pipelines to facilitate the transfer of water from fhe L- 81F Canal to the Cooling .CanaI S;ystt m in an atterript to address the, higfier salinity 8nd,highpr Page 'l temperatures in.the;?Qbofljng Canal System.

On Cctgber 2, 2Q 15, the alyision of Environmental' Resources Management (DER[Jlj �rrithin the Oepa.rtment of Regulatory and Economic Resources issued 'FPL a Notice of Violation and ,Notice for Corrective Action for violations of the County's, water quality standards for chloride in groundtinater outside of the Cooling Canal System and beyond. the boundaries of the property (Attac -neht B). FPL expressed a willingness to address the County's concerns by implerionting correetiVe actions,, and DERM and FPL met to discuss required actions: On October 'j, 2015; FPL entered into�a Consent Agreement with Miami -Dade County (Attachment �C): The. C.orisent Agreement includes components of a Long term plan for FPL to ,address water ,quality issues associated with.the Cooling; Canal. :System. Thetonsent Agreement requires'FPL to implement actions to abate water quality within the Cooling Canal System to reduce the threat the system poses to adjoining, 1NOter resources: To address this issue, FPL proposes :to use water'from wells constructed into the Florida Aquifer to supply water to the Cooling Canal Sysiern to: control salinity tliat- Would. otherwise continue to increase due to evaporation. In a�dditiori, the.Co,nseiit Agreeirr'ent requires FPL to 'eernediate water quality impacts of the .hyper- saline plume that has migrated' landward outside the boundaries of "the property; To addres's this issue, iFFL is obligated under the Gonsent Agreement to design and construct a .network of .groundwater extraction wells- along the landward boundary of the facility to capture, contain,, and retract flies hyper -saline iplulme. The wells will extract, hyper=saline water from the sq ici:al Blscay`ne Aquifer and dispose of it via deep well injection into the boulder zone bf the Floridan Aquifer. Other components of the!Consent Agreer ent require FPL to; a) evaluate other 5ource,s of'water,to control salinity In the Cooling Canal System including the.use of reuse water from, the Countys'S'ouib District Waste Water Treatnient Plant; h) evaluate existing operations of the ,Cooling Canal System Interceptor Ditch originally irriplemented 'to control the westward mlgratiori of saline water froth .the Cooling' Canal System to identify improvements or alternativ,ps; c), Imodify water management:, operations at. their neighboring FPL-owned EvergladesMitigation Bank, to minimize overdrainage of ;the basin, wrr.hich is under existing pressure of salt Jin.'rusioii exacerbated. by the westward migration of the hyper -saline Cooling Canal, System groundwater plume;, d.) provide fIg1Nage easements to the South Florida Water Mahagement District if required;, and e) agree to work cooperatively with agencies involved in ,regional restoration efforts related to the Comprehonsive Everglades Restoration Plan Biscayne Bay ,Coastal Wbtlands Project brie other hydrol'o'gic inipro,ybment projects. FPL is presently implementing the 'requirements of the Gonsent,Agree'rhent: As previously stated; monitoring data indicate that a hyper-salihe groundwater plume originating from the Cooling CanalSystem has )migrated landward and is impacting water quality. Factors that affect movement of CoolingiGanal,System water and, ihe;groundwater plume: -include 'water, elevation (or stage.) in the areas surrounding tlie' Cooling Canal 'Systeem; the stage of,the, water in -the :Cooling Canal System, and the density: of the various, Water segments. In addition.to the existing avatar quality monitoring, netvrorh associated with previous State and Count} p provaIs (and due 'to eo,ncer'ns. with potential! offsite migratrorl -of Cooling Canal System water as a ire.sult .of.ptar73ping pdditiorial. water from fhe L31 E Canal and other sources into tha Cooling Canal System), the modified: Class I permit required that additional i bh1tdNng. stations be estebli8h,ed. do partipular, the 'permit required that FPL establish Water quality monitoring stations immediately adjacent tQ the Caaling Canal SysteM in :surface waters tidally conhected . to Biscayne Bay.
