RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

62-610.865Blending of Demineralization Concentrate with Reclaimed Water

The Department of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice that on January 31, 2018, the Department issued a Final Order granting Orange Tree Utilities Wastewater Treatment Plant’s (WWTP) petition for a temporary variance from paragraphs 62-610.865(8)(b)(d), 62-610.865(9)(a), and 62-610.865(10)(b), F.A.C., which apply to a domestic wastewater facility that blends concentrate with reclaimed water. The WWTP is located at 1341 Oil Well Road, Naples, Florida. The petition was received on October 3, 2017. Notice of receipt of this Petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on October 13, 2017. No public comments were received. The Final Order (File No. FLA014165) granted a temporary variance (through June 30, 2019), from the requirement for continuous monitoring and recording of flow and blend ratio, a temporary variance from the requirement to store demineralization concentrate and a temporary variance from the requirement to establish an operating protocol for the blending. The Department action was based on Petitioner’s showing that a strict application of the rule would result in substantial hardship to Petitioner.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting Nolin Moon, South District, Department of Environmental Protection, P.O. Box 2549, Fort Myers, Florida 33902, telephone: [phone], [e-mail], during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays.
