Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-611.350 - General Quantitative Design Criteria
(1) Hydraulic loading rates shall be designed
to minimize alteration of the natural hydroperiod and for wetlands used for
treatment to maximize their assimilative capacity. The annual average hydraulic
loading shall not exceed two inches per week, except in hydrologically altered
wetlands where the annual average hydraulic loading shall be appropriately
designed for the site and approved by the Department to assure compliance with
subsection 62-611.500(5),
and Rule 62-611.450, F.A.C., and shall
not exceed six inches per week.
(2)
Upon renewal of the operation permit, the permittee may request a modification
of design criteria based on a demonstration that predicted future trends in the
effects of reclaimed water on the wetland and downstream waters, as will occur
from the proposed modification, will meet standards pursuant to this rule. This
demonstration shall be made based on five years of operational monitoring data
as specified in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of Rule
62-611.700, F.A.C.
(3) Reclaimed water shall be stored in a
holding pond constructed according to requirements provided in the manual on
the Land Application of Domestic Wastewater Effluent in Florida referenced in
Rule 62-610.300, F.A.C. The holding
pond shall have sufficient storage capacity to assure retention of reclaimed
water that has not been treated to an acceptable quality for discharge to a
treatment or receiving wetland. At a minimum, this capacity shall be the volume
equivalent to one day's flow at the permitted capacity of the treatment plant.
Provisions for recirculating and treating reclaimed water that has not been
treated to an acceptable quality for discharge to a treatment or receiving
wetland shall be incorporated into the design of the
facility.
