PURPOSE:

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) gives notice that it proposes to amend Chapter 62-600, F.A.C., to update, clarify, and eliminate redundancy in requirements applicable to domestic wastewater facilities.  The proposed rules will simplify and clarify requirements, correct rule references, and will be consistent with recently adopted rules and statutory requirements.  Rules are proposed for repeal where requirements are obsolete, duplicative of other rules or statutory requirements, or have been superseded by other rules or statutory requirements.  As part of this rulemaking effort, some requirements from Chapter 62-601, F.A.C., Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant Monitoring, are incorporated into Chapter 62-600, F.A.C.  Chapter 62-601, F.A.C., is proposed for repeal simultaneously with the adoption of the proposed amendments to Chapter 62-600, F.A.C.

SUMMARY:

Chapter 62-600, F.A.C., is being revised to simplify design, operation, monitoring, and reporting requirements applicable to domestic wastewater facilities.  Requirements are also being revised to eliminate obsolete and redundant requirements and updated to be consistent with other DEP rules, including Chapters 62-520, 62-528, 62-610, and 62-640, Florida Department of Health Chapter 64-E-6, F.A.C., and ocean outfall legislation adopted in Section 403.086(9), F.S.  Chapter 62-601, F.A.C., is proposed for repeal simultaneously with the adoption of the amendments to Chapter 62-600, F.A.C., which includes requirements moved from Chapter 62-601, F.A.C.
