15. Annual Air Emissions Comparison

16. 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

28. 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

29. Wetlands Total/ Wetlands Impacted

30. 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
