Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-560.546 - Statewide Monitoring Waivers for Selected Contaminants
(1) Asbestos. The Department has determined
that there are no known geologic deposits in Florida which contain asbestos
bearing minerals. Unless the Department finds that there is a source of
asbestos which could potentially contaminate a water supply and notifies the
system in accordance with Rule
62-550.511, F.A.C., public water
systems shall not be required to analyze raw water or treated water at the
entry point to the distribution system for asbestos.
(2) Dioxin. The Department has reviewed
scientific literature and testing results and determined that dioxin exhibits
very limited mobility in ground water sources. Public water systems that have
wells located at a distance of 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) or more from a potential
source of dioxin contamination shall not be required to analyze raw water or
treated water at the entry point to the distribution system for dioxin.
Potential sources of contamination include any waste disposal site or facility
using chlorine in a manufacturing process (for example, industries involved in
manufacturing bleached pulp and paper products, preserving wood, formulating
pesticides, tanning, producing cleaning products, or producing drugs and
cosmetics). If, as a result of a sanitary survey, the Department finds that a
public water system does not qualify for a waiver from dioxin monitoring, the
Department shall notify the system in writing that it must begin monitoring for
dioxin as described in Rule
62-550.500, F.A.C. Such written
notification shall include a notice of rights to administrative procedures as
described in Rule 62-110.106, F.A.C. Subpart H
systems may submit a request for waiver of monitoring requirements as described
in subsection 62-560.545(2),
F.A.C.
(3) Butachlor. The
Department has determined that butachlor has never been licensed for use in
Florida, that there are no known manufacturers of the pesticide in Florida, and
that there are no known storage sites in the state. Public water systems shall
not be required to analyze raw water or treated water at the entry point to the
distribution system for butachlor.
