The Department is proposing amendments to Chapter 62-604, F.A.C., entitled Collection Systems and Transmission Facilities, to update provisions, streamline processes including permitting, improve the collection and transmission of domestic wastewater, and implement the relevant requirements of Florida’s Clean Waterways Act (Chapter 2020-150, Laws of Florida). The revisions clarify that emergency pumping capability must be maintained; emergency response plans shall address hurricanes, cybersecurity, and surface water monitoring; that collection systems be operated and maintained to prevent infiltration, inflow, and leakages; and to minimize sanitary sewer overflows. The revisions also clarify separation requirements between sewers and water mains as well as provide timeframes for placing newly constructed collection systems into operation. OTHER RULES INCORPORATING THIS RULE: 62-302.300, 62-600.300, 62-610.469, 62-620.400, 62-620.410, 62-620.620, 62-620.630, 62-660.806, F.A.C.
