62-520.420: Standards for Class G-I and Class G-II Ground Water

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on November 30, 2007, the Department of Environmental Protection has issued an order.

The order was for an emergency temporary variance for the Department of Transportation (DOT) to exceed the iron standard in Rule 62-520.420, F.A.C., for its dewatering project associated with the Miami Intermodal Center at the Miami International Airport. The notice of receipt was published on November 21, 2007, and a corrected notice of receipt is published in this edition. DOT demonstrated that an emergency variance was appropriate because of the magnitude of the costs involving project construction delays if the variance were processed as a non-emergency petition. Substantial hardship was demonstrated by DOT because of the high cost of treatment to meet the iron standard, a non-health based standard. An alternate iron level is established in the order to be protective of public health, with ground water monitoring.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Donnie McClaugherty, DEP, 2600 Blair Stone Rd., MS 3530, Tallahassee, FL 32399-2400, [phone].
