Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-610 - REUSE OF RECLAIMED WATER AND LAND APPLICATION › Part VI - OVERLAND FLOW SYSTEMS › Section 62-610.625 - Design Influences

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Due to the
				  objective of overland flow systems, the design will provide for runoff of
				  applied effluents, and limited infiltration. Most suited to this type of system
				  are areas with soils of relatively low infiltration and vertical hydraulic
				  conductivity with an acquitard in the soil profile.
(2) A continuous acquitard (natural or
				  artificial) shall be present in the unconsolidated medium under the proposed
				  land application site such that effluent percolating through the soil system
				  above the acquitard is under operational control (for further treatment if
				  necessary). Operational control exists when the percolate flows to the surface
				  drainage system (as opposed to vertical leakage through the aquitard or lateral
				  movement beyond the influence of the drain system).
(a) The confining zone shall be present at
				  relatively shallow depths; shall have a representative hydraulic conductivity
				  no greater than 10% of the average hydraulic conductivity of the unconsolidated
				  medium overlying the acquitard; and shall be of such permeability and thickness
				  to provide reasonable assurance that downward percolation of waters will be
				  minimized.
(b) The permittee shall
				  establish the number of soil samples required to determine representative
				  hydraulic conductivity values and to affirmatively demonstrate that a natural
				  acquitard is continuous at a particular site. Samples shall be distributed
				  throughout the project site. An estimate of sample size required shall be
				  determined through statistical techniques which, based on the size and variance
				  of an initial number of partially-distributed samples, predict the minimum
				  number of samples required to assure that the population and sample means are
				  within a 95 percent confidence interval.
(c) Other methods (e.g., geophysical
				  techniques) to establish the extent and continuity of a natural acquitard shall
				  be approved by the Department upon justification by the
				  permittee.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) This type
				  of reuse system involves the use of reclaimed water from domestic wastewater
				  sources for cooling water, wash water, or process water at industrial
				  facilities.
(2) Use of treated
				  industrial wastewaters for land application, recycling within the industrial
				  facility, or other reuse or disposal methods is not governed by Chapter 62-610,
				  F.A.C. Reuse or disposal of industrial wastewaters is regulated by the
				  Department's industrial wastewater rules.
(3) The reclaimed water flowing out of the
				  industrial process shall be considered as an industrial wastewater and shall be
				  subject to regulation under Chapters 62-4, 62-302, 62-520, 62-521, 62-522,
				  62-620, 62-621, 62-650, 62-660, 62-670, 62-671, 62-672, and 62-673, F.A.C.,
				  except as provided in Rule
				   62-610.668, F.A.C.
(4) Food Processing. Reclaimed water shall
				  not be used in the manufacture or processing of food or beverage for human
				  consumption where the reclaimed water will be incorporated into or come in
				  contact with the food or beverage product.

				wetland is contiguous to other waters, the permit applicant shall provide
				reasonable assurance that Rule
				 62-611.450, F.A.C., and all
				other applicable water quality criteria in Chapter 62-302, F.A.C., will be met
				at the boundary between the man-made wetland and other waters, or the applicant
				shall obtain a permit for discharge of reclaimed water to wetlands for the
				discharge from the man-made wetland to other wetlands within the landward
				extent of waters of the state, in accordance with the criteria contained in
				this section.
(3) In reviewing a
				proposal to dredge and fill in a man-made wetland, the department shall apply
				the permitting criteria of Sections
				 373.414(1),
				F.S., to the downstream water only. In addition, the Department shall consider
				the adverse effects of the dredging and filling on the assimilation capacity of
				the man-made wetland. Minor dredging and filling which is associated with the
				construction of the discharge pipe(s) or spreader system, or which is necessary
				for the installation of platforms or gauges for monitoring shall be reviewed as
				part of the application to construct or operate a domestic wastewater treatment
				and disposal system. Any other dredging and filling shall require a dredge and
				fill permit which shall, when possible, be evaluated concurrently with the
				application to construct a domestic wastewater treatment and disposal
				system.
