(d) The total quantity of licensed radioactive material that the licensee releases into the sanitary sewerage in a year does not exceed 5 curies (185 gigabecquerels) of hydrogen 3, 1 curie (37 gigabecquerels) of carbon 14, and 1 curie (37 gigabecquerels) of all other radioactive materials combined.

(2) Excreta from individuals undergoing medical diagnosis or therapy with radioactive material are not subject to the limitations contained in subsection 64E-5.330(1), F.A.C.
