Impacts from Once-through Cooling
Impingement in intakes: adult fish and other large organisms, including (e.g., turtles)
Entrainment through the plant: larval fish and other plankton, 100% mortality

OTC – What?
Federal and State Law
- Section 316(b) CWA
Federal Regulation
- 40 CRF 125.90(b)
State Policy (ETA: June 2008)

OTC – What?
Permitting authorities must develop case-by-case best professional judgment controls for existing facility cooling water intake structures that reflect the best technology available for minimizing environmental impact
[40 CFR 125.90 (b)]

Existing Coastal Power Plants
19 active plants with approximately 16 billion gallons per day sent through the once-through cooling water systems.

OTC – Costs?
Will depend upon approach taken by the State Board
State Board welcomes constructive input
Make sure they are aware of plant-specific facts
24
OTC - Coordination
State Board and ISO State Board and CEC/PUC State Board and
Stakeholders Understanding that rollout
schedule must take into account reliability
