				  receiving ground water, whichever is less stringent. Design nitrate content of
				  the reclaimed water prior to reuse shall be established by the permittee
				  subject to Department approval. Additional treatment may be required as a
				  result of the pond location, subsurface drainage, and hydraulic loading rate
				  provisions contained below.
(2) For
				  absorption field systems, the reclaimed water shall contain not more than 10
				  mg/L TSS prior to discharge to the application/distribution system, unless the
				  absorption field and the application/distribution system have been designed to
				  provide specific flexibility and reliability in operation and maintenance of
				  the system. Alternatives to the specified TSS limitation shall be approved by
				  the Department if the applicant provides an affirmative demonstration that the
				  alternative control measure will ensure non-clogging of the system.
(3) Monitoring.
(a) Waste treatment limitations shall be met
				  after disinfection and before discharge to holding ponds or to reuse
				  systems.
(b) Requirements for
				  ground water monitoring shall be as contained in Rule

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Reclaimed
				  water may be used in compliance with this rule to create fresh water barriers
				  to impede landward or upward migration of salt water into Class F-I, G-I, or
				  G-II ground waters.
(2) If
				  rapid-rate land application systems are used to create such barriers, the
				  requirements in Part IV of this chapter shall apply. Rapid-rate land
				  application systems are not subject to regulation under Part V of this
				  chapter.
(3) Except as provided in
				  subsection  62-610.562(4),
				  F.A.C., if injection systems are used, the requirements of Rule
				   62-610.560, F.A.C., shall
				  apply.
(4) Salinity barrier systems
				  involving injection to Class G-II ground water containing 1000 to 3000 mg/L of
				  total dissolved solids. Treatment requirements specified in subsection
				   62-610.560(3),
				  F.A.C., shall apply to this case, if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) In the engineering report, the applicant
				  provides an affirmative demonstration that the receiving ground water within 1,
				  000 feet of the salinity barrier injection well is not currently used as a
				  source of public water supply and that the receiving ground water within this
				  area is not reasonably expected to be used for public water supply in the
				  future.
(b) In the engineering
				  report, the applicant provides an affirmative demonstration of the need to
				  control the landward or upward migration of salt water and the ability of the
				  proposed project to retard the landward or upward migration of salt
				  water.
(c) A setback distance of 1,
				  000 feet shall be maintained from the injection well to potable water supply
				  wells.
(d) The injection system
				  shall be designed and operated to preclude movement of the injected reclaimed
				  water to potable water supply wells with subsequent withdrawal of reclaimed
				  water at the potable water supply wells.
(e) The zone of discharge shall not extend
				  into zones having TDS concentrations less than 1000 mg/L (based on the initial
				  TDS characterization in the initial engineering report and information
				  submitted after the submittal of the initial engineering
				  report).

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Rule
				   62-610.563, F.A.C., defines two
				  levels of treatment and disinfection: "principal treatment and disinfection, "
				  and "full treatment and disinfection." These two levels of treatment and
				  disinfection, or specific components of these levels of treatment and
				  disinfection, shall be applied to ground water recharge and indirect potable
				  reuse projects as required by other rules within Part V of this
				  chapter.
(2) Principal treatment
				  and disinfection requirements.
(a)
				  Preapplication waste treatment shall result in a reclaimed water that meets, at
				  a minimum, secondary treatment and high-level disinfection. The reclaimed water
				  shall not contain more than 5.0 mg/L of total suspended solids before
				  application of the disinfectant.
(b) Filtration shall be provided for total
				  suspended solids control. Chemical feed facilities for coagulants, coagulant
				  aids, or polyelectrolytes shall be provided and maintained. Such chemical feed
				  facilities may be idle if the reclaimed water limitations are being achieved
				  without chemical addition. Filtration is an important component of the
				  wastewater treatment facility. By removing TSS before disinfection, filtration
				  serves to increase the ability of the disinfection process to inactivate virus
				  and other pathogens. Filtration also serves as the primary barrier for removal
				  of protozoan pathogens (Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and others). Addition of
				  chemical coagulants generally increases the effectiveness of pathogen
				  removal.
(c) Total nitrogen shall
				  be limited to 10 mg/L as nitrogen as a maximum annual average limitation.
				  Monthly average and single sample permit limitations shall be established using
				  the multipliers in subparagraph
				   62-600.740(1)(b) 
				  2., F.A.C. For surface water discharges, WQBELs established under Chapter
				  62-650, F.A.C., may place additional limitations on nitrogen or other
				  parameters.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Pilot
				  testing is required for all projects that are required to provide full
				  treatment and disinfection, as described in subsection
				   62-610.563(3),
				  F.A.C.
(2) The pilot testing
				  program shall be designed to demonstrate the ability of the selected treatment
				  processes to meet the requirements of Part V of this chapter and to generate a
				  supply of reclaimed water that can be used to evaluate the suitability of the
				  reclaimed water for ground water recharge or indirect potable reuse. Pilot
				  testing shall be done using wastewater/reclaimed water.
(3) The pilot testing program shall
				  accumulate 12 months of data.
(4)
				  The pilot testing program shall include the following:
(a) An affirmative demonstration that the
				  treatment and disinfection processes proposed for inclusion in the wastewater
				  treatment facility are capable of meeting the full treatment and disinfection
				  requirements contained in subsection
				   62-610.563(3),
				  F.A.C., and that the reclaimed water will be of sufficient quality to protect
				  public health and environmental quality.
(b) An evaluation of Enterovirus,
				  Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and helminths in order to demonstrate that the
				  wastewater treatment facilities are capable of producing a reclaimed water that
				  is pathogen free (concentrations of pathogens are less than
				  detection).
(c) Results of a
				  biological testing procedure approved by the Department to determine the
				  mutagenicity of the reclaimed water.
(d) Reclaimed water quality shall be compared
				  to other sources of drinking water currently used in the area. The reclaimed
				  water shall be of a quality that is the same or better than other sources of
				  drinking water currently used in the area.
