22-13 Water Supply Plan - Johnston

22-13 Under the water plan, is it correct that Invenergy stated to the EFSB that 2 trucks per day on average will be needed to deliver water? However, Johnston's agreement indicates 3 trucks per day and up to 5 trucks per day will be needed on average to deliver water to the site. Do you agree that information to the EFSB needs to be amended accurately reflect which figure is correct? Please explain and amend as needed.

RESPONSE 22-13

Under the Water Supply Plan, Invenergy stated that: “The range in the number of truck deliveries for normal operations is typically 2 to 3 trucks per day.” (Page 14).

The water supply agreement with the Town of Johnston, Section 2(a), entitled “Flow Rate,” provides an estimate that contemplates that there will be times when truck deliveries cannot be made due to events such as adverse weather or holidays, so the agreement included language to account for these circumstances.  The Agreement specifies that “CREC estimates that up to 3 truck deliveries per day will be required to satisfy expected water use needs of the Project. However, up to five (5) trucks a day may be necessary for certain operational occurrences and weather related impacts.  This is the Average Demand Flow Rate.” (Section 2(a)(i)).  The 3 to 5 trucks per day is a reflection that there are varying plant operations and varying conditions in which trucks can be delivered. The information provided to the EFSB does not need to be amended.
