The sound level meter shall be operated in accordance with
				  the instrument manufacturer's instructions and as follows:
(1) Microphone Orientation. The microphone
				shall be oriented in relation to the source of the sound in accordance with
				instrument manufacturer's instructions. Where the instruction manual is vague
				or does not include adequate information, a specific recommendation shall be
				obtained from the manufacturer.
(2)
				Meter Setting. The meter shall be set for the A-weighted network and fast
				response.
(3) Calibration Check. An
				external calibration check shall be made before and after each period of use
				and at intervals not exceeding 2 hours when the instrument is used longer than
				a 2 hour period.
(4) Meter Reading.
				The recorded reading shall be the highest sound level obtained as the vehicle
				passes by, disregarding unrelated peaks due to extraneous ambient
				noises.
(5) Ambient Sound.
				Measurements shall be made only when the A-weighted ambient sound level,
				including wind effects and all sources other than the vehicle being measured,
				is at least 10 dB lower than the sound level of the
				vehicle.

Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-18 - VEHICLE SOUND MEASUREMENT › Section 62-18.070 - Highway Measurement Sites

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
Sites for measuring sound from vehicles operated on highways
				  shall meet the following requirements:
(1) Standard Sites. Standard measuring sites
				shall be open and free of sound-reflecting surfaces within a 100' foot radius
				of the microphone and a 100' foot radius of the microphone point as shown in
				Figure 1.
Click
				  here to view image
(2) Restricted Sites. Restricted measuring
				sites which do not meet standard site requirements because of large
				sound-reflecting surfaces within the clear area (see Figure 2) may be used by
				applying correction factors determined from the following procedure.

Figure 2
(a)
				Distance from sound-reflecting surfaces. The distances between the microphone
				line and its nearest sound-reflecting surface and between the centerline of the
				lane of travel and its nearest sound-reflecting surface shall be measured.
				These distances shall be located on the nomogram in Figure 3 on their
				respective axes, and the two marks shall be connected by a straight line. The
				point on the central axis that is intersected by the straight line indicates
				the dB correction factor that shall be applied to the sound level reading
				obtained from each vehicle passing through the site. (The dotted line in Figure
				3 illustrates a - 2dB correction for sound-reflecting surfaces at 52' feet from
				the center of the lane of travel and 25' feet from the microphone line.)
1. The correction factors determined by the
				nomogram in Figure 3 shall be used only for sound-reflecting surfaces that are
				parallel to the lane of travel.
2.
				Basically parallel surfaces may have irregularities or projections of not more
				than 2 feet, measured perpendicular to the lane of travel, with the distance
				shown in Figures 2 and 3 measured from the nearest projecting
				surfaces.
3. Sound-reflecting
				surfaces not basically parallel to the lane of travel shall be 100 feet or more
				from the microphone and microphone point. This restriction does not apply to
				surfaces that are perpendicular to the lane of travel and behind the parallel
				surface for which corrections are made, such as a fence, or the side walls of a
				building.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
The following statement of general water resource
				  implementation policy shall guide Department review of water management
				  programs, rules, and plans. Water management programs, rules and plans, where
				  economically and environmentally feasible, not contrary to the public interest,
				  and consistent with Florida law, shall seek to:
(1) Water Supply.
(a) Promote the availability of sufficient
				water for natural systems, and sufficient and affordable water for all existing
				and future reasonable-beneficial uses. Uses of water authorized by a permit
				shall be limited to reasonable-beneficial uses.
(b) Promote water resource development and
				water supply development pursuant to Sections
				 373.0361 and
				 373.0831, F.S.
(c) Reserve, by rule, water from use by
				permit applicants, in such locations and quantities, and for such seasons of
				the year, as in the judgment of the District or Department, may be required for
				the protection of fish and wildlife, or the public health and safety. Such
				reservations shall be subject to periodic review and revision in light of
				changed conditions. However, all presently existing legal uses of water shall
				be protected so long as such use is not contrary to the public
				interest.
(d) Champion and develop
				sound water conservation practices and public information programs.
(e) Advocate and direct the reuse of
				reclaimed water as an integral part of water and wastewater management
				programs, rules, and plans consistent with protection of the public health and
				surface and ground water quality.
(f) Improve the efficiency and effectiveness
				of reuse of reclaimed water by encouraging those uses that increase potable
				quality water offsets or recharge fractions, where consistent with water
				quality protection.
(g) Encourage
				the use of water of the lowest acceptable quality for the purpose
				intended.
(h) Encourage the
				development of local and regional surface and ground water supplies within
				districts rather than transfer water across District boundaries.
(i) Encourage the use of water from sources
				nearest the area of use or application whenever practical, in accordance with
				and subject to the limitations of Sections
				 373.016(4)(a) and
				(b), and
				 373.1962(9),
				 373.1963,
				 373.223(3),
				 373.229(3),
				F.S.
(j) Encourage demand
				management and the development of alternative water supplies, including water
				conservation, reuse of reclaimed water, desalination, stormwater and industrial
				wastewater recycling, recharge, and aquifer storage and recovery.
(k) Protect aquifers and surface waters from
				depletion through water conservation, use of alternative water supplies,
				implementation of water shortage plans, and preservation of the functions of
				high recharge areas.
Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-40 - WATER RESOURCE IMPLEMENTATION RULE › Section 62-40.410 - Water Supply Protection and Management

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
The following shall apply when the use of water is regulated
				  pursuant to Part II of Chapter 373, F.S.:
(1) No permit shall be granted to authorize
				the use of water unless the applicant establishes that the proposed use is a
				reasonable-beneficial use, will not interfere with presently existing legal
				uses of water, and is consistent with the public interest.
(2) In determining whether a water use is a
				reasonable-beneficial use, the following factors will be considered:
(a) The quantity of water requested for the
				use;
(b) The demonstrated need for
				the use;
(c) The suitability of the
				use to the source of water;
(d) The
				purpose and value of the use;
(e)
				The extent and amount of harm caused;
(f) The practicality of mitigating any harm
				by adjusting the quantity or method of use;
(g) Whether the impact of the withdrawal
				extends to land not owned or legally controlled by the user;
(h) The method and efficiency of
				use;
(i) Water conservation
				measures taken and available to be taken;
(j) The feasibility of alternative sources
				such as reclaimed water, stormwater, aquifer storage and recovery, brackish
				water and salt water;
(k) The
				present and projected demand for the source of water;
(l) The long-term yield available from the
				source of water;
(m) The extent of
				water quality degradation caused;
(n) Whether the proposed use would cause or
				contribute to flood damage;
(o)
				Whether the proposed use would significantly induce or increase saltwater
				intrusion;
(p) The amount of water
				which can be withdrawn without causing harm to the resource;
(q) Whether the proposed use would adversely
				affect public health; and,
(r)
				Whether the proposed use would significantly affect natural
				systems.
Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-40 - WATER RESOURCE IMPLEMENTATION RULE › Section 62-40.411 - Water Shortage

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) To the extent
				practical, the Districts shall seek to achieve a consistent approach to water
				shortage phases and related restrictions, particularly where political
				jurisdictions fall within more than one District.
(2) Except when an emergency order is issued
				under Sections  373.175 and
				 373.246, F.S., when a District
				declares a phased water shortage, it will impose water use restrictions in a
				minimum of three and a maximum of four phases depending upon the severity of
				the shortage. The phases are as follows:
(a) A
				"moderate" water shortage shall result in the imposition of Phase 1 water
				restrictions.
(b) A "severe" water
				shortage shall result in the imposition of Phase 2 water
				restrictions.
(c) An "extreme"
				water shortage shall result in the imposition of Phase 3 water
				restrictions.
(d) A "critical"
				water shortage shall result in the imposition of Phase 4 water
				restrictions.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
The following shall apply to the transfers of surface and
				  ground water where such transfers are regulated pursuant to Part II of Chapter
				  373, F.S.:
(1) The transfer or use of
				surface water across District boundaries shall require approval of each
				involved District. The transfer or use of ground water across District
				boundaries shall require approval of the District where the withdrawal of
				ground water occurs.
(2) In
				deciding whether the transfer and use of surface water across District
				boundaries is consistent with the public interest pursuant to Section
				 373.223, F.S., the Districts
				shall consider the extent to which:
(a)
				Comprehensive water conservation and reuse programs are implemented and
				enforced in the area of need;
(b)
				The major costs, benefits, and environmental impacts have been adequately
				determined including the impact on both the supplying and receiving
				areas;
(c) The transfer is an
				environmentally and economically acceptable method to supply water for the
				given purpose;
(d) The present and
				projected water needs of the supplying area are reasonably determined and can
				be satisfied even if the transfer takes place;
(e) The transfer plan incorporates a regional
				approach to water supply and distribution including, where appropriate, plans
				for eventual interconnection of water supply sources; and,
(f) The transfer is otherwise consistent with
				the public interest based upon evidence presented.
Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-40 - WATER RESOURCE IMPLEMENTATION RULE › Section 62-40.425 - Watershed Management

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) A comprehensive
				watershed approach provides an important tool for managing the cumulative
				impacts of human activities. Where possible, the Department and Districts shall
				promote a watershed management approach for addressing water quality, water
				supply, natural systems, and floodplain management and flood protection issues,
				and shall encourage the development of comprehensive watershed management
				plans.

(3) As part of SWIM plans or other watershed
				management plans, programs, or rules, the Department, water management
				districts, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and local
				governments are encouraged to implement protection measures as appropriate to
				enhance or preserve surface water resources. Protection measures shall be based
				on scientific evaluations of targeted surface waters and the need for
				enhancement or preservation of these surface water resources. Protection
				measures shall include a combination of nonstructural pollution prevention best
				management practices and structural best management
				practices.

Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-40 - WATER RESOURCE IMPLEMENTATION RULE › Section 62-40.430 - Water Quality

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Standards.
(a) Water quality standards shall be enforced
				pursuant to Chapters 403 and 373, F.S., to protect waters of the State from
				point and nonpoint sources of pollution.
(b) State water quality standards adopted by
				Department rule shall be a part of the Florida Water Plan.
Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-40 - WATER RESOURCE IMPLEMENTATION RULE › Section 62-40.431 - Stormwater Management Program

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1)
				Effective stormwater management is essential to reduce existing nonpoint source
				pollution problems and to protect surface water resources from stormwater
				pollution from existing and new land uses.
(2) The following goals are established to
				provide guidance for Department, District and local government stormwater
				management programs:
(a) The primary goals of
				the state's stormwater management program are to maintain, to the maximum
				extent practical, during and after construction and development, the
				pre-development stormwater characteristics of a site; to reduce stream channel
				erosion, pollution, siltation, sedimentation and flooding; to reduce stormwater
				pollutant loadings discharged to waters to preserve or restore designated uses;
				to reduce the loss of fresh water resources by encouraging the recycling of
				stormwater; to enhance ground water recharge by promoting infiltration of
				stormwater in areas with appropriate soils and geology; to maintain the
				appropriate salinity regimes in estuaries needed to support the natural flora
				and fauna; and to address stormwater management on a watershed basis to provide
				cost effective water quality and water quantity solutions to specific watershed
				problems.
(b) Inadequate management
				of stormwater throughout a watershed increases stormwater flows and velocities,
				contributes to erosion and sedimentation, overtaxes the carrying capacity of
				streams and other conveyances, disrupts the functions of natural systems,
				undermines floodplain management and flood control efforts in downstream
				communities, reduces ground water recharge, threatens public health and safety,
				and is the primary source of pollutant loading entering Florida's rivers, lakes
				and estuaries, thus causing degradation of water quality and a loss of
				designated uses. Accordingly, it is a goal to eliminate the discharge of
				inadequately managed stormwater into waters and to minimize other adverse
				impacts on natural systems, property and public health, safety and welfare
				caused by improperly managed stormwater.
(c) It shall be a goal of stormwater
				management programs to reduce unacceptable pollutant loadings from older
				stormwater management systems, constructed before the adoption of Chapter
				62-25, F.A.C., (February 1, 1982), by developing and implementing watershed
				management and stormwater master plans, or District-wide or basin-specific
				rules, or by implementing basin management action plans.
Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-40 - WATER RESOURCE IMPLEMENTATION RULE › Section 62-40.432 - Surface Water Management Regulation

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) The following shall apply to the
				regulation of surface water pursuant to Part IV, Chapter 373, F.S.
(a) The construction and operation of
				facilities which manage or store surface waters, or other facilities which
				drain, divert, impound, discharge into, or otherwise impact waters in the
				state, and the improvements served by such facilities, shall not be harmful to
				water resources or inconsistent with the objectives of the Department or
				District.
(b) In determining the
				harm to water resources and consistency with the objectives of the Department
				or District, consideration shall be given to:
1. The impact of the facilities on:
a. Water quality,
b. Fish and wildlife,
c. Wetlands, floodplains, estuaries, and
				other water resources,
d.
				Reasonable-beneficial uses of water,
e. Recreation,
f. Navigation,
g. Saltwater or pollution intrusion,
				including any barrier line established pursuant to Section
				 373.033, F.S.,
h. Minimum flows and levels established
				pursuant to Sections  373.042 and
				 373.0421, F.S.; and,
i. Other factors relating to the public
				health, safety, and welfare.
2. Whether the facilities meet applicable
				design or performance standards,
3.
				Whether adequate provisions exist for the continued satisfactory operation and
				maintenance of the facilities; and,
4. The ability of the facilities and related
				improvements to avoid increased damage to off-site property, water resources,
				natural systems or the public caused by:
a.
				Floodplain development, encroachment or other alteration,
b. Retardance, acceleration or diversion of
				flowing water,
c. Reduction of
				natural water storage capacity,
d.
				Facility failure, or
e. Other
				actions adversely affecting off-site water flows or
				levels.
