Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-528 - UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL › Section 62-528.440 - General Permitting Requirements for Class I and III Wells

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Permitting Authority.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is the
				  administering agency for the underground injection control rule and requires
				  permits for all Class I and III wells. However, this does not absolve the
				  permittee from obtaining permits, where necessary, from other state agencies,
				  water management districts, or local programs nor relieve the permittee of the
				  responsibility for obtaining such permits.
(2) General Prohibitions.
(a) Any underground injection through a Class
				I or III well is prohibited, except as authorized by permit under this
				chapter.
(b) Permits for any
				construction, modification (including hydrogeological modifications to the
				monitoring system), operation (except for testing purposes as authorized by the
				construction permit), or abandonment of Class I and III wells shall be obtained
				before such activities are commenced.
(c) Except as provided in
				40 C.F.R.
				146.15 and
				146.16, as noticed in the
Federal Register
, Vol. 70, No. 224, November 22, 2005, pp.
				70513 - 70532, hereby adopted and incorporated by reference, no underground
				injection activity shall be authorized where a Class I or III well causes or
				allows movement of fluid into underground sources of drinking water, if such
				fluid movement may cause a violation of any primary drinking water standard
				under 40 C.F.R. pt. 141 (1994), or may otherwise adversely affect the health of
				persons. The applicant for a permit shall have the burden of showing that the
				requirements of this paragraph are met.
(d) Except as provided in
				40 C.F.R.
				146.15 and
				146.16, as noticed in the
Federal Register
, Vol. 70, No. 224, November 22, 2005, pp.
				70513 - 70532, for Class I and III wells, if any water quality monitoring of an
				underground source of drinking water indicates the movement of injection or
				formation fluids into underground sources of drinking water, the Department
				shall prescribe such additional requirements for construction, corrective
				action (including closure of the injection well), operation, monitoring, or
				reporting as are necessary to prevent such movement. These additional
				requirements shall be imposed by modifying the permit, or the permit shall be
				terminated if cause exists, or appropriate enforcement action shall be taken if
				the permit has been violated.
Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-528 - UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL › Section 62-528.450 - Class I - Test/Injection Well Construction and Testing Permit, and Class III - Well Construction Permit

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) General.
(a) The Department shall deny a construction
				permit if construction of the well itself may be a source of pollution as
				defined in Section  403.031, F.S.
(b) For a construction permit approval,
				reasonable assurance is required that the project will function in compliance
				with this chapter. The Department shall require an exploratory well for those
				projects located in an area where available information is lacking concerning
				geologic or hydraulic confinement or existing information indicates that
				geologic or hydraulic confinement may be poor or lacking.
(c) For a Class I well, issuance of a
				construction permit does not obligate the Department to authorize any operation
				of the well, unless reasonable assurance has been provided that the well can
				operate in compliance with this chapter.
(d) For a Class III well or well field, a
				single permit for construction, operation, plugging, and abandonment can be
				issued.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1)
				General Requirements.
(a) A separate
				underground injection control permit shall be obtained for each Class I
				injection facility. For multiwell injection systems, a separate underground
				injection control permit application need not be submitted for each well;
				however a separate application fee shall be assessed for each well in
				accordance with paragraph
				 62-4.050(4)(i),
				F.A.C.
(b) Under Section
				 403.091, F.S., the Department
				conducts periodic inspections during the period authorized by the operation
				permit.
(c) A report shall be
				submitted with each application for a Class I well operation permit. For
				multiwell injection systems, one report may be submitted which addresses each
				well of that system. The report shall include:
1. Results of the information obtained under
				the construction permit described in subsection
				 62-528.450(2),
				F.A.C.;
2. Record drawings, based
				upon inspections by the engineer of record or persons under his direct
				supervision, with all deviations noted;
3. Certification of completion submitted by
				the engineer of record;
4. An
				operation manual including emergency procedures;
5. Proposed monitoring program and data to be
				submitted;
6. Proof that the
				existence of the well and any associated monitoring wells has been recorded
				with the permanent warranty deed or other instrument of conveyance as a two
				page proviso or addendum that contains certification of the locations of the
				wells (by metes and bounds) and a detailed sketch of the parcel that shows the
				location of the well. The location shall be measured by a Florida certified
				land surveyor, and shall contain the surveyor's signature, registration number,
				official seal, and the following statement: "I hereby certify that this survey
				was made under my responsible direction and supervision, and is a correct
				representation of the land surveyed."
7. Copies of mill certificates for casing
				used in the well(s) construction. The owner shall retain the original
				records.
(d) No Class I
				injection well operation permit shall be issued until the emergency disposal
				method is fully operational and no emergency discharge shall occur until the
				permittee has received the required Department permits.
(e) The permittee shall provide direct
				distribution of the data reports, progress reports, and final reports to each
				member of the Technical Advisory Committee as described in subsection
				 62-528.100(2),
				F.A.C.

				associated with a Class I or III well, the applicant shall provide reasonable
				assurance that the well will be plugged and abandoned in accordance with Rule
				 62-528.435, F.A.C. The applicant
				shall submit the following:
(a) The
				justification for abandonment;
(b)
				A proposed plan for plugging and abandonment describing the preferred and
				alternate methods:

				(if any) to be used to fill the open hole portion of the well;
5. The method for placement of the
				plugs;
