STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE OF DRAFT PERMIT

The Department of Environmental Protection gives notice of its preparation of a draft permit to the City of Fernandina Beach, John Mandrick, 1180 South 5th Street, Fernandina Beach, Florida 32034, for the Fernandina Beach WWTF. This permit authorizes the permittee to operate an existing 3.50 million gallons per day (MGD) annual average daily flow (AADF) permitted capacity domestic wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) consisting of an influent treatment unit, efflu- ent and sludge handling units, and two parallel treatment trains as follows: (1) a 2.50 MGD AADF permitted capacity oxidation ditch treatment train, and (2) a 1.00 MGD AADF permitted capacity contact stabilization treatment train. All of the raw wastewater from the influent pumping station is directed to a pretreat- ment unit and a flow splitter box for separation to the two treatment trains. The oxidation ditch treatment train consists of an aeration basin anoxic basin, a secondary clarifier, and a chlorine contact chamber. The contact stabilization treatment train consists of a contact tank, a return activated sludge stabilization tank, a secondary clarifier, and a chlorine contact chamber. The flows from the two treatment trains are combined in an effluent gravity sewer and directed to dechlorination equipment and a Parshall flume for flow measurement. The treated effluent is then discharged to the Amelia River. Waste activated sludge is treated in two aerobic digesters that operate in series. Treated residuals are dewatered with a rotary press and then hauled to Camden County Landfill for dis- posal. This permit also authorizes the removal of the contact stabilization treatment train from service, conversion of the stabilization tank into a third digester, and construction and operation a new 2.50 MGD AADF design capacity oxidation ditch treatment train. The facility is located at latitude 30° 39’32.68” N, lon- gitude 81° 27’50.66” W on 1007 South 5th Street, Fernandina Beach, Florida 32034-4011, in Nassau County.

Any interested person may submit written comments on the Department’s draft permit or may submit a written request for a public meeting to Malton Prifti, 7825 Baymeadows Way, Suite B200, Jacksonville, Florida 32256-7590, in accordance with Rule 62-620.555, Florida Administrative code. The comments or request for a public meeting must contain the information set forth below and must be received in the Department’s Northeast District Office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Failure to submit comments or request a public meeting within this time period shall constitute a waiver of any right such person may have to submit comments or request a public meeting under rule 62-620.555, Florida Administrative Code.

The comments or request for a public meeting must contain the following information: (a) The commenter’s name, address, and telephone number; the applicant’s name and address; the Department permit file number; and the county in which the project is proposed; (b) A statement of how and when notice of the Department’s action or proposed action was received; (c) A statement of the facts the Department should consider in making the final decision; (d) A statement of which rules or statutes require reversal or modification of the Department’s action or proposed action; and (e) If desired, a request that a public meeting be scheduled including a statement of the nature of the issues proposed to be raised at the meeting.

If a public meeting is scheduled, the public comment period is extended until the close of the public meeting. However, the Department may not always grant a request for a public meeting. Therefore, written comments should be submitted within 30 days of publication of this notice, even if a public meeting is request- ed.

If a public meeting is held, any person may submit oral or written statements and data at the public meeting on the Department’s proposed action. As a result of significant public comment, the Department’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this draft permit.

The permit application file and supporting data are available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at the Department’s Northeast District Office, 7825 Baymeadows Way, Suite B200 Jacksonville, Florida 32256-7590, or phone (904) 807-3300.
