1(1) Surface runoff control.
5(a) The land application site shall be designed to prevent the entrance of surface runoff. If necessary, berms shall be placed around the application area for this purpose. Provisions for on-site surface runoff control shall be described in the engineering report and subject to Department approval.
51(b) The requirements of subsection 5662-610.850(1), 57F.A.C., shall apply to discharges to surface waters from perimeter drainage features that collect reclaimed water after land application.
76(c) Rapid-rate land application systems that result in the collection and discharge of more than 50 percent of the applied reclaimed water shall be considered as effluent disposal systems. This criterion shall be used solely to classify projects as “reuse” or “disposal.” This criterion in no way affects the requirements in paragraph 12862-610.517(1)(b), 129F.A.C.
130(2) Subsurface drainage.
133(a) If subsurface drain systems are needed, they shall be designed in accordance with appropriate portions of paragraph 15162-610.300(1)(c), 152F.A.C., concerning Natural Resources Conservation Service criteria for subsurface drains. The drainage system shall be designed so that the seasonal high water table is drawn down to a minimum of 36 inches below pond bottoms during resting periods. The requirements of subsection 19462-610.850(1), 195F.A.C., shall apply to discharges to surface waters from the drainage system.
207(b) Rapid-rate land application systems that result in the collection and discharge of more than 50 percent of the applied reclaimed water shall be considered as effluent disposal systems. This criterion shall be used solely to classify projects as “reuse” or “disposal.” This criterion in no way affects the requirements in paragraph 25962-610.517(2)(a), 260F.A.C.
