NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Governing Board issued an Order Granting Waiver under Section 120.542, Fla. Stat. (SFWMD 2007-010-DAO-ROW), on January 11, 2007, to Florida Turnpike Enterprises. The petition for waiver was received by the SFWMD on October 24, 2006. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the F.A.W., Vol. 32, No. 46, on November 17, 2006. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow an existing mast arm pole to remain within the District’s east right of way of C-1 at the southeast bridge quadrant of S. W. 216th Street and the Homestead Extension of the Florida’s Turnpike (HEFT); S17/T56S/R40E, Miami-Dade County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from subsections 40E-6.011(4) and (6), and paragraph 40E-6.221(2)(j), Fla. Admin. Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the District Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District, incorporated by reference in subsection 40E-6.091(1), Fla. Admin. Code, which governs the placement of above-ground permanent and/or semi-permanent structures within 40 feet of the top of the canal bank and within the District’s equipment staging areas located at all bridges and pile-supported utility crossings within Works or Lands of the District. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the waiver, as follows: 1) the facilities will not significantly interfere with the SFWMD’s ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation and maintenance activities; and 2) the Order granting a waiver from the subject rule would prevent Florida Turnpike Enterprises from suffering a substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order can be obtained from: Kathie Ruff, South Florida Water Management District, 3301 Gun Club Road, MSC 1410, West Palm Beach, FL 33406-4680, [phone], or by e-mail [e-mail].
