Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-625 - PRETREATMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXISTING AND OTHER SOURCES OF POLLUTION › Section 62-625.700 - Fundamentally Different Factors Variance

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) In
				establishing categorical pretreatment standards for existing sources, the EPA
				takes into account all the information it can collect, develop and solicit
				regarding the factors relevant to pretreatment standards under Section 307(b)
				of the CWA. In some cases, information which may affect these pretreatment
				standards will not be available or, for other reasons, will not be considered
				during their development. As a result, it may be necessary on a case-by-case
				basis to adjust the limits in categorical pretreatment standards, making them
				either more or less stringent, as they apply to a certain industrial user
				within an industrial category or subcategory. This will only be done if data
				specific to that industrial user indicates it presents factors fundamentally
				different from those considered by EPA in developing the limit at issue. Any
				interested person or industrial user believing that factors relating to an
				industrial user are fundamentally different from the factors considered during
				development of a categorical pretreatment standard applicable to that
				industrial user and further, that the existence of those factors justifies a
				different discharge limit than specified in the applicable categorical
				pretreatment standard, may request a fundamentally different factors variance
				under this rule or such a variance request may be initiated by the
				EPA.
(2) Criteria.
(a) General criteria. A request for a
				variance based upon fundamentally different factors shall be approved only if:
1. There is an applicable categorical
				pretreatment standard which specifically controls the pollutant for which
				alternative limits have been requested,
2. Factors relating to the discharge
				controlled by the categorical pretreatment standards are fundamentally
				different from the factors considered by EPA in establishing the pretreatment
				standards; and,
3. The request for
				a variance is made in accordance with the procedural requirements in
				subsections (6) and (7), below.

(a) Either:
1. The applicable categorical pretreatment
				standards contained in 40 C.F.R. Chapter I, Subchapter N, Parts 405 through 471
				specifically provide that they shall be applied on a net basis; or
2. The industrial user demonstrates that the
				control system it proposes or uses to meet applicable categorical pretreatment
				standards would, if properly installed and operated, meet the standards in the
				absence of pollutants in the intake waters.

(a) Section
				 403.021(2),
				F.S., as amended, the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act, established
				that no wastes are to be discharged to any waters of the state without first
				being given the degree of treatment necessary to protect the beneficial uses of
				such water. Toward this end, Sections
				 403.085 and
				 403.086, F.S., set forth
				requirements for the treatment and disposal of domestic and industrial
				wastewater. Section  403.051(3)(a),
				F.S., mandates that any Department planning, design, construction, modification
				or operating standards, criteria, and requirements for wastewater facilities be
				developed as a rule or regulation. This rule is promulgated to implement the
				provisions and requirements of Sections 403.051, 403.085, 403.086, 403.087

				development of effluent limitations for wastewater facilities.
(b) Except as otherwise provided for by
				subsection 62-650.110(2), F.A.C., the Department shall not issue a permit for a
				discharge to waters of the state, unless the Department has established an
				effluent limit for those pollutants in the discharge that are present in
				quantities or concentrations which can be reasonably expected to cause or
				contribute, directly or indirectly, to a violation of any water quality
				standard established in Chapter 62-302, F.A.C. The effluent limit may be a
				technology based effluent limit (TBEL), a water quality based effluent limit
				(WQBEL) determined by the Level I process in accordance with Rule
				 62-650.400, F.A.C., or where
				applicable, a WQBEL determined by the Level II process in accordance with Rule
				 62-650.500,
				F.A.C.

				sections of this rule, the Department shall process permit applications and
				determine WQBELs in accordance with this section except when the Department has
				determined that a Level II WQBEL pursuant to Rule
				 62-650.500, F.A.C., is
				necessary. The WQBEL Level I Process shall be applied to the renewal of
				existing permits or issuance of new permits when data are sufficient to
				determine that the quality of the receiving body of water currently meets
				standards and is expected to continue to meet standards with the
				discharge.
(2) WQBELs shall be
				determined based on a review of water quality data applicable to the portion of
				the water body potentially impacted by the discharge. These data may include
				information contained in permit applications. In addition, existing data on
				ambient water quality obtained in the Department's files will be utilized. The
				water quality evaluation for setting WQBELs pursuant to this section will be
				summarized in a brief report explaining the conclusions of the evaluation and
				the basis for these conclusions. A copy of this report will be a part of the
				permit files.
