Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-524.200 - Definitions for New Potable Water Well Permitting in Delineated Areas
(1) "Available
Potable Water System" means, for the purpose of this chapter, a public water
system, as defined in Rule
62-550.200, F.A.C., which has
sufficient capacity and is legally able to serve specific additional
connections.
(2) "Delineated Area"
means a surface area identified pursuant to Rule
62-524.420, F.A.C., within which
ground water contamination is known to exist or which encompasses vulnerable
areas or areas in which the Department provides a subsidy for restoration or
replacement of contaminated drinking water supplies.
(3) "Ground Water Contamination" means, for
the purpose of this chapter, the presence outside an applicable zone of
discharge in Class F-I, G-I, or G-II ground water of one or more substances in
quantities which exceed a primary drinking water maximum contaminant level as
set forth in Chapter 62-550, F.A.C., present an imminent hazard pursuant to
Section 403.855, F.S., or for which the
State Health Officer in the Department of Health, based upon a written request
from the Department, has advised the Department in writing is present in
deleterious amounts. The determination, under this section, of the existence of
ground water contamination based upon the presence of deleterious amounts shall
not constitute the establishment of a standard under either Chapter 62-520 or
62-550, F.A.C. If the concentration of any primary drinking water standard in
the natural background quality of the ground water is greater than the stated
maximum contaminant level, the representative background value shall be the
prevailing standard.
(4) "New
Potable Water Well" means any excavation that is drilled or bored, or converted
from non-potable water use, after delineation in an area delineated pursuant to
Rule 62-524.400, F.A.C., when the intended use of such excavation is for the
location and acquisition of ground water which supplies water for human
consumption. This does not include repair of an existing potable water
well.
(5) "Vulnerable area" is an
area in which research or monitoring data indicate that ground water is
vulnerable to nitrate contamination because of the presence of potential
sources of nitrate contamination, and because of land surface and subsurface
characteristics.
