In Seven Minutes X 2
Why What Intersection with Reliability Costs Coordination
4
AB 32 – Why?
5
IMPACTS TO CALIFORNIA’S ENVIRONMENTFROM GLOBAL WARMING
Increased fire riskSea level riseLoss of snow pack Heat waves that threaten public
health, worsen air pollution and threaten animal health (…)
6
IMPACTS TO CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMYFROM GLOBAL WARMING
Floods Reduced water storage Crop Loss Impacts on tourism (…)

2005 Executive Order Established Statewide GHG Targets
By 2010, Reduce to 2000 Emission Levels
By 2020, Reduce to 1990 Emission Levels
By 2050, Reduce to 80% Below 1990 Levels

AB 32 – What?
Emissions Cap: Reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020

SWRCB Once-Through Cooling Program (OTC)
15
OTC – Why?
16(modified from Raimondi)
(> 3/8 inch)
17
Impacts from Once-through Cooling
Impingement in intakes: adult fish and other large organisms, including (e.g., turtles)
Entrainment through the plant: larval fish and other plankton, 100% mortality
18
Impinged fish Entrainment: fish larvae
Traveling (intake) screen Impinged organism disposal
19
OTC – What?
Federal and State Law
- Section 316(b) CWA
Federal Regulation
- 40 CRF 125.90(b)
State Policy (ETA: June 2008)
20
OTC – What?
Permitting authorities must develop case-by-case best professional judgment controls for existing facility cooling water intake structures that reflect the best technology available for minimizing environmental impact
[40 CFR 125.90 (b)]

22
Existing Coastal Power Plants
19 active plants with approximately 16 billion gallons per day sent through the once-through cooling water systems.
23
OTC – Costs?
Will depend upon approach taken by the State Board
State Board welcomes constructive input
Make sure they are aware of plant-specific facts
24
OTC - Coordination
State Board and ISO State Board and CEC/PUC State Board and
Stakeholders Understanding that rollout
schedule must take into account reliability
