Levy Nuclear Plant – Air Emissions
Particulate Drift from Cooling Towers
Emergency Diesel Generators/Pumps
Avoided CO2 Emissions – Over 14 Million Tons per Year vs. Coal Over 6 Million Tons per Year vs. Natural Gas
CO2 Emission Factors – Various Fuels
Nuclear Life-Cycle CO2 Emissions
Annual Air Emissions Comparison
Cooling Water Needs/Supply
Low Profile Closed-Cycle Cooling Towers will be Used – Reduces Cooling Water needs by ~95%
Over 99% of the Project’s Water Needs are for Steam Condenser Cooling Requirements
Cooling Tower Makeup Water Needs are ~122 MGD
Source:
Cross Florida Barge Canal
CT Blowdown of ~82 MGD
Discharge Location:
Crystal River Energy Complex
CFBC at Inglis Lock – Looking West
CFBC at Inglis Lock – Looking East

Freshwater Needs/Source
Project Requires Freshwater for: Process Boiler Water/Steam Makeup
Process Equipment Cooling System
Potable Water for Drinking/Sanitary
Fire Suppression Systems
Freshwater Quantity Needed is 1.58 MGD
Freshwater Source is Groundwater from Floridan Aquifer via Onsite Wells
Groundwater Well Locations/Drawdown
Groundwater Wells/ Wetland Overlay
Wetland Impacts/Mitigation
Project Property Contains a Significant Amount of Wetlands
Project Site Design/Layout Planned to Avoid/Minimize Wetland Impacts
Total Project Impacts (Plant/Transmission) Currently >400 UMAM Credits
Much of the Mitigation Proposed to occur Onsite, with additional Offsite as Needed
Wetlands Total/ Wetlands Impacted
Water Summary
>95% Reduction in Overall Water Needs with the Use of Cooling Towers
>99% of Project Water Needs Met by Use of Salt Water for Steam Condenser
Cooling
Minimal Aquifer and Wetland Impacts from Groundwater Withdrawals
Wetland Impacts Minimized and Unavoidable Impacts Fully Mitigated
