AB 1552 California Assembly · 2009-2010 Regular Session

Water: coastal powerplants.

Summary
Existing law establishes the policy of the state with respect to water quality as it relates to the coastal marine environment. This bill would provide that for a municipally owned coastal powerplant that is not new, as defined, the best available technology for a municipally owned powerplant shall be evaluated on a facility-wide basis using design flow. The bill would also provide that considerations regarding the feasibility of installing the best available technology shall rely on a specified definition of "feasibility." The bill would require the State Water Resources Control Board's statewide water quality control policy on the use of coastal and estuarine waters for powerplant cooling to allow municipally owned coastal powerplants to comply with certain requirements.
