1. C) secondary treatment with nitrification.

Per FAC 62-611.200(45), Definitions, “‘Treatment wetland’ means a wetland within the landward extent of waters of the state used to treat reclaimed water that has received secondary treatment with nitrification.”

2. A) 1 mg/L

Per FAC 62-611.200(25), Definitions, “‘Receiving wetland’ means a wetland within the landward extent of waters of the state used to receive reclaimed water that contain not more, on an annual average basis, than the following concentrations: 1. Carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand 5 mg/l; 2. Total suspended solids 5 mg/l; 3. Total nitrogen (as N) 3 mg/l; and, 4. Total phosphorus (as P) 1 mg/l.”

3. D) 14 days.

Per FAC 62-611.400(1), Specific Quantitative Design Criteria, “The minimum detention time of the reclaimed water within a treatment wetland shall be no less than 14 days unless the applicant can affirmatively demonstrate that a shorter detention time will provide the required level of water quality in the discharge from the treatment wetland. This minimum detention time shall be calculated on an annual basis by dividing the estimated volume of the treatment wetland by the sum of the design flow rates of reclaimed water and natural inflow to the treatment wetland.”

4. B) 2 mg/L

Per FAC 62-611.420(3), Discharge Limits to Treatment or Receiving Wetlands, “Reclaimed water discharged to a treatment or a receiving wetland must not exceed 2 milligrams per liter total ammonia (as N) as a monthly average.”

5. A) proper documentation of created or restored habitat is submitted.

Per FDEP’s Domestic Wastewater Wetlands as Reuse website, “ . . . manmade wetlands, as well as hydrologically altered wetlands, used for wastewater treatment can be considered reuse provided the proper documentation of created or restored habitat is submitted.”

6. D) Enhancement is not defined by the rules and is determined on a case-by-

case basis.

Per FDEP’s Domestic Wastewater Wetlands as Reuse website, “Other wetlands projects may also be considered reuse if it’s properly demonstrated that the application of reclaimed water will effectively “enhance” and continue to “enhance” the wetland. This “enhancement,” however, is not clearly defined by the rules and is determined on a case-by-case basis.”

7. D) With each permit renewal

Per FAC 62-610.810(4), “Wetlands creation, restoration, or enhancement projects shall be reviewed with each permit renewal. The applicant for permit renewal shall submit with the application for permit renewal documentation that the project continues to function as designed and that the wetlands creation, restoration, or enhancement aspects remain applicable.”

8. B) high-level disinfection is required.

Per FAC 62-611.600(6) “The applicant shall provide the department with reasonable assurances that public access to a treatment or receiving wetland shall be restricted unless high-level disinfection is provided. Such reasonable assurances may include, but shall not be limited to, posting of signs at regular intervals around the boundary of the treatment wetland and posting and gating all access roads to the treatment wetland, or similar restrictions.”

9. B) Vegetative Index

Per FDEP’s Wetland Evaluation and Delineation website, “The vegetative index (section 62-340.450 FAC), is used in the identification and delineation of wetlands within Florida. The use of plant species in the rule shall be consistent at all times with the indicator status of the species on the vegetative index. Plants on the vegetative index are specifically listed as obligate (OBL), facultative wet (FACW), and facultative (FAC).”

10. B) FDEP and the five water management districts

Per FDEP’s Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) Dredging and Filling website, “Any activity on or over wetlands and other surface waters (dredging and filling) is regulated by the department and five water management districts (Northwest Florida, Suwannee River, St. Johns River, Southwest Florida, and South Florida) through the environmental resources permitting program.”
