<br />**These letters correspond to the Class of pathogen reduction that is achieved by the biosolids treatment facility in accordance
<br />with subsection 62-640.600(1), F.A.C.
<br />***This category is for Class B liquid alkaline stabilization only.
<br />1. The operator classification requirements shall be in accordance with Chapter 62-699, F.A.C.
<br />2. Operator staffing requirements for facilities addressed in paragraph 62-640.880(2)(d), F.A.C., shall be
<br />established as the more stringent of either the requirements in Chapter 62-699, F.A.C., or the requirements in
<br />paragraph 62-640.880(2)0), F.A.C. For septage management facilities with a permitted capacity equivalent to
<br />10,000alg lons per day or less, the Class C operator requirements given in paragraph 62-640.880(2)(1), F.A.C. may

<br />equipment being used, working under the direction of a certified operator, shall be present at the biosolids treatment
<br />facility during loading and unloading operations and during other operating hours as recommended in the
<br />preliminary design report.
<br />4. If justified by the complexity of the treatment process, the Department shall require a higher classification,
<br />more frequent visits, or more hours per day. Requests to alter or decrease staffing requirements shall be made
<br />through a minor permit revision under Rule 62-620.325, F.A.C., and shall be based upon site-specific requirements,
<br />facility operation, risk to public health and the environment, and the presence of other trained personnel.
<br />(k) The biosolids treatment facility permittee shall be responsible for making the facilities safe in terms of
<br />public health and safety at all times, and shall notify the Department and all affected parties, in writing, at least 60
<br />days before ceasing operation in accordance with subsection 62-620.610(15), F.A.C.
