Treatment Wetlands in Florida

William F. DeBusk


Opening Paragraph:
Constructed and natural wetlands have become an increasingly attractive alternative for wastewater treatment in Florida (Table 1 ). Wetland systems for treatment of domestic wastewater are regulated under the Wetland Application Rule, Chapter 62-611, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C). This rule controls the quality and quantity of wastewater that can be discharged to wetlands, and the quality of water discharged from wetlands to contiguous surface waters. It also establishes permitting procedures and monitoring requirements for wastewater discharges to wetlands. The wastewater to wetlands rule recognizes four distinct types of wetland treatment systems: natural receiving wetlands, natural treatment wetlands, hydrologically-altered treatment wetlands, and constructed (or "man-made") wetlands.
