The Environmental Assessment and Management (TEAM) Guide

Florida Supplement Revised June 2000 Environmental assessments help determine compliance with current environmental regulations. The U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and Corps of Engi-neers (Civil Works) have adopted environmental compliance programs that identify compliance problems before they are cited as violations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Since 1984, the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Re-search Laboratory, in cooperation with numerous Department of Defense (DOD) components, has developed environmental compliance assessment checklist manuals. The Environ-mental Assessment and Management (TEAM) Guide was developed for use by all DOD components. Currently there are five participating DOD components: the Air Force, Air National Guard, Army, Civil Works, and DLA. These agencies have agreed to share the development and maintenance of this Guide.

The Guide combines Code of Federal Regulations and management practices into a series of checklists that show legal requirements and the specific operations or items to review. TEAM Guide is supplemented by DOD component- specific manuals detailing DOD component regulations and policies. The Florida Supplement was developed to be used in conjunction with the TEAM Guide, using existing Florida state environmental legislation and regulations as well as suggested management practices.

1-1 Air Emissions Management

SECTION 1

AIR EMISSIONS MANAGEMENT

Florida Supplement, June 2000

This section covers the state requirements for Air Emissions Management and is intended to supplement the U.S. TEAM Guide. Refer to the U.S. TEAM Guide and the DOD Component Supplements for Federal, DOD, and service-specific requirements.

Definitions

• Acid Mist - liquid drops of any size of any acid including but not limited to sulfuric acid and sulfur trioxide, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid as measured by test methods approved by the Department (Florida Administrative Code, Title 62, Chapter 296, Section 200 (FAC 62-296.200)).

• Actual Emissions - the actual rate of emission of a pollutant from an emissions unit as determined in accordance

with the following provisions: 1. In general, actual emissions as of a particular date shall equal the average rate, in tons per year, at which

the emissions unit actually emitted the pollutant during a 2-yr period which precedes the particular date and which is representative of the normal operation of the emissions unit. The Department may allow the use of a different time period upon a determination that it is more representative of the normal operation of the emissions unit. Actual emissions shall be calculated using the emissions unit's actual operating hours, production rates, and types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the selected time period.

2. The Department may presume that unit-specific allowable emissions for an emissions unit are equivalent to the actual emissions of the emissions unit provided that, for any regulated air pollutant, such unit-specific allowable emissions limits are Federally enforceable.

3. For any emissions unit (other than an electric utility steam generating unit specified in subparagraph (4) of this definition) which has not begun normal operations on a particular date, actual emissions shall equal the potential emissions of the emissions unit on that date.

4. For an electric utility steam generating unit (other than a new unit or the replacement of an existing unit) actual emissions of the unit following a physical or operational change shall equal the representative actual annual emissions of the unit following the physical or operational change, provided the owner or operator maintains and submits to the Department on an annual basis for a period of 5 yr from the date the unit resumes regular operation, information demonstrating that the physical or operational change did not result in an emissions increase. A longer period, not to exceed 10 yr, may be required by the Department if it determines such a period to be more representative of the normal postchange operations of the unit. The definition of "representative actual annual emissions" found in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(33) is hereby incorporated by reference (FAC 62-296.200).

• Affected Pollutant - in a nonattainment area or area of influence the pollutant for which the area is designated

nonattainment is the affected pollutant except in the case of ozone nonattainment areas where the affected pollutant is volatile organic compounds (VOC) (FAC 62-296.200).

• Air Curtain Incinerator -

1. A portable or stationary combustion device that directs a plane of high velocity forced draft air through a manifold head into a pit with vertical walls in such a manner as to maintain a curtain of air over the surface of the pit and a recirculating motion of air under the curtain. An air curtain incinerator is controlled burning as defined in FAC 62-701.300(3) (FAC 62-256.200).


2. A portable or stationary combustion device that directs a plane of high velocity forced draft air through a manifold head into a pit with vertical walls in such a manner as to maintain a curtain of air over the surface of the pit and a recirculating motion of air under the curtain (FAC 62-296.200).

• Air-Dried Coating - coatings that are dried by the use of air or forced warm air at temperatures up to 194 F (90

C) (FAC 62-296.200). • Air Pollutant - Any substance (particulate, liquid, gaseous, organic or inorganic) which if released, allowed to

escape, or emitted, whether intentionally or unintentionally, into the outdoor atmosphere may result in or contribute to air pollution.

• Air Pollution -

1. The presence in the outdoor atmosphere of the state of any one or more substances or contaminants in quantities that are or may be potentially harmful or injurious to human health or welfare, animal or plant life, or property, or unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment of life or property, including outdoor recreation (FAC 62-256.200).

2. The presence in the outdoor atmosphere of the state of any one or more substances or pollutants in quantities that are or may be harmful or injurious to human health or welfare, animal or plant life, or property, or unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment of life or property, including outdoor recreation (FAC 62-296.200).

• Air Pollution Control Equipment -

1. Any equipment or feature installed by the manufacturer or replaced with a device or system equivalent in design and function to the part that was originally installed on the motor vehicle, which constitutes an operational element of the air pollution control system or mechanism of a motor vehicle (FAC 62-242.300).

2. Equipment, including that used to separate entrained particulate matter or organic vapors from gases, gas separation equipment, thermal oxidation equipment, and chemical reaction/conversion equipment, which is designed and used to reduce the discharge of a specific air pollutant to the atmosphere:

a. Destructive Control Device any device intended and designed for the reduction of VOC pollutant emissions from an emissions unit that alters the chemical composition of the pollutant flowing through the device.

b. Nondestructive Control Device any device intended and designed for the reduction of VOC pollutant emissions from an emissions unit that does not alter the chemical composition of the pollutant flowing through the device (FAC 62-296.200).

• Air Pollution Episode - any occurrence of elevated levels of pollutants in the atmosphere that require hasty and

unusual abatement action (FAC 62-256.200). • Air Quality Control Region - any air quality control region designated pursuant to Section 107 of the Clean Air

Act. The boundaries of the air quality control regions in Florida are set forth in 40 CFR Sections 81.49, 81.68, 81.91, 81.95, 81.96 and 81.97. A copy of the above referenced documents is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, and may be inspected at the Department's Tallahassee office (FAC 62-296.200).

• Allowable Emissions - the emission rate calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the emissions unit, as

limited or modified by any state or Federally enforceable restrictions on the operating rate or hours of operation, or both, and the most stringent state or Federal emission limiting standard applicable to the emissions unit; or the maximum allowable emission rate specified by any state or Federally enforceable permit conditions (FAC 62-296.200).


• Alternative Control Techniques Document or ACT - a guidance document issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. s. 7511b), which identifies control alternatives for sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NO(x)) that emit more than 25 tons/yr (FAC 62-296.200).

• Ambient Air Quality Standard or Ambient Standard - a restriction established to limit the quantity or

concentration of an air pollutant that may be allowed to exist in the ambient air for any specific period of time. 1. National Ambient Air Quality Standard means an ambient standard established by EPA as listed in 40

CFR 50. 2. Primary Standard means an ambient standard established to protect public health. 3. Secondary Standard means an ambient standard established to protect the public welfare including the

protection of animal and plant life, property, visibility and atmospheric clarity, and the enjoyment of life and property.

4. State Ambient Air Quality Standard means an ambient standard established or adopted by the Department (FAC 62-296.200).

• Ancillary Equipment - the equipment used with a dry cleaning machine in a dry cleaning system, including

• Batch Process - a process that takes in the basic raw materials at the beginning of a cycle and processes them in accordance with a predetermined scheme during which no more basic raw materials are added to the process. Two variations include:

1. Processes in which some of the reactants (materials) are added at the beginning with the remainder added as the reaction progresses.

2. Processes in which once the materials are added, one or more products are continuously removed as the reaction progresses. Such processes include, but are not limited to, production of super phosphate, basic oxygen furnaces, and cement batch plants (FAC 62- 296.200).

• Best Available Control Technology or BACT - an emission limitation, including a visible emissions standard,

based on the maximum degree of reduction of each pollutant emitted which the Department, on a case by case basis, taking into account energy, environmental and economic impacts, and other costs, determines is achievable through application of production processes and available methods, systems and techniques (including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques) for control of each such pollutant:

1. If the Department determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of measurement methodology to a particular part of an emissions unit or facility would make the imposition of an emission standard infeasible, a design, equipment, work practice, operational standard or combination thereof, may be prescribed instead to satisfy the requirement for the application of BACT. Such standard shall, to the degree possible, set forth the emissions reductions achievable by implementation of such design, equipment, work practice or operation.

Florida Supplement, June 2000 This section covers the state requirements for Pesticide Management and is intended to supplement the U.S. TEAM Guide. Refer to the U.S. TEAM Guide and the DOD Component Supplements for Federal, DOD, and service-specific requirements.

Definitions

• Application Equipment - any purgeable equipment used for the application of methyl bromide as a soil fumigant (FAC 5E-2.036).

• Application of Fumigant - release of fumigant into structure or enclosed space (FAC 5E-14.102). • Application Site - the specific field being treated with methyl bromide (FAC 5E-2.036). • Available Water Capacity - the ability of the soil to hold water available for use by most plants and commonly

expressed as inches of water per inch of soil (FAC 5E-2.038). • Bedrock - the solid rock that underlies the soil and other consolidated material or that is exposed at the surface

(FAC 5E-2.038). • Designated Agent - a commercial applicator retained for the purpose of applying methyl bromide. The term

may also apply to a grower or grower's employee who is a certified applicator (FAC 5E-2.036). • Drainage Class - refers to the frequency and duration of periods of saturation or partial saturation during soil

formation (FAC 5E-2.038). • Fumigation Operation - all the details prior to the application of a fumigant, the application of a fumigant, the

fumigation period, and the post fumigation details (FAC 5E-14.102). • Fumigation Period - period of time from the application of the fumigant until the ventilation of the structure is

completed and the structure is declared safe for occupancy (FAC 5E-14.102). • General Fumigation - application of fumigants to one or more rooms or their contents in a structure, or the

entire structure; or to commodities under gas-tight sheets or tarpaulins (FAC 5E-14.102). • Horizon - a layer of soil, approximately parallel to the surface, having distinct characteristics produced by soil

forming processes (FAC 5E-2.038). • Multi-Unit Structure - a structure consisting of one or more stories or functionally distinct units, in which units

share a common wall of wood or metal studs or single masonry, including fire walls (FAC 5E-14.102). • Operator - any person on the application equipment during methyl bromide application (FAC 5E-2.036). • Permeability - the quality of the soil that enables water to move through the soil and is measured as the number

Florida Supplement, June 2000 This section covers the state requirements for POL Management and is intended to supplement the U.S. TEAM Guide. Refer to the U.S. TEAM Guide and the DOD Component Supplements for Federal, DOD, and service-specific requirements.

Definitions

The definitions in FAC 62-701 are adopted (see the Solid Waste Management chapter). • Contamination or Contaminated - the presence of petroleum or petroleum products or their chemical

constituents in surface water, groundwater, soil, sediment, or upon the land, in quantities or concentrations that may result in exceedances of the applicable cleanup target levels specified in Chapter 62-777, FAC, or water quality standards in Chapters 62-3, 62-302, 62-520 or 62-550, FAC, or in quantities or concentrations that may result in contaminated sediment (FAC 62-770.200) [Revised June 2000].

• Excessively Contaminated Soil - for the purposes of Section 376.3071(11)(b)2., F.S. (unless laboratory results

verify that the organic vapor analysis data are not relevant), soil saturated with petroleum or petroleum products or soil that causes a total corrected hydrocarbon measurement of 500 parts per million (ppm) or higher for Gasoline Analytical Group or 50 ppm or higher for Kerosene Analytical Group. Readings shall be obtained at the site on an organic vapor analysis instrument with a flame ionization detector in the survey mode upon sampling the headspace in half-filled, 16-ounce jars. Each soil sample shall be split into two jars, the two samples shall be brought to a temperature of between 20°C (68°F) and 32°C (90°F) and the readings shall be obtained five minutes thereafter. One of the readings shall be obtained with the use of an activated charcoal filter unless the unfiltered reading is non-detect. The total corrected hydrocarbon measurement shall be determined by subtracting the filtered reading from the unfiltered reading. Instruments with a photo ionization detector may be used after a determination is made of that instrument's equivalent response to an instrument with a flame ionization detector. Photo ionization detectors shall not be used in situations where humidity will interfere with the instruments' sensitivity (including periods of rain, measuring wet or moist soil). Analytical instruments shall be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (FAC 62-770.200).

• Free Product - petroleum or petroleum product in excess of 0.01 ft in thickness, measured at its thickest point,

floating on surface water or groundwater (FAC 62-770.200). • Gasoline Analytical Group - aviation gasoline, gasohol, and motor gasoline or equivalent petroleum products

(FAC 62-770.200). • Groundwater - water beneath the surface of the ground within a zone of saturation whether or not flowing

through known or definite channels (FAC 62-770.200). • Kerosene Analytical Group - diesel, Jet-A, JP-5, and kerosene or equivalent petroleum products (FAC 62-

770.200). • Petroleum Contact Water or PCW - water containing product. Examples of materials that meet the definition of

PCW include the following: 1. Condensate from underground and aboveground petroleum tanks.


2. Water bottoms or drawdown water removed from a petroleum storage tank system as defined in FAC 62-761 and 62-762.

3. Product, or water in contact with product, that displays a visible sheen contained in spill containment and secondary containment areas associated with petroleum tank storage, petroleum transportation, and petroleum distribution systems; however, stormwater that displays a visible sheen contained in spill containment and secondary containment areas associated with a diesel or No. 2 fuel storage tank, transportation, or distribution system is not PCW.

4. Petroleum tank filler sump and dispenser sump water. 5. Recovered product or water in contact with product, which does not contain hazardous constituents

other than petroleum, from first response actions to petroleum spills or from petroleum contamination site cleanups conducted under FAC 62-770.

6. Aboveground petroleum tank seal leakage water. 7. Pumpable liquids from petroleum tank cleaning operations.

Examples of materials that do not meet the definition of PCW include the following:

1. Equipment or vehicle wash water. 2. Bilge water. 3. Separated solids from tank cleaning operations. 4. Groundwater contaminated with hazardous constituents other than PCW. 5. Wastewaters regulated or permitted under other applicable Department rules or standards, such as

FAC 62-620 and FAC 62-660 (FAC 62-740.030). • Petroleum Refinery - a location with a primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code facility

Site Assessment Objectives (FAC 62-770.600(2)) [Revised July 1998; Revised June 2000]

The objectives of site assessments are the following, as applicable: 1. to determine or confirm the source(s) of contamination to the extent practicable and to estimate the volume of

petroleum or petroleum products that were released. That confirmation may include a determination of the structural integrity, in accordance with the testing procedures specified in Chapters 62-761 or 62-762, FAC, of any petroleum storage tank system that exists at the site and is likely to be the source of the contamination

2. to establish the horizontal extent and thickness of free product (if the soil concentration of a petroleum products'

contaminant of concern is above its soil saturation concentration (Csat), free product may be present) 3. to determine whether contamination is present, and to determine the horizontal and vertical extent of

contamination in every medium found to be contaminated 4. to estimate the total mass and mass distribution of petroleum or petroleum products in the subsurface as product

entrapped above the water table, free product, and product entrapped below the water table 5. to determine whether source removal in accordance with Rule 62-770.300, FAC, is warranted 6. to identify the aquifer or aquifers expected to be affected by the site and their groundwater classification, unless

the site meets the No Further Action criteria in Rule 62-770.680(1), FAC 7. to identify and characterize any perched zone, if present, unless the site meets the No Further Action criteria in

Rule 62-770.680(1), FAC 8. to describe relevant geologic and hydrogeologic characteristics of affected and potentially affected

hydrogeologic zones, unless the site meets the No Further Action criteria in Rule 62-770.680(1), FAC 9. to describe geologic and hydrogeologic characteristics of the site that influence migration and transport of

petroleum products' contaminants of concern, unless the site meets the No Further Action criteria in Rule 62-770.680(1), FAC

10. to determine the rate and direction of groundwater flow (at all affected depths, as appropriate), to determine the

extent of water table fluctuation, to evaluate the potential effect of seasonal variations on the rate and direction of groundwater flow, and to determine whether there are any tidal effects in sites located near surface water, unless the site meets the No Further Action criteria in Rule 62-770.680(1), FAC

11. to determine other mechanisms of transport of petroleum products' contaminants of concern in the immediate

vicinity of the site, including rate and direction of movement of petroleum products' contaminants of concern in sewer lines, subsurface utility conduits or vaults, soil and surface water, as applicable, unless the site meets the No Further Action criteria in Rule 62-770.680(1), FAC

12. to determine by means of a well survey whether any municipal or public water supply wells are present within a

1/2 mi radius of the site, whether the site is located within the regulated wellhead protection zone of a municipal wellfield or public water supply well, and whether any private water supply wells (including potable, irrigation and industrial) are present within a 1/4 mi radius of the site, unless the site meets the No Further Action criteria in Rule 62-770.680(1), FAC


13. to determine whether any surface water will be exposed to contamination originating from the site 14. if non-petroleum products' contaminants of concern are detected during the assessment, to identify the general

location of the source in relation to the site and to evaluate whether the non-petroleum products' contaminants of concern may have an effect on future rehabilitation activities of the petroleum contamination

15. to report any off site activities (for example, dewatering, active remediation, or flood control pumping) in the

immediate vicinity of the site that may have an effect on the groundwater flow at the site, unless the site meets the No Further Action criteria in Rule 62-770.680(1), FAC

16. to evaluate the degree to which human health, safety, or welfare may be affected by exposure to the

contamination 17. to evaluate the effect of the contamination on the environment 18. to facilitate the selection of the most cost-effective remediation strategy for the site that is protective of human

health and the environment, unless No Further Action is deemed appropriate under the provisions of Rule 62-770.680, FAC

Appendix 9-5

Classification of Compost (Source: FAC 62-709.550)

Compost is classified based on the type of waste processed, product maturity, the amount of foreign matter in the product, the particle size and organic matter content of the product, and the concentration of heavy metals as specified in the following sections. The following characteristics are used:

1. Type of waste processed:

a. yard trash only

b. manure or yard trash with manure

c. solid waste, other than only yard trash or manure.

2. Product maturity:

a. mature

b. semimature

c. fresh.

3. Foreign matter content:

a. 2 percent dry weight

b. less than 2 percent dry weight

c. greater than 2 percent, but less than 4 percent

d. greater than 4 percent, but less than 10 percent

4. Particle size, using the screen size that the compost passed through. Organic matter content is associated with particle size:

a. fine: less than 10 mm, and an organic matter content of greater than 25 percent

b. medium: less than 15 mm, and an organic content of greater than 30 percent

c. coarse: less than 25 mm, and an organic content of greater than 35 percent.

5. Concentration for heavy metals expressed in milligrams per kilogram dry weight. If any one parameter falls in a higher concentration grouping, the code for the higher grouping will apply.

6. Compost is classified as follows.

a. Type Y is compost made only from yard trash, which is mature or semi-mature, and is fine, medium or coarse. For such compost, a foreign matter content of less than 2 percent and a metal concentration equivalent to code 1 is assumed.

b. Type YM is compost made from only manure or yard trash with manure which is mature or semimature and is fine, medium, or coarse. For such compost, a foreign matter content of less than 2 percent and a metal concentration equivalent to code 1 is assumed.

c. Type A is compost made from solid waste, other than only yard trash and manure, which is mature and is fine. The foreign matter content shall be less than or equal to 2 percent and the metal concentration shall fall under code 1. Further, it shall contain no foreign matter, such as glass or metal shards, of a size and shape that can cause injury.

d. Type B is compost made from solid waste, other than only yard trash or manure, which is mature or semimature and is fine or medium.

It will not reheat upon standing to greater than 20 οC above ambient temperature. It has beneficial use and can be used in direct contact with roots. The material should be brown to black in color. This level of maturity is indicated by a reduction of organic matter of greater than 60 percent.

b. Semimature compost is compost material that is at the mesophilic stage. It will reheat upon standing to greater than 20 οC above ambient temperature. It has beneficial use, although direct contact with roots should be avoided. The material should be a light to dark brown in color. This level of maturity is indicated by a reduction of organic matter of greater than 40 percent but less than or equal to 60 percent.

c. Fresh compost is compost material that has been through the thermophilic stage and has undergone partial decomposition. The material will reheat upon standing to greater than 20 οC above ambient temperature. It has beneficial use, but proper care is needed as further decomposition and

9-123


stabilization will occur. The material should be similar in texture and color to the feed stock into the composting process. This level of maturity is indicated by a reduction of organic matter of greater than 20 percent but less than or equal to 40 percent.

Those requirements have been merged with the requirements for underground storage tanks at FAC 62-761. In the process, all of the requirements for underground storage tanks have been thoroughly revised. As a result, all of the checklist items in sections ST.5.FL., ST.30.FL. through ST.95.FL., and ST.155.FL. are new as of May 1999, and all of the checklist items that were previously in those sections have been deleted without further notice.

e. "Inconclusive" means that the minimum detectable leak rate exceeds the certified performance standard (0.2 gph) and the calculated leak rate is less than the leak threshold. If for any other reason the test result is not a "Pass" or "fail," the result is "inconclusive";

f. An Incident Notification Form shall be submitted to the County when a monthly SIR report of "Fail" is received;

g. An Incident Notification Form shall be submitted to the County after the receipt of two consecutive monthly SIR reports of "Inconclusive." An investigation shall be performed in accordance with the Incident Response requirements specified in Rule 62-761.820, FAC However, if at the end of the fourteen day investigation period provided in Rule 62-761.820(1), FAC, the SIR data from the previous month is still inconclusive, a tightness test of the system shall be performed;

h. A data set shall consist of at least one month of valid data gathered over a time period not exceeding 35 days. A minimum of 20 data points over this 35 day period shall be used to calculate the leak rate unless the vendor of the SIR system approved under Rule 62-761.850(2), FAC, has provided a third party determination that a lesser number of data points is capable of detecting a release of 0.2 gph or 150 gallons within 30 days with a probability of detection of 0.95 and a probability of false alarm of 0.05; and

Tightness testing shall account for the effects of thermal expansion or contraction of the regulated substance, vapor pockets, tank deformation, evaporation or condensation, and the location of the water table.

b. If any volumetric tank tightness test is conducted at a level lower than the overfill protection device set point, a non-volumetric test shall also be used to test the ullage portion of the tank. When volumetric tests are conducted, there must be a minimum pressure differential of plus or minus one psig (pounds per square inch gauge), measured at the bottom of the tank, between the product hydrostatic pressure inside the tank and the hydrostatic pressure due to the external water table. When using this method, positive field verification of the depth of the water table must be performed, and the minimum liquid level of product in the tank shall be at least 30 percent of tank capacity, provided that the third party evaluation for the test method verifies detection capability at this level. If the water table depth cannot be verified, the minimum liquid level for volumetric tank testing shall be 65 percent of tank capacity.

c. Tank and line tightness testing shall be performed in accordance with Chapter 4 of NFPA 329. d. Overfill protection and spill containment devices shall be inspected before a tightness test is

performed to ensure that these devices do not interfere with the test, and after the test to ensure that the devices are operating properly.


(d) Small diameter integral piping in contact with the soil. 1. Line leak detectors for USTs. Line leak detectors shall:

a. Be capable of detecting a discharge of 3.0 gph with a probability of detection of 0.95 and a probability of false alarm of 0.05 at a line pressure of 10 psi within one hour,

b. Have an annual test of the operation of the leak detector conducted in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements by an individual certified or trained by the manufacturer to determine whether the device is functioning as designed. Remote testing of the leak detector can be performed by the manufacturer if the remote test is approved under Rule 62-761.850(2), FAC;

c. Restrict flow within one hour if designed with mechanical flow restriction; d. When a discharge of 3.0 gph is detected, shut off power to the pump if designed with automatic

electronic shutoff. When in test mode, line leak detectors with automatic electronic shutoff shall also be able to detect a discharge of 0.2 gph at a line pressure of 150 percent of operating pressure, or an equivalent leak rate, with a probability of detection within a one month period of at least 0.95 and a probability of false alarm of no more than 0.05. When a discharge of 0.2 gph is detected, the leak detector shall provide audible or visual alarms that can be clearly heard or seen by the operator of the facility, or if monitored remotely on a real time basis, the alarm condition must be immediately transmitted from the remote location to the facility operator, and

e. Instead of using a line leak detector as a method of release detection for pressurized small diameter piping associated with double-walled integral piping, a continuously operating interstitial monitoring device can be used. Continuously operating interstitial monitoring devices shall be capable of detecting a release of 10 gallons within one hour and shutting off the pump.

2. Tightness testing. Tightness testing for pressurized piping in contact with the soil shall be capable of detecting a 0.1 gallon per hour leak rate at one and one-half times the operating pressure with a probability of detection of 0.95 and a probability of false alarm of 0.05.

(e) Bulk product piping. 1. An annual test shall be performed of single-walled bulk product piping in contact with the soil. Prior

to testing the piping system, a leak tightness evaluation of all exposed components shall be performed through visual inspection, or by another method approved by the Department in accordance with Rule 62-761.850, FAC The evaluation shall be verified and recorded. One of the following methods shall be used for the annual test.

a. A bulk product piping test method approved in accordance with Rule 62-761.850(2), FAC; b. An API RP 1110 hydrostatic test; or c. An ASME B3 1.4 hydrostatic test

2. Double-walled bulk product and hydrant piping, and other bulk product piping equipped with secondary containment shall have methods of release detection and testing for a breach of integrity that meet the requirements of Rule 62-761.6.40(3)(a)2. or 4., FAC, as applicable.

Records of all test results shall be maintained in accordance with the Appendix-Test Records of API RP 1110, or Chapter VI of ASME B31.4, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 62-761.710(1), FAC

6. Any phased or long term build out project, including a development of regional impact, planned unit development, development with a master plan or master site plan, or similar project, which has received local or regional approval prior to 1 October 1984, if:

a. The approval process requires a specific site plan and provides for a master drainage plan approved prior to the issuance of a building permit, and

b. The developer has notified the District of its intention to rely upon this exemption on or before 1 April 1985.

Projects exempt under this subsection shall continue to be subject to the District's surface water management rules in effect prior to 1 October 1984.


7. All normal and necessary farming and forestry operations as are customary for the area, which can be

conducted without the construction or alteration of a surface water management system. In order to qualify for this exemption, such operations and facilities shall not impede or divert the flow of surface waters entering or leaving the operation or intrude into or otherwise substantially and adversely impact significant wetlands.

8. Phosphate mining and mining related surface water management systems are exempt from the requirements of this chapter, provided that all conditions for exemption in Rule 40D-4.053(1) are met. However, nothing in this section is intended to exempt phosphate mining from the Department of Environmental Protection's authority.

9. Phosphate mine reclamation and restoration conducted in accordance with Chapter 16C-16, the Mine Reclamation rules of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, is exempt from the requirements of this chapter provided that all conditions for exemption in Rule 40D-4.053(2) are met.

10. Construction or private use of a single family dwelling unit, duplex, triplex or quadruplex that is not part of a larger common plan of development or sale and does not involve wetlands or other surface waters.

11. Routine maintenance of a surface water management system; however, maintenance of surface water management systems will be considered in conjunction with the applications for construction, alteration, or operation.

12. In accordance with the provisions of Section 403.813(2), F.S., no permit shall be required under Chapters 40D-4, 40D-40 or 40D-400, Florida Administrative Code for the following activities:

a. The repair or replacement of existing functional pipes or culverts the purpose of which is the discharge or conveyance of stormwater. In all cases, the invert elevation, the diameter, and the length of the culvert shall not be changed. However, the material used for the culvert may be different from the original material. This exemption does not authorize the repair, replacement, or alteration of dams, spillways or appurtenant works, nor construction activities or procedures that cause a violation of water quality standards as set forth in Chapter 62-302 and Rule 62-4.242, FAC

b. The installation, replacement or repair of mooring pilings and dolphins associated with private docking facilities.

c. The installation of private docks of 1000 square feet or less of surface area over wetlands or other surface waters or 500 square feet or less of surface area over wetlands or other surface waters for docks which are located in Outstanding Florida Waters. This exemption shall include the construction of structures above the dock area, such as gazebos and boat shelters, provided such structures are not enclosed with walls and doors, are not used for living, commercial purposes, or storage of materials other than those associated with recreational use and provided the structures do not exceed, together with the docking facility, the total area limitations above. To qualify for this exemption, any such dock and associated structure:

(1) shall be used for recreational, non-commercial activities; and (2) shall be constructed or held in place by pilings, including floating docks, so as not to involve

filling or dredging other than necessary to install the pilings; and (3) shall not substantially impede the flow of water or create a navigational hazard; and (4) shall be the sole dock constructed pursuant to this exemption as measured along the shoreline

for a minimum distance of 65 feet, unless the parcel of land or individual lot as platted is less than 65 feet in length along the shoreline, in which case there may be one exempt dock allowed per parcel or lot. For the purposes of this rule, multi-family living complexes and other types of complexes or facilities associated with the proposed private dock shall be treated as one parcel of property regardless of the legal division of ownership or control of the associated property. Construction of a private dock under this exemption does not obligate the District to issue a subsequent permit to construct a channel to provide navigational access to the dock. Activities associated with a private dock shall include the construction of the structures attached to the pier which are only suitable for the mooring or storage of boats (i.e., boatlifts). Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit the Department from taking appropriate enforcement action pursuant to Chapter 403, F.S., to abate or prohibit any activity otherwise exempt from permitting


pursuant to this paragraph if the Department can demonstrate that the exempted activity has caused water pollution in violation of Chapter 403, F.S.

d. The performance of maintenance dredging of existing manmade canals, channels, basins, berths, and

intake and discharge structures, where the spoil material is to be removed and deposited on a self-contained, upland spoil site which will prevent the escape of the spoil material and return water from the spoil site into wetlands or other surface waters, provided no more dredging is performed than is necessary to restore the canal, channels, basins, berths, and intake and discharge structures to original design specifications, and provided that control devices are used at the dredge site to prevent turbidity and toxic or deleterious substances from discharging into adjacent waters during maintenance dredging. This exemption shall apply to all canals constructed before April 3, 1970, and to those canals constructed on or after April 3, 1970, pursuant to all necessary state permits. This exemption shall not apply to the removal of a natural or manmade barrier separating a canal or canal system from adjacent wetlands or other surface waters. Where no previous permit has been issued by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, the Department, the District or the United States Army Corps of Engineers for construction or maintenance dredging of the existing manmade canal, channel, basin, berth or intake or discharge structure, such maintenance dredging shall be limited to a depth of no more than 5 feet below mean low water.

e. The installation and maintenance to design specifications of boat ramps on artificial bodies of water where navigational access to the proposed ramp exists, or the installation and maintenance to design specifications of boat ramps open to the public in any wetlands or other surface waters where navigational access to the proposed ramp exists and where the construction of the proposed ramp will be less than 30 feet wide and will involve the removal of less than 25 cubic yards of material from the wetlands or other surface waters and the installation of docks with an area of 500 square feet or less over wetlands or other surface waters that are associated with and adjoining the boat ramps constructed pursuant to this exemption. All material removed shall be placed upon a self-contained upland site so as to prevent the escape of the spoil material and return water from the spoil site into the wetlands or other surface waters. For the purpose of this exemption artificial bodies of water shall include, residential canal systems, canals permitted by a District created under Section 373.069, Florida Statutes, and artificially created portions of the Florida Intracoastal Waterway.

f. Construction of seawalls or riprap, including only that backfilling needed to level the land behind seawalls or riprap, in artificially created waterways where such construction will not violate existing water quality standards, impede navigation or adversely affect flood control. An artificially created waterway is defined as a body of water that has been totally dredged or excavated and which does not overlap natural wetlands or other surface waters. For the purpose of this exemption, artificially created waterways shall also include existing residential canal systems. This exemption does not apply to the construction of vertical seawalls in estuaries or lagoons unless the proposed construction is within an existing man-made canal where the shoreline is currently occupied in whole or in part by vertical seawalls.

g. Construction of private docks in artificially created waterways where construction will not violate water quality standards, impede navigation, or adversely affect flood control.

h. The replacement or repair of existing docks and moorings piles provided that no fill material other than the piles is to be used, and provided that the replacement or the repaired dock or mooring pile is in the same location and of the same configuration and dimensions as the dock or mooring pile being replaced or repaired. A dock or mooring pile must be functional and able to provide access to boats moored at the dock or pile before this exemption may be used unless the dock or mooring pile has been rendered nonfunctional by a discreet event such as a storm, collision or fire.

i. The restoration of a seawall or riprap at its previous location, upland of its previous location, or within one foot waterward of its previous location. No filling can be performed except in the actual restoration of the seawall or riprap. No construction shall be undertaken without necessary title or leasehold interest, especially where private and public ownership boundaries have changed as a result of natural occurrences such as accretion, reliction and natural erosion. Restoration and repair shall be performed using the criteria set forth in Section 373.414(5), Florida Statutes. This


exemption shall be limited to functioning seawalls or riprap. This exemption shall not affect the permitting requirements of Chapter 161, Florida Statutes.

j. The maintenance of functioning insect control structures, and the maintenance of functioning dikes and functioning irrigation and drainage ditches, including roadway ditches, provided that the spoil material is deposited on a self-contained upland spoil site which will prevent the escape of the spoil material and return water into wetlands or other surface waters. In the case of insect control structures, if the cost of using a self-contained upland spoil site is so excessive as determined by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, pursuant to subsection 403.088(1), Florida Statutes, that it will inhibit the proposed insect control, existing spoil sites or dikes may be used, upon notification to the District. In the case of insect control where upland spoil sites are not used pursuant to this exemption, turbidity control devices shall be used to confine the spoil material discharge to that area previously disturbed when the receiving body of water is used as a potable water supply, is designated as approved, conditionally approved, restricted or conditionally restricted waters for shellfish harvesting by the Department, or functions as a habitat for commercially or recreationally important shellfish or finfish. In all cases, no more dredging is to be performed than is necessary to restore the dike or irrigation or drainage ditch to its original design specifications. This exemption shall apply to man-made trenches dug for the purpose of draining water from the land or for transporting water for use on the land and which are not built for navigational purposes.

k. The restoration of less than 100 feet in length of existing insect control impoundment dikes and the connection of such impoundments to tidally influenced waters. Such impoundments shall be connected to tidally influenced waters for at least 6 months each year, beginning September 1, and ending February 28, if feasible, or operated in accordance with an impoundment management plan approved by the District. The connection shall be of sufficient cross-sectional area to allow beneficial tidal influence. Restoration shall involve no more dredging than needed to restore the dike to original design specifications, and such that the final elevation of the dredge area shall be within 2 feet of immediately adjacent bottom elevations. For the purposes of this paragraph, restoration shall not include maintenance of impoundment dikes of insect control impoundments.

l. The installation of subaqueous transmission and distribution lines laid on, or embedded in, the bottoms of wetlands or other surface waters, except in Class I and Class II waters and aquatic preserves, provided that no dredging or filling is necessary.

m. The replacement or repair of subaqueous transmission and distribution lines laid on or embedded in, the bottoms of wetlands or other surface waters.

n. The construction of private vertical seawalls in wetlands or other surface waters, other than in an estuary or lagoon, and the construction of riprap revetments, where such construction is between and adjoins at both ends existing seawalls or riprap, follows a continuous and uniform construction line with the existing seawalls or riprap, is no more than 150 feet in length, and does not violate existing water quality standards, impede navigation adversely or affect flood control. However, this shall not affect the permitting requirements of Chapter 161, Florida Statutes. Construction shall be in accordance with subsection 373.414(5), Florida Statutes.

o. The replacement or repair of existing open-trestle foot bridges and vehicular bridges that are 100 feet or less in length and two lanes or less in width, provided that no more dredging or filling in wetlands or other surface waters is performed than that necessary to replace or repair pilings and that the structure to be replaced or repaired is the same length, the same configuration, and in the same location as the original bridge. No debris from the original bridge shall be allowed to remain in wetlands or other surface waters.

13. The following activities shall not be required to obtain a permit under chapters 40D-4, 40D-40, or 40D-400, FAC:

a. Activities necessary to preserve, restore, repair, remove, or replace an existing communication or power pole or line, provided that work does not involve dredge or fill activities other than the removal of the existing structure and the installation of the new structure, and in the case of a power pole or line, the activity does not increase the voltage of existing power lines. An activity does not qualify to use this exemption if it results in relocation of an existing structure or facility more than 10


feet in any direction from its original location, or if it involves the construction of new power or telephone lines or the repair and replacement of existing structures that require dredge or fill activities to provide access to the site.

b. The installation, removal, and replacement of utility poles that support telephone or communication cable lines, or electric distribution lines of 35 kV or less, together with the bases and anchoring devices to support those poles, as specified below.

Appendix 12-4 Location Requirements for Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems

(Source: FAC 64E-6.005(1) through (3) and 6.007) [Revised and moved from Appendix 12-3 July 1998]

1. Systems are placed no closer than the minimum distances indicated for the following:

a. 75 ft from a private potable well b. 100 ft from a public drinking water well, if the well serves a facility with an estimated sewage flow

of 2000 gal or less per day c. 200 ft from a public drinking water well, if the well serves a facility with an estimated sewage flow

of more than 2000 gal per day d. 50 ft from a nonpotable water well e. 10 ft from a storm sewer pipe to the maximum extent possible, but no less than 5 ft f. 15 ft from the design high-water line of retention areas, detentions areas, or swales designed to

contain standing or flowing water for less than 72 hours after a rainfall or the design high-water level of normally dry drainage ditches or normally dry individual-lot stormwater retention areas.

2. Systems are not located under buildings or within 5 ft of building foundations (including pilings for

elevated structures), mobile home walls, swimming pool walls, or property lines, except when property lines abut utility easements which do not contain underground utilities, or where recorded easements are specifically provided for the installation of systems for service to more than one lot or property owner.

3. Sidewalks, decks, and patios are not subject to the 5 ft setback; however, drainfields are not to be installed

beneath these structures. Any tank located beneath a driveway has traffic lids. Concrete structures which are intended to be placed over a septic tank have a barrier of soil or plastic material placed between the structure and the tank so as to preclude adhesion of the structure to the tank.

4. Systems are not located within 10 ft of potable water lines unless the lines are sealed with a water proof sealant within a sleeve of similar material pipe to a distance of at least 10 ft from the nearest portion of the drainfield. In no case is the sleeved water line to be located within 24 in. of the onsite sewage treatment and disposal system. The sleeved water line is not located at an elevation lower than the drainfield absorption surface. Nonpotable water lines are not located within 24 in. of the system without backflow preventers or check valves being installed on the water line so as to preclude contamination of the water system.

(NOTE: A potable water line is considered any water line which is connected to a potable water supply source. Water distribution pipe material and installation requirements are regulated by each county's plumbing code.)

5. Systems have a minimum setback of 15 ft from groundwater interceptor drains. 6. Systems are not located laterally within 75 ft of the mean high water line of tidal water bodies or within 75

ft of the ordinary high water line of lakes, streams, canals, normally wet drainage ditches, retention areas designed to contain standing or flowing water for 72 h or more following a rainfall, marshes, or other nontidal surface waters. This requirement does not apply to swales that are designed to not contain water 72 h after a rainfall event. Systems are located a minimum of 15 ft from the design high water line of a retention or detention area designed to contain standing or flowing water for less than 72 h after a rainfall, or the design high water level of normally dry drainage ditches or normally dry individual lot storm water retention areas.

7. The absorption surface of the drainfield is not subject to flooding based on 10-yr flood elevations.

However, for lots or parcels created prior to 17 January 1990, if an applicant cannot construct a drainfield


system with the absorption surface of the drainfield at an elevation equal to or above the 10-yr flood elevation, a permit for an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system within the 10-yr floodplain of rivers, streams, and other bodies of flowing water will be issued.

(NOTE: The use of fill or mounding to elevate a drainfield system out of the 10-yr floodplain of rivers,

streams, or other bodies of flowing water is prohibited if such a system lies within a regulatory floodway. In cases where the 10-yr flood elevation does not coincide with the boundaries of the regulatory floodway, the regulatory floodway extends, at a minimum, to the 10-yr flood elevation.)

1. Setback distances are maintained 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 are designed to minimize adverse effects resulting from noise, odor, lighting and aerosol drift. Adequate site area is provided for operation and maintenance, and for controlling emergency discharges.

2. Slow-rate land application systems maintain a distance of 100 ft 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.

(NOTE: This distance is reduced to the following:

a. 50 ft if the setback is vegetated with trees or shrubs to create a continuous visual barrier at least 5 ft

high to minimize aerosol drift

b. 25 ft if high-level disinfection is provided in addition to the setback vegetation

c. 50 ft if only low trajectory, low pressure nozzles or surface application techniques are used within the outermost 50 ft of the application area

d. 25 ft if high-level disinfection is also provided.

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 is reduced to 30 ft. If subsurface application systems are used and if high-level disinfection is provided, the setback distance to the site property line is reduced to 10 ft. This onsite setback distance is reduced to 50 ft if high-level disinfection is provided.)

[Moved from Appendix 12-5 July 1998]

1. Setback distances are maintained 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 are designed to minimize adverse effects resulting from noise, lighting, aerosol drift, and odors. Adequate site area is provided for operation and maintenance, and for controlling emergency discharges.

2. A setback distance of 500 ft is provided from the edge of the RIB, percolation pond, basin, or trench embankments, or from the edge of an absorption field to potable water supply wells that are existing or have been approved by the Department or by the Department of Health (but not yet constructed); Class I surface waters; or Class II surface waters.

(NOTE: The setback distance to Class I and II surface waters is reduced to 100 ft if high-level disinfection is provided. Setback distance requirements apply to all Class II waters, regardless of Department classification (such as open, closed, approved, conditionally approved, restricted, conditionally restricted, prohibited, or unclassified). The setback distance to potable water supply wells, which are not potable water wells, is reduced to 200 ft if all of the following requirements are met:

a. Class I reliability is provided b. high-level disinfection is provided c. the applicant provides information in the engineering report dealing with soils, hydrogeologic

conditions, the depth and casing characteristics of such wells, proposed hydraulic loading rates, quality of reclaimed water, and expected travel time of the groundwater to the potable water supply wells that provides reasonable assurance that applicable water quality standards will not be violated at the point of withdrawal.)

3. No setback distance is required to any nonpotable water supply well. 4. Setback distances for potable water supply wells are applied only for new or expanded reuse facilities. 5. Minimum setback distances to other classes of surface waters are sufficient to provide reasonable

assurance of compliance with applicable water quality standards. 6. A setback distance of at least 100 ft is maintained from the edge of the RIBs, percolation pond, basin,

embankments, or absorption field to buildings that are not part of the treatment facility, utilities system, or municipal operations; or to the site property line.

(NOTE: This onsite setback distance is reduced to 50 ft if the following requirements are met: a. the reuse site is adjacent to a right-of-way b. the engineering report demonstrates that operation of the reuse system, including groundwater

mounding, will not adversely affect the intended use of the right-of-way c. information in the engineering report dealing with soils, hydrogeologic conditions, proposed

hydraulic loading rates, quality of reclaimed water, and expected travel time of groundwater to the site property line provides reasonable assurance that applicable water quality standards will not be violated.

13-1 Water Quality Management

SECTION 13

WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Florida Supplement, June 2000 This section covers the state requirements for Water Quality Management and is intended to Supplement the U.S. TEAM Guide. Refer to the U.S. TEAM Guide and the DOD Component Supplements for Federal, DOD, and service-specific requirements.

Definitions

• Action Level - the concentration of lead or copper in water which determines the treatment requirements that a system is required to complete (Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Title 62, Chapter 551, Section 200(1) (FAC 62-551.200(1)).

• Ambient (Natural) Temperature of a Receiving Body of Water - the existing temperature of the

receiving water at a location which is unaffected by manmade thermal discharges and a location which is also of a depth and exposure to winds and currents which typify the most environmentally stable portions of the receiving body of water (FAC 62-302.520(3)(a)).

• Background - the condition of waters in the absence of the activity or discharge under consideration,

based on the best scientific information available to the Department (FAC 62-520.200(3)). • Class F-I Groundwater - potable water use, groundwater in a single source aquifer which has a total

dissolved solids content of less than 3000 mg/L and was specifically reclassified as Class F-I by the Commission. The single source aquifer is the surficial aquifers in northeast Flagler County included in the area bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocean; on the west by Intracoastal Waterway; on the north by the north line of Sections 8 and 39, Township 10 South; and on the south from a line running due east and west from a point along the east-west boundary of Sections 9 and 10, Township 11 South, where that point intersects the northern extension of the mean high water line of Fox's Cut (FAC 62-520.410(1) and 62-520.460(1)).

• Class G-I Groundwater - potable water use, groundwater in single source aquifers which has a total

dissolved solids content of less than 3000 mg/L (FAC 62-520.410(1)). • Class G-II Groundwater - potable water use, groundwater in aquifers which has a total dissolved solids

content of less than 10,000 mg/L, unless otherwise classified by the Commission (FAC 62-520.410(1)).

• Class G-III Groundwater - nonpotable water use, groundwater in unconfined aquifers which has a total

dissolved solids content of 10,000 mg/L or greater or which has total dissolved solids of 3000 to 10,000 mg/L and either has been reclassified by the Commission as having no reasonable potential as a future source of drinking water, or has been designated by the Department as an exempted aquifer (FAC 62-520.410(1)).

• Class G-IV Groundwater - nonpotable water use, groundwater in confined aquifers which has a total

dissolved solids content of 10,000 mg/L or greater (FAC 62-520.410(1)). • Class I Injection Wells - one of the following:

1. wells used by generators of hazardous wastes or owners or operators of hazardous waste management facilities to inject hazardous waste beneath the lowermost formation containing, within 0.25 mi of the well bore, an underground source of drinking water


2. other industrial and municipal (publicly or privately owned) disposal wells which inject fluids beneath the lowermost formation containing, within 0.25 mi of the well bore, an underground source of drinking water (FAC 62-528.300(1)(a)).

• Class IV Injection Wells - wells used by generators of hazardous wastes or of radioactive wastes, by

owners or operators of hazardous waste management facilities, or by owners or operators of radioactive waste disposal sites to dispose of hazardous wastes or radioactive wastes:

1. into or above a formation which, within 0.25 mi of the well, contains either an underground source of drinking water, or an exempted aquifer

2. which cannot be classified as a Class I well (FAC 62-528.300(1)(d)). • Class V Injection Wells - only injection wells not included in Class I, II, III, or IV are Class V wells.

Generally, wells covered by this definition inject nonhazardous fluids into or above formations that contain underground sources of drinking water. This definition also includes wells not covered in Class IV that inject natural and manmade radioactive materials, provided these concentrations do not exceed current drinking water standards. Various types of Class V wells that exist or may exist in Florida are grouped together in order to facilitate the determination of permitting, operating, and monitoring requirements for these wells. The groups are:

1. Group 1, wells associated with thermal energy exchange processes, which include air-conditioning return flow wells and cooling water return flow wells. Air-conditioning return flow wells and cooling water return flow wells may be part of an open-loop or closed-loop system, with or without additives.

2. Group 2, recharge wells, saltwater intrusion barrier wells, connector wells, and subsidence control wells.

3. Group 3, wells that are part of domestic wastewater treatment systems, including septic system wells receiving domestic wastewater.

4. Group 4, nonhazardous industrial and commercial disposal wells, that include laundry waste wells, dry wells, injection wells associated with aquifer remediation projects, desalination process concentrate wells, and nuclear disposal wells used to inject radioactive wastes, provided the concentrations of the waste do not exceed drinking water standards.

5. Group 5, wells associated with mining or mineral extraction operations including wells used to inject spent brine into the same formation from which it was withdrawn after extraction of halogens or their salts, sand backfill wells, and injection wells used for in situ recovery of phosphate, uraniferous sandstone, clay, sand, and other minerals extracted by the borehole slurry mining method.

• New Potable Water Well - any excavation that is drilled, bored, or converted from nonpotable water

use, after delineation in an area delineated by the Department when the intended use of the excavation is for the location and acquisition of groundwater which supplies water for human consumption. This does not include repair of an existing potable water well (FAC 62-524.200(4)).

• Noncommunity Water System - a public water system that provides piped water for human

consumption to at least 15 service connections or which serves at least 25 individuals at least 60 days out of the year but which is not a community water system. The difference between community water systems and noncommunity water systems is that the former serves inhabitants whereas the latter serves transients or nonresidents who otherwise do not inhabit the building served by the system (FAC 62-550.200(43)).

• Nontransient, Noncommunity (NTNC) Water System - a public water system that is not a community

(1) shall be used for recreational, non-commercial activities; and (2) shall be constructed or held in place by pilings, including floating docks, so as not to

involve filling or dredging other than necessary to install the pilings; and (3) shall not substantially impede the flow of water or create a navigational hazard; and (4) shall be the sole dock constructed pursuant to this exemption as measured along the

shoreline for a minimum distance of 65 feet, unless the parcel of land or individual lot as platted is less than 65 feet in length along the shoreline, in which case there may be one exempt dock allowed per parcel or lot. For the purposes of this rule, multi-family living complexes and other types of complexes or facilities associated with the proposed private dock shall be treated as one parcel of property regardless of the legal division of ownership or control of the associated property. Construction of a private dock under this exemption does not obligate the District to issue a subsequent permit to construct a channel to provide navigational access to the dock. Activities associated with a private dock shall include the construction of the structures attached to the pier which are only suitable for the mooring or storage of boats (i.e., boatlifts). Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit the Department from taking appropriate enforcement action pursuant to Chapter 403, FS, to abate or prohibit any activity otherwise exempt from permitting pursuant to this paragraph if the


Department can demonstrate that the exempted activity has caused water pollution in violation of Chapter 403, FS

d. The performance of maintenance dredging of existing manmade canals, channels, basins, berths, and intake and discharge structures, where the spoil material is to be removed and deposited on a self-contained, upland spoil site which will prevent the escape of the spoil material and return water from the spoil site into wetlands or other surface waters, provided no more dredging is performed than is necessary to restore the canal, channels, basins, berths, and intake and discharge structures to original design specifications, and provided that control devices are used at the dredge site to prevent turbidity and toxic or deleterious substances from discharging into adjacent waters during maintenance dredging. This exemption shall apply to all canals constructed before April 3, 1970, and to those canals constructed on or after April 3, 1970, pursuant to all necessary state permits. This exemption shall not apply to the removal of a natural or manmade barrier separating a canal or canal system from adjacent wetlands or other surface waters. Where no previous permit has been issued by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, the Department, the District or the United States Army Corps of Engineers for construction or maintenance dredging of the existing manmade canal, channel, basin, berth or intake or discharge structure, such maintenance dredging shall be limited to a depth of no more than 5 feet below mean low water.

e. The installation and maintenance to design specifications of boat ramps on artificial bodies of water where navigational access to the proposed ramp exists, or the installation and maintenance to design specifications of boat ramps open to the public in any wetlands or other surface waters where navigational access to the proposed ramp exists and where the construction of the proposed ramp will be less than 30 feet wide and will involve the removal of less than 25 cubic yards of material from the wetlands or other surface waters and the installation of docks with an area of 500 square feet or less over wetlands or other surface waters that are associated with and adjoining the boat ramps constructed pursuant to this exemption. All material removed shall be placed upon a self-contained upland site so as to prevent the escape of the spoil material and return water from the spoil site into the wetlands or other surface waters. For the purpose of this exemption artificial bodies of water shall include, residential canal systems, canals permitted by a District created under Section 373.069, Florida Statutes, and artificially created portions of the Florida Intracoastal Waterway.

f. Construction of seawalls or riprap, including only that backfilling needed to level the land behind seawalls or riprap, in artificially created waterways where such construction will not violate existing water quality standards, impede navigation or adversely affect flood control. An artificially created waterway is defined as a body of water that has been totally dredged or excavated and which does not overlap natural wetlands or other surface waters. For the purpose of this exemption, artificially created waterways shall also include existing residential canal systems. This exemption does not apply to the construction of vertical seawalls in estuaries or lagoons unless the proposed construction is within an existing man-made canal where the shoreline is currently occupied in whole or in part by vertical seawalls.

g. Construction of private docks in artificially created waterways where construction will not violate water quality standards, impede navigation, or adversely affect flood control.

h. The replacement or repair of existing docks and moorings piles provided that no fill material other than the piles is to be used, and provided that the replacement or the repaired dock or mooring pile is in the same location and of the same configuration and dimensions as the dock or mooring pile being replaced or repaired. A dock or mooring pile must be functional and able to provide access to boats moored at the dock or pile before this exemption may be used unless the dock or mooring pile has been rendered nonfunctional by a discreet event such as a storm, collision or fire.

i. The restoration of a seawall or riprap at its previous location, upland of its previous location, or within one foot waterward of its previous location. No filling can be performed except in the actual restoration of the seawall or riprap. No construction shall be undertaken without necessary title or leasehold interest, especially where private and public ownership boundaries have changed as a result of natural occurrences such as accretion, reliction and natural erosion. Restoration and repair shall be performed using the criteria set forth in Section 373.414(5),


Florida Statutes. This exemption shall be limited to functioning seawalls or riprap. This exemption shall not affect the permitting requirements of Chapter 161, Florida Statutes.

j. The maintenance of functioning insect control structures, and the maintenance of functioning dikes and functioning irrigation and drainage ditches, including roadway ditches, provided that the spoil material is deposited on a self-contained upland spoil site which will prevent the escape of the spoil material and return water into wetlands or other surface waters. In the case of insect control structures, if the cost of using a self-contained upland spoil site is so excessive as determined by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, pursuant to subsection 403.088(1), Florida Statutes, that it will inhibit the proposed insect control, existing spoil sites or dikes may be used, upon notification to the District. In the case of insect control where upland spoil sites are not used pursuant to this exemption, turbidity control devices shall be used to confine the spoil material discharge to that area previously disturbed when the receiving body of water is used as a potable water supply, is designated as approved, conditionally approved, restricted or conditionally restricted waters for shellfish harvesting by the Department, or functions as a habitat for commercially or recreationally important shellfish or finfish. In all cases, no more dredging is to be performed than is necessary to restore the dike or irrigation or drainage ditch to its original design specifications. This exemption shall apply to man-made trenches dug for the purpose of draining water from the land or for transporting water for use on the land and which are not built for navigational purposes.

k. The restoration of less than 100 feet in length of existing insect control impoundment dikes and the connection of such impoundments to tidally influenced waters. Such impoundments shall be connected to tidally influenced waters for at least 6 months each year, beginning September 1, and ending February 28, if feasible, or operated in accordance with an impoundment management plan approved by the District. The connection shall be of sufficient cross-sectional area to allow beneficial tidal influence. Restoration shall involve no more dredging than needed to restore the dike to original design specifications, and such that the final elevation of the dredge area shall be within 2 feet of immediately adjacent bottom elevations. For the purposes of this paragraph, restoration shall not include maintenance of impoundment dikes of insect control impoundments.

l. The installation of subaqueous transmission and distribution lines laid on, or embedded in, the bottoms of wetlands or other surface waters, except in Class I and Class II waters and aquatic preserves, provided that no dredging or filling is necessary.

m. The replacement or repair of subaqueous transmission and distribution lines laid on or embedded in, the bottoms of wetlands or other surface waters.

n. The construction of private vertical seawalls in wetlands or other surface waters, other than in an estuary or lagoon, and the construction of riprap revetments, where such construction is between and adjoins at both ends existing seawalls or riprap, follows a continuous and uniform construction line with the existing seawalls or riprap, is no more than 150 feet in length, and does not violate existing water quality standards, impede navigation adversely or affect flood control. However, this shall not affect the permitting requirements of Chapter 161, Florida Statutes. Construction shall be in accordance with subsection 373.414(5), Florida Statutes.

o. The replacement or repair of existing open-trestle foot bridges and vehicular bridges that are 100 feet or less in length and two lanes or less in width, provided that no more dredging or filling in wetlands or other surface waters is performed than that necessary to replace or repair pilings and that the structure to be replaced or repaired is the same length, the same configuration, and in the same location as the original bridge. No debris from the original bridge shall be allowed to remain in wetlands or other surface waters.

13. The following activities shall not be required to obtain a permit under chapters 40D-4, 40D-40, or 40D-400, F.A.C.:

a. Activities necessary to preserve, restore, repair, remove, or replace an existing communication or power pole or line, provided that work does not involve dredge or fill activities other than the removal of the existing structure and the installation of the new structure, and in the case of a power pole or line, the activity does not increase the voltage of existing power lines. An activity does not qualify to use this exemption if it results in relocation of an existing structure or facility more than 10 feet in any direction from its original location, or if it involves the construction of


new power or telephone lines or the repair and replacement of existing structures that require dredge or fill activities to provide access to the site.

b. The installation, removal, and replacement of utility poles that support telephone or communication cable lines, or electric distribution lines of 35 kV or less, together with the bases and anchoring devices to support those poles, as specified below.
