| | |
| | DISCHARGE OF THE SHOWER WOULD BE ALLOWED IF A CURB IS |
| | PLACED AROUND THE SHOWER FLOOR AREA OR SLOPED WHERE |
| | CHLORINATED POOL WATER MAY NOT ENTER. ALSO DRAIN WOULD |
| | HAVE DISPLAY A SIGN POSTED THAT THE DRAIN DRAINS TO THE |
| | LAKE WORTH LAGOON (INTERCOASTAL WATERWAY), NO DUMPING |
| | OR USE OF CONTAMINANTS, SOAPS, ETC. |
| | |
| | DECHLORINATED SWIMMING POOL DISCHARGES ARE AUTHORIZED |
| | IN FLORIDA IN ACCORDANCE WITH 62-624.200(2)(Q), F.A.C.; |
| | PROVIDED THAT THEY DO NOT CAUSE A VIOLATION OF WATER |
| | QUALITY STANDARDS." |
| | SUBSECTION 62-302.530(19), FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE |
| | (F.A.C.) LIMITS THE DISCHARGE OF CHLORINE TO SURFACE |
| | WATER BODIES TO < 0.01 MILLIGRAM PER LITER (MG/L). |
| | IN ADDITION, TURBIDITY ASSOCIATED WITH BACKWASHING AND |
| | CLEANING CAN ALSO VIOLATE SURFACE WATER QUALITY |
| | STANDARDS THEREFORE POOL DISCHARGES MUST BE CONTROLLED |
| | AND PROGRAMMED. |
| | FOR REFERENCE PLEASE KNOW THAT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT |
| | OF HEALTH REGULATES PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS AND BATHING |
| | PLACES. SUBSECTION 64E-9.007 (15) ?POOL WASTE WATER |
| | DISPOSAL? STATES IN PART: ?POOL WASTE WATER SHALL BE |
| | DISCHARGED THROUGH AN AIR GAP; DISPOSAL SHALL BE TO |
| | SANITARY SEWERS, STORM SEWERS, DRAINFIELDS, OR BY OTHER |
| | MEANS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL MUNICIPAL AND BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING OBTAINING ALL NECESSARY |
| | PERMITS.? |
| | |
| | GUIDANCE: |
| | TO HELP PROTECT FLORIDA?S ENVIRONMENT, THE FOLLOWING |
| | BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHEN |
| | DRAINING SWIMMING POOLS OR DISCHARGING FILTER BACKWASH |
| | INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. |
| | ONLY DRAIN YOUR POOL WHEN NECESSARY. AVOID |
| | DRAINING/BACKWASHING YOUR POOL DURING PERIODS OF |
| | DROUGHT AND DURING SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL EVENTS. DO NOT |
| | DRAIN YOUR POOL WHEN WATERING RESTRICTIONS ARE IN |
| | PLACE. |
| | BEFORE DRAINING YOUR POOL, ALLOW THE WATER TO STAND FOR |
| | AT LEAST 48 HOURS AFTER THE LAST ADDITION OF CHLORINE |
| | OR UNTIL THE FREE CHLORINE RESIDUAL IS < 0.01 MG/L. (IF |
| | YOU NEED TO DRAIN YOUR POOL QUICKLY, YOU CAN PURCHASE |
| | CHLORINE-NEUTRALIZING CHEMICALS SUCH AS SODIUM |
| | THIOSULFATE AT YOUR LOCAL POOL SUPPLY COMPANY.) |
| | TEST THE FREE CHLORINE RESIDUAL BEFORE DISCHARGING. A |
| | FREE CHLORINE RESIDUAL SHOULD NOT BE DETECTED. THE |
| | CHLORINE RESIDUAL CAN BE TESTED USING A STANDARD POOL |
| | TEST KIT. (REFER TO 64E-9.004 (11), F.A.C. FOR |
| | ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.) |
| | THE WATER SHOULD BE CLEAR AND FREE OF SOLIDS. |
| | THE PH MUST BE BETWEEN 6.5 AND 8.5 BEFORE IT IS |
| | DISCHARGED. |
| | ALGAECIDES CONTAINING COPPER OR SILVER CAN INTERRUPT |
| | NORMAL ALGAL AND PLANT GROWTH IN SURFACE WATER BODIES |
| | AND SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION. FOLLOW THE |
| | MANUFACTURER?S INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DISCHARGING WATER |
| | THAT HAS HAD AN ALGAECIDE ADDED RECENTLY. |
| | CONTROL THE RATE OF DISCHARGE ACROSS YOUR PROPERTY TO |
| | AVOID EROSION AND NUISANCE CONDITIONS FOR NEIGHBORING |
| | PROPERTIES. NUISANCE CONDITIONS SUCH AS THE CREATION OF |
| | ODORS, MOSQUITO BREEDING CONDITIONS, OR FLOODING CAN |
| | OCCUR WHEN WATER IS PONDED FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD. |
| | DIRECT THE DISCHARGE OVER A VEGETATED SURFACE SO THAT |
| | SOME LEVEL OF FILTRATION CAN OCCUR. |
| | DO NOT DISCHARGE ON AREAS RECENTLY TREATED WITH |
| | HERBICIDES OR PESTICIDES. |
| | |
| | GUIDANCE IF DISPOSING TO CITY SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM: |
| | POOL AND SPA WASTEWATER SHOULD NOT BE DISCHARGED INTO |
| | THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE |
| | WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY. |
| | AVOID DISCHARGING TO THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM DURING |
| | OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL EVENT." |
