New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 16 - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE › Chapter X - Certification Of Major Electric Generating Facilities › Subchapter A - Regulations Implementing Article 10 Of The Public Service Law As Enacted By Chapter 388, Section 12, Of The Laws Of 2011 › Part 1001 - Content Of An Application › Section 1001.38 - Exhibit 38: water interconnection

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
If a water interconnection is proposed for the facility,
					 Exhibit 38 shall contain:
(a) An
				  estimate of the hourly and daily peak, and the hourly and daily average water
				  supply needs and consumptive water losses of the facility, in gallons, for each
				  day of a typical year, broken down by power production and domestic uses, with
				  daily, monthly and annual totals.
(b) An estimate of the daily peak, daily
				  average, and fire suppression peak and average flow rate needs of the facility
				  in gallons per minute and a demonstration that an adequate water supply is
				  available (both quantity and pressure) for fire protection during both normal
				  and drought periods.
(c) A
				  description of the methodology used (i.e., estimate, comparison, data,
				  calculation) to prepare the water supply needs and minimum and maximum flow
				  rate estimates stating all factors used.
(d) A description of the water chemistry
				  requirements for water to be supplied to the facility, indicating any
				  requirements that are more stringent than New York State standards for potable
				  water, and describing any additional water treatment that shall be necessary to
				  obtain the desired chemistry.
(e)
				  An identification of the public water supply source or sources, including an
				  identification of the well field(s) in the localized zone, proposed to be used
				  by the facility, including:
(1) studies to
				  assess the available capacity of the water supply source and an analysis of the
				  impacts, in terms of quantity, quality, and pressure during both normal and
				  drought periods of the facility's water use on the water supply system,
				  including an identification of the well field(s) in the localized
				  zone;
(2) an identification of all
				  infrastructure requirements necessary to serve the facility including treatment
				  requirements;
(3) the impact of the
				  facility on excess infrastructure capacity, including distribution piping,
				  mains, pumps, storage, or additional supply during both normal and maximum
				  system demands;
(4) if use of
				  surface water or an on-site well is proposed for water supply for the facility,
				  a qualitative analysis of the water balance and an assessment of the impacts of
				  the removal of the maximum daily withdrawal for the facility, particularly
				  during drought periods, on stream flows and the ecological balance of
				  waterbodies, including hydrogeological studies to clearly demonstrate the
				  effect of this withdrawal on any contaminant plumes that have the potential to
				  be influenced by the proposed well. These studies must state all methods used
				  to promote that this withdrawal will not adversely affect any public or private
				  wells;
(5) if new surface water
				  withdrawal is proposed for water supply for the facility, an identification and
				  description of any water treatment facilities and intake structures including a
				  demonstration that each facility represents best technology available, if
				  applicable; and
(6) an
				  identification and description of any facility water treatment
				  facilities.
