Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-713.500 - Operational Requirements

Owners and operators of stationary soil treatment facilities shall comply with the following operational requirements:

(1) An operation plan for the facility shall be prepared which includes:

(a) A description of general facility operations, the number of personnel responsible for the operations including their respective job descriptions, and the types of equipment that will be used at the facility;

(b) Procedures to chemically test the contaminated soil received by the facility and to properly manage or dispose of unauthorized soil;

(c) Procedures to ensure the pretreatment and post-treatment testing requirements of Rule 62-713.510, F.A.C., are properly implemented;

(d) A contingency plan to cover operation interruptions and emergencies such as fires, explosions, or natural disasters;

(e) A description of where all the contaminated soil and treated soil will be stored at the facility;

(f) Procedures to ensure operational records required in subsection (5) of this rule are adequately prepared and maintained; and,

(g) Procedures to ensure each batch of contaminated soil shall be clearly identified by source and stockpiled separately until all pretreatment sampling and analyses required by Rule 62-713.510, F.A.C, are complete.

(2) All activities at the facility shall be performed in accordance with the operation plan, the facility's permit conditions and the requirements of this chapter. The operation plan shall be updated as operations change but no less frequently than upon renewal of the permit. The Department shall be notified of changes to the operation plan other than those required for routine maintenance.

(3) Unless an alternate quantity is included in the operation plan submitted with the permit application, which includes a demonstration that a larger volume of untreated soil can be properly managed at the facility, the maximum quantity of untreated soil stored at the facility shall be limited to:

(a) Thirty times the average daily through-put of the treatment equipment being used for continuous flow treatment processes; and,

(b) The amount of contaminated soil that can be treated based upon the minimum area and maximum soil height requirements in subparagraph 62-713.400(1)(c) 9., F.A.C., for batch treatment processes.

(4) Contaminated soil shall be physically screened, or otherwise processed, in order to ensure that particles greater in size than what can be properly treated are prevented from entering into the treatment units. The allowable particle size is two inch mesh (diameter) or smaller, unless a demonstration is provided in the permit application that the treatment units can adequately process larger particles sizes. All non-treatable materials physically screened from the contaminated soil shall be disposed of at a permitted Class I landfill or Waste-to-Energy facility if allowed under that facility's permit or certification.

(5) All operational records shall be maintained and kept at the facility for a minimum of five years and shall be available for inspection by the Department. These records shall include the following:

(a) Tonnages of soils received on a per-job basis along with the required pretreatment analytical records;

(b) Daily operating logs demonstrating that the critical operational parameters contained in subparagraphs 62-713.400(1)(c) 8. and 9., F.A.C., are being achieved;

(c) Blending records required in paragraph 62-713.300(2)(f), F.A.C.;

(d) Soil testing records required on Form 62-713.900(3); and,

(e) The results of any additional soil laboratory analyses required in Rules 62-713.510 and 62-713.520, F.A.C, which are needed to operate the facility and manage the treated soil.

(6) Any hazardous waste that is inadvertently accepted or is generated at the facility as a result of the treatment process shall be managed as a hazardous waste pursuant to Chapter 62-730, F.A.C.
