§ 931.08. Surficial aquifer primary recharge overlay district.

(1)

A surficial aquifer primary recharge overlay district (SAPROD) is hereby established overlaying the Atlantic Coastal Sand Ridge, as defined in Chapter 901. A map identifying the general boundaries of the SAPROD shall be on file in the Indian River County Community Development Department; specific boundaries of the SAPROD shall be identified by a boundary survey and verified on a site-by-site basis by county environmental planning staff.

(2)

Within the SAPROD, the following restrictions shall apply:

(a)

Any use which may be expected to generate waste which does not lend itself to conventional septic tank treatment as determined by the Indian River County Public Health Unit, Environmental Health Section (EHS), or any use which could result in a hazardous waste as defined in Federal Register 40 CFR 261, shall not be permitted unless a method to be used for nondomestic waste disposal is approved by the EHS; provided, however, that the establishment of auto salvage yards, junk yards, or landfills is prohibited in the SAPROD;

(b)

No excavation shall be allowed in association with project development within the SAPROD that results in an average elevation of less than twenty-five (25) feet mean sea level (MSL) for that portion of the project site located within the SAPROD, unless the project development falls within St. Johns River Water Management District's (SJRWMD) permitting threshold. Excavation falling within SJRWMD's permitting threshold shall conform to SJRWMD permitting requirements concerning depth of excavation and all other applicable SJRWMD permitting requirements;

(c)

No stormwater management facility shall be allowed to penetrate the groundwater table within the SAPROD (cross reference Chapter 930, Stormwater Management and Flood Protection).
