HB 1225

1	A bill to be entitled
2	An act relating to sewage disposal facilities; amending s.
3	403.086, F.S.; requiring facilities contributing domestic
4	wastewater to facilities discharging through ocean
5	outfalls to meet specified reuse requirements if they
6	divert such flows from the facilities discharging through
7	ocean outfalls; providing that such reuse is credited to
8	the facilities discharging through ocean outfalls;
9	providing an effective date.
10
11	Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
12
13	Section 1.  Paragraph (i) is added to subsection (9) of
14	section 403.086, Florida Statutes, to read:
15	403.086  Sewage disposal facilities; advanced and secondary
16	waste treatment.-
17	(9)  The Legislature finds that the discharge of domestic
18	wastewater through ocean outfalls wastes valuable water supplies
19	that should be reclaimed for beneficial purposes to meet public
20	and natural systems demands. The Legislature also finds that
21	discharge of domestic wastewater through ocean outfalls
22	compromises the coastal environment, quality of life, and local
23	economies that depend on those resources. The Legislature
24	declares that more stringent treatment and management
25	requirements for such domestic wastewater and the subsequent,
26	timely elimination of ocean outfalls as a primary means of
27	domestic wastewater discharge are in the public interest.
28	(i)  A facility that diverts wastewater flow from a
29	facility that discharges domestic wastewater through an ocean
30	outfall to which it had previously contributed wastewater flow
31	is required to meet the 60-percent reuse requirement of
32	paragraph (c), and that reuse shall be credited to the facility
33	discharging domestic wastewater through an ocean outfall.
34	Section 2.  This act shall take effect July 1, 2010.
