NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on July 10, 2008, the South Florida Water Management District has issued an order.

The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Governing Board issued Order No. SFWMD 2008-325-DAO-ERP Granting Variance under Section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes (Order), dated July 10, 2008 to United States Southern Command (Petitioner) for a project known as the United States Southern Command Headquarters Facility, located in Miami-Dade County, Section 28, Township 53 South, Range 40 East. The Petition for Variance (Application 080611-1) was received by the SFWMD on June 11, 2008. Notice of Receipt of the Petition requesting the variance was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 34, No. 25, on June 20, 2008. Specifically, the Order grants a variance from subsection 40E-4.301(1), F.A.C., regarding conditions for issuance of permits. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the variance as follows: 1) the SFWMD has jurisdiction to consider the Petitioner’s request; 2) the Petitioner has provided reasonable assurances that the purpose of the underlying statute will be achieved through other means by the Petitioner; and 3) the Order granting a variance from the subject rule is necessary to prevent the Petitioner from suffering substantial hardship and is necessary to allow for principles for fairness as set forth in Section 120.542, Florida Statutes.
