17         Section 9.  Section 218.076, Florida Statutes, is

18  created to read:

19         218.076  Reduction or waiver of certain permit

20  processing fees.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

21  the Department of Environmental Protection shall waive

22  processing fees for renewals of exemptions from the Class G-11

23  groundwater standards for sodium, odor, chloride, color, and

24  total dissolved solids issued to any county, municipality, or

25  independent special district, with reclaimed water land

26  application facilities for wastewater effluent disposal when

27  such exemptions were granted by the Department by final agency

28  action based upon findings that:

29         (1)  The public will benefit from the land application

30  due to the augmentation of the shallow water aquifer for

31  irrigation use; and

    Amendment No. 01 (for drafter's use only)





 1         (2)  Compliance with the Class G-11 Ground Water

 2  Standard for sodium, chloride, color, and total dissolved

 3  solids is unnecessary for the protection of present and future

 4  potable water supplied; and

 5         (3)  The receiving water for the discharge is the local

 6  surficial aquifer used only for irrigation and allowed

 7  discharge will not impair such use; and

 8         (4)  The constituents for which the exemptions are

 9  granted are not expected to cause health-related problems at

10  the projected discharge concentrations; and

11         (5)  There is no reasonable relationship between

12  economic, social, and environmental cost of compliance with

13  the Class G-11 Ground Water Standards for sodium, chloride,

14  odor, color, and total dissolved solids, and the economic,

15  social, and environmental benefits of compliance; and

16         (6)  The State of Florida provided the majority of the

17  funds required to construct the wastewater treatment facility

18  creating the discharge effluent; and

19         (7)  The potential benefit of compliance is minor; and

20         (8)  The applicant for the permit renewal has complied

21  with all of the terms and conditions of the exemptions

22  previously approved and which is (are) the subject of the

23  renewal application.
