18         Section 6.  Section 373.2505, Florida Statutes, is

19  created to read:

20         373.2505  Permitting requirements for alternative water

21  facilities and electric power plants.--

22         (1)  The Legislature finds that the recent increase in

23  proposed electric power plants that are not subject to the

24  regulatory-review requirements of the Florida Electrical Power

25  Plant Siting Act creates both potential problems and

26  water-supply opportunities. The continued proliferation of

27  inland plants may result in environmental and

28  growth-management problems for the counties in which they are

29  located and can affect the patterns of urban development and

30  demands on water resources if improperly located and

31  inadequately regulated.

    Bill No. CS for SB 2122

    Amendment No. ___   Barcode 824736





  1         (2)(a)  Electric power plants of any generating

  2  technology are encouraged to locate in coastal counties where

  3  they can be colocated with reverse-osmosis facilities or other

  4  similar technologies to desalinate water resources to help

  5  meet potable-water-supply needs. Entities having existing

  6  electric power plant sites located in coastal counties are

  7  encouraged to evaluate modifications, expansions, or additions

  8  that would be colocated with reverse-osmosis or other similar

  9  technologies to desalinate water resources to help meet

10  potable-water-supply needs.

11         (b)  Reverse-osmosis facilities or other similar

12  desalination technologies that are proposed to be colocated

13  with electric power plants are eligible to receive cooperative

14  funding assistance from water management districts created

15  under chapter 373 for those that have cooperative-funding

16  assistance programs for activities designed to promote

17  alternative water supplies.

18         (3)  Notwithstanding other permitting requirements

19  imposed by law, construction permit applications for a new

20  electric plant unrelated to an existing electric power plant

21  site located anywhere within the interior counties immediately

22  contiguous to the most impacted area within the Eastern Tampa

23  Bay water caution area must demonstrate that the sole source

24  of its cooling water will be provided by the reuse of

25  reclaimed wastewater or another nonpotable water source in

26  order to assure protection of groundwater and surface water

27  resources.
