				Section  403.855, F.S., or for which the
				State Health Officer in the Department of Health, based upon a written request
				from the Department, has advised the Department in writing is present in
				deleterious amounts. The determination, under this section, of the existence of
				ground water contamination based upon the presence of deleterious amounts shall
				not constitute the establishment of a standard under either Chapter 62-520 or
				62-550, F.A.C. If the concentration of any primary drinking water standard in
				the natural background quality of the ground water is greater than the stated
				maximum contaminant level, the representative background value shall be the
				prevailing standard.
(4) "New
				Potable Water Well" means any excavation that is drilled or bored, or converted
				from non-potable water use, after delineation in an area delineated pursuant to
				Rule 62-524.400, F.A.C., when the intended use of such excavation is for the

				consumption. This does not include repair of an existing potable water
				well.
(5) "Vulnerable area" is an
				area in which research or monitoring data indicate that ground water is
				vulnerable to nitrate contamination because of the presence of potential
				sources of nitrate contamination, and because of land surface and subsurface
				characteristics.

				suitable for injection for extraction of minerals or energy without endangering
				the underground sources of drinking water.
2. No Class III mining activity shall be
				allowed in an underground source of drinking water, or shall result in a
				violation of ground water standards. If the proposed mining activity is in an
				underground source of drinking water, an aquifer exemption pursuant to
				subsection  62-528.300(3),
				F.A.C., shall be obtained prior to the well being placed into
				operation.
Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-528 - UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL › Section 62-528.415 - Operation Requirements for Class I and III Wells

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Class I
				Well Operation Requirements.
Operation requirements for Class I wells shall specify
				  that:
(a) To preserve the integrity of
				the formations, bottom hole (including hydrostatic) pressure shall not exceed a
				maximum so as to ensure that the injection pressure does not initiate new
				fractures or propagate existing fractures in the injection zone, initiate
				fractures in the confining zone, significantly alter the fluid containment
				capabilities of the confining zone, or cause the movement of injection or
				formation fluids into an underground source of drinking water or into an
				essential monitoring zone;
(b) To
				protect the integrity of the well structure, total pressure shall not exceed
				the maximum allowable stress of the materials used to construct the
				well;
(c) The maximum sustained
				injection pressure shall not exceed two-thirds of the most recent mechanical
				integrity test pressure.
(d)
				Injection for disposal purposes is prohibited:
1. Between the casings protecting the
				underground sources of drinking water and the well bore;
2. Through monitor wells or annular monitor
				tubes; or
3. Through wells designed
				to monitor the injection zone except when specifically designed as a temporary
				or standby injection well or approved (in writing) for emergency discharge
				use.
(e) Unless an
				alternative to a packer has been approved under subparagraph
				 62-528.410(1)(e) 
				1., F.A.C., the annulus between the tubing, where required, and the final or
				innermost string of casing shall be filled with a fluid and a pressure shall be
				maintained on the annulus. Both the type of fluid and the proposed pressure
				shall be submitted as part of the construction permit approved by the
				Department;
(f) Injection Fluid
				Velocity.
1. The maximum velocity of injected
				fluid shall not exceed the point where the mechanical limits of the well design
				or structure of the formation will be adversely affected.
2. Except as provided in 3. below, the
				maximum injection velocity of a well that begins operation after June 1, 1985,
				shall not exceed a peak hourly flow of ten feet per second (ft/sec), unless the
				applicant demonstrates that higher velocities will not compromise the integrity
				or operation of the well.
3. An
				injection system may be designed to allow an injection velocity not to exceed a
				peak hourly flow of 12 ft/sec during planned testing, maintenance, or emergency
				conditions when one or more wells are taken out of service if the permittee
				provides the Department with reasonable assurance that the higher velocities
				will not compromise the integrity or operation of the
				well(s).

Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-528 - UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL › Section 62-528.435 - Plugging and Abandonment Criteria and Procedures for Class I and III Wells

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Upon determination by the Department that
				a well poses a threat to waters of the State or within one year of determining
				that a well has been abandoned, the Department shall order the well plugged,
				unless otherwise provided for in a consent order.
(2) Any Class I or III permit shall include
				conditions to ensure that plugging and abandonment of the well will not allow
				the movement of fluids either into an underground source of drinking water or
				from one underground source of drinking water to another. These conditions
				shall include mechanical integrity testing prior to plugging of the injection
				well, or monitor well which penetrates the injection zone or final confining
				unit, if fluid movement through channels adjacent to the injection well bore is
				suspected. Any applicant for an underground injection control permit shall be
				required to submit a plan for plugging and abandonment, which shall address
				post-closure monitoring of the injection operation. The post-closure monitoring
				plan shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of paragraph
				 62-528.425(1)(j),
				F.A.C. Where the plan meets the requirements of this chapter, the Department
				shall incorporate it into the permit as a condition. Where the Department's
				review of an application indicates that the permittee's plan is inadequate, the
				Department shall require the applicant to revise the plan, prescribe conditions
				meeting the requirements of this chapter, or deny the application. Where
				applicable, the plugging and abandonment plan shall address the proposed
				post-closure monitoring.
(3) Prior
				to abandoning Class I or III wells, the well shall be plugged with cement, or
				other materials if a Class III well, in a manner which will not allow the
				movement of fluids either into or between underground sources of drinking
				water. To use other plugging materials for Class III wells, the applicant shall
				demonstrate in the plugging and abandonment permit application that the
				proposed plugging materials will prevent movement of fluids into or between
				underground sources of drinking water.
(4) Placement of the plugging material shall
				be accomplished by one of the following methods:
(a) The Balance Method;
(b) The Dump Bailer Method;
(c) The Two-Plug Method; or
(d) Any other recognized method which is as
				effective or more effective than those listed above for the placement of
				plugging material in a manner that will not allow fluid movement to occur into
				or between underground sources of drinking water.
(e) For wells with an open hole completion,
				the cement shall be emplaced beginning at the deepest point required in the
				permit and upward to land surface or other method approved by the Department
				following the process described in subsection
				 62-528.100(2),
				F.A.C.
