Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-713.520 - Evaluation and Use of Treated Soil
(1)
The permit application for a stationary soil treatment facility shall include a
description of how the treated soils will be properly used or managed so they
will not pose a significant threat to public health or the
environment.
(2) Cleaned soil can
be land applied or used without further restrictions, except that the cleaned
soil shall not be deposited in surface waters or wetlands unless it can be
demonstrated that the cleaned soil is not expected to cause surface water
violations or to be toxic to aquatic life and does not contain other chemicals
or materials which could cause nuisance odors if saturated. Cleaned soil is
treated soil which meets all of the following criteria:
(a) The concentrations of all contaminants
detected in the treated soil are at or below the corresponding concentrations
for Residential Direct Exposure soil cleanup target levels contained in Table
II of Chapter 62-777, F.A.C., or as provided in paragraph (2)(c),
below;
(b) The concentrations of
all contaminants detected in the treated soil are at or below the corresponding
soil cleanup target levels for leachability identified in Table II of Chapter
62-777, F.A.C. The applicant may use leachability determinations based on SPLP
test results, or on TCLP test results for soil which was contaminated with used
oil or similar petroleum products, in lieu of some or all of the values in
Table II, to demonstrate that the Department's ground water and surface water
standards or criteria will not be violated; and,
(c) For contaminants detected in the treated
soil but not listed in Table II of Chapter 62-777, F.A.C., the soil cleanup
target levels for those contaminants shall be decided on a case-by-case basis
and shall be calculated using the following:
1. An excess lifetime cancer risk level less
than or equal to 1.0 x 10.6,
2. A
hazard index (sum of the hazard quotients) less than or equal to 1.0,
3. The equations provided in
Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of Chapter 62-777, F.A.C., as applicable; and,
4. The best achievable detection
limits for the chemicals of concern in the soil.
(3) When providing the demonstrations or
calculations required in subsection (2), above, the applicant may use
information contained in "Technical Report: Development of Soil Cleanup Target
Levels (SCTLs) for Chapter 62-777, F.A.C., Final Report" dated May 26,
1999.
(4) Treated soil which does
not meet the criteria for cleaned soil shall be managed in one of the following
manners:
(a) It may be treated
again;
(b) It may be blended in
accordance with paragraph
62-713.300(2)(e),
F.A.C., so that it meets the criteria for cleaned soil;
(c) It may be disposed of in a Class I
landfill or Waste-to-Energy facility if allowed under that facility's permit or
certification, or
(d) It may be
beneficially used in accordance with an approval of alternate procedures and
requirements as provided in Rule
62-713.220,
F.A.C.

State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
