64E-6.017. Definitions  


Effective on Wednesday, March 22, 2000
  • 1Definitions in Chapter 64E-6, Parts I and III, F.A.C., are also applicable to Chapter 64E-6, Part II, F.A.C.

    19(1) Building Area – that enclosed area of a dwelling unit, excluding the garage, carport, exterior storage shed, or open or screened patios or decks. Calculations of building area shall be made by measurements of the outside building dimensions. Building area of each additional story of the structure shall be added to determine the total building area.

    76(2) Cesspit – a pit, with or without a cover, that receives untreated sewage from a building and discharges the sewage, either untreated or improperly treated, directly to the surrounding soil or limestone. A septic tank that functions as a cesspit shall be considered a cesspit.

    122(3) Injection well – an open vertical hole at least 90 feet in depth, fully cased and grouted to at least 60 feet in depth which is used to dispose of onsite sewage treatment and disposal system effluent.

    160(4) Minimum level of waste treatment – a treatment which will provide a recovered water product that contains not more, on a permitted annual average basis, than the following concentrations from a sampling point located following the final design treatment step of the onsite sewage treatment and disposal system:

    209(a) Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD2145215)

    21610 mg/1

    218(b) Suspended Solids

    22110 mg/1

    223(c) Total Nitrogen, expressed as N

    22910 mg/1

    231(d) Total Phosphorus, expressed as P

    2371 mg/1

    239(5) Salt Marsh and Buttonwood Associations – two plant associations that are sometimes collectively or individually referred to as the “transitional zone.”

    261(a) The salt marsh community is a wetland area subject to tidal influence wherein the dominant vegetation includes the following:

    2811. 282Batis maritima 284Saltwort;

    2852. 286Distichilis spicata 288Salt grass;

    2903. 291Fimbristylis castanea 293Chestnut sedge;

    2954. 296Monanthochloe littoralis 298Key grass;

    3005. 301Salicornia spp. 303Glasswort;

    3046. 305Sesuvium portulacastrum 307Sea purslane; and

    3107. 311Spartina spp. 313Cordgrass.

    314The woody vegetation that may be present includes red, white and black mangroves, as well as buttonwood (332Conocarpus erectus334); the salt marsh community is distinguished by the dominance of non-woody plants, and the woody species have a coverage of less than 40 percent. The salt marsh community may be associated and intermixed with areas of almost bare ground on which the vegetation may be limited to mats of algae.

    385(b) The buttonwood association is an association that is usually present in the more landward zone, and may intermix with more upland communities. The vegetation may include, but is not limited to, the following species:

    4201. 421Borrichia spp. 423Sea oxeye daisy;

    4262. 427Bumelia celastrina 429Saffron plum;

    4313. 432Coccoloba uvifera 434Sea grape;

    4364. 437Conocarpus erectus 439Buttonwood;

    4405. 441Erithalis fruticosa 443Black torch;

    4456. 446Fimbristylis castanea 448Chestnut sedge;

    4507. 451Jacquinia keyensis 453Joewood;

    4548. 455Lycium carolinianum 457Christmas berry;

    4599. 460Maytenus phyllanthoides 462Mayten; and

    46410. 465Spartina spp. 467Cordgrass.

    468The buttonwood association is distinguished from the salt marsh association by the dominance of buttonwood trees, usually occurring as an open stand that permits the growth of an under-story of groundcovers and shrubs.

    501(6) Nutrient reducing material – material which is used in the final treatment stage of an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system to reduce effluent nutrient levels to the minimum level of waste treatment.

    535(7) Undocumented system – an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system that does not have a record of installation and approval.
