    SUMMARY: This rule development will cover updating existing rules to delete redundant and unnecessary rules, clarify rules, incorporate referenced material, and update rule references.

    SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

    The District has determined that this rule will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the District.

    The District has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: Upon review of the proposed changes to the rule, the District has determined that the amendments will not exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.

    Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated regulatory costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

    Note: A 4 inch nominal size casing with a wall thickness of 0.188 and a plain end weight of 8.66 may be used if it conforms to standard API 5L-6/91, Grade B, 60 KSI tensile strength. For example A53-89Aa, Grade B, may also be substituted.

Any PVC pipe used for well construction or repair shall, at a minimum, meet specifications for Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR 21) and have a working pressure rating of not less than 200 p.s.i. at 73 degrees F or shall be ASA Schedule 40. Other nonmetallic pipe shall not be used unless it can be shown the pipe will maintain its integrity so as to prevent degradation of the water resource. The Department of Environmental Protection, under the provisions of paragraph 62-532.500(1)(f), F.A.C., requires all other nonmetallic well casing to receive Department approval prior to use.

    40A-3.517 Grouting and Sealing.

    Wells shall be grouted and sealed to protect the water resource from degradation caused by movement of waters along the well annulus either from the surface to the aquifer or between aquifers, and to prevent loss of artesian pressure in artesian aquifers. All wells shall be constructed and sealed using a method which insures that an open or unnaturally permeable annular space does not remain when a well is completed.

    (1) Rotary wells located south of grout line. The grout line is established in a Florida Department of Environmental Regulation Grout Exemption Letter, effective 9-10-1980, http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-08941, and is hereby incorporated by reference and can be obtained from the District’s website (nwfwater.com) or from District offices upon request. Wells constructed by the rotary method and located south of the grout line established in Appendix I of these rules shall have an annular space between the casing and the borehole wall of not less than two inches and shall be sealed according to the following criteria:

    (a) through (c) No change.

    (2) Rotary wells located north of the grout line. The grout line is established in a Florida Department of Environmental Regulation Grout Exemption Letter, effective 9-10-1980, http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-08941, and is incorporated by reference in Rule 40A-3.517(1), F.A.C., and can be obtained from the District’s website (nwfwater.com) or from District offices upon request.
