topics Brief overview of rule Applicability exemptions, Waivers, and BPJ determinations Permit Applications, reductions requests, and Alternative Submittal schedules Potential Permit requirements

Section 316(b) of the clean water act requires EPA to issue regulations on the design and operation of intake structures, in order to minimize adverse environmental impacts. goal is to reduce impingement mortality and entrainment of fish and other aquatic organisms at cooling water intake structures (CWISs) used by certain power generation and manufacturing facilities in withdrawals of cooling water from waters of the United States (WOTUS).

regulations New facilities - 40 cfr §§ 125.80-89 Existing facilities - 40 cfr §§ 125.90-99 Application Requirements- 40 CFR § 122.21(r)

applicability Point Source cooling water intake structure Design intake flow greater than 2MGD Waters of the united states Greater than 25% of actual intake flow used for cooling purposes

Exemptions and Waivers Public water systems Independent suppliers (certain circumstances) Reuse Waivers: Stocked and Managed Fisheries – renewed each permit action

Bpj determinations 40 CFR § 125.90(b) Point source Cooling water intake structure Below threshold for applicability

Permit Application Technical report Item 12 Worksheet 11.0 – cooling water intake information Worksheet 11.1 – compliance with impingement mortality standard Worksheet 11.2 – source water biological information Worksheet 11.3 – Compliance with Entrainment Mortality

Entrainment monitoring Reduction requests Entrainment monitoring for new facilities: Phase I - 40 CFR § 125.86 Demonstrate costs associated with entrainment monitoring are wholly out of proportion with EPA estimates. Percent of revenue basis

Alternative submittal schedule for application requirements Permits expiring prior to 7/14/2018 Submit request with application Permits expiring after 7/14/2018 Submit minor amendment to incorporate into permit Must be issued prior to 7/14/2018

Potential Permit requirements General operation and maintenance procedures Intake volume caps Intake velocity monitoring Best engineering practices for minimizing intake flows Site specific requirements for endangered species
