State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Notice of Draft Permit The Department of Environmental Protection hereby provides notice that it has prepared a draft permit for the proposed project as detailed in the application, subject to the conditions specified in the draft permit and summarized below. The applicant, Florida Power & Light Company, Nicholas Campbell, Regional Plant General Manager, 9700 Southwest 344th Street, Homestead, Florida 33035 applied on February 10, 2026, for permits to operate two Class I injection wells. The project is located at the Turkey Point Clean Energy Center - Clean Water Recovery Center, 9760 Southwest 344th Street, Homestead, Florida 33035, in Miami-Dade County (File 0395089-003-004-UO/1I, WACS ID 106814). The permittee will operate two, Class I injection wells (DIW-2 and DIW-3) for the disposal of non-hazardous cooling tower blowdown water associated with power generation Unit 5 of the Clean Energy Center, Clean Water Recovery Center (CWRC) plant reject water, CWRC wastewater treatment residuals, and other wastewater from the Unit 5 power generation process such as reject and backwash from the process water treatment system and heat recovery steam generator blowdown water. Reclaimed water from the Miami-Dade County South District Wastewater Treatment Plant (SDWWTP), that is further treated by the CWRC prior to use, is the primary source of Unit 5 cooling water. Groundwater from the Upper Floridan aquifer is used as an auxiliary source of cooling water when reclaimed water from the SDWWTP is unavailable in the required quantity or does not meet quality specifications. Thus, the blowdown water sent to the injection wells is concentrated CWRC effluent or groundwater. Reclaimed water from the SDWWTP not meeting CWRC influent water quality specifications is diverted directly to the injection well system. Blowdown water from the Unit 5 cooling tower is the majority of the waste stream and all fluids sent to the injection wells are non-hazardous. Injection wells DIW-2 and DIW-3 are each constructed with a 24-inch outside diameter casing set to 2,853 and 2,868 feet below land surface (bls), respectively, an 18-inch nominal-size tubing set to 2,843 and 2,858 feet bls, respectively, with a fluid-filled annulus (tubing and packer design), and total drilled depths of 3,044 and 3,140 feet bls, respectively. The maximum injection rate for DIW-2 shall be 12,362 gallons per minute (gpm) and the maximum injection volume for DIW-2 shall be 17.8 million gallons per day (mgd) at a peak, hourly flow velocity of 18.44 feet per second (fps) in the injection tubing and a theoretical flow velocity of 9.55 fps in the injection casing during normal operation. The maximum injection rate for DIW-3 shall be 10,518 gpm and the maximum injection volume for DIW-3 shall be 15.2 mgd at a peak, hourly flow velocity of 15.69 fps in the injection tubing and a theoretical flow velocity of 8.12 fps in the injection casing during normal operation. The dual-zone monitor well (DZMW-2) is completed in the Floridan aquifer with an upper monitor zone at 1,125 to 1,173 feet bls and a lower monitor zone at 1,550 to 1,596 feet bls. The Department has permitting jurisdiction under Chapter 403 of the Florida Statutes and the rules adopted thereunder. The project is not exempt from permitting procedures. The Department has determined that an Underground Injection Control permit is required for the proposed work. Any interested person may submit written comments on the draft permit and may request a public meeting within 30 days after publication of this public notice. A request for a public meeting shall be submitted in writing and shall state the nature of the issues proposed to be raised in the meeting. If a public meeting is later scheduled, there will be another 30-day notice period for that meeting. Written comments or a public meeting request shall be submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection, Aquifer Protection Program, 2600 Blair Stone Road, MS 3530, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, which is the office processing this permit application. All comments received within the 30-day period will be considered in formulation of the Department's final decision regarding permit issuance. The files associated with this order are available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except state holidays, at the Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast District, and at the Department of Environmental Protection, Aquifer Protection Program office in Tallahassee. Any additional information concerning this project may be obtained by contacting Rufus Dickey, Professional Geologist III, at 850-245-7580. IPL0340717 May 20 2026
