Subpart J--Requirements Applicable to Cooling Water Intake
Structures for Phase II Existing Facilities Under Section 316(b) of
the Act

Sec. 125.90 What are the purpose and scope of this subpart?

(a) This subpart establishes requirements that apply to the
location, design, construction, and capacity of cooling water intake
structures at existing facilities that are subject to this subpart
(i.e., Phase II existing facilities). The purpose of these requirements
is to establish the best technology available for minimizing adverse
environmental impact associated with the use of cooling water intake
structures. These requirements are implemented through National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued under
section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
(b) Existing facilities that are not subject to requirements under
this or another subpart of this part must meet requirements under
section 316(b) of the CWA determined by the Director on a case-by-case,
best professional judgment (BPJ) basis.
(c) Alternative regulatory requirements. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this subpart, if a State demonstrates to the Administrator
that it has adopted alternative regulatory requirements in its NPDES
program that will result in environmental performance within a
watershed that is comparable to the reductions of impingement mortality
and entrainment that would otherwise be achieved under Sec. 125.94,
the Administrator must approve such alternative regulatory
requirements.
(d) Nothing in this subpart shall be construed to preclude or deny
the right of any State or political subdivision of a State or any
interstate agency under section 510 of the CWA to adopt or enforce any
requirement with respect to control or abatement of pollution that is
not less stringent than those required by Federal law.

Sec. 125.91 What is a ``Phase II Existing Facility''?

(a) An existing facility, as defined in Sec. 125.93, is a Phase II
existing facility subject to this subpart if it meets each of the
following criteria:
(1) It is a point source.
(2) It uses or proposes to use cooling water intake structures with
a total design intake flow of 50 million gallons per day (MGD) or more
to withdraw cooling water from waters of the United States;
(3) As its primary activity, the facility both generates and
transmits electric power, or generates electric power but sells it to
another entity for transmission; and
(4) It uses at least 25 percent of water withdrawn exclusively for
cooling purposes, measured on an average annual basis.
(b) In the case of a Phase II existing facility that is co-located
with a manufacturing facility, only that portion of the combined
cooling water intake flow that is used by the Phase II facility to
generate electricity for sale to another entity will be considered for
purposes of determining whether the 50 MGD and 25 percent criteria in
paragraphs (a)(2) and (4) of this section have been exceeded.
(c) Use of a cooling water intake structure includes obtaining
cooling water by any sort of contract or arrangement with one or more
independent suppliers of cooling water if the supplier withdraws water
from waters of the United States but is not itself a Phase II existing
facility, except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section. This
provision is intended to prevent circumvention of these requirements by
creating arrangements to receive cooling water from an entity that is
not itself a Phase II existing facility.
(d) Notwithstanding paragraph (c) of this section, obtaining
cooling water from a public water system or using treated effluent as
cooling water does not constitute use of a cooling water intake
structure for purposes of this subpart.

Sec. 125.92 [Reserved]

Sec. 125.93 What special definitions apply to this subpart?

In addition to the definitions provided in Sec. 122.3 of this
chapter, the following special definitions apply to this subpart:
Adaptive management method is a type of project management method
where a facility chooses an approach to meeting the project goal,
monitors the effectiveness of that approach, and then based on
monitoring and any other relevant information, makes any adjustments
necessary to ensure continued progress toward the project's goal. This
cycle of activity is repeated as necessary to reach the project's goal.
Annual mean flow means the average of daily flows over a calendar year.
All life stages means eggs, larvae, juveniles, and adults.
Calculation baseline means an estimate of impingement mortality and
entrainment that would occur at your site assuming that: the cooling
water system has been designed as a once-

[[Page 41684]]

through system; the opening of the cooling water intake structure is
located at, and the face of the standard \3/8\-inch mesh traveling
screen is oriented parallel to, the shoreline near the surface of the
source waterbody; and the baseline practices, procedures, and
structural configuration are those that your facility would maintain in
the absence of any structural or operational controls, including flow
or velocity reductions, implemented in whole or in part for the
purposes of reducing impingement mortality and entrainment. You may
also choose to use the current level of impingement mortality and
entrainment as the calculation baseline. The calculation baseline may
be estimated using: historical impingement mortality and entrainment
data from your facility or from another facility with comparable
design, operational, and environmental conditions; current biological
data collected in the waterbody in the vicinity of your cooling water
intake structure; or current impingement mortality and entrainment data
collected at your facility. You may request that the calculation
baseline be modified to be based on a location of the opening of the
cooling water intake structure at a depth other than at or near the
surface if you can demonstrate to the Director that the other depth
would correspond to a higher baseline level of impingement mortality
and/or entrainment.
Capacity utilization rate means the ratio between the average
annual net generation of power by the facility (in MWh) and the total
net capability of the facility to generate power (in MW) multiplied by
the number of hours during a year. In cases where a facility has more
than one intake structure, and each intake structure provides cooling
water exclusively to one or more generating units, the capacity
utilization rate may be calculated separately for each intake
structure, based on the capacity utilization of the units it services.
Applicable requirements under this subpart would then be determined
separately for each intake structure. The average annual net generation
should be measured over a five year period (if available) of
representative operating conditions, unless the facility makes a
binding commitment to maintain capacity utilization below 15 percent
for the life of the permit, in which case the rate may be based on this
commitment. For purposes of this subpart, the capacity utilization rate
applies to only that portion of the facility that generates electricity
for transmission or sale using a thermal cycle employing the steam
water system as the thermodynamic medium.
Closed-cycle recirculating system means a system designed, using
minimized make-up and blowdown flows, to withdraw water from a natural
or other water source to support contact and/or noncontact cooling uses
within a facility. The water is usually sent to a cooling canal or
channel, lake, pond, or tower to allow waste heat to be dissipated to
the atmosphere and then is returned to the system. (Some facilities
divert the waste heat to other process operations.) New source water
(make-up water) is added to the system to replenish losses that have
occurred due to blowdown, drift, and evaporation.
Cooling water means water used for contact or noncontact cooling,
including water used for equipment cooling, evaporative cooling tower
makeup, and dilution of effluent heat content. The intended use of the
cooling water is to absorb waste heat rejected from the process or
processes used, or from auxiliary operations on the facility's
premises. Cooling water that is used in a manufacturing process either
before or after it is used for cooling is considered process water for
the purposes of calculating the percentage of a facility's intake flow
that is used for cooling purposes in Sec. 125.91(a)(4).
Cooling water intake structure means the total physical structure
and any associated constructed waterways used to withdraw cooling water
from waters of the U.S. The cooling water intake structure extends from
the point at which water is withdrawn from the surface water source up
to, and including, the intake pumps.
Design and construction technology means any physical configuration
of the cooling water intake structure, or a technology that is placed
in the water body in front of the cooling water intake structure, to
reduce impingement mortality and/or entrainment. Design and
construction technologies include, but are not limited to, location of
the intake structure, intake screen systems, passive intake systems,
fish diversion and/or avoidance systems, and fish handling and return
systems. Restoration measures are not design and construction
technologies for purposes of this definition.
Design intake flow means the value assigned (during the cooling
water intake structure design) to the total volume of water withdrawn
from a source waterbody over a specific time period.
Design intake velocity means the value assigned (during the design
of a cooling water intake structure) to the average speed at which
intake water passes through the open area of the intake screen (or
other device) against which organisms might be impinged or through
which they might be entrained.
Diel means daily and refers to variation in organism abundance and
density over a 24-hour period due to the influence of water movement,
physical or chemical changes, and changes in light intensity.
Entrainment means the incorporation of any life stages of fish and
shellfish with intake water flow entering and passing through a cooling
water intake structure and into a cooling water system.
Estuary means a semi-enclosed body of water that has a free
connection with open seas and within which the seawater is measurably
diluted with fresh water derived from land drainage. The salinity of an
estuary exceeds 0.5 parts per thousand (by mass) but is typically less
than 30 parts per thousand (by mass).
Existing facility means any facility that commenced construction as
described in 40 CFR 122.29(b)(4) on or before January 17, 2002; and any
modification of, or any addition of a unit at such a facility that does
not meet the definition of a new facility at Sec. 125.83.
Freshwater river or stream means a lotic (free-flowing) system that
does not receive significant inflows of water from oceans or bays due
to tidal action. For the purposes of this rule, a flow-through
reservoir with a retention time of 7 days or less will be considered a
freshwater river or stream.
Impingement means the entrapment of any life stages of fish and
shellfish on the outer part of an intake structure or against a
screening device during periods of intake water withdrawal.
Lake or reservoir means any inland body of open water with some
minimum surface area free of rooted vegetation and with an average
hydraulic retention time of more than 7 days. Lakes or reservoirs might
be natural water bodies or impounded streams, usually fresh, surrounded
by land or by land and a man-made retainer (e.g., a dam). Lakes or
reservoirs might be fed by rivers, streams, springs, and/or local
precipitation.
Moribund means dying; close to death.
Natural thermal stratification means the naturally occurring and/or
existing division of a waterbody into horizontal layers of differing
densities as a result of variations in temperature at different depths.
Ocean means marine open coastal waters with a salinity greater than or

[[Page 41685]]

equal to 30 parts per thousand (by mass).
Once-through cooling water system means a system designed to
withdraw water from a natural or other water source, use it at the
facility to support contact and/or noncontact cooling uses, and then
discharge it to a waterbody without recirculation. Once-through cooling
systems sometimes employ canals/channels, ponds, or non-recirculating
cooling towers to dissipate waste heat from the water before it is
discharged.
Operational measure means a modification to any operation at a
facility that serves to minimize impact to fish and shellfish from the
cooling water intake structure. Examples of operational measures
include, but are not limited to: reductions in cooling water intake
flow through the use of variable speed pumps and seasonal flow
reductions or shutdowns; and more frequent rotation of traveling screens.
Phase II existing facility means any existing facility that meets
the criteria specified in Sec. 125.91.
Source water means the waters of the U.S. from which the cooling
water is withdrawn.
Supplier means an entity, other than the regulated facility, that
owns and operates its own cooling water intake structure and directly
withdraws water from waters of the United States. The supplier sells
the cooling water to other facilities for their use, but may also use a
portion of the water itself. An entity that provides potable water to
residential populations (e.g., public water system) is not a supplier
for purposes of this subpart.
Thermocline means the middle layer of a thermally stratified lake
or a reservoir. In this layer, there is a rapid change in temperatures
between the top and bottom of the layer.
Tidal river means the most seaward reach of a river or stream where
the salinity is typically less than or equal to 0.5 parts per thousand
(by mass) at a time of annual low flow and whose surface elevation
responds to the effects of coastal lunar tides.

Sec. 125.94 How will requirements reflecting best technology
available for minimizing adverse environmental impact be established
for my Phase II existing facility?

(a) Compliance alternatives. You must select and implement one of
the following five alternatives for establishing best technology
available for minimizing adverse environmental impact at your facility:
(1)(i)You may demonstrate to the Director that you have reduced, or
will reduce, your flow commensurate with a closed-cycle recirculating
system. In this case, you are deemed to have met the applicable
performance standards and will not be required to demonstrate further
that your facility meets the impingement mortality and entrainment
performance standards specified in paragraph (b) of this section. In
addition, you are not subject to the requirements in Sec. Sec. 125.95,
125.96, 125.97, or 125.98. However, you may still be subject to any
more stringent requirements established under paragraph (e) of this
section; or
(ii) You may demonstrate to the Director that you have reduced, or
will reduce, your maximum through-screen design intake velocity to 0.5
ft/s or less. In this case, you are deemed to have met the impingement
mortality performance standards and will not be required to demonstrate
further that your facility meets the performance standards for
impingement mortality specified in paragraph (b) of this section and
you are not subject to the requirements in Sec. Sec. 125.95, 125.96,
125.97, or 125.98 as they apply to impingement mortality. However, you
are still subject to any applicable requirements for entrainment
reduction and may still be subject to any more stringent requirements
established under paragraph (e) of this section.
(2) You may demonstrate to the Director that your existing design
and construction technologies, operational measures, and/or restoration
measures meet the performance standards specified in paragraph (b) of
this section and/or the restoration requirements in paragraph (c) of
this section.
(3) You may demonstrate to the Director that you have selected, and
will install and properly operate and maintain, design and construction
technologies, operational measures, and/or restoration measures that
will, in combination with any existing design and construction
technologies, operational measures, and/or restoration measures, meet
the performance standards specified in paragraph (b) of this section
and/or the restoration requirements in paragraph (c) of this section;
(4) You may demonstrate to the Director that you have installed, or
will install, and properly operate and maintain an approved design and
construction technology in accordance with Sec. 125.99(a) or (b); or
(5) You may demonstrate to the Director that you have selected,
installed, and are properly operating and maintaining, or will install
and properly operate and maintain design and construction technologies,
operational measures, and/or restoration measures that the Director has
determined to be the best technology available to minimize adverse
environmental impact for your facility in accordance with paragraphs
(a)(5)(i) or (ii) of this section.
(i) If the Director determines that data specific to your facility
demonstrate that the costs of compliance under alternatives in
paragraphs (a)(2) through (4) of this section would be significantly
greater than the costs considered by the Administrator for a facility
like yours in establishing the applicable performance standards in
paragraph (b) of this section, the Director must make a site-specific
determination of the best technology available for minimizing adverse
environmental impact. This determination must be based on reliable,
scientifically valid cost and performance data submitted by you and any
other information that the Director deems appropriate. The Director
must establish site-specific alternative requirements based on new and/
or existing design and construction technologies, operational measures,
and/or restoration measures that achieve an efficacy that is, in the
judgment of the Director, as close as practicable to the applicable
performance standards in paragraph (b) of this section, without
resulting in costs that are significantly greater than the costs
considered by the Administrator for a facility like yours in
establishing the applicable performance standards. The Director's site-
specific determination may conclude that design and construction
technologies, operational measures, and/or restoration measures in
addition to those already in place are not justified because of the
significantly greater costs. To calculate the costs considered by the
Administrator for a facility like yours in establishing the applicable
performance standards you must:
(A) Determine which technology the Administrator modeled as the
most appropriate compliance technology for your facility;
(B) Using the Administrator's costing equations, calculate the
annualized capital and net operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for a
facility with your design intake flow using this technology;
(C) Determine the annualized net revenue loss associated with net
construction downtime that the Administrator modeled for your facility
to install this technology;
(D) Determine the annualized pilot study costs that the
Administrator modeled for your facility to test and optimize this
technology;
(E) Sum the cost items in paragraphs (a)(5)(i)(B), (C), and (D) of
this section; and

[[Page 41686]]

(F) Determine if the performance standards that form the basis of
these estimates (i.e., impingement mortality reduction only or
impingement mortality and entrainment reduction) are applicable to your
facility, and if necessary, adjust the estimates to correspond to the
applicable performance standards.
(ii) If the Director determines that data specific to your facility
demonstrate that the costs of compliance under alternatives in
paragraphs (a)(2) through (4) of this section would be significantly
greater than the benefits of complying with the applicable performance
standards at your facility, the Director must make a site-specific
determination of best technology available for minimizing adverse
environmental impact. This determination must be based on reliable,
scientifically valid cost and performance data submitted by you and any
other information the Director deems appropriate. The Director must
establish site-specific alternative requirements based on new and/or
existing design and construction technologies, operational measures,
and/or restoration measures that achieve an efficacy that, in the
judgment of the Director, is as close as practicable to the applicable
performance standards in paragraph (b) of this section without
resulting in costs that are significantly greater than the benefits at
your facility. The Director's site-specific determination may conclude
that design and construction technologies, operational measures, and/or
restoration measures in addition to those already in place are not
justified because the costs would be significantly greater than the
benefits at your facility.
(b) National performance standards.--(1) Impingement mortality
performance standards. If you choose compliance alternatives in
paragraphs (a)(2), (a)(3), or (a)(4) of this section, you must reduce
impingement mortality for all life stages of fish and shellfish by 80
to 95 percent from the calculation baseline.
(2) Entrainment performance standards. If you choose compliance
alternatives in paragraphs (a)(1)(ii), (a)(2), (a)(3), or (a)(4) of
this section, you must also reduce entrainment of all life stages of
fish and shellfish by 60 to 90 percent from the calculation baseline if:
(i) Your facility has a capacity utilization rate of 15 percent or
greater, and
(ii)(A) Your facility uses cooling water withdrawn from a tidal
river, estuary, ocean, or one of the Great Lakes; or
(B) Your facility uses cooling water withdrawn from a freshwater
river or stream and the design intake flow of your cooling water intake
structures is greater than five percent of the mean annual flow.
(3) Additional performance standards for facilities withdrawing
from a lake (other than one of the Great Lakes) or a reservoir. If your
facility withdraws cooling water from a lake (other than one of the
Great Lakes) or a reservoir and you propose to increase the design
intake flow of cooling water intake structures it uses, your increased
design intake flow must not disrupt the natural thermal stratification
or turnover pattern (where present) of the source water, except in
cases where the disruption does not adversely affect the management of
fisheries. In determining whether any such disruption does not
adversely affect the management of fisheries, you must consult with
Federal, State, or Tribal fish and wildlife management agencies).
(4) Use of performance standards for site-specific determinations
of best technology available. The performance standards in paragraphs
(b)(1) through (3) of this section must also be used for determining
eligibility for site-specific determinations of best technology
available for minimizing adverse environmental impact and establishing
site specific requirements that achieve an efficacy as close as
practicable to the applicable performance standards without resulting
in costs that are significantly greater than those considered by the
Administrator for a facility like yours in establishing the performance
standards or costs that are significantly greater than the benefits at
your facility, pursuant to Sec. 125.94(a)(5).
(c) Requirements for restoration measures. With the approval of the
Director, you may implement and adaptively manage restoration measures
that produce and result in increases of fish and shellfish in your
facility's watershed in place of or as a supplement to installing
design and control technologies and/or adopting operational measures
that reduce impingement mortality and entrainment. You must demonstrate
to the Director that:
(1) You have evaluated the use of design and construction
technologies and operational measures for your facility and determined
that the use of restoration measures is appropriate because meeting the
applicable performance standards or site-specific requirements through
the use of design and construction technologies and/or operational
measures alone is less feasible, less cost-effective, or less
environmentally desirable than meeting the standards or requirements in
whole or in part through the use of restoration measures; and
(2) The restoration measures you will implement, alone or in
combination with design and construction technologies and/or
operational measures, will produce ecological benefits (fish and
shellfish), including maintenance or protection of community structure
and function in your facility's waterbody or watershed, at a level that
is substantially similar to the level you would achieve by meeting the
applicable performance standards under paragraph (b) of this section,
or that satisfies alternative site-specific requirements established
pursuant to paragraph (a)(5) of this section.
(d)(1) Compliance using a technology installation and operation
plan or restoration plan. If you choose one of the compliance
alternatives in paragraphs (a)(2), (3), (4), or (5) of this section,
you may request that compliance with the requirements of Sec.
125.94(b) during the first permit containing requirements consistent
with this subpart be determined based on whether you have complied with
the construction, operational, maintenance, monitoring, and adaptive
management requirements of a Technology Installation and Operation Plan
developed in accordance with Sec. 125.95(b)(4)(ii) (for any design and
construction technologies and/or operational measures) and/or a
Restoration Plan developed in accordance with Sec. 125.95(b)(5) (for
any restoration measures). The Technology Installation and Operation
Plan must be designed to meet applicable performance standards in
paragraph (b) of this section or alternative site-specific requirements
developed pursuant to paragraph (a)(5) of this section. The Restoration
Plan must be designed to achieve compliance with the applicable
requirements in paragraph (c) of this section.
(2) During subsequent permit terms, if you selected and installed
design and construction technologies and/or operational measures and
have been in compliance with the construction, operational,
maintenance, monitoring, and adaptive management requirements of your
Technology Installation and Operation Plan during the preceding permit
term, you may request that compliance with the requirements of Sec.
125.94 during the following permit term be determined based on whether
you remain in compliance with your Technology Installation and
Operation Plan, revised in accordance with your adaptive management
plan in Sec. 125.95(b)(4)(ii)(C) if applicable performance standards
are not being

[[Page 41687]]

met. Each request and approval of a Technology Installation and
Operation Plan shall be limited to one permit term.
(3) During subsequent permit terms, if you selected and installed
restoration measures and have been in compliance with the construction,
operational, maintenance, monitoring, and adaptive management
requirements in your Restoration Plan during the preceding permit term,
you may request that compliance with the requirements of this section
during the following permit term be determined based on whether you
remain in compliance with your Restoration Plan, revised in accordance
with your adaptive management plan in Sec. 125.95(b)(5)(v) if
applicable performance standards are not being met. Each request and
approval of a Restoration Plan shall be limited to one permit term.
(e) More stringent standards. The Director may establish more
stringent requirements as best technology available for minimizing
adverse environmental impact if the Director determines that your
compliance with the applicable requirements of this section would not
meet the requirements of applicable State and Tribal law, or other
Federal law.
(f) Nuclear facilities. If you demonstrate to the Director based on
consultation with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that compliance
with this subpart would result in a conflict with a safety requirement
established by the Commission, the Director must make a site-specific
determination of best technology available for minimizing adverse
environmental impact that would not result in a conflict with the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission's safety requirement.

Sec. 125.95 As an owner or operator of a Phase II existing facility,
what must I collect and submit when I apply for my reissued NPDES permit?

(a)(1) You must submit to the Director the Proposal for Information
Collection required in paragraph (b)(1) of this section prior to the
start of information collection activities;
(2) You must submit to the Director the information required in 40
CFR 122.21(r)(2), (r)(3) and (r)(5) and any applicable portions of the
Comprehensive Demonstration Study (Study), except for the Proposal for
Information Collection required by paragraph (b)(1) of this section; and
(i) You must submit your NPDES permit application in accordance
with the time frames specified in 40 CFR 122.21(d)(2).
(ii) If your existing permit expires before [Insert date 4 years
after date of publication in the FR], you may request that the Director
establish a schedule for you to submit the information required by this
section as expeditiously as practicable, but not later than [Insert
date 3 years and 180 days after date of publication in the FR]. Between
the time your existing permit expires and the time an NPDES permit
containing requirements consistent with this subpart is issued to your
facility, the best technology available to minimize adverse
environmental impact will continue to be determined based on the
Director's best professional judgment.
(3) In subsequent permit terms, the Director may approve a request
to reduce the information required to be submitted in your permit
application on the cooling water intake structure(s) and the source
waterbody, if conditions at your facility and in the waterbody remain
substantially unchanged since your previous application. You must
submit your request for reduced cooling water intake structure and
waterbody application information to the Director at least one year
prior to the expiration of the permit. Your request must identify each
required information item in Sec. 122.21(r) and this section that you
determine has not substantially changed since the previous permit
application and the basis for your determination.
(b) Comprehensive Demonstration Study. The purpose of the
Comprehensive Demonstration Study (The Study) is to characterize
impingement mortality and entrainment, to describe the operation of
your cooling water intake structures, and to confirm that the
technologies, operational measures, and/or restoration measures you
have selected and installed, or will install, at your facility meet the
applicable requirements of Sec. 125.94. All facilities except those
that have met the applicable requirements in accordance with Sec. Sec.
125.94(a)(1)(i), 125.94(a)(1)(ii), and 125.94(a)(4) must submit all
applicable portions of the Comprehensive Demonstration Study to the
Director in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section. Facilities
that meet the requirements in Sec. 125.94(a)(1)(i) by reducing their
flow commensurate with a closed-cycle, recirculating system are not
required to submit a Comprehensive Demonstration Study. Facilities that
meet the requirements in Sec. 125.94(a)(1)(ii) by reducing their
design intake velocity to 0.5 ft/sec or less are required to submit a
Study only for the entrainment requirements, if applicable. Facilities
that meet the requirements in Sec. 125.94(a)(4) and have installed and
properly operate and maintain an approved design and construction
technology (in accordance with Sec. 125.99) are required to submit
only the Technology Installation and Operation Plan in paragraph (b)(4)
of this section and the Verification Monitoring Plan in paragraph
(b)(7) of this section. Facilities that are required to meet only
impingement mortality performance standards in Sec. 125.94(b)(1) are
required to submit only a Study for the impingement mortality reduction
requirements. The Comprehensive Demonstration Study must include:
(1) Proposal For Information Collection. You must submit to the
Director for review and comment a description of the information you
will use to support your Study. The Proposal for Information must be
submitted prior to the start of information collection activities, but
you may initiate such activities prior to receiving comment from the
Director. The proposal must include:
(i) A description of the proposed and/or implemented technologies,
operational measures, and/or restoration measures to be evaluated in
the Study;
(ii) A list and description of any historical studies
characterizing impingement mortality and entrainment and/or the
physical and biological conditions in the vicinity of the cooling water
intake structures and their relevance to this proposed Study. If you
propose to use existing data, you must demonstrate the extent to which
the data are representative of current conditions and that the data
were collected using appropriate quality assurance/quality control
procedures;
(iii) A summary of any past or ongoing consultations with
appropriate Federal, State, and Tribal fish and wildlife agencies that
are relevant to this Study and a copy of written comments received as a
result of such consultations; and
(iv) A sampling plan for any new field studies you propose to
conduct in order to ensure that you have sufficient data to develop a
scientifically valid estimate of impingement mortality and entrainment
at your site. The sampling plan must document all methods and quality
assurance/quality control procedures for sampling and data analysis.
The sampling and data analysis methods you propose must be appropriate
for a quantitative survey and include consideration of the methods used
in other studies performed in the source waterbody. The sampling plan
must include a description of the study area (including the area of
influence of the cooling water intake structure(s)), and provide a

[[Page 41688]]

taxonomic identification of the sampled or evaluated biological
assemblages (including all life stages of fish and shellfish).
(2) Source waterbody flow information. You must submit to the
Director the following source waterbody flow information:
(i) If your cooling water intake structure is located in a
freshwater river or stream, you must provide the annual mean flow of
the waterbody and any supporting documentation and engineering
calculations to support your analysis of whether your design intake
flow is greater than five percent of the mean annual flow of the river
or stream for purposes of determining applicable performance standards
under paragraph (b) of this section. Representative historical data
(from a period of time up to 10 years, if available) must be used; and
(ii) If your cooling water intake structure is located in a lake
(other than one of the Great Lakes) or a reservoir and you propose to
increase its design intake flow, you must provide a description of the
thermal stratification in the waterbody, and any supporting
documentation and engineering calculations to show that the total
design intake flow after the increase will not disrupt the natural
thermal stratification and turnover pattern in a way that adversely
impacts fisheries, including the results of any consultations with
Federal, State, or Tribal fish and wildlife management agencies.
(3) Impingement Mortality and/or Entrainment Characterization
Study. You must submit to the Director an Impingement Mortality and/or
Entrainment Characterization Study whose purpose is to provide
information to support the development of a calculation baseline for
evaluating impingement mortality and entrainment and to characterize
current impingement mortality and entrainment. The Impingement
Mortality and/or Entrainment Characterization Study must include the
following, in sufficient detail to support development of the other
elements of the Comprehensive Demonstration Study:
(i) Taxonomic identifications of all life stages of fish,
shellfish, and any species protected under Federal, State, or Tribal
Law (including threatened or endangered species) that are in the
vicinity of the cooling water intake structure(s) and are susceptible
to impingement and entrainment;
(ii) A characterization of all life stages of fish, shellfish, and
any species protected under Federal, State, or Tribal Law (including
threatened or endangered species) identified pursuant to paragraph
(b)(3)(i) of this section, including a description of the abundance and
temporal and spatial characteristics in the vicinity of the cooling
water intake structure(s), based on sufficient data to characterize
annual, seasonal, and diel variations in impingement mortality and
entrainment (e.g., related to climate and weather differences,
spawning, feeding and water column migration). These may include
historical data that are representative of the current operation of
your facility and of biological conditions at the site;
(iii) Documentation of the current impingement mortality and
entrainment of all life stages of fish, shellfish, and any species
protected under Federal, State, or Tribal Law (including threatened or
endangered species) identified pursuant to paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this
section and an estimate of impingement mortality and entrainment to be
used as the calculation baseline. The documentation may include
historical data that are representative of the current operation of
your facility and of biological conditions at the site. Impingement
mortality and entrainment samples to support the calculations required
in paragraphs (b)(4)(i)(C) and (b)(5)(iii) of this section must be
collected during periods of representative operational flows for the
cooling water intake structure and the flows associated with the
samples must be documented;
(4) Technology and compliance assessment information--(i) Design
and Construction Technology Plan. If you choose to use design and
construction technologies and/or operational measures, in whole or in
part to meet the requirements of Sec. 125.94(a)(2) or (3), you must
submit a Design and Construction Technology Plan to the Director for
review and approval. In the plan, you must provide the capacity
utilization rate for your facility (or for individual intake structures
where applicable, in accordance with Sec. 125.93) and provide
supporting data (including the average annual net generation of the
facility (in MWh) measured over a five year period (if available) of
representative operating conditions and the total net capacity of the
facility (in MW)) and underlying calculations. The plan must explain
the technologies and/or operational measures you have in place and/or
have selected to meet the requirements in Sec. 125.94. (Examples of
potentially appropriate technologies may include, but are not limited
to, wedgewire screens, fine mesh screens, fish handling and return
systems, barrier nets, aquatic filter barrier systems, vertical and/or
lateral relocation of the cooling water intake structure, and
enlargement of the cooling water intake structure opening to reduce
velocity. Examples of potentially appropriate operational measures may
include, but are not limited to, seasonal shutdowns, reductions in
flow, and continuous or more frequent rotation of traveling screens.)
The plan must contain the following information:
(A) A narrative description of the design and operation of all
design and construction technologies and/or operational measures
(existing and proposed), including fish handling and return systems,
that you have in place or will use to meet the requirements to reduce
impingement mortality of those species expected to be most susceptible
to impingement, and information that demonstrates the efficacy of the
technologies and/or operational measures for those species;
(B) A narrative description of the design and operation of all
design and construction technologies and/or operational measures
(existing and proposed) that you have in place or will use to meet the
requirements to reduce entrainment of those species expected to be the
most susceptible to entrainment, if applicable, and information that
demonstrates the efficacy of the technologies and/or operational
measures for those species;
(C) Calculations of the reduction in impingement mortality and
entrainment of all life stages of fish and shellfish that would be
achieved by the technologies and/or operational measures you have
selected based on the Impingement Mortality and/or Entrainment
Characterization Study in paragraph (b)(3) of this section. In
determining compliance with any requirements to reduce impingement
mortality or entrainment, you must assess the total reduction in
impingement mortality and entrainment against the calculation baseline
determined in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
Reductions in impingement mortality and entrainment from this
calculation baseline as a result of any design and construction
technologies and/or operational measures already implemented at your
facility should be added to the reductions expected to be achieved by
any additional design and/or construction technologies and operational
measures that will be implemented, and any increases in fish and
shellfish within the waterbody attributable to your restoration
measures. Facilities that recirculate a portion of their flow, but do
not reduce

[[Page 41689]]

flow sufficiently to satisfy the compliance option in Sec.
125.94(a)(1)(i) may take into account the reduction in impingement
mortality and entrainment associated with the reduction in flow when
determining the net reduction associated with existing design and
construction technologies and/or operational measures. This estimate
must include a site-specific evaluation of the suitability of the
technologies and/or operational measures based on the species that are
found at the site, and may be determined based on representative
studies (i.e., studies that have been conducted at a similar facility's
cooling water intake structures located in the same waterbody type with
similar biological characteristics) and/or site-specific technology
prototype or pilot studies; and
(D) Design and engineering calculations, drawings, and estimates
prepared by a qualified professional to support the descriptions
required by paragraphs (b)(4)(i)(A) and (B) of this section.
(ii) Technology Installation and Operation Plan. If you choose the
compliance alternative in Sec. 125.94(a)(2), (3), (4), or (5) and use
design and construction technologies and/or operational measures in
whole or in part to comply with the applicable requirements of Sec.
125.94, you must submit the following information with your application
for review and approval by the Director:
(A) A schedule for the installation and maintenance of any new
design and construction technologies. Any downtime of generating units
to accommodate installation and/or maintenance of these technologies
should be scheduled to coincide with otherwise necessary downtime
(e.g., for repair, overhaul, or routine maintenance of the generating
units) to the extent practicable. Where additional downtime is
required, you may coordinate scheduling of this downtime with the North
American Electric Reliability Council and/or other generators in your
area to ensure that impacts to reliability and supply are minimized;
(B) List of operational and other parameters to be monitored, and
the location and frequency that you will monitor them;
(C) List of activities you will undertake to ensure to the degree
practicable the efficacy of installed design and construction
technologies and operational measures, and your schedule for
implementing them;
(D) A schedule and methodology for assessing the efficacy of any
installed design and construction technologies and operational measures
in meeting applicable performance standards or site-specific
requirements, including an adaptive management plan for revising design
and construction technologies, operational measures, operation and
maintenance requirements, and/or monitoring requirements if your
assessment indicates that applicable performance standards or site-
specific requirements are not being met; and
(E) If you choose the compliance alternative in Sec. 125.94(a)(4),
documentation that the appropriate site conditions in Sec. 125.99(a)
or (b) exist at your facility.
(5) Restoration Plan. If you propose to use restoration measures,
in whole or in part, to meet the applicable requirements in Sec.
125.94, you must submit the following information with your application
for review and approval by the Director. You must address species of
concern identified in consultation with Federal, State, and Tribal fish
and wildlife management agencies with responsibility for fisheries and
wildlife potentially affected by your cooling water intake structure(s).
(i) A demonstration to the Director that you have evaluated the use
of design and construction technologies and/or operational measures for
your facility and an explanation of how you determined that restoration
would be more feasible, cost-effective, or environmentally desirable;
(ii) A narrative description of the design and operation of all
restoration measures (existing and proposed) that you have in place or
will use to produce fish and shellfish;
(iii) Quantification of the ecological benefits of the proposed
restoration measures. You must use information from the Impingement
Mortality and/or Entrainment Characterization Study required in
paragraph (b)(3) of this section, and any other available and
appropriate information, to estimate the reduction in fish and
shellfish impingement mortality and/or entrainment that would be
necessary for your facility to comply with Sec. 125.94(c)(2). You must
then calculate the production of fish and shellfish that you will
achieve with the restoration measures you will or have already
installed. You must include a discussion of the nature and magnitude of
uncertainty associated with the performance of these restoration
measures. You must also include a discussion of the time frame within
which these ecological benefits are expected to accrue;
(iv) Design calculations, drawings, and estimates to document that
your proposed restoration measures in combination with design and
construction technologies and/or operational measures, or alone, will
meet the requirements of Sec. 125.94(c)(2). If the restoration
measures address the same fish and shellfish species identified in the
Impingement Mortality and/or Entrainment Characterization Study (in-
kind restoration), you must demonstrate that the restoration measures
will produce a level of these fish and shellfish substantially similar
to that which would result from meeting applicable performance
standards in Sec. 125.94(b), or that they will satisfy site-specific
requirements established pursuant to Sec. 125.94(a)(5). If the
restoration measures address fish and shellfish species different from
those identified in the Impingement Mortality and/or Entrainment
Characterization Study (out-of-kind restoration), you must demonstrate
that the restoration measures produce ecological benefits substantially
similar to or greater than those that would be realized through in-kind
restoration. Such a demonstration should be based on a watershed
approach to restoration planning and consider applicable multi-agency
watershed restoration plans, site-specific peer-reviewed ecological
studies, and/or consultation with appropriate Federal, State, and
Tribal fish and wildlife management agencies.
(v) A plan utilizing an adaptive management method for
implementing, maintaining, and demonstrating the efficacy of the
restoration measures you have selected and for determining the extent
to which the restoration measures, or the restoration measures in
combination with design and construction technologies and operational
measures, have met the applicable requirements of Sec. 125.94(c)(2).
The plan must include:
(A) A monitoring plan that includes a list of the restoration
parameters that will be monitored, the frequency at which you will
monitor them, and success criteria for each parameter;
(B) A list of activities you will undertake to ensure the efficacy
of the restoration measures, a description of the linkages between
these activities and the items in paragraph (b)(5)(v)(A) of this
section, and an implementation schedule; and
(C) A process for revising the Restoration Plan as new information,
including monitoring data, becomes available, if the applicable
requirements under Sec. 125.94(c)(2) are not being met.
(vi) A summary of any past or ongoing consultation with appropriate
Federal, State, and Tribal fish and wildlife management agencies on
your use of restoration measures including a copy of

[[Page 41690]]

any written comments received as a result of such consultations;
(vii) If requested by the Director, a peer review of the items you
submit for the Restoration Plan. You must choose the peer reviewers in
consultation with the Director who may consult with EPA and Federal,
State, and Tribal fish and wildlife management agencies with
responsibility for fish and wildlife potentially affected by your
cooling water intake structure(s). Peer reviewers must have appropriate
qualifications (e.g., in the fields of geology, engineering, and/or
biology, etc.) depending upon the materials to be reviewed; and
(viii) A description of the information to be included in a bi-
annual status report to the Director.
(6) Information to support site-specific determination of best
technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact. If
you have requested a site-specific determination of best technology
available for minimizing adverse environmental impact pursuant to Sec.
125.94(a)(5)(i) because of costs significantly greater than those
considered by the Administrator for a facility like yours in
establishing the applicable performance standards of Sec. 125.94(b),
you are required to provide to the Director the information specified
in paragraphs (b)(6)(i) and (b)(6)(iii) of this section. If you have
requested a site-specific determination of best technology available
for minimizing adverse environmental impact pursuant to Sec.
125.94(a)(5)(ii) because of costs significantly greater than the
benefits of meeting the applicable performance standards of Sec.
125.94(b) at your facility, you must provide the information specified
in paragraphs (b)(6)(i), (b)(6)(ii), and (b)(6)(iii) of this section:
(i) Comprehensive Cost Evaluation Study. You must perform and
submit the results of a Comprehensive Cost Evaluation Study, that includes:
(A) Engineering cost estimates in sufficient detail to document the
costs of implementing design and construction technologies, operational
measures, and/or restoration measures at your facility that would be
needed to meet the applicable performance standards of Sec. 125.94(b);
(B) A demonstration that the costs documented in paragraph
(b)(6)(i)(A) of this section significantly exceed either those
considered by the Administrator for a facility like yours in
establishing the applicable performance standards or the benefits of
meeting the applicable performance standards at your facility; and
(C) Engineering cost estimates in sufficient detail to document the
costs of implementing the design and construction technologies,
operational measures, and/or restoration measures in your Site-Specific
Technology Plan developed in accordance with paragraph (b)(6)(iii) of
this section.
(ii) Benefits Valuation Study. If you are seeking a site-specific
determination of best technology available for minimizing adverse
environmental impact because of costs significantly greater than the
benefits of meeting the applicable performance standards of Sec.
125.94(b) at your facility, you must use a comprehensive methodology to
fully value the impacts of impingement mortality and entrainment at
your site and the benefits achievable by meeting the applicable
performance standards. In addition to the valuation estimates, the
benefit study must include the following:
(A) A description of the methodology(ies) used to value commercial,
recreational, and ecological benefits (including any non-use benefits,
if applicable);
(B) Documentation of the basis for any assumptions and quantitative
estimates. If you plan to use an entrainment survival rate other than
zero, you must submit a determination of entrainment survival at your
facility based on a study approved by the Director;
(C) An analysis of the effects of significant sources of
uncertainty on the results of the study; and
(D) If requested by the Director, a peer review of the items you
submit in the Benefits Valuation Study. You must choose the peer
reviewers in consultation with the Director who may consult with EPA
and Federal, State, and Tribal fish and wildlife management agencies
with responsibility for fish and wildlife potentially affected by your
cooling water intake structure. Peer reviewers must have appropriate
qualifications depending upon the materials to be reviewed.
(E) A narrative description of any non-monetized benefits that
would be realized at your site if you were to meet the applicable
performance standards and a qualitative assessment of their magnitude
and significance.
(iii) Site-Specific Technology Plan. Based on the results of the
Comprehensive Cost Evaluation Study required by paragraph (b)(6)(i) of
this section, and the Benefits Valuation Study required by paragraph
(b)(6)(ii) of this section, if applicable, you must submit a Site-
Specific Technology Plan to the Director for review and approval. The
plan must contain the following information:
(A) A narrative description of the design and operation of all
existing and proposed design and construction technologies, operational
measures, and/or restoration measures that you have selected in
accordance with Sec. 125.94(a)(5);
(B) An engineering estimate of the efficacy of the proposed and/or
implemented design and construction technologies or operational
measures, and/or restoration measures. This estimate must include a
site-specific evaluation of the suitability of the technologies or
operational measures for reducing impingement mortality and/or
entrainment (as applicable) of all life stages of fish and shellfish
based on representative studies (e.g., studies that have been conducted
at cooling water intake structures located in the same waterbody type
with similar biological characteristics) and, if applicable, site-
specific technology prototype or pilot studies. If restoration measures
will be used, you must provide a Restoration Plan that includes the
elements described in paragraph (b)(5) of this section.
(C) A demonstration that the proposed and/or implemented design and
construction technologies, operational measures, and/or restoration
measures achieve an efficacy that is as close as practicable to the
applicable performance standards of Sec. 125.94(b) without resulting
in costs significantly greater than either the costs considered by the
Administrator for a facility like yours in establishing the applicable
performance standards, or as appropriate, the benefits of complying
with the applicable performance standards at your facility;
(D) Design and engineering calculations, drawings, and estimates
prepared by a qualified professional to support the elements of the Plan.
(7) Verification Monitoring Plan. If you comply using compliance
alternatives in Sec. 125.94(a)(2), (3), (4), or (5) using design and
construction technologies and/or operational measures, you must submit
a plan to conduct, at a minimum, two years of monitoring to verify the
full-scale performance of the proposed or already implemented
technologies and/or operational measures. The verification study must
begin once the design and construction technologies and/or operational
measures are installed and continue for a period of time that is
sufficient to demonstrate to the Director whether the facility is
meeting the applicable performance standards in Sec. 125.94(b) or
site-specific requirements

[[Page 41691]]

developed pursuant to Sec. 125.94(a)(5). The plan must provide the
following:
(i) Description of the frequency and duration of monitoring, the
parameters to be monitored, and the basis for determining the
parameters and the frequency and duration for monitoring. The
parameters selected and duration and frequency of monitoring must be
consistent with any methodology for assessing success in meeting
applicable performance standards in your Technology Installation and
Operation Plan as required by paragraph (b)(4)(ii) of this section.
(ii) A proposal on how naturally moribund fish and shellfish that
enter the cooling water intake structure would be identified and taken
into account in assessing success in meeting the performance standards
in Sec. 125.94(b).
(iii)A description of the information to be included in a bi-annual
status report to the Director.

Sec. 125.96 As an owner or operator of a Phase II existing facility,
what monitoring must I perform?

As an owner or operator of a Phase II existing facility, you must
perform monitoring, as applicable, in accordance with the Technology
Installation and Operation Plan required by Sec. 125.95(b)(4)(ii), the
Restoration Plan required by Sec. 125.95(b)(5), the Verification
Monitoring Plan required by Sec. 125.95(b)(7), and any additional
monitoring specified by the Director to demonstrate compliance with the
applicable requirements of Sec. 125.94.

Sec. 125.97 As an owner or operator of a Phase II existing facility,
what records must I keep and what information must I report?

As an owner or operator of a Phase II existing facility you are
required to keep records and report information and data to the
Director as follows:
(a) You must keep records of all the data used to complete the
permit application and show compliance with the requirements of Sec.
125.94, any supplemental information developed under Sec. 125.95, and
any compliance monitoring data submitted under Sec. 125.96, for a
period of at least three (3) years from date of permit issuance. The
Director may require that these records be kept for a longer period.
(b) You must submit a status report to the Director for review
every two years that includes appropriate monitoring data and other
information as specified by the Director in accordance with Sec.
125.98(b)(5).

Sec. 125.98 As the Director, what must I do to comply with the
requirements of this subpart?

(a) Permit application. As the Director, you must review materials
submitted by the applicant under 40 CFR 122.21(r) and Sec. 125.95
before each permit renewal or reissuance.
(1) You must review and comment on the Proposal for Information
Collection submitted by the facility in accordance with Sec.
125.95(a)(1). You are encouraged to provide comments expeditiously so
that the permit applicant can make responsive modifications to its
information gathering activities. If a facility submits a request in
accordance with Sec. 125.95(a)(2)(ii) for an alternate schedule for
submitting the information required in Sec. 125.95, you must approve a
schedule that is as expeditious as practicable, but does not extend
beyond January 7, 2008. If a facility submits a request in accordance
with Sec. 125.95(a)(3) to reduce the information about their cooling
water intake structures and the source waterbody required to be
submitted in their permit application (other than with the first permit
application after September 7, 2004), you must approve the request
within 60 days if conditions at the facility and in the waterbody
remain substantially unchanged since the previous application.
(2) After receiving the permit application from the owner or
operator of a Phase II existing facility, you must determine which of
the requirements specified in Sec. 125.94 apply to the facility. In
addition, you must review materials to determine compliance with the
applicable requirements.
(3) At each permit renewal, you must review the application
materials and monitoring data to determine whether new or revised
requirements for design and construction technologies, operational
measures, or restoration measures should be included in the permit to
meet the applicable performance standards in Sec. 125.94(b) or
alternative site-specific requirements established pursuant to Sec.
125.94(a)(5).
(b) Permitting requirements. Section 316(b) requirements are
implemented for a facility through an NPDES permit. As the Director,
you must consider the information submitted by the Phase II existing
facility in its permit application, and determine the appropriate
requirements and conditions to include in the permit based on the
compliance alternatives in Sec. 125.94(a). The following requirements
must be included in each permit:
(1) Cooling water intake structure requirements. The permit
conditions must include the requirements that implement the applicable
provisions of Sec. 125.94. You must evaluate the performance of the
design and construction technologies, operational measures, and/or
restoration measures proposed and implemented by the facility and
require additional or different design and construction technologies,
operational measure, and/or restoration measures, and/or improved
operation and maintenance of existing technologies and measures, if
needed to meet the applicable performance standards, restoration
requirements, or alternative site-specific requirements. In determining
compliance with the performance standards for facilities proposing to
increase withdrawals of cooling water from a lake (other than a Great
Lake) or a reservoir in Sec. 125.94(b)(3), you must consider
anthropogenic factors (those not considered ``natural'') unrelated to
the Phase II existing facility's cooling water intake structures that
can influence the occurrence and location of a thermocline. These
include source water inflows, other water withdrawals, managed water
uses, wastewater discharges, and flow/level management practices (e.g.,
some reservoirs release water from deeper bottom layers). As the
Director, you must coordinate with appropriate Federal, State, or
Tribal fish and wildlife management agencies to determine if any
disruption of the natural thermal stratification resulting from the
proposed increased withdrawal of cooling water does not adversely
affect the management of fisheries. Specifically:
(i) You must review and approve the Design and Construction
Technology Plan required in Sec. 125.95(b)(4) to evaluate the
suitability and feasibility of the design and construction technology
and/or operational measures proposed to meet the performance standards
in Sec. 125.94(b) or site-specific requirements developed pursuant to
Sec. 125.94(a)(5).
(ii) If the facility proposes restoration measures in accordance
with Sec. 125.94(c), you must review and approve the Restoration Plan
required under Sec. 125.95(b)(5) to determine whether the proposed
measures, alone or in combination with design and construction
technologies and/or operational measures, will meet the requirements
under Sec. 125.94(c).
(iii) In each reissued permit, you must include a condition in the
permit requiring the facility to reduce impingement mortality and
entrainment (or to increase fish production, if applicable)
commensurate with the efficacy at the facility of the installed design
and construction technologies,

[[Page 41692]]

operational measures, and/or restoration measures.
(iv) If the facility implements design and construction
technologies and/or operational measures and requests that compliance
with the requirements in Sec. 125.94 be measured for the first permit
term (or subsequent permit terms, if applicable) employing the
Technology Installation and Operation Plan in accordance with Sec.
125.95(b)(4)(ii), you must review the Technology Installation and
Operation Plan to ensure it meets the requirements of Sec.
125.95(b)(4)(ii). If the Technology Installation and Operation Plan
meets the requirements of Sec. 125.95(b)(4)(ii), you must approve the
Technology Installation and Operation Plan and require the facility to
meet the terms of the plan including any revision to the plan that may
be necessary if applicable performance standards or alternative site-
specific requirements are not being met. If the facility implements
restoration measures and requests that compliance with the requirements
in Sec. 125.94 be measured for the first permit term (or subsequent
permit terms, if applicable) employing a Restoration Plan in accordance
with Sec. 125.95(b)(5), you must review the Restoration Plan to ensure
it meets the requirements of Sec. 125.95(b)(5). If the Restoration
Plan meets the requirements of Sec. 125.95(b)(5), you must approve the
plan and require the facility to meet the terms of the plan including
any revision to the plan that may be necessary if applicable
performance standards or site-specific requirements are not being met.
In determining whether to approve a Technology Installation and
Operation Plan or Restoration Plan, you must evaluate whether the
design and construction technologies, operational measures, and/or
restoration measures the facility has installed, or proposes to
install, can reasonably be expected to meet the applicable performance
standards in Sec. 125.94(b), restoration requirements in Sec.
125.94(c)(2), and/or alternative site-specific requirements established
pursuant to Sec. 125.94(a)(5), and whether the Technology Installation
and Operation Plan and/or Restoration Plan complies with the applicable
requirements of Sec. 125.95(b). In reviewing the Technology
Installation and Operation Plan, you must approve any reasonable
scheduling provisions that are designed to ensure that impacts to
energy reliability and supply are minimized, in accordance with Sec.
125.95(b)(4)(ii)(A). If the facility does not request that compliance
with the requirements in Sec. 125.94 be measured employing a
Technology Installation and Operation Plan and/or Restoration Plan, or
the facility has not been in compliance with the terms of its current
Technology Installation and Operation Plan and/or Restoration Plan
during the preceding permit term, you must require the facility to
comply with the applicable performance standards in Sec. 125.94(b),
restoration requirement in Sec. 125.94(c)(2), and/or alternative site-
specific requirements developed pursuant to Sec. 125.94(a)(5). In
considering a permit application, you must review the performance of
the design and construction technologies, operational measures, and/or
restoration measures implemented and require additional or different
design and construction technologies, operational measures, and/or
restoration measures, and/or improved operation and maintenance of
existing technologies and measures, if needed to meet the applicable
performance standards, restoration requirements, and/or alternative
site-specific requirements.
(v) You must review and approve the proposed Verification
Monitoring Plan submitted under Sec. 125.95(b)(7) (for design and
construction technologies) and/or monitoring provisions of the
Restoration Plan submitted under Sec. 125.95(b)(5)(v) and require that
the monitoring continue for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate
whether the design and construction technology, operational measures,
and/or restoration measures meet the applicable performance standards
in Sec. 125.94(b), restoration requirements in 125.94(c)(2) and/or
site-specific requirements established pursuant to Sec. 125.94(a)(5).
(vi) If a facility requests requirements based on a site-specific
determination of best technology available for minimizing adverse
environmental impact, you must review the application materials
submitted under Sec. 125.95(b)(6) and any other information you may
have, including quantitative and qualitative benefits, that would be
relevant to a determination of whether alternative requirements are
appropriate for the facility. If a facility submits a study to support
entrainment survival at the facility, you must review and approve the
results of that study. If you determine that alternative requirements
are appropriate, you must make a site-specific determination of best
technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact in
accordance with Sec. 125.94(a)(5). You, as the Director, may request
revisions to the information submitted by the facility in accordance
with Sec. 125.95(b)(6) if it does not provide an adequate basis for
you to make this determination. Any alternative site-specific
requirements established based on new and/or existing design and
construction technologies, operational measures, and/or restoration
measures, must achieve an efficacy that is, in your judgement, as close
as practicable to the applicable performance standards of Sec.
125.94(b) without resulting in costs that are significantly greater
than the costs considered by the Administrator for a like facility in
establishing the applicable performance standards in Sec. 125.94(b),
determined in accordance with Sec. 125.94(a)(5)(i)(A) through (F), or
the benefits of complying with the applicable performance standards at
the facility; and
(vii) You must review the proposed methods for assessing success in
meeting applicable performance standards and/or restoration
requirements submitted by the facility under Sec. 125.95(b)(4)(ii)(D)
and/or (b)(5)(v)(A), evaluate those and other available methods, and
specify how assessment of success in meeting the performance standards
and/or restoration requirements must be determined including the
averaging period for determining the percent reduction in impingement
mortality and entrainment and/or the production of fish and shellfish.
Compliance for facilities who request that compliance be measured
employing a Technology Installation and Operation Plan and/or
Restoration Plan must be determined in accordance with Sec.

and approve the information submitted in the Technology Installation
and Operation Plan in Sec. 125.95(b)(4)(ii) and determine if it meets
the criteria in Sec. 125.99.
(ii) If a person requests approval of a technology under Sec.
125.99(b), the Director must review and approve the information
submitted and determine its suitability for widespread use at
facilities with similar site conditions in its jurisdiction with
minimal study. As the Director, you must evaluate the adequacy of the
technology when installed in accordance with the required design
criteria and site conditions to consistently meet the performance
standards in Sec. 125.94. You, as the Director, may only approve a
technology following public notice and consideration of comment
regarding such approval.
(5) Bi-annual status report. You must specify monitoring data and
other information to be included in a status report every two years.
The other information may include operation and maintenance records,
summaries of adaptive management activities, or any other information
that is relevant to determining compliance with the terms of the
facility's Technology Operation and Installation Plan and/or
Restoration Plan.

Sec. 125.99 What are approved design and construction technologies?

(a) The following technologies constitute approved design and
construction technologies for purposes of Sec. 125.94(a)(4):
(1) Submerged cylindrical wedge-wire screen technology, if you meet
the following conditions:
(i) Your cooling water intake structure is located in a freshwater
river or stream;
(ii) Your cooling water intake structure is situated such that
sufficient ambient counter currents exist to promote cleaning of the
screen face;
(iii)Your maximum through-screen design intake velocity is 0.5 ft/s
or less;
(iv) The slot size is appropriate for the size of eggs, larvae, and
juveniles of all fish and shellfish to be protected at the site; and
(v) Your entire main condenser cooling water flow is directed
through the technology. Small flows totaling less than 2 MGD for
auxiliary plant cooling uses are excluded from this provision.
(2) A technology that has been approved in accordance with the
process described in paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) You or any other interested person may submit a request to the
Director that a technology be approved in accordance with the
compliance alternative in Sec. 125.94(a)(4) after providing the public
with notice and an opportunity to comment on the request for approval
of the technology. If the Director approves the technology, it may be
used by all facilities with similar site conditions under the
Director's jurisdiction. Requests for approval of a technology must be
submitted to the Director and include the following information:
(1) A detailed description of the technology;
(2) A list of design criteria for the technology and site
characteristics and conditions that each facility must have in order to
ensure that the technology can consistently meet the appropriate
impingement mortality and entrainment performance standards in Sec.
125.94(b); and
(3) Information and data sufficient to demonstrate that facilities
under the jurisdiction of the Director can meet the applicable
impingement mortality and entrainment performance standards in Sec.
125.94(b) if the applicable design criteria and site characteristics
and conditions are present at the facility.
