The Department of Environmental Protection received on April 25, 2006, a request for withdrawal of a petition for variance from Biomanagement Services, Inc. The original variance petition was filed March 23, 2006. Notice of receipt of this petition was published on the DEP Internet site, on April 14, 2006. No public comment was received. The petition had requested a variance from the zone of discharge prohibition for discharges through wells under rule 62-522.300(3), F.A.C., for the use of BIOX to clean up sites that are contaminated with organic compounds.
On April 19, 2006, the Department sent a letter to the petitioner stating that as allowed by rule 62-522.300(2)(c), F.A.C., a variance was not needed since the parameter for which the variance was requested was a prime constituent of the reagent to be used for the remediation.
