Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Chapter:

WATER WELL PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Overview

RULE:

62-532.200	Definitions for Water Well Permitting and Construction
62-532.400	Permit for Water Well Construction, Repair, or Abandonment
62-532.410	Water Well Completion Report
62-532.440	Abandonment of Water Wells (Repealed)
62-532.500	Water Well Construction Standards
62-532.900	Forms (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

To make Chapter 62-532, F.A.C., consistent with recent amendments to Chapters 64E-8 and 62-555, F.A.C., address technical changes to industry practices, adopt standardized forms for statewide use and update references.

SUMMARY:

The proposed amendments to the rule add four new definitions, set forth the construction standards for wells serving bottled water plants and wells permitted pursuant to Chapter 62-524, F.A.C., set forth the geothermal well tubing and fitting material standards and grouting requirements, amends several technical drilling methods related to well construction and grouting requirements, amends the alternate grouting requirements, updates the references to NSF International and the American National Standards Institute, updates the setback distances and footnotes in Table 1, and adopts new statewide forms for water well permitting. In addition, the rulemaking uses plain language as much as possible, corrects or improves grammar, and updates citations where needed. There are many Department of Environmental Protection rules that reference rules in this Notice. Rule 62-532.400, F.A.C., which includes the reference to Table 1 with the setback distances, is referenced in Rule 62-555.312, F.A.C., but the amendment will have no effect. Rule 62-532.500, F.A.C., is referenced in Rules 62-520.600, 62-524.550, 62-761.600, 62-762.600, and 62-762.640, F.A.C., and these amendments have no effect on those rules except for Rule 62-524.550, F.A.C., which does effect the construction standards for grouting of wells under Chapter 62-524, F.A.C.
