Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-610 - REUSE OF RECLAIMED WATER AND LAND APPLICATION › Part II - SLOW-RATE LAND APPLICATION SYSTEMS; RESTRICTED PUBLIC ACCESS › Section 62-610.400 - Description of System

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Slow-rate
				  land application systems involve the application of reclaimed water to a
				  vegetated land surface with the applied reclaimed water being treated as it
				  flows through the plant-soil matrix. A portion of the flow percolates to the
				  ground water and some is used by the vegetation. Offsite surface runoff of the
				  applied reclaimed water is generally avoided. Surface application techniques
				  include ridge-and-furrow and border strip flooding. Spray irrigation systems
				  can use fixed risers or moving systems, such as center pivots. These systems
				  generally involve the reuse of reclaimed water that has received secondary
				  treatment and basic disinfection.
(2) Public access shall be restricted, except
				  as allowed by subsection
				   62-610.418(2),
				  F.A.C.
(3) Subsurface application
				  systems may be used. Systems shall be designed and operated to preclude
				  saturated conditions at the ground surface.
(4) Reclaimed water may be applied to
				  pastures and areas used to grow feed, fodder, fiber, or seed crops. Trees,
				  including managed hardwood or softwood plantations, may be
				  irrigated.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) For all
				  slow-rate systems involving irrigation of sod farms, forests, fodder crops,
				  pasture land, or similar areas where it is intended that public access shall be
				  restricted, preapplication waste treatment shall result in reclaimed water
				  meeting, at a minimum, secondary treatment and basic disinfection levels before
				  the land application.
(2) Systems
				  using subsurface application systems shall be subject to the following
				  additional limitation on TSS.
The reclaimed water shall contain not more than 10 mg/L of
					 TSS at all times, unless the application system has been designed to provide
					 specific flexibility and reliability in operation and maintenance of the
					 system. The Department shall approve alternatives to the specified TSS
					 limitation if the applicant provides reasonable assurances in the engineering
					 report that the alternative control measures will ensure non-clogging of the
					 system.

(1) Waste
				  treatment limitations shall be met after disinfection and before discharge to
				  system storage ponds or to reuse systems.
(2) Ground water monitoring.
(a) A ground water monitoring program shall
				  be established by the permittee and approved by the Department, pursuant to
				  Chapter 62-600, and Rule
				   62-520.600, F.A.C. (unless
				  otherwise exempted).
(b) The manual
				  referenced in paragraph
				   62-610.300(1)(b),
				  F.A.C., contains general technical guidance regarding the design and
				  construction of monitoring wells and ground water sampling procedures. Ground
				  water test wells resulting from hydrogeologic exploratory programs, background
				  water quality determinations or other requirements shall be approved by the
				  Department for use as part of the compliance monitoring well system if the
				  permittee provides reasonable assurances in the engineering report and ground
				  water monitoring plan that the well meets the requirements of Rule
				   62-520.600, F.A.C., and that the
				  well construction is such that migration of fluids from the surface to
				  subsurface formations or between subsurface formations will not
				  occur.
(c) Ground water sampling
				  parameters for monitoring background and receiving water quality will be
				  established by the Department based upon the quality of reclaimed water to be
				  discharged, site specific soil and hydrogeologic characteristics, and other
				  considerations, in accordance with Chapter 62-600, and Rule
				   62-520.600, F.A.C. Water levels
				  shall be recorded before evacuating wells for sample collection. Elevation
				  references shall include the top of the well casing and land surface at each
				  well site (NGVD allowable) at a precision of plus or minus 0.01
				  foot.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) System
				  storage ponds as described herein shall not be required where it is documented
				  in the engineering report that an alternative system (e.g., permitted surface
				  water discharge, deep wells) is incorporated into the system design to ensure
				  continuous facility operation in accordance with the requirements of Chapter
				  62-600, F.A.C. If system storage is not required, provision of flow
				  equalization or storage shall be evaluated in the engineering report to ensure
				  that reclaimed water flows will match the demand pattern during a diurnal
				  cycle.
(2) Unless exempted by
				  subsection  62-610.414(1),
				  F.A.C., system storage ponds shall have capacities determined as follows.
(a) System storage ponds shall have
				  sufficient storage capacity to assure the retention of the reclaimed water
				  under adverse weather conditions, harvesting conditions, maintenance of
				  irrigation equipment, or other conditions which preclude land
				  application.
(b) Storage capacity
				  or a limited wet weather discharge system shall be provided for wet weather
				  conditions which preclude land application and shall be described in the
				  engineering report and subject to Department approval. The system storage
				  period shall be established by determining the volume of storage that would be
				  required for a ten-year recurrence interval, using weather data that is
				  available from, or is representative of, the area involved.
(c) At a minimum, system storage capacity
				  shall be the volume equal to three times that portion of the average daily flow
				  of the reuse capacity for which no alternative reuse or disposal system is
				  permitted.
(d) Analytical means
				  (water balance calculations or computer hydrological programs such as the
				  Department's LANDAP program) of determining system storage requirements shall
				  be used and shall account for all water inputs into the system. Analysis shall
				  be based on site specific data.
(e)
				  The methods and assumptions used for determining the system storage
				  requirements shall be described and justified in the engineering
				  report.
(f) A minimum of 20 years
				  of climatic data shall be used in storage volume determinations.
(g) Irrigation efficiencies or rainfall
				  efficiencies shall not be used in storage volume
				  determinations.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) The
				  permittee shall maintain setback distances between the wetted site area subject
				  to land application and surface waters and potable water supply wells to ensure
				  compliance with water quality and drinking water standards, and to protect the
				  public health, safety and welfare. All systems shall be designed to minimize
				  adverse effects resulting from noise, odor, lighting and aerosol drift.
				  Adequate site area shall be provided for operation and maintenance, and for
				  controlling emergency discharges.
(2) Slow-rate land application systems shall
				  maintain a distance of 100 feet from the edge of the wetted area to buildings
				  that are not part of the treatment facility, utilities system, or municipal
				  operation; or to the site property line.
(a)
				  This distance shall be reduced to 50 feet if the setback is vegetated with
				  trees or shrubs to create a continuous visual barrier at least five feet high
				  to minimize aerosol drift. This distance shall be reduced to 25 feet if
				  high-level disinfection is provided in addition to the setback
				  vegetation.
(b) This distance shall
				  be reduced to 50 feet if only low trajectory, low pressure nozzles or surface
				  application techniques are used within the outermost 50 feet of the application
				  area. This distance shall be further reduced to 25 feet if high-level
				  disinfection is also provided.
(c)
				  If subsurface application systems are used, no setback distances to buildings
				  are required. If subsurface application systems are used, the setback distance
				  to the site property line shall be reduced to 30 feet. If subsurface
				  application systems are used and if high-level disinfection is provided, the
				  setback distance to the site property line shall be reduced to 10
				  feet.
(d) This onsite setback
				  distance shall be reduced to 50 feet if high-level disinfection is
				  provided.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Hydraulic
				  loading rates shall be established after considering the ability of the
				  soil-plant system to remove pollutants from the reclaimed water.
(2) Loading of nitrogen shall promote use by
				  vegetation and nitrification-denitrification reactions in the soil. If
				  supplemental fertilizers are used, the effect of such fertilizer use on nitrate
				  concentrations in the ground water shall be assessed in the engineering
				  report.
(3) Other factors which
				  shall be considered in establishing loading rates are the infiltration capacity
				  and hydraulic conductivity of the geologic materials underlying the site; the
				  resulting pollutant load shall be within the assimilative capacity of the
				  soil-plant system. The hydraulic loading rate shall not produce surface runoff
				  or ponding of the applied reclaimed water. Additionally, the quality and use of
				  underlying ground water may dictate the loading rates to be used.
(4) Since soil-plant relationships are
				  complex, the initial design loading rate shall be conservative; a maximum
				  annual average of two inches per week is recommended. The Department will
				  consider a rate higher than the two inches per week average provided the rate
				  is justified in the engineering report on the basis of the renovating and
				  hydraulic capacity of the soil-plant system, the existing quality and use of
				  surface or ground water in the area, and other hydrogeologic

				  coagulant, coagulant aids, or polyelectrolytes shall be provided. Such chemical
				  feed facilities may be idle if the TSS limitation is being achieved without
				  chemical addition. Filtration is an important component of a wastewater
				  treatment facility that provides reclaimed water for the types of activities
				  allowed by Part III of this chapter. 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.
(4) A
				  pretreatment program shall be prepared and implemented in accordance with Rule
