No change. (b) Soil Monitoring. 1. The site permittee shall ensure soil fertility testing is conducted in accordance with the NMP. The soil fertility testing and results shall be equivalent to the "Phosphorus Index Test" as conducted by the University of Florida (UF)/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) Extension Soil Testing Laboratory, and shall include the "Capacity Index" results for the soil. At a minimum, soil fertility testing shall provide: soil PH,• Mehlich- 3 extraction method results for phosphorus (P), aluminum (Al), and iron (Fe); calculated soil capacity index CI) following subsection 62-640.200(9), F.A.C.; and, lime requirement. Soil testing shall follow the procedures in the IFAS publications "Soil Testing," UF/IFAS Circular 239, September 2003, identified in paragraph 62- 640.210(1)(o), F.A.C., and "Extension Soil Testing Laboratory (ESTL) Analytical Procedure and Training Manual," UF/IFAS Circular 1248, February 2009, identified in paragraph 62-640.210(1)(p), F.A.C., which are hereby incorporated by reference. These documents are available from the Department of Environmental Protection, Domestic Wastewater Section, M.S. 3540, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400 or any of the Department's District Offices. To demonstrate the soil capacity index, soil fertility testing samples may be taken at depths greater than 6 inches but no deeper than the depth of the seasonal high water table. Soil fertility, t� may be performed by the Univerisity of Florida Analytical Research LaboratoUyTxtension Soil Testing Laboratory or other nyicultrual laboratory participating in the North American Proficiency Testing Program (NAPT). Results of soil fertility tests shall be included in the application site records. 2. Representative soil monitoring for parameters in subsection 62-640.700(5), F.A.C., shall be conducted at application sites for each application zone prior to application site permitting; yeept for- sites ,.. ly permitted f Class AA b .",suds. At a minimum, one soil sample shall be taken for each application zone or for every 50 acres of application area, whichever is smaller. Each sample shall be a composite of at least ten random samples to a depth of six inches and shall be completely mixed to form a minimum one -pound sample. Sampling and analysis shall be in accordance with 40 C.F.R. 503.8(4), which is hereby incorporated by reference. Results of initial soil monitoring shall be reported on the Biosolids Site Permit Application, Form 62-640.210(2)(d). (c) Ground Water Monitoring. 1. A ground water monitoring program shall be established by the site permittee, and approved by the Department for land application sites when the application rate in the NMP exceeds more than 1604081bs/acre/year of total plebe nitrogen or 40 lbs/acre/year of total P2O5 (i.e. more than 17.4 lbs/acre/year of total phosphorus), or when the soil capacity index is less than 0 mg/kg. When soil fertility testing indicates the soil capacity index has become less than 0 mg/kg, the permittee of a biosolids land application site shall establish a ground water monitoring program in accordance with subparagraph 62-640.650(3)(c)2. F.A.C. below within one year of the date of the sampling results. When ground water monitoring is not required the permittee shall allow the Department to install ground water monitoring wells at any time during the effective period of the Department - issued facility or land application site permit and conduct monitoring_ 133
