    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on November 20, 2009, the Department of Environmental Protection’s Northwest District has issued an order.
    On September 16, 2009, the petitioner Patrick C. Flynn, Regional Director, Sandy Creek Utilities Services, Inc., for the Sandy Creek Ranch Wastewater Treatment Plant filed a petition for a variance under Section 120.542, F.S., from the minimum wastewater treatment plant staffing required by subsection 62-610.462(3), F.A.C. The petition was assigned OGC No. 09-3595 and PA File No. FLA010019-008- DWF/VO. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on October 9, 2009. While subsection 62-610.462(3), F.A.C., requires the minimum staffing of 6 hours per day, 7 days a week by a Class C operator; the petitioner requested that the facility be staffed 3 hours per day, 5 days per week and one visit on each weekend by a Class C operator. On November 20, 2009, the Department granted the variance with conditions as requested based on the petitioner’s demonstration that the rule would present a substantial hardship or violate the principles of fairness and that the purpose of the underlying statute would otherwise be met.
