Mr. Neal Thomas Environmental Program Supervisor Environmental Permitting, Compliance and Enforcement Environmental Protection Division 800 Mercy Drive, Suite 4 Orlando, Florida 32808 SUBJECT: CONSERVATION AREA IMPACT APPLICATION - OUC TAFT SUBSTATION RECONFIGURATION, ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA Dear Mr. Thomas: On behalf of Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), Golder Associates Inc. is pleased to submit the attached Conservation Area Impact (CAI) application for the installation of 2 sets of 3-pole transmission structures to interconnect existing 230-kV transmission lines to a new bay within the reconfigured Taft Substation. No new access roads or transmission structure fill pads are being proposed as part of the Project. The proposed monopole transmission structures will be placed through direct-embed installation. Construction laydown and staging areas will be located within the existing developed areas of the substation property and adjacent access roadways. Wetland impacts will be avoided and minimized through use of temporary construction matting to provide access within wetland areas during transmission structure installation. A total of 1.32 acres of temporary construction matting within low quality freshwater marsh wetlands are proposed; the direct-embed installation of 6 monopoles will permanently impact 0.003 acres of wetlands. All areas of temporarily-impacted wetlands will be restored to grade and allowed to naturally regenerate. An Environmental Resource Permit (ERP No. 48-0330467-001) for the Project was issued by FDEP on October 31, 2014; USACE review of the ERP application is currently underway. Should you have any questions or comments concerning this CAI application submittal, please feel free to contact me at 352-336-5600. Sincerely,

Karl Bullock Project Manager cc: M. Kyhos, OUC J. Newell, POWER Engineers, Inc.
