                            Site Description Report

      Fort Calhoun Station
	9610 Power Lane
      Blair, NE 68008
      March 2, 2009

1.0 Background and Objectives

      The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in the process of developing 316(b) cooling water intake structure requirements that reflect the best technology available (BTA) for minimizing adverse environmental impact for all existing power plants and manufacturing facilities. As part of this process, EPA staff is visiting electric generators and manufacturers to better understand the cooling water intake structure (CWIS) technologies in use at facilities, including the site-specific characteristics of each facility and how these affect the selection and performance of CWIS technologies.  EPA is also visiting facilities to better understand cooling water use and specific issues or technologies that can affect 316(b) compliance.  As part of its site visit to the North Omaha Station, EPA also collected information on Omaha Public Power District's (OPPD) Fort Calhoun Station.

2.0 Facility Description

      Fort Calhoun is located about 5 miles northwest of the town of Fort Calhoun in eastern Nebraska.  The facility operates under NPDES permit NE0000418; the permit was renewed on July 1, 2007.

3.0 Electricity Generation and Transmission

      Fort Calhoun is a 492 MW nuclear generating station with one reactor.  It began operations in 1973.  The capacity utilization rate (CUR) is approximately 85%.

      A major outage is scheduled every 18 months, and minor screen maintenance is conducted on a frequent basis.

      The transmission system is owned by OPPD but is operated by a different business unit of the company.

4.0 Cooling Water System and Intake Structure

      Fort Calhoun withdraws once-through cooling water from a CWIS on the shoreline of the Missouri River (at river mile 645.8).  Water passes through a trash rack and then into 6 intake bays; each intake bay has a coarse mesh (3/8") traveling screen and each pair of bays feeds a circulating water pump.  There are three circulating pumps, each with a capacity of 172.8 million gallons per day (mgd, or 120,000 gallons per minute [gpm]).  In total, the facility's design intake flow (DIF) is 518.4 mgd and the average actual intake flow (AIF) is 451 mgd.  The design through-screen velocity ranged is 1.75 feet per second (fps).

5.0 Impingement and Entrainment Information

      Facility representatives noted that a 2mm screen would have clogging problems and likely affect the facility's ability to maintain safe water levels.

6.0 Cooling Tower Feasibility

      Facility representatives have not considered closed-cycle cooling for Fort Calhoun.  They noted a number of problems associated with retrofitting a closed-cycle recirculating system (CCRS): limited land availability and potential conflicts with the NRC operating license.

7.0 Debris Handling

      Fort Calhoun has significant problems with debris, particularly with gravel in the intake water due to intake's location on the bedrock bottom of river.  Materials provided by facility representatives noted that current debris loading poses a substantial challenge for maintaining sufficient water flow; any additional operational challenges might result in nuclear safety concerns.  In addition to the screen overhauls which incur an annualized cost of approximately $315,000, the facility must also clean its condenser once per year, at a cost of approximately $253,000.

      Facility representatives noted that Fort Calhoun is considering installing a weir wall similar to that in place at Cooper Nuclear Station.

      The facility is also able to recirculate warm water to the intake in winter to address icing concerns.

8.0 Repowering/Future Uses

      Fort Calhoun is currently performing an uprating; the facility recently installed a new, larger condenser.  Facility representatives noted that a design criterion was to minimize the time that circulation pumps are offline, as this allows suspended sediment to settle out in the condenser.

9.0 Cooling Ponds

      There are no cooling ponds onsite.

10.0 Ownership

      OPPD is a public utility that is owned by the state of Nebraska.  The entire state is supplied by public power.

11.0 316(a)

      The permits for all OPPD facilities have thermal discharge limits; facility representatives noted that the most troublesome time of year for meeting these limits was in the summer, when the ambient water temperatures are highest.  They added that they have not had any problems meeting state water quality standards, though.

12.0 Ash Handling

      Fort Calhoun does not use coal as a fuel and therefore has no ash ponds.

13.0 Air Emissions Controls

      EPA did not collect any information about air controls at this site.

14.0 Additional Information

      Materials provided by the facility indicate that they will be testing Passavant Geiger screens at Fort Calhoun.

[FRL-9641-3]

Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule: Uncovered
Finished Water Reservoirs; Public Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is hosting a public
meeting on April 24, 2012, concerning information that may inform the
regulatory review of the uncovered finished water reservoir requirement
in the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2 rule). At
this meeting, EPA will provide background information on the LT2 rule's
uncovered finished water reservoir requirement and the agency's Six
Year Review process. EPA also plans to discuss and solicit public input
on data and information related to microbial occurrence of
Cryptosporidium, Giardia, viruses, and other pathogens/indicators in
uncovered finished water reservoirs; public health risks; strategies to
control or remove contaminants in uncovered finished water reservoirs;
and potential assessment approaches to determine the effectiveness of
these control and/or removal strategies. The primary focus of this
meeting is to have a scientific and technical discussion related to
uncovered finished water reservoirs. EPA will consider the data and/or
information discussed at this meeting during the agency's review of the
LT2 rule, which the agency announced as part of EPA's Retrospective
Review Plan under Executive Order (E.O.) 13563 in August 2011.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 (8
a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern Time).

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the EPA East Building,
Room 1153, 1201 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical inquiries, contact,
C[eacute]sar Cordero, Standards and Risk Management Division, Office of
Ground Water and Drinking Water (MC 4607M), Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460 at (202) 564-
3716 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For more information about the LT2 rule
or the Six Year Review Process, visit: http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/rulesregs/sdwa/lt2/ or http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/rulesregs/regulatingcontaminants/sixyearreview/index.cfm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the LT2 rule, promulgated in
2006, is to reduce disease incidence associated with Cryptosporidium
and other disease-causing microorganisms in drinking water. The rule
includes requirements for public water systems to either cover an
uncovered finished water storage facility or treat the storage facility
discharge to address the risk of contamination. The 1996 Amendments to
the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) require EPA to review its existing
drinking water regulations every six years. SDWA (Section 1412(b)(9))
specifies that any revision to a national primary drinking water
regulation ``shall maintain, or provide for greater, protection of the
health of persons.'' In response to E.O. 13563, EPA announced in the
August 2011 document, Improving Our Regulations: Final Plan for
Periodic Review Retrospective Reviews of Existing Regulations, that the
agency would review the LT2 rule. As part of the review, EPA plans to
analyze information and data to evaluate the approaches for managing
risks related to uncovered finished water reservoirs while
``maintaining, or providing for greater, protection of the health of
persons'' as specified in SDWA.
    The public meeting announced in this notice will be the second
meeting related to the LT2 rule hosted by the agency in response to
E.O. 13563. The first meeting occurred on December 7, 2011, and focused
on analytical methods for Cryptosporidium and the source water
monitoring data from the LT2 rule.
    This meeting is open to the public. EPA encourages public input and
will allocate time on the agenda to receive verbal statements. EPA
requests that participants limit statements to the topics described in
the SUMMARY section of this notice and will hold participants to a set
timeframe for their statements. EPA also requests that only one person
present a statement on behalf of a group or organization. Individuals
or organizations interested in presenting a

statement should notify C[eacute]sar Cordero by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>no later than April 20, 2012. Individuals that
have scientific data that they would like EPA to consider during
regulatory review of the uncovered finished water reservoir requirement
are encouraged to email their data to C[eacute]sar Cordero. It would be
helpful to have the data in advance of the public meeting.
    Registration: Individuals planning to participate in the public
meeting must register for the meeting by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>no later than April 20, 2012. Teleconferencing
will be available for individuals unable to attend the meeting in
person. EPA will do its best to include all those interested, but may
have to limit attendance due to room and/or teleconference size
limitations and therefore urges people to register early. When
registering, please include your full name, organization, phone number,
and email address in the body of the email message and indicate whether
you would be participating in person or via teleconference.
Teleconference information will be emailed to registered participants
in advance of the meeting.
