246STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
250The issue to be resolved in this proceeding is whether
260certification should be granted to the Orlando Utilities
268Commission ("OUC"), Kissimmee Utility Authority (" KUA "), Florida
279Municipal Power Agency (" FMPA "), and Southern Company Florida,
290LLC ("Southern-Florida") for Curtis H. Stanton Unit A at the
302Stanton Energy Center in Orlando, Florida, in accordance with the
312pertinent provisions of Sections 403.501 through 403.518, Florida
320Statutes.
321PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
323This proceeding arose on the application by OUC, KUA, FMPA,
333and Southern-Florida ("the Applicants") for a supplemental power
343plant site certification for the proposed Stanton Unit A and
353associated facilities ("the Stanton Unit A project"). The
363Stanton Unit A Project and the application include construction
372of a proposed on-site 230 kilovolt ("kV") transmission line to
384connect to the existing on-site substation. Substation No. 17
393(the Stanton Energy Center main substation) will be expanded to
403the west to accommodate the new transmission line. The Stanton
413Unit A Project also includes construction of a proposed off-site
423natural gas pipeline in the existing Stanton Energy Center
432railroad corridor to connect to the existing Florida Gas
441Transmission (" FGT") pipeline located approximately two miles
450south of the Stanton Energy Center site boundary.
458The Florida Public Service Commission (" PSC") issued a
468determination of need for Stanton Unit A on May 14, 2001, in
480accordance with Section 403.519, Florida Statutes.
486The certification hearing was held as noticed on June 26,
4962001, in accordance with Section 403.508(3), Florida Statutes.
504All notices required by law were timely published in accordance
514with Section 405.501 et seq. , Florida Statutes. The final
523hearing was conducted for the purpose of receiving evidence

925The SJRWMD had one exhibit admitted into evidence, SJRWMD-1,
934which was Mr. Hollingshead's résumé.
939Opportunity was afforded for members of the general public
948to appear; however, no members of the public appeared.
957Upon concluding the taking of evidence, OUC, KUA, FMPA and
967Southern-Florida elected to order a Transcript of the proceedings
976which was filed with the Division on July 9, 2001. A Jointly
988Filed Proposed Recommended Order was timely submitted and has
997been considered in the rendition of this Recommended Order.
1006FINDINGS OF FACT
10091. OUC is a 28 percent owner of Unit A of the Curtis H.
1023Stanton Energy Center. FMPA is a 3.5 percent owner of Unit A of
1036the Curtis H. Stanton Energy Center. KUA is a 3.5 percent owner
1048of Unit A of the Curtis H. Stanton Energy Center. Southern-
1059Florida is a 65 percent owner of Unit A of the Curtis H. Stanton
1073Energy Center.
10752. Stanton Unit 1 (net rating of 440 MW) and Unit 2 (net
1088rating of 446 MW), and associated facilities, are existing
1097certified coal-fired units at the site. Stanton Units 1 and 2
1108operate under Certification Order PA 81-14, originally issued on
1117December 15, 1982, and supplemented on December 17, 1991, for the
1128addition of Stanton Unit 2. The Certification Order has been
1138subsequently modified in April 1993, July 1995, December 1997,
1147and August 1998. These units went into commercial operation in
11571987 and 1996, respectively. The Stanton Energy Center site is
1167certified for ultimate certification of 2,000 MW of coal or
1178natural gas-fired capacity.
11813. The Stanton Energy Center site, which is located
1190approximately 10 miles southeast of Orlando, encompasses
1197approximately 3,280 acres in eastern Orange County. Of the 3,280
1209acres, 1,100 acres have been allocated for development of power
1220generation and support facilities. The proposed Stanton Unit A
1229will be constructed on approximately 60 acres of that 1,100
1240acres.
12414. DEP is an agency of the State of Florida designated as
1253the lead agency for the review and evaluation of site
1263certification applications, in accordance with the various
1270provisions of the Florida Electrical Power Plant Siting Act,
1279Sections 403.501-403.518, Florida Statutes, and related rules
1286cited and discussed elsewhere herein.
12915. Notice of the certification hearing was accorded to all
1301parties entitled thereto as well as to the general public.
13116. The existing Stanton Energy Center began commercial
1319operation in 1987. It currently consists of two coal-fired units
1329known as Units 1 and 2, two natural draft cooling towers, a
1341cooling water supply pond, a solid waste disposal area, an
1351electrical switchyard, transmission lines, a railroad spur,
1358access roads, and a reclaimed water pipeline.
13657. The on-site facilities of the Stanton Unit A project
1375will consist of a General Electric 7FA combined cycle unit
1385consisting of two combustion turbines, two heat recovery steam
1394generators (" HRSGs "), a steam turbine generator, cooling tower,
1404wastewater treatment facilities, fuel oil and water storage
1412tanks, and natural gas delivery and metering facilities.
1420Additionally, a new 230 kV transmission line will be constructed
1430to connect Stanton Unit A with OUCs existing on-site Stanton
1440Energy Center Substation No. 17. The connecting line will be
1450totally within the certified site. Stanton Unit A will have a
1461total nameplate rating of 791 mega volt amperes (" MVA") and a
1474nominal rating of approximately 633 MW.
1480PSC Need Determination
14838. On May 14, 2001, the Public Service Commission issued
1493Order No. PSC-01-1103-FOF-EM determining the need for the
1501proposed combined cycle Stanton Unit A to be constructed at
1511Stanton Energy Center.
1514Scheduling
15159. Mobilization and physical construction of Stanton Unit A
1524are scheduled to begin the fourth quarter of 2001, with
1534commercial operation commencing October 2003.
1539Generating Units
154110. Stanton Unit A will be a General Electric 7FA combined
1552cycle unit consisting of two combustion turbines, two HRSGs, and
1562a steam turbine generator. The unit will burn natural gas as a
1574primary fuel and will be capable of burning low sulfur No. 2 oil
1587as backup fuel.
159011. With the addition of Stanton Unit A, the generating
1600capacity at the Stanton Energy Center will be a nominal 1,519 MW.
1613Transmission Facilities
161512. OUCs existing transmission system consists of 26
1623substations interconnected through approximately 302 miles of 230
1631kV and 115 kV lines and cables. The addition of Stanton Unit A
1644will require the construction of a new, on-site, 230kV
1653transmission line to connect Stanton Unit A with the existing on-
1664site Stanton Energy Center Substation No. 17. The total length
1674of the transmission line will be approximately 3,000 feet. The
1685transmission line will be a single-circuit, heavy-duty, single-
1693pole transmission line. The transmission line structures will be
1702steel poles with drilled concrete pier foundations or self-
1711supporting concrete poles. Both structure types will be capable
1720of supporting a double-circuit configuration. In conjunction
1727with the proposed transmission line, the existing OUC Substation
1736No. 17 will be expanded to the west to accommodate the new 230 kV
1750transmission line. The proposed transmission line route will be
1759located entirely within the existing Stanton Energy Center
1767property. Construction of a portion of the line will require
1777clearing approximately 0.4 acres of cypress strand and
1785permanently filling 0.57 acres of herbaceous wetlands. Overall,
1793adverse environmental impacts from the construction of the new
1802transmission line are expected to be minimal. The proposed
1811transmission line has been routed to minimize impacts on wetlands
1821as much as possible. Orange County and OUC have determined that
1832mitigation for such impacts consists of the granting of a
1842conservation easement of in-kind wetlands to offset the wetland
1851impacts.
1852Natural Gas Pipeline Lateral
185613. A 4-1/2 mile long, 16-inch lateral to a FGT line in
1868Orange County will provide the natural gas to fuel Stanton Unit
1879A. The pipeline lateral will originate at the crossing of the
189026-inch FGT gas supply line and OUC's railroad corridor, which is
19012-1/2 miles south of the Stanton Energy Center, and will
1911terminate at Stanton Unit A. OUC owns a 300-foot wide corridor
1922that contains a railroad spur, unimproved maintenance road, and a
1932230 kV transmission line. The gas pipeline will be installed
1942within this existing corridor. All fuel handling and metering
1951facilities will meet the applicable requirements as specified in
1960Chapter 25-12, Florida Administrative Code, and will meet all
1969applicable requirements of the United States Department of
1977Transportation ("DOT") (49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 192)
1988as amended by the Materials Transportation Bureau.
1995Wastewater Treatment
199714. Process wastewaters consist of oil/water separator
2004effluent, chemical wastes, steam cycle (boiler) blowdown, and
2012evaporative cooling tower blowdown. Oil/water separator effluent
2019will be routed to the existing Stanton Energy Center recycle
2029basin where it will be reused in Stanton Units 1 and 2 flue gas
2043desulfurization and ash systems. Cooling tower and evaporative
2051cooler blowdown will be treated in a new brine concentrator
2061system. The brine concentrator system recovers a large amount of
2071the water in the blowdown and recycles it to the cooling towers.
2083Boiler blowdown from the HRSGs will be routed to the Stanton Unit
2095A cooling tower for reuse.
210015. Sanitary wastewater produced during normal plant
2107operations will be collected and routed to a new septic system
2118and tile field. The 30 new employees expected to be associated
2129with Stanton Unit A will increase sanitary wastes by
2138approximately 900 gallons per day (" gpd").
2146Well Field
214816. Groundwater withdrawals are currently taken from the
2156two existing on-site, deep wells that serve the Stanton Energy
2166Center. The Stanton Energy Center site is currently authorized
2175to pump up to two million gallons per day (" mgd") for plant
2189service water, demineralization, drinking and sanitary water.
2196This allocation will also supply Stanton Unit A service water,
2206potable water, and demineralization demands.
221117. In lieu of using additional groundwater, the Applicants
2220have agreed to diligently and in good faith pursue an agreement
2231with Orange County to transfer up to 8.0 mgd of surface water
2243(including stormwater/surficial groundwater) from the adjacent
2249Orange County Landfill property for use at the Stanton Energy
2259Center facility.
2261Fuel Supply and Storage
226518. A new 1.68 million gallon, above-ground fuel oil
2274(No. 2) storage tank will be added at the Stanton Energy Center
2286for Stanton Unit A.
229019. The construction, materials, installation, and use of
2298the bulk storage tank will conform to American Petroleum Industry
2308("API") Standard 650, American Institute of Steel Construction
2318(" AISC"), American Society for Testing and Materials (" ASTM"),
2330National Electric Code ("NEC"), and Occupational Safety and
2340Health Administration (" OSHA") standards. The location of the
2350storage tank is indicated on the Site Arrangement, Figure 2.1-3
2360of the Supplemental Site Certification Application, Volume 2.
236820. Fuel will be delivered to the vertical oil storage
2378tanks by tanker truck and/or rail. The containment area for each
2389fuel oil tank is provided by an earthen berm. The berm is
2401designed to meet the DEP requirements to provide containment for
2411both 110 percent of the storage capacity of the largest tank
2422within the impoundment and a sufficient allowance for the design
2432(10 year, 24 hour) rainfall storm event (approximately 7 inches).
2442In addition, the containment area is constructed with a synthetic
2452liner. The liner is sufficiently impermeable to ensure that no
2462oil can escape by infiltrating through the liner and soil and
2473into surface or groundwaters, as required by DEP regulation.
248221. The fuel oil truck unloading station is located
2491northwest of the existing coal units, as indicated on the Site
2502Arrangement. The station spill containment consists of above-
2510ground and double-walled below grade piping running to the
2519storage tanks outside and inside the earthen berm area. The
2529station also includes a manually operated isolation valve and a
2539check valve immediately adjacent to the unloading station. This
2548allows immediate isolation of the piping system from a spill at
2559the delivery truck and prevents backflow spillage of oil from the
2570system.
257122. The existing Spill Prevention, Control and
2578Countermeasures Plan and Facility Response Plan will be modified
2587as required to include Stanton Unit A facilities.
2595Foundation Stability
259723. The strata beneath the Stanton Energy Center site to a
2608depth of about 200 feet are divided into five stratigraphic
2618layers: a surficial sand layer, an intermediate cohesive layer,
2627a lower sand layer, a lower cohesive layer, and limestone
2637bedrock. The surficial sand layer consists of 32 to 71 feet of
2649heterogeneous arrangement of loose to dense, gray to brown sand,
2659silty sand, and clayey sand, with an intermittent thin clay
2669layer. Underlying the surficial layer is 4 to 15 feet of soft to
2682stiff, gray to brown highly plastic clay, sandy clay, and silty
2693clay, with occasional shell fragments. The intermediate cohesive
2701layer varies in thickness from 78 to 81 feet.
271024. Foundations for Stanton Unit A are to be similar to the
2722foundation types utilized for Stanton Units 1 and 2. Heavily
2732loaded, settlement sensitive structures within the existing
2739Stanton Energy Center are supported on deep foundations
2747consisting of friction piling. More lightly loaded structures
2755are anticipated to be supported on shallow footings or mats. The
2766existing Stanton Units 1 and 2 foundations have been performing
2776very satisfactorily since installation.
2780Archeological and Historic Sites
278425. In March 1981, the Florida Department of State,
2793Division of Archives, History, and Records Management determined
2801that the existing site did not contain significant archaeological
2810or historical resources. Construction of Stanton Unit A is
2819unlikely to affect any properties listed, or eligible for
2828listing, in the National Register.
2833Land-Use Compatibility
283526. The new construction at Stanton Energy Center will not
2845generate sufficient noise to negatively affect any local
2853residents. Construction noise levels for foundation construction
2860and equipment erection are estimated to be approximately 55
2869decibels (" dBA") at the north property boundary and approximately
288045 dBA at the nearest residence. The site clearing stage noise
2891emissions are anticipated to be 5 dBA less than the equipment
2902erection noise emissions. Noise levels during operation will
2910decrease from that which is expected during site clearing and
2920construction.
292127. The construction noise associated with Stanton Unit A
2930is not anticipated to be significant. The undeveloped
2938surrounding area, as well as the vegetative buffer and physical
2948distance to the nearest residences, will all mitigate the
2957intermittent disturbance.
2959affic impacts of Stanton Unit A construction are
2967expected to have a slight impact on area roadways. However, this
2978temporary impact will not have any lasting, significant adverse
2987impact on the roadways and intersections in the vicinity of the
2998Stanton Energy Center. During operation of Stanton Unit A, no
3008significant impacts on area traffic are expected and no new off-
3019site roads or road improvements will be required.
3027Socioeconomic Impacts
302929. The construction of Stanton Unit A will have a positive
3040impact on the local economy, providing approximately 300 jobs at
3050the peak of construction during the 24-month construction period.
3059The vast majority of the construction work force is expected to
3070be filled by workers already residing in the study area, which
3081consists of Brevard, Osceola, Orange, Lake, and Seminole
3089Counties. The estimated construction payroll is $28 million (in
30982001 dollars).
310030. There will be no significant, long-term increase in
3109demand by the Stanton Energy Center for public services, either
3119directly or indirectly, through an increase in population
3127attributable to increased staffing. While the influx of the
3136construction work force may increase the demand for services from
3146local governments and nearby service providers, representatives
3153of these entities have indicated that they have more than enough
3164service capacity to accommodate the construction work force.
3172Air Quality
317431. The Stanton Unit A combustion turbine is subject to
3184pre-construction review requirements under the provisions of
3191Chapter 62-212.400, Florida Administrative Code.
319632. The Stanton Energy Center is located in Orange County,
3206an area designated as an attainment area for all criteria
3216pollutants in accordance with Rule 62-204.360, Florida
3223Administrative Code.
322533. The Stanton Unit A combustion turbine is subject to
3235review under Rule 62-212.400, Florida Administrative Code,
3242Prevention of Significant Deterioration (" PSD "), because the
3251potential emission increases for particulate matter/particulate
3257matter less than 10 microns ("PM/ PM 10 "), carbon monoxide ("CO"),
3272volatile organic compounds (" VOC "), sulfur dioxides (" SO 2 "), and
3285nitrogen oxides (" NO X ") exceed the significant emission rates
3296given in Chapter 62-212, Table 62-212.400-2, Florida
3303Administrative Code. The PSD review consists of a determination
3312of Best Available Control Technology (" BACT") for PM/ PM 10 , CO,
3325VOC, SO 2 and NO X , an air quality impact analysis, and an
3338assessment of the Stanton Unit A Projects impact on general
3348commercial and residential growth, soils, vegetation, and
3355visibility.
335634. The Stanton Unit A combustion turbine will increase
3365emissions of six pollutants at levels in excess of PSD
3375significant amounts: PM 10 , CO, SO 2 , NO X , VOC, and sulfuric acid
3388mist ("SAM"). PM 10 , SO 2 , and NO X are criteria pollutants and have
3404defined national and state ambient air quality standards
3412(" AAQS"), PSD increments, and significant impact levels. CO and
3423VOC are criteria pollutants and have only AAQS and significant
3433impact levels defined.
343635. The only Class I area near the Stanton Energy Center is
3448the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, located
3454approximately 140 km west-northwest of the site.
346136. An air quality analysis, undertaken in accordance with
3470computer modeling procedures approved in advance with the DEP,
3479demonstrated that the Stanton Unit A Project resulted in no
3489significant air quality impacts in the area surrounding the
3498proposed facility. Therefore, further air quality impact
3505studies, which would include AAQS and PSD increment impact
3514analyses for these pollutants, were not required.
352137. Under the Clean Air Act, the Stanton Unit A project
3532would be classified as a "process unit" of hazardous air
3542pollutants ("HAP"), thereby requiring an analysis to determine if
3553the Stanton Unit A Project would have a potential to emit 10 tpy
3566of any one HAP or 25 tpy of any combination of HAPs . Maximum
3580Achievable Control Technology (" MACT") applicability calculations
3588were performed and revealed that no individual HAP has a
3598potential to be emitted in excess of 10 tpy and no combination of
3611HAPs has a potential to be emitted in excess of 25 tpy from
3624operation of the Stanton Unit A Project. It was determined that
3635the need to apply MACT is therefore not required pursuant to
3646Section 112 of the Clean Air Act.
365338. The Stanton Unit A combustion turbines air emissions
3662are expected to cause only minimal or insignificant impacts on
3672vegetation, soil, or wildlife.
367639. A regional haze analysis was performed which showed
3685that operation of the Stanton Unit A combustion turbine will not
3696result in adverse impacts on visibility in the vicinity of the
3707Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge.
371140. Short-term increases in the labor force during the
3720construction phase will not result in permanent or significant
3729commercial and residential growth in the vicinity of the Stanton
3739Unit A Project. Any resulting air emissions from residual growth
3749will not be significant because the increase in population due to
3760the operation of the Stanton Unit A Project will be very small.
3772BACT and Emission Rates
377641. A BACT analysis was required as part of the PSD review.
3788The BACT review for the Stanton Unit A combustion turbine was
3799conducted for PM/ PM 10 , CO, NO X , SO 2 , and VOC.
381142. DEP determined that BACT for the Stanton Unit A
3821combustion turbine particulate matter (PM/ PM 10 ) emissions was good
3832combustion controls during natural gas and fuel oil firing. The
3842BACT for the particulate emissions from the Stanton Unit A
3852cooling tower is determined to be the use of drift eliminators
3863with a control efficiency of 0.002 percent.
387043. DEP determined that BACT for the Stanton Unit A
3880combustion turbine for CO emissions was good combustion controls
3889to achieve an emission limit of 17 ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 on a 24-
3905hour average for normal operation on natural gas and 14 ppmvd at
391715 percent O 2 for normal operation on fuel oil. An oxidation
3929catalyst will be installed, if necessary, to meet these emission
3939limits.
394044. DEP determined that BACT for the Stanton Unit A
3950combustion turbine for NOx emissions consists of using dry low NO X
3962burners with selective catalytic reduction (" SCR") to achieve an
3973emission limit of 3.5 ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 when burning natural
3986gas. This limit shall apply whether or not the unit is operating
3998with its duct burner on and/or in power augmentation mode. The
4009emissions of NO X with the combustion turbine operating on fuel oil
4021shall not exceed 10.0 ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 .
403245. DEP determined that BACT for the Stanton Unit A
4042combustion turbine for VOC emissions is good combustion controls
4051to achieve an emission limit of 2.7 ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 with
4065the CT firing fuel oil. The emission limit is 3.6 ppmvd at 15
4078percent O 2 with the CT firing natural gas (without power
4089augmentation) and 6.3 ppmvd at 15 percent O 2 (with power
4100augmentation).
410146. DEP determined that BACT for the Stanton Unit A
4111combustion turbine for SO 2 consists of firing natural gas and up
4123to 1,000 hours per consecutive 12-month period of 0.05 percent
4134sulfur fuel oil.
413747. DEP determined preliminarily that the Stanton Unit A
4146Project will comply with all applicable state and federal air
4156pollution regulations provided that the BACT determination is
4164implemented.
4165Industrial Wastewater
416748. The Stanton Energy Center has five major sources of
4177wastewater. These are sanitary wastes, oil/water separator
4184effluent, cooling tower blowdown, chemical wastes and boiler
4192blowdown. Oil/water separator effluent will be routed to the
4201existing Stanton Energy Center recycle basin where it will be
4211reused in Stanton Units 1 and 2 flue gas desulfurization and ash
4223systems. Cooling tower and evaporative cooler blowdown will be
4232treated in a new brine concentrator system. Sanitary wastes will
4242be routed to a new septic tank/tile field system. Boiler
4252blowdown from the HRSGs will be routed to the Stanton Unit A
4264cooling tower for reuse. See also Findings of Fact 14 and 15.
427649. It is estimated that 0.4 mgd of cooling tower blowdown,
4287resulting from operation of Stanton Unit A, will be returned to
4298the cooling tower as makeup water. Remaining wastewater streams
4307will be reused or recycled at the Stanton site.
431650. The HRSGs and pre-boiler piping will be chemically
4325cleaned during commissioning. The steam generators will also be
4334periodically cleaned during the life of the unit. The acid and
4345alkaline cleaning wastes resulting from this process will be
4354immediately neutralized on-site. The treated cleaning wastes
4361will be disposed of off-site by a licensed contractor.
4370Waste Disposal
437251. Stanton Unit A will generate no solid waste from the
4383energy generation process. Stanton Unit A will generate solid
4392waste associated with the brine concentrator treatment of the
4401cooling tower blowdown. This waste is combined with the solid
4411discharge waste produced by the treatment of the blowdown from
4421Stanton Units 1 and 2. Therefore, the addition of Stanton Unit A
4433will require no new landfills or solid waste disposal areas.
444352. Waste oil will be generated by Stanton Unit A
4453operation. Three processes generate waste oil: combustion
4460turbine cleaning, false starts of the combustion turbines, and
4469oil/water separator operation. This waste oil is hauled off-site
4478as needed by a licensed contractor for ultimate disposal.
4487Surface Water Hydrology and Water Quality Impacts
449453. The Stanton Unit A project is designed to be a zero
4506discharge facility for industrial wastes. Stanton Unit A will
4515use a mechanical draft cooling tower; makeup water will come from
4526the existing Makeup Water Supply Storage Pond, which receives
4535treated effluent from the Orange County Easterly Water
4543Reclamation Facility. Stanton Unit A will require an additional
45522.91 million gallons of treated wastewater per day for water lost
4563due to evaporation and drift and for blowdown. Cooling tower
4573blowdown will be directed to and treated in a cooling tower
4584blowdown treatment system.
458754. There are no sizeable surface water bodies on the
4597Stanton Energy Center site. Small segments of the Cowpen Branch
4607and the Hart Branch extend into the site; however, these small
4618streams are within the buffer zone on the site that will not be
4631affected by construction activities. Runoff from the
4638construction area will be contained in a collection basin.
464755. Construction of Stanton Unit A will have no significant
4657impact on the Cowpen Branch, the Hart Branch, or on-site
4667wetlands. Site preparation for construction of the proposed Unit
4676A facilities will occur in an area that was used for construction
4688laydown for Stanton Unit 2 construction.
469456. The Stanton Unit A storm water drainage system was
4704designed to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local
4714regulations regarding discharge into surface waters. Runoff from
4722areas not disturbed by construction or operations will be
4731directed to natural drainage systems within the area. Runoff
4740from disturbed areas will be directed to a drainage system and
4751then routed to the stormwater pond north of the Stanton Unit A
4763location.
4764Groundwater Hydrology and Impacts from Water Withdrawal
477157. During construction, dewatering will be necessary for
4779construction of heavy equipment foundations, underground
4785utilities, circulating water lines, and miscellaneous pits and
4793sumps. Dewatering activity is expected to last no more than 120
4804days with total withdrawal of less than 1 mgd. Discharge from
4815dewatering activities will be sent to the Stanton Unit A storm
4826water pond. The dewatering effects will be temporary and limited
4836to the power block area. The groundwater system will return to
4847its original state after completion of the dewatering. The
4856proposed Stanton Unit A Project will not cause any saltwater
4866intrusion in the area.
487058. The Stanton Energy Center currently uses groundwater
4878withdrawn from two 850 gallon per minute (" gpm") Floridan Aquifer
4890wells. Stanton Units 1 and 2 are currently authorized to use
4901approximately 2 million gpd of groundwater.
490759. In lieu of using additional groundwater for Stanton
4916Unit A, the Applicants have agreed to diligently and in good
4927faith pursue an agreement with Orange County to transfer up to
49388.0 million gallons per day of surface water (including
4947stormwater /surficial groundwater) from the adjacent Orange County
4955Landfill property for use at the Stanton Energy Center facility.
4965Ecological Resources
496760. The Stanton Energy Center occupies 3,280 acres.
4976Stanton Units 1 and 2 currently occupy approximately 310 acres of
4987land and approximately 1,100 acres have been scheduled for power
4998development.
499961. The Stanton Unit A facilities will be constructed on
5009the same area used for construction equipment/materials laydown
5017during construction of Stanton Units 1 and 2; the area was, thus,
5029previously disturbed. This 60-acre area is generally maintained
5037grassland, but will be cleared and grubbed for construction of
5047Stanton Unit A.
505062. The proposed new transmission line will connect Stanton
5059Unit A with OUCs existing Stanton Energy Center Substation
5068No. 17. The land between Stanton Unit A and Sub station No. 17 is
5082mostly undeveloped/native area dominated by pine flatwoods and
5090cypress wetland vegetative communities. In addition to the
5098undeveloped/native area, there is an access road that was once
5108used as an alternative route to the Stanton Energy Center. The
5119surface water bodies crossed by the transmission line corridor
5128are limited to an artificial surface water (borrow ditch) and
5138isolated cypress strand and herbaceous wetland. The anticipated
5146impacts on these water bodies were minimized to the extent
5156practicable by the siting of the corridor. Approximately 0.57
5165acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted. An
5173Environmental Resource Permit application has been submitted to
5181the United States Army Corps of Engineers for construction of the
5192transmission line.
519463. The Stanton Energy Center, including the proposed
5202Stanton Unit A, will not discharge effluent from the site into
5213surface waters; no impacts to aquatic life from such discharge
5223are, therefore, expected.
522664. A review of potential impacts to threatened and
5235endangered species was conducted based on habitat types that
5244occur at the Stanton Energy Center. Lists of threatened and
5254endangered species obtained from the United States Fish and
5263Wildlife Service and from the Florida Fish and Wildlife
5272Conservation Commission (" FFWCC") were reviewed and field surveys
5282were conducted. No critical habitat for federally listed species
5291occurs on Stanton Energy Center property. Protected species that
5300are known to occur on Stanton Energy Center property include the
5311eastern indigo snake, the gopher tortoise, the Florida pine
5320snake, the Florida scrub jay, the Kirtland's warbler, the
5329American kestrel, the bald eagle, the fox squirrel, the black
5339bear, and the red- cockaded woodpecker. Monitoring of the red-
5349cockaded woodpecker is required by the Conditions of
5357Certification for Stanton Units 1 and 2 and will also be
5368performed for Stanton Unit A.
537365. Site preparation will not permanently impact wildlife
5381habitat. However, wildlife species may be temporarily displaced
5389from adjacent communities by the noise, fugitive dust, and
5398activity associated with construction.
5402Impacts from Flooding and Hurricanes
540766. The 100-year flood elevations on the Stanton Energy
5416Center property vary from approximately 60 feet mean sea level
5426(" MSL") at the northeast corner of the property to approximately
543890 feet MSL at the southwest corner. All Stanton Unit A
5449facilities will be located above the 100-year flood elevation.
5458Noise Impacts
546067. Noise emissions attributable to constructio n activities
5468are highly variable, depending upon the location and operating
5477load of the construction equipment. Noise emissions during site
5486clearing and preparation will be dominated by diesel engine
5495noise. Site clearing and facility start-up will generally result
5504in minimal noise emissions. The one significant noise emission
5513associated with facility start-up will be steam blowout of the
5523HRSG and steam lines. Construction activities will be scheduled
5532during daytime and evening periods (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) to
5543the fullest extent possible. Any nighttime construction will be
5552limited to low noise activities as much as possible.
556168. Noise emissions are regulated under Chapter 15, Article
5570V, of the Orange County Code. The predicted A-weighted noise
5580emissions will satisfy the code criteria at the nearest
5589residential locations.
5591Traffic
559269. All roadways serving the construction and operational
5600traffic of Stanton Energy Center have adequate capacity to handle
5610the increase in traffic generated by construction and operation
5619of Stanton Unit A. A new paved "loop" road will be constructed
5631around the Stanton Unit A generation building and connected to
5641the Stanton Energy Center road system. During Stanton Unit A
5651construction, there will be some traffic congestion. However,
5659this impact will be temporary and will not have a lasting,
5670significant adverse impact on the existing levels of service on
5680affected local roads or highways. To lessen the impact of the
5691construction traffic congestion, OUC will encourage
5697transportation demand management techniques to reduce the number
5705of temporary, construction-related vehicle trips on the road
5713networks.
571470. Since construction of Stanton Unit A is expected to
5724have no greater impacts than those resulting from construction of
5734Stanton Units 1 or 2, no additional improvements to roadways or
5745traffic control systems are deemed necessary.
5751Consistency with the Local Comprehensive Plans
5757and Land Development Codes
576171. The Stanton Energy Center was initially certified by
5770the Siting Board on December 15, 1982 for an ultimate site
5781capacity of 2,000 MW. Stanton Unit A is consistent with the
5793ultimate certification and the applicable zoning and land use
5802plans of Orange County. As a result, no land use hearing was
5814required for the Stanton Unit A Project because the previously
5824certified ultimate site capacity will not be exceeded and the
5834land required for the construction and operation of Stanton Unit
5844A is within the boundaries of the previously certified site.
5854Therefore, t he Stanton Energy Center is consistent and in
5864compliance with the applicable sections of the Orange County
5873Comprehensive Plan, the East Central Florida Regional Planning
5881Council Interim Strategic Regional Policy Plan, the State
5889Comprehensive Plan , and the applicable local land use and zoning
5899ordinances.
5900Solid Waste
590272. Solid waste collection and disposal services at the
5911Stanton Energy Center will be coordinated with the appropriate
5920contractors to assure that all applicable regulations are met.
5929Public Services
593173. Public services such as police, fire, and emergency
5940medical services are available and sufficient to meet the needs
5950of Stanton Energy Center.
5954Variances
595574. Orange County will require no variances for operation
5964of the Stanton Unit A and its associated facilities.
5973Agency Positions and Stipulations
597775. In testimony entered at the certification hearing, the
5986DEP, through its expert witness, Hamilton S. Oven, rendered an
5996opinion that the Stanton Unit A Project would comply with all
6007applicable DEP statutes, rules, policies and criteria including,
6015but not limited to, those concerning air quality, water quality,
6025stormwater, wetlands, solid waste, industrial wastewater and
6032domestic wastewater, if the facility is built and operated in
6042accordance with the Department's Conditions of Certification
6049contained in DEP-2. Furthermore, Mr. Oven rendered an opinion
6058that the Stanton Unit A Project can comply with the Conditions of
6070Certification in DEP-2 and recommended that the Stanton Unit A
6080Project be approved.
608376. In testimony entered at the certification hearing, the
6092SJRWMD, through its expert witness, James J. Hollingshead,
6100rendered an opinion that the Stanton Unit A Project meets all the
6112standards, rules, and policies of SJRWMD applicable to the
6121Stanton Unit A Project, including compliance with the SJRWMD's
6130reasonable, beneficial use criteria. Accordingly, SJRWMD's staff
6137and the governing board of the SJRWMD recommend certification and
6147approval of the Stanton Unit A Project.
615477. The DEP, DOT, Department of Community Affairs (" DCA"),
6165FFWCC, Orange County, and the SJRWMD have recommended
6173certification of the proposed Stanton Unit A Project, including
6182its associated facilities, subject to recommended Conditions of
6190Certification. Those recommended Conditions of Certification are
6197attached to the DEP Staff Analysis Report as Appendix 1.
620778. The East Central Florida Regional Planning Council
6215(" ECFRPC") determined that use of the site for this industrial
6227use is consistent with the ECFRPC's Strategic Regional Policy
6236Plan. No state, regional, or local agency recommended denial of
6246certification.
6247CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
625079. The Division of Administrative Hearings has
6257jurisdiction over the parties to, and the subject matter of, this
6268proceeding. The proceeding was conducted in accordance with
6276Chapter 403.501-518, Part II, Florida Statutes, the "Florida
6284Electrical Power Plant Siting Act," and Chapter 62-17, Florida
6293Administrative Code.
629580. In accordance with Chapters 120 and 403, Florida
6304Statutes, and Chapter 62-17, Florida Administrative Code, proper
6312notice was accorded to all persons, entities, and parties
6321entitled thereto; notice also was provided to the general public.
6331All necessary and required governmental agencies participated in
6339the certification process. Reports and studies were issued by
6348the DEP, DCA , DOT, SJRWMD, South Florida Water Management
6357District (" SFWMD "), ECFRPC , FFWCC , and Orange County, in
6367accordance with their various statutory charges.
637381. The PSC has certified the need for the electrical
6383generating capacity, nominally 633 MW, to be supplied by Stanton
6393Unit A as required by Sections 403.508 and 403.519, Florida
6403Statutes.
640482. Preponderant evidence produced by OUC, KUA , FMPA , and
6413Southern-Florida in their SSCA , in their pre-filed testimony, in
6422the Joint Stipulation Between the Parties, in the Amended Joint
6432Stipulation Between the Parties, and at the certification hearing
6441demonstrates that the Applicants have met their burden of proving
6451that the proposed Stanton Unit A and its associated facilities
6461should be granted certification as described more particularly
6469herein.
647083. Preponderant evidence produced in their SSCA , in their
6479pre-filed testimony, in the Joint Stipulation Between the
6487Parties, in the Amended Joint Stipulation Between the Parties,
6496and at the hearing demonstrates that the construction and
6505operational safeguards for Stanton Unit A are technically
6513sufficient for the welfare and protection of citizens and are
6523reasonable and available methods to achieve that protection.
6531Stanton Unit A and associated facilities, if constructed,
6539maintained, and operated in accordance with the conditions and
6548parameters recommended and found herein and in the attached
6557Conditions of Certification, will result in minimal environmental
6565impacts compared to the benefits of the new combined cycle unit.
6576Such measures will minimize adverse effects on human health, the
6586environment, the ecology of the land and its wildlife, and the
6597ecology of state waters and their aquatic wildlife through the
6607use of reasonable and available methods. Certification of the
6616construction and operation of Stanton Unit A is consistent with
6626the goal of abundant, low-cost energy and will effect a
6636reasonable balance between minimal environmental impacts and an
6644already determined need for Unit A at the Stanton Energy Center.
665584. The proposed Stanton Unit A and its associated
6664facilities, if constructed and operated in accordance with the
6673findings and conclusions herein and in the recommended Conditions
6682of Certification, will be consistent and in compliance with the
6692State Comprehensive Plan and the Orange County Comprehensive
6700Plan.
6701RECOMMENDATION
6702Having considered the foregoing, it is, therefore,
6709RECOMMENDED that the Orlando Utilities Commission, Kissimmee
6716Utility Authority, Florida Municipal Power Agency, and Southern-
6724Florida, LLC , be granted certification, pursuant to Chapter 403,
6733Part II, Florida Statutes, for the location, construction, and
6742operation of proposed Stanton Unit A and its associated
6751facilities, as described in the Supplemental Site Certification
6759Application and as modified by the preponderant evidence of
6768record supportive of the above findings of fact and conclusions
6778of law, and in accordance with the Conditions of Certification,
6788which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by
6798reference.
