RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

62-610.462:Reliability and Operator Staffing

The Department of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice that it has issued a Final Order on June 23, 2017, granting KW Resort Utilities Corp’s Petition for a Variance for its wastewater treatment facility located in Key West. The Petition was received on May 15, 2017. Notice of receipt of this Petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on June 6, 2017. The petition requested a variance from subsection 62-610.462(3), F.A.C, which establishes minimum staffing requirements at the Petitioner’s wastewater treatment facility. No public comment was received. The Final Order reduced the staffing requirement to 6 hours/day, 5 days/week provided there is no discharge to reuse facilities. The Final Order granted the variance to avoid the substantial economic hardship of requiring a certified operator even though the facility rarely produced reuse water on weekends.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting Bill Robertson, P.E., DEP South District, P.O. Box 2549, Fort Myers, Florida 33902-2549, [phone], [e-mail], during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. through Friday, except legal holidays.
