Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-611.700 - Monitoring Requirements
(1) To
ensure compliance with water quality standards and to establish a data base
upon which to evaluate the design criteria and the performance of the treatment
or receiving wetland, a monitoring program shall be required. Data to be
collected shall include but not be limited to parameters, stations, and
frequency as listed in Tables 1, 2, and 3. After three years of operation, the
permittee may request a modification in the parameters and frequency of the
monitoring program based on a demonstration that there is an adequate data base
to predict future trends in the effects of the discharge of reclaimed water on
the wetland. The proposed monitoring plans, using scientifically accepted
methodology and appropriate quality assurance, shall be submitted to the
Department. The Department shall approve or deny the plan within 45 days of
receipt of all necessary information. Upon Department approval of the plan and
format for data reporting, baseline monitoring may begin.
(2) Upon Department approval of the plan and
format for data reporting an application to construct a domestic wastewater
treatment and disposal system may be filed. Before discharge of reclaimed water
to a treatment or receiving wetland begins, the applicant shall complete a
baseline monitoring program to determine background conditions. The department
shall utilize baseline monitoring data to evaluate whether the discharge from a
treatment or receiving wetland will exceed the limits established pursuant to
Rule 62-611.450, F.A.C. The
Department may determine that an application to construct a domestic wastewater
treatment and disposal system is complete prior to completion of the baseline
monitoring program if, pursuant to subsections
62-4.070(1) and
62-302.300(5),
F.A.C., reasonable assurance is provided by the applicant that the discharge
from the treatment or receiving wetland will not cause or contribute to
violations of water quality criteria contained in Chapter 62-302, F.A.C., in
contiguous and downstream waters. If baseline monitoring data indicate the
discharge from the treatment or receiving wetland may exceed the limits
established in Rule 62-611.450, F.A.C., Water
Quality Based Effluent Limitations (WQBEL) must be established pursuant to Rule
62-600.430, F.A.C. Any WQBEL
shall be incorporated as a permit condition.
