The Department of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice: that on April 9, 2018, the Department issued a Final Order, granting Cecilia Downey and David Williamson’s Petition for a Waiver. The petition was received on September 6, 2017. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on September 19, 2017. The petition requested waiver from the rule provisions of subsections 62B-33.002(17), F.A.C., 6 subsections 2B-33.002(43), F.A.C., and 62B-33.002(63), F.A.C., and subparagraph 62B-33.0051(1)(a)1, F.A.C, which requires that in order to qualify for a permit for coastal armoring, the structure proposed to be protected must be an eligible structure.
