Please note that the effective date of this permit is March 1, 2018 which is also the issuance date of this notice. Monitoring requirements under this permit are effective on May 1, 2018 the first day of the second month following the effective date of the permit. The Department’s proposed agency action shall become final unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, within fourteen days of receipt of notice. The procedures for petitioning for a hearing are set forth below. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000. Under Rule 62-110.106(4), Florida Administrative Code, a person may request enlargement of the time for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. The request must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of General Counsel before the end of the time period for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. Petitions by the applicant or any of the persons listed below must be filed within fourteen days of receipt of this written notice. Petitions filed by any person other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), Florida Statutes, must be filed within fourteen days of publication of the notice or within fourteen days of receipt of the written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), Florida Statutes, however, any person who has asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication. The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of notice shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated 1 Rick D. Hacht, President H & H Liquid Sludge Disposal, Inc. File Number FLA801097-002-DWB Page 2 by another party) will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, Florida Administrative Code. A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name, address, and telephone number of each petitioner; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s representative, if any; the Department permit identification number and the county in which the subject matter or activity is located; (b) A statement of how and when each petitioner received notice of the Department action; (c) A statement of how each petitioner's substantial interests are affected by the Department action; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A statement of facts that the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the Department action; (f) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, as well as the rules and statutes which entitle the petitioner to relief; and (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action that the petitioner wants the Department to take. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Department’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Department have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above. Mediation under Section 120.573, Florida Statutes, is not available for this proceeding. This permit action is final and effective on the date filed with the clerk of the Department unless a petition is filed in accordance with the above. Upon the timely filing of a petition this permit will not be effective until further order of the Department. Any party to the permit has the right to seek judicial review of the permit action under Section 120.68, Florida Statutes, by the filing of a notice of appeal under Rules 9.110 and 9.190, Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, with the clerk of the Department in the Office of General Counsel, Mail Station 35, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida, 32399 3000; and by filing a copy of the notice of appeal accompanied by the applicable filing fees with the appropriate district court of appeal.

Upset Provisions. a. “Upset” means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology-based effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee. 14 Rick D. Hacht, President H & H Liquid Sludge Disposal, Inc PERMIT NUMBER: FLA801097-002 (1) An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, careless or improper operation. (2) An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of upset provisions of Rule 62-620.610, F.A.C., are met. b. A Permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (1) An upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; (2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; (3) The Permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Permit Condition IX. 20. of this permit; and (4) The Permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Permit Condition IX. 5. of this permit. c. In any enforcement proceeding, the burden of proof for establishing the occurrence of an upset rests with the Permittee. d. Before an enforcement proceeding is instituted, no representation made during the Department review of a claim that noncompliance was caused by an upset is final agency action subject to judicial review.

Dry tons = Wet tons x Percent Solids (decimal) Example: 40 wet tons of biosolids x 0.15 total solids = 6 dry tons of biosolids B. Dry tons = gallons of biosolids x 8.34 lb./gallon x ton/2000 lb. x Percent Solids (decimal) Example: 6,000 gallons of biosolids x 8.34 lb./gal x ton/2000 lb. x 0.04 total solids = 1 dry ton of biosolids C. Dry tons = cubic yards (wet) of biosolids x Y lb./cubic yard x ton/2000 lb. x Percent Solids (Y = site-specific bulk density of biosolids) Example: 20 cubic yards of biosolids at 15% total solids and 1800 lb./cubic yard; Dry tons = 20 cu yds. x 1800 lb./cu yds. x ton/2000 lb. x 0.15 total solids; Dry tons = 2.7 dry tons of biosolids D. Dry tons per acre = Dry tons applied//number of acres Example: 20 dry tons spread over 5 acres; 20 dry tons/5 acres = 4 dry tons/acre E. Pounds of nutrient per acre = Dry tons of biosolids applied per acre x 2000 lb./ton x Percent of nutrient concentration (decimal); Example: 4 dry tons of biosolids containing 5% nitrogen on a dry weight basis; 4 dry tons/acre x 2000 lb./ton x 0.05 nitrogen = 400 lbs./acre of nitrogen applied F. Pounds of metal per acre = Dry tons of biosolids applied per acre x metal concentration in mg/kg x 0.002 Example: 4 dry tons of biosolids x 6 mg/kg As dry weight x 0.002 = 0.0480 lbs. As/acre G.
