Township’s Furlong Sewage Treatment 

Plant (STP) from 116,825 gallons per

D–69–210 CP Final (Revision 12). An 

application for temporary approval to 

modify the Operating Plan of the 

Limerick Generating Station (LGS), a 

nuclear-powered electric generating 

station located in Limerick Township, 

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, 

regarding surface water withdrawal 

restrictions related to ambient water 

temperature in the Schuylkill River. The 

applicant proposes to demonstrate, 

under controlled conditions, that the 

withdrawal of Schuylkill River water 

can continue without adverse impact 

when the background water temperature 

exceeds 59 °F, the maximum 

temperature at which withdrawals can 

be made under the current docket. In 

July 2004, an amended application and 

draft operating and monitoring plan 

were submitted after discussion with 

the Commission staff, the State of 

Pennsylvania and stakeholders. A 

revised draft operating and monitoring 

plan was submitted on October 1, 2004 

and is attached to the draft docket. The 

amended application provides for the 

following: 

• A multi-year demonstration period 

during the remainder of the 2004 season 

through the 2007 season associated with 

flow and temperature restrictions in 

accordance with an approved operating 

and monitoring plan. 

• Withdrawals not to exceed 24 

million gallons per day (mgd) of LGS’

consumptive cooling water needs 

during times when the Schuylkill River 

24-hour average river ambient water 

temperature exceeds 59 °F and when the 

24-hour average river flow is at or below 

1,791 cubic feet per second (cfs) (but 

above 560 cfs) at the gaging station at 

Pottstown. 

• Withdrawals of LGS’ entire 

consumptive cooling water needs 

during times when the Schuylkill River 

24-hour average river ambient water 

temperature exceeds 59 °F and when the 

24-hour average river flow exceeds 

1,791 cfs. 

• Maintenance of minimum flow of at 

least 10 cfs in the East Branch 

Perkiomen Creek at all times in 

accordance with the draft 

Demonstration Operation and 

Monitoring Plan for the Joint Limerick 

Generating Station Water Supply 

Modification Demonstration and 

Wadesville Mine Pool Withdrawal & 

Stream Flow Augmentation Project that 

was submitted by Exelon. 

• Development of recreational flow 

management plans to increase flows in 

the East Branch Perkiomen Creek above 

10 cfs to support specific short-term 

recreational events. 

• Establishment of a restoration and 

monitoring fund based on $0.06/1,000 

gallons of makeup water that is not 

required for LGS consumptive cooling 

water needs due to lifting the 59 °F 

temperature requirement. Flows 

pumped to the EBPC during periods 

when the 59 °F restriction would have 

been in effect, but not used for 

consumptive cooling water needs at the 

LGS, will be credited against this fund. 

• Working with stakeholders 

regarding the design and 

implementation of the demonstration 

and restoration projects during 2005 and 

future years. 

• Test periods with no augmentation/

makeup waters supplied for LGS 

consumptive cooling water needs 

(beyond the minimum 10 cfs flows in 

the East Branch Perkiomen Creek). 

• The continuation of the Wadesville 

Mine Pool withdrawal and Stream Flow 

Augmentation Demonstration Project 

that was approved under Docket No. D–

69–210 CP (Final) (Revision 11) and 

extended for one year by Commission 

Resolution No. 2003–25 adopted 

December 3, 2003. 

In addition to the items listed above, 

the afternoon portion of the 

Commission’s business meeting will 

include the public hearing on a 

resolution to amend the Water Quality 

Regulations, Water Code and 

Comprehensive Plan to designate the 

Lower Delaware River as Special 

Protection Waters. In addition, the 

meeting will include: Adoption of the 

Minutes of the September 1, 2004 

business meeting; announcements; a 

report on Basin hydrologic conditions; a 

report by the executive director; a report 

by the Commission’s general counsel;
