Notice of Intent State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Notice of Intent The Department of Environmental Protection hereby provides Notice of Intent to Issue a 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 a operation permit for a Class I injection well system. The project is located at 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, wastewater from an advanced water reclamation system, wastewater from a demineralized water production plant, and heat recovery steam generator blowdown water. Blowdown water from the Unit 5 cooling tower will be the majority of the waste stream and all fluids sent to the injection wells will be 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 (F.S.) 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. The Department will issue the permit unless a petition for an administrative hearing is timely filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., before the deadline for filing a petition. On the filing of a timely and sufficient petition, this action will not be final and effective until further order of the Department. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the hearing process may result in a modification of the agency action or even denial of the application. Petition for Administrative Hearing A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's action may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S.
