Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Purpose.
(a) Article II, Section 7 of the Florida
				Constitution requires abatement of water pollution and conservation and
				protection of Florida's natural resources.
(b) The present and future most beneficial
				uses of all ground waters of the state have been designated by the Department
				by means of the classification system set forth in this chapter in accordance
				with Section  403.061(10),
				F.S. Water quality standards are established by the Department to protect these
				designated uses.
(c) Because
				activities outside the state sometimes cause pollution of Florida's waters, the
				Department will make every reasonable effort to have such pollution
				abated.
(d) Water quality standards
				apply equally to and shall be uniformly enforced in both the public and private
				sector.
(e) "Public interest" shall
				not be construed to mean only those activities conducted solely to provide
				facilities or benefits to the general public. Private activities conducted for
				private purposes may also be in the public interest.
(f) The Department shall use the best
				environmental information available when making decisions on the effects of
				chronically and acutely toxic substances and carcinogenic, mutagenic, and
				teratogenic substances. Additionally, the Department shall encourage innovative
				research and development in waste treatment alternatives that might better
				preserve environmental quality and reduces the energy and dollar costs of
				operation.
(g) The present and
				future most beneficial uses of ground waters of the state shall be protected to
				ensure the availability and utility of this invaluable resource. To achieve
				such protection, the ground waters of the state are classified and appropriate
				water quality criteria for those classes are set forth in this
				chapter.
(h) The criteria set forth
				in this chapter are minimum levels that are necessary to protect the designated
				use of ground waters. Permit applicants shall not be penalized because of a low
				detection limit associated with any specific criterion.

(1) All ground
				water shall at all places and at all times be free from domestic, industrial,
				agricultural, or other man-induced non-thermal components of discharges in
				concentrations which, alone or in combination with other substances, or
				components of discharges (whether thermal or non-thermal):
(a) Are harmful to plants, animals, or
				organisms that are native to the soil and responsible for treatment or
				stabilization of the discharge relied upon by Department permits, or
(b) Are carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic,
				or toxic to human beings, unless specific criteria are established for such
				components in Rule  62-520.420, F.A.C., or
(c) Are acutely toxic within surface waters
				affected by the ground water, or
(d) Pose a serious danger to the public
				health, safety, or welfare, or
(e)
				Create or constitute a nuisance, or
(f) Impair the reasonable and beneficial use
				of adjacent waters.

(1) In
				addition to the minimum criteria in Rule
				 62-520.400, F.A.C., the primary
				and secondary drinking water quality standards for public water systems
				established pursuant to the Florida Safe Drinking Water Act, which are listed
				in Rules  62-550.310 and
				 62-550.320, F.A.C., shall apply
				to Class G-I and Class G-II ground water. Exceptions are for existing
				installations not having to meet secondary standards as provided in Rule
				 62-520.520, F.A.C., and
				subsection (4), below; that the total coliform bacteria standard shall be 4 per
				100 milliliters; and that the primary drinking water standard for public
				drinking water systems for asbestos shall not apply as a ground water
				standard.
(2) If the concentration
				for any constituent listed in subsection (1), above, in the natural background
				quality of the ground water is greater than the stated maximum, or in the case
				of pH is also less than the minimum, the representative natural background
				quality shall be the prevailing standard for Class G-I and Class G-II ground
				water.
(3) Where natural background
				quality of the ground water cannot be determined in the upgradient well, and
				the concentration for any constituent listed in subsection (1), above, in the
				background quality of the ground water is greater than the stated maximum, or
				for pH is also less than the minimum, the representative background quality
				shall be the prevailing standard for those installations.
(4) These primary and secondary standards
				shall not apply within a zone of discharge as provided in Rule
				 62-520.465, F.A.C. The minimum
				criteria specified in Rule
				 62-520.400, F.A.C., shall apply

				extending to the owner's property line if no zone of discharge is defined in
				the permit, until such time as the permit is renewed or modified as provided in
				Rule  62-522.500, F.A.C.
(2) A zone of discharge for any installation
				that is not an existing installation shall be established in accordance with
				paragraph (a) or (b), below, and (c), if applicable, at the applicant's option,
				but the zone of discharge shall not extend beyond the property boundary:
(a) Any applicant seeking a zone of discharge
				and not electing to use the procedure below shall have a zone of discharge
				established by the Department. The boundary of the zone of discharge shall be
				100 feet from the site boundary or to the installation's property boundary,
				whichever is less, unless a smaller zone of discharge is necessary to protect
				the designated use of contiguous waters.
(b) The Department shall establish a zone of
				discharge larger than that provided in paragraph (a) above upon an affirmative
				demonstration by the applicant that:
1. The
				requested zone of discharge will not cause violations of applicable ground
				water standards in present and future potable water supplies; and,
2. The requested zone of discharge will not
				interfere with existing or designated uses of contiguous waters, or cause a
				violation of applicable surface water quality criteria of contiguous waters
				outside a permitted mixing zone; and,
3. The economic and social benefits of a zone
				of discharge of larger dimensions than those in paragraph (a), above, outweigh
				the economic, environmental, and social costs resulting from the larger zone of

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
Whether or not an installation is operating under a currently
				  valid Department permit, the Department has the authority to order the
				  installation owner to take corrective action under the following
				  circumstances:
(1) When the
				installation is discharging into the ground water in a manner that represents
				an imminent hazard to public health, the Department shall require the
				installation owner to take immediate action to remove or reduce the hazard in
				such a way as to prevent any threat to the public health and the environment.
				Such action includes clean up of the aquifer, halting the discharge, or
				confinement or containment of the water plume.
(2) When no imminent hazard exists, but the
				plume has extended beyond the zone of discharge or otherwise threatens or is
				likely to threaten in the foreseeable future to impair the designated use of an
				underground source of drinking water or surface water immediately affected by
				the ground water, the Department shall require the installation owner to take
				appropriate action to clean up, increase the degree of treatment prior to
				discharge, contain or otherwise correct the violation of water quality
				standards. The type of corrective action shall be based upon the following
				factors:
(a) Direction of the plume movement
				in relationship to existing and potential sources of drinking water;
(b) Plume size both in the areal and vertical
				dimensions;
(c) Rate of migration
				of the plume;
(d) Level of toxicity
				of the plume;
(e) Rate at which the
				plume is being diluted;
(f) The
				costs of clean up or other corrective action in comparison with the benefits to
				the public of such corrective action; and,
(g) Current and projected future use of
				adjacent ground and surface waters affected by the
				plume.
