Notice of Development of Rulemaking

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Rule No.: RULE TITLE
62-621.300: Permits
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Department is revising subsection 62-621.300(1), F.A.C., Generic Permit for Discharges From Petroleum Contaminated Sites and subsection 62-621.300(2), F.A.C., Generic Permit for Discharge of Produced Ground Water From any Non-Contaminated Site Activity. These revisions will update the existing generic permits that have not changed substantively since they were adopted in 1995. The revisions will reflect current NPDES program requirements, bring effluent monitoring and limitations up-to-date with current limits established in Chapter 62-302, F.A.C., and improve and streamline permit issuance.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: These two generic permits authorize discharge of ground water to surface water from specific types of contaminated and non-contaminated sites. They are used for construction related projects including removal and replacement of underground storage tanks, long-term and short-term petroleum site cleanup activities, installation of underground utilities (such as water, sewer electrical and communications lines), and construction of large buildings with significant below-grade foundations and basements.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 373.043, 373.1131, 373.413, 373.414, 373.416, 403.061, 403.087, 403.0877 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 373.043, 373.1131, 373.413, 373.414, 373.416, 403.061, 403.087, 403.0877, 403.088, 403.0885 FS.
