HJR 30-B-A joint resolution proposing an amendment to Sec-
tion 6 of Article VII and the creation of Section 20 of Article XII of
the State Constitution, relating to homestead tax exemptions.
Rep. Grant moved that HJR 30-B be admitted for introduction,
the Speaker having ruled the measure was outside the purview of
the Call.
Rep. Dunbar raised a point of order that the joint resolution
related to educational funding and was within the purview of the
Call. The Speaker stated that the joint resolution had no reference
to education and referred only to creating certain exemptions to the
homestead tax law. Therefore, he ruled the point not well taken
and the joint resolution outside the purview of the Call.

transportation to students in grades K-9 in a district with a mini-
mum of 200,000 unweighted FTE's and where the following haz-
ardous walking conditions are present:
(a) Walkways parallel to the road.-
1. It shall be considered a hazardous walking condition with
respect to any road along which students must walk in order to
walk to and from school if there is not an area at least 4 feet wide
adjacent to the road, having a surface upon which students may
walk without being required to walk on the road surface. In addi-
tion, whenever the road along which students must walk is un-
curbed and has a posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour, the area
as described above for students to walk upon shall be set off the
road by no less than 3 feet from the edge of the road.
2. The provisions of subparagraph 1 do not apply when the road
along which students must walk:
a. Is in a residential area which has little or no transient traffic;
b. is a road on which the volume of traffic is less than 180
vehicles per hour, per direction, during the time students walk to
and from school, unless the road contains an obstruction limiting the
existing visibility to less than the safe stopping distance; or
c. is located in a residential area and has a posted speed limit of
30 miles per hour or less.
(b) Walkways perpendicular to the road.-It shall be considered
a hazardous walking condition with respect to any road across
which students must walk in order to walk to and from school:
1. If the crossing site is uncontrolled and a traffic signal is
warranted pursuant to rules adopted by the Department of Transpor-
tation. For purposes of this subsection, an "uncontrolled crossing
site" is defined as an intersection or other designated crossing site
where no crossing guard, traffic enforcement officer, or stop sign or
other traffic control signal is present during the times students
walk to and from school.
2. If the rating index number for the crossing site as computed
from a rating index formula to be adopted by the State Board of
Education exceeds a level determined by the Board to be safe,
unless crossing guards or other traffic enforcement officers are also
present during the times students walk to and from school. The
crossing site rating index formula adopted by the State Board shall
take into account the number of children crossing at the site, the

number of lanes of roadway crossed, the speed limit of the road
crossed, and whether the crossing site is at an intersection or midblock.

(a) Four credits in English, with major concentration in compo-
sition and literature.
(b) Three credits in mathematics.
(c) Three credits in science, 2 of which must have a laboratory
component. The State Board of Education may grant an annual

and makes funding of this plan a priority objective of the school
board.

(e) One credit in world history.
(f) One-half credit in economics.
(g) One-half credit in American government.

grams to meet graduation requirements for exceptional students as
provided for in the district pupil progression plan, in accordance

(a) Mastery of the minimum performance standards in reading,
writing, and mathematics for the 11th grade, established pursuant
to ss. 229.565 and 229.57, determined in the manner prescribed
after a public hearing and consideration by the state board;
(b) Demonstrated ability to successfully apply basic skills to
everyday life situations as measured by a functional literacy exam-
ination developed and administered in a manner prescribed after a
public hearing and consideration by the state board;
(c) Completion of all other applicable requirements prescribed
by the district school board pursuant to s. 232.245; and
(d) Effective for the 1984-1985 school year and each year there-
after, a cumulative grade point average of 1.5 on a 4.0 scale, or its
equivalent, for nonelective required courses for graduation.
(4) No student shall be granted credit toward high school grad-
uation for enrollment in the following courses or programs:
(a) More than two elective credits in remedial programs as pro-
vided for in s. 236.0841 and compensatory and remedial programs

modifications thereto, shall be reprinted in the Florida Administra-
tive Code even though said standards are not defined as rules.
(6) The state board, after a public hearing and consideration,
shall make provision for appropriate modification of testing instru-
ments and procedures for students with identified handicaps or
disabilities in order to ensure that the results of the testing repre-
sent the student's achievement, rather than reflecting the student's
impaired sensory, manual, speaking, or psychological process skills,
except when such skills are the factors the test purports to measure.
(7) A student who meets all requirements prescribed in subsec-
tions (1), (2), and (3) shall be awarded a standard diploma in a form
prescribed by the state board; however, a school board may, in lieu
of the standard diploma, award differentiated diplomas to those
exceeding the prescribed minimums. A student who completes the
minimum number of credits and other requirements prescribed by
subsections (1) and (2), but who is unable to meet the standards of
paragraph (3) (a) or paragraph (3) (b), shall be awarded a certificate
of completion in a form prescribed by the state board. However, any
student who is otherwise entitled to a certificate of completion may
elect to remain in the secondary school on either a full-time or a
part-time basis for up to 1 additional year and receive special in-
struction designed to remedy his identified deficiencies. This spe-
cial instruction shall be funded from the district's state compensa-
tory education funds.
(8) The public hearing and consideration required in paragraphs
(a) and (b) of subsection (3) and in subsection (6) shall not be con-

Section 1. Findings of Fact and Declaration of Public Purpose:
(a) It is hereby declared that the following reasons justify the
exercise of the power of eminent domain of the state and constitute
a public use and purpose, and comprise an essential governmental
function and that the purposes of this act are in the public interest.
Hialeah Race Course, located in Hialeah, Florida has long been a
favorite tourist attraction, not only to the citizens of this state, but
citizens of other states; and Hialeah has over the years been the
scene of various motion pictures and has a substantial national
recognition in the field of thoroughbred horse racing.
(b) Hialeah has, since 1970, had three owners and has consis-
tently been before the Legislature of this State in an attempt to
gain greater profits in order to be able to continue to exist as an
entity in the free enterprise system; and it has become apparent
that any efforts of the State to make Hialeah a free enterprise,
profitable entity and to continue the existence of Hialeah as a
historic attraction are not possible without further expenditure of
State funds through reduction in taxes or through the visitation of
economic hardship on the rest of the thoroughbred industry.
(c) Hialeah is being condemned for the specific public purpose of
establishing Hialeah as a state park to enable the State to continue
to promote economic and commercial development of thoroughbred
racing in this State and to maintain the facilities located at Hia-
leah for future generations.
(d) The condemnation and use of Hialeah, the buildings and
parking facilities adjacent thereto is necessary in order that the
track remain as a historic corner stone of Florida racing and to
assist the entire thoroughbred industry in maintaining its attrac-
tiveness nationwide.
(e) It is in the public interest for the state to exercise its power
of eminent domain over Hialeah and condemnation proceedings
should be commenced as soon as possible; and the necessity therefore
is hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination.
Section 2. Condemnation of Hialeah Race Course authorized.-
The Department of Business Regulation shall file, pursuant to

49

June 16, 1983

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

chapter 73, Florida Statutes, condemnation proceedings against
Hialeah Race Course, located in Hialeah, Florida, and to retire the
Hialeah winter thoroughbred racing permit. Such filing shall be
done within 30 days of the effective date of this act.
Section 3. Section 550.081, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
550.081 Allocation of horseracing periods of operation.-
(1) When there are two three or more winter thoroughbred horse
racing permitholders located within a 35-mile radius of each other,
an annual winter thoroughbred racing season consisting of 46 164
racing days, exclusive of Sundays, is authorized. Each winter
permitholder is authorized to operate in at least one in y one of
the three periods of racing hereinafter set out, and all racing days
shall be run consecutively, except that no track shall be required to
operate more than 6 days per week and no permit may compete
against the other. Each racing period is established as follows:
(a) The first period shall consist of 54 &6 racing days. No charity
or scholarship racing days may be operated during the first period.
(b) The second period shall consist of 50 racing days. The
permitholder authorized to conduct the second period shall, as a
condition of being granted the second period, agree to operate up to
30 racing days at Hialeah Race Course in Hialeah, Florida, each
and every year, which racing days shall be designated as the "Hia-
leah racing meet" and shall include the running of the Flamingo
stake race and such other stake races of national merit as are feasi-
ble, and the permitholder shall be permitted to operate the remain-
ing racing days at the permitholder's own facility. No charity or
scholarship racing days may be operated during the second period.
(c) The third period shall commence upon the completion of the
second period and shall consist of 69 60 racing days. No charity or
"scholarship racing days may be operated during the third period.
The permitholder granted the second period shall also be entitled to
operate in either the first or third period and shall be assigned such
period based upon a finding of the Florida Pari-mutuel Commission
that the operation in either the first or third period is in the best
interest of state tax revenue and the permitholder. The remaining
period of operation shall be granted to the remaining permitholder.
In allocating the racing periods contained herein, the Florida
Pari-mutuel Commission shall require the second period of racing
set forth above to commence on January 8 of each year, and if
January 8 shall fall on a day when racing is not authorized, the
second period shall commence on the next authorized racing day.
The Florida Pari-mutuel Commission may authorize 6 charity days
for winter thoroughbred permitholders to be operated by the summer
thoroughbred permitholder during the summer thoroughbred racing
period in addition to its regular and other authorized charity days.
Such charity days shall be allocated on the basis of 3 days for each
permitholder. The proceeds shall be paid over to each winter permitholder
that was authorized to conduct winter thoroughbred racing during
the immediately preceding winter thoroughbred racing season. The
proceeds from the 6 charity days shall be paid over to each of the
winter thoroughbred permitholders on an equal basis for distribu-
tion to authorized charities in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter within 30 days after receipt by the winter thoroughbred
permitholders.

Florida Parim nutul Commission shall award the racing data to
"the permitholder authorized to conduct summer thoroughbred rac
ing, which per mitholder shall opeate the special acing period
except as provided in subsection (6).
(2) (&9 On or before January 4 of each year, each of the winter
thoroughbred horse race permitholders shall file in writing with
the Florida Pari-mutuel Commission its request for the racing peri-
ods the permitholder wishes to operate. On or before February 15 of
each year, the Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering shall, after a hearing
held pursuant to Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, at which findings of
fact and conclusions of law are prepared by the Florida Pari-mutuel
Commission, issue an annual license authorizing the permitholder
to conduct a race meeting during the periods granted by the Florida
Pari-mutuel Commission. In determining the award of racing dates,
the Florida Pari-mutuel Commission shall take into consideration
the ability of each permitholder to maximize tax revenue to the state,
along with the ability of each permitholder to attract quality thor-
oughbred horses and to offer quality racing; provided, however, that
no thoroughbred permit operated at a leased facility under the pro-
visions of s. 550.47 shall be entitled to operate the second period of
racing.
(3) (4) In the event any winter thoroughbred horse racing track
is prevented from operating any portion of the racing period allo-
cated to it as a result of prohibition of law or as a result of fire,
strike, or circumstances beyond the control of the track involved,
the track so prevented from operating shall be entitled to allocate
its unused days and dates to another winter thoroughbred horse
track permitholder located within a 35-mile radius of such track;
however, no such allocation shall change or alter any other annual
racing period already assigned. In the event the track so prevented
from operating is unable to allocate its unused days and dates
within 1 racing day after it becomes necessary, the Director of the
Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering is specifically authorized to so

Summary
Conference Committee Amendments To HB 47-B
"The Water Quality Assurance Act Of 1983"

PART I
DATA COLLECTION
This part directs the Department of Environmental Regulation to
be the central depository for scientific information generated by
groundwater research throughout the state. It further directs the
department to take the beginning steps to develop a computerized
groundwater data base based upon regions deemed prone to ground-
water contamination, regions that have an identifiable direct con-
nection with any confined aquifer used as a drinking water source
and any region dependent on a sole source aquifer for potable water.

PART II
GROUNDWATER MONITORING
This part directs the Department of Environmental Regulation to
establish a groundwater monitoring network throughout the state.
The monitoring wells which make up the groundwater monitoring
network shall be placed according to the susceptibility of each site
to contamination and to the degree of danger to public health
caused, or potentially caused, by contamination. Additionally, this
part directs the Department of Environmental Regulation to im-
plement a continuing inspection program for package sewage treat-
ment facilities.

PART III
WELLFIELD CONTAMINATION MITIGATION
This part directs the Department of Environmental Regulation to
coordinate with the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Ser-
vices to establish programs designed to prevent contamination or to
minimize the danger of contamination of potable water supplies. It
further directs the department to contract for clinical tests of sam-
ples of affected populations in situations where contaminants have
entered or are likely to enter public or private water supplies.

PART IV
ARTESIAN WELL PLUGGING
This part directs the state's five water management districts to
prepare inventories of all known abandoned artesian wells in their
districts and to prepare, and submit to the Department of Envi-
ronmental Regulation by January 1, 1984, a detailed work plan for
the plugging of these wells, including the priority of wells to be
plugged and data relating to costs and methodology for carrying out
the program. The part also contains a definition of an abandoned
artesian well. The program is seen as having two parts; the dis-
tricts will prepare plans during the first year and during the second

year the actual plugging and capping program will be funded from
the Water Quality Assurance Trust Fund.

PART V
PESTICIDES
This part repeals the existing Pesticide Technical Advisory Council
within the Department of Agriculture and creates a new, nine-
person Pesticide Review Council to review and comment upon re-
stricted use pesticides registered in Florida and restricted use pes-
ticides for which application for Florida registration has been made.
The new council consists of scientific representatives from the De-
partment of Environmental Regulation, the Department of Natural
Resources, the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services
and from the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. Other
members will be the state chemist, the Dean of Research at the
Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences of the University of
Florida, and, additionally, a hydrologist, a toxicologist and an inde-
pendent scientific research consultant with experience in both gov-
ernment and industry. The latter three members are to be appointed
by the Governor. The Council is charged with making recommen-
dations to the Commissioner of Agriculture as to the sale or use of
restricted use pesticides.
Additionally, this part gives the newly created Pesticide Review
Council standing under Chapter 120 in any proceeding relating to
pesticide registration and allows the Department of Environmental
Regulation to review and comment upon restricted use pesticides.
This part also creates within the Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services a Bureau of Product Data Evaluation to support
the Pesticide Review Council and contains language expressing the
legislative intent that a sound agricultural industry is an impor-
tant asset to Florida.

PART VI
HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
This lengthy section does the following:
-Imposes a 3% tax on the annual gross receipts of privately
owned commercial hazardous waste storage, treatment or disposal
facilities, such tax to accrue to the local government in whose
jurisdiction the facility is situate.
-Provides a program of local hazardous waste management as-
sessments whereby regional planning councils, or counties at their
option, shall identify small quantity hazardous waste generators
within their jurisdiction and administer a program of notification
to such generators, informing these generators of methods of ap-
propriate disposal of hazardous wastes.
-Directs regional planning councils to designate one or more
sites within their jurisdictions at which a regional hazardous waste
storage or treatment facility could be constructed.
-Creates a program known as "Amnesty Days" to create public
awareness of the need for proper disposal of hazardous waste by
directing DER to contract with a waste handling company to collect
from small quantity hazardous waste generators small amounts of
waste, free of charge.
-Establishes the Governor and Cabinet as the appellate body to
decide disputed hazardous waste facility siting issues.
-Directs the Environmental Regulation Commission to desig-
nate a site for a multi-purpose hazardous waste facility.
-Prohibits hazardous waste landfills in Florida except upon the
declaration of a hazardous waste management emergency by the
Governor.

PART VII
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM
This part provides a mechanism whereby the Department of En-
vironmental Regulation shall be the lead agency for interdepart-

mental coordination of emergency efforts to combat water pollu-
tion, hazardous waste spills and other environmental and health
emergencies not specifically designated within other statutes. This

76

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

effort is to be funded from the Water Quality Assurance Trust
Fund.

PART VIII
ONSITE SEWAGE DISPOSAL
This part creates new and more stringent regulations of septic
tank installations, statewide. In subdivisions with one-half acre
lots and private potable well systems, septic tanks can be used if
the average daily sewage flow does not exceed 1,500 gallons per
acre per day. In subdivisions with one-quarter acre lots and a public
water system, septic tanks can be used if the average daily sewage
flow does not exceed 2,500 gallons per acre per day.
This part also establishes septic tank setbacks of 75' from private
drinking water wells, 200' from public wells and 75' from surface
waters. For lots platted prior to 1972, it establishes a 50' minimum
surface water setback and an exemption from size requirements
provided that sewage flows do not exceed 2,500 gallons per acre per
day for lots with public water systems and 1,500 gallons per acre
per day for lots with private wells.
It also establishes a variance procedure and creates an Advisory
Review Variance Board to hear applications for variances. This
part also provides additional fees for septic tank permits, to be used
for permitting, site evaluations, septic tank research and providing
a means to accelerate the soil survey program currently underway
in the Department of Agriculture.

PART IX
SEWAGE TREATMENT
This part provides grants to sewage treatment facilities in both
large and small communities throughout Florida. It is funded, at
$100,000,000 from funds obtained from the accelerated sales tax
collection program. Forty-five percent of the funds so obtained will
be directed to the Small Communities Sewage Grant Program.
Small Communities are defined as those with 35,000 population or
under and the per project cap for such communities is $3,000,000.
The interest on the $100,000,000 in this fund-estimated to be
about $8.1 million-will be transferred to the Water Quality Assur-
ance Trust Fund.

PART X
ENVIRONMENTAL REORGANIZATION
This omnibus part expands the delegation of powers from the
Department of Environmental Regulation to water management
districts, co-locates certain Department of Environmental Regula-
tion and water management district offices within the state, redefines
and clarifies the review powers of the Land and Water Adjudicatory
Commission.

PART XI
POLLUTANT SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTROL
This part creates the Water Quality Assurance Trust Fund (to be
made up of $11,000,000 from the Coastal Protection Trust Fund,
$8.1 million from the interest on the accelerated sales tax program
and half the interest, annually, on the Coastal Protection Trust
Fund).
The trust fund created in this part is intended to fund the entire
Water Quality Assurance Act of 1983 for the 1983/84 Fiscal Year,
including the on-going Department of Environmental Regulation
programs described earlier in the act and the clean-up of superfund
and state uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, in addition to a num-
ber of other functions described in the fiscal breakdown which
accompanies this summary.
The Water Quality Assurance Trust Fund has a cap of $12,000,000
and a bottom-end trigger of $3,000,000; when the fund falls below
that latter figure a 2 per barrel tax on pollutants, including oil of

any kind and in any form, gasoline, pesticides, ammonia, chlorine
and derivatives thereof is triggered and will be collected until the
fund once again reaches $12,000,000.

This part also empowers the Department of Environmental Reg-
ulation to adopt rules regulating above-ground and below-ground
storage tanks and to create a program for inspecting these tanks.

PART XII
EMINENT DOMAIN
This part provides that information as to the acquisition of land
for public water supply or rights of way by an applicant for a
consumptive use permit shall not be admissable in an administra-
tive or judicial consumptive use permit application hearing.
(Legislative intent language for Section 373.115 [Eminent Domain]:
It is the express intent of the Legislature that by enacting a new
section 373.115, Florida Statutes, which prohibits the admission of
evidence relating to the prior acquisition of land or rights of way in
any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to consumptive
use permitting under Chapter 373, Florida Statutes, that only evi-
dence specifically relating to the fact, date and price of acquisition
will be inadmissible. Any evidence relating to the history and type
of water uses, prior consumptive use permits, the needs of the
population served by the source of water, consequences of terminat-
ing or reducing the use of water, existing uses, and the cost of

Section 24. Subsections (9) and (10) of section 403.722, Florida
Statutes, 1982 Supplement, are amended to read:

(9) The depatnr t shall press permit applic ation pusunt
to- 120.690. It shall not be a requirement for the issuance of such a
permit that the facility complies with an adopted local government
comprehensive plan, local land use ordinances, zoning ordinances
or regulations, or other local ordinances. However, such a permit
issued by the department shall not override such adopted local
government comprehensive plans, local land use ordinances, zoning
ordinances or regulations, or other local ordinances.
(10) Notwithstanding ss. 120.60 (2) and 403.815--
(a) The time specified by law for permit review shall be tolled by
the request of the department for publication of notice of proposed
agency action to issue a permit for a hazardous waste treatment,
storage, or disposal facility and shall resume 45 days after receipt
by the department of proof of publication. If, within 45 days after
publication of the notice of the proposed agency action, the depart-
ment receives written notice of opposition to the intention of the
agency to issue such permit and receives a request for a hearing,
the department shall provide for a hearing pursuant to s. 120.57, if
requested by a substantially affected party, or an informal public
meeting, if requested by any other person. Failure to request a
hearing within 45 days after publication of the notice of the pro-
posed agency action shall constitute a waiver of the right to a
hearing under s. 120.57. The permit review time period shall con-
tinue to be tolled until the completion of such hearing or meeting
and shall resume within 15 days after conclusion of a public hearing
held on the application, or within 45 days after the recommended
order is submitted to the agency and the parties, whichever is later
and shall resume pursuant to the ti p a tlli pvi
ions off 120.60.
(b) Within 60 days after receipt of an application for a hazardous
waste facility permit, the department shall examine the application,
notify the applicant of any apparent errors or omissions and request
any additional information the department is permitted by law to
require. Failure to correct an error or omission or to supply addi-
tional information shall not be grounds for denial of the permit
unless the department timely notified the applicant within the 60-day
period, except that this paragraph shall not prevent the department
from denying an application if it does not possess sufficient informa-
tion to ensure that the facility is in compliance with applicable
statutes and rules.
(c) The department shall approve or deny every hazardous waste
facility permit within 135 days after receipt of the original applica-
tion or after receipt of the requested additional information or correc-
tion of errors or omissions. However, failure of the department to
approve or deny within the 135-day time period shall not result in
the automatic approval or denial of the permit and shall not prevent
the inclusion of specific permit conditions which are necessary to
ensure compliance with applicable statutes and rules. If the depart-
ment fails to approve or deny the permit within the 135-day period,
the applicant may petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the
department to act consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.
Section 25. Section 403.7225, Florida Statutes, is created to

agement of hazardous materials, substances or wastes in conjunc-
tion with guidelines developed by the department.
(3) Each such agency shall develop plans for spill prevention
control and countermeasures for hazardous materials incidents.
Section 37. Siting of a multipurpose hazardous waste facility
by the state.-
(1) The Legislature recognizes the need for a multipurpose facil-
ity in the state in order to properly manage Florida's hazardous
waste. For the purposes of this section, a "multipurpose hazardous
waste facility" means a hazardous waste management facility which
stores or treats hazardous waste. Therefore, the following proce-
dure shall be used to provide a coordinated effort to site this facility
in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

state. Such criteria shall be designed to prevent any significant
adverse transportation, land use, and economic impacts resulting
from the location or operation of this hazardous waste facility and
shall be based on the identified needs in the state. The department
shall also develop a list of potential state hazardous waste facility
sites. The department shall seek information from interested per-
sons, including the waste management industry, in order to prop-
erly develop and adopt the criteria.
(3) Upon development of siting criteria and a site list by the
department as described in subsection (2), such criteria shall be
sent to known qualified hazardous waste facility owners or opera-
tors in the nation with an inquiry relative to their interest in
operating a multipurpose facility in the state. Those interested
parties shall be requested to participate by selecting sites on which
they would propose to locate and operate a facility in the state,
and submitting those sites to the department for consideration.
(4) As expeditiously as possible, the Environmental Regulation
Commission shall adopt, pursuant to the provisions of chapter 120,
Florida Statutes, a site designation for a multipurpose hazardous
waste facility in accordance with the siting criteria developed pur-
suant to subsections (2) and (3). Preference shall be given by the
commission to publicly owned land which meets the criteria estab-
lished pursuant to subsections (2) and (3).
(5) It is the intent of the Legislature that contracts for the
necessary construction and operation of the hazardous waste facil-
ity shall be entered into expeditiously.
(6) The commission shall select a contractor to build and operate
the facility. Within 6 months of this selection, such contractor shall
file an application with the department pursuant to s. 403.722,
Florida Statutes. If the contractor is denied a permit by the de-
partment, the commission, by a majority vote of the quorum pres-
ent shall select another contractor within 30 days of the denial.
This process shall continue until a contractor is granted a permit by
the department for the construction and operation of a multipur-
pose hazardous waste facility.
(7) If a contractor is granted a permit for the construction and
operation of a multipurpose hazardous waste facility, such con-
ractor may begin construction immediately.
(8) In order to pay the cost for the construction of a multipur-
pose hazardous waste facility, state bonds may be issued pursuant
to s. 403.1834, Florida Statutes.
Section 38. Prohibition of hazardous waste landfills.-
(1) As used in this section, "hazardous waste landfill" means a
disposal facility or part of a facility at which hazardous waste is
placed in or on land, including an injection well, and which is not a
land treatment facility.
(2) The Legislature declares that, due to the permeability of the
soil and highwater table in Florida, future hazardous waste land-
fills shall be prohibited. Therefore, the Department of Environmen-
tal Regulation shall not issue a permit pursuant to s. 403.722,
Florida Statutes, for a newly constructed hazardous waste landfill.
However, if by executive order the Governor declares a hazardous
waste management emergency, the department may issue a permit
for a temporary hazardous waste landfill. Any such landfill shall be
used only until such time as an appropriate alternative disposal
method can be derived and implemented. In no event shall such a
permit be issued for a period exceeding 6 months without a further
declaration from the Governor.

381.272 Onsite sewage disposal systems; installations; conditions.-
(1) The Legislature declares that it is the policy of this state to
require that all onsite sewage disposal systems, except approved
onsite graywater systems, developed under the provisions of this
act connect to a publicly owned or investor-owned sewerage system
within 365 days after notification that such a system is available.
Where a publicly owned or investor-owned sewerage system is not
available, the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services
may issue permits for the construction or installation of onsite
sewage disposal systems under conditions as described in this sec-
tion. Provision shall be made, such as the inclusion of sewer utility
easements and rights-of-way in a subdivision, to assure the even-
tual construction and utilization of a sewerage system in said sub-
division. The developer of any lot that is developed under the pro-
visions of this section shall provide advance notice of this requirement
to the purchaser of such lot.
(2) Subdivisions and lots where each lot has a minimum area of
at least one-half acre and either a minimum dimension of 100 feet
or a mean of at least 100 feet of the side bordering the street and
the distance formed by a line parallel to the side bordering the
street drawn between the two most distant points of the remainder
of the lot may be developed with a private potable well and onsite
sewage disposal system, provided the projected daily domestic sew-
age flow does not exceed an average of 1,500 gallons per acre per
day, and provided satisfactory drinking water can be obtained and
all distance and setback, soil condition, water table elevation, and
other related requirements of this section and rules promulgated
hereunder can be met.
(3) Subdivisions and lots with a public water system may utilize
onsite sewage disposal systems, provided there are no more than
four lots per acre, provided the projected daily domestic sewage flow
does not exceed an average of 2,500 gallons per acre per day, and
provided that all distance and setback, soil condition, water table
elevation, and other related requirements which are generally ap-
plicable to the use of onsite sewage disposal systems are met.

where a developer or other appropriate entity has previously made
or makes provisions, including financial assurances or other com-
mitments, acceptable to the Department of Health and Rehabilita-
tive Services, that a central water system will be installed by a
regulated public utility based on a density formula, then private

potable wells may be used on a temporary basis with onsite sewage
disposal systems until the agreed upon densities are reached. In

(b) Two hundred feet from a public potable well.
(c) Seventy-five feet from surface waters.
(7) All provisions of this section and rules promulgated hereun-
der relating to soil condition, water table elevation, distance, and
other setback requirements shall be equally applied to all lots
regardless of the date of platting. However, lots platted prior to
1972 shall be subject to a 50 foot minimum surface water setback
and shall not be subject to lot size requirements. The projected daily
flow for domestic on site sewage disposal systems for lots platted
before 1972 shall not exceed:
(a) 2,500 gallons per acre per day for lots served by public water
systems.
(b) 1,500 gallons per acre per day for lots served by private
wells.
(8) The Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services may
grant variances in hardship cases which may be less restrictive
than the provisions specified in this section. No variance shall be
granted pursuant to this section until the Department of Health
and Rehabilitative Services is satisfied that:
(a) The hardship was not caused intentionally by the action of
the applicant;
(b) No reasonable alternative exists for the treatment of the
sewage; and
(c) Discharge from the individual sewage disposal system will
not adversely affect the health of the applicant or other members of
the public or significantly degrade the ground or surface waters.
Where soil conditions, water table elevation, and setback provi-
sions are determined by the department to be satisfactory, special
consideration shall be given to those lots platted prior to 1972. The
department shall appoint an advisory review variance board which
shall meet monthly to recommend agency action on variance re-
quests. The board shall be comprised of the following:
1. A representative from the Department of Health and Reha-

system in areas zoned for industrial or manufacturing use, or its
equivalent, where possible use is to dispose of toxic or hazardous

chemicals. Where business enterprises currently use onsite sewage
disposal systems to dispose of toxic or hazardous chemicals, alter-

native disposal systems shall be used within 3 years of the enact-
ment of this act.
(11) (a) As used in this subsection:
1. "Blackwater" means all residential waste carried off by toi-
let and kitchen drains and sewers.
2. "Graywater" means all residential waste not described in
subparagraph 1. and includes bath, lavatory, sink (but not kitchen
sink), and laundry wastes.
3. "Individual graywater disposal system" means a system of
piping, a tank or treatment device, and a subsurface absorption bed
or drainfield for handling and treating graywater where blackwa-
ter is treated by a central sewerage system.

istrative Code, governing the installation of individual sewage dis-
posal facilities, shall apply for installation of individual graywater
disposal systems except for the following:
1. The required septic tank or interceptor shall not be less than
250 gallons in capacity.
2. The required drainfield or absorption bed shall not be less
than 100 square feet in area.
(12) With respect to the installation of experimental onsite sew-
age disposal systems, the department is authorized to issue a tem-
porary permit, provided the permitholder maintains such monitor-
ing equipment and makes and files such records and reports as the
department deems necessary to evaluate the effect of such systems
on public health and receiving waters. The department may issue
permanent permits when it is satisfied the systems do not pose a
health hazard.
(13) For those parts of any Florida county in which more than
60 percent of the surface and subsurface soils consist of Key Largo
limestone and to those islands in the state in which more than 60
percent of the surface and subsurface soils consist of Miami lime-
stone, the department shall promulgate a special rule authorizing
the installation of onsite sewage treatment systems which take into
consideration these unique soil conditions and which consider water
table elevations, densities and setback requirements. Until such
time as a rule to address the provisions of this subsection is prom-
ulgated by the department, all department rules regarding septic
tanks as they now exist shall apply to the areas described herein.
Section 44. Section 381.273, Florida Statutes, is created to read:
381.273 Fees.-The Department of Health and Rehabilitative Ser-
vices is authorized to collect fees for services provided under this

liquid pollutants transferred to or from the registrant.
(b) The excise tax shall be 2 cents per barrel transferred until
the balance in the fund equals or exceeds $30 $86 million. The
fiscal year immediately following the year in which the balance in
the fund equals or exceeds $30 $8W million, no excise tax shall be
levied unless:

year immediately following the year in which the fund again is
equal to or exceeds $30 $86 million, the excise tax and fund shall be
controlled as when the fund first was equal to or exceeded $30 $8
million.
2. There is a discharge of catastrophic proportions, the results of
which could significantly reduce the balance in the fund. In the
event of such a catastrophic occurrence, the Governor and Cabinet
as the head of the Department of Natural Resources may, by rule,
relevy the excise tax in an amount not to exceed 10 cents per barrel
for a period of time sufficient to maintain the fund at a balance of
$30 $86 million, after payment of the costs and damages related to
the catastrophic discharge.
3. The fund is unable to pay any proven claims against the fund
at the end of the fiscal year. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this section, the fiscal year following the year in which the fund is
unable to pay any proven claims against the fund at the end of the
fiscal year, the excise tax shall be and shall remain 5 cents per
barrel transferred until all outstanding proven claims have been
paid and the fund again equals or exceeds $10 million. The fiscal
year immediately following the year in which the fund, after levy of
the 5-cent excise tax, again is equal to or exceeds $10 million, the
excise tax and fund shall be controlled in accordance with subpara-
graph 1., unless otherwise provided.

(a) The storage of pollutants within the jurisdiction of the state
and state inland waters is a hazardous undertaking;
(b) Spills, discharges, and escapes of pollutants occurring as a
result of procedures taken by private and government entities involv-
ing the storage of such products pose threats of great danger and
damage to the environment of the state, to citizens of the state and
other interests deriving livelihood from the state;

cise the police power of the state by conferring upon the department
the power to:
(a) Deal with the hazards and threats of danger and damage
posed by such storage and related activities;

casioned thereby; and
(c) Establish a fund to provide for the inspection and supervision
of such activities and guarantee the prompt payment of reasonable
damage claims resulting therefrom.
(4) The Legislature further finds and declares that the preserva-
tion of surface and groundwater quality is of prime public interest
and concern to the state in promoting its general welfare, preventing
diseases, promoting health, and providing for the public safety and
that the state's interest in such preservation outweighs any burdens
of liability imposed by the Legislature upon those engaged in storing
pollutants and related activities.

part to support and complement applicable provisions of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, as amended; specifically those provi-
