PURPOSE AND EFFECT: 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.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: A SERC has been prepared. Most of the amendments are clarifications or updates to the existing rules. However, there are several rule amendments that may have an impact on small businesses as summarized hereafter. Water wells are required to be installed by licensed water well contractors and nearly, if not all, of these contractors operate as or are employees of small businesses. Some of the owners of wells including owners of water systems that rely on water from wells are small businesses, small cities, or small counties. The following is a summary of the amendments that may result in an increased or decreased cost. Under the current rule, a geothermal well is not specifically addressed or listed as a water well. However, under the statutory and rule definitions of a well, these types of wells should be considered water wells and regulated as such. Because a water well contractor is required to obtain a license from a water management district by passing a written test and maintaining the license through continuing education, all non-licensed geothermal well installers may incur additional costs because of this amendment. The proposed amendments will impose standards and specifications for heat exchange pipes and fitting materials and for grouting and sealing methods for geothermal wells due to the possibilities of breaching confining units and potential threats of aquifer cross contamination. These new requirements may increase costs to some water well contractors and geothermal well installers who currently do not have these specified manuals and standards and use cheaper, non-standard materials in geothermal well construction. It is conceivable such a requirement may increase well construction costs for some water well contractors that would use native fill or lower cost grouting and sealing methods in the absence of the proposed rule. The amendments will expand the undercutting requirement to wells with driven casing permitted in the delineated areas pursuant to Chapter 62-524, F.A.C., and to production wells for bottled water plants with driven casing. It is conceivable such a requirement may primarily increase costs to persons intending to construct wells with driven casings in the delineated areas. The Department is proposing to amend set back distances from sanitary hazards based on a recent change to Chapter 62-555, F.A.C. This will reduce the setback from some sanitary hazards for public water supply wells from 100 feet to 50 feet. This change may reduce costs to a small number of property owners by having more options for placement of a well. The rules will adopt two statewide forms for water well permitting. Because the statewide forms require more information from applicants, some water well contractors may believe they would take more time to complete. However, the consistency among the water management districts by using the same forms will ultimately save time in their completion.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

All water wells shall be properly designed and constructed to prevent an interchange of water between water bearing zones that which may result in deterioration of the quality of water in one or more water bearing zones, or will result in a loss of artesian pressure. If a well cannot be properly completed to prevent such an unauthorized interchange of water between water bearing zones or to prevent a loss of artesian pressure, the well shall be abandoned and plugged in accordance with this Chapter or other directions from the permitting authority, which are appropriate for the hydrogeological conditions encountered.
(f) In the construction, repair, or abandonment of a water well, caution shall be taken to maintain the work site so as to minimize the potential entrance of contaminants into the bore hole and the ground water resource.
(g) Only water from a potable water source shall used in the construction, repair or abandonment of a water well, including water for cleaning of well materials, drilling equipment, and water used to mix drilling fluids.
(h)(e) No change.
(i)(f) Grouting and Sealing.
1. All well casings seated into a Casing for wells which obtain their water from a rock layer or other such consolidated formation shall, at a minimum, be seated or sealed with neat cement grout, into that rock layer or other consolidated formation.
2. No change.
3. In the construction of water wells with driven casing, fFor limited use commercial public water systems, limited use community public water systems, and public water systems, potable water wells permitted pursuant to Chapter 62-524, F.A.C., and water wells serving bottled water plants constructed with driven casing, the minimum acceptable seal shall be accomplished by undercutting or under-reaming the last five feet of the hole before seating the casing. A minimum of one foot of such enlarged hole must be into the consolidated formation in which the casing will be seated. The entire enlarged portion of the hole shall be filled with cement grout, and then the casing shall be driven through the cement grout and seated into the enlarged one-foot portion of the consolidated formation. The uppermost 20 feet of casing shall be sealed with no less than a two-inch nominal thickness of cement grout. No other minimum seal shall be acceptable unless approved by the appropriate water management district or delegated permitting authority as providing equivalent protection to the resource.
4. For any part of a well casing with an outside diameter of four inches or larger intended to be installed in a bore hole which is larger in diameter than the inside outside diameter of the casing, the annular space shall be filled from bottom to top with not less than a nominal two-inch thickness of neat cement grout. For those well casings with an outside diameter of less than four inches, intended to be installed in a bore hole which is larger in diameter than the inside diameter of the casing, the minimum grout thickness shall be a nominal one inch thickness of neat cement grout. The casing shall be centered in the bore hole prior to grouting. In those cases where, during grouting operations, the circulation of the grout is lost so that the annular space being grouted cannot be filled in one continuous operation, a tremie pipe shall be installed in the annular space to a point immediately above the zone of lost circulation and the annulus shall be bridged at that point by sand or other approved material introduced through the pipe. Grouting of annular space shall be completed using the tremie pipe or other equivalent method approved by the permitting authority.
5. No change.
6. Except as provided in subparagraph 5. above, grouting and sealing of water wells shall be accomplished by the practices and methods recommended by Appendix C of American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard A100-97, AWWA Standard for Water Wells, and grouting and sealing of geothermal wells shall be accomplished by the practices and methods recommended by the Vertical Geothermal Heat Pump Systems Engineering Design and Field Procedures Manual, published by the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, First Edition 2000, Oklahoma State University, which are adopted and incorporated by reference herein. Copies of these recommended practices and methods may be obtained from the American Water Works Association, 6666 West Quincy Avenue, Denver, CO 80235; and the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, Oklahoma State University, 374 Cordell South, Stillwater, OK 74078-8018, respectively.
7. Alternate grouting methods and materials providing equivalent protection shall be approved in writing by the permitting authority. Alternatives to the grouting methods described in subparagraphs 1.-6. Above, must be requested for use from the permitting authority as part of the construction permit application, or once construction begins only in situations where the methods in the rules are not working. In either situation, a detailed explanation of what and why alternate methods are requested must be provided. Alternate grout materials (other than neat cement grout) must be requested in the construction permit application, or once construction begins only when neat cement grout is not providing or will not provide as good a seal as the alternate materials.
(3) through (4) renumbered (4) through (5) No change.

TABLE I FOOTNOTES
(a) This distance shall be reduced to 200 feet if facility Class I reliability is provided and shall be reduced to 100 feet if both facility Class I reliability and high-level disinfection are provided.
(b) This distance shall be reduced to 200 feet if both facility Class I reliability and high-level disinfection are provided and if the applicant provides reasonable assurance that applicable water quality standards will not be violated at the point of withdrawal.
(c) This distance applies only to shallow water supply wells (i.e., potable water wells that pump from an unconfined water table aquifer).
(d) This distance applies to public drinking water supply wells that serve water systems having total sewage flows greater than 2,000 gallons per day.
(e) This distance applies to public drinking water supply wells that serve water systems having total sewage flows less than or equal to 2,000 gallons per day.
(f) This distance applies to sanitary hazards that pose a potentially high risk to ground water quality and public health as defined in subsection 62-555.312(3), F.A.C. The following examples are of sanitary hazards that pose a potentially high risk: active or abandoned mines; airplane or train fueling or maintenance areas at airports and railroad yards; concentrated aquatic animal production facilities; domestic wastewater collection/transmission systems; drainage or injection wells, oil or gas production wells, and improperly constructed or abandoned wells (i.e., wells not constructed or abandoned in accordance with Chapter 62-532, F.A.C.); fertilizer, herbicide, or pesticide storage areas at agricultural sites, golf courses, nurseries, and parks; graveyards; impoundments and tanks that process, store, or treat domestic wastewater, domestic wastewater residuals, or industrial fluids or waste and that are not regulated under Rule 62-670.500, F.A.C.; industrial waste land application areas other than those regulated under Rule 62-670.500, F.A.C.; junkyards and salvage or scrap yards; pastures with more than five grazing animals per acre; cattle dip vats; pipelines conveying petroleum products, chemicals, or industrial fluids or wastes; and underground storage tanks that are not regulated under Chapter 62-761, F.A.C., but are used for bulk storage of a liquid pollutant or hazardous substance (as defined in Chapter 62-761, F.A.C.) other than sodium hypochlorite solution. Sanitary hazard means a physical condition which involves or affects any part of a drinking water system or raw water source, and that creates an imminent or potentially serious risk to the health of any person who consumes water from that system. Examples of sanitary hazards include drainage wells; commercial applications of pesticides or fertilizers, such as golf courses, nurseries and crop production sites; animal feeding operations; improperly abandoned wells; active or abandoned phosphate mines; pipelines carrying industrial chemicals; railroad yards; domestic wastewater; cemeteries; stormwater retention/detention basins; tanks or lagoons used to store, treat, or dispose of liquid wastes; cattle dipping vats; tomato or egg wash wastewater land application areas; or waste transfer stations.
(g) This distance applies to sanitary hazards that pose a potentially moderate risk to ground water quality and public health as defined in subsection 62-555.312(3), F.A.C. The following examples are of sanitary hazards that pose a moderate risk: aboveground storage tanks that are not regulated under Chapter 62-762, F.A.C., but are used for bulk storage of a liquid pollutant or hazardous substance (as defined in Chapter 62-762, F.A.C.) other than sodium hypochlorite solution; fertilizer, herbicide, or pesticide application areas that are not under the ownership or control of the supplier of water at agricultural sites, golf courses, nurseries, and parks; railroad tracks; stormwater detention or retention basins; and surface water (the surface water setback does not apply to multi-family and private wells). This distance shall be reduced to 15 feet for wells that are installed through an impervious strata of clay, hardpan, or rock and that are constructed in accordance with subparagraph 62-532.500(2)(f)3, F.A.C.
