Enclosed is Permit Number FLA011068 to operate a domestic wastewater facility issued under
Section(s)403.087 and 403.0885 of the Florida Statutes.
Monitoring requirements under this permit are effective on May 1, 2017. Until such time, the
permittee shall continue to monitor and report in accordance with previously effective pen-nit requirements.
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 of the Florida Statutes before the deadline
for filing a petition. 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 (bearing) under sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the 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.
Petitions by the applicant or any of the parties listed below must be filed within fourteen days of receipt
of this written notice. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under section
120.60(3) of the 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) of the 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 the appropriate time period shall constitute
a waiver of that person's right to request an administrative determination(hearing)under sections 120.569
and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes. Any subsequent intervention(in a proceeding initiated 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 of the Florida Administrative Code.
www.dep.state.fl,us
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

A petition that does not dispute the material facts on which the Department's action is based shall state
that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as
required by rule 28-106.301.
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 of the Florida Statutes is not available for this proceeding.
This action is final 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 order will not be effective until further
order of the Department.
Any party to the order has the right to seek judicial review of the order under section 120.68 of the
Florida Statutes, by the filing of a notice of appeal under rule 9.110 of the 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

This permit is issued under the provisions of Chapter 403,Florida Statutes(FS.),and applicable rules of the Florida
Administrative Code(F.A.C.). This permit does not constitute authorization to discharge wastewater other than as expressly
stated in this permit. The above named permittee is hereby authorized to operate the facilities in accordance with the
documents attached hereto and specifically described as follows:
WASTEWATER TREATMENT:
An existing 2.012 MGD annual average daily flow(AADF)permitted capacity contact stabilization domestic wastewater
treatment plant consisting of flow equalization,influent screening,contact and re-aeration,secondary clarification,filtration,
chlorination,aerobic digestion and dewatering of residuals(vacuum assisted and sand drying beds).
REUSE OR DISPOSAL:
Land Application R-001:An existing 2.012 MGD AADF permitted capacity slow-rate public access system. R-001 is a
reuse system which consists of a 3.0 MG reclaimed water storage tank, a 5.61 MG lined reject/wet weather storage pond,a
40 acre restricted access sprayfield(the Oak Forest Spray Field)having a capacity of 0.201 MGD AADF,a 6.8 acre restricted
access rapid infiltration basins(RIB)having a capacity of 0.610 MGD AADF,and public access irrigation within the
permitted reuse service area,to the major users identified in Condition W of this permit,with a permitted capacity of 1.720
MGD. Because a common transmission main is used for the reuse sites,the public access effluent limitations apply to
all of the land application sites.
The existing supplemental supply well at the golf course,which discharges into the existing reclaimed water storage tank,
may be used to augment the supply of reclaimed water,
IN ACCORDANCE WITH: The limitations,monitoring requirements,and other conditions set forth in this cover sheet and
Part I through Part IX on pages 1 through 22 of this permit.
