AUTHORIZED WATER SOURCES

• Bartow Reclaimed Effluent 1.86 MGD (actual)
• Plant Island Stormwater 0.67 MGD (actual)
• Direct Precipitation to Cooling Pond 2.87 MGD
  (approx. normal average)
• Additional Offsite Non-Potable Water Planned
• Water Cropping Up to 4.37 MGD (expected
  average)
• Groundwater
• 0 MGD for Power Blocks 1 and 2
• 17.5 MGD for Remaining Generation
• 12.5 MGD requires offset

22

ALTERNATIVE SOURCES ALREADY IN USE

• City of Bartow Reclaimed Effluent
• Plant Island Stormwater
• Direct Precipitation to Cooling Pond
• Additional Offsite Non-Potable Sources
• Water Cropping

23
TREATED EFFLUENT
24
USE OF BARTOW TREATED EFFLUENT

• THE BARTOW TREATED EFFLUENT PIPELINE IS A
  COOPERATIVE FUNDING PROJECT, A JOINT PARTNERSHIP
  BETWEEN THE PEACE RIVER BASIN BOARD AND FPC.

25
WATERCROP
26
OFFSET REQUIREMENT

• 12.5 MGD OF THE PROJECTED 17.5 MGD NEEDED MUST BE
  OFFSET BY AN APPROVED METHOD.
• APPROVED OFFSETS ARE EITHER RETIREMENT OF OTHER
  USAGE OR NEGOTIATED METHOD APPROVED BY SWFWMD.

27
HINES WATER RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

• The Hines Water Resource Development Program is
  an innovative partnership between Florida Power
  and the Public. This Program is a major
  component of FPCs efforts to conserve valuable
  state and regional natural resources.

28
FUTURE WATER SUPPLY INITIATIVES

• Aquifer Recharge and Recovery Project
• Tiger Bay Groundwater Transfer
• Peace River Water Supply Project

29
FUTURE WATER SUPPLY ARRP

• The Hines Aquifer Recharge Recovery Project
  (ARRP) is the linchpin in Progress Energys
  future plans both to provide water supply for its
  power generation needs and to augment regional
  water resources.

30
FUTURE WATER SUPPLY ARRP

• The fullscale ARRP is being implemented as a
  joint research project under a contract between
  FPC and the Southwest Florida Water Management
  District. The demonstration phase is a joint
  project between the Florida Institute of
  Phosphate Research and SWFWMD. Land and
  facilities provided by FPC.

EXAMPLE OFFSET

• 150 MG - Amount of water recharged
• Meeting primary secondary drinking water
  standards
• Providing additional recharge that would not
  occur
• 127.5 MG - Amount of groundwater available for
  withdrawal
• 85 of total amount recharged into aquifer
• Not to exceed a rate of 17.5 MGD (determined not
  to impact legal existing users)

37
ARRP Benefits

• Augments groundwater resources
• Regional applicability (e.g. can be done on mine
  lands and state lands in addition to private
  property)
• An actual project that implements the SWFWMD
  Water Supply Plan
• Creative project implemented through a
  cooperative public/private partnership

38
Additional Sources Under Consideration

• Polk County Treated Effluent
• Lakeland Treated Effluent
• Mulberry Treated Effluent
• Plant City Treated Effluent
• Lower Floridan Aquifer
• Various Industrial Wastewater Sources

39
Closing Thought

• Ever wonder about those people who spend 2.00
  apiece on those little bottles of Evian water?
  Try spelling Evian backwards.
