4. Cost to any other state and local government of enforcing the proposed rule: <br />❑ None. This proposed rule will only affect the department. <br />® Minimal. (Provide a brief explanation). <br />I <br />One existing septage management facility and one biosolids land <br />application site are currently regulated by a delegated local program. <br />Although numerous small domestic wastewater treatment facilities are <br />regulated by delegated local programs, the proposed change should not <br />increase their enforcement costs, as biosolids disposal options are already <br />addressed in facility permits. If more biosolids are transported to landfills <br />or large biosolids treatment facilities producing Class AA biosolids, this <br />may actually reduce the costs for compliance review by the delegated local <br />programs for facilities choosing these biosolids management options over <br />land application. <br />❑ Other. (Please provide a reasonable explanation for the estimate used and methodology used for <br />deriving the estimate). <br />I <br />F. Good faith estimates (transactional costs) likely to be incurred by individuals and <br />entities, including local government entities, required to comply with the <br />requirements, of the proposed rule. (Includes filing fees, cost of obtaining a license, cost of equipment <br />required to be installed or used, cost of implementing processes and procedures, cost of modifying existing <br />processes and procedures, additional operating costs incurred, cost of monitoring, and cost of reporting, or any <br />other costs necessary to comply with the rule). <br />❑ None. This proposed rule will only affect the department. <br />M i n i m a l. (Provide a brief explanation). <br />i <br />® Other. (Please provide a reasonable explanation for the estimate used and methodology used for <br />deriving the estimate). <br />Continuing Land Application of Class B Biosolids <br />Note: It is unlikely that all of the approximately 90,000 dry tons of Class B <br />biosolids currently land applied in Florida will continue to be land applied. <br />Capital cost for permitting new land application sites: $10 million <br />• Using industry estimate of 400,000 additional acres necessary, <br />industry estimates $200 per acre, or a one-time cost of $80 million. <br />• Estimate of an average of $20,000 average cost per site to fulfill <br />permitting requirements. <br />• Estimate of 4 times the number of sites or 125 x 4 = 500 new sites or <br />$10 million. <br />Recurring costs <br />145 <br />
