Region Specific Water Plan
• A creative and synergistic approach to
meeting large scale water needs in
South Florida
• Will assist County meeting reuse and
ocean outfall regulatory requirements
• FPL will construct and County will
own/operate a 9 mile reclaimed water
pipeline
• Backup supply only needed when
reclaimed deliveries are not sufficient
– FPL has agreed to a condition limiting the
use to 60 days in a 12 month period
Reclaimed water used by Turkey Point Units 6 & 7 will not compete
with reclaimed water reserved for Everglades restoration
Radial wells have been in use for over 60 years and offer
and minimize environmental impacts
• Design eliminates entrapment
and entrainment of fish and other
species
• Groundwater modeling has
demonstrated no adverse impact
to drinking water supplies or the
environment
• Caisson construction in upland
areas
• Laterals constructed from within
caisson – no dredge and fill
activities in Biscayne Bay
• FPL has proposed use
restrictions to limit the amount
the backup supply would be used

A backup supply is commonly provided when power plants must
rely on municipal waste water production for cooling
17
Existing Paved
Roadways
Two access points
are needed to meet
project needs
SW 328th St.
SW 344th St.
SW 359th St.
Additional culverts will be added as
needed to increase wetland flow
Significant agency, local government consultation and
community outreach was used to develop the corridors
• Integration requires new lines
18
– All lines remain within Miami-Dade
– Extensive outreach to residents was
incorporated into siting study
– Utilizes existing rights of way where
practicable
• Five new power lines are being
proposed
– Approximately 70% within existing
rights-of-way
– Connect site substations
– Eastern corridor (blue)
– One 230 kV line
– Suburban and urban areas
– Western corridor (green)
– One 230 kV line, Two 500 kV lines
– Preferred corridor requires land
exchange in area of ENP
19
Local Government and Public Outreach efforts are an
integral part of the Transmission siting process
Extensive Outreach
• Input from the public and local
governments was solicited up front
in the route selection process and
considered in the selection
– Agency workshops,
– Open houses,
– Meetings with business, civic and
homeowner groups,
– E-surveys for customer input
• FPL encouraged other parties to
file alternate transmission line
corridors for consideration in the
process
– Local governments, groups or
individuals can submit alternates
Open House at Elks Club, South Miami

The choice to allow alternate corridors will ensure all
credible alternates are reviewed on an equal footing
Alternate Corridors
• FPL encouraged other parties to
file alternate transmission line
corridors for consideration in the
process
– Local governments, groups or
individuals can submit alternates
• Five alternate corridors have been
filed and accepted in the PPSA
review process
– Village of Pinecrest/City of Coral
Gables provided an eastern alternate
– National Parks Conservation
Association provided a western
alternate completely out of ENP
– Miami-Dade Limestone Producers
Association offered several western
alternates
Underground line construction is possible, but intensive
and costly
22
Undergrounding Basics
• Cost range: $13.3-$18.5 MM/mile, versus
$2 MM/mile for overhead
• Factors affecting cost include:
– Surface and sub-surface conditions
– Available easements
– Transmission conductor and vault design
• Funding mechanisms include:
– Special assessment, collected by local
government or via local tariff on electric
bill
– Chapter 170 and 190, Florida Statutes
– Dedication of property tax revenues

We are the largest investor-owned electric utility in Florida, covering roughly half the state.
Nationally, FPL is the third-largest utility by number of customers.
We are delivering superior value for our customers.
Our typical monthly customer bills are the lowest of all 55 utilities in the state and 24 percent below the national average.
We provide our customers with 99.98 percent service reliability.
And our power plants are among the cleanest in the entire industry, with a CO2 emissions profile 35 percent better than the national average.
Another choice that local governments and individuals have if they do not like the corridor that FPL chose is to submit an alternate corridor.
To meet the PPSA requirements, an alternate corridor must connect the terminal and other substation points, and it must be a route that is feasible from an engineering standpoint.
The proponent will present the alternate corridor at the certification hearing and put on testimony of why this is a better route.
On the last TLSA project, 14 alternate corridors were submitted and one was certified in most of its entirely. Alternate routes have been submitted by landowners, homeowners groups, agencies and individuals. FPL is available to consult with anyone submitting an alternate corridor.
