(1) Applicants for a wastewater permit shall demonstrate sufficient disposal or reuse capacity to satisfy the demand during the term of the permit. Permit applications for a treatment facility may be made separately or in conjunction with applications for effluent disposal or reclaimed water reuse systems.
(2) Permitted Capacity.
(a) The permittee shall establish design capacities for the wastewater facilities, including capacities for all treatment, reuse, or disposal options, in the permit application and shall specify the associated time frames (e.g., annual average daily flow, monthly average daily flow, three-month average daily flow). The time frames selected shall reflect seasonal variations in flows, if any.
(b) The Department shall include the permitted capacities in the facility permit and shall specify the associated time frames (e.g., annual average daily flow, monthly average daily flow, three month average daily flow). The permitted capacities shall not exceed the design capacities. The Department shall establish a permitted capacity less than the design capacity if:
1. The total available reuse and disposal permitted capacity is less than the treatment facility design capacity, or
2. The preliminary design or engineering report does not provide reasonable assurances that the proposed wastewater facility technology will function as intended at the design capacity requested by the permittee.
(c) The permitted capacities for the treatment, reuse, and disposal systems are not required to be the same.
(3) Classification of Projects as “”Reuse”” or “”Disposal.”” All domestic wastewater permits issued by the Department shall include designation of each portion of the project as either “”reuse”” or “”effluent disposal”” and shall list the permitted capacity associated with each portion of the project.
(4) Public utilities or their affiliated companies shall submit annual reports regarding transactions or allocations of common costs and expenditures on pollution mitigation and prevention among the utility’s permitted wastewater systems, including the prevention of sanitary sewer overflows, collection and transmission system pipe leakages, and inflow and infiltration. This report may be combined with the annual report requirement in Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-600.705(2)(b) The annual report shall be submitted electronically to the applicable district office or delegated local program no later than June 30 of the year following the close of the fiscal year covered by the report.

(a) The permittee shall establish design capacities for the wastewater facilities, including capacities for all treatment, reuse, or disposal options, in the permit application and shall specify the associated time frames (e.g., annual average daily flow, monthly average daily flow, three-month average daily flow). The time frames selected shall reflect seasonal variations in flows, if any.
(b) The Department shall include the permitted capacities in the facility permit and shall specify the associated time frames (e.g., annual average daily flow, monthly average daily flow, three month average daily flow).
