(1) Persons servicing portable restrooms,
				  portable hand washing facilities and portable or stationary holding tanks shall
				  obtain an annual permit on Form DEP 4013 from the Department for the county in
				  which the service company has an office or storage yard. The service company
				  need not be permitted in neighboring counties in which the service company
				  operates but does not have an office or storage yard. Service persons shall
				  carry proof of possession of a current annual operating permit and vehicle
				  inspection for review by Department personnel in neighboring counties. Permits
				  issued under this rule authorize the disposal service to handle liquid waste
				  associated with portable restrooms, portable hand washing facilities, restroom
				  trailers, shower trailers and portable or stationary holding tanks containing
				  domestic wastewater produced in the State of Florida.
(2) Application for a service permit must be
				  made to the Department on Form DEP 4012, effective date 06-21-2022,

and is available as provided in subsection (8) below. Any change to the permit
				  conditions will require a permit amendment using Form DEP 4012. Adding storage
				  tanks to hold the liquid waste associated with portable restrooms, portable
				  hand washing facilities, restroom trailers, shower trailers and portable or
				  stationary holding tanks containing domestic wastewater may be located at sites
				  owned or leased by the service. The tanks must comply with the construction
				  standards found in paragraph
				   62-6.010(2)(a),
				  F.A.C. Where leased, a copy of the complete lease agreement must be provided as
				  part of the application. The lease must provide for the final disposition of
				  all tanks and designate the party to be held responsible for final disposition
				  of any tank on a leased facility. Whenever locations or tanks are modified,
				  added or removed, the applicant must amend their current service permit
				  application using Form DEP 4012 and provide all current information to the
				  department prior to any changes being made. All changes must be noted on an
				  amended permit, which will not alter the issue or expiration date of the
				  permit. All alterations must be inspected by the department at time of
				  installation, as well as after removal of any tank. The following must be
				  provided for the evaluation prior to issuance of a service permit:
(a) Evidence that the applicant possesses
				  adequate equipment such as a tank truck, pumps, as well as other appurtenances
				  and tools necessary to perform the work intended. Equipment may be placed into
				  service only after it has been inspected and approved by the Department. Tanks
				  used for the storage of portable or stationary holding tank waste and portable
				  restroom waste must be constructed, sized, and operated in accordance with the
				  provisions of subparagraphs
				   62-6.010(2)(a)
