Permit renewals are considered a formality, i.e. a Public Hearing is not required, nor DRC or BZA review, unless the EPD Manager determines that there has been a substantial deviation from the terms and conditions of the permit. The EDP Manager has determined no substantial deviation. [Section (n)].
Wekiva Study Area provisions [Section (c)] do not apply to this legally existing C&D disposal facility prior to the effective date of May 1, 2009 [Section ].
There is no record, or history, of violations or non-compliance to Orange County Code Chapter 32 [Section (d)(5)].
We accept Orange County EPD’s recommendation for permit renewal approval.

11. Existing Wekiva Study Area Protections
Low Recharge Area – Site specific geologic studies found 70 to 100 feet of clayey sediments under the site to protect the Floridan Aquifer.
Natural site geology attenuates leakage through the waste as shown by 15 years of clean Groundwater Quality Tests.
Groundwater monitoring wells are tested every 6 months.
C&D wastes are not a nutrient concern.
Stormwater Management System of ponds exceeds Wekiva Pollution Abatement standards.
Soil Cover over the C&D reduces infiltration.
Ongoing Operational Best Management Practices.
Site will be a 220 acre open space or park at closure.
