The operator must minimize impingement mortality of fish and shellfish through use of cooling water intake design and construction technologies or operational measures. New Fixed Facilities that do aot empioy sea chests as infake structures 1. The cooling water intake structure must be designed and constructed so that the ‘maximum through-screen design intake velocity is 0.5 fs; and 2. ‘The operator must minimize impingement mortality of fish and shellfish and minimize entrainment of entrainable life stages of fish and shellfish through the use of cooling water intake design and construction technologies or operational measures. ‘New Fixed Facilities chat Employ Sea Chests as Intake Structures ‘The cooling water intake structure(s) must be designed and constructed so that the ‘maximum through-screen design intake velocity is 0.5 fs or less; and 2. The operater must minimize impingement mortality of fish and shellfish through cooling water intake design and construction technologies or operational measures. Monitoring Requirements ‘New non-Fixed Facilities 1, Beginning two years after the effective date of this permit, the operator must ‘conduct either visual inspections or use remote monitoring devices during the period the cooling water intake structure is in operation. The operator must conduct visual inspections at least weekly, or at a lesser frequency as approved by the director, to ensure that the required design and construction technologies are maintained and operated so they continue to function as designed. Alternatively, the operator must inspect using remote monitoring devices to ensure that the impingement and entrainment technologies are functioning as designed. However, visual or remote monitoring is not required when conditions such as storms, high seas, evacuation, or other factors make it unduly hazardous to
