Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Access control for storage ponds shall be
				  as described in Rule  62-610.518, F.A.C.
(2) Chapter 62-620, F.A.C., requires public
				  notification and provides opportunities for a public meeting for projects
				  involving surface water discharges. Chapter 62-528, F.A.C., requires public
				  notification and provides opportunities for a public meeting for projects
				  involving underground injection. These public notification and public meeting
				  requirements contained in Chapters 62-528 and 62-620, F.A.C., shall apply to
				  injection and surface water discharge projects, respectively, regulated under
				  Part V of this chapter.
(3)
				  Permittees developing ground water recharge or indirect potable reuse projects
				  that will be regulated under Part V of this chapter shall implement public
				  education and public participation programs during the planning stages of the
				  reuse program. The public education and public participation programs shall be
				  described in detail in the engineering report.
(4) Applicants shall provide written notice
				  to affected public water supply utilities within the area to be affected by the
				  proposed project. For projects involving discharges to Class I waters, affected
				  utilities shall include public water supply utilities drawing source water from
				  the Class I water. For ASR projects and injection projects regulated by Rules
				   62-610.466,
				   62-610.560, or
				   62-610.562, F.A.C., affected
				  utilities shall include public water supply utilities withdrawing ground water
				  for public water supply within two miles of the proposed injection well, or
				  within the area of review established in accordance with Rule
				   62-528.300(4),
				  F.A.C., whichever is larger. For projects involving discharges to surface
				  waters that are directly connected to ground water, which serve as ground water
				  recharge, as described in subsection
				   62-610.555(4),
				  F.A.C., affected utilities shall include public water supply utilities
				  withdrawing ground water for public water supply within two miles of the point
				  of discharge and within two miles of the point or points where the surface
				  water enters the ground water. Written notice also shall be provided to the
				  appropriate county health department. These written notifications shall be
				  accomplished before the submittal of the initial permit application.
				  Documentation of this notification procedure shall be included in the
				  engineering report. These notices to affected utilities and to the county
				  health department are required for the following types of projects:
(a) Discharge to Class I surface waters, as
				  described in Rule  62-610.554, F.A.C.
(b) Discharge to waters contiguous to or
				  tributary to Class I surface waters, as described in subsection
				   62-610.555(1),
				  F.A.C.
(c) Injection projects used
				  for ground water recharge or salinity barrier control, as described in Rule
				   62-610.560 or
				   62-610.562, F.A.C.
(d) Discharges to surface waters that are
				  directly connected to ground water, which serve as ground water recharge, as
				  described in subsection
				   62-610.555(4),
				  F.A.C.
