The issue is whether Respondent Florida Power & Light Company is entitled to Permit No. 247895-007-UC for the conversion of an exploratory well to an injection well, the construction of a second injection well, and the operational testing of both wells, which are intended to inject industrial wastewater from a power plant into the Boulder Zone of the Upper Floridan Aquifer.Petitioners failed to prove standing to challenge the permit for deep well injection of industrial waste, but DEP should revise the permit to state the maximum pumping rate and procedure for handling and documenting the handling of hazardous waste.
