progress energy load revision and update for 2012 ra plan scott m. deitche project engineer
TRANSCRIPT
Background
Bartow plant is decommissioning on-site detention ponds and diverting process water to cooling water intake. Ultimately discharge to Old Tampa Bay.
Summer 2013
Not a “new” discharge. Both atmospheric and unknown groundwater contributions.
Reductions from repowering facility
Repowering of the plant (online in 2009): average atmospheric reduction of 2,726 tons NOx from 2010-2011
For every 100 tons NOx in atmospheric discharge, 0.19% is deposited to the Bay as direct nitrogen loadings (ECT, TECO)
Progress Energy reduced their direct Bay loadings by 5.18 tons from 2010-2011
