NOTICE OF PROPOSED MODIFICATION

TO TRANSMISSION LINE CERTIFICATION

Florida Power & Light Company has filed request number TA88-06A to authorize a modification to the Crane-Bridge-Plumosus 230 kV Transmission Line Corridor certified on September 7, 1989. This request for modification has been received by the Department of Environmental Protection, under the Transmission Line Siting Act, pursuant to Section 403.5315(2), F.S. The modification, which FPL is pursuing at the request of Florida Atlantic University and the developers of the Scripps Research Park, would allow relocation of approximately 3,500 feet of the existing right-of-way 460 feet to the east to a right-of-way to be provided by Florida Atlantic University within its campus. The new right-of-way would be within the originally certified corridor. However, the original certified corridor shrank to the existing right-of-way housing the Crane-Bridge-Plumosus line and the Plumosus-Riviera 138 kV line as required by Section 403.522(10), Florida Statutes. As such, a modification is necessary to relocate the right of way as requested. The modification will pass through or affect the following local governmental jurisdictions: Palm Beach County and the Town of Jupiter.

A copy of the Request for Modification may be obtained from: Hamilton S. Oven, P.E., Transmission Line Siting Coordinator, Department of Environmental Protection, 2600 Blair Stone Road, MS 48, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, (850)245-8002. Copies of the modification are also available at: Tim Gray, DEP Southeast District, 400 North Congress Avenue, Suite 200, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, (561)681-6600. Parties to the certification proceeding have 45 days from issuance of notice to such party’s last address of record in which to object to the requested modification. Failure of any of the parties to file a response will constitute a waiver of objection to the requested modification. Persons who are not already parties to the certification proceeding and whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed modification and who object to it must file their objections in writing, within 30 days of publication of this notice. Objections must be filed in writing with: the Department of Environmental Protection, Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Dr., Tallahassee, Florida 32399, during normal business hours.
