Who is regulated under DEP waste disposal rules?
The waste disposal rules of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) apply to you if • the volume of water to be processed exceeds 5,000 gallons per day; • the water contains industrial or hazardous waste; • the system is located in an area that is zoned for industry or manufacturing. If your system falls into one of these categories, you should contact DEP because they will require a separate permit and impose further restrictions on the system. In addition to the statewide rules, local governments will typically have their own rules and requirements for permitting and regulating the disposal system.
