SIGNATURE PAGE AND DISCUSSION Facility Name: Cayuga Operating Company, LLC Signature: C, . "�) Title: Director, Environmental Affairs DISCUSSION: WWA No. For Dept Use Signatory: John Marabella Date: / L l Z L /a" Effective February 15, 2011, New York State Environmental Conservation Law (6 ECL 15-1501) has required that all applications for a NYSDEC Water Withdrawal Permit include a water conservation program. This Water Conservation Program Form (WCPF) is a required submittal of all such applications. The WCPF has been set up to cover the following basic elements of a water conservation program: Source Water Inventory, Water Usage and Metering, Water Auditing, Leak Detection/Repair, and Water Use Reduction. The Best Management Practices listed at the bottom of each page represent DEC water conservation policy objectives and should be incorporated into your program development. Additional water conservation measures that are specific to your category of water usage should also be incorporated into your individual program. Water withdrawal permit applicants can consult the NYSDEC publication entitled "A Survey of Methods for Implementing and Documenting Water Conservation in New York".

Printed Name of Registered Professional Engineer 077225 (State of New York) License Number of Professional Engineer Signature of Registered Professional Engineer 11 Aueust 2020 Date ERM 1 CAYUGA OPERATING COMPANY LLC ]OAUGUS 202O.DOCX 7.0 GENERAL DESCRIPT70N AND HISTORY This Engineer's Report, consistent with 6 NYCRR Part 601.10(e), summarizes the engineer's observations on how the existing water withdrawal system is currently configured and operated to support the cooling water needs of the Cayuga Operating Company facility located in Lansing, New York. The facility in Tompkins County owned by Cayuga Operating Company, LLC (formerly referred to as Cayuga Station and hereafter, Cayuga) previously existed as a 306 Megawatt (MM coal-fired electricity generating facility that had been in operation since the 1950's until ceasing operation in 2020. Waste heat formerly generated during the electrical power production was dissipated via a once -through cooling water system. Now, the facility will maintain water withdrawal capabilities in a reduced capacity for future once -through cooling purposes at the property. Current cooling water withdrawal capacity from Cayuga Lake will be at an approximate maximum rate of 43 thousand gallons per minute (kgpm). Cooling water enters the existing facility from an offshore intake and will potentially pass through heat exchangers before being discharged back to the Iake from a surface outfall structure located on the shoreline. The intake structure was retrofitted in 2016 with wedgewire screens to physically prevent fish or other aquatic organisms from entering the cooling water system. Cayuga will maintain water withdrawal capability equivalent to approximately 25.4% of the historical withdrawal rate. Only one of the existing water circulating pumps or equivalent installed pump capable of approximately 42,250 gpm will be operational for purposes of cooling for future equipment needs at the site. Additionally, one smaller house service pump capable of 700 gpm provides water for ancillary services on site while the larger circulator pumps remain off. The house service pump withdraws from Cayuga Lake continuously. Two emergency fire pumps are present at the facility, one with a rated capacity of 2,000 gpm, the other with a capacity of 1,000 gpm. These pumps contributing to water withdrawal have a combined maximum withdrawal rate of 45,950 gpm or approximately 66 million gallons a day (MGD). The operating schedule and typical flow rates for the larger pump is not yet known, and will be based on the future development projects at the site. ERM 1 CAYUGAOPERAIINGCOMPANY LLC19AUGUSF=.DOCX Cooling water enters the facility through an array of brush cleaned wedge -wire screens situated 633 feet from shore at a depth of approximately 44 feet (Figures 5 & 6). This intake manifold replaced the previous intake arrangement in 2016. Water is delivered to the facility via a partially buried steeI intake pipe with a diameter of 8 feet. The discharge structure at Cayuga is a concrete box -like structure, approximately 13 -feet high, 10 -feet wide, and 20 -feet Iong (Figure 7). Circulating water is discharged into the east end of the box through an 8 -ft diameter pipe. Approximately 14 feet of the western portion of the top of the box and 7 feet of the upper portion of the west end are open. The lower 6 feet of the west wall forms a weir. Water is discharged out of the structure over the weir at a depth ranging from 4 to 7 feet, depending on lake level and the number of circulating pumps in operation. Previously flow patterns observed within the discharge structure are largely turbulent for most of its length. However, flow over the weir wall at the west end is fairly laminar with high velocities under typical operations (about 6 fps). Given the reduction in capacity it is expected there will be a commensurate drop in the maximum velocity to about 25% or 1.5 fps. The discharge structure is adjacent to a discharge pool. The pool is turbulent with back eddies and cross currents. When the water level in the lake is relatively high, usually in the spring through fall (approximately 382 feet mean sea level), the discharge water exits from the pool directly to the west over a gravel bar that runs north and south about 200 to 250 feet west of the structure. As the lake Ievel is lowered to winter levels (approximately 380.5 feet mean sea level), the discharge water exits from the pool to the south, parallel to the shoreline and gravel bar. The water withdrawal system is currently operational and the following documents were used to assist in the preparation of this engineer's report (refer to Appendix B for Engineering Report documents). • Facility SPDES Permit Number NY0001333 • Impingement and Entrainment Characterization Study, (Henningson, Durham & Richardson Architecture and Engineering, P.C., In Association with HDR Engineering, Inc., March 2010) • AES Design and Technology Construction Review, (ASA Analysis & Communication, Inc., June 2010) • USGS Surface Water Data for USA: USGS Surface Water Daily Statistics • Cornell University - Cayuga Lake Modelling Project, July, August, and ERM 2 CA7ILCAOPERKMGCOAIPANYLLC 10AUGU57M20.DOCX September 2013 2.0 GENERAL MAP OF PROJECT Refer to Appendix A Figures 3 through 7 for the site location map in the cooling water piping schematic, system drawings and figures. Photos referenced on the drawing are Iocated in the photo -log included as Appendix E. The water withdrawal is not a public supply withdrawal; thus, service area maps are not needed. There are no wellhead protection areas or dams associated with this lake -water withdrawal 3.0 WATER SOURCE CAPACFTYAND SYSTEM DEMAND CALCULATIONS 3.1 WATER SOURCE Cayuga Lake is one of the Finger Lakes, located within Seneca, Cayuga, and Tompkins counties in central New York. It drains a predominantly agricultural watershed; discharging to the north via the Cayuga -Seneca Canal, which is part of the Seneca -Oneida -Oswego River system that eventually drains to Lake Ontario. It is the longest and second largest by area of the Finger Lakes. The city of Ithaca is located at the southern end of the lake, and the village of Seneca Falls is located just west of the outlet at the northern terminus. Cayuga Lake is approximately 38 miles long from south to the north, and averages about 1.75 miles wide. It is approximately 3.5 miles across at its widest point, near Aurora NY. At the Cayuga station, the lake measures about 1.6 miles across. Surface area of the lake is approximately 66.4 square miles (42,500 acres). Normal water surface elevation is 382 feet (116.4 m) above mean sea level. The maximum depth of the lake is 435 feet, and the average depth is 179 feet. Volume is estimated at 331,080 million cubic feet (9,380 million cubic meters) at a lake elevation of 381 feet. The Cayuga Lake watershed covers about 1,620 square miles. Roughly half of that land area drains directly into the lake and its immediate tributaries, and the other half is in the Seneca and Keuka Lake watersheds, which enter Cayuga Lake via the Seneca River near the outlet. Land use within the Cayuga Lake watershed is predominantly agriculture, with areas of forest and residential development. There are 44 municipalities and six counties that are all or partially within the watershed. The watershed is home to over 120,000 people. ERAI 3 CAYUGA OPERAMC; COMPANY LLC 10AUGUSPIMODOCX The water level of the lake is regulated by Mud Lock at the north end. The lake has been connected to Lake Ontario by the Erie Barge Canal system since 1828. The lake is also connected by the Seneca River to Seneca Lake. Cayuga Lake is drawn down about two feet in mid- December to minimize ice damage and for maximizing storage during the period of heavy spring runoff. Water levels are at their lowest in the winter and are allowed to rise slowly in the spring with snowmelt and runoff in anticipation of summer recreation and navigation needs. Seneca River, which passes through the north end of the Iake, is the largest tributary. The next largest tributaries, Cayuga Inlet and Fall Creek, flow into the southern portion of Cayuga Lake. Numerous small streams, intermittent streams, and gullies drain from the west and east directly to Cayuga Lake. Stream flow patterns are typically seasonal, with high flows in March and April, and low flows in August and September. Table 1 provides a summary of annual rainfall as recorded by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) monitoring site over a 24 -year period. The average rainfall for the area in close proximity to the Cayuga Station over this 24 year period is 39.1 inches. Please note that the years provided in Table 1 are for years when a complete data set is provided by the NOAA website. Table 1- Annual Rainfall Sunnnary Year Rainfall (in) Year Rainfall (in)l 2013 41.98 2000 37.96 2012 33.31 1999 31.42 2011 47.54 1996 47.57 2005 39.67 1995 34.66 2003 43.06 1994 43.44 2001 31.79 1989 36.95 Average: 39.11 Estimates of Cayuga Lake's average hydraulic retention time vary from 5.1 years with Seneca River flows included (Likens 1974) to 12.8 years with Seneca River flows excluded (Oglesby 1978). Given the high probability of Seneca River flow-through at the north end of the lake, actual hydraulic retention times are likely to be greater in the southern portion of the lake basin and shorter in the northern portion. The Cayuga facility withdraws cooling water from Cayuga Lake at a maximum withdrawal rate of 66 million gallons a day (MGD) and discharges over 99% of this water back to the lake via its cooling ERM 4 �AYOUAJPERAT1NGCOMPANY LLC10AUC;USr=.DOCX system. Historically the maximum consumptive water use of the facility was approximately 0.7 MGD. Given that the power plant has shut down this consumptive use will be substantially lower still. Cayuga Lake contains 2,476,478 million gallons (MG) of water with a residence time on average of 5.1 years. Among other streams that feed Cayuga Lake, the Seneca River contributes an annual average flow of 253 MGD (per USGS gage 04232730). Past operations have not resulted in adverse impacts on lake quality or water resources. Using the installed pump capacity and the current operations of the facility as of July 2020, Table 2 below presents the projected average water withdrawal of the facility under current operations as well as the maximum possible withdrawal.

Because of the size of the upstream basin (1,620 square miles), a table of other water withdrawals is not provided due to the expected magnitude of such an effort. Moreover, the existing intake has not had any adverse impact on the volume of Cayuga Lake therefore, consideration of other withdrawal information would not be expected to affect the intake's existence or its withdrawal volumes as over 990 of this volume is returned to the lake. There is no need for a separate, more detailed supply evaluation report, given the reliability of the information source(s) cited and that >99% of the cooling water used by Cayuga Station is returned to Cayuga Lake. The maximum cooling water flow of 66 MGD taken in by a cooling water pump (see Section 3.3 for further discussion of withdrawal rates) constitutes approximately 1.0% of the volume annually of the lake. This flow is returned from generating units to Cayuga Lake through a single outfall at a maximum temperature of 98 °F as conditionally required by the facility's state pollutant discharge elimination system (SPDES) permit (ID No. NY0001333) ERh1 5 CAYIJGAOPERATING COMPANY LLC 10Aucu5r-o-wDOCX 3.2 WITHDRAWAL CONFIGURATION Water is obtained from Cayuga Lake using an existing intake pipe located at the lake bottom that supplies water for the cooling system as well as other facility water uses. The steel intake pipe is 8 feet in diameter and extends over outward into the lake. Water enters the intake pipe via an array of brush cleaned wedge -wire screens situated 633 feet from shore at a depth of approximately 44 feet. This screened intake system replaced the previous intake arrangement in 2016. Water exiting the cooling system is discharged into a concrete discharge tunnel, leading to an existing 8 foot steel pipe extending to the lakeshore. Cooling water was previously used for the power generation system, where water withdrawal was driven by four 350 horsepower (HP) pumps, each rated at 42,250 gpm. One of the existing pumps or equivalent installed pump will provide water for a future cooling operation. An additional house service pump (700 gpm) contributes to water withdrawal from Cayuga Lake for purposes of ancillary facility water uses. The approximate pumping capacity was calculated based pump curve readings and falls within just over 0.5% of maximum permitted withdrawal included in the SPDES permit. Descrepencies between the two numbers could be attributed to the accuracy of reading the pump curves. Circulating water pumps are manually controlled depending on cooling water requirements. 3.3 WATER DEMAND Due to the shutdown of the coal operating units,the non -contact maximum cooling water flow has been lowered to 66MGD. The cooling water demand fluctuates and is dependent upon the pumps operating. The instantaneous demand and daily maximum demand that can be supplied are the same, as it is operationally limited by pump capacity, as discussed below. The SPDES permit provides for a maximum thermal discharge temperature of 36.7°C (98°F). The new cooling system is designed to provide once -through cooling water for a system not yet specified at a maximum withdawal rate of 42,950 gpm (45,950 gpm including withdrawal capacity of fire pumps). The rejected heat cannot be quantified as the process has not yet been specified, therefore a precise thermal balance cannot be calculated. The previously existing cooling system at the facility involved cooling water flow rates up to 169,000 gpm with rejected heat at approximately 1,392.6 MMBTU/hr, resulting in a maximum temperature rise of 16.5°F. This temperature change suggested ERM 6 CAVUG-OPERA'PINGCOAIPANYLUCIOAUGUM020.DOC% a maximum Iake water inlet temperature of 81.5°F (27.5°C). The future cooling system is expected to have a temperature rise Iess than or equal to that of the previous system. Cornell University has collected various data including temperature at depth at 9 sample points from the South end to the North end with sample point #4 & 5 labelled as South and North of the power plant. This data indicates that the highest temperatures are in late summer August - September time frame with the temperatures recorded at approximately 21°C (69.8 °F). This data indicates that the Cayuga plant will not have difficulty with maintaining compliance with the SPDES permit thermal criteria. The projected future cooling water demand is no greater than what is provided by the current pumps. This is not a public water system; thus demand information for such a system is not included in this report. Appendix F provides the most recent annual water withdrawal reporting form. 4.0 EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES AND PROJECTJUSTIFICATION Consistent with the guidance provided by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), evaluation of alternatives and project justification are unnecessary for existing water withdrawals that were reported prior to 15 February 2012. .0 WATER CONSERVATION Apart from the existing flow regulation and monitoring for piping system leaks, there is no justification for establishing additional formal programs to conserve water. This is because the application is only for non - consumptive, once -through noncontact cooling without significant evaporative or product losses. As stated earlier in this report, greater than 99% of the amount of water withdrawn from the lake is returned to the lake after use. Flow reporting is submitted to the NYSDEC monthly on the daily operating data report. The requisite Water Conservation Form has been included in Appendix D. 6.0 OTHER APPRO VAL SIR E Q UIREMENTS Project plans are not needed for this withdrawal, as it is an existing water withdrawal system. f.Rm 7 CAYUGA OPERMINGCOMPANY LLC ICAUGU51' MO DOCX Water Analyses - Cooling water flow back to the lake is independent and not sampled in combination with site stormwater, process water, and service water. Thus, there are no specific analytical data for the cooling water returns exclusively, with the exception of the SPDES permit requirements that include monitoring flow, thermal discharge requirements (e.g. intake and discharge with a 98 °F (36.7°C) maximum) and total residual chlorine during periods of chlorination, if any. It is noted that the outfall serves as the non -contact lake cooling water discharge point. 7.0 BIBLIOGRAPHY The following documents were used to assist in the preparation of the Cayuga Station Water Withdrawal Engineering Report. • Facility SPDES Permit Number NY0001333 • Impingement and Entrainment Characterization Study, (Henningson, Durham & Richardson Architecture and Engineering, P.C., In Association with HDR Engineering, Inc., March 2010) • AES Design and Technology Construction Review, (ASA Analysis & Communication, Inc., June 2010) • USGS Surface Water Data for USA: USGS Surface Water Daily Statistics • Cornell University - Cayuga Lake Modelling Project, July, August, and September EFM 8 CAYUGAOPEtAT1NGCOMPANYLLC 1DAUGUSf2020LDOCX Appendices Appendix A Drawings CAYUGA LAKE g `o CLEARWATER McH.A GE9�!OSTI1W0hTERAS UNITB I A 2 i - CONDENSER } COOLING WATER UNaTS I a 2 HYDROGEN L OIL COOLING WATER FLOOR CRAM CAYUGA LLC WATER DIAGRAM As of July 2020 - Changes for Potential Future Operations Not Yet Known RECYCLE RON71NGENCn ,i COAL ALE RUNOFF IMANIENAN CE ICONTINGENCY EAWASTE FROM OTHER GENERATING FACILMES 4 COAL PILE STORAGE &I ACRES FUEL a!

SIGNATURE PAGE AND DISCUSSION Facility Name: Cayuga Operating Company Signature: G` Title: Director, Environmental Affairs DISCUSSION: WWA No. For Dept Use Signatory: John Marrabella Date: /L142-12., Effective February 15,201 ],New York State Environmental Conservation Law ($ECL 15-1501) has required that all applications for a NYSDEC Water Withdrawal Permit include a water conservation program. This Water Conservation Program Form (WCPF) is a required submittal of all such applications. The WCPF has been set up to cover the following basic elements of a water conservation program: Source Water Inventory, Water Usage and Metering, Water Auditing, Leak Detection/Repair, and Water Use Reduction. The Best Management Practices Iisted at the bottom of each page represent DEC water conservation policy objectives and should be incorporated into your program development. Additional water conservation measures that are specific to your category of water usage should also be incorporated into your individual program. Water withdrawal permit applicants can consult the NYSDEC publication entitled "A Survey of Methods for Implementing and Documenting Water Conservation in New York".
