NR 111.32(3)(3) An owner or operator of the facility complying with the option II requirements under s. NR 111.31 (2) shall monitor to demonstrate achievement of reductions commensurate with a closed-cycle recirculating system. The owner or operator of the facility shall monitor entrainable organisms at a proximity to the intake that is representative of the entrainable organisms in the absence of the intake structure. The owner or operator of the facility shall also monitor the latent entrainment mortality in front of the intake structure. Mortality after passing the cooling water intake structure shall be counted as 100 percent mortality unless the owner or operator of the facility has demonstrated to the approval of the department that the mortality for each species is less than 100 percent. Monitoring shall be representative of the cooling water intake when the structure is in operation. In addition, sufficient samples shall be collected to allow for calculation of annual average entrainment levels of all life stages of fish and shellfish. Specific monitoring protocols and frequency of monitoring shall be determined by the department. The owner or operator of the facility shall follow the monitoring frequencies identified by the department for at least 2 years after the initial permit issuance. After that time, the department may approve a request for less frequent monitoring in the remaining years of the permit term and when a subsequent permit is reissued. The monitoring shall measure the total count of entrainable organisms or density of organisms, unless the department approves of a different metric for such measurements. In addition, the owner or operator of the facility shall monitor the actual flow withdrawn for each intake. The actual flow withdrawn shall be measured at the same time as collection of the samples of entrainable organisms. The department may require additional monitoring necessary to demonstrate compliance with s. NR 111.31. NR 111.32(4)(4) The owner or operator of the facility shall comply with any additional monitoring for impingement or entrainment at the cooling water intake structure used by a new unit, including any of the following: NR 111.32(4)(a)(a) The department may require additional monitoring if there are changes in operating conditions at the facility or in the source waterbody that warrant a re-examination of the operational conditions specified in s. NR 111.41 (7). NR 111.32(4)(b)(b) The department may require additional monitoring for species not subject to the BTA requirements for impingement mortality under s. NR 111.12. Such monitoring requirements shall be determined by the department on a site-specific basis. NR 111.32 HistoryHistory: CR 19-105: cr. Register May 2020 No. 773, eff. 6-1-20. NR 111.40(1)(1) New facilities with new or modified cooling water intake structures. A new facility with a cooling water intake structure shall submit all of the following information to the department for review: NR 111.40(1)(b)(b) A statement that the facility intends to comply with one of the following: NR 111.40(1)(d)(d) Facilities choosing to comply with the track II requirements specified in s.

NR 111.40(2)(a)(a) Existing facilities that withdraw less than or equal to 2 MGD DIF or use less than 25 percent exclusively for cooling. The owner or operator of an existing facility designed to withdraw less than or equal to 2 MGD DIF or that uses less than 25 percent of the total water withdrawn exclusively for cooling purposes shall submit to the department any information requested by the department that is needed to inform a BTA determination. NR 111.40(2)(b)(b) Existing facilities that withdraw greater than 2 MGD DIF and less than or equal to 125 MGD AIF. The owner or operator of an existing facility that withdraws greater than 2 MGD DIF and less than or equal to 125 MGD AIF and that uses 25 percent or more of the total water withdrawn exclusively for cooling purposes shall submit to the department for review the information required under s. NR 111.41 (1), (2), and (13) and applicable provisions of s. NR 111.41 (3) to (7). NR 111.40(2)(c)(c) Existing facilities that withdraw greater than 125 MGD AIF. The owner or operator of an existing facility that withdraws greater than 125 MGD AIF and that uses 25 percent or more of the total water withdrawn exclusively for cooling purposes, as defined in s. NR 111.03 (1), shall submit to the department for review the information required under s. NR 111.41 (1), (2), and (8) to (12) and applicable provisions of s. NR 111.41 (3) to (7). NR 111.40(2)(d)(d) Reduced information. If the owner or operator of an existing facility intends to comply with the BTA standards for entrainment using a closed-cycle recirculating system as defined in s. NR 111.03 (5), the department may reduce or waive some or all of the information required under s. NR 111.41 (8) to (12). NR 111.40(2)(e)(e) Communication with U.S. fish and wildlife service. In addition to requirements specified in pars. (a) to (d), the owner or operator of the facility shall also submit with its permit application all information received as a result of any communication with a field office of the U.S. fish and wildlife service.

NR 111.40(3)(a)(a) New units at existing facilities. The owner or operator of a new unit at an existing facility shall submit or update any information previously provided to the department by submitting the information required under s. NR 111.41 (1), (2), (4), (7), and (14) and applicable provisions of s. NR 111.41 (3), (5), and (6). Requests for and approvals of alternative requirements sought under s.

The owner or operator of a new unit at an existing facility not previously subject to this chapter that increases the total capacity of the existing facility to more than 2 MGD DIF and that uses 25 percent or more of the total water withdrawn exclusively for cooling purposes shall submit the information required under s. NR 111.41 (1), (2), (4), and (7) and applicable provisions of s. NR 111.41 (3), (5), and (6) at the time of the permit application for the new unit. Requests for alternative requirements under s. NR 111.31 (2) (b) or (3) shall be submitted with the permit application.
