The Department of Health hereby gives notice on June 28, 2012, the Department of Health issued an order in response to a petition for an emergency waiver filed on June 5, 2012, by Bruce Stowe, representing Roth Global Plastics, Inc., regarding the “Fralo / Roth Septic Tank”. Petitioner sought an emergency waiver of paragraph 64E-6.013(2)(a), F.A.C., Florida Administrative Code, which requires all receptacle stiffening members such as ribs to be a homogenous integral part of the structure.

Therefore, pursuant to the requirements of Section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes, the Department GRANTED WITH STIPULATIONS Petitioner’s request for an emergency waiver.
